SEPT. 28.—We have jnst learnt the (hinge in the plan of the journey of the King of Eng land, who will not visit our city. A courier has artived on his way to Hamhnrgli and Stutgard to in vite his Majesty's sisters, the Landgravine of Hesse Homburg, and the Queen of Wirtemberg. to join him at Hanover. Another courier has gone to Durlach, where the two Princes of Brunswick are on a visit to their great aunt, the Dowager Margrarine of Baden. The eld est of these Princes, who is now entering his lSth year is to be sled tred of age, to he released from the guar dianship of the King of England, and to be installed by his Majesty, during his visit on the continent, as Sovereign of thc Duchy of Brunswick, which has been nn.ler the administration of the King of England' ever since the death of the late Duke at Quatre Bras. II NOVFI, SEPT. tl9.—His Majesty, our Sovereign, wh.l is expect:4l here oa the 4th or 6th, will throw off the iitrognito on entering our territory. The neces sary orders have been given for his Majesty's reception at Osnabruck. The King will sleep at Diepholz or Nienborg. The second regiment of Hussars has set out to escort his Majesty. Onr Sovereign will pro ceed from this place to Gottingen. Among the fo rAgners of distinction expected here is the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria. It is said that the King of Prussia will send the Counts tie Tanenzien, f'e liorstel, toil de Natzmer, to compliment our Sovereign. The troops ordered to assemble in our town and the neigh hoof hood are arrived, and we are in daily expectation of the arrival of Count tie Munster from Dernebonrg. IfAxovEn, SEPT. 30.—His Majesty the King is ex p-rted here about the 6th of October. On account of a misunderstanding between the Duke of Cambridge and the Elector of Hesse Cassel, his Majesty is ex peered to come by the Osnahurg road, which, in the rr4.seat unfavourable state of the weather, is none of the best. Oc.r. s.—By the accounts received yesterday from Aix-la-Chapelle, we have learnt that his Majesty, hay staved a day longer at Brussels, would not be at A no-Chapelle till the !Id. fly the accounts received tf is morning from Munster (where General Bloom t;-.'.I hail already arrived), we find that his Majesty it..entled to stop a day at Dusseldorf. and conse c.:ontly would not enter his German dominions till to.morrow. Between Munster and Osnaburg his Ma j.'s'y will not take the way first proposed, by Lingeuch, but that by Glantlorff. All along the road prepara tions are making, as well as the shortness of the time will permit, • to express the joy of the people at se , ine his Majesty in this part of his dominions.— All the way from the frontiers triumphal arches ate erected; at Osnobnrg a numerous guard of ho roar, bolt hone and foot, has been formed, and the •sawte at Nieubnrg, for the conveyance of the imme diate attendants of his Majesty. Orders are given at every,stage to have relays in (readiness besides the !wises for the King's carriage,) horses for two bulnics, with six horses, a baggage waggon with six horses, two chaises with fonr horses each, and two common horses. Besides these, four carriages and thirteen I,..!rses are required for the Marquess of Londonderry and General Bloomfield, who were to arrive at Osna- 1 burg yesterday, and come here before his Majesty. Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes and Duchess of Cornberland, were pleased, yesterday, to admit the Di plomatic Body to an audience. Arrived their Serene Highnesses Prince Frederick of and the Prince of Tour and Taxis ; the Russian Ambassador Baron Coniken ; the Prussian Ambassador Grote: and the IVirtemberg Ambassador Count r. en -erotl e. The Dukes of Brunswick arrived here yesterdey, and occupy the apartments prepared for them at Montrellant. Her Royal Highness the Landgravine of Hesse Dom htorg is expected about the middle of this month. The day is not yet fixed for the solemn public entry of his kb; jesty into this city. Ailvices from Angshurg, October 1, state that a meeting► of Sovereigns, to take place at Leipzig, is vsognely spoken of. The Kings of England, Prussia, and Saxony are mentioned ; lost letters ftom Vienna still affirm, that his Britannic Majesty was to arrive there in thy middle of October. Our politicians pretend that the Kings of Bavaria and Wurtemburg are to go to Leipzig. Extract of a private letter received last night from Munster. dated October 4, 1821 ;—This morning, at four o'clock, as I was setting out from Dorsten, a little town on the fr►ntiers of Westphalia, an estafette ar rive►l with iestrnetions to the Pust•master that his Ma jesty, Count Lunenberg, had determined not to leave Dussehlorff till to-morrow. and countermanding, till then, the orders which had been previously issued for silty-three horses. '1 he roads ail through the Prussian territory are in a state not to he described ; and, where aver the traveller has not to encounter swamps and quagmires, he is anre to find bio►self immersed in sand upon some desert heath. The man who has once made the journey from Oberhausen to I)orsteo will he sure to reosember it all the days of his life. His Majesty, however, advances resolutely over tracts where his carriage-whee 4 are up to the azletree in mud, and he is never beard to complain of fatigue or inconvenience. The Marquess of humlonderry and Sir Benjamin Bloomfield contrive. by rising at a very early hour, an►i by additional horses, to keep a day's journey in aoica nee of his Majesty. While stopping at the little town of Duluien., to change horses. I found the Duke of Croy (one of the mediatizeil Prinees of the Confederation oldie Rhine. under Bonaparte) standing at the door of the post house. Ile immediately entered into conversation with an English gentleman who accompanied me, and, after tolling hiot that he had once been a n independent l'rinrr, shook his head, and expressed his regret that In bait not now the means of giving a suitable recep tion to our Sovereign, who, as he could learn from the 31arques4 of Londonderry, intended to • call •at his chateau in passing through the town. Ile then asked what vi.tnds his Majesty liked best, in prder that be might provide Min with an agreeable repast. But this was too puzzling a question for my fellpw-traveller to answer, and he evaded a direct reply by siying that THE STATES .. the table of his Grace would iloubtl-ss afford bin Ala -I jesty an ample variety from which he might make a se lection to his palate. I am still upwar.is of 120 English miles from the Hanoverian capital, and I understand the roads thither are even worse than those I have .already passed.— His Majesty, I am happy to find, will return by a less arduous. or rather less perilous route, though it will comprise a much greater number of German miles. The town whence I date this letter is finely situated on a plain not far from the EMS, and contains about ' 15,000 inhabitants. The trade carried on here is very inconsiderable, and I am informed that the place is falling rapidly into decay under the Prussian Govern ment. PRICK OF STOCKS Tl4lB Hank Stork 83811 S per Cent.

This was• the only day on which the Harvest work met with any in terruption. On several farms the corn , was all cut by the ► lth ; a great many concluded from the 13th to the 19th, and by the end of the month it was almost all in the sheaf ; and in the lower part of, the country nearly all in the barn yard. The anticipations of a , late harvest, and an indifferent crop, which were en tertained by many, so late as the middle of Jaly, are completely frustrated. The wheat is allowed to be above an average, and universally of tine quality: and from the quantity sown, one-third More bolls than usual will come to the market. Beans and early sown barley are a fair average, but the latter, where sown late, falls short of a full crop. Peas, owing to the season, exceed their early proiuise. Oats, uts all good soils, though generally shorter than ordinary is the straw, turn out a full average. There is not one sheaf of any kind of grain damaged by the weather, either in this conntkor in the rieinity. Turnipsin ge neral have a fair appearance. Potatoes ate ,good quality, but short of an average. crop ; they, kowevor, improved greatly in • the course of the month, anti He: . . still increasing in bilk. LONDON: FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12, IS2I. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols opened this morning at 771 78 both for Money and the Account ; and for November 7SU. The market continues to look np. A Ministerial Paper of last night presented us with an °cline of the produce of the last Quarter's Re venue, and another journal of the same description has this morning favoured us with some additional views and details. In another column we have inserted the whole of the former statement, and such a portion of the latter as to convey a competent notion to our readers of the state of the public finance s, or rather of the representations of it which the iinisters think proper to exhibit. In making up an abridgment of accompts that are complicated and voluminous, every one ac quainted with their nature know that there is little diffi culty in giving it a colour, according to the accompt ant's wish. It is the lot of few, of very few indeed, to pos sess the clear discernment and indefatigable persever ance which are united in that admirable guardian of the peoples' rights and property, JOSEPH WU E. It is not easy to unravel the web, to detect the artifice, or to ex pose the gloss with which the returns of such a Revenue as more than fifty millions a year may be mixed up.— There is no doubt the usual portion of dexterity em ployed to make this Quarter's produce appear as flat tering as possible. With this allowance, which must be admitted by the advocates of Ministers themselves, N ince the artifice is obvious in some of the comparative statements which their official agents have presented, it must be acknowledged that a considerable, improve ment in the Revenue appears to have taken place, even exceeding that which we mentioned on the authority of our Exchange reporter yesterday. Acconling to the statements to which we ;divide, the amount of the last quarter's produce exceeds that of the correspond ing- quarter of last year, by no less than 537,2641. — This is certainly a very weighty sum, and it looks the better, because the largest portion arises from the en crease of a voluntary branch of taxes, by the aug mented consumption of articles which people had the option of refusing. These articles are such as are arranged under the head of Excise, and which, ac• cording to this account, exceed the produce of the for mer corresponding quarter by upwards of five hundred and ninety thousand pounds. This is unquestionably a favourable symptom. It is pleasing, as a token of encreased ability on the part of the public; it is an in dex of an increase in their comforts and enjoyments. This is as it should he; and it arises from that alter- ation in the relative valne of money, by which the wages of workmen and the resources of the people in general, enable their possessors to apply their incomes to some of the little luxuries besides the necessari-s of life. With an income of 30s. a week, the (artily of a labouring man, when bread was eighteen-pence the quartern loaf, and meat was nine pence or ten pence per pound, paid about two-thirds of his wages to the baker and butcher ; but at the price of bread and meat the beginning of the last quarter, their expense for similar articles, if they went to a cheap market, would not much exceed a third. They would at least have seven or eight shillings saved, which they could ex pend on other articles they desired; and hence the Revenue of the State from the Excise duties on ~those articles, as well as the comforts of the people have ircreased. The statement of the last quarter's revenue we would, therefore, always have those gen- tlemen keep in mind, who had been repeatedly telling us that the high prices of the necessaries of life were not injurious to the nation. Little as these gentlemen, the agricultural gentlemen we mean, may enter into our feelings respecting the comforts of the labouring classes, we truly sympathise with those of their frater nity who have.suffered from the late reduction in the, price of agricultural produce. They, however, being gentlemen of influence, have means of relief to which they may resort. They may urge their landlords to re duce their rents, and the government their taxes, so that their produce may come to market at what they call a fair remunerating price. But much as we feel for their ditficuhies, we feel still more fur those of the great body of the people; and finding their circumstances improve, we rejoice. The Cit.isceLt.oa of the EXCIIEQCER also mutt rejoice on the same account ; and se trust that in his future measures of finance, he will consider the source from which the surplus of the present quar ter's revenue arises, and remember that the people con- tri me won cheerfully and largely m the State when •heir domestic 'circumstances are readered more com fortable and easy.
