If the foregoing points be satisfactorily ar ranged, Canada is willing to adjust her excise duties upon spirits, beer and toha e), upon the best revenue standard which may be mutually adopted after full consideration of the subject, and if it desired to treat any other articles in the same way, the disposition of the Canadian yovernment is to give every facility in their power to prevent illicit trade. i With regard to the transit trade, it is suy- gested that the same regulations should exist on both sides, and be defined by law. Canada is also prepared to make her patent laws similar to those of the United States. MEMORANDUM 2. In response to the memorandum of the Hon. Mr. Gait and his associates, Hon, Mr. Smith, Hon. Mr. Henry, and the Hon, Mr. Howland, the Committee of Ways and Means, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, are prepared to recommend to the House of Repre- sentatives for their adoption a law providing for the continuance of some of the measures em braced in the Reciprocity treaty, soon to expire, viz :—For the use and privileges enjoyed now under the said treaty, in the waters of Lake Michigan, provided the same rights and privi- leges are conceded to thé citizens of the United States by Canada, in the waters of the St. Lawrence and its canals as are enjoyed by British subjects, without: discrimination as to tolls and charziuz rates proportioned to exnal distance; ulso for the free transit of goods, wares and merchandize in bond, under proper reculations, by railroad across the territory of the United States to and from Portland and the Canada tine; prorided equal privileges shall be conceded to the United States from Windsor or Po:t Sarnia, or other western points of departure to Buffalo or Ogdensburg or any other points eastward, and that the free ports established in the Provinces shall be abolished; -a’so that the bounties now “iven to American fish men shall be repeated and du- ties not hisher imposed upon fish than those mentioned in Schelude A, providing that all the risht of fishing near the shores existing und>r the treaty heretofore mentioncd shall be granted and conceded by the United States to the “Provinces, and by the Provinces to the United States. It is also further proposed that the following list of articles shall be mutually ‘free, viz:— Burr millstones, unwrought, cotton and linen rags, firewood, grindstones, rough or finished, gypsum, or plaster unground. Scuetvpvr A.—Fish—Mackerel, one dollar and fifty cents per barrel; herring, pickled or salted, one dollar per barrel; salmon, two doi- lays and fifty cents per barrel; shad, two dol- lars per barrel ; all other fish, pickled, one dol- lar and fifty cents per barrel, provided that any fish in packages other than barrels shall pay in proportion tothe rates charged upon similar fish in harvels. “All other fish, one-half cent per pound. As to the duties which will be imposed upon other articles ineluded in the treaty, the follow- ing are submitted, viz :—Animals, liviny, ofall sorts, twenty per centad valorem; apples and garden fruit and vegetables, ten per cent ad valorem; barley, fifteen cents per bushel; beans, exeept vanilla and castor oil, thirty cents per bushel: beef, one cent per pound; buckwheat, ten cents: pdt dashel; butter four ceuts perpound ; cheese, four cents per pound ; corn, Indian, and cents per bushel ; corn meal, Indian, and oafmeal, fifteen cents per bushel; coal, bituminous, fifty cents per ton; all other coal twenty-five cents per ton; flour, twenty-five per cent ad valorem ; hams, two cents per pound; hay, one dollar per ton; hides, ten per cent ad valorem; lard, three cents per pound ; lamber, pine, round or log, one dollar and fifty cents per one thousand feet; pine, sawed or hewn, two dollars and fifty cents per one thousand feet; planed, tongued and grooved or finished, twenty-five per cent ad valorem ; spruce and hemlock, sawed | said list. and, by giving rest and health to the child, eom- or hewn, one dollar per one thousand feet; spruce planed, finished or partly finished, twenty-five per cent ad valorem; shingle bolts, ten per cent ad valorem; shingles, twenty per vent ad valorem; all other lumber of black walnut, chesnut, bass, white wood, ash, oak, round, hewn or sawed, twenty per cent ad valorem; if planed, tongued and grooved, or finished, twenty:five per cent ad valorem ; oars, ten per cent ad valorem; peas, twenty-five cents per bushel; pork, one cent per pound ; seed, timothy and clover, twenty per cent ad valorem; trees, plant and shrub, ornamental and fruit, fifteen per cent ad valorem; tallow, two cents per pound; wheat, twenty cents per bushel. MEMORANDUM C. Wasnixaton, Feb. 6, 1866. In reference to the memorandum received from the Committee of Ways and Medns, the proyincial delegates regret to be obliged to state that the proposals therein contained in re- gard to the commercial relations between the two countries are not such as they can recommend for the adoption of the respective legislatures. The imposts which it is proposed to lay upon productions of the British provinees on thei: entry into the markets of the United States are such as in thetr opinion will be in some cases prohibitory, and will ceistainly seriously inter- fere with the natural course of trade. These imposts are so much beyoud what the delegates conceive to be an equivalent for the iuternal taxation of the United States that they are re. luctantly brought to the conclusion that the committee no longer desire the trade between the two countries to be carried on upon prin- ciples of reciprocity. With the concurrence of the British Minister at Washington, they are therefore obliged respectfully to deeline to en- ter into the engagement sugyested in the memo- that engages now the most earnest attention of randum; but the present views of the United States may svon be so moditied as to permit of the interchange of the productions of the two tountries upon a nove hberal basis. — a on LEAGUER ON HIS MAR- ROW BONES.

Fenianism is taxing all ‘the energy of the Irish Government. Troops continue to pour iuto the country, and the increase of the army there during the last few months has been very great. The hold which it has taken of the people is best reflected in an investigation re- cently held at Spike Island, near Cork, which resulted in the dismissal of the jail warders there, who had charge of some of the prisoners recently convicted before the Commission now sitting im Dublin. It is stated that the jail warders throughout Ireland have been to a large extent corrupted. The severe sentences intlicted on the principal conspirators seem to have had no effect on the great mass of their deluded followers, for the making of pikes, the securing of firearms, and other preparations for an outbreak have suffered no diminution. Be- tween the Fenians on the one hand, and the Orangemen on the other, the Government is placed in a perplexing position. Both the rival factionists ave ready for a struggle, and the most serious consequences would foilow if the Government was not strong enough to deal with boih.

The subject of the Reciprocity Treaty was au- nounced for Discussion before the “ Charlotte- town Literary and Debating Society " on Tues- day evening last, and I, C. Hall, Esq, ‘kindly coneented to open the debate. But as information had been reccived that the negociations touching that important subject at Washington had failed, Mr. Hall very properly declined to enter into de- tails on that subject ; and said that it pow remained for the people of the Culony to take into consider- ation the best ineans to obviate the depressing in- fluence on our trade, consequent upon the aboli- tion of the Treaty. He would, therefore, direct the attention of his audience to the Fishing inter- ests of this Island, upon which he said, the loss of the Reciprocity Treaty would bear heavily, eepe- cially on the Mackerel Fishing, the United States being the ouly market of any importance for the sale of mackerel. He observed that a duty of two dullars in gold per barrel would be intolerable ; and uuless a bounty of at least one dollar per barrel be grauted by the Legislature. that important branch of our industry would be very seriously crippled, if not altogether des- treyed. He alluded to the interesting fact that there were at the prerent time some ten or fifteen fishing vessels getting built on the Island, some of them first class vessels from American models, and would be fitted out iu the very best style. He stated that hundreds of young men left this Island and the adjoining Proviuces annually for Gloucester, Mass., and the other fishing ports in the States, aud shipped on board Americau fish- ing vessels, to cateb fish around their own native shores. Many of thuse young men, he said, be- came permanent settlers of the United States, and that at least one half of the population of Gloucester, Mass., were natives of Nova Scotia and P. E. Island. He stated that if the Govern- ment of this Colony were not prepared to sec their enterprising young men leave the Island, they should at onee encourage the Fisheries by giviug a bounty of at least one dollar per barre! on mackerel for a term of five years, and thereby enable a busives, now in its infancy, to establist itself, and place Island fishermen m a position te compete successfully with their American rivals From the success which had already attended ihe fisheries be was of opinion that in five years our exports of fish would exceed our experts ot grain. He regretted that the limited time at bis dieposal for preparing his rewarks had not en- abled him to prepare statistics in support of his views on that point. The Cod or Hake Fiehing, he said, might prove ecli-sustaining, as there were markets for that article all over the world The American market wax tie only available cr remuverative warket for mackerel. The bounty appropriated for mackerel Fishing would vastly increase ovr Jinports, and improve Ube generai busivuess of the Islaud by creating a howe market for our farmers. Fishermen, he said, were large cousnmers of beef, pork, butter, potatoes, &e He spoke of the facilites for building fishing ves sels on this Island. Timber of suitable size war vasily obtained, and !abour was cheap. He said barrel factories would spring up, in every fishing port, and the whole trade of the Culony would be greatly augmented if proper encouragement were given to the working classes in connexion with this, the most important branch of Island industry. The idea that armed steamers could drive off and prevent “ Yankee vessels ” front getting thei: fares, was a fallacy. Men of-war would doubt- iess Awney and at times interfere with the catch of American vessels, but that would not vers seriously obstruct them, us the Codfishery was vrosecuted entirely beyond the three mile limit and nearly one balf the mackerel were caught in American waters, and of the poruon taken in tiese waters a large per cenlage was caugh outside the marine league, The extent and value of our Fisheries, which la. waste for want of enterprise, were then des canted upon by Mr. Hall, who coneiuded hi- adwirable and important addreas by alluding our favourable position tor prosecuting not aly the Cod, Hake, and Mackerel Fisheries, but ale. the Whale and Seal Fisheries. Mr. Hall's address was followed by a very in teresting debate, which was kept up till the bow of adjournment, when it was unanimously resolved to resume the subject at the next meeting of the Society. Hons. E. Palmer, G. Coles, G. Beer. and B. Davies, D. Laird and A. MeNeall, Esqre took part in the debate, all of whom, thengh dit tering On miner points, concurred in the necessity of encouraging and tustering the fishing interests of the Isiand. _— 15TH REGT.

For some time after the Detroit © adjourned, the finterest, which that great gather ing of the representatives of the comme reigh classes in all the Northern States and British Pry. vinces created in the fate of the Reciprocity ‘Treaty, naturally declined. A vast deal of vajy. able information wae elicited by the debates jg that Convention, and a great deal of ig and prejudice was dissipated. Brought lace ty face for the fitst time in three-fourihe of @ century, the leading wea of North America inspired each other with mutual respect—diecnased their com. mercial relations and interests with coummendabig candour and moderation—and decided, with sin- gular unanimity and with a full kuew thet national obligations were to be res . that, upon some basis of acknowledged tairness, their commercial relations, on the expiration of the ex- which bad ‘Within ten years tuald be aan o> eg tear pavwual guarantees tor us iudefimte expansion.

Treaties, thie was a case in which the wiehes of its members could not be safely disregarded. The Executive Government of the United States did all that it could reasonably be expected to ds, under the ec:reumstances. Weighted with an en- ormous debt, which compelled it to collect a vast revenue by a complicated and onerous system of taxation hastily coustructed auudet the pertarba- tions of a great civil war, its first duty was to ascertayn if the required income could not be se- cured, and some relief be given to the industry of the country by a more scientific eyetem of tax- ation, Its next duty was to ascertuin to what extent, if any, the Keeiprocity Treaty —assuming its value had not been over estimated at the De- troit Couvention—should be modified in view of the changed circumstances of this country, and perbaps also of any legislation or fiseal ar ments of the Provinees in violation of the spirit of the Treaty, or that were not cobltemplated by the negotiatore in 1654. These duties naturally devolved upon the Treasury Department; aud they have been die charged by Mr. McCulloch with singular tagt diseretion. Mr. E.H Derby, of Boston, a man very familiar with the course of be- tween this country and the Provinces, was “ pe quested ” by the Secretary of the Treasury to te. port upow the Treaty: and the general eu of taxation and revenue was refered to three com missioners, Mr. David A.

For the present, we veed only say that the Revenus Commissioners selected by Mr. MeCailech have discharged their high duties, eo far as trade with the Provinces is coueerned, im a tair and candid spirit, yieldiug to no petty feeling of irritation, and have discussed the great interests of the country in a style and with a fuluess of informa. tion that does credit to the Department under which they served. . The British Americans, on their part, follow- ing up the opimons expressed at Detroit, ap- pointed a Delegation te convey to the British Minister at Washington their willingness to re- uew the Treaty, or to accept anetber, with enech ind-fications as might meet the altered condition of cuings in this country and develop trade on fair terms of reciprocal advantage. “This taission was entrusted to the Finanee Minister of Canada and ty the Postuaster General, with whow were as- sociated the Atterneys: General of Nova Seotis and New Bronewick—New toundiand and Prince Edward Island wot being represented These gentlemen remained about three weeks in Wash- ington.

The Delegates were informed that no Treaty could be uegociated, but that the subject might be disposed of by reciprocal legislation.

We be lieve we are right, however, when we assert that almost everything coming from the Provinces —Wheat, Flour, Cattle, Wool, Lumber, Coal, Fish—were to be taxed in the United States, and that, in return for the free admission into the Proviuces of the great staples of this country and of the cession of the inshore fisheries around 5,000 miles of cuast, the Committee generously offered to adunt, duty free, into the United States, Fire wood, Gypsum Unground.

Now seeing that Gypsum, the guane of the South, was never so imperatively required as now to renovate the Southero plautations—that the tactoties and machine shops of this country can. vot de without Nova Scotian grindstenes—and that the rags imported would go back in the form of paper, which all the maritime Provinces take trom New England and New York, these were Haguaniinous Concessions !
