TREATY. The steamship Ame rice, which arrived at Liverptra yesterday, has placed u e in possession of important information relating to L ird Elgin's mission to the -United States. The following particulit.rs may be relied upon : Lord Elgin, on the departure- of the America fwd' Liverpool, wd's Ali-out to leave Washiag.en, after having' completed a ver7 importa att treaty with the Government of the United States. The chief features of thi.s treaty are, that the, citizens of the United States are tap enjoy the same privileges in regard to fishing as are po esessed by the colonists ian all the coasts of the British _Worth American provineoe— that is, they will obtain the • right of fishing Within th. Tee miles of all bays, inlets, coy. ri', &c. They will be allowed 1 to erect and carry on fishii n establishments on British North American territory. The naval force hitherto kept up by Great Britain to protect the provincial fishermen will be removed. in exchange for these great privileges there is to be complete reciprocity and free trade between the U tilted States and the provinces in all articles the produce of each, with the exception of sugar and tobacco, coming from the United States, which are to' pay the same duties as are levied upon these articles 'when arriving from British colonies or other parts of the world. Maneifitetured articles, although manufactured from products ,of either country, are not to be admitted under the terms of the treaty. As Canada—especially Western Canacla—is daily becoming a more wheat producing country, • the operation rf that treaty cannot fail to be at once of g. at importaiice to the province, and its already imme. vse 1 lumbering trade will also receive a fresh impetus fro In the treaty. An efYort was made by Lord Elgin to obtait American registers for vessels built at Quebec, St. John's, and the other ship building ports of the province ; but the American Gov( Tament declined to entertain that proposal. Lord Elg in would, after visiting New York, leave that city on the 7th inst., to accept an invitation which he had received from the Mayor and municipality of Portland, after which he proceeds on the following day over the Grand function Railway to Montreal, where (also at Quebec) great preparations are making to receive his excellency on his return after a seven months' absence.
