THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, Jr:rn 14.
Thero were but moderate arrivals of all sorts of Grain last
week, . This morning the quantities of Corn fresh up arp by no
means considerable. Our millers are alarmed at the operation of
the Grinding Bill, lest a considerable quantity of bonded Wheat
should come in to the market for sale. The present accounts of the
Wheat crops being very favourable, there has on that account
been very little trade for Wheat to-clay, and the prices of the
best samples are Is. 6d. to 2s. per quarter lower, and
other qualities are nearly unsaleable, even at a greater
reduction. Barley continues to sell heavily, on muds
the same terms as this day se'nnight. Beans are full
as dear as last quoted. Boiling and Grey Peas maintain
last quotations. The quantity of Oats at market is not consi-
derable, yet the sale is so limited, that although the prices of
last week are considered to be fully supported, the trade is not
reported brisk. In the Flour trade there is scarcely any thing
doing.

Wheat, red, aid, 60s. 70s. ; new, 40s. 465. ; fine, 48s. 555. ;

CAP L. LOPYT.—We have to announce Om
death of that veteran in politics and literature. CAP %L LorTT,
Esq. lie died on the 26th \lay, at Montrallier, near Turin.
Mr. Loift was twice married. His first wife was a daughter
of the late Mr. Emyln, of Windsor. The surviving children
of that marriage are, a son in the military service of the India
Company, and a daughter. His second wife was a daughter
of the late Mr. Joseph Finch, merchant, of Cambridge. By
this marriage, Mr. L. had offspring., two daughters, who, with
his widow, are in Italy, and a son,• now at Eton College.—
Mr. Lofft, though a lawyer, was most liberal and consistent in
his politics ; and though an author, a poet, and a critic, most ge-
nerous in his structures, and benevolent in his conduct towards
men of genius and letters. If his feelings erred, the failing was

The great Painter's advice was strictly followed by him—no
day without a line. As a lawyer he was indefatigable, till he,
in a great measure, abandoned this rugged road, to devote hint,
elf to the Muses' " primrose path," at his seat, Trostan Hall,
in Suffolk. Here he had, in his second wife, a lady of con-
siderable literary talent, " a meet helpmate." Ile was. a,
sound scholar; and to the office of critic, he brought grear
judgment, excellent taste, and a mind stored with an amaz-
ing share and variety of human knowledge..As a Poet, pas-
ticularly in the Sonnet, as witness his Laura in several
volumes, and various criticisms on that subject, he was
an enthusiast, and perhaps too fastidious and refined, but
certainly not without genius and powers of versification.
Unwearied in his own literary pursuits, he was not less so in
assisting and fostering those of others. The encourage-
ment he gave to Bloomfield, and the labour he bestowed on
the Farmer's Boy, may serve as one instance of many which
might be adduced to prove the amiable disposition of hit
nature. When to this laudable trait, we add, that in pri-
vate life, he was the very soul of sympathy, and urbanity,
while in his public, he was a steady undeviating Patriot
on the soundest constitutional principles ; we need advance no
more to spew how much his loss is to be lamented, or how ill
such a character can be spared in these shifting, trimming, and
degenerate times. Were it more abundant, we should not so
often have to exclaim, " Cu.s.torlia firma sit, ne insidice i;itruit

COLONEL STRUTT.—This Gentleman, wlisse
alarming accident we stated in our Paper of Saturday, had a
good night on Friday, and was better on the following morning;
but we arc sorry to hear he was not quite so well yesterday. His
medical attendants, however, are under no apprehension what-
ever respecting his state, as no fracture has taken place, and
confidently pronounce that he will experience no other incon-
venience than that arising from confinement and the disfigure-
ment of his face. Among the anxious inquirers on Saturday
and yesterday, was her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta,
who displayed such gracious kindness towards him when the
accident took place. The Colonel's escape was most providen-
tial, as the horse was violently kicking all the time his worthy
b a Ge who
master was on the ground, and had nearly rolled over him. He
was in the first instance lifted up by
his amiable and interesting
daughters (who in an instant alighted from their horses) aided
pat the time ; after which im..
mey entlmandiately ensued thewas hum aneng and laudable conduct of the
Princess Augusta as stated in our last, and which so justly en.
deared her Royal
Highness to every beholder of the alarming
scene.

Charles-street, Drury-lane, about five o'clock,
when, from some cause unknown, he suddenly
fell down and expired. The unfortunate man
was well known, and bore a most honest charac-
tr. He had, however, associated with a female
for some years, which at length caused him at
times to yield to intemperance. Two or three
days since he was informed that he could no
longer be suffered to sleep in his lodgings, and
he actually was obliged to walk the streets.
This, it is supposed, so affected him, that it is
imagined he gave way to his feelings, and caused
the sad event. The body lies for a Coloner'a

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
Extracts from the Morning Papers, June 14

[THE TIMES.}
We have received the Paris Papers of Thurs-
day and Friday. They contain almost nothing
but the speculations of the respective journalists
on the recent change in the French Ministry.
It is rather singular that so great a number of the
journals which supported the French Ministry as
lately constituted, should have deserted those
members of it who were regarded as men of the
greatest talent and most. commanding influence.
The Journal tics De'bats, for instance, which has
the greatest weight and most extensive circulation
in France, has taken the side of M. de Chateau-
briand, and declared open war against his late
colleagues and present antagonists. Every suc-
cessive number of that journal conta►ns some new
charge against the present possessors of power,
or some new encomium on the member whose dis-
grace they had provoked. The disclosures of
which this ministerial quarrel has been produc-
tive are as curious as the quarrel itself. Public
opinion in France had been accustomed to ex-
tend over the whole Cabinet the censure of the
abominable means resorted to by official agents
and private menaces of influencing the elections
in favour of the Ministry. M.de Villele has de-
nied any knowledge of, or any participation in,
these manoeuvres. The late ministerial organ
now lays the saddle on the right horse ; and
states M. de Corbiere as the author of the circu-
lars which had given such general offence and
excited such universal alarm. We learn from the
same source, that M. de Chateaubriand is the ex-
clusive author of the Project of a Septennial
Chamber of Deputies ; and as a hint is given of
his negociations regarding the East, probably he
is the inventor of the Russian plan for the retell,-
lion of Greece under the Turkish yoke. The'
mystery that is extended by his friends over his'
exertions in favour of Spanish dominion in Ame-
rica, has no tendency to endear his ministry either
to the friends of general freedom or partisans of
English interests. We strongly suspect that M.
de Chateaubriand had no system of politics what-
ever, and that whatever he (lid or intended to do,
was the result of inconsiderate passion or silly
intrigue. Independently of the stupid clamour
or interested lamentation which will be made by
the Royalists of the Ultra Party, or the personal
friends of M. de Chateaubriand, we believe there
-will not be a voice raised in his behalf. We do
not, however, approve of the steps taken by his
adversaries to disgrace him. M. de Villele is
declared by the friends of M. de Chateaubriand
a man of " insatiable ambition," and all his ac-
tions are criticised and censured with the utmost
freedom. It is even said, that the Ex-Minister
has carried with him all the " moral force of the
" Ministry, while M. de Villele is left with only
" the physical force of a majority." The French
as well as the English public will, probably,
form a different estimate of this squabble.

[MORNING POST.]
Upon the subject of the appointment of a Suc-
cessor to M. Chateaubriand, the French Papers
contain no information ; but our private commu-
nications enable us to give the following as the
definitive Ministerial arrangement :---
. .

Mons. Villele, Minister for Foreign Affairs, retaining the
Presidentship of the Council.
The Count La Foroit, one of De Cazes' Peers, Minister of
Finance.

Mosteader, late Minister in Switzerland, gOes to the Fo.
reign Affairs as Directeur-General.

[NEW TIMES.]

There was lade alteration in the Funds on
• Saturday ; Consols opened and closed at 958 for
• the account. It was reported the French Funds
came lower, but no Express was publicly known
to have been received. The Marquis de Talaru,
it was reported, had been appointed to succeed
the Viscount de Chateaubriand. M. de Talaru
has been for some time Ambassador at Madrid,
and is generally reckoned to belong to the Ultras
'or high Tory party in French politics.

The Globe and Traveller is so good as to fur-
nish us with our own articles at second-hand, as
new and important information. "We give the
following information," says the Editor, 46 for
the benefit of The Courier and New Tintes"--,-
and then he proceeds to detail, in, the form of a
letter from the Ilavannah, the account of the
death of Mr. 'Crawford, the American, who was
killed by a band'of.rObbers in Mexico ; of which
unfortunate occurrence, as our Readers know, a
very full and particular narrative appeared• in
our Paper of Thursday, under the head of
"Mexican Banditti."—Our obliging coternporary
not only furnishes us thus with our own news,
but instructs us how to reason upon it. The at-
tack upon Mr. Crawford and his party, above 201
in number, by a troop of banditti, is alleged as
proving that we were in the wrong to suppose
Mexico to be in a state of convulsion► or revolu-
tion—Curious logic !—(Mid.)

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
PARIS, JUNE 10.—The victory is entirely in
favour of M. de Vilfele. lie remains President
of the Council, and is to unite in' his own person
ad nanistra tion.—
all the different branches of
in France,
Henceforth there will not be a Ministry
but only a Prime Minister. The other Secretaries
of State will only be the chief Secretaries of M.
(le Villele. The party of the Ultras, and the
Jesuits, are quite enraged ; they spit fire , and
flame, and struggle hard to reinforce that ma-
jority in the Peers which has rejected
the
Law for the reduction of the Rentes.—
Messrs. C;hateaubriand and Pozzo di Borgo do
not remain idle in the present state of circum-
stances, and every thing announces an approach-
ing crisis, uult,,,m. de Villele calls to his assistance
a batch of Peers of his own making. The diffi-
culty is to find proper objects disposed to accept;
and the honours created by the Ministry are so
decreed) that there is no means of making a re-
spectable choice. M.
de Villele already strong
in the support of the King, his Brother, the
Duchess of Berry, and Madame du Ca I y a, is
strengtawn
I ing himself with all the influence of

the English party. In this view he has resolved
to send back to London M. de Polignac imme-
diately. This Ambassador will leave Paris on
the 13th, and will be in London on the 16th.—
The ministerial shock has made M. de Villele take

a decided part, and henceforward the policy of
France will be decided by that of England. The
Prince de Polignac, who is on very good terms
with your Cabinet, has refused the post of Minis-
ter for Foreign Affairs, which was at first offered
him ; but it was discovered that it was more for
the interest of the system to leave him at
a post which no other person was so ca-
pable of filling. M. de Chateaubriand, not-
withstanding the clamour of the Journal des
Debuts and the Quotidienne, carries with him into
his retirement the regret of no man ; but it is
true that the opinion of all Paris is decidedly
against M. de Villele, who is regarded as a com-
plete intriguer, who desires to amass a fortune,
and gratify his ambition, at the expence of nu-
merous individuals. By speculations on 'Change,
he is enabled to meet the enormous expence he is
at for Madame du Cayla—at least 100,000 francs
a month, without including what the King allows
her to gain. There is a report of another can-
didate for the vacant post—the Duke de Blacas,
so celebrated for his Administration in 1814, and
who contributed so much to the return of Buona-
parte. It is still said that M. de Peyronnet is to
retire, and his place to be filled by M. de Mar..
tignac.
As we know not what powers the Law has
given to the Church of Scotland respecting
Schools,' we have no means of judging whether
Mr. Owen was or was not legally justified in re-
fusing to the Presbytery of Lanark admission to
his Schools. All we can say is, that it seems an
odd, question in this part of the Island. If the
Bishop of London, accompanied by a body ofi
the Clergy of his Diocese, were to proceed to
one of the schools of Dissenters in this Metro-
polis, and to demand admittance, w e should not
soon hear the last of it. If the Church of Scot-
land have a right to enter private houses, and to
interfere with the course of education which pri-
vate individuals chuse to follow, either for their
own families or for the children of the servants
and labourers they employ, it is idle declaiming
against French or Spanish tyranny. However,
be the law what it may, we should question the
prudence of claiming such a right on the present

[MORNING HERALD.]
_ _ _

In the lli;nse of Lords, Lord Grosvenor
brought in a Bill to alter the laws relating to
Game, which, however, has been lost this Ses-
sions. The Earl of Caernarvon supported the
Bill, but his Lordship said that it was extremely
improper for people to give a high price for
Game, because in so doing they encouraged
poaching. For our parts we are glad to hear of
high prices being given for any thing—it proves
that the thing is of value. So far as this question
is concerned, would it not be best to do away
with the Game Laws almost altogether, and to
let that portion of the gifts of Providence be free
for people to traffic in, as well as cattle or poul-
try ? Why should birds or animals, merely be-
cause they are wild, be the exclusive property of
the lauded Aristocracy ? Noble Lords would
find it to be their interest to throw this trafilc
open ; it would increase the value of their
land. If people are fond of Game, and
will give a high price for ;t, why should
there not be farms for the purpose of supplying
game, as there are for other purposes ? Besides,
if game were to belong to the tenants of farms,
either by agreement from the landlord or other-
wise, more wood would be produced in England,
which would render us less dependent on other
countries for that article. It is a monstrous
position that none but a man possessed of a cer-

tain sum per annum should have the power of
killing a bird, merely because it is wild. We
are setting commerce free ; we extol the privilege
of the Trial by Jury, because there is so much
of freedom in it; we are preaching universal
toleration in matters of religion ; we are pro-
claiming the liberty of the press ; we are giving
knowledge to every child in the kingdom, and
yet we are adhering to the old notions of our an-
cestors with respect to Game. A farmer may
rent a thousand acres, on which are thousands of

hares t}nd partridges living on the stuff produced
by the farmer, and yet laws are in existence
which make it criminal in that farmer to kill or
sell one of those wild birds or animals. Game
is a palatable thing, and there can be no reason
why those in common life should not obtain

it at a reasonable price, which, however,
can never be brought about till the article is
allowed to be freely traded in, any body
could then become a purchaser, a super-
abundance would ensue, and Noble Lords would
have incomes from Game farms, as well as
from arable or pasture farms. The great landed
Aristocracy stand in their own light to keep this
part of the produce of the land to themselves.—
The sooner they get rid of all the Game Laws
the better. Any one ought to buy and sell, and
shoot it without any license; only as property, it
should, in the first instance, belong to the owner of
the ground on which it may be found; and in the se-
cond instance, to the farmer,either leaseholder or
annual occupier, except in the lease or agreement
for an annual occupancy there should be reserva-
tion on the part of landlords as to the Game.—
We are glad, however, that Noble Lords are be-
ginning to open their eyes to the folly of their
ancestors' laws to preserve Game to themselves
exclusively. As for poaching, it can no more be
prevented than smuggliug.

LISIIITISFt PRESS.I
PARIS, JUNE 10.—The utter hopelessness of
his Majesty's permanent recovery, is at present,
as you may suppose, the prevailing topic of
private anxiety and of political speculation. His
present state is exactly described in the words
of Madame Sevigne, where, lu one of her letters,
she, is speaking of Pomenars—/i ne fail pus un
puisse etre le dernier et ton ne le
pus pointeqmi ne
qU'On ne puisse lid dire un dernier
adieu. This eventful crisis, in which every day
teems with some event or other, to hang a
doubt upon, is extremely puzzling to the public
functionaries ; and well it may : it will infal-

libly bring the principles of many of the Ultra
Royalists to the test, and will try the purity
of their attachment to the House of Bourbon.
They will soon be called upon to give an in-
telligible and practical translation of their am-
biguous device, Five le Roi quand meme.—
They will strive, no doubt, as they have hitherto
incessantly done, to identify their cause with that
of religion ; and will endeavour to effect their
purpose by the aid of that old superstition, which
such unsparing efforts have been made to revive
throughout the French nation : but the progress
of knowledge in Europe has advanced too
rapidly, and spread itself too widely, to give
any chance of success to this most Christian
project. Whether on the event of his Ma-
jesty's demise, the two great political sections
will be able to continue the maintenance
of their power with the preservation of the
public tranquillity, remains to be seen. The true
line of national policy is straight enough before
them, if they have the patriotism and good sense
to follow it. They must go with the population
and property of the country. A Ministry of a
neutral character will never do. The affecta-
tion of such a system would be seen through
in a moment ; outwardly and to all appearance
moderate, it would be secretly in league
with the Northern Alliance. 'The Government
could not probably take a more odious position
than this. It would be, in effect, to place itself
in subserviency to powers essentially hostile to
France; but each party, we may be assured, will
act for itself, and with a view to its own imme-
diate interest; for the remark of Voltaire, sar-
castic as it may seem, is perfectly just—" Chaucer
vit pour soi. Sauve qui peut est la devise de chaque
particulier." The rumour of another Congress
still prevails. Of what real utility can this be ?
Not all the crowned heads of Europe can prevent
things from taking their course. If the French
Revolution and the Revolutions which followed
it, had been produced by any cause which Sove-
reigns could overrule, in this case there might be
some assignable result from their assembling In
sacred council, to deliberate on the course to be
pursued for preventing all political agitations in
future.
