TELLER'S VIEW OF JOHN BULL,


WASHINGTON CITY. Aug. Teller con
tinued the debate in the senate yesterday on
the fisheries treaty, and paid his respects to
England, which country, he said, had never
kept an engagement with any people that
was not ready and willing TO compel her to
do so. Her conduct in diplomacy aud every
where else was against the idea of her con-
ceding TO American fishermen that which
they were entitled TO, unless she feared the
power OF the government of the United
States. England as a nation had sympathizei
with the south and had attempted to
find some reason for hostilitles with the
United States. Her history justified the
declaration of jefferson that she would de-
stroy the liberties OF the world so that she
might sell bale Of fur She WAS to-day leg
