Boston, August 3d.—By the steamer "Admiral" we have St. John, N. B., papers to the second of August. Vice Admiral Seymour has purchased a brig and schooner, which have been manned and armed to protect the Colonial fisheries from encroachment of the French.
The schooner Union reported yesterday as seized, was taken in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, by the "Telegraph" tender to H. M. steamship Devastation.
The New "Brunswicker" thinks that when the people of America understand the matter better, they will have but little cause of complaint. It considers that the reported terms of the new reciprocity bill are too favorable to the Americans. The Courier again explicitly declares that there is no intention to enforce the headland to headland part of the fishing treaty, nor to demand reciprocal free trade as the price of arranging the question.
