Turtlier Correspondence respecting the Award of the 
 Halifax Fisheries Commission. 
 
 No. i; 
 
 Mr. Welsh to the Marquis of Salisbury, — {Received November 21.) 
 
 Legation of the United States, London, 
 My Lord, November 21, 1878. 
 
 I HAVE been instructed by the President of the United States to 
 tender to Her Majesty's Government the sum of 5,500,000 dollars in gold 
 coin, this being the sum named by the two concurring meml)ers of the 
 Fisheries Commission (lately sitting at Halifax under authority imparted 
 thereto by the Treaty of Washington), to be paid by the Government of 
 the United States to the Government of Her Hritannic Majesty. 
 
 T am also instructed by the President to say that such payment is 
 made upon the ground that the Government of the United States desires 
 to place the maintenance of good faith in Treaties, and the security and 
 value of arbitration between nations, above ail (jucstion in its relations 
 with Her Britannic Majesty's Government, as witli all other Governments. 
 
 Under this motive, the Government of the United States decides to 
 separate the question of withholding payment from the considerations 
 touching the obligation of this payment which have been presented to 
 Her Majesty's Government in correspondence, and which it reserves and 
 insists upon. 
 
 I am, besides, instructed by the President to say that the Government 
 of the United States deems it of the greatest importance to the common 
 and friendly interests of the two Governments, in all future treatment of 
 any questions relating to the North American Fisheries, that Her 
 Britannic Majesty's Government should be distinctly advised that the 
 Government of the United States cannot accept the result of the Halifax 
 Commission as furnishing any just measure of the value of a participation 
 by our citizens in the inshore fisheries of the British provinces ; and it 
 protests against the actual payment now made being considered by Her 
 Majesty's Government as, in any sense, an acquiescence in such measure, 
 or as warranting any inference to that effect. 
 
 I have, &c. 
 (Signed) JOHN WELSH. 
 
 No. 2. 
 
 The Marquis of Salisbury to Mr. Welsh. 
 
 Sir, Foreign Office, November 21, 1878. 
 
 1 HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of 
 to-day, and of the draft for 5,500,000 dollars in gold, which you have 
 delivered to me in payment of the Award pronounced in favour of 
 the Government of Her Britannic Majesty by the Halifax Fishery Cora- 
 mission on the 23rd November, 1877, in accordance with the provisions 
 of the XXHnd Article of the Treaty between Great Britain and the 
 United States of America, signed at Washington on the 8th May, 1871. 
 
 I am, &c. 
 (Signed) SALISBURY.
