LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 22, 1827.

We received last night the Paris Papers of. Mon-
day, and the Etoile dated Tuesday morning. They
do not contain any intelligence from Spain of ;it later
date than that which we were before in possession of.
The Etoile, however, states, on the authority of a
Bordeaux Journal, that desertion is general in all the
corps of the Army of Observation on the frontiers of -
Portugal ; about 40 daily go over into that kingdom,
and this is said to be the only reason of the retrograde -
movement of the Spanish army.
The French Chamber of Peers met on the 19th,
and the Keeper of the Seals presented the law on the
Press adopted by the Chamber of Deputies.
From Vienna it is stated, that according to the latest
accounts from Constantinople, the Porte had refused to
accept the mediation of Foreign Powers in the affairs
of Greece ; the Quotidienne and Journcl der Debatr
have also intelligence from Constantinople to the 11th
Feb., by which it appears that a fresh conspiracy had
been discovered by the CAPITAN PACIIA, the first
object of which was his own destruction and that of the
SULTAN, REIs EVFENDI, and all the chief heads of
the reform. Executions and banishments have not put -
down the spirit which has given rise to such long resistance
of the change of system which has been so vigorously
carried into effect by the SULTAN. His watchfulness
and energy, however, seem unabated, and complete •
success will, probably, ultimately crown his exertions,
unless Turkey should blindly resist the views of Great
Britain and Russia respecting Greece, when it will be •
impossible to calculate on the effects of those events to
which her obstinacy may give rise.
Extracts of these Papers will be found in another
column, and we subjoin the price of the Funds in Paris
on the 19th :

The proceedings in Parliament were not of particular
interest last night. Mr. PEEL stated that Mr. CAN--
NING, or himself, would to-day lay on the Table of
the House the Convention between this country and
Portugal, the ratification of which had been exchanged
only last week. From the expressions used by Mr.
PEEL, we are happy to infer, that the health of Mr.
CANNING is sufficiently recovered to justify the ex-
pectation that he may be able to resume his duty in
the House of Commons this evening. We regret to
add, that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was
prevented from being in the House, last night, by in-
dis

position.

Frankfort Papers of the 15th inst. contain some in-
teresting particulars of proceedings against the Greek
pirates by the English corvette Rose. While Greece
remains in its present state it is impossible to suppresa
the depredations of the pirates, who hold their own
Government in contempt, and make little distinction
between Turks and Franks, the general name for all
other nations :

_
SMYRNA, JAN. 26.
On the 16th December the English corvette the Rose per-
ceived near Ipsara a large boat without sails, the rowers of which
were inactive, and seemed to be waiting for something. The
Captain of the corvette immediately put out his boats ; but the
strange vessel having remarked this, rowed off as fast as possible
towards the island, and reached it before the boats could overtake
it. Fifteen men who were on board landed precipitately, and the
vessel was taken. Soon afterwards the Ipsariot brig, the Rival,
appeared, and informed the English Captain that it had perceived
another large boat on the other side of the island towards the south.
The Rose immediately proceeded thither, and discovered two boats
concealed among the rocks near Anti-Ipsara. As it was to be pre-
sumed that they were pirates, Mr. Lyons, the First Lieutenant, was
sent to reconnoitre, and having convinced himself of the fact, he
made a signal to the armed boats, which soon cam: up, under the
command of Lieutenant Stopford. A long galley-boat (caique)
having been seen near the Isle of Ipsara, a boat was sent to recon-
noitre, which was fired upon by the Greeks, who were concealed
,anadndeaupost an-
chor the rocks. The English boat fell back, but had no person
wounded.

the First Lieutenant returned from his expedition, having cap-

tared the two boats, and an armed sacoleve with its crew. The
Captain of the corvette having questioned the men, whom be
found to be pirates, caused all the goods to be brought on board,
and burnt the boats and tit; sacoleve. The men were delivered
up to Captain Hamilton.
Immediately after this all the boats were sent to this galley-
boat which had been sunk, and in order to protect the men who
were ordered to get it afloat, the corvette fired two broadsides upon
the heights occupied by the pirates, who seemed resolved to de-
fend their boat ; they immediately took flight, and a landing was
effected. But night coming on the galley-boat was not taken and
burnt till the next day.

is not yet done with the members of the late conspi-

ST. PETERSBUROU, FEB. £B.

According to public reports, several state prisoners from the
kingdom of Poland, have lately been brought to this city. The
Government .has not yet published any official account of the
secret illegal associations which were discovered in that kingdom
last year, at the same, time with those in Russia, and the exist-
ence of which was shown, even by the report of the Commission
appointed by the Emperor to conduct the proceedings against the
Russian conspirators.

Dutch Papers of the 17th inst. have been received
this morning. They contain the following particulars
respecting the war in Batavia

HAARLISI, ELARCH 16,

The Batavia Journal of the 4th of November last, mentions
some further particulars of the military operations in the territo-
ries of the Princes, from which it appears, that though the resist-
ance of the Javanese Insurgents still continues, the Netherland
troops, and those of the Allies, have always the advantage. The
Insurgents, after being driven from the district of Gavok, as-
sembled again not far from Socracarta, and as it seems again
threatened that capital, but the Sultan went against them on the
19th of October with his own troops, supported by a small de-
tachment of. Netherland soldiers, and put them to flight.

On the same day General Van Geen having received reinforce-
ments, reviewed the newly-arrived troops in Boejoelalie. This
reinforcement had enabled him to increase the divisions of
Colonel Cochins and of Majors de Leemo and Lebron to 450 met,
each.

As the mass of the insurgents still hovered about the Klatan
and Djocjocarta, ,Colonel Cochins was to proceed from the former
Place to meet the Commissioners, Witmtinghi and Engelhardt, re-
turning from the latter, and also to throw up a Belding at Delen-
goe. Major Lebron was to accompany them from Delengoe.

We observe that Mr. KENNEDY brings forward to
night A-‘Bill to regulate the Salmon Fisheries of the
Unite4,Kingdom. This is a subject of great impor-
tance to Scotland, and legislating on it requires much
wisdom and caution, as the fortunes of many persons
must be seriously affected
.by it.' The 'Struggle
lies :between. the Upper and the Lower Heritors,
" they are called—that is, between persons whose
properties_. lie. at the mouths' of rivers, and those
who have them situated at a greater distance from
the .sea. Stake nets suit the lower heritors, and
en-lives and haul nets suit the upper.. The law of
Scotland looks with a jealous eye on stake nets, as a
"v4nt opus, but no one denies that they may be em-
ployed in the actual sea, or altum mare. Then comes
a complicated question, where the sea commences and
the river ends, and it generally requires a separate law-
suit,to decide the case of each individual river. The
upper heritors resist stake-nets 9n the specious pre-
tence that it is an unfair style of fishing, and calculated
to destroy the breed of salmon, whilst they them-selves
have these cruives or weirs running across the whole
stream, with only a trap-door for the fish to
enter... In addition to this, a net is: constantly
hauling the principal pools, and one is no sooner on
shore -than another is , started. No doubt the taw
direct* that the, cruives or traps should be open on a
Sunday but at the same time it declares it to bein-
,
competent for any one ..to ernforce tut's- regulation who
bats not, by charter,, a right_ to kill salniOn farther
up the river. Of course the cruit!'es are never open
but on compulsion, so ihat the charge of poaching-
tomes _with a bad grace fioui the upper- heritors,
themselves the most shameless of poaehers.
It appears to us that the law should be settled on
this point, but that the Legislature has to consider
prhieipally the interest of the public, by per-
eetuating the supply of salmon. We are not
for disregarding vested rights, but at the same
time, is it not hard that a man who has, what
was intended to be, an unlimited privilege of
killingg; salmon conferred by _ a Royal Charter, i
specifying at length the names of all nets and other
implements known at the period—is it not hard
that he should be prevented from keeping pace with
the 'improvements of the age, by altering a yair or
wicker-work snare for salmon, into a stake net ,or. any
other contrivance which does not tend to the extirpa-
tion of the breed of salmon? We are satisfied that
these stake nets, proper regulations as to the size
of the meshes, and by being kept clear of sea-weed,
would be less destructive than the old-fashioned yairs
out of which cart loads of fry are often taken for
manure. These, if caught in stake-nets, when full
grown,
-make a great appearance, and the upper he-
ritors
fancy that they should have had them all but
for the stake-nets, whereas the yairs might have de-
stroyed, as fry, a still greater number of fish.

In another column will be found a report of the
Proceedings at the Bank of England this day. The
public had been looking with much curiosity to this
Meeting, and the result will not afford them much
-satisfaction. A dividend of Four per Cent. has been
declared, and in answer to a question from Mr.
YOUNG, the amount of the present circulation of Bank-
notes is twenty-one millions, including the issue from
th Branch Banks. To another question the Chair-
man said, that a very small proportion of this sum
h
ad been issued from the Branch Banks. Mr. YOUNG
further asked whether it had been determined to ad-
vance any money upon Exchequer Bills, or on loans to
Government, but the Chairman was not prepared
to answer such delicate questions. He knew that ru-
mours to this effect had been circulated, for interested
