DcITCH PAPERS.

AMSTERDAM, JULY 21.

The Minister of Marine and Colonies has received
from his Excellency the Duke of Reggio, tlae follow-
ing Regulation, decreed by his Excellency the Mar-
shal Duke of Reggio, Commander-in-Chief of the
Corps of Observatio% in Holland, with respect to the
Fishery for Fresh Fish :

" Whereas the Fishery for Fresh Fish, which constitutes the
only means of Subsistence of the Inhabitants of the Coasts, and
the Villages thereon, cannot be prohibited without injuring the
most in•igent class of the people; and his Excellency, considering
that, in authorising the continuance of the Fishery, it ip essential
that measures should be Liken to prevent fraud, and obstruct any
communication with the enemy, he ordains as follows:
" 1. Every fishing vessel whatsoever, before going to sea, must
be yrtivided with a permit, specifying the name or number, and
form of the vessel, the names, descriptions, and residence, of the
crew, and the name of the owner of the vessel. This permit shall
be greed by the Military Commandant of the district in which
the master of the vessel rt'ides.

" 8. Every time that a fishing-boat leaves the shore, she shall
be visited by the Custom-house officers, and her permit inspected
by the Commandant of the military post established on the coast,
or in the village nearest to the point of departure. If the fishing-
boat sails from a port or roadstead, her permit shall in that case
be inspected and verified by the-Commander of the guard-ship in
the road, and she shall be visited by the Custom-house officers.
" 3. No vessel, either at her departure or on her return, shall
pass the guard ship without being visited and having her permit
verified by the Custom-house officer of the last post.
" 4. In case, from unforeseen circumstances, fishing boats shall
have been obliged to hold communication with the enemy, they
&All, on their return, forthwith report the same to the Comman-
der of the guard-ship, or the nearest post to their place of landirg.
" 5. Fishing-boats shall, in no case, put to sea before the morn-
ing gun, nor return after the evening gun, without having ob-
tained permission. Should circumstances compel them to land
after the evening gun, they shall thercofinform the Commandant
Of the nearest post to the place where they shall have stopped.
" 6. Fishing-vessels or boats shall take on hoard only such ar-
ticles and provisions as shall be necesszry for their use, during the
time they may be supposed to be at sea. Every article, except
what belongs to their occupation, found on beard at their depar-
ture or return, shall be confiscated.
" 7. Fishing-boats along the coasts shall not, unless from un.
foreseen accident, remain at sea more than eight and forty hours,
the time shall be reckoned from the last examination of their
'erotic.
" 8. A French soldier shall be put on board each of the fishing
boats, the metiers of which are suspected of smuggling or com-
municating *lth the enemy; and in case of the capture of any of
those soldiers by the enemy, the fishery shall be instantly pro-
hibited, and a general embargo laid on all the vessels therein em-
ployed. In short, the village where the fishermen resides ,hail be
exemplarily punished.
"9. The vessels employed in the herring and salted-cod fishery
shall net put to sea until the Marshal Duke of Rtggio shall have
hem authorised to make a regulation with resin ct to them.
" 10. Every fishing-vessel, not havtng on board, at her return,
the crew specified in her permit, shalt be sequestrated. A proces-
enrlsal shall be made of the number oilmen, articles, papers, mer-
chandise, mid goods on board at the time of sequestration. The
master shall be forwarded from post to post, to the head-quarters,
together with a copy of the prow-verbal of the sequestration, and
the papers found on board.
" llr The same measures shall be taken with regard to fishing
vessels, in which merehandize of English manufacture, or colonial
produce, may be found. (Signed)

Publishes the same regulation, for the benefit of all
those whom it concerns, ordering them strictly to con-
form themselves thereto. VAN DER fIEIM,

A letter brought by the SNAPPER, arrived at Ply-
mouth, dated on board the GIBRALTAR, in Basque
Roads, the 13th instant, states as follows I have
this moment learnt, by a Torbay sloop, which left
Quibtr art Bay yesterday morning, that the Hero pri-
vateer, belonging to Guernsey, has been captured in
the above Bay, and carried into Belleisle, by a French
lugger, of 18 guns, after an action of one hour and
23 minutes. Letters from the St:ay-Elm-tyre frigate.
dated the 9th instant, (which ship was then at anchor
in Quiberon Bay) state nothing of the circarnstance ;
yet some credit is to be attached to the report, as the
master of the sloop informs me, that a number of
people at Hedie (at which island he procured water)
saw the action, and informed him of every particular."

Two soldiers, Joux atm and THOMAS anntoce,
belonging to the 87th Regiment, who were taken pri-
soners at the battle of ralavera, in company with a
German, who was taken in the Spanish service at the
siege of Saragossa, made their escape from Rochelle,
on the night of the 6th instant, in an open boat,
which they swam to and cut from the stern of an
American vessel lying there, and fortunately got on
board his Majesty's ship COUNAGEUX. They state,
that throughout the whole of the country they had
been marched—from Talavera to Bayonne, from
Bayonne to Angouleme, from Angouleme to Roche-
fort, and thence to Rochelle, the greatest plenty and
abundance prevailed ; they were every where treated
with kindness. Many hundreds of the English priso-
ners were employed in agriculture and other work.—
At Rochelle there are 3000 prisoners, and so little
restraint are they kept under, that they might all
make their escape, had they the means of reaching
our shipping that lie cuff the coast.

The French provisional Government has already,
given a proof of that " parental protection" which,
according to CIIAMPAGNY'S letter, the inhabitants of
Holland are to derive from the annexation of their
country to France. The fisheries, from which thou-
sands derived their subsistence, are subjected to a code
of regulations dictated by the grossest ignorance, or
' most unfeeling tyranny. According to one of these,
a French soldier is to be put on board of every boat
going out to fish, the master of which is suspected of
engaging in clandestine trade ; and if he should be
taken, a general embargo on all fishing vessels is to
11 take place throughout Holland ! !
I An article from Amsterdam notices the transport
of provisions in great quantities in the kingdom of
Naples, and that the preparations for an important
expedition might be considered complete.
Several persons who have arrived from the Dutch

coast, in the course of the two last days, state that
NAPOLEON was shortly expected at Amsterdam. His
visit was supposed to be for the purpose of inspecting
the armament previous to its departure.

We are concerned to state, that by accounts from
Sicily it appears that the state of public affairs is far
from being pleasing ; that the public mind is in a
great state of ferment ; and that the sentiments of the
Court and at British head-quarters are not so cordial
towards each other as could be wished at a moment
when the common enemy threatens equal destruction
to both, and has many partizans in the island ready
to take advantage of every even.. The malcontents
are represented as being formidable, both from their
numbers and povren The Parliament, that spectre I
of the ancient constitutional authority, was assembled I
in March last, and to the astonishment and dismay of i
the Court, it resumed a degree of its former spirit; and
asserted the right of examining the demands of the G-
overnment for new supplies. Instead of implicitly com-
plying with the mandate, they did not even grant the
sums necessary to carry on the course of Government,
much less to provide for the defence of the state under
its present alarming danger. In consequence ofthis pro-
ceeding, his Sicilian Majesty suspended the Assem-
bly, and submitted their Resolutions to an especial
Commission on the score of informality. In the I
mean time, by the explosion of this national spirit, the ,
French party in the Island has become more auda-
cious—and the most incendiary Addresses to the peo-
pie have been distributed in profusion.—These have
been republished by the English with marginal ani-
madversions—a
measure, of which their Majesties
loudly complain, because in these marginal notes the
British Commander seems only solicitous to acquit
his own countrymen of the insidious designs imputed
to them by the French, but takes very little pains to
justify the Court of Palermo from the gross and scan-
dalous charges brought against the Government. In
the STAR of the 29th ult. we gave one of these ad-
drgses.—Mattcrs are evidently coming to a crisis
in that quarter. The enemy has for some time
been preparing for a descent on the island ; and Mi-
nisters, we understand, mean immediately to send an
accredited agent (Mr. CANNING, if we are rightly in-
formed) with full powers to satisfy :heir Majesties of
our good dispositions towards them, and of our reso-
lution to defend the Island against the utmost power
of the French.

We have letters from Boston, with a regular file of
papers, to the date of the 26th ultimo. The following
is the only intelligence of importance :

" BOSTON, JUNE 24.

" I.etters from Washington 'Erectly contradict the report of a
speedy call of Congress. Of course the statements respecting an
Embargo and Non-Intercourse Law are mere fabrications. It is
ascertained as a fact, that Congress `►ill not meet before the usual
period, and the dispatches by the John Adams do not require the
additional assistance of that Body."

Government have received the following intelli-
gence :—Captain MrNzIE, of the AnErnusA, having,
on •the 25th ult. had a communication with the Junta
of Gallica and Asturias, took on board his ship arid
cther vessels, 500 Spaniards, under a Spanish Gene-
ral, and secured the whole coast of Spain from
Bayonne to Cape Ortega'. He destroyed 200 French-
men, spiked 100 pieces of cannon, and took Santano,
but was unable to make himself master of Castras.
All this was effected without the loss of a man. The
Spanish force we took on board was increased by SW
Spaniards, who were rescued from the enemy during
this dashing expedition. The particulars will appear
in the Gazette of this evening.

It is a circumstance not undeserving of notice, that
in a recent decree 'for new regulating the Appeal
Courts throughout the French Empire, the post of
honour in the order of enactment is assigned to that
of Ajaccio, the birth-place of NAPOLEON.
On the 23d, and two following nights, in conse-
quence of the marriage nt the Princess D. MARIA
THERESA, the eldest daughter of his Royal Highness
the PRINCE REGENT of PORTCGAL, to the Infant of
Spain 1). PEDRO CARLOS, the house of the Portuguese
Minister was brilliantly illuminated. A great crowd
assembled every night before the house, and greeted
the event with music, acclamations, and dances.

The hereditary Prince of MEKLENBERG SCHWERIN
was married on the Ist instant, to Princess CAROLINA
of Saxe Weimar.
