THE EASTERN FISHERIES.

The ST. Johns Ledger publishes the following commu-
nicaton from ST. Georges Bay, May 80 which gives the
circumstances of the taking the control Of the fisheries
there by the French detail than have had them
before:
g take the first opportunity TO inform You that the
French cutter has assumed the exclusive right OF the
fisheries here and has driven all the English schooners
of the Bay, which about forty in number They

We regret that the Union pcrceives an exhibition
of irrtated feeling which is not in keeping with our
usual equanimity in few remarks which we submit
led on Tuesday. They were suggested by some inpu-
,taions upon the motives Of the British Government
in sendng to the Leander frigate, the writer al
leging that it was this vessel which had fred into
the chesapeake in 1907.
We assure our contemporary that the statement
which VIC copied from one paper (and also repeated
by others) did what attributed to it, and it
was because it untrue and illustrative Of too
common disposition in many publcists to excite bit
ter feelings against every other country than our
own that we used that statement peg upon which
to hang our opinion in reference TO such narrow
generous, and even unpatriotic conduct Our OBJ
seryations were not intended as severe Lectures"
