The last accounts front Madrid, to the Bth of April, state, that the hsad•gnarters of the French army remain in that capital, as well as the military hospital. TheGardes-du-Corps, and the second battalion of Swiss, were* Toledo. The Hone Artillery, and the Val Regi ment of the Line, were in garrison at Valdcmoros and Cons posueloa. Rivatid de La RaMnicre was daily expected to supersede Cenral Bourittont, as Military Pro-Consul within the Pyrenees. The great offence of the latter consists in the unvarying opposition he has given to the Fanatics and their measures. Accounts from all the Spanish Provinces state that die Royalist Volunteers or Militia refuse to dis arm. To varnish over this open contempt of the wretched Ferdinand's authority, Don Jose Manuel Arkin., the Mi dieter of Po:ice, has published a statement in the Papers, which seeks to persuade those who arc weak enough to' believe it, that the resistance has proceeded from counter erders sent into the Provinces by the enemies of Govern ment. Circulars, the Pol•ce Minister states, have been sent to the Commandants of the Royalist corps, covering a pretended order from the King, which states it to be his desire that the Volunteers shall resist the onlers to disarm. Ii this circular (Arena goes on to say) the King is calum niated, as well as their Allies, the French, and the Com mandant of the Royalist Volunteers at Madrid, whose counterfeit signature is attached to the forged circular. This is the mode in which things at present are conducted in Spain. li:mrmont is superseded, because he has been moderate and prudent. The banditti, in arms throughout Spain, refuse to disband on the Royal summons, and their mutinous disobedience is varnished over by high and's rity. In fact, the Police Minister, and the other partisans of arbitrary power in Spain, do not wish the Royalist cut throats to disarm; these bands are the great supporters of despotism. The decree was extorted by Bourmont and French influence; and wherever the disbanding of the Mini; lute taken place, as at Logrono and elsewhere, it hat been done ty force, and by overawing these bands with large bodies of French troops, who have even acted against them. If web be now the present state of Spain, what will it be when Bounnont's influence is withdrawn ? Letters from Corfu, .of the ISth of March, give the Most satisfactory accounts of the Greek cause. Caron, the strongest fortress in the Pcloponessus, it is stater], has poaitively fallen into the hands of the Greeks, not by ca pitulation, but by tumult. The " Archimandrite" Zee bine, who returned from Russia at the close of the last year, 't is said, directed the assault. This distinguished ecclesiastic, zealous in the cause of his country's liberty, meived from a Greek merchant established in Russia a taans'dereble stun, which enabled him to enroll a corps of Volunteers, who have already rendered the most important services. 'the Greeks entered (7oron on the 18th of Fe b-uary. The Christians besieging Lepanto (so celebrated fTinn the Great victory formerly obtained in that Gulf by Dim John of Austria over the Infidel), aided by the skill and advice of Colonel Stanhope, had driven the Turks from all the outworks of the place, and hail established themselves within them. The besieged attempted to sortie, but were forced back with gnat loss. Several Bar bary corsairs, it is further stated, had been captured off Lepanto by the Greek flotilla. Accounts from the frontiers of Servia state, that the Pacha of Belgrade had received a cenimunication by a Tartar courier from the Pacha of %Viddin, whom he despatched immediately. to Constanti upple, stating that extraordinary movements had taken place in the Russian army encamped on the Danube. :several regiments, it was asserted, had put themselves in fell march, to reitifore, on the Pruth, the army of Beau rahis, commanded by the Russian General Sabanieff. It is added, that the latter, on receiving these reinforcements, for which he waited, immediately sent a summons to the Commander of the Ottoman forces in IVallachia and Mol l:one, aysignitig decisively a period for the evacuation of these provinces, and stating that no further delay would be conceited, even under the pretence of waiting orders from Constantinople. Ths Divan, apprised of this determine non, would be obliged to declare itself, and if the answer should not he favourable, the march it the troops of Saba- MAI' on the principalities was no longer doubtful. The Turkish troops aesernbled near Adrianople were, at the last accounts, under new orders to march, not on Thessaly but on the Danube. This order proceeded from the deepest apprehensions of Russia and the force then in Bessarabia. If a contest should at length take place, the Infidel w•ili be strangler! in the gripe of a stronger savage. The Turk cannot eland before the organised power and immense force of Russia. All our influence and that of Austria, however. will still be. exerted to 'procure the evacuation of the principalities, and arrest the hovering march of the Russian troops. If they enter Welierhia andlfraidavia, the Porte will never recover these desolated provinces again ; must :t would be for the interests of hu manity that the barbarous Infidel was expelled from them altogether. But we would wish to see them independent, protected by Austria anal Russia, but not the spoil of either.

The long-de-pending disputts be tween these Powers are far from being arranged, and the wily Russian is only waiting his hour to pounce on the Turkish provinces. A new Company, it appears, has been formed, under the name of the Russian South-West 'Company, for carrying on the navigation between the Black Sea and the Baltic, by means of the canals and the riven Dnieper and Nieman. This Company mean to im prove to the utmost the navigation on the rivers between the two seas. Russia is omitting nothing that can add to her resources and her strength. This ambitious Power already overshadows Europe ; her dangerous influence is everywhere felt, and will soon be incompatible with the liberty and peace of the other nations of the Continent, who, in their own defer.cc, must ann against her.

Yesterday, in the Chambers of Commere:: in several towns of the kingdoin, a beginning ass made to subscribe to the great Society Of Commerce. We learn that on that day there were subscribed thirty millions and a half at Amsterdam, and nine millions and a half at Rottertiam. Ilia Majesty has just bowed en Ordinance sciatic to the herring fishery on the mist of Scotland, to the following effect : Being informed that some Netherland fishcmtrn allow them selves to exercise the great or piekle•herring fishery among the banks and rocks of the cauit of Scotland. Considering that the catching of herrings (for pickling) in the above places, is one of the evil practices which have been considered from ancient times as injurious to the reputation of the herrings entight and cured by the fishermen of this kingdom. That for these reasons, the taking of herrings for pickling (pekelharing) among the banks and rocks of Scotland. is strictly fuebidden by article 35 of ti.e law of 12th of 31arch, Tat besides the Iloard for the great fishery is of opinion, that the salt herring fishery, for the interest of this brarch of the national industry, ought to Ile carried on at a considerable distance from the Scotch coast. That it is consequently necessary to fix this distance ins positive manner. . " On the report of our Minister for Public Instruction, the Na rk/tail Industry, and the Colonies, by the advice of the Council of State, we have resolved, Art. 1. No Netherlands fisherman shall be alliweal to entry en the trent or pickle herring fishery, at a less distance from the coast of Scotland than two leagues (20 leagues to a degree), nor on any pretence whatever (except in cases of urgent necessity, as provia:ed for by .Irt. 2:1 of the said law) even to mimed, within a smaller distance of the said coast, while engaged in the pickle herring fishery. 2. Tlais prohibition does not extend— (a) To the great fishery off Shitland, and the island of Fairhill. (b) To what is called the deep water pickle-herring fishery, car ried on in the autumn, more to the South, on the coast of England, on the banks off Yarmouth; and lastly, (c) To the Fresh limning Fishery. These fisheries may be carried on as hitherto has been the custom ; the fishermen are at the same time most strictly enjoined not to east the ofFal into the sea nearer to the coast than the places where the herrings are caught. All violation of this Ordinance shall be punished according to the law of 31arch 6, NIB. (liven at the Ilagre, the 4th Apra, 1P24, the 11th year of our mills.

Every concern of life, however trivial, in this age of legislation, must be determined by a petition to either House, or by an Act of Parliament : nothing can be settled in any other way. Among the innumerable host of peti tions which have crowded Octal& of the House of Commons 'this Session, embracing every passible subject, and the en tire of which, after a passing notic,i. have gone to their long repose—under the table, Vet to be heard of, or pro even thought of aglin, we cannot help noticing Mr. Battcrworth's iiic:re petition, signed Li a few cunsrien raulkrersr and tishmengers, against the selling , cneap matkarel ou Sinulays, presentM by him just before the !louse adjourned on Thursday night. The lion. t ;en tleman asserted, on the authority of several fishmongers, that mackarel might be kept as fresh for twenty-fear hours as any °Our fish. We all know the credit that can be at tacked to a bsinmmir's warranty; it is pretty much on a par with that of a horse jockey ; and we arc equally aware of the itilinite pains taken by dealers in turbot and salmon, by constant ablutions of salt water, to maintain its flesh no , s, and p, eserrr 'ill its flavour. The olfactory nerves of the ft-cps:titers of Billingsgate arc peculiarly nice; they can, in the ilog-days, warrant their fish, as we have often seen, from tin. labels on their stalls, " Good for an hour or two," according as salt and water, with artificial shade, or their c•dlars of ice, can help out itA purify. Ililliugs gate market, we also know, is a most chaste and classic scene. The vernacular idiom of its " nymphs" is of the most subdued and pious description. Who then can wonder that the horrid cry of mackerel on Sunditys should be most revolting to the ears of those accustomed to such purity, and tug.: them to seek the repeal of that clause in FOREIGN INTELLIGTXCE. the statute of the unchristian 'William, which author:ix:Nl. its.lf, which will C..: mine time to evaporate; I. u t ;Lis l the telling and eating Aro', fish on the Sabbath D a y ?

The fitting out of the Beet hardly otters a better _ the ilou.c to compel him not to do that which of his own accord he inight safely neglect to do." What a Downright, on all these picas occasions, Mr. flume is ! What " a inarplut" to all discussions of this doiciiption ! But why do not the conscientious fishmornri petition agsinst oranges or apples being sold on Sundays, or donkeys driven or hired ? Why do they not call on the Legislature to shut all public-houses and taverns against travellers and frequenters of every description, even after church hours ; and prevent mail-coaches, stages, or hackney-coaches, relling along the roads and pavements for impious gain, to the annoyance of their pious eves or cars. But these petitioners arc sensitive on nothing tL•at does not touch their pockets. If they did not deal in mackerel themselves, their street rivals, " die sabbath breakers," might cry it in hoarse aczents front " morn till dewy eve." I las Mr. Butterworth in other days ever crossed the straits from Dover, which he represents, to the opposite point of land mlled Calais, and from thence ventured to that Ba- hylon, Paris ? Perhaps he has, and entered i: bo on a Sunday, amid gaming, -houses, theatres, shops, street marclumds, mountebanks, and speculators—all in full acti vity. now mast he have blessed the God of his fathers :!sat he was not a denizen of such a land ! Really Mr. But terworth, for whose character and intentions we have a very sincere respect, ought to devote his time aud his attention to different subjects from these ; he might then be generally useful ; but lie cannot expect any assembly seriously to entertain such an appeal as that the playa fish mongers made through him against the sale of sabbath mackerel, on Thursday night. It would be an insult to the understamlings of the Members of that House to sup pose they could entertain it for a moment. this licence from selling it we their premises, it manifestly will net interft re with that internal consumption, which to the fe,riner is the great source of profit. By this mw system the restriction will be removed, which has hitherto pre vented the ale and table-beer brewers from ft.riiishing the it customers with beer of such a strength and quality as they would willingly pay for, if it could be had at a reasonable and fair price. Under the present system this cannot be. These brewers are charged 4 2i. duty on every barrel of table-beer, the price of which camels eighteen shillings. If it were brewed of a better quality titan could be sold at this price, rie ST KONG BEER DUTY of ten would he chargeable iilmn i 1; consequently no private family can at present be su-olied with an intermediate table-ker . /4er shillings better in quality, without its being twelve shillings I I higher in price! Under the new Hill this grievance is re moved ; a beer may now be brewed of any strength and at a price to suit all classes, while a ;mat and much-wanted opening is given to the freedom of trade. Too much praise cannot be given to the patient consideration which Mr. !toms sow has bestowed upon this subject, and to the ability and simnel judgment with which the scale of duties are adjusted. lie bud before burn a task of great la bour, and involving great responsibility ; and be has shewit what eliflicultie may be o :eremite by the persever ance of an enlightened mind, supported by a confidence in the justness of its own views, and the consciousness of public approbation. Wisnson, Aram I.6.—This being Good Friday, his' Majesty, attended by his household, heard divine service performed in the private chapel in the Castle. The Princess Augusta attended divine service at the Chapel Royal yesterday. Princess Augusta visited the Princess Sophia Matilda yesterday, at her house in Curzon-street, May-fair. Yesterday bring Good Friday, the Duchess of Kent attended divine service at the Royal German Chapel, and heard a sermon by the Rev. Dr. Kuper. The Earl of Liverpool's health is better since the Noble Earl's arrival at Bath ; a letter to that pleasing effect was received yesterday. The receipt o f . the melancholy tidings of the decease of the Duchess of Devonshire at Rome, who was sister-in law to the Earl of Liverpool by his late Countess, has caused the Noble Earl to issue carde, putting off his numetous party, invited fur the 29th inst., to celetirate his Majesty's Birth Day. Yesterday morning Mr. Secretary Peel left London, on a visit to Sir Robert Peel, in Staffordshire. The II:SOLUTION& which arc to form the foundation of the new Ileea Dery Act, and which contain the princi ples upon vAlioh the duties arc to he imposed, thoug,h ex tremely equitable and correct when fully understood, arc not easily intelligible in the complex manner in which they arc retorted. For the benefit of that wide-spread circle whose inferssts they euibrace, we shall endeavour to make them more explicit, as we think that the CRANCE I.• Loa or THE EXCHEQUER loses, at present, much of the credit that is due to him from the merit of his planiOwing to the complicated appearance which it assumes, which prevents it from being appreciated. The Resole:1.10 s, for the sake of reference, will be found at length in another part or our Paper. We shall here tel.'e them out of their stets/trey:Aar, and put them so before the nadir that they may be readily understood; in which form the 1141 will be found to stand simply thus:—ln lieu of the former duties, an excise duty of 24. y. per quarter is imposed upon MALT. Let the brewer produce his worts at what density he may, the quantity of malt consumed in every less quantity than two hatrels, will ba subject to an excise duty of 245. If he produces two barrels from the quarter of malt, the duty payable on earh barrel will be twelve shillings, which is equivalent to the duty on the quarter of malt which they contain; any . fractios of a barrel immediately above the number on which the specific duty is imposed, is included within such specific duty, that is, two banels and less than three, pay Its. ; three, and less than four, Ss.; and so en throughout the whole scale of duties, which is drawn up with great care, and with a skilfulness which they eat, alone estimate who are aware of the extreme difficulty which it involved, and the great benefit gained to the public by its accomplishment. Under this scale, there is j no temptation to commit fraud on the revenue, by mixing worts of different degrees of density, as each will pay in proportion to the yield of malt extracted. Every brewer will select two sorts of beet only, and under the proposed Bill he will be at liberty to brew from worts of any strength he pleases, since the rate of duty imposed on any number of barrels is in exact proportion to the duty per quarter on the grain malted; for instance— S;r Chas.

FRANICFORT ' APIITL 8. The last amounts from the Adriatic state, that Lord Stanhope, a superior officer in the service of the Greeks, who is directing the operations before Lepanto, has made his attacks with so mum af finity, that the Turks have been driven from all the out-works o f the principal fort, and that the Greeks have established themselves in them. A sortie of the Turkish garrison has been repulsed with great loss to the besieged. It is also said that several Barbary ships of war have been captured Lepanto by a division of the Cheek flotilla. Thus any one brewing sir barrels from the quarter of malt, pays the same duty, atfror shillings pee barrel, as if he brewed two barrels from the quarter, at the duty of tiasiee shillings. The whok A llay, it will be. seen, is la effect charged upon the MALT; the duty on the resit impos:d only as a preventive of the many fraudulent prac. tic% s l,y which the duty might be evaded, were the re venue left to the operation of the increased malt duty alone, l withont tithing the stre,,o4 the mols, and the molt .quete ?l the brewer; were these measures not adopted, fraudulent mollsterr would be as thick as hops. In truth, this precaution forms a leading feature in the good policy of the reptat, since the desidreatem has always hitherto • been to simplify the system, by laying the duty on the malt, and at the time to combine this system with the in- 1 terests of the brewer, and the security of the revenue ; thes:! ends arc attained by the plan proposed. The POI:TER 01:1 wens are enabled to pioduce a Letter and cheaper beverage to the public, under this new ayattm, in asnmeh as their present duty of ten A/tidings per barrel trill be reduced to eii 4 -ht shillings, this being the rate imposed on beer, of three barrels to the quarter. Not that this opulent body will take to tim mei:sure kindly ; the contrary ; they will turn their faces and their force against it—not against this reduction of duty ; that they deem admissible enough ; but there is one part of the pro- posed Bill, which, like their own porter, is not quite so pa latable as it might be made: we allude to the licence, which empowers any persons to brew beer for sale, and to retail it to any custemer, hot consuming it on the premises.

It appears from the following letter, dated Nuretnburg, that the negociation between Turkey and Russia is assuming a suspicious, if not an unfavourable aspect : NCREMIIOI6, Aram S. The Minister of War at St. Petencburgh has received from the Geaeral conmiaading in Bessarabia a very detailed report of ea actual situation of Moldavia and Wallachia, from which it ap pears that the Turks, tar from making preparutions for the evacuation of the two Principalities, has* lately increased their farces in them, by drawing troops to Jassy sad Budiarem, as eel as to the country, but in small detachments, is order not to excite the attention of the Russian corps statipned og the left bank of the Pruth.
