The News.
By the arrival Of the steamship Albatross, from
Ha,ifax, and by the telegrsphie vires, We are en-
sSled to lay before readers great deal Of very
Anteresipg matter concerning the fishery difficulty
viSh the British Provinces. Among other things,
We observe that two vessels have already been
ats~d out Mt New Brunswick, for the express parPose
Of checking the eucroaehments Of the French Usher
men IL would thus appear that the Americans
$50 not to be the only once driven from the ground.
Indeed, judging from the tone Of the provincial
NE rs, as well the Official documents elsewhere
given, the sole cause Of the trouble with our
ne,ehbers on the other side Of the St. Laurence,
vss their anxious desire for reciprocal trade with us,
combined with their opposition to the French hsher-
ne. i, viii be seen that the inhabitants Of the pro-
viDces are particularly DESTROYS in their petition TO
he Queen on the subject, hat the nericaus should
continue to fish in the waters thereabout; but, AZ
the same time. they avoid alluding to the French,
from whom they derive no advantage in the way Of
tsade; while, the Other hand, it is well estab-
6shed fact that they reap many perquisites from
he Americans by the sale of produce, the right Of
suripc feb on shore, Sc in addition to which a
very large number OF them gain livelihood by
being employ ed on board ofour vessels They seem
70 und erstand perfectly well that the with lrawal
sf the American fishermen from their coasts will
really be an almost insurmountable loss to them.
This fishery affair the cause of considerable
Aiscussion and no little excitement, in the United
6sAtes Senate yesterday-a message having been
received from the President, transmitting all the
Official correspondence appertainng thereto Our
Senators esince determination not TO be driven in
this matter, cone what may, and will oppose any
treaty touching reciprocity in trade, or anything
else on the part Of the Executive, that will in any
way interfere with the rights OF the legislative
branch Of the government concerning the regua-
ton of the revenue laws. The speeches of Messrs.
Case Davis and Hamn on this subject, are parti-
cularly striking, and will be read with attention.
Some very interesting information touching this
controversy with the provinces, will be found in
the d. spatch from our special Washington cores
pendent. He states that the Affair has infused
considerable animation into the executive officers,
and that the clerks in the State Department have
been busy copying documents, night and day, since
Saturday Secretary Corwn it is reiterated, visited
Canada at the request Of the President, for the
press purpose of gaining information the subject,
and every Thing as been done 10 get at the bot
tom Of all the facts. Secretary Webster's views
upon the question seem to have been entirely
thrown overheard, and the President evinces
o determination to act for himself in the matter.
Il is strongly suspected, and not withou. good
reason, according to our correspondent, that this
fishery dispute was famed into fame by an Ameri-
can citizen, who DESTROYS for reciprocal trade
with the Canadians This gentleman, however
has evidently mistaken his bearings by endeavoring
60 push things TO extremes, and in the end may
fad that be has Jumped cut Of the frying pan into
the fire." One thing is very certain-the best in
formed mon in Washington and elsewhere, appear
10 have no idea that the dispute is Of sufficient mag
nitude 10 lead to a war, although it may eventually
cause n vast deal Of diplomatic negotiation.
The House Of Representatives, yesterday, very
Trudently resolved to cut OF all further Buncombe
speeches on the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation
bill. One gentleman, Mr. Johnson. of Ga, was
very DESTROYS Of gratifying his constituents by de-
,ivering bis views the Presidential question; but
as tbe constituents Of other members expected them
10 attend TO the public business, he could not be
gratGed. Why does he not print bis speech, as
Other sensible members have donei IT would save

through several amendments to the bill in question,
md approving of one sppropriating $4,000 towards

adjourned.
The steamship Hermann, arrived early yesterday,
Brought four days later news from Europe. The
management or the Hermann, under her present
commander, Lieut. Higgins, and the head engineer,
Mr. Gallagher, has justly attracted tho attention Of
the public at both sides Of the ocean, as testified BY
the complimentary Testimonials conferred upon the
commander and his jealous oficers The regularity
Of her movements result more from the interior
economy Of the vessel, than from her mould or out.
lines and the triumph she has achieved over for
Sner Disadvantages, leaves doubt upon the most
skepcal that experience is the best reformer and
regulator Of the great machinery by which her move
