OYSTER FlSlllitt-Y.

Mr. WHARTONi;aliid up the Report of the Oy-
ster Fishery Bill. • • •
• SirS...llommt.y opposed the Bill. In the Com-
mittee he intended to propose, in lieu of the punish-
ment of transportation fur leven years-, imprison-
went for two; but the Bill had passed through the
Committee, vety unexpeatedly lo him, at an early
hour this morning. His chief objection to the Bill.
was, that the House was. not• sufficiently acquainted
with the nature of the property which it was intend. •
ed to secure. 'He deprecated the enactment of a new
penal law, without having previously ascertained the'
precise extent ut the crime, or-without a complete
conviction that it might not be committed in igno-
rance rather. than with. a-rnaleroleht design. Ile
dwelt with considerable twee on the dreadful de-
pravation of mind to which the persons transpotted
to Botany Bay were sutkjeCted, and contended, that
it was of such a nature as to call loudly for the inter-
ference of the Legislature.
The Souccrun GEN 'MAL defended the Bill, as.
indispensible to the protection of private property.
It was not the enattment of a new penal statute.
It was already in his opinion a felony at common
•l stir; but from an inadvertence, in wording of the
the i!rotedion of this protwrty was
_up; so
voinplete as was desirable •that it sbould be; !U1
that CA: Bill before the House processed, was to
the common law. With respect to the
it •was not greater than what was
:::!;,•:;;••. similar offences._

AAUENS explained the way in which this
iy was exposed to robbery; and declared that
tt ,sine mealli were not devised to secure ibis pro-
perty from depredation, the persons engaged in the
fish ay would be very materially injured. - •
Sir A. UHT'S thought that the oyster beds should
be more distinctiy marked by buoys, lest he or any
other innocent man, 'who was fond of oysters,
should be betrayed into the unfortunate .prediea--
ment of finding that he had unwarily comaiitted
felony:
Mr. S. BbtraNwana Sir W. ErsonD both sup-
ported the Bill, on the principle that severe punish-
ment was necessary to prevent crimes of easy 1:0m-
Mission.

Mr. W. WYNNE pressed the necessity of dis-
tinctly marking out the beds.
Mr. \ftLugus dwelt on the necessity for further
security to the proprietors•olthe beds. - •
Sir A. PIGOTT complained of'being called upon to
legislate on this subjecl, and to meet such: severe
punishments withot-t. a much more satisfactory in-.
vestigarion. The common law was clear, as stated
by his Learned Friend; what occasion was there
fur the present Bill.
Mr. SPENCER STANHOPE, while he allowed that
this description of property required a greater guard
than that which it now had, would rather that any
offence against the Bill should be a transportable
misdemeanour instead Art a iekmy. 1-le wished the.
discussion to be adjourned, ter give an sypurtunity
fur the consideration ofthis suggestion.

Mr. WESTERN delend‘d the Bill at Consideiable
length. . •
Mr. BURTO:kt was Or opinion, that it might bead-
visable, on the third reading, to introduce a clause,
by which no persons should he entitled to_ prosecute,
who had not, by proper btioys, marked out the ex-
tent of their beds.

The Gallery was then cleared, but we understand
that the Report was agreed to without a division.

The thil.was ordered to be read a third time to-
morrow.

and rite generaty At the
same tame that 'his Majesty condeseended to 'fliscairse
with -a, with paternal affability, on the present
state of affairs-, he Made the most important obser-
vations upon every Olin that could insure our pro-
'verity, and spoke to us with a noble 'indifference
concerning the rights which events have given him
over the Country. • The Emperor observed that the
great distance which .separates Portugal from, the
seat of Government in France, does not permit hiS
watching over the concerns of our Country with the
same care and solicitude as over the interests of his
other subjects, and that he knew the difficulty of
entrusting a great pOwer, over distant Countries, to
• other hands. His Majesty spoke to us. with Some'
displeasure, but without any great warmth, of the
Prince who governed us, and of his Royal rice. He
principally treated of the tneallti of raising us to our
tlue station among the powers of the Continent of
.Europe, and of delivering us from the yoke of Bri-
tish influence, tinder which we had, during so many
years, suffered. His Majesty said, that he would
endure no English colony on the Continent. Finally,
he declared, that our, fate. was in our own hands;
that it depended on the disposition which we should
manifest to the world, the uprightness with which
We should •embrace the 'general cause. of the Con-
tinent of Europe, and the firmness with which we
should resist-temptations to. mislead us (rotu the ob-
jects in 'view. See, these ire the tokens by which
his Imperial and Royal Majesty will recognize whe-
ther you are worthy-to constitute a nation, support a
throne, and have a Prince 's tid will govern you, and •_
fill a rank among'the powers of Europe."

NorurFG bad arrived in an Official shape from
BP4I when this Paper was put to Press.--The
Infy intelligence at present in circulation, respect-
tug the dfairs of that Country, is derived from a
Gerdeinan who came in the Vessel which brought
the last Disiatches, and who left Cadiz on the
215th. According to his account, there is little to
be eveeted from the Marquis Ds SOLANO, to
WhOill, on his return feum Portugal, the Patriotic
Spaniards lOoked• up with confidence. They flock•
eci round him, and invited him to join the Stand-
ard of his Country, against the French Invaders;
but *he recomineuded tranquillity, seeming to con-
&der :dl resistance to the French as hopeless, and
only likely to bring forward the most dreadful events.
The. Marquis, •however, had nut heard at thiS pe-
Tioct of the noble spirit which had arisen in other
the Province of Estramadura,he received a Dispateh.
Quarters of Spain. Soon after the Marquis arrived in
from the temporary, Government at Madrid. re-
quiring ,his presence immediately. lieobeyed the
summons, divided his -Army, .and stationed them
in various direaioni.—Fle afterwards issued a Pro-
-lamation declaring that the French and .Spanish.
Troops were hencetbrward to be considered as upblf
the same footing. • It is evident that such a man,
however good his intentions, is not fit for so import,-

, • •
'alit a crisis. Theta= Gentleman, who is generally
Mentioned•as a.very respeaable character, says, that
though the,people of Cadiz and its neighbourhood
had not beard of the noble spirit that animated their
Countrymen in the northern pins of Spain,.they ex-
pressed the most decided animosity against the
treachery and oppression 'of France. General SPEN-
CER had net attempted a landing, but bad not.
returned to Gibraltar. Other accounts, via -1101--
land, state that BUONAPARTE had fully accom-
plished his purpose in Spain, and was about
to quit Bayonne on his return to
.Paris. If
any confidence, is to be placvd, in the;las intelli-
gence, it is probable that BuoNAPArrz. is doubtful
of his success in Spain, and has left-the struggle to
his Generals, as well as the disgrace, if virtue and
patriotism should triumph over injustice and op-.
pression.

11 LAST night some, Areign% Papers to the itith
reached town, from which we have extracted some
interesting articles. JOSI31)11 BUONAPARTE has been
summoned by his Brother to attend him atßayonne,
but for what purpose it is not mentioned—perhaps
to make him a present of either the Kingdom of
Spain. or Portugal;' though some of the German
Papers positively assert thar LUCIEN BUONAPARTE Is
to be the new Sgvereign of Spain. These Papers
give its no ;nformation respecting thelransaCtions
in Spain„ but BuoNAproma is collecting as many of
• the Spanish Nobles about him at Bayonne as he
can, in order to give some thing like'a colour to his
usurpation. . .

Yesterday, at one o'clock, His MAJESTY arrived
in town from' Windsor and was received at the
Queen's Palace by the Duke of CAMBRIDGE; at two
o'clock His MAntsTr held a private Lei,ee.
The following had the liOnour of being pre-
sented lo - his MAJ EsTY

consequence, and gave His MAJESTY a Royal Salute.
On Sunday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council

The Cabinet met again at the Foreign Office,
at the sante hour on Monday, 'when the Spaniards
who lately arrived in this country attended.
The three Spant3ll Officers whO. arrived from
Cadiz in the Minorca came up to town yester-
day, in . consequence of an, order by. the Telegraph
on the preceding evening, and had an interview
ixith some of the Ministers. The objet of their
mission is said to be the arrangement of some
commercial intercourse. between - the Spanish Co-
, lollies on the River Plate and this Country.
Yesterday a General Court was held' at the East
India House, when the Dividend on the half-year
commencing the sth of January last, and ending the
stir of July, next, was declared to be al per cent.
The CHAIRMAN acquainted the Court, that the
Petition to the House Of Commons, approved on the
last General Court, had been • presented, and re-
ferred to the Committee fur investigating the Com-
• patty's Affairs; that, in consequence of the first
Report Iron) that Committee, .the House had re-
solved, that a sum not exceeding A,500,0001. be
paid to the Company, on laccount of expellees in-
curred by them in the public service; and that it
was understood that the Committee are to continue
their investigation of the several matters contained
in the Company's Petition, and to report further to
the House.

John Julius Angerstein, 'Wm. Drewe, and Robert
Hunter, Esqrs. ; Sir Henry Strachey, Bart. ; Geo.
Samuel Wegg, John Clements, and George Cum-

Tottenham ; for Madras and Bengal.—Capt. J.
NORMAN, Devaynes, for Bombay.
Music.--The benefit Concert of Mrs. Astra
last night at the 'Argyle-street Rooms, was one or
the best musical treats that the present season has
produced, and was very well attended. Mrs. Btt.-
LINGTON, BRAHAM, and NALDI, lent their powerful
assistance on the occasion, and Mrs. ASHR was a
considerable prop to the entertainment. " Fair.
Aurora" was delightfully sung. by Mrs. BILLING-
TON and BRAHAM, not accompanied. by the Band,
blit by BEAtiAM on the piano forte, a circurn-,
stance that. placed them in an awkward position
with relation to the audience. ASH/.s concerto on
the flute was a perle& exhibition of the powers
of the instrument. The whole was well .varied,
and highly applauded.

CORN-EXCHANGE, JUNE 33.---Although but an
inconsiderable supply of Wheat to-day, it exceeds
the demand, and sales are heavy, nearly at last
prices; Barley likewise, a very
.few buyers; there
is scarcely any Malt, and Beans of the two descrip-
tions ; White Pease, the price nominal ; there are
large supplies of Oats, and this trade is named at a
declension in price oeabout is. and Vs.'per quarter;

GO'CTENBURGII, IUNE

. .
fhave been anavaidhly prevented from writing
since the date,a my last Letter, and )ou have iiot
lost much by the suspension, as the War in this
neighboUrhoOd„ after what 'we haVe 'ken in other
quarters ,of lite, affords bin little interest ; yet' if
the atEnr9 are not brilliant, they Thew, at least, a
determined spirit in the brave Swedish Nation, faith
which much may be expected in time: Vie Spirited
conduel of the peasants, headed by. a Clergyman',
at Oland, the retaking 'of GOthland, and- the se-
veral affairs in Finland, are highly crediiable to the
Swedes.

The battle of Kuopio, lasted three hours; at the
end of which,the Swedes entered the place., took SOO

Russian prisoners; many of whoM were wounded;
1200 barrels of 'corn,
.1000 sacks of flour, tell into
the hands of the visitors. Several other engagel.
ments have taken place, in all of which the Swedes
had the advantage : the Russians were emy where
repulsed, sand lest several magazines. The Russian
Arniy is'at present concentcrcd at Gamla Carleby,
to the number of about ;nob men ; KONnsroa's
Army is daily advancing, and receives reinforce-
ments front all quarters ; a general englgetnent is
hourly expecled.

General Major VEGESA'CK. left Grislehaven,
the ,)tith May, for the 141anci of Oland, with several

Officers, and a convoy of ammunition and provi-
sions, which includes an 'opinion, then the intention
is tc, organize a Militia force in that Island.
From the Army in Norway nothing very interest-
ing has been received for some time: General
D'Atiwkwr was on the I§th May ar Hohnidahl;
In a small affair of posts, Baron ULFSPARN and a
few chasseurs were surprised, and the Baron lost
his life;'. htirthe E'nerny was repulsed, and the
Swedes took one ht♦witzer and several prisoners.
General D'AnmveLoT, it is said, is hourly .ex,
petted here, to confer with General Sir JOHN MOORS
upon the return 'of Colonel MoanAv, who, it is ex-
petted, -will bring orders relative to the ultimate
destination of the English Army.
Numerous Couriers have ,prissed lately between
Elsineor 'and Helsingburgh, from- which it is con-
jeCtured than the King of Denmark, fearful of
.tiur
retaking Zealand, is endeavouring - to negotiate a
Peace with England and'Sweden. When his situation
is considered, the thing seems by oo means improba-
ble. The last Letters from Copenhagen mentioh the
price of bcefand other meat at 23. 6d, per pound, and
every thing in proportion, and the discontents of the
populace very loud ; they openly declare their wish to
see the English again, recollecting that, during their..
stay in the Island, every article of provision was
abundant, and money still _more.
The greatest degree of fermvntation possible exists
ainong the Spanish Troops lit Fionda ; it nearly
amounts to a revolt; they declare they have been
deceived, and openly avow their intention to put
themselves under the proteEtion of the English Fleet,
if they are not immediately allowed to return to
Spain. What will it be when they. hear the last ac-
counts from Madrid, which they had not then re-
ceived.
