MAJESTY'S GUNBOAT BRITOMART, 



At Halifax, June 18, 1870. 



Mr. lU-st, tlie fishing warden at Beaver Harbor, New Brunswick, 

 informed me that he often saw twenty or thirty American vessels fish- 

 ing; but he has no boat at his disposal or any means of preventing it, 

 though he has occasionally been able to seize their nets when set very 

 close to shore.

SIB : I perceive it is stated in one of the morning papers of this city 

 that an order has been transmitted from the Canadian authorities pro- 

 hibiting American fishing-vessels from obtaining any supplies in the 

 ports of the British North American Provinces. 



If any such order has been received by your excellency, will you be 

 kind enough to furnish me with a copy thereof? 



I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, 



M. M. JACKSON, 



United States Consul. 

 II is Excellency Vice- Admiral

SIR: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of 

 yarterday's date, and to inform you in reply that I have-not seen the 

 statement in the morning papers alluded to; and as such order would 

 probably have been addressed by the Dominion Government to its own 

 Officers I can only suggest that an application should be made to the Do- 

 in i ii mil Government for the information required. 

 I have, &c.,
