THE HARVEST.

Thp corn in our neighbourhood is nearly all
in, and has been saved in excellent condition. The crops are
generally abundant. Accounts from various parts of the coun-
try also state the harvest to be nearly over, and give,n flattering
account of the quality and quantity of the produce.--(Devon-
shire Freeholder.)
The harvest is now general in this neighbourhood, and the
demand for shearers is great beyond the supply. The• town
criers are in requisition every morning before six o'clock, an-
nouncing employment at sd. per threave, besides victuals.—
(Perth Courier.)
Harvest in this quarter is advancing rapidly, and with the
best prospects. A ,great deal is now cut in every direction ;
the weather forseveral days has been uncommonly propitious.
—(lnverness Courier.)
A finer Harvest weather than we have had for the last ten
days has rarely been witnessed. The nights are cloudy, hut
dry ; the days bright, warm, and calm. The corn in this
neighbourhood is now all reaped, with some insignificant- ex-
ceptions, and a large proportion of it is already under cover.
In Perthshire, Fife, and the west of Scotland, the harvest is not
quite so far advanced, but the weather is equally good, and the
prospect of an abundant crop equally flattering.--(Scotsman.)
We are happy in being enabled to state that the turnips in
Linconshire never were looking better, and it is the opinion of
the most experienced agriculturists that there will be a most
abundant crop.—(Hull Advertiser.)
The far greater part of the corn throughout this country
(Cornwall) has been saved ; since the late rains apples have
improved in size, so that more cider will be made than was
expected at an earlier period. The late crops of turnips,which
have been tilled after wheat, are likely to do well.—( LVest
Briton.)
The harvest may now be said to be completed, only a few of
the later crops of barley remaining in the fields:. The conti-
nued dry weather, so favourable to the getting in of the crops,
was most peculiarly auspicious to the general interests of agri-
culture. The dairy farms, which it was anticipated would suffer
most seriously from the drought, have experienced the most
beneficial results, the late oecasional showers having caused the
grass to grow like a second spring. The grazing fields nnw pro-
duce excellent fed; butter is in consequence declining in
price,....( Bath Journa'.)

MORNING POST.I
We received last night by Express French
Papers to the 28th inst. and the Etoile of Sun-
day. They afford but little positive intelligence
from Spain, but abundance of comments on the
-state of that country, and the arrival, rather than
the approa ch, of its decisive crisis. Some of them
even cast their view beyond, and contemplate
the case in which, should the movements which
have broken out in the Peninsula not be prompt-
ly suppressed, it 'would become necessary for
France to interfere. And indeed the situation
in which the French Government is placed in-
volves a singular dilemma. " Shall our troops
march against Bessieres," say the Journal des De-
bars, " if Bessieres resist or be not speedily dis-
armed? In that case France will find herself
the auxiliary of the party of, the ancient Cortes.
which Bessieres combated with her. Shall we
oppose that party ? Then• we become the ally of
Bessieres, the leader of an insurrection ! Shall
our troops espouse no side ? They will incur the
hatred of alt. Shall they attack both parties at
once ? What a horrible situation to be obliged
to fire upon a whole people who lately. strewed
flowers at their feet! Would it be prudent not
to augment their numbers and to leave them
in their present state of military attenuation ?
But should we send fresh soldiers into the Penin-
sula, what would England, nay, what would
Spain herself say ?" These difficulties are more-,
easily started than answered or removed, for
they_are real. They proceed from the original
vice of the expedition by which France, under
the pretence, and perhaps with the hone of
tranquillizing Spain -which her arts alone had
disturbed, purchased the fatal results which have
since progressively developed themselves till they
led to the actual commencement of civil war.
The conduct of France, however, if we are to
judge by her preparations and the general impres-
sion which seems to prevail amongst all parties in
Spain, wilt be guided by the same spirit which
would have corrected and almost redeemed the
injustice and calamity of her interference if it had
been suffered to act unchecked—we mean the
spirit which dictated the Ordonnance of Andu-
jar. Had the Duke of Angouleme not been
forced by the timidity of Louis XVIII. to aban-
don the sound policy which he had then adopted,
Spain would never have been the seat of venge-
ful excesses and executions;. but the-violence of
all parties being equally repressed, a wise, tem-
perate and .consistent system might have been
pursued, which would have conbolidated the Go-

vernment and satisfied the people. Under the
reign of his,Father, and with the experience of
all the "evils produced by thd rejection of his
policy to oppose to the objections which may be
started by other Powers, it is natural and rea-
sonable to expect that the Duke of Angouleme's
plan will be resumed. France, therefore, will'
ttpport both the Spanish Ministers who act upon
that system, and the King who now finds that his
only security consists in embracing it. Should
the Royal arms then fail in subduing Bessieres,
and should the Ultras succeed in spreading
the insurrection to a degree which• ' threatens
protracted war, the two camps of Bayonne and
Perpignan will pour their numbers into the Peni-
nsula, and as the French are already in posses-
sion of all th►e important fortresses• and chief
cities in the land, they will have a decided ad-
vantage which can only be counterbalanced by
indifference or opposition on the part of the Con-
stitutionalists, whom they now come to relieve;
feelings which, though natural after what has
passed, will undoubtedly yield to the still more
powerful impulse of self interest.

[Barristi PREss.]
The Paris Papers which' we received yester-
day bring no fresh intelligence from either Spain
or Greece. It appears that many -arrests have
-been made in different parts of the Peninsula,
and-among all classes of society', from the highest
to the very lowest. The ordiAdry and. extraor-
dinary prisons are filled, -and finally the cells of
the convents have been put into requisition. It
is quite---,certain that the political condition of
Spain must underg6 some change ; and many
months cannot elapse without deciding what that
change shall be. We hope, rather than expect, that
it will be such as we wish. The reports by way
of- Trieste, from the Morea, continue to be unfa-
vourable to trie gallant people who are contending
for their existence. It is stated that Itedscl►id
Pacha had attempted to carry the out-works of
MissOlonghi by assault, but that he was repulsed,
with considerable loss. Ibrahim Pacha remains
at Tripolizza, waiting, it is said, for reinforce-
me tits, before he advances further into the .Country.

[TII E TI M ES.]

' -We received last night the French papers of
Saturday. The unhappy state- of Spain seems
principally to engage their attention. That
wretched and distracted country prcients as great
a riddle to the politician, as a subject of regret to
the friend of humanity ; uniting the evils of des-
potisin with those of anarchy—suffering at once
from the tyranny of Government and the turbu-
lence of factions, and experiencing all the mist.•
ries of civilized society exasperated by the crimes
•and cruelties incident to a state of nature. Each
-province seems to shake off its connexion with
the rest—each class of ' the people lives in de-
clared hostility to the other—and each partisan
of opposing doctrines is armed with fury or fa-
naticism. The friends of the King rebel agvinst
his Government, on pretence of delivering his
person from bondage. The zealots of monarchy
esJeavour to dethrone the monarchy in favour
or his brother. The supporters of legitimacy
'takes arms against the crown, to' defend the
church : the monk, the Royalist volunteer, and
the revolutionary patriot mingle in the fray;
and neither the 'dictates of authority, nor
the counsels of moderation, nor the voice of
religion, can be heard amid the tumult. Yet, in
the midst of this general turmoil and confusion,
while the Ministers of Ferdinand ace denouncing

the rebellion of the Trappist—while they are
setting a reward on the head of, their former
friend Bessieres—while they are filling their:
prisons with Liberals, Carlists, and Royalists,
and converting monasteries into dungeons for the
discordant insurgents against misrule—they are,
at the same moment, discussing in the council the
propriety of establishing the Inquisition, and
sending out a handful of disaffected soldiers to
regain possession of the New World.

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
We have received the Paris papers of Satur-
day, and the Etoile, dated Sunday. The most
important part of their contents relate to Spain,'
which seems doomed to undergo another violent
change, though the data are still so obscure,
that it is impossible to form a clear idea of
the extent of the existing fermentation, or even
of its probable consequences. All that we
are able to ascertain is, that the contest for su-
premacy is not, as formerly, between the Li-
berals and Serviles, bat between the Serviles
themselves and as the struggle of party is always
violent in proportion as the shades of difference
are slight, so the present contention already
exhibits marks of extraordinary acrimony. On
one side is arrayed the Government, namely, the
King and his Ministers, with such of the Royal-
ists as entertain some sober notions on politics ;
on the other side are arranged all the desperate
adventurers, who, with arms in their hands, had
resisted the Constitutional System, and who,
thinking their services inadequately rewarded,
and their merits under-rated, are now anxi-
ous to bring about another change, in the hope
that, in the confusion,)they would be able to in-
demnify themselves for the supposed neglect they
have endured. The discontent of thesemiscreants
appears to be the chief lever by which that un-
tunate country is again threatened to- be raised
from her foundation ; and, in the misery and
ignorance of the lower classes of society, they
find the matter upon which they are able to
work. The regular Priesthood too, who have
all the vices of their body, without any of the
redeeming virtues, such as they display in
more enlightened countries, serve also by their
fanaticism to add fuel to the flame ; but we
cannot persuade ourselves that any man of
real note encourages, either openly or secret-
ly, so execrable a faction. We cannot be-
lieve for a moment that foreign intrigue is mix-
ed-up with the factious matter ; but if we are
mistaken in this, we cannot err in saying that
this admixture has not taken -place with the con-
sent or connivance of any foreign Power, but it
is merely the act of some intriguing anti unau-
thorized individuals. It is also as difficult for
us to suppose that Don Carlos, though his name
is used by the malcontents, has any connection,•
direct or indirect, with them or their designs ; as;
otherwise, we should have probably heard before
now of some attempt on the part of the Govern-
ment to counteract his criminal manoeuvres, by
securing his person.
