ilk& ■ I IP FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, Aug. 30.) PARIS, Avc. 29.—1 t appears that the advice whic d h has been given to Don Miguel has induced him to resolve to marty his niece, or at least to express a desire to do so. This is stated in letters from Lisbon of the 14th August, received on the 27th by express. It has been said that an Ambassador had set out for Germany ; such in fact was, ele Prince's design ; but he has Iwen made sensible that his marriage with the young Infanta was the only m eans o f effecting an arrangement with Don Pedro, and he seems to resign himself to it. It is also affirmed that Don Miguel is going to acquaint Don Pedro of his intentions to eon shier the Treaty c oncluded between the late King and the Emperor of Brazil under the mediation of England, for the separation of the two States. It is also said that Don offers to cede to Don Pedro those colonies which refused to acknowledge his authority. (From the Messager des Chambree, Aug. 29.) PAKIS, AUG. 28.—Letters from Odessa, of the 10th and 12th August, have been received. One of them con tains the following particulars :—Soon after his Majesty's arrival, a report was spread that a Turkish negotiation had arrived at the Imperial head-quarters, with proposals f. om Iluseeim Pacha, commander in chief of the Turkish army in Shumla, to conclude an armistice for three weeks, for the purpose of sending a courier to the Sultan with despatches announcing the state of affairs at Shumla. The arrival of the innumerable forces of the Russian army, • the scarcity of provisions in the Turkish camp, the power ful diversions which the Imperial fleet cannot fail to make at Varna ; in a word, all the stories which appear to make it imperative upon the Sublime Porte to prevent, while it is yet time to conquer, a struggle, which will, doubtless, be terrible, and in which the Muasulmena' valour WPI make heroic efforts, but the results of which may also lead to tie destruction of the Empire. The Emperor Nicholas, yielding to the impulse of his noble mind, which is guided above all things by reli g ion and humanity, wishing to stop the effusion of blood in both armies, that lie had seen flow in torrents only a few hours before the arrival of the messenger from' Husseim Pacha, is said, by the officers of his suite, to have agreed to the request made to him; and from that moment all hostilities ceased. Each army retains its position. The Russian advanced posts still occupy the heights before Shumla, and the 7th corps is even on the road to Constantinople. The Impe rial Guards have passed the Danube, and after having been reviewed by the Emperor at Isaaktcha, continues' its march to join the army before Shumla. Near 100,000 Russians will soon inundate Roinelia and Bulgaria, and will be be fore the fortresses which the Turks still hold. The whole army of Poland, a formidable reserve, will guard the frontiers, and form a cordon opposite that place, by a neighbouring power on the borders of Mora, /Inertia, and the two Principalities. The fleet of Admiral Greig, re inforced by the ship of the line that lately sailed from Odesea, proceeding along the coast of the Black Sea, will he ready to land fresh troops under the walls of Varna and on the whole Turkish roast, as well as to supply an army with the quantity of provisions embarked on board the feet. It is in this imposing attitude that the Emperor Nicholas has been aisle to followthe impulse of a generosity which lie hail shown at the beginning of the war, and to wait at Odessa, where he is surrounded by the representatives of the principal Powera of Europe, for the answer of the Sultan to his most skilful Generals, and one who enjoys the highest share of his confidence, and, while in the Diplomatic Assembly at Odessa, under the eyes of the east, his honourable inten tions towards Europe, as well as his moderation towards the ne - ny who has provoked them, will be displayed in all their lustre. The last clouds which malevolence might have endeavoured to cause between the policy of the Rus sian Cabinet and that of the rest of Europe, will vanish at the first word of our august Sovereign. Durur ' these discussions, the reinforcements w i l l have joined the besieging army, the entrenchments before Shumla, and the line of circumvallation round its walls will he complete ; and if the Sultan persists in making war, it will he to the heart of his dominions that the Emperor Nicholas will return to dictate a peace, for the conse quences of which Mahmoud will only have himself to blame. (From the Gazette de France of Friday.) PARIS, Auc. 29.—The letters from Odessa and Vienna, given by the Au9sburph Gazette, agree in assigning to the return of the Emperor of Russia a political rather than a military cause. The letters from Odessa say, " The Em peror has arrived unexpectedly from the army with the Vice-Chancellor, Count Nesaelrode, and Cmint Benken dorf. Various rumours have in consequence been spread of an armistice for three weeks, concluded between the two armies, on account of the Russians being under the necessity of waiting for reinforcements, to be in a condition to un dertake ulterior operations against Shumla and Varna. It is said that the Emperor will remain here for some time, and that Shumla will not be attacked until the whole of the reinforcements have arrived. The Guards, it is said, will take part in it. The first division of them passed the Da nube on Aug. 2, at Isaktcha. The Emperor, on his return, reviewed a part of them. According to all accounts, the Turkish force at Shumla amounts to 120 or 140,000 men, and they receive reinforcements every day. The fortitiea aiona of the town and of the line of defence rue provided with 1,400 pieces of cannon, mostly iron, and the Turks who showed themselves dispirited at the passage of the Da nube, have since displayed great bravery and perseverance. Bassein Bey has succeeded in raising their fanaticism to the utmost pitch.' Ots the other hand, they suffer very touch from the want of provisions." (From the Journal des Debate of Thursday.) P.ants, Ara. 28.—The last news from the theatre of war had left the Russians within gun-shot of Sltuda, and we expected a decisive action in the latter part of July or the beginning of August. Seeing the slowness of the ope rations, however, when boldnesa and rapidity might decide tie issue, we were forced to believe that the Russians had foutoi' in the Turkish fortresses preparations for defence, and in the mi:qaber of their troops insurmountable obstacles to a enup de main against the passes of Mount the success m e Bemus e and we lauk fur news from the head-quarters, to convince us that the .`mewv plan consists only inblockading and a march on Con- Slaumla, an attack on N:rilir stantinople, along the shore. Shumla, blockaded, . might yet, although the season is 1:‘• wlvanced, de cide this year, questions which, we must :vow, appear to us, adjourned to a more distant day. The r...3peror has arrived unexpectedly at Odessa, and we hear GF this journey without i. hearing .e any ting of its causes.

The delay the state of the roads, and the unhealthiness of the climate, ins, will not, at that period of the year, permit the continuance of the offensive war in Romelia. Admitting the necessity of a sacend campaign, events assum e a differe nt aspect. To throw a glance over their probable consequences, We shall wait till our first conjectures are confirmed ; but we must state, that the journey of the Emperor to Odessa seems to confirm them. (From the Constitutionnel of Friday.) PARIS, Ain. 29.---Events proceed slowly in the East fur amen of lively imaginations and impertinent wishes; but with a frightful rapidity for the timid who see in the conquest of Constantinople by the Rutssians, the conquest of the whole of Europe. Persons less subject to hope or fear see in the attacks and proceedings of the Russians and the defence of the Turks, events fore-calculated, and mo tion mingled with repose. The movement is slow and progressive, b u t di re ct. The contest is between two Datiolli srighting with equal fury according to the system which answers best to their religious antipathies,hereditary' hatreds, and national cliarh To psse the States nen of a Nation incapable 4.. profound 'lil views and skilful combinations fa , tal b l e s enuse of tbe people believe the absurd dogma of to expose one's-self to errors.

It eldom happens that tt aniress, 1 raition culled by famine, does not cost the conquerors more Wood than the conquer ed, and the sacrifice is s till greater if it k necessary to carry it by storm. The Sultan appears then to hav e adopted the system of war most appropriate to his circus. stances, to the courage and military character of his people We have heard the Emperor Nicholss reproached with his slow and well-arranged march; Napoleon or Frederick, it is said, would have proceeded straight to Constantinopl e without troubling themselves about the fortresses to which the Russians lay siege, and make of their military stations what may cause them to fail in the object they have in slew. This reproach is not well founded. The campaign of 1812 is not an argument in favour of this war of iota- sion, which separates an army from its support, and its s upplies, and which isolates it in the midst of a hostile po pulation, who, in case of reverse, becomes formidable ene mies on all the roads, and all the positions, who relieve each other to make attacks by night, follow those by' day, ren dering dangerous to the enemy' they harass, the times of repast, of halt, and of sleep.

Five Regiments of infantry are garrisoning the colonies. To whom owes France her Constitution ? According to Montgaillari, to no one else than to the late le:nip/for Alexander. This historian relates, in his excellent history of France, that the Emperor Alexander refused to Louis XVIII. his entrance into Paris, until he promised to grant to the nation a Constitution in accordance with its wants. Thus France would he indebted to the Northern Emperor for the blessings of a free Constitution. Alexander added, by this act, the brightest laurel to his diadem, which is the more glorious, as Montgaillard observe', as the many attempts made since the Restoration abundantly prove that all the emigrants, at their return, dreamt of nothing less than the restoration of an absolute government. (From the Journal des Debuts.) PARIS, Auo 29.—T0 restore for the last time, to tha true point of view, the discussion between the English-and French presses, on the actual situation of England. It is at once a sorrowful affair to have to prove by reasoning that the political importance of a nation is not weakened. In general facts are more allowed to speak in such cases than eloquence, being the most persuasive. We shall not, bow ever, take advantage of the necessity admitted by their mode of displaying the pompous catalogue of the resources of England. We believe them to be correctly estimated, anti that Great Britain is seated on the foundation of her power. We see all the elements of a just preponderance, which she has to share with the continental nation!. We know that a people do not fall like a Cabinet. We have never supposes! that in Mr. Canning's tomb is buried all the strength and dignity of hi! country. His heritage, however difficult to collect, appears to us confused, by being in hands unable to lift its weight. But though men of his superiority are rare in all countries, we have sup posed that England is rich in second-rate men, who could guide skilfully the chariot confided to their care.

Sr. PETEKSEURGII, AUG. 16.—The Journal of St. Petersburgh contains the following Bulletin, which brings the account of the military operations of the Grand Army down to the 21st ult. (2d inst.) " After eur camp had been established on the heights near Shunibi, the Turks constructed, during the night from the 27th to the 211Ith, a redoute in front of the fortress, with an intention of acting from that point against our position. " O❑ the 28th, at four o'clock in the afternoon, orders were given for establishing a battery upon the right wing of our position, which soon opened its fire upon the redoubt of the enemy, and prevented him from extending his works. " The fire of our troops Lad all the desired success. upon receiving its fire the Turks abandoned their works, and retired hastily into the town ; but a numerous body of cavalry, amounting to about 5,000 men, immediately sallied forth to attack our battery. Having been repeatedly re pulsed, the Turks threw themselves upon the fifteenth and sixteenth regiments of chasseurs, occupying an elevation. The first division of chasseurs a cheval, being separated by a copse (taillie) from those regirbents, was unable to op pose this sudden movement of the enemy ; but the brigade of chasseurs, supported by the fire of our horse artillery, received the vigorous attack with admirable courage, com pletely repulsed the enemy, and preserved the position. According to the report of the prisoners, the loss of the enemy amounts to 100 killed and 500 wounded. Our lose in killed and wounded amounts to about 100 men. _ .... . " The approach of night put an end to the operations of the day, which afforded fresh proofs of the valour of our soldiers, and of the skill of their Chiefs. On this occasion the Emperor decorated with a sword, ornamented with diamonds, the Aid-de-Camp, General Kisseletv ; and with the Grand Cordon of the Order of St. Anne, Major-Gen. Berg ; the fanner Chef d'Etat Major, and the latter Quar terma.ster-General of the Second Army. " Doling the night of the 29th a redoubt was rail , d upon the height which we had occupied the preceding day. With a view of impeding our works, the Turks opened the tire of their battery against them in the morning ; but this fire was soon extinguished by that of the battery on our l i left wing. The enemy then advanced with some field pieces, and a numerous escort ; but these were soon driven back by the fire of the battery which they attacked. i " After this ineffectual sortie, the enemy's cavalry at tempted to gain the battery of our left wing, but was re pulsed in every attack ; the fire directed by the enemy apinst the same battery du, ing the nights of the 30th and alit, was also ineffectual. During the day of the 29th a body (..'!' the enemy's; cavalry attempted to turn the left wing of our position; but, having been discovered by our ad vanced posts, two pieces of horse artillery, supported by a detachment of Hussars, put them to flight, without our suffering the least loss. " Lieut.-General Rudiger next received orders to move a detachment forward to ski Stamboul, in order to inter cept the communications between Shumla and Constanti nople, and oppose the arrival of reinforcements expected by the garrison. The enesny, who, dwing this movement, had defended the heights of the village of Tchaplyn, were obliged to abandon them, after having suffered the loss of about 100 men. " On the 30th a part of the detachment of Lieut.-Ge neral Rudiger was left in the vicinity of the village of Tehaplyn ; the remainder is advancing towards Eski Stam boul, by following the course of the Kanitclieka.

ROM Varoa his lia jesty is to proceed to Odessa, where he has it in contem plation to pass a few days, cud to inspect the reserved corps of the active army. An4usT S.—Oa the 2. 1 , prince 'ienschikoff, having assumed the command of the detachment destitte against the fort ress o f V a rna, quitted the position which had be en previtaisly occupied by Lientenant•General Ou,ichakoff, near tile village of Derwent, ant, on the same day, having driven the enemy from the heights in front of the fortress, occupied a at! ung and advantageous position on the same. In the course of the day the Turks lost a standard, and a considerable number in killed and wounded; amongst the former was tie commandant of their cavalry. The retreat of the Turks was so precipitate that they left behind them the whole of their baggage and provisions, and even the tent of their General. On our side we have suffered a lobs of only one man killed and seven wounded. The result of this affair has been to open our communi cations with the fleet of Admiral Greig, just arrived before Varna, and consisting of eight ships of the line, five frigates, and several smaller vessels. The 3d brigade of the 7th division of infantry, coming from Anapa on board of this fleet, has already effected a landing, and united itself with the other troops under the command of Prince Mens cliikoff. . ..... M the sth of August his Majesty arrived in the camp occupied by this detachment with the reinforcement from the principal army, which consists of the 19th regiment of Chasaeurs, of the Chaasenrs a Cheval of Seversk, and of 12 pieces of the artillery of the Cossacks of the Don. Al. ter having examined tide position of the detachment, and viewed the fortress from the intended point of attack, the Emperor repaired on beard the fleet of Admiral Greig ; and having given his instructions to the Admiral, and to Prince Menschikoff respecting the siege of Varna, which is confided to their care, his Imperial Majesty repaiteel on board the Flora frigate, which weighed anchor the same evening.

In the district of Harem the dyke has given way, arid a great quantity of hay, which was still in the fields, and all the turf, have been laid under water and washed away. Many houses are also under water. FRANKFORT, A tic:. 26.—The arrival of the Emperor Nicholas at Odessa was very unexpected. It is not unlikely that it is the plan of the Russians only to blockade Shumla, after having driven away the Turkish army that is before the place, and to direct their chief efforts to the siege of Varna, since, as soon as that fortress falls into their hands, the Russians can, without danger, march to Adrianople; for, in case of a reverse, they will then have a safe retreat to Varna and along the sea-coast, while Shumla, being blockaded by a part of the army, cannot be of any impor tance. If this be the case we must not expect any decisive news from the Russian headquarters before the end of August. ODFSSA, Arc. B.—We have been surprised to-day by the arrival of the Emperor Nicholas, who came from the army, accompanied by the Vice-Chancellor Count Nessel ode and Gen. Benkendorff. Various reports have since been spread of a cessation of arms fur three weeks, which is said to have been concluded in consequence of the necessity, on the side of the Rus sians, of waiting for reinforcements before decisive opera tions are undertaken against Shutnla and Varna, &c. Arc. 10.—The day before yesterday the Emperor came here to surprise her Majesty the Empress with a visit. It is said the Emperor will remain here only for a short time, and then return to the army. The expected main attack on the fortifications of Shumla will not be undertaken till all the reinforcements have come up. Even the Guards, it appears, are to be employed in it. The first division of them passed the Danube at Issaktcha on the 2d Aug. ' His Imperial Majesty reviewed a part of them on his way hither. According to sll the accounts, the force of the Turks at Shumla is from 120,000 to 140,000 men, awl receives daily reinforcements. Shumla, and the works about it, are said to be defended by 1,400 pieces of cannon, chiefly, however, iron ; and the 'l'urks, who seemed to be much discouraged when tie Russians passed the Danube, are said to have shown great bravery and firmness in the late actions. Hussein Bey has succeeeded hi removing their religious fanaticism. Provisions are very scarce at Shumla. It is still resorted here that a negociation is oil foot for a three weeks' armistice. VIENNA, Arc. 19.—Yesterday evening accounts were at length received from Lord Heytesbury, who had ar rived at Bazardjik ; but, as the Emperor Nicholas was gone with Count Nesselrode to Odessa, his Lordship had resolved to follow his Majesty thither. All the Diploma tists who have hitherto accompanied his Majesty have been invited by Count Nesselrode to go also to Odessa. It seems, therefore, as if diplomatic negotiations were to be set on foot there, or as if the Emperor was resolved there to discuss Lord Ileytesbury's proposals. In this case the Emperor's return must he considered in a dip:ornatie ra ther than a military point of view. An English courier of Lord Heytesbury, who left the Russian head-quarters on sth August, arrived here to day. The Emperor, who was gone to Odessa, was expected to remain there some weeks, till the arrival of the reinforce. meats. With respect to General Witt's visit to Odesss, and his intended journey to the Crimea, some commercial letters say that he had received the command of a separate col ps, which was intended for a secret expedition. We have had a bad harvest in Bohemia. Wheat has already been imported, and a scarcity is apprehended in Moravia. Our Government continues to make purchases of corn in Hungary, and the levy of recruits is going on. Metalliques, 941. Bank Shares, 1077.

Auc. 29.—A British Cabinet Messenger from Berlin to Louden', and a Russian Cabinet Messenger from London to St. Peteraburgh, have passed through this city with despatches. ODESSA, Arc. S.—The latest accounts from the head quarters before S11111111;1, of the 2d of this month, say that there were every day actions with the Turks, which, how ever, led to no result of importance. Our army waits for reinforcements. 13aEstau, Avc. IS.—Letters from Warsaw say, tha' the Polish troops have received marching orders. THE ARMY.

MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1828. NEWS FROM THE RUSSIAN ARMY. At length we have news from the Russian Head Quarters, to the 6th of August, which completely set at rest the rumoured defeat of the Russian Army before Shumla. Instead of being defeated, the Russians have succeeded in completely investing the strong hold of the enemy, and cutting off all communication with Constantinople, as well as with any other place. . The Turks resisted .this investi ture with great spirit, but they were repulsed in every attempt. The EMPEROR proceeded to Varna with reinforcements, and after opening the communication with the fleet of Admiral GrtEla, he proceeded to Odessa, where he ar rived on the Bth, as already stated. Soon after his IMPERIAL MAJESTY'S arrival a report was spread that the Turkish Gen. HUSSEIN PACHA, co►pmanding in Shumla, had sent a negociator to the Russian quarters, proposing an armistice for three weeks, until he should hear from the SULTAN, in answer to despatches announcing the real state of affairs at Shumla. This may be true, but we have our doubts. In the mean- :ime, the Russian Imperial Guards have passed :he DaMube, and reinforcements continue to push on with great ardour to the scene of action. In another column we have given ample details, and cannot afford room for comment. The Allgenzeine Zeitung of the 25th August has been received. The King of PRUSSIA is preparing for the storm, and has ordered several fortresses to be repaired and provisioned. Quite right. Foresight is the first qualification of a good General—and promptitude in carrying his decision into effect the seccuid. Rumours of the defeat of the Russians prevailed at Vienna on the 18th, but they were only the echo of those which had been got up by the Stock-job bers. An Austrian Courier has been sent from Vienna to Constantinople, for the purpose, it is said, of again advising the PORTE to yield, and to persuade it to send Plenipotentiaries to the Russian head quarters. Madame de TA TISCH F.FP, wife of the Russian Ambassador, has set out to-day for Odessa:— VIENNA, AUG. IS. Her Majoty the Archduchess Maria Louisa, who, with her son, is now in Upper Austria, with the Emperor and Emprees, will retain to Vienna, and owe the camp, and about the 20th September set out on Ler return to Parma. We hear that his Royal !Remota the Duke of Reichstadt will study another year in the military academy, and then enter the army. CORFU, JULY 23. An Albanian Chief, Viii Roy, at the head of 11,000 men, has made himself mastitr of the fortresses of Arta and Prevesa, and demands of Retlechid Pa.cha a million of Turkish piasters to pay his troops ; threatening, in case of non-compliance, to sell the two fortresses to the Greeks. VIENNA, AUG. 25. The Austrian Observer of the 18th, 19th, and 20th August, contains no news from the suit of war beyond the simple mention of the arrival of the Emperor Nicholas at Odessa, on the 9th. Accounts from COlombia, state that BOLIVAR has been invested with supreme authority—as unlimited as that of the Roman Dictatorship. The Prussian State Gazette of the 26th of August contains some accounts from the Russian army, but not so late as those furnished by the Hantburgh Reporter, which we have given in another column. The price of corn rose full 30 per cent. at Dantzic, in consequence of the bad accounts from England as to the ruinous state of the harvest. However, we have no doubt that when the good farmers of Dantzic find they have been hoaxed by English speculators, they will abate their natural predilection for high prices, and return to sober reality. The harvest throughout England is excellent. We direct the attention of those who affect to despise or make light of the situa tion of Ireland to Mr. SUEICS speech in another part of our Paper. We have not space to " point the moral." Let Orangemen pause and consider. A second edition of Colonel EVANS'S spi rited work upon " the Designs of Russia," is called for by the public before we have had leisure to discuss the merits of the first.— But we have the less cause for regret on that account, as we find the public doing justice to the very patriotic views of the author, who really seems to feel the interest of his country in a marked degree. Upon glancing over his Pages, we see that his views of the ambitious designs of Russia accord in a singular manner with our own. His book is particularly inte resting at the present highly important crisis— containing much of what is speculative, but much more ofwhat is fearfully correct as to the future pre ponderance of Russia in matters affecting not only the commerce of this country, but the commerce of the maritime States of Europe. Want of space forbids our doing more to-day, than simply calling the attention of those who may not have heard of the work, but who seek for ittfor 'nation upon whatever affects the question at issue between Russia anti Turkey, to peruse Colonel EvANs's instructive book, and they will not be disappointed. As good husbands arc at present at a discount, we recommend any lady who has come safely out of the lottery of wedlock, and who may have a desire to try her luck again, to look at an Advertise ment in another page, which, if it do not happen to. " suit her," will well repay her trouble from its rare originality. should any " Maid possest of property " have too much idle time on her hands, she " may hear of something to her ad vantage," by paying a vi►it " to the house in Berwick-street," where we have no doubt she will enjoy a good laugh for her pains, if nothing else. The advertiser is not very particular about beauty, which ma) perhaps be a private recom mendation ; and the happy " wife," if fond of ale, will find her husband a man of excellent cheer, for he " understands brewing famously." We recommend an early application, for the advertiser has two strings to his bow, and is looking out for " a situation," should he not be so lucky as to get him a wife. He can be well recommended for honesty, sobriety, and good temper—and what more can a good wife want Let the ladies look to it—such an op portunity may not occur again. We wish our advertising friend much joy, for his prospects are very fair. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) Fitolll LLOYD'S.

DANTZIC, Auc. 21.—1 n consequence of the very un favouratele accounts which we have received from the neighbouring countries, and especially from England and France, fur some weeks past, respecting the prospect of the harvest, our corn trade has become uncommonly For several days past large orders have been received both from England and France ; and in consequence of the con tinued rains, and the damage which the wheat in those parts, and in the whole country, is likely to suffer, there have been some speculations for home account. In conse quence of this a great part of our stock has been bought up, and is out of the market. As the rainy we ather still continues, and the accounts of the quality of the wheat that has already been got up in this neighbourhood, are un favourable, the prices, particularly of wheat and rye, have cent., and there a f u rther reisriod muteoulit con siderablethatifrapid r i nab orderst'ut3oP e s i hotd be i received, and considerable rise will take place, than could have b een expected a short time ago, as the s tock• of wheat i n th e first hand is reduced to 7or 8,000 taste ; that of rye to A few hundred lasts, and as for barley, oats, and peas, there are none to be had. To-day the following prices have been paid :—Wheat, high red, 400 to 435 florins per last, o f 1,61 b o w s (scheffel). Red, 350 to 375 florin,. Inferior sorts, 320 to 330 florins. Rye, 185 to 200 florins. At these prices, however, very littl e a t thi s m oment is to be had ; the fine descriptions of wheat in particular are scarce, they can be had only in small parcels. For wheat much higher prises are asked than have yet been paid. It is repwkalde that the last purchases of rye seem to have been made on English account. Te.day 214 florins have been paid for rye, anti *BO florins for best wheat. TIIE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE.
