ANGLING.

All the different species of fresh-water fish will take a bait this
month ; and barbel, roach, dace, and perch, are now coming into
good condition for the table, having nearly recoiered their strength
from their late spawning : but the angler must not expect much
sport during the hot, bright days of August ; his only chance of
success is to fish a few hours after the earliest dawn of day, and
again in the evening, until quite dark, or during the night. Salmon
and trout continue still to be worth taking and dressing, but they
are generally rather shy and capricious as it respects the bait and
feeding during the month of August.
The barbel fisher in the river Thames may expect good sport this
month, but he will have better in September ; live minnows and
shrimps now begin to be valuable in perch-angling. In ponds, pools,
meers, broads, ducks, and reservoirs, perch, tarp, tench, eels, roach,
dace, bream, flounders, and smelts, winnow take a baits morning,
noon, and night.

RUM DUTIES.

C..nnittee on the Itum Act, the ClifixcEr.i.ort of the Err-
ottuurr, proposed resolutions to take off the duty of o: v! and
!lie penny halfpenny on the gallon of rum in England and Ireland.
!he duty of two shillings and twopence on ruin above root was
.Ist, to cease and determine.
After a conversation between the CHANCELLOR of the EV:OF.-
Cktli, Mr. GORDPN, Mr. Heal; Mr. F. Lim's, Mr. W. SMITH, UOII
Yr. EnicnT, the Resolutions were agreed to.
The ;Seer Duties -.vas reported, the resolutions agreed to, and a
13111 ordered to be brought in.
The other Orders were disposed of, and the House adjourned at
One o'clock.

Parliament will be adjourned for the Easter Recess
on Thursday next, winch is Maunday Thursday, and
the adjournment will Ee till Monday, May 3, which is
3 period of 17 days; a much longer recess than has
teen observed for many Se;sioins past. Such is the
lorward state of the public business, that is, the mea-
.,ures which it depends more immediately on the Mi-
nisters to bring forward, that it is calculated the prom-
Anion of Parliament will take place as early as the
I3th of Jun::! This will make site Session almost un-
precedentedly short; meeting in February and pro-
togning in June, there being in the meantime nearly
weeks holidays, and several days in which there
were "no Houses." Useful business, rather than specu-
lative deliatei, has saved much time.
The First Volume of Mr. GODWIN'S History of the
'nmmonwealth, which has just appeared, comprises the evrnts of
•.u, Civil War, and is therefore a Work complete in itself. The
luring of which it treats answers to nearly the whole of Lord Clit-
enrion's History. It ea:tains, therefore, a much inure colleen-
.:a..tyd view of the subject, and, though written with strict impar-
• '.,ity,jenuives mans of tbo.e gaudy and delusive misrepresuita-
, o watch distitizoish the narratives of the royalist libtoiics.

titles of which he read on his return (for which see the Lords'
Report).
Mr. H. DAVIES presented a Petition from Bristol, signed by
800 individuals, praying for the gradual abolition of Slavery in
the West Indies.—Ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. SMYTH presented a Petition front Drogheda, on the sub-
ject of County Assessments.
Sir J. NEWPORT supported the prayer of the Petition.
Lord A. HAM IL'I'ON presented a Petition from an individual
of the name of David Urrie, a sailor, praying for compensation
for a wound received in his Majesty's service.
Sir G. CLERK said, that the Petitioner had previously ap-
plied to the Admiralty; but it was the practice of that Body not
to grant pensions for wounds without the production of a smart
ticket or a certificate front the surgeon. The Petitioner had no
smart ticket, and upon reference to the surgeon's journal there was
no evidence of his having been wounded at all. Under these cir-
cumstances, the application was refused.
After a few words front Sir I. COFFIN, the Petition was ordered
to lie on the table.
The LORD ADVOCATE presented a Petition from the
Church of Scotland against the Poor Regulation Bill.
After a few words from Mr. KENNEDY, the Petition was ordered
to be laid on the table.
Mr. MA [MICE FITZGERALD (the Knight of Kerry) pre-
sented
a Petition from two Irish Gentlemen, named Devereux and
M'Donald, which the Honourable Membet considered well de-
serving the attention of the Government. The Petitioners stated,
that in one of the Archdioceses of Ireland, in which there were 110
congregations, only four Is id places of worship, 1G places were un-
finished, 66 had only thatched cabins, and there were 24 without
any places of worship at all. The Petitioners stated, that in this
diocese there had not been any disturbance among the people as in
other parts of the country. According to the opinion of the best
historians, the venerable Bede, Camden, and others it would ap-
pear, said the Petitioners, that the English were indebted to the
Irish nation for their civilisation. The Petitioners stated, that as
the Catholics of France provided for the Protestants, who con-
sisted of something more than half a million, or about a one fifty.

READING SAUCE.

T COCKS. the Inventor and Proprietor of the
v., • CELEBRATED IMADING SAUCE, bogs most re-
spectfully to caution the Nobility, Families, and the Public, against
the daily frauds and impositions practised by many London and
Country Oilmen and Fish Stuce Venders, to deceive and deprive
than of the

GENUINE READING SAUCE.
None are genuine but those which have the corks sealed with the
impression, `• J. Cocks, Retain gi" and also the forgiving descrip-
tion of the Sauce on an orange-collured label, " Reading Sauce
for Fish, enriching Gravies, Pte. Prepared and Sold, Wholesale
and Retail, by J. COCKS, Reading."
This Sauce is generally used at table with all sorts of Fish, in
preference to all other Fiah Steers, and is esteemed peculiarly deli-
cious with Game, Wild Fowl, Hashes, Steaks, and Cold Nleat.—
Warranted to keep good Seven Years in any climate. It is
presumed tkat no Sauce ever met with such general approbation
and extensive sale. It is patronised and recommended by most of
the Fixer FAMILIES in the Kingdom, and is retailed in London by
C5O of the most respectable Oilmen and Fish Sauce Venders; in
Path, by 30; Bristol, 42.0 ; Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, and Aber-

" The undersigned Envoy Extraordinary, and Minister
Pkr,ipotentiary of his Majesty the King of Great Bri-
tain, has the honour to lay before the Marquis de Pal-
mella, Minister Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
of his Most Faithful Majesty, the enclosed representa-
tion, which he has received from a number of English
merchants resident in this capital, on account of the
events which have taken place within these few days.
" The undersigned though, as well as the petitioners,
he has no idea of interfering in the internal Government
of his Most Faithful Majesty, or with the ordinary and
legal administration of justice, cannot but feel himself
justified in expres,ing, with them his own uneasiness at
the view of the proeeedings, which have been acknow- 1,
!edged to be irregular and illegal, but which proceed in '
such a manner, and to such an extent, to every class of
peaceful subjects, that if they do not directly compre-
hend the persons and property of the subjects of his
Britannic Majesty, attack indirectly their principal in-
terests, and threaten, by their continuance, to put an
end to all commercial relations between them and the
subjects of his Most Faithful Majesty.
" The undersigned earnestly requests his Excellency
to lay this representation before his Majesty, expressing
to him at the same time his ardent wish that his Majesty
may be pleased to give the most positive orders to put
an end to these iilcgal arrests, and for the restoration of
that regular and legal administration which has for so
many years happily consolidated the interest of the sub-
jects of his Majesty with those of Great Britain.

Thomas received, when in the height of his prosperity, a package
with the following curious direction:
" Deliver this as soon as you can
To Thomas Porter, of Uppingham,

(Abraham and he are brothers ;).

DECRTZE

" RIO EIE JANEIRO, AIAR.CII 17.
" The enemies of the empire not ceasing to employ all tlit:r
efforts for the purpose of promoting its ruin, inspiring tenor
the minds of the unwary, by mans of incendiary proel.tot-ti,)o-,
insolent pasquinades, conceived in the spirit of the letters at:ki :;„r
papers inclosed, which tend only to disturb public order and tral.
quillity, and above ail to violate the liberal system and gnvt-t-in;l:t
generally adopted, and to excite doubts of the constitutional
meats of which I have given the most abundant proofs in the i „i
all Brazil; and some of the criminals accused of such atroci:ea.
being already arrested, and it being very evident that they have
numerous accomplices, all which, however, can be positively prtt„,4
only by au examination of witnesses; I think proper that -;,e
Court liegedor of the Supreme Court of Appeal shall immediattly
proceed, according to the forms of law, into the investigation of
these facts, the papers abovementinned to serve as grounds for the
accusation (corpus dclEcti), and appoint for Judge an 0111.:er of tritd
probity, who shall speedily fulfil this important task, and a Secre-
tary of the best reputation, in order that the persons guilty of tech
great crimes may be tried shortly and summarily, accorci.ng t.,
law ; and that, by means of a salutary example, the evil doera aril
disturbers of the public tranquillity may he checked by the cer.
tainty of prompt punt-hment.

" The said Court Ilegedor shall sec to the execution of the pre.
sent Decree.—Given at the Palace, the Bth March, 1824, the tb:4l

TOWN-HALL.

Three powerful Irishmen, named Ileolliolontrw Hurley, Michad
Touney, and William Disco!, were charged as ringleaders in a Liu:, in
Greta-alley, 'Tuley-street.
The disturbance originated in a party feud, the continued source
of bloodshed and disorder in the neighbour hood, and according t.:
the evidence of Anthony Gorman, also an Irishman, a principa
sufferer, and otht re, it commenced in the ptildia.house of Mr.
Leary, where he (Gorm4n) wai acchlent,,lly met by the three
soners yesterday morning, and fallen real of with menacing tst:Lt
the effects of a cherished grudge; and between whom and the pr.-
sorter Hurley a fight afterwards took place, when Hurley, Lau:ng
his nose split and his left eye clnsed, and likely to he beater:, the
other two made a savage ru tyrin hbi antagonist, and best rant
into a stare of insensibility, covered with blood. _

John Kinsey, the officer, stated, Cost in consequence of inform•
thin that a man was killed, he repaired to the spot, armed,
:.t-
-tended by assistants, and found upwards of 300 persons ctilec:e..
of the prisoners' faction. Having, after a tlmper.:te rests:...rce. se-
cured the three men at the bar, and scut them in cLst,,cly :o t!t-
Borough Compter, his attention was turned to the protection of
the prosecutor's life, which would, douhtie.s, bat r,r
interference, have been sacrificed to the ft.ry of the :Lob, and ear—
-1
ducted him to a place of safety, surrounded by the cutlasses aro;
pistols of his party.
The jacket of the prosecutor, steed in blood, was Traduced.
The prisoners Driseol and Purley being- proved atTr,,surF, w re
ordered to find voil bail, and discharged, autnoia-
tion, it appearing he was less implicated.

FUNERAL OF MR. HARRIS.

Yesterday being appointed ft.r the funeral of the
above unfortunate Gentleman, every preparation was
made to remove his remains to their last abode,i and the
interest excited on the occasion was so excessive, that
or hours before the melancholy procession took place,
crowds of persons began to assemble round his late re-
sidence in London-street, Tottenham-court-road, which
was rendered completely impassable until four o'clock,
when all the necessary arrangements were completed
for the funeral. A feeling of commiseration seemed
to diffuse itself among the spectators, in consequence of
the lamentable cause of his dissolution, and the distress-
ing situation of his wife and family.
The mourners, among whom were sever al of the de-
ceased's relatives, attended during the whole of the day.
At about three o'clock the undertaker arrived, with
two mutes, who were in their robes, and stationed
themselves at the door, while the undertaker, &c. fas-
tened the coffin, and adjusted the mourners. By four
o'clock the coffin was brought from the house, and bore
an inscription of the name, age, and the day of the de-
ceased's death. It was covered with a rich pall, aad
supported by four individuals.
The procession was preceded by the undertaker and
two mutes, with staves. The mourners consisted of
twelve persons, headed by Mrs. Harris and her dari:,h-
ter, a fine girl, about twelve or thirteen years 61. age.
The procession moved slowly on, down Tottenllam-
court-road, Hampstead-road, and so on, until tikey ar-
rived at St. James's Chapel, Hampstead-road, vv/;,A-e r he
remains of the deceased were deposited in a deep grave.
The church-yard was excessively crowded, and dur-
ing the procession, the heads of the inhabitants were
protruding hum their w indows tc the extent of the
streets to view the ceremony ; and the throng pressed
forward with so touch anxiety to gain a glare,: uf the
wife and child, that they had some difficulty to proceed.

Mr. KEW, the tragedian, crossed from Brighton to
Dieppe, in an ppm boat, with borne Gentkm::: hunt Hull, on
Friday last.

ODESSA, MAY s.

We have now farther information fully confirming
what we have before received respecting the late rego-
ciations in Constantinople, in which Lord Strangford
probably obtained more influence by his declaration
that all the English had been recalled by the Blitiblt
Cabinet from the Greek set vice. Some days previous
to the conferences of the 27th of April, the Turkish
Ministry had presented a memorandum to his Lon!.
ship, in which the Porte complained bittetly of the
lonian Government, and of the English in the service
of the Greeks. Lord Strangford, in return, presented a
very circumstantial Note, in which he iutt oduced the
demand for the evacuation of the principalities of Mol-
davia and Wallachia. Thus matters stood when Said
Effendi fixed the 27th April for a conference, at which
his Lordship succeeded in obtaining a promise of the
evacuation of those countries. We shall publish both
documents, to support our statements.
A private letter from Constantinople, of the 30th
April, which was received yesterday, but the authority
of which cannot be warranted, says, a the Porte :4-
, ceived, on the 9.3 d Apt il, some disagreeable news frcm
Egypt, which it takes pains to conceal, and the part;•
culars of which are not even now known ;" but as the
letter ends with the words Vous peuvex .;tre Tee
c'est rut coup mangue," it is not impossible that these ac-
counts from Egypt may have had their share in chang-
ing the sentiments of the Turkish Ministers, :!rd arrived
just in time to Second the views of the able British
negotiator.

This morning we received intelligence from Bayonne
to the '26th ult. It consists of the usual deta;ll of dis-
content among the people, poverty in the Government,
and movements of French troops, and is not worth
transcr;bing.

PARIS, APRIL 5.
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES,
SITTING OF SATURDAY.

His Excellency the Minister of Finance mounted the Tribune
and spoke as follows:
" Several favourable causes have carried our Rentes above par.
Amongst these cruses is the state of our fi::ancer, which guaran.
tees our institutions. Our punctuality to satisfy our engagements
preserves to us a great advantage. Our .credit at this moment
experiences a sensible effect from transitory circumstances.
Amongst the number of those, I shall mention one which has given
an elevation to the course of our Public Funds, which is the last
Loan, the operations of which are taking place in a neighbouring
country. Our Rentes have sold above par, with the knowledge
of an approaching reimbursement, or of a reduction of interest
to four per cent. They would b• at 110 or 115 if the wish of the
Government had not disclosed their intentions.

" The perpetual debt of the State is 197,014,892 francs of Five
per Cent. Itentes. From that sum must be deducted fifty-seven
millions of Itentes which belong to the State : then remains 140
millions of Rentes, which we ask you to give us power to convert
into 112 millions of Three per Cent. Reines, or to reimburse,
if the holders prefer it.
" The plan of this Project has been conceived in the most sim-
ple terms : it aims to authorize the substitution of the Thre e per
Cents. for the Five per Cents. either by voluntary will, or by nego-
tiating the Three per Cents. to reimburse the Five per Cists."

The Project of Law authorises the Minister to con-
vert the Five per Cents. into Three per Cents, either by
reducing the Stock of such holders as assent to the
change, or by paying off all such as may prefer money.
—The new loan contracted for by Messrs. BARING,
ROTHSCHILD, and LAT ITTE, alluded to in the Speech of
the Finance Minister, is intended to enable the French
Government to carry this operation into effect.
