CORN-EXCHANG6, SEPT. 6.---The supply of Wheat was very large this morning front Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, but the demand being trifling, the trade was exceedingly heavy, and 2s. per quarter lower than on this day week, and only that of fine quality could be disposed of, so that a considerable quantity remained on hand at the close of the Market. Fine Barley being scarce, fine fresh samples, both of New and Old, 2s. per quarter higher. White Pease being scarce ob tained ss. per quarter more than on last Monday ; the Oat trade was very heavy, at a decline of full If. per quarter ; in other articles there is no al teration.

" I hate Prejudice, and I hate the French"— (says one of - MATHEWS'S veritable Juhn Bulls, on his Parisian Excursion) ; and, really, a not very prejudiced Englishman might take some little dis taste to the " Mounseers" for the antipathy which they manifest against us. This feeling spews itself in a thousand proofs ; all, you will say, of a petty sort, and hardly worth regarding, but as incessant as opportunity makes them, and as im portant as capability allows. The French can not, to be sure, act upon the Sicilian Vespers, nor drive us into the sea, nor even toss us i n to a prison; but what they can do, is heartily and systematically done; and, for my part, I am just as satisfied with the will as the deed. They like our money very well, and it reconciles them to some toleration of our persons—heavy as has been our national offence against their vanity. I observed to you the studied parade of their revolutionary victories,all which, though gained to the exclusion of their KING, they rather oddly identify with the honour of his Throne; and the honest Gentleman finds it convenient to accept the identification ! They have on all the pedlars' stands in the Quays and Boulevards a picture of Lord WELLINGTON, with his hat in his hand, a Emil king countenance, and a profound bow ; pre stning to insinuate a victoty, by pointing his sword toward a loose stone on the ground, in scribed, " Waterloo ;" while a French grenadier stands opposite to him with his cap on his head, a ferocious frown, and an upright attitude, writ ing with his bayonet upon a rock, " Twenty-five years of success." Underneath is this modest and friendly legend—" Our reverse shall be ef faced in a moment ; our glory shall last for ever." And this is exhibited publicly, and gazed at, and admired, and applauded. 1 do not say that this idle resentment, and its still more idle manifesta tion, are worth serious notice, but do not they prove the temper of the people, and their feelings, not, only towards our Government, but towards their own ? They have got up " Jeanne d'.4rc" also, a five-act Tragedy, for the laudable purpose of re viving the feuds of the fifteenth century. The English Regent, BEDFORD, is made to utter worse sentiments than crookbacked Richard, and Joan is, of course, every thing valiant, and virtuous, and wise. Then, her victories are so highly ap- P plauded ! and our cruelties so loudly hooted ! All which, or the crowds that nightly press to the Theatre to assist (as the French term it) at this national exhibition, I should not have thought worth your noticing, bad not the EING actually given some one of the crosses or t ibbons, I for get which, to the Author of so useful a drama, The have manufactured also a little piece, not a very new one, I believe—" Les .4nglaises pour lire," which Ft ench gallantry designs for a slur upon Englishwomen, and which French veracity exhibits for their trite picture. In tbi, precious farce, our countrywomen are held up to the pub lic derision as possessing neither manners nor principles; and the closing laugh of the audience sends every body home triomphantly happy by the curtain and the Englishwoman's petticoats falling in a dance at the same time !—Must you not . acquiesce in this critical and correct repre sentation l—l annoyed a knot of French patriots amazingly the other night, by asking, with ex- ynisite nairele, what countrywomen they were in tended to represent ?—and lifting up my hands and eyes in aitonishinent lit the answer.—Well I might ! But Manchester is the grand triumph. These people who never had an insurrection without the loss of more lives than all our Reformers have hairs on their heads, ate quite shocked at the carnage of the other day, and lament most do quently Over the wickedness of our " Jacobins." :1' hat is the word, 1 assure you. Really it is very comical—but French hi ass is not easily put out of coontenanct, though I had verily nearly at chieved that ninth wonder, by laughing at Frenchman's condolence, and civilly hinting at his tenth of August, and a few other such aras. Let Me, however, conchole with one tesfitnony of praise, The ''renelt wo►nen dress very ►nodestly in public.

GENTLEMEN-4 should not only be unworthy of the honour ot representing you, but I should be destitute of every manly as well es every coo stitutional feeling, it I did not address you to ex press my abhorrence ot the late sanguinary and illegal transactions at Manchester, for sanguinary and illegal they appear to be, even, according to the accounts published in tl,e Newspapers, ',Bost favourable to the abuse of power. I do nor presume to dictate to you any course of proceeding, but it you think it expedient to assemble and record your opinions on this eventful catastrophe, I shall certainly sacrifice those per sonal consideretions which detain me in P‘iiis. and proceed to London to meet you on die day appointed. I (lust 00 Magistrate will be found in the me tropolis to order the military execution of their fel low-citizens ; that no armed citizens will be fount! eager to ina.,sacre an unarmed multitude, svith out even distinction of sex ; but as I consider flit! right of the people to assemble, to delibet ate, and to resolve, as the foundation and bolwaik of eve' y other right, I am prepared to maintain it as be comes a guardian of the public liberty, and no tear of the consequences shall deter me from tiles perfotmance of my duty. It is, howeter, a consolation for rue to think. according to the information I hilve been ennblea to obtain on this subject, at this distance awl date, that the Government of the countty was not advisedly implicated in the offences of the fatal 16th of August. Access to the Throne is, there fore, not barred, and Ow Executive Authority' may be approached with a confident hope that tin Appeal to its justice will not be made in vain. The crisis is most awtol:--contending desvtisnt and anarchy menace the empire with destruction; it can only be saved by the interposition of that body which is composed of Citizens resolved to obtain the Reform of the Representative System, but who also are united for the protection of pro• pert y, knit the maintenance of the established institutions of the State. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obvdient humble Servant. Paris, Aug. 27, 1819. ROBERT WILSON. The LORD MAYOR has not yet given an answer to the Requisition for a Commou Hall ; but has appointed 'Thursday next for a Meeting of the Common Council to consider of the late proceed ings at Manchester. A letter from Valparaiso, dated May 4, states, that Lord COCHRANE has excluded from hit blockade the pint of l'ayta, and left it free for whale ships to enter for supplies. Lord CocH RANE had taken the island of San Lorenza, and had captured a number of small vessels, which he had converted into bomb vessels, and fire mini explosion ships.---The same letter adds, that Captain MYRICK and the crew of the Cossack were still detained as prisoners iu the Gulf of California. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.—AD inquisition WAIL taken at the Anchor and [lope Tavern, at Wal worth, before CHARLES JEmNiti.T, Esq. Coroner for Surrey, on the body of a young lady who came to her death in the following manner :—The deceased, a person of superior accomplishments and education, was an initiate at the house of -- Minton, Esq. at Camberwell, whose son. became her suitor. Ort Thursday or Friday they quarrelled, when the young lady said, site would and drown herself. lie endeavoured to rally her into good spirits, but the whole of that night she spent in a sulky mood, and next morning rose early and left the house. She proceeded to the Grand Surrey Canal, and in the most dangerous part of it plunged in, A labouring Mall, who was passing saw thc• act, but not being able to swim, ran to the ferry-house and related the circumstance to the woman, requesting her to lend him one of the boats for a few minutes, as he could save the Lady's life. This she absolutely refused,, unless he gave her a certain sum of mo ney, with which the man was not then provided. In vain he urged the desperate situation of the unfortunate female ; the boats were chained. and. she refused to unlock one of them till she received , her hire. The man then ran wit h all his speed us the Albany Arms in Long•lane, s% here he received prompt assistance, but too late to be of any avail— life had fled. The Jury were willing to believe that the act was committed under the influence of tem porary derangement, and gave a verdict to that effect ( Morning Paper.)
