Negotiations at Ghcnt-Wc always snspect-
ed that 'tllere existed something respecting
the conduct Of certain of our Commissioners
at Client, which if was NOT wished should
come before the public. We now find our
suspicious were not without foundation: for
by the correspondence, which has been
brought TO light through iDdefatigaJie persc-
verance, 1T appears that it was actually in
contemplation, and that n majority of our
Ministers did at one time consent to permit
the British TO navigate the Mississippi, " from
It's source TO the ocean," in return for the
permission TO fish on the British North Anne
Iican coasts. Messrs. Adams, Gallatin and
Bayard are named as the majority who sane
Toned this proposition, which was opposed by
biessrs Clay and Russell but which was az
forwards abandoned, in consequence, it is be-
iIevet, OF Mr. Bayard having come over to the
minority. We could scarcely have supposed
any American capable Of listening to 80 extra
ordinary proposition, and we really believe
the British Commissioners must have found il
difficult TO preserve their gravity when they
learnt that 1t had been cordially received, and
was likely to be adopted. IN Y. Com. .Afu.
