THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, J. 10.

The arrivals of all sorts of Grain last week were considerable,
and thee. was a very large quantity of Flour. This morning
there are again good supplies of all sorts of Grain, except Oats,
the quantity of which is only moderate. The Wheat trade
12. ms been extremely dull this morning, and prices are declined
2s. per qr. on the best qualities, and other descriptions are
still lower. Barley did not meet buyers to-day till the factors
submitted to a decline of Is. to 2s. per quarter from the terms of
last Monday, but at this reduction stained samples are nearly
unsaleable. Old Beans fully support the terms last quoted,
but New Beans meet a slow sale at is. per quarter reduction in
value. Grey Pease are declined ls. per quarter. Boiling Pease
are 2s. per quarter lower. Oats do not meet buyers readily, but
this article nearly maintains the terms last quoted. The Flour
:rade is extremely dull.

Extracts from the Morning Papers,Jan.lo, 182.5.

[nniTisti PRESS.]
The Paris Papers of Friday arrived last night.
The attention of the French public seems di-
vided between two principal subjects; the first,
and to them most immediately interesting, is the
Royalist indemnity, and the collateral measure
for reducing the Rentes; the other is the recog-
nition of the new American States by the British
Government. All the new interests that have
iseit in France since the Revolution are opposed
in principle to the Minister's plan of indemnity
to tho Royalist sufferers ; and even the Royalists
themselves complain of tin- mode of execution,
evidently devised byM.deViliele to render himself
for several years to come absolutely master of their
fortunes. But as connected with the reduction
of the Rentes, the Minister's plan L. attacked
with great vigour, and, on his own showing, with ,
unanswerable force. He represents that. the emi-
grants are as just and rightful creditors of the
State, as the actual stockholders, yet he pro-
poses to treat them quite differently. To the.
latter he offers au augmentatiou of one-third of
their capital, on condition of reducing their inte-
rest from five to three per cent. A stockholder
now possessing 100,000 francs at five per cent.,
will, if he should avail himself of the option
given by the proposed law, become entitled to a
capital of 133,33 francs at three per cent. His
annual income wil', by this operation, be reduced,
at the end of the year, from 5,000 to 4,000
francs. He will suffer no suspension of his rights
for a-single hour, and though his inconw will be
diminished, his principal will be considerably in-
creased. Let us -now look at the condition of tine
emigrant, who, according to the Minister's own
representations, is every whit as much entitled
to be considered a public creditor as the stock-
holder himself. Suppose the case of a Royalist,
whose estate was worth 1'25,000 francs when it
was confiscated ; it would be sold for at least a
fifth less than its value ; it is estimated in the
registers of sale at one hundred thousand francs,
for which he is to receive indemnity as. a public
creditor in every respect, standing on the same
footing of justice as the stockholder. The emi-
grant, though he has lost his rents for thirty-
three years, is to have no increase of his capital,
he is to receive only a principal sum of 100,000
francs, bearinz an interest of three per cent. and
payable by five instalments year by year. lie
must wait till 152.9 before he can obtain the in-
demnity for his estate, worth 1?-5,000 francs ;
and what does he got at last ? 100,000 francs of
capital, yielding him an income of 3,000 francs,
while the stockholder, who, the Minister says,
has no bettor right than the emigrant, will re-
ceive an immediate augmentation of one-third of
his capital : so that he who is now entitled to
100,000 francs of capital, will next year be the
possessor of 133,333, yielding an income of 4,000
francs annually. To such attacks as these the
French Minister is fairly exposed, and we do
not see how he can escape the horns of the di-
lemma : either the emigrant has not as good a
right to be considered a public creditor as the
actual stockholder, or the Ministerial projects are
unjust. With respect to the recognition of the '
American States, the Royalists affect to hold a
high tone, and even to menace England with the
displeasure of the Holy Alliance. The Etoils
hints somewhat broadly that it will be regarded
as a " declaration, not only against Spain, but
also against the principles which direct the poli-
tics of all the Cabinets of Europe." This sen-
tenee closes with a lofty sound, but it will infuse
no fear into our breasts. The British Cabinet
has well weighed its duties and its interests. It
gave all parties fair warning what it held itself
free to do, and it indicated from time to time the
approach of the act which has just been formally
announced. What had faith can the Allied Ca-
binets reproach us with ? On the contrary, all
has been frank, open, and friendly, not towards
the colonies merely, but towards misguided Spain.
The Moniteur contains the project of law respect-
ing sacrilege, to which we alluded a few days
ago. This is the great measure to which the
French Clergy look for the restoration of
their lost power over the people ; but, unless
we are wholly mistaken in our estimate of them,
it will but increase the alienation that al-
ready subsists. " Every overt act committed
voluntarily, and through the hatred and contempt
of religion, on the sacred _utensils, or the con-
secrated wafers, is declared a profanation ;" and,
according to subsequent articles, these offences
are in all cases to be punished with death; and
w here the consecrated wafers are the objects of
" hatred or contempt" the punishment of parri-
' aide is to he inflicted, that is to say, the sufferer
is to be mutilated before lie is put to death !--
; Why not propose at .once to burnt him ? Why
not revive the punishment as well as the juris-
prudence of the Inquisition ? But what frightful
vagueness in the wording of the law ! All that is
requisite under this atrocious project to subject
any man, woman, or child to the punishment of
death with previous inulilatiou of his body, is the
commission of ant overt act of disrespect" througli
hatred or contempt of religion." Is it in a coun-
try calling itself free and enlightened that such
a measure is proposed? " Hatred or contempt !"
Why, who can define the limits within which any
human being can hereafter feel himself safe in
France ? A single word may lead to the inflic-
tion of a protracted and cruel death. But it
seems the tolerated sects may be insulted with
impunity ; only the Holy Roman Catholic
Church is to enjoy the monopoly of glutting her-
self with the blood of the sacrilegious.

[TILE TIMES]
The Dale labours under sore mortification and
perplexity at the news that England is about to
sign treaties with the ‘4 insurgent colonies" of
Spanish America.; as with Independent and Sove-
reign States. The 1 rench Journalist cannot de-
termine whether this is to considered " a politi-
" cal or a commercial act." We answer, that it
is commercial in form, and that in substance it is
both, asserting as it does, a high political right to
cultivate and secure a great commercial interest.

The toile says that it cannot see how the com-
mercial interest of England would be served by
such a tne.asure. We reply," it is enough for" our
purpowe of England sees," and seizes
the disputed
for his subjects. Again,
theilut tEtel:ileoiliCie)elii.u4l4fie

independence being already established by them-
selves. Once more, exclaims this melancholy
monarchist—we G' cannot discover" what interest
England can have in a recognition of the in-
surgent States, " since it Would be a dent.
ration on her part, not only against Spain,
" but also against the principles which direct
" the politics of all the Cabinets of Europe."—
We can oppose this logic no otherwise than by
reminding the Mode, that the United States of
North America have long ago set at nought that
risk which he here presumes to be an insur-
mountable barrier to the imputed policy of Great
Britain; for the United States haw flown in the
face of those principles which direct the Euro-
pean " Cabinets," by actually recognizing the
" insurgent" States. We may likewise recal to
the notice of the French Journalist, that Mr. Ca-
nning did, above a twelvemonth back, renounce
and abjure all participation whatever in the poli-
tics of the Holy Alliance, touching the New Go-
vernments of America; and did solemnly declare
that his Majesty's conduct would be measured ex-
clusively by a regard to the ittterestsof the United
Kingdom, apart from all reference to those of
the Monarchs who sought to make him a partner
in their own schemes. Moreover, and with sub-1
mission to the Etoil©, the very title by which the
British Sovereign holds his crown is in itself a
standing manifesto against " the principles" of the
Grum European Cabinets ; 'and the flag of Eng-
land, in whatever sea or port of Europe it shows
itself, hoists defiance to that whole code of mo-
narchical" principles" which would erect the pre-
rogative of Kings on right divine, and on the ser-
vility and nullity of nations.

[MORNING cneorsicee-]
Information was received On Saturday from
various parts of the American Continent. From
Buenos Ayres the letters are to the middle of
October. One of these communicates important
news, 'if the next arrivals confirm them. It states
that the Government had just received a dispatch
from General Canterac in Peru, advising that he.
had abandoned the defence of the Spanish cause,
and claiming an asylum in the Buenos Ayreau
States. This letter was received by an Americus
Merchant of the first eminence in the City, and
he places the greatest confidence in the correct-
ness of the channel of information possessed by
his Correspondent. The Members of the General
Congress were beginning to assemble in the ca-
pital, the Government was daily increasing i4r
moral strength, and perfect tranquillity prevailed
throughout the Union. From Upper Peru fa-
vourable advice; had likewise been received, and
in various engagements betwixt the Patriots and
the Royalists, the result universally was on the
side of independence. From the city of Mexico,
the letters are dated on the 13th, and from Al-
varado, on the 16th November. The former
principally are filled with the progress which
the great English Mining Associations are making
in mining and smelting the precious metals. The
Anglo. Mexican Mining Company had made a
contract for the celebrated ValencianoMine; and,
on the whole,nothing can be more favourable than
the information received this (lay respecting these
operations. The writer of one of these letters say s,
that he had just received a letter from Guayaquil,
dated on the 28th Sept. informing him that Gen.
Bolivar had positively ga:ned another victory in the
end of August over the Royalist Gen Canterac,
and had entirely dispersed his army. This news
gives much strength to the intelligence received
from Buenos Ares, announcing the same event.
There had been in Mexico a misunderstanding on
some minor points betwixt the Local and,
General Congress; but it had been removed
before the date of the present ad vices.—
From Alvarado the letters contain informa-
tion equally satisfactory. Many deserters had
passed over to Vera Cruz from St. Juan d'Ulloa,
and represented the garrison of that fortress
to be in a most wretched state. Mutiny aud
dis-
content prevailed amongst the soldiers, and it is
not wonderful, for half of them were laid up with
the scurvy. Hopes were therefore entertained
that it would sul render before long, and that the
merchants would again he able to return to Vera
Cruz. Since the death of Iturhide, these letters
add, that the country continued to enjoy uninter-
rupted tranquillity, and that prosperity and con-
tentment were rapidly advancing the happiness
of the people.

[NEW TIMES.]
The Journal des D) bats of Thursday contains
an elaborate article on the question of Grecian
independence. The writer, who is evidently a
man of talent, takes a rapid view of the policy
which he supposes to actuate Russia, Austria,
and Great Britain, in withholding the recognition
of Greece as an Independent State. Russia.
(according to him) is not anxious for new terri-
tory, but she fears to see the Turkish provinces
in the hands of a more active Power : Austria
is still more fearful of seeing the Russians oc-
cupying any part of Turkey ; while England,
attending only to her mercantile interest, fears
alike to displeaseßussia and Turkey by embracing
the cause of the Greeks. The author of the article
appears to us to have displayed more of ingenuity
in speculation than of sound information. The
question is much more complicated than he de-
scribes it to be; and the views of England its
particular are far more comprehensive. Little
doubt can exist but that Greece will even-
tually cast off the Turkish yoke ; yet it
would be premature at the present moment to

nisters however cannot justly be charged with
indifference to the cause of Freedom and Chris-
tianity, merely because they have not yet been
able to bring all Europe to a common understand-
ing-on a question of so much complexity. On the
ether hand the step which our Cabinet has taken
in recognising Mexico, Colombia, and Buenos
Ayres, excites the wrath of n certain class of
politicians in France ; and some persons have
thence augured a dissension between the two
Governments on this account. To this cause the
private letters ascribe the slight depression which
had taken place in the price of the French F'nnds,
which left off on Wednesday at 102 f. 02 c. ; but
were done after the closing hour at 103 f. 25 c.

LMORNING HERALD.]
The produce of the Revenue is such as ought
to satisfy every body ; and furnishes undeniable
proofs of the prosperity of the country—in which
its good government is necessarily implied. We.
are far from wishing to deny the present Minister
of Finance his full tribute of applause. Allowing
for the comparatively easy task he has to per-
form, we think Mr. Robinson is entitled
to no mean rank among the number of those
who have held the office which he so ably
and sati-factorily fills. This being the case,
we cannot comprehend the wisdom, the pru-
dence, or necessity of bringing in aid of
these satisfactory truths any tiring like delusion
er deception, but which is manifestly resorted to
by-those who would have us to believe that the
accounts of the last year, just published, show an
Excess upon the last year's ordinary revenue over
that of the year preceding, of 1,067,6911. Now,.
when it is considered that the whole of this,
and half as much more (viz. 1,733,3330, con-
sists of the repayment from Austria, such an in-1
Terence drawn from such premises, is an obvious
fallacy and imposition upon common sense,
and so far from serving the cause of Government,
is calculated to do the very reverse. Surely
when taxes to so large an amount have been re-
pealed, the country might reasonably expect a
proportionate falling-off in the revenue ; instead
of which, if we see it in the aggregate almost
reaching its former amount, and in some heads
exceeding it, that must be sufficient to satisfy
every one without the aid of such an expedient
as that to which we have alluded. The repayment
from Austria was manifestly capital, not income ;
arid is a transaction which the soonr it is for-
gotten the better perhaps for all parties. One of
tl:e most satisfactory and important results arising
from the state of these accounts is this—that the
repeal of taxes does not of necessity diminish in-
come, but that, on the contrary, it gives a new
impulse to industry and enjoyment. The man
who ceases to pay so much in window tax or for
silk, wears more silk, and drinks more wine, or
adds a wing or conservatory to his house.

frnE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
Last night we received Madrid Gazettes to the
29th ult. That of the 26th contains the copy of
a letter from London, dated the 11th of Decem-
ber, according to which, Bolivar having advanced '
too far into the interior of Peru, lost 6,000 men in
a general battle. He was moreover so hard press
ed in his retreat by the victorious Royalists, that
it was extremely problematiCal whether he would
be able to escape by sea with the miserable
remnant of his troops, particularly as the Asia
had been ordered with other vessels to cut off his
passage. The Gazette of the 28th contains a
confirmation of this important news, in a letter
written by a Catholic Priest at Jamaica, only
that it represents Bolivar's defeat as more over-
whelming ; whilst it adds, that a general embargo
has been laid in Jamaica, in consequence of the •
consternation produced there by the intelligence
We understand that the sentries were doubled
at the Tower of London and at Carlton House,
and that the King had some thoughts of flying to
Brighton from the Cottage at Windsor, in conse-
quence of the same account ; but that the alarm
gradually subsided, in hopes that the affair would
not prove so disasterous as it had been at first
described. Advices from Gayaquil are also quoted
tin corroboration of the triumph► of the Royalist -
cause ; and a letter which had most seasonably
reached Cadiz, served to fill up the measure
of the public soy. The Gazette believes, or af-
fects to believe, this compost of. falsehood and
nonsense ; though we should .suppose, from its
hyperbolical language, that it merely attempted
to drown its fears and. disappointment in the
noisy exultation which it displays. If the Ca-
binet of Madrid believed the wild statement, its
credulity without an example, and its stupidity
hicortigible: If it did not believe, it proved
that it would not scruple at a gross fraud,
to meet even a temporary purpose. The
hitter presumption, however, is the more likely
of the two; and, if it be correct, it shows the
state of perplexity into which Ferdinand and his
advisers have been plunged by the overthrow of
their last hopes in that quarter of the world.
The money that has been spent in fitting
out the paltry expedition from Comma, has
been thrown away, which is no cheering rellec-
trowin the state of the Spanish Treasury ; and
new armaments, if there were pecuniary re-
sources for the purpose, would produce a
mutiny of the troops, as no precautions, however
severe, could prevent the real state of things
from being known. The events that have hap-
pened in Peru, will not only awaken the Spa-
nish Government from its muddled dreams of
Transatlantic dominion, but will shake its au-
thority at home, by exposing to the whole
Spanish nation the real impotence of the tyranny,
by which it is at once oppressed and disgraced.
