IL the berastaiion, steamer, Of six runs; tho Arv0p
and the Telegraph, Of one gun each; and the NaLH o.
two guns, in the gulf OF 81 Lawrence; making, "a
The whole, vessels wth total Of thirty one guns
sent BY tbs Imperial Government nto these waters
you add TO this force the flagship OF Vcs Admiral Sey-
mour, the Cumberland with seventy guns, tnere are
altogether hundred and guns. This IL tho ns-
val force which has been sent Into the Norh'Esern
sess
was there before this great naval force sent Last
year there WA the fag ship the Cabrand comma aded
BY the Sir Charles Seymour With serenity guns
friaate of twenty six guns two oops of sixteen gun,
and one steamer of six guns. making In the vh Die,
sixty -four guns, without the CubrlaRd, and, uclud.
Ing the Cumberland, hundred and thiryfour guns
Then this mighty naval demonstration, which has so
excited the Senate, and reused In indgn atom. and
brought down Its censures upon the Admnistrat N,
conists 10 reduction of the naval force which Great
Britain had In those waters year agotron one h1nfref
and thirty four 10 one hundred and one guns WAT
British Governmenthas done, has been to wi.hdrsws)ns
large steamers because they were not so u's'u In
compshine the objects designed, because they wl1f
be more useful elsewhere. and TO substitute Ia ,ha'r
place large number OF Inferior ys'ses, either m)fe
| efficient there, or less useful ese~here
The Senate will understand me. | 90 not say t1lis
the whole force which Is In those waters There u an
increaie think, the whole which ia furnished %
small vessels Of the different provinces; Canada havlo-
sent two or three; Nova Scoti, three or four; ant
Prince Ed ward Island think, l. But the qIeiti11 an
upop ard the real question H. what the In 1sr,al
Government has done, and so say the British Govern
| meDt has reduced the number of guns employed.

| Ing somewhat the tone Of proclamation, by Sir loan
| Pscklnston, appeared and at the moment was miynt
fed and sppIsuded BY the colonial newspapers 10 a
most beicose manner, and before the l.ttsf OF the
British Minister could have been read received ~
the President of the Unlted States, an alarm vert
abroad throughout the fisheries and along the no-h
eastern coasts IL exactly at the season when le
| fishermen going 10 the ocean fields 10 gather
their autumnal hsrvests. The President IL seem,
| took pains 10 obtain information Informally, aai ms
caused it to be published, in notice is'1ed By
tta 0fG STATE md fateA al no Ia art
ment of State, July 6. 1852. and which has oce1
| called here the "procamation Of the Secretary.
The Senate will see that the Secretary 81 State set
| forth such unofficial information, (snd all the
information unoiicia) as had been obtained, and
stated the popular ne then prevalent saying that
the Imperial Government appeared now to be VII
ling 10 adopt the construction OF the Governor IN.
! sisted on by the Colonies lnfsrripg from crcGnr
the hazard and dangers which would arise he
set forth the precisely as feemed to stand Tia
adverted 10 the question uydsrstood as likely 70 De pm
| In issue and admitting that technically the Convection
of ls- would bear the rigorous construction tnsistsi
on by the Colonies he declared the dissent Of the GOV
| eminent of the United States from il f; and then con
muncsed the to the persons engaged in this hard
and hazardous trade, thar they might be "on t'eir
| guard"
am surprised that any doubts should bs raised 10
the proclamation being the act Of the Government.
