'flic "reaty is to be known as " Ti e treaty of Washington,' for the adjustment of the calms of injury ailec.'J by the United S'ates on a 'Count uf the escape ot Confu Icrate eru z.-rs from ljii;i-li peris and tho depredation- couimitte'l by those vessels dur-ii dur-ii g the hue rebellion in this country, i Tin) tribunal of arbitration is constant led to consist uf five arbi raters, one appointed by the United Sta'es; one t.y Great Britain, and tho other three each by a Ui'Stgnaled Sovereign State of Europe or America. The treaty establishes special rates of neuiral du y and obligation, in addition to the generally gen-erally received publ.c law, which rules, although not admitted by the British eomini-slquers to lp'vu been in force at the tune, now are; yet it is agreed that they shall govern the decisions of the tribunal of arbitration. This tribunal may either award damages in detail, or in gross, at its discretion; or it may refer this duty to a board of assessors sitting sit-ting in the United Siates.who also shall report from time to time, with the payment pay-ment to be made accordingly. The British government frankly expressed its reerei for the occurrence of the incidents in-cidents complained of by the United States. For the adjudication of all other claims of citizens of the United States agiinst Great Britain, or ot Great Britain against the United States durinz the same period that is, from the loth of April, ISO I , to the 9th of April, leoo an ordinary mixed commission com-mission is provided, to sit at Washington, Wash-ington, with an umpire to be nominated nomina-ted if necessary by a designated friendly power. This limitation of time is material, ma-terial, for it confines the reclamation against the Tinted States to incidents occurring during actual war. It is ac- e-. 'in named also with a declaration on; the British commissioners, to the ef-' leet that, excludiu claims on account ; of slave property, Great Britain does not re. cruize the claims of subjects for the seizure of c.'tton in ca-es where they took up their abode in the South, as they became subject to the contingencies contin-gencies of war. With regard to the fisheries, in addi-. tion to the liberty already secured to them by the treaty of IjIS, the fisher-' men of the U. S. shall have liberty to take sea fish on the sea coast and shores, and in the bays, hmbors and creeks of the provinces of Quebec, Xova Scotia and New Brunswick, and the colony of Prince Elward's I-land and the islands adjacent, without being restricted to any distauce from the shore, with permission to land upon such coasts, shores and i-lands. and also upon the Magdalen Isands, lor the purpose of drving ibeir nets ar.d curing their fish; sulj ct. of course, in 1 this respect to local rights of private property; and the s-uue liberty is grauied to British .-u'' jeets on the eastern east-ern sea coasts and shoies of the U. S-. north of the 3,'th parade! of latitude. This liberty is not to include on either side shell dsb. or the salmon and shad fisheries, or other fisheries in the rivers aud mouths of rivers. It is further agreed 'hat fish-oil and fi-h of all kinds, except fish oa inland lakes and their r.vers, and except fish pn served in oil. the produce of fisheries cf the U- S. or of the dominion of Canaia. or Piince Edward's Island, shall be admitted into each country respectively free from duty. The privi eges thus conceded to the L. S- are obviously most important. import-ant. It is a-serud by the British government, gov-ernment, bn: no; admitted by the U". S.. that ti e privile-re accorded to clti-zons clti-zons cf the U.S.. are of greater value than those accorded to subjects cf li-rcai Br.raia. and to prevent or avoid controversy on this po:nr, it is agreed that a coaimUsicn shall decide all such alleged exesess of privileges, and bow much ought to be paid by the United States.
