the fishing privileges within her jurisdiction, which
were secured to us under the treaty of 1885. The
Iintrnaton was met by the American Commissioners,
by the following principle, which they broadly laid
down, in letter signed by their entire number
viz: that from the peculiar nature of the treaty o


1888. as treaty of independence, it had not been
abrogated by the war; that we still enjoyed the


fishing privileges, as part of our national lnde-
pendence, and that no grant from the British 60
vernment was necessary. In pursuance OF this
principle, the American Commissioners on the loth
of November 1914, sent to the British negoclators
the preiet of treaty containing no article OF stpu-
la,ion on the subject. On the 26th of November
the British negociaors returned the proc' with sese
raj alterations. one Of which that British sub
iects should have access to the river Mississippi and
the free navigation ol that river.


10 this the American commissioners could not
in itself object, because it was secured to the Bf
tisl, bv the treaty Of 1888. which the American
Commissioners cuntendeu was not abrosaed by the
war.


In order, however, not to give the British the ad


vantage of any new stipulation, IN the treaty, with


out corresponding advantage to America mrs


fioHatm proposed to admit into the new treaty the


right of the British to navigate the Mississippi, pro


uiscd it were Offset by renewed stipulation OF the
Fishing privileges, in favor of America.
For this proposal MIR. Gallan, (the mover) Mr.


Adams, and Mr. Bayard voted !; against 1t Mr. Clay


and Jonathan Russell. The majority being III favor


Of it, il was offered the British negocators, and by


them rejected on the ground, no doubt, that while


the fisheries were of immense consequence to US.


the right Of navigating the Mississippi was to them


merely nominal.


The treaty of Client was consequently negotiated


without any stipulation on the subject.


i In the cOny ent0n of 8l8 between the U. States
* Great Britain, which was negotiated by Mr. Rusl


under the instruction of MIR. Adams, the entire
fishing interest was satisfactorily adjusted Grea
! Britain stipulated to the enjsyment OF the essen


tal part OF the fishing liberties claimed, and tacitl,


renounced all pretensons to navigate the Missls
. sipp.


Such is the history Of the caumnious insinuaion


that Mr.. Adams proposed to open the navigation q
: the Mississippi to Great Britain.
