THE DUTY ON COAL.

1t will be seen by the following Letter of the
Secretary of the Treasury that the tariff laws will
still be in force in reference to the British North
American Colonies until the proper legislation shall
have been had by those Colonies on the Recipro-
city Treaty: #e
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, SEPTEMBER 10, 1854.
SIR: The fifth article Of the Reciprocity Treaty with
Great Britain provides that the present treaty shall
take effect the laws required to carry it into
operation shall have been passed by the Imperial Para
ment of Great Britain and by the Provincial Paraments
of those of the British North American Colonies which
affected by this treaty, the hand, and the
United States the other - and the sixth article pro-
Vides the treaty shall not embrace Newfoundland until
the Provincial Parliament Of the Colony Of Newfound
land and the Congress of the United States shall pass
laws to that effect ......
tits understood that the Imperial Parlisment and the
Congress Of the United States have passed the
laws to carry the treaty into effect Including Newfound
land; but that the pariaments Of of the British
North American Colonies have yet acted upon the sub
sct and Of them will not be in session for several
months. .-.*:<.
The navigation Of the ST. Lawrence and the fisheries
being considered imperial rights have been conceded
the United States by Great Britain in advance of the
proper legislation by the Colonies; but that has effect
upon the tariff of the Colonies, which only be taken
away by their legislation, and the legislation Of the
United States has been made dependant upon their action
The tariff laws will therefore be in force though The
treaty had not been made until the British Colonies shall
legisate upon the subject in accordance with the pro
visions of the treaty Their legislation will of b
and, when communicated, viii be made public, and thu
proper notice given as to cessation of duties
am, very respectfully,
JAMES GUTHRIE,
..> . Secretary of the Treasury.
Collector &c. New York ..+
