THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT." 1.
There was again a very large arrival of Wheat, Beans, anti
Plour, last week; not many Oats, and but moderate quantities
of other descriptions of Corn. This morning the fresh auppi;es
at market are only moderato. The weather is now very tine,
anti our millers in consequence make very few purchases
Wheat, that the prices at old Wheat hardly equal last
day's currency; and new samples come so damp, that they are.
sold at .28. per quarter less than this day se'ennight.—Barley is
dull in sale, but the pricesare unaltered.—Boiling Pease harttly
maintain last quotations; grey Pease find buyers on the samo
terms as this day ae'ennight. Although the supply of Oats itt
rather short, yet our buyers are unwilling to purchase many .at
late advance in price; there is, therefore, not much iloiog at
present v, in the trade ; and last week's prices were only obt
for the primest samples. The Flour trade is exceedingly dull.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
Extracts from the Morning Papers, September 1.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The Monitor,- of Friday repeats the story of
the capitulation of Corunna, but we must be par-
doned for continuing sceptical, till we see some
authority for the report.—Under the head Zante,
there is in the Gonstilulionnel an article contain-
ing an account of important successes gained by
the Greeks, by land, over their enemies.

We alluded on Saturday to the operations of
General Velasco. It was strongly reported yes-
terday that acco►►nts had been received of his
having reached Talavera de la Reyna, 57 miles
from Madrid. Bets among persons well informed
as to the affairs of Spain, were laid that the Re-
gency would be driven out of the capital by the
end of the month. General Velasco, is as we
stated, in a very superior office.—(lbid).

Recent letters from Naples mention the con-
straint and distress the people of that country
continue to suffer from the presence of foreign
troops, and the inquisitorial system which the
Austrians act upon throughout the Kingdom.—
FOOT' very respectable persons were lately ar-
rested in farther Calabria, because they were
suspected of having communication with the
Greeks. These arrests have augmented very
considerably the general discontent which pre-
viously existed there. In spite of this it would
appear to be almost certain that these unfortu-
nate people have been carried before a military
tribunal, and sentenced to be executed.—(Mid.)

['rilE TimEs.]
An extraordinary Courier has arrived from
Madrid, bringing Intelligence to the 23d ult.
Nothing important had occurred in that capital,
but the news received through it from Cadiz is of
great consequence. Ilis Royal Highness the
Duke of Angottleme, it will be remembered, ar.
rived at Port St. Mary on the 16th. On the fol-
lowing day he proceeded with the business of his
mission. Ile dispatched Colonel Lahitte, one of
.his Aides-de-Camp, with a flag of truce and a
dispatch to Cadiz. The dispatch was addressed
immediately to the King. The Colonel was told
tinit he could not be admitted to see the King, to
transact any business or carry on. any communi-
'cation with hint, except through the usual me-
dium of his responsible advisers. Colonel La-
!Atte being thus disappointed in his original
purpose, and unable to execute his first instruc-
tions, requested to see the Governor of Cadiz.
—The Governor is Valdez, who, besides hay-
jog the command of Cadiz, is likewise chief
.ef the permanent commission of the Cortes,
appointeA on the prorogation of that body.—
'it was of course in his former capacity that an
interview was solicited with him by the agent of
the poke of Angottleme. Valdez received the
Duke's Aide-de:Camp with much civility, and
offered, if the letter of his' Royal Highness was
intrusted with him, to secure its delivery to his
Majesty, or at any rate to acquaint his Majesty
with contents. On this condition the Duke's
Aide.de-Camp lc ft the letter. I t.s contents are
jnost important. It declares that this was the
last time that his Royal highness would summon
the persons who laid his Majesty in captivity to
deliver him up, hut that if this stmunons was
'complied with, his Royal Highness promised, in
,the name of his Majesty the King of France,
that his Majesty would in the first place en-
gage Ferdinand VII., upon his liberation, to
declare a general amnesty, without limitation
or exception, to all his subjects ; and se-
condly, that Ids Majesty Louis XVIII. would
engage Ferdinand VII. to convoke the ancient
Cortes of the Kingdom, in order to establish, in
concurrence with them, such a scheme of govern-
ment as the circumstances of his subjects and the
light of the age demanded. That these oilers
might command confidence, his Royal Highness
added, that he and his army would be a gua-
rantee for their fulfilment. The Prince left the
King of Spain's Counsellors five days to decide
on their acceptance or rejection of these oilers.
If at the expiration of this time the King was
itot liberated, his Royal Highness declared that
he would no longer listen to any terms but un-
conditional snbinission, and would immediately
commence the attack on the city, in order to
bring about a result by force which he could not
accomplish by conciliatory overtures. No dis-
patch had since been received from Port St.
Mary, from which it was supposed that negocia-
tions had commenced. This is, however, only a
conjecture.

D41"0 II XING Pond
French Papers to the 30th ult. reached us last
night by Express. They contain a Telegraphic
Ppi.patch fl ma Bayonne, which announces that on
the 14th of August General Bourck signed a Con-
Nen ti on, by ‘shich Corunna was to be delivered
up, " on the same conditions as those granted to
General Mmillo." Now what those conditions
are, no one in France or any where else, except
the French Government, knows. They were
not explained when that Commander joined the
enemy, aqtpo light has bine(' been thrown upon
the subject. All that was stated on, the former
occasion was, that the terms proposed by Morino
were inadmissible, because he refused to ac»
knowledge the Madrid Regency. It was
afterwards supposed that be would not insist
on his objection, and a vague assertion was made
that be had sent in his adhesion ; but that never
was confirmed by any public act or proclamation
Of his own, and the general opinion continued to
be that much had been conceded to him in
order to obtain his ,'co-operation, and that if
be had recognized the Regency, it was only in,
a' conditional and very imperfect manner. To
say that the same terms bave been granted
to Corunna, therefore, is in part to own that
the boasted bombardment of that city has failed,
and that General Bourck found it impossible
to'got possession of it otherwise than by conces-
sionary negociations. These Papers have also
brought another Bulletin from Marshal Moncey,
wfio if he has done nothing else, has succeeded

in rendering the operations of the war unintelli-
gible, by the manner in which he describes them.
When the Constitutionalists moved towards
France, he called that retreating, and talked of
cutting them off; now that it seems they have
not been cut off, but are returning without any ob-
stacle towards Barcelona, they are represented
as retreating again, and the old Marshal pro-
mises to allow them no repose till they quit the
field. Whichever way they march, it is a re-
treat, and the French invariably advance ; not-
withstanding which they are some leagues more
back at present in Catalonia than they were
three months since. As to the threat of giving
the Constitutionalists " no repose," we do not
well see how Moncey could give that which the
Constitutionalists have long since taken away
from him.

EN EW TIMES.]
We have received the French Papers of Fri-
day, which bring accounts from Madrid to the
23d of August, and from Port St. Mary to the
20th. There seems little doubt but that the
French have actually entered Corunna. This
will suprise The Morning Chronicle, but it will
not surprise any other person of common sense. A
further surprise seems to be in store for our wor-
thy cotemporary in the surrender of Cadiz. The
Duke of Angouleme had already sent into that
city one of his Aides-de-Camp, who was received
with marked distinction. The Pilote talks of 27
Articles having been proposed by his Royal
Highness, of which 20 were accepted by the
Cortes ; but for political events, the Pilote is not
much better authority than the Morning Chronicle.
The Bayonne Papers are as usual tinged with
disaffection ; but they can find no positive ill
news, and confine themselve to complaining that
the French Army is sickly, and doubting whether
Zaps has surrendered. If this be doubtful, it
is certain that Chaleco and Selles, two Revt•lu-
tionary Chiefs in Andalusia, had capitulated.—
We observe the veteran Castanos coming forward
on the Royalist side with an address (of which
numbers come in every day) to the Regency.—
Poor Sir Robert Wilson has been deprived of
his Portuguese Order of the Tower and the
Sword, on the ground of his being a political in-
cendiary. If the other Sovereigns should follow
the example of the King of Portugal, it will
greatly annoy Sir Robert, for he took no small
pride in wearing his Aristocratical Stars and
Crosses at the Radical Meetings.

[MORNING HERALD.]
Few Englishmen have followed the profession
of arms through a greater diversity of scene and
enterprise than Sir Robert Wilson. Even the
eccentric General Lee scarcely manifested a
more decided predeliction. With him it has been
not so much the ambition of a soldier by profes-
sion, as the ruling passion of an amateur ; and
this ardour may perhaps excuse and account for
some want of steadiness in his principles and ca-
reer. Ilis last enterprise was the most popular,
the most disinterested, the most inspiring, every
way, in which he had ever engaged. It must be
a disappointment to himself and his friends
that the result has proved so utterly abortive.
From the beginning he has been either crossed
in his designs, or absolutely a fugitive—except-
ing only the single instance in which he had an
opportunity of displaying his spirit before Co-
runna. The last accounts left him on board a
vessel in the Tagus, under a prohibition from
the Portuguese Government against his land-
ing. But this was not all. The King of
Portugal has issued a Royal. Ordonnance,
depriving him of the order of " the Tower
and Sword," in consequence of the sym-
pathy which it is alleged he has manifested with
revolutions. As to his failure in Spain, it by no
means compromises his reputation. It is likely
that he did the utmost within his compass. His
spirit and activity thwarted the treason of Mo-
Hilo for a time; and the affair at Corunna, in
which he had a principal share, has reflected
more eclat on the Spanish arms than any other
during the campaign. The loss of a Portuguese
riband is a ptivation, under which almost any
Englishman would easily console himself.—
In this instance the disgrace, if any, recoils
upon his Faithful Majesty. There were tnany
reasons for his prudently forbearing to resort to
this silly deprivation—the services which Sir
Ho-
bert Wilson formerly rendered in Portugal, the
regard to consistency which should have occurred
to the King of Portugal, who was himself a "
li-
beral" of the first water, not many weeks
since ; and, more than all, because it is an
act of petty and impotent displeasure, which
the object of it may very easily despise. It
is most probable this has been the sug-
gestion of foreign influence, and some per-
haps will attribute it to the British Government
—but we are confident, without reason. It is in
perfect keeping with the little personal ven-
geance which the actual Ministry of France are
accustomed to resort to—and this is not the only
recent circumstance from which it would appear
that the French are making way rapidly at the
Court of Lisbon since the counter-revolution.—
Sir Robert Wilson's " occupation's gone " we
conclude, in Spain ; and he will soon return to
give the benefit o his talents and patriotism,
once more, to the Electors of Southwark.

EBRITISII MESS.)
The greatest consternation prevailed on the
Stock Exchange on Saturday, among the holders
of Colombian Bonds, in consequence of the ac-
counts received by the Jamaica Mail, of the de-
cision of the Congress of Colombia on the loan con-
tracted by the late M. Zea, the Minister from the
Republic to this country. It will be seen by the
account in our columns, that the Congress, on the
report of the Executive Power, decided against
the authority of Mr. Zea to negotiate that loan,
declaring that the power entrusted to him was
political, and not financial, and the loan and
debentures, in consequence, null and void; but
the Colombian Government, acknowledging the
services rendered4by those who advanced their
money during the long-and perilous contests of
the Republic, declares itself bound in honour
t., pay the amount of the debt, - but only as
far as valtte received, and, that for 'this purpose
it will appoint proper Commissioners to

date the debts, for which they will issue new '
bonds or debentures. This intelligence burst
like a clap of thunder on the holders of
these doubtful securities on Saturday, and
they at once fell near 16 per cent.: they
opened in the morning so high as 68f, and went
down during the day to 49, which was their ex-
treme depression, but they rallied at the close of
the day to 52. This decision of Congress was
utterly unexpected ; the message at the opening
of the Session bespoke a different result. We
know that this loan was negociated at a great
loss, and that the supplies sent to the Caraccas
were charged monstrously high ; but who would
lend money under circumstances so uncertain, but
at the chance of a large profit ? on our own loans
great sacrifices, during the last war, were made by
Ministers; and could the Colombian Government,
whose authority and independence are even yet un-
certain, and disputed in arms by Morales, hope to
obtain pecuniary assistance, except at very great
sacrifices ? It is clear, that if the Government
of that Republic could have evaded the debt
altogether, they would have done so : had they
not been pressed by the irrefragable documents
and strong representations of Mr. Jones, on be-
half of the contractors, it is more than probable
they would have denied the obligation altogether.
They have gone as near doing so as possible. What
compensation is it to those, who, in the hour
of danger, advanced their thousands at so great a
risk, to receive, now, acknowledgments for the
mere principal paid by them with interest? Those
who held these bonds will not receive in general
one half what they cost them. Every vexatious
cavil and objection will be made by the Colombian
Commissioners, on the investigation of the respec-
tive claims of the holders ; and what payment will
they receive after all ? Merely new parchments for
reduced amounts, payable at some distant day,
by this ungrateful government, if it can hold
out against the warfare of Old Spain, and the
increasing strength of Morales. The declara-
tion of the Colombian Congress we regard as
most unprincipled and dishonest. They should
have recognised and undertaken to discharge
the loan fully. The money was advanced them
in their day of greatest need. The obligation
was contracted by their known and authorised
agent. It is rediculous to admit this political
character of Mr. Zea, and deny he possessed any
financial powers. cc Omne nuijus confine! in se
minus," is a well-known principle of reasoning.
One character necessarily involved the other.
What was Mr. Zea deputed to England for?
Money and warlike supplies were what the
Republic then wanted ; and these, by pledg-
ing the faith of his Government, Senor Zea
obtained. With this aid they maintained
the contest, and ultimately triumphed. In
their hour of necessity they
.implored and re-
ceived aid ; in their hourofsecuritythey now cancel
the debt, and enter into its investigation with the
spirit of usurers. But let them not halloo before
they are out of the wood. 'Their battle is not yet
over; they have still au active and determined
enemy in the heart of their country, whose re-
sources, in place of diminishing, appear to be in-
creasing. They may need the assistance of the
people of England'again, and apply, but apply in
vain. Southern America affords a vast field to
speculation and commerce, but it is a dangerous
and uncertain one. In all her ports the artifices
of chicane, imposition, and fraud, have been re-
sorted to, to plunder and cheat the merchant and
his factor. Some successful adventurers have
gone to south America, but hundreds and thou-
sands have also been engulphed, and lost for ever.

The following is an extract from a letter from
Port Louis (Mauritius), dated April 27, 1823 :
64 As the Orpheus sails for England to-day,
avail myself of saying by her, that the slave-
trade is totally crushed and abolished in this
quarter, by the exertions of Captain Moresby, of
the Menai, and who will quit this island on the
18th of May, for the Cape of Good Ilope and
England, with his Excellency Governor Sir Ro-
bert Farquhar and family. Sir Robert's health
is much impaired by thirty years' residence in a
tropical climate."—( Hampshire Telegraph.)
THE SWALLOWED 201. NOTE FOUND.—It will
be remembered that on Thursday, JOHN WHAR.
TON, extra waiter at Vauxhall, was charged with
robbing a Mr. JONES, in the gardens; and as it
was given in evidence, upon his being taken
into custody, after a desperate resistance, he
swallowed the note. On Friday morning, as
Mr. HUGHES, one of the proprietors of the
gardens, was walking near the spot where the
robbery was said to have been committed, he
picked up the identical note, much trod in the
ground, as if to conceal it. It is supposed the
sham attempt to swallow the note was to prevent
the officers looking for it.
DA,RING OUTRAGE AND ATTEMPT AT ROB-
BERY.—On Saturday evening, as Mr. J. Rich-
ardson, of Lambeth, was returning home from
Bermondsey, with his wife and daughter, he was
attacked suddenly by three men, one of whom
demanded his money, and the others immediately
pinioned him. Mr. R. made a stoat resistance
and was severely beaten, and serious conse-
quences might have ensued, had not some per-
sons, attracted by the cries of Mrs. Richardson
and her daughter, arrived at the spot ; the Al,
lekis, however,escaped, having run off on hearing
approaching footsteps• The robbers were pur-
sued, but from the nature of the neighbourhood
escaped.

COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS,

DURpla THE LAST WEEK.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Aug. 26.

We were nearly without any arrivals of Grain the last week,
there being neither Wheat nor Barley, and very few Oats.
The weather is still very fickle ; yet the transactions in any
.ar-
ticle of the trade since last Tuesday have been but trivial.
The attendance of dealers at to-day's market was very thin,
and there was nothing doing on speculation. Wheat of every
description could have been bought on lower terms by 3d. per
bushel. In Barley, 11Ialt, Beans, or Oats, there was no alte-
ration, and but very little of any of these met with buyers.
Good Flour is ready sale, and fully supports its price. Oat-
meal, on the contrary, was dull, and lower Is. per pack.
