The Paris Papers of Wednesday with the Etaile dated Thursday have arrived, they con tain no intelligence whatever. By an extract from the Etoile given below, it appears that a commercial intercourse is about to be opened be tween France and Egypt, especially in the im- Purtation of Cotton-wool. In order to give due "`frees to this new branch of trade, the establish ment of a Joint Stock Company to be called the Egyptain Company is proposed, and no doubt the Subscriptions will be speedily filled EgYptain Cotton is in the article altud to `" reprehented as being already nearly equal the finest American Cottons. A few years practice in the cultivation of the plant will, perhaps, render it quite equal, and as its growth cannot be more expensive in Egypt than hi America, it creates a rival of a most formida ble nature in one of the most lucrative branches "f the trade of the United States, owing to the propinquity of Egypt to the seat of the greatest consumption of Cotton-wool. Great quantities of this Cotton were imported into England last Year, and it is understood, that almost the total produc e of this year has been contracted for by British merchants, but, as the contracts are made with th e Agents of His highness the Pacha of itIGYPT, it is not to be supposed that he will ob. serve their conditions any longer than it shall an ther hi s purpose so to do. The packing of the C otton forms a t p resent i ts chief objection, as f rom its not being compressed a vessel cannot take so tuuch as she otherwise might, and thus the price is increased by the unnecessary freightage its bulky nature naturally superinduces. The in duction of pressing machines would remove this (Prom the 3 foniteur of ITT e d nes d ay .—N on _official Part.) PARIS, MAY 10. T.

SYnA, 111.Anctt The following is the mode which the Government adopted to remove the revolted Chiefs from the Peninsula and from Na-. poll, where credit was supposed to be given to their repentance, at least for several of their adherents. Admiral Miaulls, who was at Napoli, and with whom the measures were concerted, invited them to dinner on board his ship. As soon as they were en board, Aliaulis told them they were his prisoners, and sailed for Hydra. Odysseus, who has embraced the side of the Turks, and has thus shewn the extent of his confidence in the affairs of Greece, has repaired with a hundred soldiers to Negropont, where he has left his mother and his wife as hostages, as an unexcep tionable pled ge o f hi t fidelity to the cause in which he has engaged. De was inexpugnable in his entrenchments on Mount Par.. nassus, and nothing could have compelled him to the extraor dinary step which he has taken. But he has become convinced that there is more security and happiness with the Turks than with the Greeks, and he has preferred living and combatting with the former. After having entrusted his family to Oincr Pacha at Negropont, he has repaired to Zeitung to concert measures with the Pacha of Thessaly relatively to the operations of the carupign whi c h i s go i ng to open, an d w hi c h , as every thing indicates, will be decisive.—(Journal de Franyori, May 7.) SWITZERLAND, MAY 2. The Directorial Government will certainly send an extraor dinary deputation to I‘lilan, to compliment their Majesties the Emperor and Empress of Austria, in the name of the Swiss Confederation. It is said that M. Ituttiman of Lucerne is at the head of this deputation. It is believed that this deputation will receive instructions to confer with -Prince Metternich on many matters concerning several single Cantons; but that it will not be charged with any negociation relative to the general interests of the Confederation. It is understood that. the Cantons of the Grisons and Tessin° will send Deputies of their own to Milan. Many persons hope that the commercial relations with Italy in general, and with the Austrian States in particular, will be discussed tt,..ze. The negociations with the Court of Turin are still suspended, and there is no appearance that they will be soon renewed. With respect to the affair of the Biehoprick nothing is done, as the Papal Nuncio at Lucerne is still without the new instruc tions that are necessary, and there appears to be no disposition at Borne to accelerate the buNiness. The Ordinance of his Holiness, relative to the reading of the Bible, was puhiicly•read on Easter. Monday in the Cathedral of St. Gallen. The Catholic Administration of the Canton has taken all imaginable pains for the reinstatement of the venerable clergyman, Mayer, of St. John, in Toggenburg, without being able to succeed with the Bishop of Core •and St. Gallen. His only fault was, that he lived in Christian amity with his Pro testant neighbours, and encouraged hie parishioners 'to do the same. •. The Rev. M.

Our fair is not absolutely bad, but it is not good ; there is too great a want of purchasers from Russia and Poland, as well as from Moldavia and Wallachia. Several articles have expe rienced a considerable advance in price, woollens, leather, linens, Fcc. The purchasers, therefore, hold hack as much as they can. Middling and coarse woollens sold rapidly, and many manufacturers have soon returned home. Several have taken large orders with them. IVool is not to be had here, and has risen from twenty to twenty-live per cent. within these few months. The retail trade is indifferent, which is chiefly owing to the vexatious system of import du ties adopted by the neighbouring Governments ; yet the number of merchants annually increases, and those, who twenty years ago brought SO or 79 cwt. of manufactured goods, now bring two or three hundred cwt. The booksellers have a vast quan tity of books returned ; some, it is said, for 50 or CO cwt.— (Frankfort Papers, 7th May. The Algemeine Zeitung of the 7th, and the Austrian Observe,' of 2(.1 May, have no article whatever relative to Greece or Turkey. [ Extract of a Letter, dated Zante, 30th March, via Otranto.] '''The Egyptian fleet has made two landings of 19,000 men at Al ()don, commanded by Ibrahim Pacha, and have returned a third time to Suda, in Candia, to embark 8,000 Albanians, disciplined in Egypt. The Egyptian Commodore dispatched ten vessels front Illodon,, off the port of Zante, and has convoyed eight Austrian transports, laden with provisions of every kind, into the Gulf of Patras, which arrived vary sea sonably, as the Turkish garrisons were hard pressed for flour, although they were well supplied with cattle. No Greek ves sels arc in those seas, and no Greek naval force is yet our. The Egyptians are mostly disciplined troops, and besides the in fantry have 2,000 cavalry ; they are now bombarding Nava rino, under the immediate command of Ihrahini Pacha. Its surrender I expect very shortly. If they take it, I think the fate of the Morea decided: if they do not, I imagine affairs 11111;y be much protracted, The Turks are coming down from Albania towards Missolonghi about 70,000 strong, and most probably they will do something this campaign. —The reason assigned for the inactivity of the Greek naval force, in a letter I have seen from Hydra, dated the 21st instant, is, the Go vernment refused to make the usual advances to the crews, the last instalments of the Greek loan having been publicly ap propriated by the Government to the payment of old. debts due among themselves, instead of applying the proceeds to the pro secution of the present campaign.—The agents of Mehemet Ali (the Pacha of Egypt) have been raising large sums of money at Constantinople and Smyrna, by bills on London, for the service of their expedition to the Morea." In our Paper of Thursday night, May 12, we promise • d to revert to the subject of th“ Gamy. LAW,3. We then endeavoured to justify the principle on which they were enacted, and now return to the subject, in order to conclude our observations on their policy and intent.— The leading features of the Bill lately rejected by the House of Lords, were the making of game the private property of the person on whose land it was found for so long time only as it continued there, and the legalizing its sale.— The ohject of these provisions Was to prevent poaching ; but to us it appears wholly inade quate to that purpose, because it would facilitate the traffic between the poacher and the dealer, and thus a legal sale would cover an illegal acqui sition of game. The most effectual way to pre vent poaching is to take away the temptation to commit the offence ; but we confess we cannot see how legalizing the sale would reduce the temptation, unless Gentlemen would become breeders and dealers, and in that case sporting would be very little better than shooting of cocks and hens in a farm-yard. The most effectual way to prevent Poaching would he to take away the protection that the Game Laws have hitherto thrown around game, because in that event the game would soon be entirely destroyed, and there would be nothing to poach for. But by so doing one of the chief charms of a country life is taken awa y, and country gentlemen, instead of spend ing- their time amongst their tenants, and their mone y amongst their poor neighbours, in im proving their houses, their lands, and estates, would be found " capering nimbly in a lady's in : 1 the o t c the, ,cc promenad e: u p chamber," sauntering into coff ee -h ouses, reposin g their weary ‘m l: la nt and nobly tion of the greatest number of chairs; a spectacle that the city of Paris daily ex hibi ts, both hi the precints of the Palais Royale and the more re fined neighbourhood of the Boulevard des Da liennes. (low detrimental this would be to the national character it is hardly necessary t o say, its natural effect in paralyting the mind, and in producing sickli bodies, need only to be con sulted, to assure us of the fact. 'fire fine, noble, open countenance of the Britoil, the manly energies of his mind and frame would vanish, and leave only traces serving as an index to point out what he was and what lie is. Its effect too (although remote) on the political situation of the Kingdom ought not to be overlooked, for who can coutemplate a degradation of the national character, and not see that it must be accompa nied with a proportionate prostratiou of our liber ties at home, and our independence and rank in the scale of nations ? If the national character of the British island s is lost, their superiority in the world is lost also. For these reasons we are far from stigmatizing these laws as barbarous and unjust, and as the remains of feudal tyranny to which, indeed, they hear no sort of resemblance, but we could wish the duty of a Justice Of the Peace, so f ar as regards these laws, was inioiste rial not judicial, and thus the judgment of guilt or innocence for breaches of them would be re stored to its proper place, viz, a jury of the coun try. We are not very well satisfied with those who conceive that there is no difference between robbing a hen roost and poaching in a pre serve, and their consiste nc y in argument is strangely evidenced when they protiounze the Game Laws as cruel, and yet at the same time, advocate the plan of making game private property. • This simple alteration would c" - stitute poaching (which is now a misdemea nour only) a felony, and subject the offender to seven years transportation at the least, for an offence they deem already too severely punished by a fine of P 5, or by imprisonment and hard labour for three months. The hope to put down poaching entirely is vain ; it cannot be done by any thing short of the utter extinguishment of game, and that is a consummation not to he de sired. Perhaps, the most effectual way of re straining it, would be to extend the qualification, and that, coupled with a little more liberality on the part of lords of manors and owners of land, iu granting to their friends, and especially to their respectable tenants and their friends, per mission to shoot, would, by increasing the supply of game.iu a legal way, • proportionably diminish the supply by poaching, because the demand could not in such case be so great as it now is, so many being furnished by the kindness of their sporting friends. When we desire to extend the qualification to kill game, we do not mean to alter the present standard further than by making it more consistent with common sense, for certain ly such a qualification can be only derived from the possession of land. The privilege, however, might, with propriety, be extended to the per son next in succession to the present owner.— Property in the funds could not with justice con stitute a qualification because there is no pre tence to vest tire property in game in a food holder, but it might be permitted to all persons, not havi ng it b y r i ght, to purchase a qualification for a year, by paying a specific sum for the same at the time he would take out his certificate. No question can exist as to .the fact that certi ficates are granted to many persons not qualified by law to kill game, and thus the Game Laws might be made more subservient to the pur poses of Revenue than they now are. With the principle of the Game Laws we have before shewn ourselves satisfied. A revision of them, accompanied with some little alterittion in their detail and administration, together with some lenity and consideration towards the unlucky of. fenders against them is all that is required to insure them the approbation of the public, and an adequate effect in restraining the practices against which they are chiefly directed.

A public dinner was yesterday given to his Grace the Duke of WI.:LLINGTON, at the City of London Tavern, by the subscribers to this taste ful offering at the shrine of Heroism. The LORD MAYOR presided, and had the honour of sitting between the Duke of Wellington and the Marquis of Anglesea. At the same table sat Earl Darnley, the three City Members, Messrs.. Wilson, Woad, and Bridges ; Sir Charles Flower, Sir Coots Trotter, Sir Ulysses Burgh, and other elistingui•h ed Officers. At the other table were some of the most re spectable Gentlemen of the mercantile and trading classes in the City of London. At about seven o'clock a magni ficent dinner was served up, accompanied by wines of the choicest quality. After the removal of the cloth, a Bene dietos was sung by Messrs. Broadhurst, Hawes, Master Smith, &c. The usual toasts, " The Sin g ," " The Duke of Y or k," " The Duke of Cl a ren ce an d t h e Royal Family," having been drank with their respective honours, The Loan .31Aroit rose anti said, that having proposed those toasts which, relating as they did to the Sovereign upon the Throne and the Royal Family, ought always to precede every other consideration, he now came to the sub ject more iinmediately connected with the occasion of their meeting. " And Iv're," said the Lord Mayor, "it will be come my duty to address myself to one illustrious individual personally. " sly Lord Duke (sail his Lordship, addressing himself to the illustrious Wellington), amongst the many honourable and noble individnals by whom I am surrounded, I, having the honour to be Chief Magistrate of the first City of the Em pire, am called upon, and shall endeavour, thougb in a faint manner, to express the feelings of every individual present upon this occasion, which you have honoured with your pre sence. It is a task to which I feel incompetent; and -I am convinced that any other person present would have discharged what I should rather say is not a task,- but a most pleasing duty, in a far more satisfactory and gratifying manner. When reflecting, my Lord Duke, upon the approbation which your conduct throughout your military career has received from the Parliament and front the country, it perhaps but ill becomes a small body like those in whose name I have the honour to address you, to come forward with an expression of their own feelings. Yet they, in common with all your countrymen, are anxious to evince their gratitude for the deeds which your Lord ship has performed. If I were to attempt to enumerate all the campaigns, and to trace downward from your Lordship's early career all their glories and achievements, I should find our time incompetent to the undertaking. But there are some facts to which I cannot refrain from adverting. At Assaye, with a small force you attacked, defeated, and destroyed, an enemy greatly superior in strength, and your efforts on that day led to a subsequent victory, which put a glorious end to' the war, and upon your return to this country you received the thanks of both !louses of Parliament, as well as those of the inhabitants of Calcutta, who presented your Lordship with a memorial of their gratitude. But it . rs not my in tention to pursue the recapitulation of your victories, be cause they are numberless. Yet who can forget the Penin sula ? There, your Lordship, with a handful of British troops, the guerillas of Spain, and the undisciplined levies of Portugal, maintained yourself against the army of France IVho can forget the subsequent vorming at Badajoa, of Clench(' Rodrigo, and other places ? Who can forget the battles of Sa lamanca, of Vimiera, and all the other glorious victories which you followed up by passing into France, and creating a for midable check to the designs of the common tyrant in another quarter of Europe. Who can forget the battle of Toulouse ? And when arrived at Paris, your Lordship crowned your bril liant labours by obtaining an honourable peace ; little did we think that you would so soon have to meet one of the most powerful French armies that ever was assembled, front to front, upon the plains of Waterloo. That battle, in all its circum stances and results, has no parallel in history. Happy indeed was this country in having such a hero, supported by such offi cers and troops, to triumph in the shock of that day. Al though the naval glory of the country had previously reached a matchless height, yet this was the period reserved for the ad vancement of our military achievements to a corresponding greatness. Under Providence, my Lord Duke, the lermy which you commanded subdued our enemies, and returned to Eng land to receive those thanks from a grateful country which were so inetly It 2 due. So deeply was that feeling impressed upon our minds, that alth oug h t en y ears have elapsed, we recog nize in you, my Lord, under Providence, the cause of that happy issue which gave us all we now enjoy of peace, comfort and prosperity. lam directed now to present to your Lord ship this Vase, trifling in value, but intended to convey the highest feeling of admiration for the immortal name of Wel lington, which we desire to hand down with honour, not only to our children, but to our children's children."—(Great and long continued. applause.) The health of the Noble Duke was then enthusiastically drank with three times three. The Duke of WELLINWiON then rose, and with much feel ing ' , poke as follows a _ " i ant highly sensible of the manner in which you have been pleased to drink my health, and when I make this acknowledge ment I must, at the same time, return you my thanks for this beautiful specimen of the arts which you do me the honour to present. I accept it with the highest gratification, because I assure you that I receive with unfeigned gratitude this mark of approbation which you bestow upon my services. I will not advert to those scenes of my early life which the Lord Mayor has so much honoured by noticing; but I must say of the battle of Waterloo, that it well deserved his approbation. The battle of Waterloo produced consequences which were unheard of as the result of any event of that description in modern times, or, indeed, in any times. It completed the military glory of this country—it relieved mankind from the apprehension of a return to that horrible, revolting, and degrading, tyranny which had been imposed upon nearly all the world except the people of this country. It enabled his Majesty's Government to effect the peace of Europe upon terms most honourable to ourselves, and such as have led us to the greatness and prospe rity we now enjoy. God send that it may be as lasting as it is honourable and beneficial to the country. Although I claim these merits for the battle of Waterloo, 1 disclaim any extra ordinary merit for myself excepting a zealous, honest, ardent, desire to do my duty to my Sovereign and my country. The great results of that day are to be largely attributed to my Gallant Friend near me (the Marquis of Anglesea), and the other Officers who commanded, and to the discipline and bravery of our soldiers. They are to be attributed in a still greater degree to the exertions and spirit of the country, in supporting the army through all sacrifices and privations. It is that same spirit which has induced you at this distant period of time to draw the attention of men to this event, and to mark your approbation of my conduct. Ido not wish to underrate that conduct when I state that as long as that spirit shall exist, there will not be men wanting who will follow my example in doing their duty to their country, and endeavouring to merit its approbation." —(Long continued and fervid applause.) The Lour) MAYOR next proposed the health of the Mar quis Of A NOLESEA, with a few appropriate remarks. The Marquis of ANGLESEA said—" It gives me infinite pleasure to be amongst you this day to celeb ra t e t h e g l or i ous achievement 'in which your illustrious guest, my N o bl e an d Gallant Friend, stood so pre-eminent. To be so hon oure d b y a company combining so much of the talent iced weal t h o f t h e first City in the world,-e-to be so taken notic e o f b y my gallant, Chief, and the Lord Mayor,—was more than I could possibly have expected. in the name of the gallant men with whom I had the honour to serve, and for myself, I return you my most sincere thanks." The Duke of WELLINGTON rose to propose a toast, upon which, as he was addressing Gentlemen ofi the City of London, it was necessary for him to say but very little. Ile gave them the health of the Lord Mayor, whose acts during his mayoralty had already secured him the confidence and esteem of all.__ (Great applause.) The Loan M Avon returned thanks in a neat speech. The healths of Earl Darnley, Sir C. Flo wer, t h e City Mem hers, Sir U. Burgh, and other Gentlemen present, were drank, and they severally returned thanks in speech es which we regret a want of room compels us to mint. The LORD MAYOR proposed the House of Green, Ward, and Green, which had produced this beautiful specimen of taste and ert. Mr. GREEN rose, with great deference, to return thanks for the honour which had been done to himself and his Partners. Any trouble which they had taken, had been amply repaid by the honour of producing a work which would be in the posses sion of the illustrious Duke, whom every man mustconsider:Lathe Saviour of his country.—(Applause ) The Meeting then retired, after an evening which seemed to have been passed with perfect and unanimous gratification, Daughters, A in s p hb ru y, .fttheir seat, u m rzon, at ditto; from llampton Sadler, at ditto FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

Rowcitorr. F.w particulars have hitherto transpired of the lamented death of Mr. llowcaorT : the following letter . supplies the full details, which :re, we believe, perfectly au thentic : " Limes, DEc..lO, lOC " I have a most melancholy duty to perform in announcing to you the death of our excellent friend Mr. Rowcroft. Nothing can be more truly disastrous and unfortunate than the whole of the circumstances attending this sad event. On the morning, of Monday last, the 6th inst. i Mr. Rowcroft went in the car riage to Callao, accompanied by his daughter, to put his dis patches on board the Arab transport. They were detained so late, that Mr. Rowcroft had great difficulty in 'obtaining a passport to return to Lima from General Rodil, who assured him that the road would be insecure, as he could not possibly reach the city until after dark. Mr. Rowcroft was how ever determined, and proceeded. About two miles trona Lima they fell in with the outposts of the Patriot forces, who hailed them, and were answered ; but either did not hear, or did not understand the answer, as two or three shots were im mediately fired. Upon this Mr. Rowcrofc get out of the car riage (being dresam in full uniform), mounted one of the ser vant's horses and advanced alone very quickly, the carriage fol lowing, slowly. It was very dusk. but the guards could distin guish- the regimentals ; and mistaking the sound of the carriage on the stony road for artillery, (there being also six horses in motion), they instantly fired, and Mr. Rowcroft was struck and severely wounded. He contrived,. how ever, to ride back to the carriage and get in, telling Miss Rowcroft that he was merely hurt in the hand. They re turned towards Canoe, and Miss Rowcroft soon discovered that there was some other serious wound. At the first Spanish station, she insisted upon st o ppin g th e carr i age, and found there by chance'asurgeon, who examined the wounds and dressed them slightly, advising her to proceed to Callao as speedily as possible. Immediately upon their arrival, the BUT. geons of the men of war were sent for, and it was then tnewn that there was a dangerous wound in the stomach ; this neither Mr. Rowcroft nor the Spanish surgeon (by his desire) had pre viously communicated to Miss Rowcroft. The symptoms soon became more alarming, and it was evident to all that death must speedily ensue. The ball had entered the lower part of the belly on the left side, and could not be extracted. Mr. Rowcroft lingered on until 3 o'clock the next afternoon, appa rently in very little pain, and perfectly sensible to the left.— He spoke very little, and left not one word of any direttione whatever. At that hour he expired, and Miss Rowcroft was immediately removed on board the Cambridge. " I was not much surprised that the party did not return in the evening, as I knew it was probable that Mr. Rowcroft would be detained until a late hour by his business, and not at all improbable that in that case Rodil would refuse him a pass port. At ten next morning I received a note front Miss Row croft, communicating the sed event, and requesting me to re main in Lima, as her father could not be removed for Rome days. But before five o'clock another messenger arrived, an I learned the fatal and speedy termination. I immediately pro cured a passport from the Commandant here, and next morning early proceeded to Callao, and on b oar d th e Cambridge. Miss Rowcroft bears her irreparable loss with resignation. I found her of course in extreme affliction; but she was quite - calm'and composed, and appeared to feel as much for others as for her.. self; indeed, her principal consideration seemed to be for her brothers. I was much affected, and never witnessed more ad mirable conduct. " It was requisite that I should return immediately. to Lima to make preparations for the funeral, and for other purposes, but General Rodil would not grant me or any one a passport,' General Bolivar have entered Lima with an additional force the preceding day (Tuesday, the 7th). I had therefore ,no: alternative but to go round by Ancon, a distance of 50 miles, half by sea, and half by land. I arrived here yesterday afternoon. • " The burial is to take place to-morrow morning on the ialand of San Lorenzo, in Callao Bay, whence the body may at any. time be removed, either to England or into a Protestant church, which it is expected will be builr here ere long. - * " Bolivar entered Lima the very day of Mr.. Rowcsoft's death—the very day he was beginning to be wanted. You may imagine the regret of the Liberator and his party, though. no blame attaches to them. " Mr. Rowcroft was perfectly aware, and acknowledged that the whole of the blame lay on himself—that his death was solely attributable to his own temerity. He 'would leave Callao not. withstanding the cautions he received ; and when he came into the danger, he totally disregarded it, and continued ,advancing in spite of the balls that were whistling round his head. " The universal sorrow that his death has occasioned in Lima is utterly indescribable or inconceivable. It is common to both parties and to all classes. I have been stopped in the street by Mulattoes, Sambos, Negroes, by men, women, and children, to make inquiries, and express their grief and their commiseration for poor Miss Rowcroft. His generosity here during the late scarcity and general beggary was unbounded. He gave to all who asked indiscriminately and without inquiry. There is no such man left in Lima."
