JAS. w. Schaumburg was brought before the Crmi-
nal Court of Washington, on the sth inst, on writ
of habeas corpus in order to have the question Of
application for bail decided upon, the application
having been made on the ground that Mr.. Fuller
was now considered out of danger. The judge after
patiently hearing all that could be urged deemed an

Fuller altogether premature, and therefore renanded
schaumburg to prison.

of the best colonial fishermen having hitherto pre-
ferred serving in United States vessels they heinz of
a superior class, the capital of the owners larger
than those Of provincial vessels, bait being
plentiful, and consequently the "catch" greater and
each man having half his own catch. The remedy
Com. Campbell considers as simple--merely to keep
the Americans of according to the treaty. And
this he considers az important consideration, for,
he adds, il cannot be deniabe that so many young
men should be employed ON American vessels, and
II they are, it cannot be supposed that their loyalty

tinues, tat ii the fisheries protected, and rich
harvest secured to the coonist Though he be faint
ed by such pernicious intercoursel he knows when
he becomes citizen he loses it. The effect ON the
man who looks TO selfinterest alone, is therefore
clear at prcsent-he does not gain by being British
subject and has nothing to lose on becoming an
American citizen. In short, | respectfully submit
that the protection of the fisheries forms the closest
bond OF union between Great Britain and the United
States, and have been deeply impressed with this
opinion during my intercourse with the people, and
feel ii duty to represent it."
Commodore Campbell concludes his interesting
report by suggesting that ten twelve serviceabc
cutters, large whale boats, should be stationed at
different points along the shores OF the Gulf and
presses his belief that, with ten or twelve boats well
manned, and ia charge OF officers possessing energy
and zeal, the Americans might be kept entirely OF
the fishing grounds Of that part of the coast which
the Devastation stationed and which he Is salts
fed would not be resisted by the American fishing
vessels.
