they received for recognising the right of Anne
ricans to visit the fishing grounds of the bay in
question; seeing that that right was virtually
provided for by treaty. The formal acknow-
ledgment of it, however, by Sir RoBERT PEEL,
only adds to the offensiveness of Lord DERBY's
present proceeding. The law of nations must
be rewritten before the minister Of to-day can
by stroke ot'the pen annul the stipulations or
concessions of predecessor; or before any min
lister can with impunity attempt to divest a
friendly power of rights as valid as any Of
which England boasts. ...
We are persuaded that the British govern
ment will not derive any signal advantage
from their course in this matter. II is not cal
culated to add to their moral influence among ma
tons; and as a piece of strategy, leveled at this
country, it will assuredly fail to effect any be-
neicial object. Our people are not to be
frightened from a position rightfully held by
the presence of some halfdozen war sloops and
schooners, and it is somewhat surprising that
government existing at this day in England
need ~ be reminded Of the fact.
The colonies, too, should have known ere
this that the display of hostile feelings and the
adoption Of an exasperating policy are not wea-
pons that can be used with effect in their fight
for Reciprocity. They may perchance destroy
the prospects of measure of that nature, but
they cannot possibly advance it. We are not
in the habit of conceding to force what is with
held from justice or expediency, and Recipro-
city is not likely to be an exception to the rule.

In the Senate yesterday the bill authorizing
contract for the construction Of ship canal
around the Falls of St. Mary, at a cost not
exceeding 100000, was debated, and then
postponed.
The House of Representatives passed the
bill granting the right of way to all plank and
railroads, and Macadamized turnpikes, through
the public lands; and the bill supplementary to
the Census act of May, 1850. A resolution
was adopted calling upon the President of the
United States for information in relation to the
fisheries on the coast of North America and
the recent events in that quarter. The River
and Harbor bill was taken up and debated in
Committee of the Whole on the state Of the
Union. The general discussion is to terminate
this afternoon, at one O'Clock.

Mr.. LOCKHART nvowed himself strict con-
structiouist Of the Constitution, aud said he
prepared to vote for just system of measures, OF
national character, for the improvement Of rvi rs
| and harbors In doing so he was not departing
| from the Democratic doctrine having before him
the example Of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jack
son. ami Polk. He thought that his Virginia friends
ought to throw aside their distractions, and come
into this measure, and not be stubborn and
| mulsh the subject. James river ought to be
improved; and, if the gentleman from Virginia
would introduce an amendment for that purpose,
| he would vote for it.
| MIR. MILLSON remarked the gentleman had
fallen into error in supposng that he was in
terested in the navigation OF James river.
Mr.. LOCKHART understood that each Virginia
member acted for himself They were oil freemen
| and free thinkers. He had no doubt the gentleman
from Richmond would do what he believed TO be

troduce an amendment for the improvement Of
James river, he would go with him; but not

Mr. CASKIE said he should move such an

and not fail to do this because he (Mr. CO. could
not agree with the character of their policy.

JANIS BUCHANAN, esq., Sec rotary Of State:
Sra: With my despatch No. 27S, Of March rs, i
transmitted the note of Lord Aberdeen of the 10th
of March, communicating the important informa.
ton that this government bad como to the deter.
mination to concede to American fishermen the
right Of pursuing their occupation within the Bay
OF Fundy. II was left somewhat uncertain by Lord
Aberdecn's note, whether this concession was in
tended TO be confined to the Bay Of Fundy, or to
extend to other portions Of the coasts OF the Anglo
American possessions, to which the principles con-
tended for by the Government of the United States
equally apply, and particularly to the waters on
the northeastern shores of Cape Breton, where the
ARGUS" was captured. In my notes Of the 25th
utimo and Cd instant the subject of the I" w ash
ington" and the "Argus," was careful to point
out to Lord Aberdeen that oil the reasons for i'd
hitting the right of Americans TO fish in the Bay
of Fundy apply to those waters and with superior
force, inasmuch 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

ship, informing me that my two notes had been
referred to tho Colonial Office, and that final re-
ply 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 so clear, that
cannot but anticipate that the decision Of the Colo
NAL Office will be in favor of the literal construc
ton Of the convention. In the meantime, beg
leave to suggest, that in any public notice which
may be given that the Bay of Fundy is hcnccforth
open to American fishermen, it should be carefully
stated that the extension Of the same privilege "a
the other great bays on the coast of the Anglo
American dependencies is n matter of negotiation
between the two governments My notes of the
25th of March and I'd instant will suggest the
reason for presenting the actual state of the
