Of whom may be had, The EDINBURGH ruNIEW, from its Commencement. regulated by accurate estimates, and well-inform ed judgments. " It is proposed by some '' to bring down the price of articles necessary to. existence, to a level with the price and scarily of labour." Limit in. the proposal of this object, and in the means sug gested for its attainment, the first principles of political economy are overlooked. The price of provisions bear. no necessary' relation to that of labour ; but is wholly regulated by the supply and demand for prorisiOns; as the price of labour is by that for the. supply and demand for labour.—lf the ratio of supply to demand, itt the one case, does not 'coincide with the saute ratio in the other, it will be impossible to adjust the price of the former to the level of the-latter ; and any at tempt - to do so; by - legislative enactment,. or pri— vate combination, will only enhance the evil. On this subject, as on most others connected with politics, the great Burke may be regarded as, an oracle next to infallible. He •ays, in his Thoughts and Details on Scarcity, "The balance between consosoption and production makes price. The market settles attl-ean alone settfrailiTprice.-- Aarket is the meeting and conference of tt‘e Con- ; sumer and Producer, when they mutually discover each other's wants. Nobody, I bi•lit.ee,.has,ob. served, with any reflection, what-Market is with oot being astonished at the truth, the. correctness, the celerity, the general equity, with which the . balance of wants is settled. They who wish the destruction of that balance, and woohi fain, by arbitrary regulation, decree, that defective pro duction should not be compensated by increased price, directly lay their -axe to the •root of. pro- duction itself." " It is ohketed that the middle men combined .! ro raise the price of corn, during the whole of last wirer. The assertion is utterly unsupported • by proof, and equally inconsistent with probabi lity. to few individuals may doubtless agree, in any trade, not to injure each other by cotnpeti riou but in a trade so extremely extensive as the Corn Trade of the British Empire, it is not very likely .that such agreements can much affect the general state of the market. Well, but lath vidnals keep back their stocks from the markets. To be sure they do, in corn, as well as in every thing else, so long as they think it for their own inte rest : and does any body expect, that buying and selling can be carried on in the world upon any other principle ? " Men are tempted," says a profound and elegant writer on the History of Civil Society, " to labour, aril to practise •Incra tive arts, by motives of interest: Secure to the workrnAn (or trader) the fruits, of his industry ; give him the prospects of independence and free dom ; the Public has found a faithful Minister in the acquisition of wealth, and a faithful Steward in the hoarding what he has gained." 'J'he ro mance of social life would soon come to a very tra gical denoument, if it were to be conducted o n ly be di,intersted Meahnen, and - serithnental Millers. It is however asserted, that some of - thitse factors who have kept their stare-houses closed, " will now nearly be ruined ;" and that " one firm will infalibly lose sixty thousand pounds upon its stock in hand."' This may prove, that the individuals in question have speculated injudiciously ; • but it would have been much worse for the, Public, if they had not speculated at all. To be sure, when the corn trade was'in a rude and barbarous state, no man ever lost sixty thousand pounds by deal ing in that commodity ; but the country at large suffered frequent famines, such as have not oc curred in Englaud for the last 350 year!. Before that period, it was not uncommon foe great num bers of people in a year of scarcity to die of abso lute hunger, nor for many thousands more to Pe rish of the plagues and pestilences which always followed in the train of famine. " We have spoken thus much in favour of the freedom of commerce ; because to all practicable ; that is to al! real freedom, we are sincere unvary ing friends. rt often falls to our lot to expose the folly, or worse motives of some pretended friends to Freedom ; but where we can distinctly perceive that the exercises of power have no ten dency to promote the interests or happiness of mankind, we shall feel it a duty to argue against them, even 'in opposition to writers for whose ge neral sentiments we may entertain considerable respect." WINDSOR, JULY 31.—About 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Queer:, accompanied by the Prin cesses and the Lathes in \Waiting, visited Lord and Lady ASHBROOKE, at Beaumont-lodge, bear Old Windsor, where the Royal guests and a select party partook of a sumptuous dinner prepared for them.

On tl►e night before ycsterday, there arribecV here the dispatches of Major-General Nlello, who completely. destroyed the cciebrw.ed division of.the South, if such a 'title be indeed tneri►ed by those Mild and obstinate rebels who sallied frot; Pcrilanibkico to attack our troops, whom they knew to be at Serinliacat. There arrived 31.0 two standards, of which the one, that , isju the best condition, was immediately sent to flit) tle,Janeiro, by the Lieutenant Coitinel Cosme.llainiao (tat:out:a Fiche, in order to be laid as the foot of the throne. It would till many ,pdges to describe the loyal rapture of this city on the night of the art ival of this most fortunate news, which, covers us with so much glory. The city was illuminated, and no one could' sleep all night for the sound_ of bombs and rockets, together with the merry notes of singers and musicians. The indefatigable zeal and activity oft he Judge, Dr. Jourdan, and of the respective members of the Senate, prepared, us if by enchantment, dur ing the night, a grand fete in the College which nerves fur a - Cathedral. At mid-day, yesterday, the church appeared in full decoration, the mu sics sounded . ; and there was the most nume rous assemblage that could be collected, crown ed by the amiable presence of his Excellency the Conde dos Arena. On a sudden the Royal Preacher and Protessor of Philosophy, Ignacio Jose do Macedo, ascended the pulpit, and began a thanksgiving sermon; with the following words 'from the 43d Psalm': In nomire teqcontem nemus insurgentes nobis. He said that the ob ject of his discourse was to kindle one mole spark in the general flame of gratitude and joy with which the• whole Assembly glowed ; and Mixing the precepts of moral and political philosophy with ti;e dogmas of religion, he showed how great were the dangers of liberty when ill understood and that in the moral system, as well as in the )ysical, there must be a common and legitimate centre of attraction and subordination, by which alone nations can be happy and tranquil. He coni- • pared in all points of possible resemblance, the insurrection of Pernambuco with the insurrection of the ungrateful Israelites against David, the best King - of Judah. He compared the prmlenCe and zeal of our Government ‘vith the prudence and zeal of General Abner and Joab, the beloved blends of King David ; and he adorned his subject . with ali those beauties of erudition whieb b s narrow limits of time permitted. When the sermon was over, Te Deum succeeded, which was followed by a long volley, and by salutes from some ships in the harbour. The Most Illustrious and Reverend Vicar of the Chapter performed the l'e Dean: in conjunction with his Chapter. We have not time to relate with exact accuracy all the circumstances of the victory, and we can only give the following Extract, which is put to gether in the best order that we are able : On the" 12th intelligence reached Serinhaem, that the Insurgents intended to attack the ad vanced guard of our army, posted near the works of Ciriro Cavalcante. In consequence, on the 13th, the army mambo', and took up its positions in the works of l'endoba Grande and 'Peguena. On the 14th, the plan of attack was arranged, and On the 15th, at 11 o'clock in the morning, Major Salvador marched with a force destined to occupy the Pojaca, which he in fact occupied, but was exposed afterwards to all the fire of the enemy. At half past five in the afternoon, the main body - of the army arrived, and came to action in the place called Guerra, having Major Gordolpo in from, and Captain Paula,, who commanded the artillery, and began the firing. The action lasted till night, and the two Majors Salvador and Gar dolpo were much distinguished. In the course of the night the insurgents dispersed, and were pur sued by detachment a commanded by Brigarte major D. r o ds, and by the Captains Hermogelies, Manuel Duarte Argollo, and Jose Felix; and all. their positions having been abandoned in hasty flight, there were found, in the morning, on tile field of battle, five pieces of cannon of different ealillre, a carronade, quantities of ammunition and provision,. and the military chest %vitt) nearly a million of reis-. Many prisoners were taken, and there were great numbers of killed awl wounded ; a great part of whom were officers, and some even leaders of the Insur;; ; ents. After this action, intelligence having arrived that the insurgent Martins was matching at the head of a column on Serinhaem, a body of 300 troops, under the command of the Captain of the Militia, Penedd Antonio Jose dos Santos, was dispatched against him, 'which completely rowed his force, taking many prisoners, and among others, the celebrated leader of the revolution, Martins himself.

The subject is highly interesting to the community at large, hut particularly to the lower classes of the people, who generally take a very limited view of things, and, wider the pressure of their necessities, are too much disposed to lEiten to the dictates of their passions, and to become the dupes of artful Demagogues " Mice OF BHEAD.—We are happy to find the accounts from all parts of the kingdom still con curring in the prospects, which they held out, of a favourable harvest. For this, if the hope should be realised, we shall owe to Providence the warmest gratitude, it it should be frustrated, the most implicit submission. By frequently and earnestly impressing these sentiments on their flocks, the Ministers of religion will discharge an important duty to society ; and, ivithout taking part in disputes foreign to their sacred functiOn, will lay the foundations of general tranquillity. From political writers, something more.is to be expected. They do right, in endeavouring, to the best of their ability, to develope the Means by which the dispensations of Providence, whe ther in time of plenty, or of scarcity, may he ren dered available to the good of all classes, and more especially of the poor ; but in such specu lations much caution is necessary. Ignorance, and rashness, and passion are carefully to be guarded against, both in the writer and in the reader ; nor is good intention always a sufficient safeguard against errors of the most fatal tend ency. The subject is a delicate one. Those who labour for a bare subsistence, and they must in ail stages of society be . by far the majority of the population, are naturally jealous of any unfairness in enhancing the price of that snbsistence:. and hence a glamour against. the dealers in provision is too apt to er,d in the plunder of -b4kers' shops, the pulling down granaries, and the Conflagration of stack-yards. " The price of bread has doubtless been high for some months past ; but has it on the average of the country been unjusiifiably high ? That is what we feel great difficulty in believing. It is certainly not proved by the late rapid fall in the price of corn ; for we are quite satisfied that of ail trades tnere is no one which suffers so tt►uch front the alarm of a plentiful supply as the Corn Trade. The harvest, on the most favourable cal culation, cannot be much more. than an a verage crop : because the. land cultivated, and the ca pital employed in the cultivation last year, were considerably below the average of former seasons. What is the consequence of an unfounded expec tation of plenty ? in all trades, it depresses 'nice for a time, only to raise it the higher afterwards. Bread, for instance, is sold cheap tor a few weeks ; its cheapness produces a most wasteful constowp ;jou ; anti in a short time the price rises far higher, and the scarcity heconu e, more intoler able to the pour man, than it the market had beau . • 1 / 4 \ t ‘A .
