TBE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1839.

Government, charged with a mission to conduct
the Pretender and his family to Llourt;es.
The high price of bread in France has rearly
produced an insurrection at Mons, in the depart-
ment of the Sarth. On the 14th, the populace
rose in a body, and forcibly detained several wag-
gons, laden with grain, on their way to Chartres
and Paris where they had been purchased by the
Government. So violent was their conduct that
the Prefect was compelled to send for a strong de-
tachment of cavalry, by whom thirty of the ring-
leaders were arrested. The mob having raised a
barricade, the departure of the waggons was delayed
twenty-four hours, in the course of which several
outrages were committed, but, happily no lives were
lost.

NEWS FROM AFRICA.
(Private Correspondence of the Constitutionnd )
MOSTAGi.NENI, SEPT 3, .1839.—Abd-el-Kader has left
Miliana, and has been encamped for several days in the
country of the tribes of Hachem and Metleer. The
Arab Chiefs whom we have seen Assure us that the Emir
has come to an agreement with Marshal Vallee, by means
of Lieutenant. Colonel Sdle, sod that the result of the
communication is, that the Arab tribes rurject to Mand.•n
are in no way to molest the expedition, which the Duke
of Orleans and the Marshal were to conduct from Algiers
to Constantine.

Thus this famous expedition to Hanlza, with which we
have so long been amused, and of which you have heard so
much, would be reduced to a mere mi;itary mzxch, of
which Abd-el:Kader would do the honours.

The wily Marabout woul.l take good care not to oppose
the pacific march of the Prince. Ile knows full well that
the intentions of the Marshal and his syvem of Govern-
ment be favourable to him, and that the breaking out
of hostilities in the presence of the Prince would lead, in
spite of os, to a war, the consequences of which would be
fatal to him.

But in order to inculcate his ideas and get his plans
adopted, Abd-el-Kuler is obliged to employ all the re.
sources and all the arts of his genius. Accordingly he
visits the tribes, exciting in the most obstinate a tannin:-
attachment to his cause, and distributing gifts amore;; the
poorest—the plan which the Emir has been pursuing for
four years to gain time, and finally to invest himself with
absolute authority.
The Dauairs who deserted from Oran in the first half of
August are now at Melita, and in the plains of the Ha-
chcm Gueris. Abd-el-Kader has given a very kind re-
cerion to their chiefs, and has allotted them very fertile
lands.—Le Gonstitutionel.

We learn that Russia continues its armaments with great
activity, endeavouring to keep them secret. This news
and that of the levies contemplated by Austria make a
strange contrast with the unanimity, which the assertion,'
of the supporters of the Ministry persist is maintained be-
tween the Five Powers. —Le Commerce.
BIWSSELLS, SEPT. 18. —The Krng and Queen arc ex-
pected to embark on Thursday at Woolwicn, and to arrive
at Ostend on Friday. The King will be present on the
224 at the opening of the railway et Charleroi. Their
Majesties and the young Princes will return to the palace of
Laeken on the 23d.

The average price of wheat last week was 24.091., and
that of rye 13 091. per hectolitre. Wheat may he im-
ported free of duty, but rye is liable to an import duty of
21.501. per 1,000 kilogrammes. Both may be exported on
the payment of a duty of only 25 centimes per 1,000 kilo-
grammes.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Aro. 28.—There is little appearance
of measures of coercion being tried against Mehemet Ali.
Not only Russia, but France manifests a decided aversion
to it. England, indeed still insists that Mehemet must
evacuate Syria and Candle, and content himself with the
Hereditary Throne of Egypt, but France will rot agree.
It fears a coup de main of Ibrahim, which might be very
hazardous to the peace of Europe, and therefore recom-
mends amicable measures. It is certain that Mehemet on
the threat of the Consuls at Alexandria, that if he per.
sisted in his demands, the English and French fleets woul d
appear before Alexandria, declared that in that case he
would order his son Ibrahim to march, without stopping,
against Constantinople. Tee English and French fleets
are stll off the entrance of the Dardanelles; which, how-
ever, have at pmsent as little to apprehend from them as
the harem of Alexandria. Admiral Stopford is said to
have declared that he ;voted not forc-.! the entrance, except
in one of the three following eases :—.First, If Ibrahim
Pacha should march against Constantinople. Second, If
serious disturbances should break out in the capital.
Third, If a Russian fleet should appear in the Bosphorus.

commutation of the sentence, and this morning the fol-
lowing answer was received from the Government :

" Whitehall, September 19.
" Sir,—The Marquis of Nor manby having had under
consideration the petitions which he received on behalf of
George Coker, who was convicted at the August Session
of the Central Criminal Court, and sentenced to be
transported for life ; having also maturely con-
sidered the Judge's report of the case, I am directed
to inform :you that his Lordship, under all the cir-
cumstances, does not feel that he can, consistently with
his public duty, advise far Majesty to grant the pri-
soner any mitigation of his sentence. Should the convict
at a future time, from good conduct in the colony to which
be may be sent, merit the recommendation and approbation
of the Government thereof, the Marquis of Normanby will
then he ready to consider the case, with a view to some
mitigation of the sentence.--I am, &c.
Mr. Sheriff' 'Wood, &c. &c. F. MAULE.
