regulations, and are taking matters in their own hands, much to the annoyance of the Newfoundland people, who claim that the French fishermen are straining eyery point of the law, and a little more too; not only violating the three-mile limit but refusing to allow the Newfoundland boat fishermen to set their nets inside the three mile limit on the north shore, which the latter claim they are allowed that px ivilege by treaty. It is said they are erecting iish drying houses on the shore. On the arrival of the two British war- ships-Alert and Buzzard-at St George’s Bay, several weeks ago,(the first time this season) this was found to be the state of affairs, and in consequence, the Psyche, cruiser, which is also on this station, and is now on her way to ,Bermuda from her West Indies cruise, will from what we can lgxru, take theplzice of the Alert, -as- she is a more modern warship in point of armament. _ __

On making inquiries at the Dockyard as

to the proposed change,we learn nothing could be said concerning the fishery’ trou- ble except that the Alert was to berelieved by the Psyche,the Alert arriving here in a few days from Newfoundland;the Psyche in a like time,probably when the Crescent arrives here next Thursday.The Alert will

remain in Halifax till the arrival of the fisherv fleet in the fall.

The Charybdis, the commodore ship of the Newfoundland fleet, is still here, but t is expected that she will be despatched to the scene of trouble as soon as she is coalerl and her stores on board. The French warship Troude, which looks after the in- terests (with several other ships) of the Frenclr fishermen in the Newfoundland fisheries, and washers during the best portion of last week, arrived at St. Pierre Monday, but only remained therea few hours, proceeding direct to the fishery grounds.
