DANIEL WEBSTER.
The dispatch referred to we copy below. 1t
certainly affords important testimony on the A
merican side of the question, and goes to show
that The ID, rby Ministry are seeking TO reverse
fhe pulley Of their pred. cessors in some oftlcir
more important relations with the United Stat
es, thus establishing the novel principle in in
tern,,onal law ,ha, new Cabinet, on lis ac-
ccsson to Office, is at liberty to disregard the
stipuIations or concessions OF administrators
or government which has proceeded it Great
Britain, 1t is taken for granted, is as strongly
bound at this m iment, by the acts of Sir Ro-
bert Peel's admidis ,ration, in their transactions
with foreign nations, as by the acts Of her mi
nistry now IN power.

JAMES BUCHANAN, Esq, Secretary of State
Sir: With my dispatch No. 275, of 25,h
March, transmitted the note of Lord Aber.
deem of the 10Th of March communicating the
important information that this government had
come to the determination 10 concede to Anne
rican fishermen the light of pursuing their oc-
cupation within the Bay of Fundy. 1t was left
somewh uncertain by Lord Aberdeen's note,
whether this concession was intended to be
confined TO the Bay af Fundy, to extend to
other portions OF he coasts of the Anglo- Anne
rlcan possessions, to which the principles con-
tended for by the Government of the U.ited
States equally apply, and particularly 70 the
waters on the Nor, hwestern shores of Cape
Breton, where the "Argus, was captured In
my notes of the 25th ut,, and Cd inst, on the
subject Of the "Washington" and the "Argus,
was careful to point out 10 Aberdeen that all
the reasons for admitting The right Of Americans
to fish in the Bay OF Funday apply to those wat
crs and with superior force, in as 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 expressed himself, was the
I received, last evening, the answer OF his
Lordship, informing me that my two notes had
been referred to the Colonial Office. and that
final reply could not be returned TILL 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 50 clear, that
cannot but anticipate that the decision OF Inc
Colonial Office will be in favor of The literal
r.l. Int
tine beg leave to suggest, that in any public
notice which may be given that the Bay of Fun
DIV is henceforth open to American fishermen,
it should be carefully stated that the extension
of the same privilege to the other great bays on
the colst Of the Anglo American dependencies
is matter ofnegotia,ion between the two Gov
ernments My notes Of the 25th of March and
2nd inst will suggest the reason tor presenting
the actual state of the controversy in this
form. ev sass

Transmitted with despatch No. 800,
The Earl Of ANDkRsoS to MIR. EVERETT,
April Il, ls45
The latest intelligence from the British pro-
vinces, we may add, indicates that the naval
force which has been despatched to the waters, OF
Newfoundland is far stronger than we were at
first informed Of. The Halifax Morning Chron-
icle thus sums up.
Cumberland, ~, alag, Sir G. F. Seymour
Captain Seymour.
Devastation, 5, steam sleop, 300 horse power,
Com Campbell y
Bazzard, 6, steam sloop, 800 horse power
CON-
Janus, 4, steam sloop, 900 horse power.
Lieut. -
Ne,ler, 3. ke.ch, Com. Kynaston.
Bermuda, 2, schooner, Lieut.. Dolly
Arrow, brigantinr.
Telegraph schooner.

Belle, 2, brigantine, Master Growell;
n Responsible, g, schooner Master D"dd.
Daring. 9, schooner, Master DAILY.
In addition to this formidable force. Ills Elk
cellency, Sir G. F. Seymour, has ordered two
more vessels besides the Arrow and Telegraph
to be fitted, Professionally, differed and named
by the British Government.
The Buzzard, which was hourly expected
from Portsmouth, brings out men 10 man the
hired vessels. To this must be added two from
New Brunswick, one from Canada, and one
from Prince Edward Handwriting total OF
the armed vessels,
This certainly gives to the base squally as
pect !; but it is mode of interpreting treaty
that will never do. Let but these vessels open
their batteries upon the unar:ned American
vessels in those waters, and we apprehend Lord
Derby would have storm about his ears of a
more Immediately meaning character than he
and his compeers in the office dream of. We
devoully hope they will not go fur as TO at
tack eur fishermen, at least before there is amp
lie warning given that their rights there con
tested, and that the dispute is subjected TO dip
lo,na,ic negotiation. With mutual forbearancc,
all win be well but one rash, false step may
leopard the peace Of the two countries.
The Courier, (Boston) in introducing Mr..
Everet,'s despatch to the public, we see. init
mates that this movement of the Derby Minis
Try is but cover to scheme for fomenting
hostile feeling between the two countries; in
support Of which suppos,ion it refers to spirit
and temper recently running through the writ
ings and public speeches of many individuals Of
the High Tory class in England These per-
Suns, it,thinks, have displayed great soreness,
at witnessing the growth Of the republican spir-
it among the inhabitants of British America,
and have declared it as their opinion that moth
ing but timely war with the United States
would save he Colonies TO Great Britain. 1t
puts the question, therefore, whether Lord Der
BY has taken this hint, and now attacks the A. |
merican fishermen as a cope dessal in advance
Of more serious hostile movements.
We do not share these opinions, because we
have seen neither "bad spirit nor a s.bad tenn
per- towards the United States in the writings |
or public speeches ofmen IN office or authority |
in great Britain because we do not think that |
any OF Her Majesty advisers would take upon
themselves the responsibility of gettingup war
with this country for the sake of saving the CO.
lonies to England; and more than all, because
We do not think the persons TO whom the gov
eminent Of Great Britain has recently been
are madmen, bent SO early in their
political ex perience upon self destruction, and
he destruction Of the peace happiness, and pros
We repeat here what we Lave said before no |
