Iterference with American Fishermen Measures aiopted by the British Gov ernment to maintain their exclusive rig'itto take fish Probable collosioa with the fishermen. The British and colonial Governments, are at the present moment adopting the most stringent measures to drive the American fishing vessels away from the fishing grounds in t e Bay of Fundy, on the coast oi Nova Scotia, and in the Gull of St. Lawrence, to which points hundreds of those vessels retort every summer, By treaty American fishermen are not allowed to fish within a maritime league of the coast, where is the best fishing ground, nor in the Bay of Fundy; but they have been in the habit of disregar ding the prohibition, end not only have done this, but have gone on snore, and it would appear, have carried on aconsid erable traffic with the inhabitants, and it is said, in some instances, created adisturbance. The Canadian Government has fitted out a vessel to cruise in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, on board of which is a magistrate and police force: four armed veseis have been fitted out by that of Nova Scotia which are commanded by very determined men, who are resolved lo" bring things to a crisis. One had been fitted out by New Foundland, and one will be sent into the Bay of Fundy by the Government of New Brunswick. In the meantime the British Government have been equally on the alert, and the Admiral on the North American sta tion has despatched the Devastation steam frigate which has been placed under the orders of the Governor of Prince Edward .Island, for the protection ol the fisheries in its vicinity: An ai med cutter has also teen sent into the Bay of Fundy, and has already captured an A merican fisherman found in its waters. Two sloops cf war have b's 1 been despatched to the Gulf of St. Lawrence the Bermuda and Sappho for the purpose of enforcing the treaty, and a fleet i small armed vessels and steamers. 1 am credibly informed, era on their way from England with a similar object. It is much to be feared that this sudden end unexpected action may produce bloodshed, and its ultimate results with reference to the relations between the two countries, it is impossible to foretell The fishing vessels frequent the grcunds in large bodies, several of them cruising in company; and it will not be a matter of surprise if they ofief resistance to any tva&U armed vessel which may interfere dta trsetr occupation, and thus produce a cc"osSc-a that may lead to consequence cfa friorj i--:urc; E3 an j .; 1 HI e u 1 .vi !) i c a a 13 ce.-.cer... 1. .r, cf tf.2 C. .1L1 r.-.x il Lr-es ci tl e Mat ci.
