Towards the close of last week the price of wheat
had rather declined in the principal markets through-
out France. According to the Moniteur, grain
fell in thirty-eight markets of France during the
week, and only experienced a slight rise in fifteen,
and that from causes totally unconnected with the
question of scarcity.
RUSSIAN INTRIGUES IN SERVIA.--.TIIC Commerce pub-
lishes a letter, dated Bucharest, 15th ult., announcing
that Colonel Rizewigki, after leaving the Turkish capital,
had repaired to Adrianople, where he convoked a meeting
of a certain number of hadjis and noblemen, and advised
them indirectly to proclaim the separation of Bulgaria
from Turkey and its incorporation with the Russian cm
pire. The hadjis, concealing their real sentiments,
and appearing to enter into his views, the Count
openly proposed to them to rise against the Porte,
and promised them the Resistance of Russia. Some
of the hadjis, however, objected that the Russians bad not
kept faith with them iu 1829, and threatened to apprise
the Porte of the conduct of the Russian embassy. Count
Razewiski then changed the conversation, and left Adria-
nople the following day. Similar attempts have, it ap.
pears, also b.:en made in Servia, Wallachia, and Moldavia.
"It is even said," says the Commerce, "that the Autocrat
has offered to form Wallachia into an indopmdent State,
and place at its bead a Prince of his family." Russian
agents had, moreover, spread a report that " Austria con-
templated extending her domination in Italy, and abandon.
ing Transylvania and a part of the Bannat, which might
then be annexed to the projected principality." There
were still 120,000 Russian troops along the frontier of
Wallacbie, ready to invade the principality on an order
from the Czar.

The same Journal has a letter from Moscow,
dated the 16th of September, announcing the re-
turn of the Emperor to that city from • the camp of
Borodino :

" His Majesty was received by the Governor- General,
Prince Galitzin, to whom the Emperor, taking the Duke
de Leuchtenberg by the hand, said :--4 I enter Moscow
with the son of the adopted son of the great Napoleon.'
(He called the same Napoleon a madman, it will be re-
collected, in an address to the troops a few days pre-
viously.) Then turning towards General Klein Michel,
he added The Bonapartes and Romanoffs may well be
excellent friends. Both the one and the other have for
their object the grandeur and glory of their respective
countries.' "

The rumsur that the Grand Duchess Olga wculd wed
Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was again in circulation
at Moscow.

The camp at Borodino had broken up. The troops
commenced their march to quarters on the 15th. A por.
tion of them, amounting to 65,000 men, were to proceed
to the southern governments, and to form the grand reserve
of the Army of the South.
The Augsburg Gazette announces the prvslge of Cap-
toin Walker, R N., through Augsburg, on his way from
Constantinople to London.
The Lloyd Austriaco of the 26th ult., states that two-
thirds of Salonica were reduced to ashes by the fire which
broke out in that town on the Bth. The colony of the
Frank goat ter, and several bazaars, containing an immense
quantity of merchandise, were destroyed.

THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM.—" The Corn•
aws," says the Duke in part of his speech at Brill,
are the main props of the Constitution. Stick by
;he Corn-laws." So, " there is nothing like leather"
after all. Are there any so blind as not to see the
object of these landlords and parsons in their thus as-
sembling themselves together ? " The Corn-laws are
the main support of the Constitution," says the Duke,
who fears that a repeal of those laws would lessen the
annual income he derives from his estates. " The
union of the Church and State is the main prop of the
Constitution," cries George Chetcvode, who fears that
the establishment of a fair-play system of religion would
deprive him of some of the surplice fees which he can
now wring from the pockets of the poor. Was there
ever a closer parallel to the good old fable of the be-
sieged town ? The brickmaker recommends the pur-
chase of a large quantity of bricks ; the stonemason
wishes the funds of the Corporation to be spent in ma-
sonry ; equally selfish and equally careless of the safety
of his fellow-townsmen, the currier cries, " Neighbours,
NIT is nothing' like leather." Just so is it with Georgy
Chetwode and Dicky of Buckingham. " Keep up the
Church-rates and surplice fees," says the Reverend
Gentleman, or you are all ruined." " Keep the price
gof corn up to starvation point," cries the noble end
racious landlord, " or down goes the Constitution and
the best Thstitutions of the country." Do these saintly
and ;oroiy mounkbanks really. think they are deceiving
the people by these faNtastic tricks ?-Aylesbury News.
