AUGUST 2.—The agreeable intelligence has just reached us of the arrival at Pettowsky Dwaretz of the Emperor and Empress. An immense crowd had gone to meet them. The Prince Charles of Prussia accompanied their Majesties. The day of their solemn entrance to this capital is not yet fixed. TURKEY. ----__ _ CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 25. When the Sultan went on the 16th to the lilosque, to celebrate the holyday of the Little Miran), a great dejection was observed in the people. The Sultan was on that occasion accompanied by the new troops in uniform ; and on the third day of the lisiram, instead of the customary rejoicings, there were grand marneuvrea at Dolma Bak:che of three battalions of the new troops, with 2.1 pieces of cannon, which lasted several hours, under the direction of the Se 'anklet. The Sultan and a great number of spectators were present. Several threatening placards have appeared is divers streets. The Smokier is not spared in them, and is reproached with his original condition of a common porter. The Greek and Armenian pa triarchs, and the Jewish Rabbis, have been called, and de•ired to cancert on a plan of contributions, to be levied on the people of their different persuasions. They were told that it was nut the in tention of the Government to enforce any increase of the regular taxes, but it was wished that every one should contribute according to his beat means. Ibrahim Pacha has been smile time engaged in negotiating with the Mainotes, but has no tsucceeded in bringing them to any terms. Thty have retired to their mountains. They wilt( from Ancona that private !eters from Corfu mention the arrival of Loot Cochrane at Napoli di Romania, which took place at.the end of July ; but there is no direct intelligence. MADAM, AVG. 22. The Duke del Infantado, after his resignation, was accepted went publicly to Court. He is not banished, and therefore his resigna tion has been perfectly voluntary. He is a true nobleman and per fect chevalier. He is generous, but he is neither fond of pomp nor of ceremony. Ile entertained the King at his own expense at Guadalajara, lent him money, never received any emolument, and always gave proofs of tlisintemstedness. He was agreeable to the Infants, to the Royalist party, and to the Clergy. He was an enemy to embezzlement, atal it is not extraordinary that he has had enemies. It is suppostd that he will be succeeded by the Duke of San Carlos, who has set out from St. Petersburgh to return to Spain. The Duke del Infantado had resolved some time ago to resign, and nothing could prevent his taking this step. A Turkish squadron of 22 sail has been detached from the fleet of the Capitan l'acha, who continues at his station near tbe Duda !ldiot. It proceeded towards the coast of Egypt, and it is believed that Its destination is Alexandria, from which it is to escort the re enforcements and warlike stores which Ibrahim expects from Egypt. Ibrahim has not made any important movement, and Hydra is the only point in Greece where any resistance has been rrepared. [from the rranlfie Journal.] 531 RNA. Most of the measures taken at Constantinople, to prevent the monopoly of neeeparics, have to en introduced at Smyrna. Com motion. Ilamilton had received from Canaria a letter of recommen- dation its favour of an unfortunate female, whose son was a slave at Smyrna. A subscription was opened on board the Revenge, and in less than an hour lie had the satisfaction to advance the sum which the owner the slave demanded for his ransom. Dr. Baiily, notwithstandinc the innumerable difficulties opposed to his proceedings, has succeeded in applying his admirable discoveries in the case oft. c intermittent fever at Napoli di Romania.

The new Ministers went last Sunday to the Palace of Quelue, to pay their respects to the Queen, who, under pretence of indispo sition, would not receive them. Their Excellencies have presented a petition to the Princess Regent, praying that their salaries be re duced to 30,000 francs per annum, as formerly fixed, and which the late King increased to 40,000 in December last.

In the Elude of that date an abstract is given of the pro sisions in the Portuguese Charter, regulating the mode of conducting the elections, which we do net extract, as we have given from the Jatirnal des Dehats the detailed regulations, which are merely the provisions of the charter, • little more perfectly developed. The towns of Porto, Villareal, Vise°, Lisbon, Evora, and Faro, arc those in which the elections are to be held. The islands of the AZOI?S form one province, of which Angra is the capital. tadeira and Porto Santo form another Province, of which Funchal is considered the capital. The provincial Assemblies appoint one Deputy for every 25,601 souls. Minho will therefore have 30 Deputies, 'Gras-os-Nlontes t, Beira 36, Estrematiura 26, Aletittjo 12, the Algarve, Metleira and Porto Santo 1, and the Azores 7. The Kn)de has an article on South America, against which we must enter our positive and unqualified dissent. Fahe ideas of liberty may be entertained in these countries; but while we prefer a limited monarchy, we do not think it impossible to enjoy a high degree of security as well as of i.olitical liberty under a different form of Government. We are as much opposed to the ultra doctrines of the Etoile si we are to the radicalism of many of our contemporaries. Constitutionnel draws unfavourable omens, as to the future destiny of Spain, from the appointment of M. SA r. MON. ad interim, as Minister of Foreign Affairs. The , ,areal des Debars asserts that M. the CASA FLORES has received from the Spanish Government a recognition of the Hew state of things in Portugal. The ttristoraae,*on the other hand, asserts that war is certain. The Quotidienne says the French army will continue in Spain, new contracts having been made for the Commissariat; but the Etoile asserts that the contracts have been made on the condition that they shall cease the day the evacuation shall be de termined upon. The news of the non -acceptance of the firman dissolving the Janissaries on the part of the Pacha of BOSNIA is confirmed, according to the Gazette erselle de Lyons; but none of his other proceedings are known, except that he has appriztd the Greek Primates of his intentions. We subjoin a variety of extracts. tErom the Etoile of 29th August.] Aloqcow, JeLy 28. The Duke of Devonshire, the Prince Wolkonsky.

The Empress Mary has left her Summer Palace at Kusniin im. and occupies that of General Apraxin, at Petrowsky, in order t Ge nearer Petrnwsky Dwaretz, where their Majesties intend to descend. and remain a few days. We have had the satisfaction of mtesuing the arrival of the Imperial children. An immense craved went to Dwaretz to meet them. The Grand Duke Alex. atoder, accompanied by his Governor, went out of the palace to visit ce soldiers of the great guard. The banners of the latter were im mediately di•played. To.day appeared on the grand square a temple raised for tore Imperial family. It is in this temple that divine service is to bo performed, in the presence of all the great, the snoops, Sec. to re t .m.thanks for the divine protection afforded to Russi.r. by which .sae was saved halo the dangers of the conspiracy.

Sir Charles Stewart set out on the 9th fur England, on board the English frigate Diamord. His Excellency had neared deipatt hex on the sth by the Resolute brig. The following is a summary of the reports of the Captains-Ge neral commanding provinces, received yesterday at the Office of the Ministry of Wu. The General of Tess-os-Monte, announces that the re,ele were at Alcanis: a, and that troops had been posted in suitable positions to observe them, and that at bat a great number of soldiers of No. 24 had presented themselves to take advantage of the amnesty. he Gin:nil of the province of 31 mho sap ; that all Lis province THE BRITISH PRESS. is perfectly tranquil, and that he had sent to the province of Tras os-Montes the 3d and 21st regiments of the line. Brigadier Elmira writes from Chaves that all there Is perfectly tranquil. Similar accounts have been sent by the Generals of Higher and Lower Beira, of Porto, of Alentejo, and of Algarve. The Minister of ar has caused the following Note to be published to-day : 6 ' Despatches, which, though not official, are not on thee amount less deserving of credit. annaunce that the rebels of the 24th of the line have ben disarmed. (Signed) " PINTO PISSARRO, " The Chide( the First Directory." Illawatp, AUG. 17. (rnivAre coaaterownEscz.) - . It is since this morning asserted that our Government has trans. mitted to the Marquis Car• Flores, OUT Ambassador at Lisbon, the Act by which it recognises the Port•gule Government. This report gains strength •in consequence of M. de OM Flores having bu t very lately set out for Lisbon. During • conference which took place three days ago at the office of the Minister for Foreign Af fairs, and at which several members of the diplomatic body were present, Monsieur del Infantado gave the assurance that peace be tween Spain and Portugal would not be distutbed in consequence of the changes which lately took place in the political system of the last-mentioned kingdom. The Portuguese deserters return in crowds to Portugal, in ann.- quence of the amnesty, and the delay allowed them of eight days. Ilre are threatened with serious disturbances at Madrid. The public authorities, therefore, keep under arms a great number of troops, and some of the principal civil and military chiefs are often at the head of the guards. The Court sets off to-morrow for San ['deform°, and will be followed by one of the two Swiss regiments in the French pay which are here. They will do duty at San ll defonso during the Court's stay there. We have received the Dutch Papers to the 29th of Au gust, front which we give the following extracts : PETIF.IISIIU RCM, Aro. 12. The accomplices in the late conspiracy, who have been con demned to work in the mines oc to banishment to Siberia, have lately set out for the place of their destination, in several divisions, under a strong escort. Several of them are accompanied by their wives. The lot of many staff and superior officers who were im pliated in the criminal investigatioo, by pat ticipation in the trea sonable societies, which are now entirely broken up, has been graciously determined by an imperial order of the day, just pub lished. The Emperor, says this ddcument, after previous inquiry into the bad conduct of these officers, some of whom belonged to the forbidden societies, and others have been found guilty of having been partakers in or privy to their designs, considering the eir cutnstances which have misled them, and lastly considering that all of them took no part in the wicked plans ; that some had left the societies; and,besides, that all have expressed sincere repentance for their conduct, has graciously ordered that these officers shall not undergo any sentence from the criminal courts, and shall be liable only to correctional punishments. Among them is said to be Colonel Glinka, ankh-de-camp to the late General 111ilaradowitsch, who was assassinated, and a number of ►he officer,, both of the guard and the line, most of whom are to be under arrest for a few months, and placed in other regiments. _ BRUSSELS, AUGUST 26. Two of our journals ray that a Central Greek Committee in this city has received information that four officers of the old French army, who, on pretence of going to Greece, to enter the Greek ser vice, had received money from the Committee for their outfit, had been Induced, by fair promises made them at Marseilles, to engage in the Turkish service, which they had done, without returning the money advanced them by the Committee. Such events induced the Brussels Committee to resolve to open correspondence with M. Eynard, because, in this manner, none of the gifts intended for th e Greeks will be lost or be perverted to the service of their enemies. FRANKFORT AUGUST 2.1. The accounts published by the Austrian Gove;nment, under the date of July 25. from Constantinopk, agree in the main with those already received through other channels. The substance of them is, that the Sultan perseveres with the greatest rigour in the prose. cation of the measures which he has commenced, but that evident marks of discontent begin to be observed, as well among the popu lace as the superior classes, and that it is very true that not only very threatening placards have been posted up in the Seraglio and other public places, but that the Sultan, the last time he went in state to the Mosque of Achmet, was received by the people with profound silence. The closing of the coffee-houses to prevent po• pular assemblages, and the banishment of the Order of Dervises, called Becktusehi, from whose founder, Sheik Hadgi Becktuschi, the Janissaries had their name, have caused a great sensation ; but the banishment of a number of very distinguished Officers of State, who are accused of having spoken disrespectfully, though in pri vate, of the measures of the Government, seems to have made an impression on the higher classes, especially as those persons belong to the corps of the Ulemas, whom the Sultan had previously treated with great respect. The Austrian journals acknowledge that in this state of things there are persons who fear a violent reaction, but they affirm that the Sultan has not yet met with any actual opposition, that the Ja nissaries, both at Smyrna and Saionichi, had submitted, but that no accounts had been received from the interior of Asia and Syria. We read with pleasure, in the Austrian accounts, ti4t the new troops in the capital do not exceed 6,000 men in number, which, in case of a reaction, could not make much resistance. The Sultan, who seems resolved to let none of the old military institutions re main, has abolished the corps of Bostandgis, and invited them to enlist among the new troops. These accounts say that the plague rages in Constantinople, and has manifested itself also on board some ships in the harbour. The accounts respecting the movements of the Capitan Pacha's fleet, and the operations of Ibrahim against the Mainotes, agree with these previously received. The celebrated Germanos, Bishop of Patras, who took so decided a part in the Greek insurrection, died on the llth of June. Eight thousand disciplined Arabian troops are expected from Egypt. Many thousand uniforms are making for the new troops. Fifteen light vessels are building at the Arsenal, for the exercise of seamen. Fifteen persons die doily of the plague in Pera and Galata. Moscow•, AUG. 7. Their Imperial Majesties yesterday made their solemn entry into this city. Though a gentle south-east wind blew, the heat was WI deg. In order to prevent accidents, the police ordered, the day before, that every one might proceed, before two o'clock, to the place whence lie intended to see the procession ; but after that hour he would be hindered by the troops stationed in the streets. For this reason the people thronged the streets before that hour, in order to reach in time the stages prepared, when the places were paid for at a ruble up to two ducats per head. The roofs were full of people. The first stories of the houses from Sastawa to the Krem lin were hung with draperies of various eolours. The great palaces were adorned with cloth of gold, velvet silk, and cuchemere, with gold frin,.;es, borders, and tassels, and rich tapestry, hung over the balconies. At three o'clock nine cannon-shot gave a signal to the troors to enter the city, where they were drawn up in their lines. At live a salute of 71 guns announced the arrival of their Majet. ties at Saatawa, and the ringing of bells was heard on every side. His Majesty the Emperor was on horseback, with the (hand Duke Michael on his right, and Prince Charles of Prussia on his left hand, accompanied by a numerous suite of Russian and foreign Generals and Aides-de.Camp. The Empre.s Alexandria, with the Grand Duke Alexander at !wraith% was in a splendid coach, and the joyful acclamations of the multitude everywhere saluted the Imperial pair. The woe( salon was just two English miles in length, for when the third division of the horse guards, which opened the procession. reached Sastaws, the postilions who closed it were at the gate of the Petrowsky Palace. The ceremony was not over till seven o'clock. The whole city was illuminated. On the boulevard of Twer, which was splendidly illuminated by order of the Governor. General, numerous persons of high rank were walking till eleven in tbe evening, seeking their carriages, and it was midnight before thee all got away. The Coronation is deferred on account of the fast, which does not end till the 15th (probably the 27th N.S.), and no day is yet fixed for R.—Amsterdam Courant, Aug. 29. By the Liverpool packet ship we have received United States Papers, but not later than those previously received. We have extracted a few articles. From the Plikidelphia Gazdte, July 26 1 The gold and silver, s p ecie aid bullion, imported into the United States during the commercial year ending Septemba 30th last, amounted to 6,150,765 dollar. In the same period, agreeably to the Custom-house returns, she export of gold and silver stas 11,797,046 dollars. From which it appears that the export exceeded the import by 2,648.290 dollars. This enormous export was occasioned by excessive issues of pa per whereby the sp ec ie was d r i ven out o f t h e countt y, and the China trade in particular so far overdone, that most of those en gaged in it have suflard loss. This year, as is natural, there is • reaction. Silver is brought in in so great abundance that the men at the Mint have to pertorm what is called a " day and a half work," and the export of specie from the port of Philadelphia, dur ing the months of April, May, and June. of the present year, has been only 500,501 dollars, against two millions one hundred and thirty-six thousand one hundred and fifty-one dollars in the corre sponding months of last year. It is a most fortunate circumstance, that the bursting of the New York bubbles occurred at • time when there was plenty of specie in the country, and when, owing to the dulness of business, there was little demand for money. lied it occurred at a season last year, when the country was drained of specie, and when the mer chants and traders had numerous engagements to meet, the bursting would not have been confined to bubbles, nor to the city of New York. JAMAICA. COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT.—The Editors of the Balti more American have been politely favoured with an extract of a letter, received by the schooner John, at Wilmington, North Caro. lina, dated " KINGSTON, JUNE 2il, 1826. " We missed the opportunity of forwarding the annexed by the brig America:—Since the date of our last, a circumstance has oc. rutted which will rause great inconvenience to the trade of the Wand. The Comn.issionera of Customs have forwanhAl instruc. Lions by the last packet to the several Collectors to collect the duties on articles subject to the same, and the island acts authorize the Receiver General to collect the same, so that at the present time all articles are subject to pay double duties. It is a question between the British Government and the Colonial Legislature—th y say you shall pay the salaries of the different officers and other inci dental charges. The question will be brought forward immediately on the meeting of the House of Assembly in September, and there it no doubt but that the duties will be refunded. In the mean ime, however, all vessels arriving will be obliged to pay the double duties. This, we consider, will prevent many from engaging in the trade until the question is decided, and by that means leave an opening for some advantageous speculations. The Collector's orders are to hold over one.fourth of the duties, and to pay the re. mainder over to the Receiver General quarterly. Cargoes arriving now it would be advisable to bond until a sale could be eirmed." TO Tilt EDITOR or THE BALTIAIOUE GAZETTE. CARTIIAGENA, Jt'LY 5, I 824 i. Dear Sir,—The enclosed proclamation has just been published in this city—it is a document of some interest, and may be of emote use to you. The general opinion is. that General I'aez will be condemned to death; and, as President Bolivar is expected in two or three weeks. I make no doubt tranquillity in Venezuela will be restored. We are all quiet in this department. In haste, your's, Ate. Tne Editors of the Gazette received from their Correspondent a proclamation published at ('arthagena, by General Bermudez, on or about the sth or July, in which he denounces, in the most violent manner, the proceedings of General Paez—" Twelve thou. sand valiant soldiers are marching upon Venezuela, by centaiia of the Liberator President. They are returning from Peru. and part of them have arrived at Panama. lie has just completed the glorious work of Peruvian hinny and order ; and Cornice. whit led him thither, will now bring him to the support of his virtuous fellow.citisens, and the laws of his own enantry. " The immortal Bolivar, raised by Providence to be the creator and constant defender of Colombia, impelled by the glorious destiny, returns to his country at the first moment that it is neces sary to enforce respect to the general will, to the constitutional com pact of Colombians. " Ills name alone will disconcert the schemes of discord, and his wisdom will soon restore that order, without which it is in vain to hope for liberty." One of the late numbers of the Singapore Chronicle contains a short passage about the seizure of an American ship. This cir cutnstance is one to which amne importance was attached ; and, as the vessel was partly laden with arms, on that account was seized by a British man of war, lest those arms should be directed so as to s:rengthen those who were at war with Great Britain. The men. sure was considered at Singapore as anything but necessary and useful. The Chronicle remarks :—" fbe vessel which has now been seiz.eil was not suffered to snap here, but was sent on imme diately to Calcutta. where the ca , e will be decided. It, however, involves matters of considerable importance, and will probably, in the end, become a subject of discussion between the notions ; as the tight or search on the high seas is a subject on which the Ame ricans have always entertained much jealousy. The feeling which the case has excited here is a general one of regret and resentment, and I think with some reason. It is seldom that we are visited by any of his Majesty's ships ; and it is hard that men who ought to be protectors of our commerce should be the disturbers of it. This same mameof-war has done more harm by passing through our harbour than all the pirates in the Malayan Archipelago would have done in 29 years. The Ameri can had a valuable cargo, and 4,:,090 dollars in specie.—Bollintort 6:azrtle. The great blast of the Warwarsing lead mine (about which so much hoe been said, both in jest and in earnest) will, according to rumour, be made on the 23th of July instant.

A chartered Cotnpany in the city of New York, a few years ago, mused a shaft to be sunk into the mine, to the depth of seve ral hundred feet. It is proposed to deposit in p h i• pit a large quan tity of powder, and by a great explosion to disembowel the hid ieri treasure of the mine. A subscription is on foot to defray the cost of the powder.—Plebeion. RIO, JVNE We arc without any thing interesting fmm Buenos Ayres, or any part of the interior provinces. rapt.

She has no choice but a civil war or to perish, and in proportion as she becomes poor she will become warlike. TheCouriermust recollect that we did not accuse the Globe merely because it copied our article without acknowledg ment. If that were necessary in all cases, we could poin t out twenty similar articles every (lay in every Paper. We ac cused the Globe of asserting, by implication, that we did not publish it. The Globe has very fairly accounted for the cir cumstance, and we acquit that Journal of any blame in the affair. We arc willing (and we said so in the • article to which the Courier alludes) to Sire the same Emilie which we take. We should have been to blame if we hail claimed the intelligence of the Courier as our own. Our practice is that of all journalists ; our precept is such as the Globe itself allows, that it violated only by mistake. As to the article in the Morning Herald (tor we did not complain of the other Papers to which we alluded), we mentioned it merely be cause it appeared to us one of the best specimens of news paper humbug which ever decorated the columns of that most glorious of humbugs. An article from Lima, dated May 26, received by a vessel (so it is stated) which left Peru on the 19th, is certainly a specimen of rapidity of in telligence, which only the Morning Herald can command The fact is this—the Editor of a Liverpool Journal got a copy of the letter, and inserted it in a Paper which reached the Herold on Monday. The Editor of the Herald did not observe that we had published the same letter on Monday, with a different date, having received it from Liverpool on Sunday, and our date must clearly have been correct, from the tune of the sailing of the Ayacucho. The accuracy of the letter we do not warrant; but a copy certainly was sent us from Liverpool, as having been received th( re. 'The Liverpool Paper, from which the Her aid seems to have literally copied it, slates it the '26th May, and asserts that it has received advices from Lima to the 17th August ! That beats the licruld, after all. We are enabled, by the very interesting communication from our own Reporter, which appears in our Paper of this day, to state with confidence, that the distress said to have existed in the West of England had no real foundation in fact. The writer of the article in question has visited every town of consequence in the district to which he alludes, paying particular attention, as he proceeded, to the state of the working classes; and the best proof of the strict ac curacy of his account is afihrtled by the fact that he has not found it necessary, in a journey of many weeks, to send us any communication before the present, in which he has given us the final result of his inquiries. We have, in all our arguments concerning the distresses of the coun try, adhered uniformly to the principle, that the unna tural proportion which the manufacturing industry of the nation bears to the labour employed in the production el necessaries is the permanent cause of, all the evils which have lately arisen in this country. Our assertion w as general, and the necessity of paying attention to orb, topics has prevented us from developing all the views in which this principle would tend to produce changes in the internal policy of our Government. One very obvious application of the principle is to the trade in corn—the freedom of which is rendered m cessary on t h e eery same grounds as those whi c h we h ave repeatedly mentioned as rendering th e em pl oyment of more in dustry in agriculture a d v i sa bl e i n t h e present circurn. stances of the country. i n one respect, the encourage. ment of agriculture at h ome i s more desirable than the introduction of foreign corn; b ecause the latter renders us dependent on for e i gn countr i es for the meant of snbsistence. But corn i s n ot t h e only necessary arising from agriculture, and it i s highly import ant tha t every country should give a preference to that species of cultivation to which it is most adapted. This effect can only be produced by the freedom of trade, which prevents any undue encouragement from falling upon one branch of agriculture more than another. We have so often pointed out the stimulus which would he gite n to agriculture by the repeal of the Corn Laws, that we do not think it tic. cessary to insist upon it any farther at present. We shall now confine ourselves to the statement of that applicati on of our principle to which we have above alluded, viz.: —to the necessity of a due proportion being observed ninon the articles of trade, as well as in the objects of the inter. nal industry of a country. In stating the point for merly, we asserted that the industry of the country, in order to prevent distress, should be curl Led to a au, pro portion on all the articles necessary for the comfort or gra. tification of individuals. We maintained that the valucof all commodities depended upon, anti was influenced by, that of necessaries—instancing the case of water (a pro duct at present of no value) the scarcity of which w ou ld render all other products of less value, as making it neces sary to expend a portion of them in procuring a commodity now so cheaply attainable. What we mean by less value in this case is, merely, that every single commodity would then become exchangeable for a less quantity of any other com modity. The result which we drew from this was, that the abundance of necessaries, in a due proportion to other commodities, was absolutely indispensable., in order to give all other commodities a real value. This evidently applies as much to the Corn Trade as to agriculture. If trade is allowed to augment the quantity of gold, and all other commodities except corn, nothing can be more obvious o than the fact that all other commodities (and gold among the others) will become of less value in every point of view ; that is to say, more gold and other products of trade and manufactures will Le required, in order to put. chase the necessary quantity of corn ; and consequently mare would be nec e ssary before one could procure the same quantity of luxuries as at present. In stating this we are, in fact, stating a truism ; alai we put it in this technical shape merely to show that the principle which we laid down about the necessity of a due proportion between all commodi ties embraced the case of trade as w: It as that of manufac tures. IVe particularly insist upon dd. , b cause it has been too customary tolook to the currc neyand the increase of paper money as the only commodities the augmentation of which tends to raise prices and to produce distress. The undue in crease of currency and private paper has, certainly, a more speedy effect ; but an increase of any other commodity has precisely the same effect in the end. If the speculations in ' trade which have lately proved so ruinous had been turned in a due proportion to corn, none of that distress would have occurred which has recently been felt in this country. But we do not confine ourselves on this subject to mere argil nent : the case is one in which we must reckon upon human passion as well as reason. The unenlight. eeed advocates of agricultural monopoly choose to in• jure tie 'natives, and their labouring countrymen a . on; with them. The manufacturing and commercical in terests are willing to support the agricultural in what ' is really beneficial, but they will not allow it to de a:roy itself and them. We would recommend to the Sect ' tish opponents of free trade to refer to the Catechism cf their Church—and the principle is not confined to their Church. They will find there that the crowd would not have exceeded the warrants of theology in assert ing that the Corn Laws are forbidden in the Sixth Commandment. This may be thought a little far-fetched; and we admit it. All we mean is simply this—that there is argument enough to justify those disposed to disturb the peace in their own minds, should they feel inclined (and who can answer fora desperate multitude ?) to attempt by force those alterations which they have been led to ce p:et from the concessions of the Legislature. Our readers will observe, from the Advertisement in the Press of this day, that the Subscription for the distressed Letter-press Printers is proceeding with considerable spirit. The Subscripticn among the employed compositors and pressmen amounts to nearly 400/.

Consols have, through the day, been tolerably steady, the greatest variation not having exceeded an eighth. At the close of the market, after a day no way remarkable for the portion of business done, they closed at 79} ; and it does not appear that there was any disposition to name a higher price for October. There have beta several de faulters to-day, the account of one of them being of con siderable magnitude. The circumstance of these failures lies occasioned a good deal of conversation and surmise, inasmuch as they are totally independent of, and are nct at all involved in, those of yesterday and the previous day ; neither have these parties been at all looked up to as spe culators to whom such an event was likely to happen, from the nature of their general character and di tiling in the market. It is, therefore, strongly supposed that something like a sacrifice has been made, in order to save other parties, which has.been practised upon more occasions than one, with some effect. Exchequer Bills are at 17 1 H ; and India Rends have advanced to 29. The monied interest, no doubt, are looking with some attention to what is going forward, but seem wholly undecided how to dispose of their capital. If they can find what may appear to them a satr or a batter market than the Britishi-Funds, no doubt they will avail themselves of it. It is to be hoped, however, that the state of the Revenue will prove to be better than has been anticipated in some quarters (indeed such is asserted, on good authority, to be the case) ; and then, no doubt, there will be a stronger disposition, on the part of those posses sing capital, to invest it.
