Quite large number of fishermen are fitted out
at this place for the Banks, and several oil them
making home Within the lastfew days report trouble
on the fishing grounds. Fish are scarce the weather
has been thick and in addition to all the English
government has forbidden them to buy bait within
ground of Grand Manan island, and every vessel Is
boarded The threatened penalty is forfeiture OF the
vessels and tackle This IS serious matter to the
fishermen and renders their business rather preca-
rious To reach the nearest American port and re-
turn to the grounds with bait WILL with fair sailing,
consume two days, and il they do not carry Ice the
bait by that time Will be nearly unfit for use. The
reciprocity treaty provided that our seamen could
land Tor wood and water, and although no
other articles were mentioned II seemed TO
pe generally understood that there were TO
other articles. Our fishermen do not understand 1t
and are very Indignant and would test the legality
OF the structure but that the prospect OF long period
OF litigation Is more than they can afford to stand
under Everything but bait can be purchased, and
thlS makes the action Of the British government the
more inc0mprehensible. The latest report from the
grounds Is that two Cape Ann vessels have been
seized, but this Is somewhat doubtful. This Is the
first time that prohibition In this particular has
been attempted. When interrogated IN regard to
the matter the reply Is made that they are now
been dead letter. In addition to the man-0lWar,
which carries eighty-fve men, about eight sailing
vessels have been fitted out, and these, looking 80
much like fishermen, can come up with our vessels
before they aware, and II detected fishing With
In three miles OF the coast, will be easily captured.
The Englshmen are pretty arrogant so say our
1sheymen and serlous trouble Is apprehended,

present action just as forbore to explain the mo.
uves that controlled my reslgnati0n. Encouraged
by your kindness l beg leave to entrust to your
executive session the fears that fmpeed the proler
and the hopes that accompany this withdrawal.
Very sincerely, your 0bedient servant, -l N
