The latest arrivals from America bring no intelligence of any-
thing done in the matter of the fisheries. The question is debated as keenly in the United States as here, but as yet there have been no overt acts. Mr. Webster's colleagues, however, appear to be somewhat at variance with the Secretary of State on the fishery question. One New York journal announces that Mr. Webster had received a peremptory intimation from Washington, that he must either return to head-quarters at once or resign ; and this is conjecturally attributed to the President's disapproval of the Secre- tary's conduct in the matter. Another New York journal affirms that despatches had been received from Mr. Webster announcing that the fishery difficulties would be promptly and satisfactorily settled. A rumour has prevailed in the City, that Mr. Thomas Baring is about to visit the United States ; that he has tendered his services to our Ministers to aid in restoring a good understand- ing with the Government at Washington ; and that his offer has been accepted.
