FitENC - 11 PAPERS. PAnts, APRIL 14.----On Tuesday, before mass, Brown presented to the King, in public audi ence—l. The letters of the recal of M. Albert - Callatio, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America ; '2. The credentials in virtue of which he succeeds M. Albert Gallatin, with the same character of • envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary. He was introduced to the audience, and to the Princes and Princesses of the Royal Fa mily, by the Baron de Lathe, and M. de Vi- viers, King's Secretary. PISTERSBURGII, MAACK 25.—A. company has just been formed, under the auspices of the Em peror, - whose object is to unite the Black Sea to the Baltic, by means of canals from the Dnieper and Niemen. TRIESTE, MARCH 27.--,According to the most Tetent commercial news from the lonian Islands, the Egyptian squadron under the command of Ismael Gibraltar, has re-appeared in the Archi pelago, and has attacked some Greek vessels, one of which only has been taken. This event, which is given as certain, proves how unfounded is the report that the Pac h a of Egypt has de clared against the Porte. What also refutes the report is, that the .Pacha has sent new reinforce ments to the isle of Candia. Considerable bodies of troops have begun to march in - Macedonia, who are to move on Thessaly by Betoglia, under the Pacha of Widdin. They are stated (pro- bably exaggerated) at 30,006 men. We reCeive from another quarter the interesting news that the troops assembled near Adrianople are under mew orders to march, not to Thessaly, but on the Danube, which again proves the jealousy of the Porte towards Russia. It is asserted that the negociations of the 'Greeks and the Albanians are again broken off. FRANKFORT, APRIL B.—The la►t accounts from the Adriatic state that Lord Stanhope, a su perior officer in the service of the Greeks, who is directing the operations before Lepanto, has made his attacks with so much activity, that the Turks have been driven from all the out-works of the principal fort, and the Greeks have esta blished themselves in them. A sortie of the Turkiali garrison has been repulsed with great loss to the besieged. It is also said that several Barbary ships of war hare been captured off Lepanto by .a division of the Greek flotilla. RUSSIA...AND TURKEY. NURIMEERG, A pm r. s.—The Minister of War at St. Petersburgh has received, from the General commanding in Bessarabia, a ♦ery detailed re• port of the actual situation of Moldavia and Wal lachia, from which it appears that tin- Turks, far from making preparations for the evacuation of the two principalities, have lately iucrea•sed their forces in them, by withdrawing to Jassy and =Bucharest, as well as to the country, but in small detachments, in order not to excite the attention of the Russian corps stationed on the left bank of the Pratt'. The report in question reached St. Peters burgh at the same time as dispatches sent from Constantinople by M. Minziacky, w hich perfectly coincided with the opinion expressed by,Geueral Sttbanieff, cor►arnanding in Bessarabia, witlere spectio the intention of the Turks, to main tain possession of the principalities. .Count Nes selrode, Minister for - Foreign Affairs, having re ported this state of things to the Emperor, cant an extraordinary courier with fresh instructioss to, MiteLiacky, which are supposed to be deci sive ; at the same time he gave to M. Tatischeff,', •wlho was just setting off for Vienna, a note for the Court of Austria, which, we are assured, explains the measures which the Russian Cabi net will find it necessary to adopt in case the Porte should persist in still eluding the question of the evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia, which appears to be requieed this time in the most peremptory manner. The most recent letters from Constantinople -say, that the Porte has not yet taken any steps to put an end to the impediments which its agents daily throw in the way of European vessels, which intend to proceed from the Bosphorus to the Russian ports in the Black Sea, especially Odessa. The_ Iteis Effendi has paid no attention to the Notes which have been successively ad dressed to him on this subject, by Lord Strangford - and Baron Otte►ifels. The only concession which these two Ministers have obtained, is the recent conclusion of the Treaty of Commerce between the Porte and the King of Sardinia, and even now no Sardinian vessel would venture to an nounce its destination to a Russian port for fear of being detained. Preparations for war are continuing at -Con stantinople with as much activity as the state of the Imperial Exchequer will allow. The Go-. vernment is absolutely resolved to have an army of 100,000 men on foot by the month of May. They are also busy in provisioni►►g the fleet of the Captain Pacha. The most difficult part is to complete the crews of the ships of the line and frigates, and to compose them of experienced sailors capable of contending with the Greeks. It is generally considered as certain, that M. rte Minziacky has entirely failed in the object of his mission. 'BitUSNELS, APRIL 13.—The Journal of Ant werp states, that his Majesty's decree, establish ing a Society of Commerce in Belgium, has been ieceived with great satisfaction, and manifested itself by the subscription (in one day) of 10,000,000 of florins. It may be foreseen, adds the journal, that our city alone will furnish the primitive fund of the Society. This great measure, in favour of maritime commerce, manufactures, and agriculture, without being subject .to the controal or direction of the Government, has been duly' appreciated by, all our merchants, who see in it a eatre of activity aud a source of riches." THE GREEKS. HY DRA G IIARCH 2.—(Extract of a Private Letter.)—The moderation which time brings begins to shed in the Archiepelago its bene volent influence, so necessary to calm the agi tation and unquietness which accompany every revolution. The reclamations and disputes which, during the three last years, arose in some of the islands, have now given place to an enlightened obedience to the Central Govern ment. The Latins of the Cyclades who, not withstanding their small number, dared in some measures to oppose the rest of the nation, are now sensible of their error, and acknowledge all the advantages of a Christian revolution. The Sarniots, who opposed some of the acts of the Admiralty, being led away by one of their chiefs, distiugaished by several victories which he has gained, now submit to it with full confidence. — The authority of the Government is every where acknowledged, the taxes are regularly paid, though trade is at a stand in consequence of the war. Although, on the Continent, the character of the inhabitants partakes of that of the soil, even there order is making a sensible progress, particularly since the re-establishment of harmony in the Peloponesus. The most remarkable events which took place there during the winter, Were those of the island of Eubxa. General Odysseus led the di s posable troops aga i ns t Negropont, which he closely blockades. The indefatigable Diamantis has effected some land ings on the side of Mount Athos, and on the two other peninsulas near Macedonia, and he suc ceeded in spreading alarm and terror among the Turks of that province. The Paella of Salonica move d in consequence towards Cassandra, and that neigbourhood, with the troops destined for Thessaly. DUTCH 14ERRING FISHERY. ROTTERDAM, APRIL 12.---Ilis Majesty has just issued asi Ordinance relative to the Herring fishery on the coast of Scotland, to the following effec :— •" Being informed that some Netherland fishermen allow themselves to exercise the great or pickle-herring fishery among the banks and rocks on the coast of Scotland; " Considering that the catching of herrings (for pickling) in the ab-ve places is one of the evil practices which have been considered from ancient times as injurious to the reputation of the herrings caught and cured by the fishermen of this kingdom ; " That for these reasons, the taking of herrings for pickling (pekslharin4r) among the banks and rocks of Scotland is strictly forbidden by Article 34 of the Law of the 12th of March, 1813 . . " That, besides, the Board for the Great Fishery is opi nion, that the Salt-herring Fishery, for the interest of this branch of the national industry, ought to be carried on at a considerable distance from the Scotch coast ; " That it is consequently necessary to fix this distance in a positive manner ; " Seeing Article 7 of the above-mentioned Law of March 12, 1818, " On the Report of our Minister fog Public Instruction, the National Industry,. and Colonies, &c., by the advice of the Council of State, we have resolved— " Art..l. No Netherlands fisherman shall be allowed to carry on the great 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 whatsoever (except in cases of urgent ne cessity, as provided for by article 21 of the said laws) even to approach within a smaller distance of the said coast, while en gaged in the pickle-herring fishery. 1. This prohibition does not extend— •° ts) To,the great fishery off Shetland and the island of Fairhill. " (b) To what is called the deepwater pickle-herring fishery, carried on in the autumn, more to the south, on the coast of England, on the banks of Yarmouth; and, lastly, " (c) To the fresh-herring fishery. " These fisheries may be carried on as hitherto has been the custom ; the fishermen are at the same time most strictly en. joined not to cast the offal into the sea nearer to the coast than the places where the herrings are caught. " All violations of this ordinance shall be punished according to the law of the 6th of March, 1818. " Given at the Hague, April 4, 1824, the 11th year of our reign. (Signed) " WILLIAM." PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. NATIONAL VACCINE ESTABLISHMENT. A COPY of the last REPORT of the VACCINE BOARD to the SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DE PARTMENT, dated March 18, 1824. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE ROBERT PEEL, Secretary of State for the llo►ne Department, &c. &c. &c. SIR-WC have the honour to acquaint you, for the informs tion.of Parliament, that, although cases of Small I'ox, after Taccination, continue to be reported to the Board, yet the fre quency of such accidents, when compared with the vastly in creased number of persons who are now vaccinated, does not appear to be greater in proportion than it was during the eatlier years of the discovery. The disease, when it does occur under such circumstances, continues to prove as mild and safe in its character as hereto.. fore ; so that there is no reason whatever to supp ose th a t the Vaccine Matter has lost any thing of its efficacy in the course of years which have elapsed since it was first taken from its original source. The Board has been occupied in endeavouring to discover, if possible, what habits are most prone to the secondary disorder, and to ascertain upon what peculiarity it depends that so many persons should be rendered entirely secure, whilst a few re main liable to an attack of mitigated Small Pox. This is a subject which has presented numerous difficulties, and we cannot flatter ourselves that we h ave yet attained any certainty in the inquiry; we are sure, however, that more attention should be paid to the progress of the vesicle than has hitherto been bestowed upon that point, and that it is most proper to vaccinate with fresh matter, whenever it can be ob tained. We are unavoidably led to the latter conclusion by remarking,'that of the eight thousand persons annually vacci nated in the metropolis by our stationary vaccinators, a very considerably smaller proportion fall into the secondary disease here, than is observed to be the case out of an equal number vaccinated in the country. This difference we are disposed to attribute chiefly to the necessity which sometimes arises in the country of using matter which has been kept too long; for, notwithstanding repeated and urgent injunctions to all our correspondents to exert their utmost endeavours to keep up a supply of fresh Lmph, it is constantly reported to us that there is considerable difficulty in doing this. Thus, although it may be consolatory to know that a neverfailing source is to be found in the Metropolis, the gratifying conviction is alloyed with the apprehension that, without the protection and support of Par liament, afforded by the establishment anti maintenance of this Board, all the advantages resulting from the important dis covery of Vaccination would run the risk of being lost to Society. We have sent Matter, since our last Report, to almost every quarter of this country, and to most of the Colonies.; and also to Lisbon, to Madrid, to Cochin-China, and to China ; and it has been received every where with grateful acknowledgments. so that the name of Great Britain is associated throughout the world with,acts of beneficence as well as of power. We have the honour to be, &c. &c. &c.. HENRY H ALFOR D, President of the Royal College of Physicians. R. Powell, 'Thomas Young,l . Censors of the Royal College Archd. Billing, of Physicians. gerh. G.

MISERIES OF A STAGE COACH. [From as American Paper.) " After all," says Madame de STAIL, 44 it is a melancholy pleasure to travel." My dear Corinna, what an expression !—" a pleasure to travel !" You might as well Lave said, " D'abord ce n'est qu'un triste plaisir que de su faire arracher le dent !" Nowever pleasant it might be to you to roll in your baronial travelling carriage from Geneva to Pa ris, to meet the incense of your adoring beaux esprit:, I can assure your illustrious shade, that the American stage-coach is quite another affair. The very Gerius of Inconvenience seems to have invented them, and to continue his ungracious assist ance to arrange their evolutions. Misery Ist. Packing. 2. After a sleepless night of anxiety, on the eve of th e f a t a l day, mixed with the interesting reflections_is every thing right in my valise Mary remember to wake me at four ? where did I pack' my shaving apparatus ? &c.--you drop into a perturbed sleep, which in half an hour is broken by the appalling cry--" The stage is come, Sir." You wake with aching head and low spirits, and would give every thing in the world, except your already-paid passage-money, to sleep till P. 3. Getting into the coach in the dark, treading on the feet of the peevish, sleepy, occupants—you are stuck upon the midst of the narrow tottering, middle seat, with no back to lean against, and two or three trunks already in possession of the place destined for your legs. A sick child is awaked by your entree, and the mother opens on an octavo higher than concert pitch, to drown his cries and aid in waking him thoroughly: After keeping you in this state half an hour, the coachman drives on, you are greeted with the mutterd d—n' of your opposite male fellow passenger, as you pitch against him, and the whinning ' dear me ! luddy mercy ; of the " ladies" (to use the coachman's hyperbolical complement to the gingham draped travellers), on whom, in turn you recoil. 4. A breakfast at a poor tavern. Domestic coffee, sweetened with maple sugar, heavy, coarce bread—tough, cold ham. No napkins, no salt spoons, no egg cups, no toast, no nothing. You have now a view of your fellow-passengers, who are to bear you company throughout a long summer's day. And first of the " ladies"—the sick Childs cross mother—a red, fat, snuff-faced widow, and two old maids with faded silk gowns and gold necklaces. The men ignorant and presuming, wrangling about manufactures and politics, and treating their salivary glands to a profusion of tobacco. You have a fine time to reflect on your folly in leaving the charming, cheerful breakfast at C—'s. The strong, hot amber of the coffee—the light French roll—the Vauxhall ham, and, above all, the rosy. laughing girls, blooming and giggling from their morn ing slumbers, and full of the amusements and sports of the day—" a longing, lingering look behind." 5. As you are about to remount the mud-fleckered coach, you look with tardy prudence for your valise. Remember at this convenient season, you forgot it. You thus endure, like the man in the play, not only disgrace and inconvenience, but positive loss. Forced to open your heavy, large, close-packed trunk twenty times a-day, for want of the valise as a tender. Your immagination dwelling on it with nervous tenacity,— " So neat a va li se — so c onvenient—all my dressing articles—the very valise I had abroad—how could I lose my valise ?" &c. 0. A rough, stony road, wooden springs to the carriage, the horses as well as the driver in spirit:, or deep clinging mud, lazy d r i ver an d ti re d horses—long stages of 12 or tomes with a heavy load. 7. Wishing to make a cross-cut, you are told that at the next village you will certainly find horses. Arrive, and while seeking the landlord, let the former stage drive off. Find out that there are no horses in. Perquisitions reluctantly and in dolently made for you at the doctor's, Squire L.'s, &c., un successful, it being the landlord's interest to detain you, and thence. ______. 8. A day at a country tavern—no books, amusements, or company.—(See Washington Irving's Stout Gentleman.)_ No good wine, no agreeable prospect, no pleasant scenery, no pretty chambermaids. The day seems like a little eternity— " Nothing there is to come, and nothing past." 9. Arrive at your destination ; hotel full ; are cork-screwed up five pair of stairs to a little, low, dark chamber, with two beds. The servant vanishes under the artful pretence of filling your dressing pitcher, but returns not—no bell—grope down to the bar—every one busy with the previous customers, in their new coats and smooth chins ; bar-keeper, from your muddy tra velling frock and long beard, takes you for your own servant, and minds nothing you say. Dressing to go out, find that every thing you want is precisely at the nadir of your trunk, which is not quite so handy as an elephant's ; clothes full of wrinkles—cravats yellow : quizzed by the native dandies in the reading and bar-room. ; nobody to whom you have cards at home ; your banker in the country, to stay a fortnight —little money, .and no credit ; see a fine girl in the street —laughs at your Yankee coat instead of falling in love with you, conime de raison—find the reverse of the proverb about a prophet in his own country true; treated rudely at the table d'hote, quarrel, no friend to take your note ; maks your dying arrangements—no friend to leave them with ; bound over to keep the peace—no friend to be hail. Get into the coach to return : every thing worse than before, because you have no curiosity to gratify, and have tired your body and mind into a state of querulous despondence. Arrive at home, and learn that, in your absence, your firm has failed, and your mistress married your rival. ODYSSEUS.

LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1824. ALGIERS. Extract of a Letter from the. Agents to Lloyd's at Marseilles, dated the 9th inst. cc The Racer cutter, arrived here last n ight, left'Algiers on the 30th ult., at which time two frigates were cruizing before that port, and two others before Bona.—No accommodation has been made of the differences with the Algerine Government, nor from existing appearances was there much probability of such an event very speedily taking place. The Revenge, having on board Vice Admiral Sir HARRY NEALE, had left Algiers, and proceeded to Mahon : from thence it is inferred that he will either proceed hither or go on to Malta.—We hear of no A Igerine cruizers being at sea. The Dutch squadron was, ife understand, on the 13th ult. at Mahon, sill" which date we have no account of them, but it appeared at that period to be the intention of th 6 Admiral (Ruysch) to resume his cruize along th e coast to Spain, and down to Algiers." Extract of a Letter from the Agrnt to . Lloyd's, at Constriii" nople, dated March 10. ' 6 Two or three Algerine vessels of war formed part of those lately anchored within the Darda nelles, but I apt ignorant whether they yet "- main there. I believe there are none o f that nation in this port."
