THE FISFIEIIIE,S,

The vast importance of the risheries has ever
been fat.avil Ikvvvledged hyall maritime Powers,
and by Wine more than treat Britain% and al-
though a,iya‘riety of circumstance's, with which'we
are buf_tdo tvell acquainted', have far many years
diverted the immediate attention of GOvernment
to other objects, yet 11.. s this never been lost sight
of, and We have much reason to believe that the

state of repose. to which arc are now happily re-

01mM, win be seized Ity our Rulers for the put--
, .

pose of protecting, exlentling,...an e; d' encouragin
the Fisheries of the United Kingdoni by all Ore
powerful means within their controul. With this
knowlede, we have ascertained, much to ow sa-
• - -
tisfaction, that the intentions of Government have
been in a great measure anticipated at Deal ;
where, through the active benevolence, and phi:.
lantbrophy of a few ',public, spirited individuals,
(at the head of whom stands his majesty's Na-
val Storekeeper), a White Herring curing esta-
blishment has just been set on foot, which, if
successful (and there can be no doubt of it),
will be extended to a general Fishery, for the
employment of the numerous industrious poor
who have been thrown out of situations by the
discontinuance of war. 'The plan of the Deal
establishment appears to us to possess every re-
quisite, •it: is to be carried on by o.Joint Stock
Company or share holding system. The object
of the Subscribers is purely disinterested (being
the,.employment of distressed parishioners) and it
is under the superintendintee of aCommittee of
the most active and conversant of its Members.
The most improved' methods of curing will he
adopted, for which purpose the Committee spare
neither personal trouble, pains, nor expellee, ant
as- profit is not the predominating object, there
can be 'no doubt that a few seasons experience,
with the advantage of contiguity, will give the
Deal Fisheries a preponderating influence in the
London Markets. We have been somewhat dif-
fuse upon .this subject, for the purpose of paying
a just tribute of applause to the highly respecta-
ble projector and directors of this erintmentlable
undertaking, and in the hope of stimulating others,
of our countrymen on the coast to turn their
thoughts to similar 'establishments. • _

Fisheries are a branch of our national eco.,
notny to which we cannot too earnestly call the
public attention i they are interminable sources
of wealth, and need only to be entered with pro..
per spirit, an under- judicious rcguletions, to
prove a more than counterbalance for the 1-05 s of
that trade which a long continuance of oar had,
enabled us to monopolize, but which must now
of course be divided w►th maritime Europe.

SAVINGS' BANK.--...The Savings' Bank, at Kin Z,

,patronage of several Gentlemen in the neii.3,•hboui.::

the happy effects resulting, from it. While those,

DUT,CII AND FLANDERS MAIL,

[RECEIVED THIS MORNING.]

ilatssm.s, Nov. 15.—The folloxiiing is the
T('sition of the several Prnssian Corps wliich have
left France, or are already upon its frontiers :
Prince Blneher is with his quarters at Namur, and
li remain there till the French fortresses are
Oven up. The Freuoh howlers, from the Mo.
~•:le to tlre Maese, arc covered with Prussian
(mops of all arms. The Ist and Gth Prussian
~11,4, under Generals Von Ziethen and Tanen-
sic!' ,:,:ter,(l in divisions behind each-Other, from
Amiens to Valenciennes, the heati--quarters of Tan-
-enzien being at Amiens. All the roads, as *ell
on the side of Cambray as of Line, are covered
A•itl) troops. In the fast fortress the service is
doile with double strictness, and for several
• days past the gates of Arras have been shut, so
tl;:tt nobody is permitted to go in or out. The
vau of the first Prussian corps had already reached
Notts, when it received orders to turn back. It
is now at Guievrain, between Mons and Valen-
ciennes. All the environs of this fortress are oc-
cupied by Prussian, Hanoverian, and Netherland
t wins.

Vna.Atnnv.s, Nov. 10.—It seems certain, that
the dsfioitive 'Treaty of Peace is on the point of
beiog concluded; but it seems also, that the Con-
svention agreed on by the Solveigns on both
-sides, to serve as thF basis 0f..4e argument, has
been departed from, and that it is much more un-
'favour:lWe to France than people had hoped, and
France seems greatly dejected. Thus it is affirmed,
that not oolynumerous French towns and fortresses
will he garrisoned by the Allies, bat_that even se-
veral departments in the North anal East will re-
main in their occupation; that in th-eie depart-
nients, only three fortresses, Lille, Metz, arid
• Strasburg, shall have Pencil garrisons, which
shall not exceed 31)00 teen ; that between these
dein:stirs so occupied, and thes'rest of TFrance,
there shall he an esnent of territory.. hi leagues
broad, which shall not be occupied ',rimy troops,
either of the Allies or French ; that the civil ad-
ministration shall remain in all these occupied
unoecupied parts of the country, on the
ancient footing. The hundred and thirty millions
per annum for the maintenance. of
.the Allied
Trooo, to he paid every year in three instal-
ments. It is further said, that France is to give
the All'es certain valuable securities (rentes), as
a guarantee for the fulfilment of the above conch.
tions, in default of which the Allic, way aril al
psi, or the while, of the said securities. A fo-
reisn garrison remains in Paris, which the Ali-
misters do not much oppose, it being thought
certain that this is necessary for the maintenance
of 11:s Majesty's Government, so long as due re-
spect is not to be found in the French armed
forces How far this support may be found in the
new Royal Guard, time will spew ; but there are
even now some, reasons to doubt whether all the
nes -
corps which compose it are animated byrthe.spirit
which is the object of his Majesty'Sswishes.—
in several places they have given occasiaf-fli un-
pleasant scenes.—(llaarleni Courant, Nov. 18.)
VERSAILLES, Nov. 8 —Credible persons arrived
from N:smes confirm the accounts of the dreadful
scenes which took place there in the night of the
lith tilt. It seems that the unhappy Protestants
are again persecuted with' the greatest fury;; these
persons affirm that the tocsin was
.sotioded at
Nismes, and that the neighbouring rieaSitntry,
armed st ith sticks and spades, came in nniMberis,
with the horrible cry- of " Vive le St. Barthe-
lemy !" to join in the assassinations in the town.
General La Garde, however, to whom the Pro-
testants arc under the greatest obligations, suc-
ceeded by his wisdom and firmness in restoring
tranquillity. It is positively affirmed in Paris,
that it has been resolved in the Council of the Mi-
nisters to bring to justice the notorious Tartaillon,
who was arrested some months ago, but set at li-
berty again, and that orders to that effect are sent
to Nistnes.—(llastrlcan Courant, Nov. 16.)
linusssos, Nov. 17.—The grand convoy of pic-
tures and other articles belonging to Belgium,
taken back from the Museum of Paris, arrived on
the 15th on the frontiers of our Kingdom. Im-
mediately the orange flag was displayed upon the
first carriage, amidst. repeated and enthusiastic
cries of " Long live the King_ of the Nether-
lands !" from the battalion of National Guards
forming...the escort, and by the inhabitauts,'-'WhO
flocked from all sides to see the train pass. This
sight, says an eye-witness, .had something really
grand in it ; these enormous carriages, contain-
iag all the master-pieces of the Flemish School,
slowly proceeding along the high road, sur-
rounded by the brave warriors who bring
them hark to their native soil, had an ap-
ilearance of triumph and dignity, and seemed -to.
