• 'We lifoie just received accounts froin,Pav,4ge
a the 28th, at which time 'Pamptuna still held
but was expected to fall immediately, :At

Bayonne the enemy was fortifying himself, ;pull nn
immediate invasion of France by the GREAT Low)
seems to be certainly anticipated on all sides. It
is a measure which we have never ceased strenr►-
ously to advocate and recommend. The follow-
ing are the only particulars by the Olive Brandi,
arrived at Penzance : •

" PASSAGr, SEPT. 27.—We are here in daily
peoation of hearing that our army is advancirg.
Great anxiety is said to prevail upon the French
tronticrs, and* at 13aion:le, where much alarm
prevztils ; preparations are making on tt veryilarge
s Lc itir its defenee : this. at least. uroves thlf rho

inhabitants of that town do not consider them
selves in perfect security.
Pamplona has not fallen, although it is- a.
event shortly expected."

We are still without the expected arrivals from
the North. Such rumours respecting the Conti-
nent as have suffered invention since yesterday,
we have pla 4:d among our common paragraphs,
,where our Readers will find them, and attach just
•as much credit to theth as from their probability
and plausibility they think they deserve. We
absolve THE SUN from all responsibility.
The report most pertinaciously persisted in, is
that which involves, in a whispered •inuendo the
character of the Austrian Government, and
would teach us to fear some indistinct sha-
dow, which credulity and ignorance have paint-
ed in the shape of an attempt at another
Armistice said to have been proposed by BUONA.-
rnarE, andilistened to by the Emperor FRANCIS.
Such is the bugbear of the- day, to which, if we
could attach any importance, it would be to
think more hardly .of human nature than we
are inclined to do. For it could only be
deemed worthy of credibility, on the supposition
that Austria, immediately after clearly demon-
strating to the world that she understood her own
interest, should 'become insensible to them ; that
she should be as senseless as baie; .as mutable as
besotted. But'we have no reason to imagine this
to be the case. We know for what she assumed
arms—we knaw how she has conducted the
war—and it Would be madness in an idle Mo-:
went, when all intelligence is absent, to believe,
on mere supposition, that she bad torgotten her
solemnly declared principles, and by tergiversa.-;
Lion blasted her fair fame. .

We observe, with pain, that in theexecution of
a prudent and laudable intention, some. of our
Contemporaries, -in contending against the policy
•
of interfering with the view to moderate the nre-
sent high price of bread, have, supplied .argn.
ments which may be perverted to a defence of the
worst and most oppressive of all monopolies:—
We are told, that it is idle to talk of compUlsory
measures for lowering the price of bread, either
in time; of scarcity or of plenty. To this we
answer, then do away with the assize altoge7
thcr. Either do not regulate, at all, or regu-
late by a standard that cannot be falsified by
the combinations of any set of men. To us it
appears idle to'cOndemn compulsory Intasurei in
too, when the Very system di assize is a com 7
pulsory
,measure, 'and the only matter at issue
is, not whether there shall ,be 'any' interference
but whether the interference should be modified
by the price of. one commodity or of another
whether by flour or wheat.---Nowthisis a vitally
intergstiog question, not only for the poor,but for
all, classes of the community. We would be the last

persons in the country to administer poison to po-
pular contagion, or countenance senseless outcries
upon any subject. But neither shall we be deterred
by common-place maxims froth mixing our voice
with the voice of the people, when we are convinced
that their claims are just; their complaints
well founded. This appears to be, prima facie,
the case with regard to the general feeling
expressed against the enormous price at which
Bread continues to he sold, notwithstanding
that a bounteous Providence has blessed the
country with a hotrvest of .almost unparallel-
ed abundance. The natural consequence of this
ought to be, that the produce of the earth
should be brought to market at a low rate.—
The grower would have no reason to
com-
plain of this.. If his field yields hint a* thousand
bushels instead of,five hundred, the sale of the
former at twelve shillings will repay his labour as
amply as the
,sale of the latter would hate done at
twenty shillings. .This seems to be plain and in-.
telligible reasoning., I rhos nothing to do with any
clamour against millers or mealmen. It only states
what ought to be the result of abundant crops,
from the benefit'. of whicii, ,to the extent they are
intitled to, tlTpublic of the Metropolis and of all
great towns where au assize is fixe.4l, are by some
means or other excluded. There is no necessity for
bringing the whole harvest at once to market, in
order to produce lowrices, which wituld be follow=
ntl byscarcity and exorbitant ffernands. ,This is an
extreme
argument, and consequently a had one.-.-
All that we ask is, that a reasonable proportion
of the plentiful crop of the year should come into
fair competition in the open minket—then the
market would settle itself equably and justly, and
,we are convinced bread would be cheaper than it
Is at preterit. But this is like other excuses in
favour of monopoly and artificial scarcity,—other
prudent adviees which bid us starve in the midst of
a 'want should hereafter
plenty, lest the hour
come. Thus we have been told the Mills could
not
,work on account of the long drought—

• .
.tlie monopolists, it pleased God to inundate them,
.on the very day it was put forward, with coploes
°and Pniversal rains. Then vre are instructed on tho
advantages arising urcommerce and to the poor,

frpm the employment pf large capitals. We grant
that many benefits may be derived from th is soutte i
but at the same time assert it as no difficult pro-
blem, that numerous evils may alsly proceed front
•the same spring. The iipuopoly Of capital is just
as it may be used—:i
curse or a blessing to.
nation. The present price of Bread, in Lorkho';

we take to be a proot that lit one. instance 4tica, ..7

it is a curse. , • , ,
With these impressions upon our enties we can'
not too highly continent! that spirit whicli,.thetigh •

the institution
of measures, which we vet will
terminate in putting the market in Mark-llot
on a better footing. The whole country "4
reap the good of this example, and have cause" '
rejoice in the revision of the existing sYste4
which experience 'demonstrates to be inadeeta
.to the prevention of extortion.
In conclusion; we beg to have it reinerel,e4..
that we neither have condemoed or pointed P.
iti
reprobation towards any class of nice. On
rat(
contrary, when Ave first took up this imps.-
subject (and we pride ourselves in being tic fi4

hardships under which the Bakers of Bre.ad k
boured, and endeavoured, in so far as we ciiill'ls7
inculeste a mode by which they would be relieved,
and the people benefited.
