much as they are less landlocked than the
Bay of Fundy, and to express the hope
that the concession was meant to extend to
them, which there was some reason to think,
from the mode in which Lord Aberdeen ex-
pressed himself was the case
l received. last evening, the answer Of
his Lordship, informing me that my two
notes had been referred to the Colonial Of
fee, and that a final reply could not be re-
turned until he should be made acquainted
with the result Of that reference; and that
in the meantime, the concession must be
understood to be limited to the Bay of
Fundy.
The merits of the question are SO clear
that [ cannot but anticipate that the deci-
sion of the Colonial Office will be in favor
of the literal construction of the Conven-
ton. In the meantime, beg leave to sug-
gest, that in any public notice which may
be given that the Bay of Fundy is hence
forth open to American fishermen, it should
be carefully stated that the extension of the
same privilege to the other great bays on
the Anglo-American dependencies, is a mat
ter of negotiation between the two govern
ments. My note of the. 25th of March, and
I'd instant, will suggest the reason for pre-
senting the actual state of the controversy
in this form
