C Y, N I .:EDNESDAY EVENING.

A private express from Paris is reported to have come to
hand to the great leader of the monied interest, but as no altera-
tion of the least importance occurred in the value of European
public securities,the information received by this conveyance can-
not have relateini; affairs of public interest. In Paris,at the latter
end oflast week; ft *as universally understood that in Greece the
Christians had gained the most signal advantages over the bar-
barians, and •that-advantages had continued, during the whole
of July, of the ttOst favourable description, to attend their great
efforts in the:cause of liberty. One letter, however, written by
an Englishman, had been received, communicating intelligence
from Zante of the 31st July, of a very different complexion,
but it was )toped that the Turkish Allies of England had on
this occasion decayed their friends, as they had already done in
more instances than one, for it appeared impossible that the
subjection of the Grecki could have been accomplished in a so-
litary month. The next accounts, however, must be waited for
before the truth can be fully ascertained ; and if treason has
found its way.amongst the Grecian Leaders, every British sub-
ject
hopes that ,an Englishman has not been made the agent on
the occasion, as An Englishman (unfortunately for the national
honour) was the; instrument chosen for annihilating the Tiber-
ties of Spain on' the return of Ferdinand.
Since Monday there is a very small supply of every kind of
grain in Mark-lane, but the consumers are not inclined to pur-
chase at the presentprices, knowing that in a few weeks the ar-
rivals of every desCription must be much larger than the demand
can take off at the current value. Wheat accordingly, even of
the finest quality, scarcely maintains Monday's prices; and it is
not possible to effect any sales of inferior descriptions without a
great sacrifice in the present nominal value. Barley is very
scarce, and as some of the needy maltsters must go to work,
prime new samples are worth 28s. though a large bulk of old
and stained was sold at 18s. a quarter. Making Barley must
decline as soon as the market fills, for Irish wheat will be used
this'season by the distillers, unless barley be extremely low.
In the week preceding the 24th of August there were sold in
London 12,080 quarters of Wheat, of Which the average price
was 38s. 4d. a quarter. 'A good deal has been said about the
profits of the mealman, but the following calculations will show
that there is a great delusion respecting the profits attending
this branch of trade :

The average price of wheat is 38s. 4d. Now
Take five quarters of Wheat (561 b. to a bushel), at
. 38s. per quarter - - • . - £9 10 0
Measuring and lightering to a mill, at Bd. a quarter 0 3 4
Grinding by steam (which is cheaper than by wa-
ter), at 4s. per quarter - - 1 0 0
-
Cartage and charges on seven sacks of Flour and
Meal, 'from the mill to the baker - - 0 8 9
Use and risk of seven Flour sacks - - 0 1 9
Collecting the sacks and minor expenees - 0 1 9
Allowance for super tare, at 1 eb.per sack - 0 1 9

Thus thernealman's cost without interestof capital, is Xll_ 7_ 4

Five quarters of Wheat, 501 b. a bushel, amount to 2,2401 b.,
and their produce will be nearly
Six sacks three bushels of weighing stuff - lbs. 1,848
One bushel of fine Pollard - - = 46

One quarter, four bushels, of BraAi, 141 b. per strike - 280
Waste in grinding 40 bushels - 60

lbs. 2,23=1
