The Flak of the 31st August contains the same account
of the entrance of the Emperor and Empress of RIISSIA
into Moscow on the 6th ult., or July 25 (( .), which
we received, rift Holland, on the 30th, and published on
the 31st. General Rocne was to meet, on the 29th, the
Greek Coiimittee, to give an account of bis mission. We
suljoin a few extracts :

At an engagement which took place between the Greek and
Turkish Beets oft' Samos, but which led to no result, the fire-
ship of Canaris wu run down. and that intrepid Commander was
severely wounded. lie was catried to Naxos, and the French
schooner Dauphinoise was sent by Admiral Rigny to bring him the
assistance of a surgeon.
The islands are in expectation of what will take place at Samos,
whoae fate they will most likely follow. The Turks are blockading
the citadel of Athens ; the town, after being set on fire, by the in-
habitants, was evacuated.

wilt about a thousand men : 1,500 Roumeliotes have also quitted
Napoli di Romania for Athens. The troops under Redschid
Pasha amount to about 6,000 or 7,000 men.
Ibrahim has again quitted his camp of Nisei, to march towards
Tripolitza. A part of the Greek fleet is before Hydra, whose Primates
are closely watched. It is not likely that the Turks will succeed
in taking possession of this position, which has become the key of
the insurrection. One would even suppose they are willing to let
Ithe Greeks exhaust themselves again this year; so that the solution

importing bonded wheat, viz. in ease the harvest should
be found deficient. it has been necessary for his Ma-
jesty's Ministers, in eikases where change was contem-
plated, to proceed with great caution—to observe carefully
the effects of one step before venturing on a second—to
let the patient recover from the effects of one unpalatable
and perhaps debilitating medicine before proceeding to use
those further remedies which are necessary to complete the
cure. There are, besides, many prejudices to overcome,
which it is vain to attack at once and collectively—and
those who go on urging Ministers to proceed more rapidly
than is fitting in the career which they are willing to run,
are, in fact, throwing the most formidable obstacles in their
way, and doing as much as in them lies to retard that
progress which they •saish to accelerate. Rye and
oats arc a specks of produce which abound in the
corn countries of Europe, and we have no doubt that
the supply will be ample; nor will the relief which the
measure is calculated 'to afford. be 'confined merely
to the consumers of oats and rye. The inferior
sorts of corn arc as welt Calculated to support life as wheat.
Rye for bread ,is "referred to wheat in many parts of
Europe, not from necessity, but choice; for it is used in
some countries by the richst' well u the poor. It requires
no sagacity to discover,*hen two things equally answer the
same put pose, that the most easily procured will be pre-
ferred. Admitting the superiority of wheat, as food, no
one will purchase the emeparative luxury, unless he has
more than sufficient means for procuring the necessary.
It may be found, in fart: that the crop of wheat has ex-
ceeded, in point °Veleta**, the• due proportion which it
ought lobar, in the present distressed state of the 'country,
to the inferior &scripting' of human food. One thing is
certain—unless a speedy rise In the prices of manu-
factured produce should take place, the price of wheat
must undoubtedly decline with that of oats and rye. The
general article of food will be augmented in quantity, and
therefore food in general Inuit decline in price, wheat being
supplanted in the market by another commodity. Dis-
cussions on this subject are necessarily obscure, and nothing
but their paramount utility could induce us to occupy our
columns with them. It is perhaps as useless to argue
with some persona on this subject, as it is to attetnpt to
persuade a Cockney, when he talks of cutting off corners
in walking through the streets, that the opposite sides of a
mutt& are equal to each other. There is only one
argument which the sticklers for antiquated and absurd
restrictions seem at all likely to listen to. A few men of
abilities are, perhaps, yet unconvinced on the subject of
the Corn Laws ; but the great majority, who continue
obstinate, are men who will listen to nothing but the voice
of rebellion ; and so dull are their sensitive organs,
that they do nit yet hear the murmurs preceding the
tempest. Far be it from us to say that such conduct on
Ole part of the people would not be improper and unlaw-
ful; but what advantage is there in shutting our eyes
"pima an evil that will come ? When a man is led to
execution 'he may bandage his eyes ; but he is s fool if he
'does so while there is any hope of averting the calamity.
...!very one knows the effects produced by the haughtiness a
French Seigneurs at the time of the Revolution ; and
trust
trust that Providence-dill avert those burnings and
sacreings which led to the subdivision of property a.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
The extensive effect produced in the British Stock Mar-
ket within the last few days still occasions a great deal of
comment, and, from the present state of affairs, it is quite
clear that the sudden transition in price was the effect ,of
speculation, and speculation alone, for to-day Consols have
realized the quotation within i of what they were on
Saturday morning, and this in the face of au immense sale
this morning at 78L which, under any other circumstances,
would have had the effect of depreciation. In opposition
to the usual rule, however, they gradually attained 791, at
which price there were buyers at the close of the Market.
For the Account they are put at 792 f. The rumours of
wars ceased to trouble the Market to-day, and the only
question was, whether or not his Majesty's Ministers
would open the ports/ It is very gravely asserted by many
that the Government is unwilling to do so, unless as a
measure of necessity under the last extremity, and that
they would rather assemble Parliament in order to have a
full discussion of the subject. However this may be, it is
highly necessary that the question should be put at rest,
for the Grain Market is paralyzed by the doubts and ap-
prehensions under which it at present labours. Exchequer
Bills are 18, 19, and India Bonds have realized 30s.
premium.
In the Foreibn Market Mexican Bonds have varied
about 2 per cent., showing an advance to 534. The Bears
are all alarmed now at the idea which prevails that the
dividends will be paid ; while the Bulls assert that not
only will the October dividends be forthcoming, but that
two more in advance will be advertised. The information
