THE MARKETS.

CORN-EXCHANGE, ,JAN. 26.
The arrivals of all sorts of grain last week were tolerably
good ; and this morning there is a fair addition of Wheat,
Barley, Beans, and Peas, from Essex, Kent, and t'iuffllt.
The quantities of those that come in at present are truly equal
to the demand, and this occasions higher prices to be obtained
tbr nearly every article. Wheat has realized a further advance
of 2s. to 3s. per quarter since this day se'nnight ; and Flour is
falso expected to advance ss. per sack. Barley continues in
much the same state as last quoted. Beans are 2s. to 3s. per
i quarter higher. Boiling Peas are the same as at last market
! prices. Grey Peas are 2s. to 2s, per quarter dearer. The
supply of Oats being only moderate, and the demand increas-
ink*, this article obtains Is. per quarter more than on this day
se'nnight.

[MORNING POST.]

It will be seeri by our Brighton Letter, that a
sudden attack of the gout prevented the King
from attending Divine Service yesterday. We
are happy, however, to be enabled to add, that
his 'Majesty is in every other respect perfectly
well; though it is at present doubtful whether
his Majesty will be sufficiently recovered from
the effects of this painful attack to be able to give
personal attendance at the opening of the ensuing
Session of Parliament, which takes place to-
morrow se'nnight.

.Paris Journals to the 24th inst. reached us
last night by express. Their contents arc neither
important nor abundant. Much alarm seems to
llave bee►► excited in the Tuilerieson the evening
niThursday last by the following circumstance,
Whtch presents a remarkable illustration of the ce-
lebrated fable of the mountain and the mouse :
" About half-past 7 o'clock yesterday evening a
pistol was fired in the square of the Carrousel,oppo-
site the triumphal arch. The guard of the Castle
and the neighbouring posts immediately armed
themselves ; and patroles were sent out to examine
the place, but nothing was found. The muskets
of the soldiers were next inspected, in order to
ascertain whether one of them might not have
gone off on the rest ; hut they were all found to
be loaded. It is just now reported that the indi-
vidual who fired the pistol has been arrested and
conducted to the post near the Palais Royal, and
that he is a journeyman tailor, who declared that
he meant to shoot himmelf, but that his courage
failed hi:n, and tiring with an unsteady hand, lie
had missed himself." That a journeyman tailor
should-have had it in his power to alarm a King,
and to throw a whole Palace into confusion, can-
not fail to exalt the profession in its own eyes,
and to give it a due sense of its Importance. Whe-
ther it will have the same effect with respect to
the Monarch and its guards, is a different

[THE TIMES.]
- To the narrative already before the public, of
the foreible measures resorted to by the Empe-
ror of Brazil, for putting down all effective op-
position to his authority, is now to be added,
among many other extracts from the Brazilian
journals, a proclamation from his Imperial Ma-
jesty, bearing date November 16. This appears
to have been designed for an exculpatory instru-
ment ; but beyond the manifest purpose of ex-
cursing himself by criminating the objects of his
violence, it enables us to discover nothing.—
The old plea of seditious, disloyal, and sub-
versive conspiracies, is brought forward on this
occasion, in defence of the employment of mili-
tary force against the representatives of the pt,ople;
and the " 9atety of the State" becomes as usual a
pretext for measures which amount to nothing less
than an utter overthrow of every safeguard by
which lawful Government can be protected. Of the
,realty of the provocations offered to his Impe-
rial Majesty by the democratic faction, he does
u,ot convince us by merely alleging their exist-
ence ; and as to the integrity and moderation of
his views for the future, we are left equally to
the guidance of our charity or our fears. There
is little doubt, we apprehend, that the bulk of
the Brazilians who take an active part in politics
may have entertained a degree of soreness towards
the native Portuguese, which the Prince would
construe into a spirit of restlessness and agitation.
It is further, we believe, unquestionable, that the
Emperor felt himself tied up in the article of pre-
rogative,
by restraints whichmust have been most
offensive to any scion of a legitimate stock. The
spread of democracy over the whole continent of
.America would tend to nurture in the minds of the
.Brazilians a spirit not prone to gratify any Sove-
reign by those concessions most dear to royalty :
a stronrj, counteraction between Court and People
had therefore become, we take for granted, un-
avoidable. That the Assembly may not have
been composed of the most sedate, experienced,
and enlightened legislators, there is no denying;
and that the whole constitution taken together
was ill calculated for political service as a mo-
narchy, there appears sufficient reason for sus-
pecting, since all the new monarchies of the last
four or five years' growth were by the bad adjust-
ment of the Executive Power, more fitted for show
than use. But what seems the natural inference from
such reflections ? Why,that there is not much more
likelihood of a middle term satisfactory to both
parties among the Brazilians, than among the
Portuguese and Spaniards ; that therefore as in '
Europe, the two extreme principles of democracy
and despotism have rejected all negociation, and
have fought until one should crush the other : so
is it probable that force, not friendship, will
decide the Brazilian quarrel. The Emperor had
published a- series of manifestoes, each suc-
ceeding one less violent than that which went
before, and thence affording grounds of suspi-
cion that the more angry and menacing of his
declarations had been the most unfavoura-
bly received. But from such state papers we
gather little definite information. The projects
of the Emperor might be better perhaps guess-
ed at from his position, if •it were not trifl-
ing with our readers to speculate on that
which we cannot positively know. II there
exist a strong party in Brazil, not to be satisfied
with temperate liberty, and resolute to cut down
the sovereign power -to the quick, it is pretty
clear that Don Pedro will not be desirous to
fulfil the wishes of such a party. Between their
system and that of absolute power, if there be no
practicable medium, the mere instinct of Royalty
would compel him to make himself a despot. In
the attempt, it is true, he may be destroyed ;
but Kings, in the pursuit of a present indulgence,
seldom suffer a distant danger to check them.

[MORNING- CHRONICLE.]

Madrid letters, of a highly political charach
ter, describe the state of affairs in the Spanish
capital as being the most singular that can possi-
bly be imagined. A Ministry does in fact exist

yet only in name. Yet so far the several heads
of departments have scarcely any voice in con-
ducting the public business. As towards the close
of the year 1817,'and the whore of 1815, every
thing is now managed by M. Ugarte, a favourite
without any responsibility, supported by the
Russian interest, and, through his advice and in-
tervention, all public measures are determined on
by the King. M. Ugarte and Count Bulgari are
indeed the only advisers who are listened to in the
Palace; and although the Marquis de Casa Irujo
and his colleagues lately obtained an ephemeral
triumph in ridding themselves of the prsence
of a host of Bishops, Deans and Canons, by
whom they had been greatly annoyed, yet the
number left behind in Madrid, headed by the In-
fant Don Carlos, his wife, and the Princess of
Beira, who is represented being actively engaged
in the intrigues of the Spanish Court, paralyses
all their measures, and renders their efforts in fa-
vour of a snore conciliating policy of no avail. M.
Casa Irujo, having been so often thwarted, and
having witnessed so much double dealing, has
more than once given in his resignation, which
had not been accepted, and he afterwards
feigned himself ill, to avoid as much as pos-
%ible, any participation in the management of
public affairs. Although M. Paez de l'a
Cadena had been long ago nominated as Envoy
to the Court of St. James's, there was not the
smallest appearance of his setting out for Lon-
don, which delay some persons attributed to the
want of funds, and others to a private scheme of
M. Casa Irujo, who is represented as being de-
sirous of keeping this situation open for himself,
as it is evident that he cannot hold his place at

the head of the Ministry more than a few weeks,
when he will again be turned adrift, unless early
provision is made for him.

[BRITISH pftess.]
The last accounts from Madrid present a dread-
ful picture of the situation of that country. A
decree of the tyrant has doomed to the sallies,
for ten years, all those who were Alcades during
the constitutional system ; the Marquis of Santa
Cruz is included in this atrocious decree. At
Pampelima the tribunals have been dealing their
terrors to women : proceedings were instituted
against sonic Liberal ladies,accused of having sung
Liberal songs and declared against theabsolutesys-
tern, during the Constitutional Government. The
Judges of these tribunals accordingly condemned
one of those ladies,Madame Francoise Sarasa,to be
conducted, at her own cost and expellee, out of
the kingdom of Navarre, accompanied by an Al-
guazil ; and in case she should be found in that
district, four years imprisonment to follow ;
another, Josepha Maria Alonso, was sentenced
to two years imprisonment, and 2,000 livres fine;
the widow Echeraria, 70 years of age, to six
years exile, and to be conducted out of Navarre
at her own expense ; another of these ladies,
Mademoiselle I llarigue, was doomed to four
years imprisonment and a fine of three thousand
five hundred francs. These atrocious sentences
remind one of the revolutionary tribunal of
France, and the fate of Madame Roland and
others. Ferdinand and his minions are now run-
ning riot in the worst excesses of tyranny. At
Saragossa, on the 3d, ten hapless individuals
were sentenced to periods of
imprisonment ex-
tending from three to ten years, and to fines of
ten, twenty, and forty thousand reels. This is
the present dreadful state of things in that un-
happy country—an atrocious tyranny, that makes
the blood run cold. This would not endure a
week, if the French were out of the. country ;
the hatred of the fanatics against them is every
day increasing ; a dangerous plot, widely di-
said to have been dis-
rected against them, is
covered, and the troops are in consequence con-
tinually on their guard. The Constitution sent
from France, and communicated by Talaru to
Ferdinand, is stated to have been rejected, by
the advice of the General of the Cordeliers, and
his followers among the Clergy. There now
appears no prospect of establishing any thing
like tranquillity in Spain. What France will do
under such circumstances is yet to be seen. The
deposition of Ferdinand and the substitution of
his brother, Don Carlos, to the throne is talked
of ; at Cordova his name is said to bare been
publicly mentioned. No change that can be
made can render the state of things throughout
that country worse than they now are.

[NEW TIMES.]

Astrong opinion prevails that ❑otwithstanding
the great rise which has of late taken place in
the funds, they will continue to advance with the
same steady progress for some time to come.— •
Many bets were lost by Consols reaching 90, and
now new bets are made that they will touch
95 before the end of the year. On Saturday the
demand for Stock was so great in the early part
of the day, that for the Account they reached
as high as 914 buyers ; they remained, how-
ever, but a short time at this quotation ; so
many sales being effected by persons anxious to
realise their profit at that high price, that these
sales caused Consols to decline to 901-1-; but
before the close of business, they again ad-
vanced, and reached 90i 91. The business
transacted in the British Funds in the course
of the day was very extensive. In the Foreign
Market there was not so much doing ; al-
though the fluctuations in the Spanish Bonds
were very considerable. Those of 182.1 were once
as low as 243, afterwards as high as 253, and
closed at 25. The improvement was ascribed to
a rumour that the Spanish Government had evin-
ced a disposition to listen to some terms favour-
able to the early bonds, though still violently
hostile to those persons who lent money to the
rebels after the civil war had notoriously broken
out. The French Funds continue to advance
both in London and at Paris. Bargains in the
Scrip of the last French Loan were done in Lon-
don on Saturday as high as 74 premium ; Russian
and Austrian Securities are both improving.
