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.
