CORN- BILL

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

yoti remarlis upon Mr. Wtt.-
INs' Letter 'respecting die Corn Bill, and other
matters ebimected therewith, I perceive that you
deal hardly with Air.. COKE, as' a great 14)eig
Land-owner, %vim- neserts his professed patriotic
principles to support the high pr;ce of Corn.
Lattylar, indeed, from thanking GOD that I
never approved or Mr. ,PITT it", a Minister; Peace'
to his shade ! say I, and glory to Ins memory',
and gratitude trout Country ! But, with re-
spect to the Corn Bill, I beg to observe;
1. Tise assistath.'e front the Parish to the Poor
is always'int proportion to'the price of Corn,- and
sinks or rises tv.-thit.

2.. 'Das ratio is actually proliided for by 'the
Pont Laws

3. 'fix price of- Labour, as well as Parish al-
lowan, sinks with the price of Corn, when.
Corn. drops. •,
4. That, therefore, even granting that the Corn
Bill raises the price of Vont, it .can wake no dif-
ference to the Labouring Classes in England, at
_least, where the patters to the Four Rate tire not
insolvent. „

5. That Mr. COKE i 5 so' good a Landlord,. that
it i 3 chiefly his interest with the Latni-occuPitA's
thar rQtorns him so decidedly As l‘lell)ber for Nor-
frlic-; and 14344 - \lv. Cot :F.'s Rents are so mode-
Lles that he could not feel it necessary to kwer
thou, even though Corn should fall to 40 shillings
a quarter. •

1 who write this 'am entirely independent__ of
Mr. COKE ; my political allegiance lies elsehere
but I think. it fair to state these plain arui simple
truths. Your obeiient ,Servant,
. A NORFOLK GENTLEMAN.

" CADiZ, MAY 2.—A strong, a very strong_
party•exists here hi favour of the Cortes and the
Corvtitution. An Address, determined, almost
violet, in its nature, has been transmitted to the
Cortes, vowing faithful and lasting attachment to
them ; and asseithig, that they will trot listen to
any concession Or -compromis'e with the King :
he must, they say, tare the Oath to the Consti-
tution,as-presuibed by their ,Body.
Manain, MAY 9.—Sir HENRY WFMLRSLEY,
the, Britisli Ambassador, is expected here from
. Valencia immediately, and his Majesty the King
will, we• hope,- be at Arankiez in a few days.---•
. • Hi. Maesty, we im:lerstand, 'was to leave Va-
. lencia on thesth. There has been a considerable
concussion of public feelliv:, but we ardently and •
earnestly hope matters will smooth as the King
• approaches his Capital..
. " LoGnoiso, Afay 4.—The Conde of ABISVAL,
General in. Chief of the Army of Andalusia, has
arrived here,, and .established his head-quarters
. —bis-teoops are,cantoned in the cowl) and neigh:-
hourhood—every soldier has sworn implicit allegi-
anceand obedience to the King, and his Excellency
the General in Chief has addressed his Army,
inforcin,g to them the duty. they owe their legiti-
mate and restored Sovereign. Every writing upon
, • the public buildings in this neighbourhood, allud-
ing to the Constitution, has been effaced.
" VITTORIA, MAY 12.---Tilte whole of the
French prisoners of war have marched from this
place, escorted and protected by Spanish dra-
goons till they reach their own lines. •
" The Army of Catalonia have their Head-
quarters at --, a few leagues from Loporico.
• " Field-Marshal Sir Was. Bsa.Eseotio's Staff
and horses have arrived here, on their way to
Lisbon ;. and General- Sir JOHN DOWNIE'S on
their way to Madrid. •
the Portuguese ArmY are expected to march
tbroiigh this town, on their way to the frontier,
and the Third Spanish Army are!to be cantoned
hare, and in the neighbourhood..
" A considerable MPhil:7 Party for the
- Constitution are in this town ; a ball, in ho-
nour of FERDINAND'S return, was prepared ;
but, owing to the rising differences of Party, the
• name was changed, and it was called an Entertain-
ment iii Commemoration of the General Peace:
It was given in the Palace; in a splendid and
magnificent style; English', French, Spanish, and
Portuguese Officers tt ere seen walking arm and
arm. Differences were forgotten ; friendship,
joy, and harmony reigned throughout the happy
night: It is impossible not to be exceedingly
. anxious at this critical moment, and we pray most
earnestly that the glorious struggle which the Spa.
nish Nation has made for Liberty will not lose
its character and fame,- from the melancholy pic-
ture; which a civil war woald sheen against their
' heroic and generous efforts—but 14'ERDINAND is
oti his way to the heart of his kiiigdom, and we
lippe to the. hearts of. all his subjects. A few
(jays must undraw. the curtain, and give the pre-
sage of the future.

" Almost all the English have left this town
for France. The Gazette 61 VitOriahas been
continued, tor iyaut of suhscrilJers.

" The Marchioness De,ht GAn.DA, and almost-
all the persons. confined here OH charges of
son, and attachment to the French interest, have
been permitted to return to their homes, on giving
their Oarole that they won!d not go out without
special eonnnission to do so."
