(From the suzette de France, dated Sunday, March 23. " EGINA, FEE. 18. " To THE 3110111LIZS OF TliE LEGISLATIVE BODY. " On board the Trident, Jan. 7, 1826. " GENTLRIIEN—I have expressed to the Deputa tion which you have sent me, the orders which I have received from my Government. " They are to require the payment ef all the goods (except contraband of war) which have been con fiscated by the sentence of the Tribunal on board the French ships the Pere Cieri, the Tali.onan, the Alexandre, and others, confiscations which have taken place after the warnings which have been con tinually given to your Government. It will be for your Government to make this in demnity fall upon the captors, who have the advan tage, and who are almost all of them of the island of Spezzia. shall provisionally suspend the execution of the measures which I had prescribed to M. le Blanc till the arrival of the President of Greece, but you must deliver to that Captain a bond for the sum required, to be paid after the arrival of the Presi dent, by the persons bound to do so, and in the manner and at the time which shall be fixed. The orders of my Government are further (after the lapse of fifteen days from the date of the present declaration) to cause to be seized, and to be sent to Toulon, every armed vessel met with at sea under the Greek flag, with the exception of those which shall belong to the Government, and which shall act according to its instructions, for the defence of the islands and the Morea; these latter will also be seized. if they are found to have plundered, or even to have searched a ship under his Majesty's flag. An Order of Council of his Britannic Majesty has been issued on the same subject. As for the little schooners or mistics which navi gate the interior of the Archipelago, I again warn you, orders are given to destroy all those, conform ably to:the proclamation of the Greek Admiral-in- Chief, which shall be found with arms and a crew beyond the burden of the ship. The Greek Government has written to me, after a complaint from the island of Spezzia, respect ing the little schooner the Mars, carrying four guns. This schooner was sunk, because it was met with without regular papers; because it had a quantity of muskets, pistols, and sabres ; and because there were found on board loaves of sugar and other goods, which evidently came from the plunder of some vessels; but to prove to you that we only wish to destroy piracy, and oblige vesaek it►egally armed to rece►ve orders from their own Govern ment, I order those men who have been arrested to be delivered up to the Deputation. It is necessary that every Greek mariner should learn by an example, since the warnings given for these six years past are useless, that they cannot embark at their pleasure and without risk, on board vessels illegally equipped. I have the honour, &c. Vice-Admiral DE RIGN Y. (From the Journal des Debats of Sattnday4) PARIS, MARCH 22.—1 t would not nolv The easy to draw England and France into a iiveles. , i war. If they enter into it § it ought to be in order to termi nate it. We are far from %visiting to subject the po licy of France to that of England, or the policy of England to that of France. What is the question now agitated with regard to the two Powers? The execution of the Treaty of July. What was the object of this Treaty, both at Paris and Lon don ? To free oppressed Greece, to stop the effusion of Christian blood in the Morea—to insure the naVi gation of the Archipelago—Who rejected the Treaty ? Turkey.--Who accepted it ? G reece.--- Whose duty is it to obtain its fulfilment ? The three Powers which signed it. Since the Porte was placed in a dilemma, two chances must have been foreseen ; that of its refusal, and that of its accept ance. Unless it is said that the threats were made without any intention of putting them into effect, it must be allowed that the fovasioti of the Russians to induce the submission demanded ought to he re garded a 7 a possible event. Now, since to the com mon injuries certain private ones have been joined since, after an insult to all, a private outrage has been committed on one of the three Powers, does it follow that the march of its armies has freed Allies from the sacred engagements of obtaining by farce that which could not be ga4ted coticitiation ? Let us acknowledge frankly we have been the dupes or the Divan. But because Russia, a closer neighbour of the Divan, has the first ceased to be so, let us not conclude that we ought to remain longer the dupe of Turkey, and remain so for the purposes of Russia itself. The object of this Treaty is not at tained. It ought to be. Greece, plundered and depopn - - lated by men—Musstdnrltt— , -wNi!d fof ever disgrace the policy of the Christian Cabinets. They would only have increa!td the rage of their executioners, and deuried the number of their victims. Let us prove that we can finish what we have undertaken : our words will be the better listened to, and Greece will be free. It will then be understood why we should one day say to Russia or Austria, " You shall go no further." (F7arn the 6urrier Francais of Saturday.) PARIS, MARCH 22.—SHALL WE QUIT SPAIN The evacuation of Spain was decided, and the ar rangements formed with the Spanish Government. Orders were given for leaving Spaht, aiAl transports sent for the ret,urri 'or the troops by sea. But sud denly`:,env consultations took place. Either a French expedition to the Morea is intended from the coasts of the Peninsula, or else it is wished to await the Fe suit of the return of Pon Mitite!; but it is certain, that the evaealatin of 'Spain has been deferred. Three wf!eks have elapsed since the departure of the mes senger charged with carrying the grounds of the new determination of our Cabinet : and if we are not misinformed, the proposition has !Act ben !Ac cepted. Spain hasensweredi nolt. with contempt as under the Itte Ministry, but with a flat refusal : and letter was written by Ferdinand to Charles X. re questing the latter Monarch no longer to defer the moment when the Peninsula shall be free from all foreign occupation. No answer, it appears, has been sent to this letter, Yesterday the wife of a shipmaster of this town was safely delivered of three sons, who are alive, and with the mother doing wen.—Dundee Advertiser.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. - HOUSE OF LORDS, MAncit 24. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the 'Woolsack at four o'clock, and shortly after their Lordships adjourned during pleasure. The House resumed at five o'clock. The Earl of ROSEBERRY presented a petition from the Corporation of Dyers and Bonnet-makers of Edinburgh, against the Corporation and Test Acts. The Bishop of EXETER presented petitions from the Archdeacon and Clergy of the Diocese of Gloucester against the unconditional repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts, and also against any further concessions to the Roman Ca tholics. The petitions, at the request of the Reverend Prelate, were read by the Clerk. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER presented a petition from the Archdeacon and Clergy of the diocese of Glou cester, against the unconditional repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts ; and also a petition from the Clergy of the rural Deanery of the Forest, in Gloucestershire, against any further concession to the Romas Catholics. The Reverend Prelate presented a petition from the Arch deacon and Clergy of the Diocese of Gloucester, praying that the Unitarian Marriage pill, which was before the House in the last Session of Parliament, might not pass inn a law. Ar.xxANDER, GRANT and others from the Commons, brought up the Bill for allowing the use of tire on board steam-vesseLs iu the harbours and canals in Ireland. Private Bills were brought up by Sir John Ashley, Sir Wiiliaet Heathcote, anal Mr. Warburton. Lord SKELMERSDALE presented a petition from a pariah in the North Riding of the county of York, against anv further concession to the Roman Catholics, The Earl of ROSSLYN preeented a petition from the Corporation of Goldsmiths of Edinburgh, against the Cor poration and Test Acts. The Noble Lord presPnted similar petitions from the Corporations of Hammermen an 1 Cordwainers of the same city. Lord DACRE presented peiitions from Buntingford. Kingswarden, and several other places in Hertfotdchire i against all civil disqualifications on account of religious opinions. Lord CAWDOR presented petition: , from several Con gregations of Protestant Dissenters at Sainthill, and other places in Devonshire, praying for the repeal of the Corpo ration and Test Act.. Lord CAWDOR took this opportunity of asking a question of the Noble 1..5rd on the WoeNadi, respecting the Message sent from the other House, that a Commies:inn might issue for an inquiry into the state of the law in the superior courts; and the question he had to ask, was, whether it was the intention of Goverment that the great Sessions of Wales should form part of that inquiry. ;The LORD CHANCELLOR, in answer to the question put, begged to remind the noble Lord that the subject was one of great difficulty, and which had been repeatedly under the consideration of former Governments. But he could not undertake at this moment, as the state of the inquiry to which big attention was directed did not enable him, to state whether or not the greal Szasions of Wales would form part of the inquiry into the state of the law connected with the superior Courts in England, and with those measures which the Government On this subject might think proper to propose for adoption. The Earl of CAWDOR, under these circumstances, thought it was only fair in him to give notice that, if the great Sessions of Wales were not included in the Commis sion, he should soon after Easter bring forward a motion en the subject. Lord DARNLEY, seeing a Noble Baron (Baron Wal lace) wished to aak of him whether Government had any intention to project improveinents or alteration in the Irish Post Office Department. Lord WALLACE could state for the information of the Noble Lord, that it was not the intention of the Commis. sioners to make any separate report as to the state of the Tog Office in Ireland ; but he trusted, before long, they wcuid be able to lay a report, relative to the Post Office generally, on their Lordships' table, in which all that re lated to the Post Office of Ireland would be embodied. The subject had not been overlooked ; but before the in quiry into the Post Office could be completed, the Commi ,, sioners had been obliged to take up another subject, which had occupied more time than they had expected. He hoped that in a few xeeks a Report would be laid on the table of Parliament. It would be inconvenient for them to state what would be recommended by that report, but no delay would ensue is laying the report before their Lord ships. The Earl of DARNLEY thanked the Noble Baron for the candid manner in which ht had replied to his question. He hoped that the Pest Oihe,e in the two kingdoms nrould be consolidated, and that the Post Office in Ireland would be made to conform to the Post Office here—not the Post Office here be made to conform to the Post Office in Ire land. Lord WALLACE had no objection to state that the in corporation of the two Post-offices would be recommended by the Report. The Annual Duties' Dill, end the .Annual Ndemnity tills *eta through a Committee. Several Private bilk went through one stage. Mr. ROBINSON presented at the bar an Account of the Receipt and Expence on the road from Shrewsbury to I lulyhearl. Mr. IRVING presented a Return of the Trade and Navi gation of the United Kingdom, pursuant to Act of Parlia ment,—Adlourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCh Mr. PLANTA moved for a new writ for the return of a Member to serve in Parliament for the borough of Dum fries, in the room of Sir W. J. ?lope, who has accepted the office of Receiver General of Greenwich Hospital. Alderman WOOD moved the second reading of the Marvlebone Vestry Bill, Which was agreed to, and ordered to be 'committed. 1101li0i3Si?; presented a pettier! ft.= J. person named Bradford,. relative to the Surrey Coal Meters Bill. Mr. HUME said that he knew the petitioner was well acquainted with the subject, and be should endeavour that. he should have the opportauity of being heard before the Committee. Lord tBRIFICM.Y r . pteentt , d a petition from the merchants and inhabitants of Dartmouth, against the Dartmouth Harbour Bill. ( This Bill, his Lordship contended, was the grossest job that ever he had heard of even in anF Corporation. By home of the Clauses they arrogated to themselves the power of appointing such of ficers they might think necessary, and apportioning to them such salaries as they might think fit. The Corpora tion ought to consist of twelve isdividuals, but, they did not at present exceed ten or eleven, and they it was who were pressing forward this Bill, which he was instructed to sa!,",, was of so ;ntoleralle a nature that it would go far to uestroy the trade of the town altogether. The pet!. tioners were ready to lay down the mooring which might be necessary, and to defray the expenses by subscrip tion, without laying any burthen by way of taxation on the public. He now asked the House if, in the face of this declaration, they could proceed to legislate upon as gratis a job as o'sr came before them. The petition wee then brought up, and on the motion that it be . printt:ch Ski. YORKE said, that as hi* Hon. Friend had thought fit to address the House on the presentment of this petition, he should himself also address to them a few words. This petition, he contended, fully proved the necessity of putting a stop to the petty legislation which was going forward. If it had nut been for the exertions of the Noble Lord, a new and heavy tax would have been laid upon the n avigation of the country. He would not dispute but that difficulties might exist in entering the harbour, but if so, it was extraordinary that we should have lived until the year 1828 without - having been enabled to find them out. The merchants, it appeared, offered to do this at one-third of the cost, while the Corporation seek to impose a tax of fid. per ton upon the shipping, the result of which would most probably be that no ship would conic into this very snug harbour at all, and the interests of the town would be rained. Independent of this they seek to extend their limits to the river, so that all ships coming even there would he saddled with this tax, which would he certain to lead to the desertion of the harbour. A MEMBER frem under the gallery said that the Corpo ration was altogether a very close one, and ought therefore to be closely watched in their proceedings. The Bill im• poses a tax on the inhabitants to effect the proposed funds, and it vested the management of these funds in this close Corporation, over which the inhabitants could have no con troul. He thought the shipowners were only reasonable in Wong to have a share in deciding as to the appropria- PRICE 7D. ~~ +~_ Church, but that could net be expected to be profitable until the population of the country should have increased. Mr. HUME moved that the petition be referred to thu Finance Committee. Mr. W. HORTON thought referring the petition to the Finance Committee would - confer upon it more importance on it than it deserved, and he thought it would be tune enough to refer it to that Committee, if the Coto-. mittee should think proper to call for it. Mr. HUME withdrew his motion, and the petition was ordered to be printed. WINE ROOMS. Mr. BERNAL wished to lay before the House a peti tion from a respectable wine-merchant of the name of James Hillary, who had opened wine-rooms or wine-shades, called the Portugal Hotel, in Fleet-street. This indivi dual had put himself to considerable expence in fitting opt his rooms, which were most respectably conducted. In formations had been laid against him before the Commis sioners of the Excise, at. the instance (as we understood the Hon. Member to sag) of the Alderman of his Weide under 6 Geo. 4, cap. fil, hut they had refused to inter fere, as they did not wish to take any course that would diminish the revenue. The sitting Alderman at Guildhall had also rejected the complaint, but the matter was not dropped, as some common ieformers bad , disco vered that Mr. Hillary was liable to a penalty under the old Police Act, 33 Geo. 3, cap. 113, and the Magis trate found himself compelled to convict in the penalty of 20/., which, however, teas mitigated to 10/. .3.lany wine tr:omyreesrtah the y of d been opened in different parts of the town, and a number o f i n dividual s w e re therefore inter e st e d in the question ; an d th e pra y er o f th e p e titi oner wa s, th a t a clause might b e introduced into the Licensing Bill new Hon o se x , fu promoted roin ( o i te r, ed E bt; te t o b u e ri Hun. M e e x u e dhe mp r for the University t wine rooms from the operation of the old Police Act, which had been revived against them. The subject was well worthy the attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He begged to ask the Hon. Mettsher whether he meant fittther to postpone the second rea;,,line of his Lie,en sing Bill? The CHATICELLOR vi the EX/It.,VUER. professed himself unable to girt an opinion, as he had' only very im perfectly heard ths Hon. Gentleman.—(Th e noise prevail ing in the House during Mr. Bereal's statemetet was veil great.) Mr, ESTCOURT had intended that his Dill sin-held pass pro fermi through the second reading and the Corn-- mittee, b ✓ ut it had been thought best that the Bill, with the blanks filled up, should first be reprinted. The subject waa very interesting, as nearly ail the hotel keepers at the west end of the town were liable to the same informations that had keen laid against Mr. Ililiary. There were two oh jections to inserting a clause in the Licensing Bill—first, that it would include a special section in a general law ; and secondly, that if a speedy remedy was wanted, it might be some months before the Licensing Bill passed. The only method was, to pass a particular Bill with rapidity through the House, in order to indemnify or protect the parties who suffered under the old Police Act. The petition was brought up and ley& Sir G. PHILLIPS asked, whether the Hon. Mea , ber (Mr. Estconrt) meant to introduce a clause rendering it imperative upon Magistrates refusing a licence to state their reasons? Mr. ESTCOURT answered, that when the Bill was reprinted, the Hon. Baronet would be able to ascertain its contents. Mr. Alderman WOOD observed, that wine was retailed in these rooms until one, two, and three o'clocli in the morning, while litensed houses were obliged to shut up much earlier in the City. He had no doubt that a licence would be necessary to all when the Hon. Member'B Bill passed. Mr. BERNAL called upon the Hon. Alderman oppo • site to bear testimony to the fact, that uo complaint had been made against Mr. Hillary's wine rooms. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON had tie doubt that Me. Hillary and others in the City of London kept very respect able houses; but out of the City of London there were many low wine houses which required the supervision of Magistrates. As to Mr. Hillary, he bad nothing to say to his prejudice, and lie wished he was let off of the penalties , —The petition was laid en the table. STAMP DUTIES. Sir J. WROTTESLEY gave notice, that en the 6th May, he would move for a Copy of a Memorial presented to the Treasury, for removing the Stamp Duty on Inland Bills of Exchange, and for a Copy of the Case, and of the opinion of the Attcrney and Solicitor-General there tiptoe, POLLS AT ELECTIONS. Mr. ROBINSON presented a petition from the Mayor,. Aldermen, and Inhabitants of Worcester. to the number of between 800 and 901 J, against the Bill fur an'lmprreeement in the Method of taking Polls at Elections for Citiae Awl Boroughs. After few words from Colonel DAYIES, the petition Iva, brought up and read ; on the question that it lie upon the table, Mr. ROBINSON justified the course he had taken, and denied that be had been instigated to change his opi nions by his constituents. He had sent down his Hon. Colleague's Bill to the Mayor of Worcester, and the result was the petition now brought up. He admitted that he had seconded ttie motion fur a Committee to inquire, but he did not think himself bound thereby to support any crude measure that might be the result of its investigation. Colonel DAVIES had nut said that the Hun. Gentle man had been instigated by his constituents. The petition was then laid upon the table. , Mr. K. DOUGLAS presented a petitiou from Duos. fries, for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. Sir IL WILSON gave notice, that toonorrow week lea would more for a Return of the official value of Exports to the different States of South America during the last five year s. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN gave notice, that on Thursday next. lie would move fur an account of the Land in Upper Canada granted by Government to the Canade. Company, specifying the terms and conditions of such grant, the sums of money paid in conformity thereto, cud the number and description of persons sent to Canada by the said Company, specifying the times they were sent, arid the quantity of land appropriated to them. tion of the money, and also in asking for power to pay off the sums, so as to abolish the toll as speedily as pos sible. He hoped the House would give their utmost at tention to this Bill before they suffered it to pass into a law. Sir HUTTON COOPER said, that he was not in the House when the Noble Lord commenced speaking upon the petition, but he did come in time enough to hear him cha racterise the Bill as a gross job. He could not, as Member for the Borough, suffer such a stigma to be attached to the Bill, and he now begged to say, that he hiinself belonged only to two Corporations, those of Dartmouth and of Bath, and in neither of them was there any thing that could be construed into jobbing. How could it he said that there was to be no control when the accounts were to be always open. Upon the whole, e more just or equitable Bill never came before the House.. After a few words from Lord EMLINGTOK, the petition was referred to the Committee on the Bill. Mr. TOMLINE presented a petition from the Watermen of Horseferry Stairs, praying that the Bill fir erecting a Bridge over the Thames at Lambeth, might not pass into a law. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the seven Corpo rate Trades of Aberdeen, praying that certain claneee in the Aberdeen Harbour Bill might not pass into a law. The Magistrates were pressing forward those clauses to continue to themselves the power which had originally been given to them, and which they had neglected to exercise for the object to carry into effect which in whe given to them. —The petition u•as ordered to be referred to the Com mittee. Mr. CROMPTON presented several petitions in favour of the Tees Navigation Bill. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the Inhabitants of Aberdeen against the Aberdeen Harbour Bill, and pray ing to be heard at the bar by Counsel against the Bill. Sir R. INGLIS presented a petition from a parish in the county of Sussex, against the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. Mr. Alderman WOOD moved for an account of the Consumption of British Spirits in England, Scotland, and Ireland, during the last three yearn. Mr. FEROUSSON presented a petition from a Con gregation in the Canongate of Edinburgh, praying for the Repeal of the Test end Corporation Acts. Mr. PENDARVES presented a petition from the in habitants of Redruth, praying that the franchise of Penryn might be extended to the neighbouring hundred. The Non. Member said, that as numerous as the boroughs were in Cornwall, there were only six honest men representing then county. Sir RONALD FERGUSSON presents I a petition from the Maltaters of tittudeen fer the repeal of the Malt Act. Mr. W. DUNDAS presented a petition from the Fire Insurance Companies of Scotland. for the repeal of the duties on Fire Insurance. Mr. NEWMAN presented a petition from the Arch deaconry of Exeter, against the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts. The Hon. Meuil)er also presented a petition from the Clergy of Ezeteri against any further concessions to tin' Roman Catholics. Mr. BIRCH presented a petition from the Maltetere of Nottingham against the Malt Act. ANATOMICAL DISSECTION. Mr. DUGDALE presented a petition from the Surgeon- , of Birmingham, complaining of the inconvenience and in jury to science arising from the want of bodies for die section. Sir R. FERGUSSON said, the subject of the petition was one of vital importance, and seriously deserving the attention of the House. Sir iCiSEPH lORKE said he was of opinion that there should be a law declaratory et" a man's right to make over his own body in articule laugh.)—He did not know how the law was on this subject; hut he thought, if a man when living had tilt to make over his own body for his own benefit, or for the benefit of hi heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, after his death, that much good would be effected. Paupers and persons in humble condition would feel that their lives would saved by abstaining from making over their bodies, and ecienee would be benefitted, inasmuch as persons who died from disease would fall into the hands of the surgeons, and their bodies were often enure useful to the faculty than the bodies of healthful subjects. Ile had no doubt that if a man could legally pass property of this kind ; there would be plenty of subjects without ransacking tiie church-yards. Mr. WARBURTON said, that shortly after the Holidays, be would give notice of a motion for a Com mittee to inquire into the subject of Anatomical Dissection. Mr. 11. THOMPSON was glad this subject was likely to be brought regularly before . the House. In France bodies might be had fur dissection for I O francs a piece, as many as you pleased. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the inhabitants td Arbroath in Scotland, praying for a Repeal of the Teet and Corporation Acts. He begged the particular atten tion of the House to one passage in the petition, in which the petitioners state, that they consider every subject of this Realm ought t• be eligible to every Civil and Mili tary employment, without reference to their religion, tenets. He was happy to observe the progress of liberal feeling among the people of Scotland upon religious subjects. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the occupiers of land in Hereford, praying for an inquiry into the state u: the Game Laws. EAST RETFORD.
