The Secretary says it has been here perceived,
with satisfaction, that the government of
England is prepared to enter into an nrronge-
ment for the admission Of the United States
to a full participation inthe public fisheries
on the coasts and shores Of the Provinces,
with the exception, at present, Of New
Foundland, and in the right of drying and
curing fish on the shore, on condition of the
admission, duty free, into the markets of the
United States, of the products of the colonial
fisheries; similar privileges, on the like con-
ditons, to be reciprocully enjoyed by British
subjects on the coasts and shores of the United
States. And it is now also understood that
the British government is desirous, in concert
with the provinces, to come to an agreement
with the United States for reciprocal free
trade with the provinces in certain nutona
productions; and that the free navigation o
the river st. Lawrence and the Wellanj
canal would be conceded as part of the ar
rangement.
