Correspondence relating to an alleged viola
ton of the treaty of Washington is published
at Ottawa, Canada. The closing dispatch from
Sir Edward Thorntoa to Earl Derby, dated
January "a, 1876, sets forth that Secretary
Fish had promised to call the attention of Con-
sress to the matter and endeaVor to procure
the repeal of the Objectionable tariff upon the
tins containing fish imported from Canada. He
had excused himself from fulfilling the promise
on the ground that the multitudes of requests
for papers by the then new House Of Repre-
sentatives mad more than usually occupied his
time, but he further promised to call the atten-
ton Of the Chairman Of the Committee OF
Ways and Means to the subject at the earliest
opportunity. Sir Edward adds Your lord.
ship is, however, aware that the House OF
Representatives is now 50 constituted that it is
difficult to induce it to pay attention to any
representation made to it by the executive gov
eminent, nor has it great desire to rectify
mistakes which may have been made by the
last House, 10 which the majority was of oppo-
site party to that Of which it is now com.
posed"

The protocol which it is understood has been
for submission to the European Pow

The protocol which it is understood has been
prepared for submission to the European Pow
ers and to the Porte contains no engagement
to use coercion 10 any FORM nor is any time
fixed within which the former are to use their
influence or after which they are to consider
that their efforts have failed. The London
Times believes that if England takes The lead
in accepting the paper the other Powers Will
follow. It will then depend upon the spirit
with which the Porte receives it whether the
path to final paci6cation will have been at last
found. The meeting Of the British Cabinet
which was held yesterday to consider the terms
Of agreement appears to have reached no con-
cusion whatever. The London Post says, as
if by authority, that tho Eastern question ls
not to be settled 10 an hour, and that the
Council of yesterday will be followed BY an
other, and perhaps by many more. AS mat
tiers now stand, it adds, there is very fair
prospect of an arrangement which will meet
the exigences Of the OCCASION, and if certain
caution is exercised 10 working to foal deter
mutation, there is no room for its being said
that hitch has occurred.
