Froni the earlieft times of the hillory of popu lation in Europe or America, the (Almon% enter ing the mouths °film rivers, for the periodical enjoyment of the frefit water, and the depoliting of their fpawn, have prefented, in .the northern parts, one of the richeit and moll cafily acceflihle refources for animal food to the inhabitants. In Scotland, the Salmon Filhery is coeval in its corn-. mencement with that age of barbarifm which knew not the ufe of domefticated land animals, but fubrifled principally by the chace, and in it found no prey, rave hogs, goats and deer. The inhabitants near the mouths of the rivers then contrived expedients for taking the falmons, which were rude in proportion to the rudenefs of the age; and which °but - need Cue pallige of the Mlles up the rivers, at a time then the people who lived in the interior country w.-re nut lufficiently aware of the lofs ss iliCh thus fuffered.

The cletp,e, leysi!ar a.td Secular, ac-;'tired pail* firms or. most or, t!le riv•is s:bere falmons were taken ia abundance ; wailed themfelves, with the greareft diligence, of t!vt benefits of the filhery ; and airerted exclufi ; igllts to the fifhing; at thole mouths of riven which were within their potref , films.

Henan, when the curiorns of Scotland began to be cort:zted Anil tiefined by flavitory legislation, modes fitting were found to be in We at the mouths of almoil ali the rivers, which prevented ' falmons from alcencling towards the fources of the urc,on. The !Mermen of their Loud* ILEA lo long i and lo generally viajoyi-el the advantage of thole modes, that tke praftires could only be regulated, not abolished, in judice to thofe who polf:ife.l the interior lands. _ _ _ _ Hence the proprietor- of the lands at the mouths of the rivers were generally allowed to build acrofs thole rivers walls of liens, with what were called wooden beds ; the wall preventing the afccnt of the fills entirely, and the !leeks affording, at cer tain parts in the extent of the wall, the means of taking them. The laws of Davkl the Fifa of Scotland, who was contemporary with Henry the Firft of England, permit the ereCtion of there walls with hocks, which form cruives; define the heights of the walls and the liruiture of the hecks; and di. red that the herbs fOrming the cruives fhould, agreeably to the accullomedpratice of the clergy at their fifhings, Lit open to permit the free pall ee of falin , ~s up the livers, from Saturday alwa) till :sloilday.

Yelterday intelligence was received that his Royal Highnefs the Archduke ANTHONY was unaniumuflv proclaimed Archbilhop and Eletllor of the Ele,.toral Archhilhopric of CoLocal, by the El•!6toral Cathedral Chapter of Cologne, in a free Canonical Electoral Affembly: While your Excellency will not fail to make the friendly communication of this event to his PrulTian Majefty's Miniary. your Excellency will, at the (ante tint, in the molt. efficacious manner, repeat thole declarations which his Majefty the Emperor and King_eanfed to be made fubfequent to the eleetionof MuNSTII4 - _ ...- Your Excellency will allure his Prullian Ma jelly's ;binary, that with refpett to the Veto rate of Cologne, the elation of an Archduke may be confidered as indifferent, as the natural courfe of the accomplithing of the indemnities by, means of fecularixation, will not be altered from perfonal confideration, or fecondary views. Hence then the Court of his Pruilian Majelly may reit perfectly convinced, that, as the Imperial Court, from love and regard to the old Conffitution of Germany. according to its internal conviction, can never forbear infilling on the maintenance of the three fpiritual Electorates, the perfonal confidera tion of the Archduke having been elected to be Elector of COLOGN e, cannot have the funnel influ ence on this condue of the high Imperial Court. On this occafion your Excellency will alto dif clofc in confidence to Count Hat/corm, that al though the Cathedral Chapter of Munfter ear.' naly prefs that his Royal Highnefs the Archduke Am-I-nosy may repair to Munfter, and take upon himfelf the Government, yet his Imperial Ma jelly, as the Head of the Houfe, has not yet given to his Royal Highnefs permiffion for this purp4% but has rather intimated to the Cathedral Chap ter, to continue the government in the mean time, in all refpeds in the fame manner, as if the See was vacant.—Sedr Ireperka. His Royal Highnefs, beyond all dolibt, is in all refpeds entitled to the formal affuniption of the government, and might without contradiction put himfelf in polfeffion of this Ecclefiaffical Elec torate, which at this moment has as much right to its exittence as other Ecclefiallical )Electorates.
