TRADE WITH BRITISH AMERICA.

The following is the text of a bill introduced into
the United States House of Representatives on the
Bth instant, by Mr. Beaman, of Michigan, to regu-
late trade with the British American Provinces :
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America, iu Congress assem-
bled, That the following named articles, being the growth
and product of the British North American provinces,
shall be admitted into the United States when directly im-
ported, at a duty of five per centum ad valorem. That is to
say, grain, flour, and breadstuffs of all kinds, fish, smoked
and salted meats, seeds, green and dried fruits, fish of all
kinds, precincts of fish, and of all other creatures
living in the water, poultry, butter, cheese, maple sugar,
lard, tallow; timber and lumber of all kinds, round,
hewed, sawed, but not otherwise manufactured in whole
or iu part; fish-oil, coal, firewood, griudstencs, rough
and manufactured; provided, that similar articles of the
growth and product of the United States shall be admitted
into the said Provinces of North British America at a rate
of duty not higher thin the duty imposed by this act
upon similar articles when imported into the United States
from the Provinces aforesaid. And provided, further,
that all export duties upon any of the above-enumerated
articles shall be abolished and cease to exist.

Soc. 2. And be it further enacted, That for the use and
privilege of navigating the waters of Lake Michigan by
citizens of Canada, the same rights and privileges are to
be conceded to the citizens of the United States by Canada
in the waters of the St. Lawrenco and its canals as are en-
joyed by British subjects, without distinction as to tolls,
and charging rates proportioned to canal distance. And,
provided that for the free transit of goods, wares, and mer-
chandise in bond, under proper regulations, by railroad
across the territory of the United States, to and from Port-
land, and the Canada line equal privileges shall be conceded
to the United States from 'Windsor or Port Tarnia, or other
western points of departure to Buffalo, or Ogdonsburgb,
or any other points eastward. And provided further, that
the free ports in Canada shall be abolished.

Sec. 3. And he it further enacted, That all the rights of
fishing near the shore existing under the treaty with Great
Britain of 1851, known as the "Reciprocity Treaty," shall
be granted and conceded by the United States to the said
Provinces of British North America ; provided that the
same rights and privileges of fishing, as existed and were
understood to exist under the said treaty, shall be granted
and conceded by the said Provinces to the United
States in every respect, including the shore fisheries of
the waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the waters and
shores of Lake Ontario, Erie, Huron, and Superior, with
full privileges to the citizens of the United States to fish
for or take, dry, and cure any fish of any kind whatever,
within three marine miles of any of the coasts, bays,
creeks, or harbours whatever of British North America,
the same as are enjoyed by citizens of British North Ame-
rica, and without distinction as between citizens of the
United States and of the said Provinces of British North
America as to duos or other regulations.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That no part of this
act shall go into effect unless and until all the stipulations
and concessions herein provided are mutually agreed to
by the said Governments of British North America, and
are mutually and reciprocally enforced by the Govern-
ments of British North America, as well as by the United
States; and upon the failure or neglect of the said Pro-
vinces of British North America, or any of them, to give
effect to any of the reciprocal provisions of this Act, either
as regards the mutual admission of articles, the national
growth and product of each country as heretofore enume-
rated, the free navigation of the St. Lawrence and the canals
thereof, the freedom of the fisheries, or any other provi-
sion herein contained which depends upon a mutual agree-
ment, concession, or privilege, made by the said Provinces
to the United States, then the provisions, concessions, re-
quirements of this Act, shall be held to close and to be of no
effect, so far as the said Provinces are concerned, and
public notice to that effect shall at once be given by pro-
clamation of the President of the United States —the true
intent and meaning of this Act being that it shall only
apply to those Provinces of British North America which
mutually become parties to its provisions by such recipro-
cal legistation as may be necessary to give them effect.

The American squadron reached Oat.end last Sun-
day. The King and Queen arrived at 10 o'clock on Monday
morning, visited the squadron, and returned to Brussels at 5
p.m. on Wednesday The United States splendid steam
frigate Franklin, 3,600 tons burden, and carrying 39 guns,
Capt. A. M. Pennock, the flagship of Admiral David D.
Farragut, commanding the European squadron of the
United States Navy, and accompanied by the war
steamer Ticonderoga, Captain B. H. Wyman, arrived
in the Southampton water from Ostend. On the
ships coming to anchor the American flag was run
up to the masthead of her Majesty's ironclad ship
Hector, lying off Netley Hospital, and saluted with
17 guns, and immediately afterwards the British flag was
hoisted from the main of the Franklin and saluted in like
manner. The Suratara, Commander William H. Jeffers,
has been lying in our waters for some timi past, and two
more vessels of the squadron aro expcted shortly—
namely, the Caiwndaigurt, Captain J. 11. Strong, front
Lisbon, and the Frolic, Commander D. It. 11:rmony.
The s4uadron will remain at Southamptrai about a fort
night, and during their rendezvous at that port the gallant
Admiral is exp,•en d to pay a visit to Scotland.
Mayor of rho borough, 111 r. J. R. Stebbing, waited upon
the American Consul, Captain John Britton, roqu“sting
him to ask it dndml Farragut to honour him with his
company at a dinner to which, previous to the arrival of
the Franklin, his worship had invited the oth sere of the
Sicatara and soma of tho borough officials at his private
residence, St. Andrew's Villa, on Thursday afternoon. The
Town Council, at a meeting held on ar ednesday, passed
a resolution unanimously inviting Admiral Farragut to a
public banquet proffered by the municipality to the gal-
lant Admiral and the officers of the ships under his com-
mand. A magnificent specimen of that scarce fish, 'the
royal sturgeon, measuring seven feet in length and weigh—
ing 1041 b., was caught in the upper part of the South-
ampton waters, betwom the R.,yal Victoria pier and the
magazines at Marchwood, the same morning, which has
baen purchafied by Mr. Alderman Perkins for presentation
to Admiral Farrogut, and was sent on board the Franklin.
