CORN-EXCITANGE, Nov: 24.
Lart Wi'Ck we had the most oonaitlerable supply of. Corn in
general that has come in since harvest, but this morning the
quantity fresh up is only moderate. There ,were so few sampler
of prime dry new Wheat for sale, that they went oft freely en
full as gpad terms us last quoted; but our millers neglected
lother qualitieS, anitsUch are therefore dull rand rather cheaper.
r Batley continues .to sell heavily, and is ls. to it. per tptarter
cheaper than this day seinnieht. Beans do not go off an freely,
as of late, and lust week's prices are not maintained. Grey
Peas sell heavily, and have declined is. to 2a. per quarter;
Poiling Peas also meet with few buyers at the terms last
quoted. Oats are again only in moderate supply, and much
parcels as are good and sweet obtain rather more money than
last quoted, but other descriptions are dull. In Flour co alteration.

There were agreat number of Olton at market this 'morning,
amongst which we observed tunny of inferior quality ; the prices which were dein:aided were the Same as on lan market
day; but it is supposed that towards the close of the. market
the prices will lower, . owing to the • number* at market being,
far greeter than the demand. In Iliiitton' there it'llS alto a good
supply, and the prices may be quottli as per our last -quotation.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
Extracts from the MorninlPopers,November 24.

[unvrisu PRESS.]
Friday's French Papers reached our office yes-
terday. The Monileur contains, in its official
part, a report from the French Major-General at
Madrid, detailing the possession, by the French
.troops, of Carthagena on the sth, and of Penis-
. cola. They were also, it appears, to enter Ali-
cant on the I'2th, under a convention concluded
on the 6th. These important places having sub-
mitted, Molitor's division, the 9.1.1 corps, were to
return to France by way of Valencia, Saragossa,
and Tolosa. The tyrant of Spain and hit family
made their public entry into Madrid on the 13th,
surrounded by French Generals and troops.; tri-
umphal arches, blending the arms of France and
Spain (denoting of course the renewed family
.compact), with emblems and inscriptions suited
to the occasion, were erected by the
Corregidor in the principal streets through
,which the procession had to pass on its
way to the Palace. Did the gallows of
Itiego form one of these emblems, or the dark
banner of the Dominicans wave from the bal-
conies, as the despot and his partisans passed on?
The. French artillery announced his entry with
salvos ; and Verdiere, commandant of the place,
.opetted the march at the head of his stor, fol-
.lowed by the 9th regiment of Chasseurs on
horseback. The tyrant, with his relatives, was
seated in an antique car, drawn by Fpanish slaves,
habited as couriers. The pageant was surrounded
by Guilleminot, St. Hilaire, and other of the
:French Generals ; then came their Gardes du
Corps, and Cuirassiers, so that Ferdinand en-
tered Madrid completely hemmed in from the
love of his subjects by French troops. On the
I,lth the tyrant was to review the French garri-
'son of Madrid, so as to ascertain the number of
his defenders. Accounts from that capital, to the
10th end 11th, state that four Swiss regiments
'were to be taken into pay by Ferdinand, on the
same terms as were concluded between the Can-
tons and France : it thus app'ears the tyrant can-
'not trust his own subjects, and is obliged to rely,
for, the preservation of his throne, on foreign
'bayonets. His stay in Madrid, it is stated, will
be short, only a few days, and that he will go
from thence with his family to Aranjuez or the
Escurial. No decrees were issued by him, such
were.announced, nor has Saez been dismissed ;
'on the '-contrary, the reign of proscription and
idood was going on, and a Deputy to the Cortes,
who had voted for his transfer from seville, was
.arrested and hanged at Grenada.

[MORNING POST.J
We received last night, by express,: French
.rapers to the ‘..12d in,t. They inform us of Ow
return of the King of Spain to his capital, which
took. place on the 13th. It appears that his. ob-
ject in lingering so long on the way, was to wait
till it had been, purified and anointed for his
reception—pnrilied by the exile of its most
distinguished citizens, and anointed with the
blood of the most sincere Patriot in Spain.—
Tht. • getttle Ferdinand feared that an appeal
'Might be• made to his " natural clemency ". if
he were on the spot before the execution of
Blegotook place, and considerately kept at a
distance. lest his heart should be tempted to for-
give.. Or perhaps he could not bear to think that
whilst het' should enter Madrid in triumph, the
man,to.whose moderation he owed both his life
and his crown) would be groaning under the
weight of fetters in a dungeon, and out of pure
sensibility delayed the." happiness" of his sub-
jects until dentin should have relieved the suffer-
ings of the captive, and put an end to the mon-
strous inconsistency. One word, it is true, might
have given him life and liberty ; but that word
was in a language. which Ferdinand had not yet
learned to speak : the language, not of mercy,
for that was not required, but of gratitude
and.of justice. Our extracts: lower down will
show how the • triumphal return or the restored
Absolute was conducted.:. AccOrding to other
accounts, the antique, car•in which ho was seated
was dragged by.,,a hundred instead of twenty-
four Spaniards. Whether twenty-five or a hun-
dred, however, it is a clear and satisfactory il-
lustration of the esteem in which their Monarch
holds them, and of the enviable condition to
which their own want of spirit hag justly re-
duced them.

[saw Tuacs.]
Many of the ,French Papers are squabbling on
the subject of the South American States. On
the one side, it is maintained that Great Britain
will immediately recognize their independence,
in order to secure to herself exclusive commer-
cial advantages. On the other side, this idea is
Indignantly repelled, as implying .a contempt for
the political weight and influence of France.
---,These are both extremely narrow views of
the question ; and it is certain that neither
the French nor the English Cabinet will act
upon motives so limited. " There exists," says
a sensible French Journalist, ". tor the Great
State, who are called by their power to
regulate the destinies of the world, a common
focus of ieformation and wisdom, in which the
repose and happiness of nations will always find
defenders agni►►st the turbulent projects of cu-
pidity and ambition." The common focus of
information and wisdom here► alluded to does
not necessarily mean a Congress. We rather
incline to believe that too such assembly will at
piesent be held but without any formal meet-
ing, the intercourse between the Great Powers
is sufficiently close and frequent to enable them
fully and fairly to discuss all the queftiatbi which
may arise on this important subject. Our in-
terest is really the saran as that of all the other
European Powers, Spain herself included—it is
an European interest. The object of Europe is
to trade largely with America ; and nothing can
be more adverse to the attainment of that object
than prolonged or extended hostilities, it is
contrary to the wisest policy of every European
Power that Spain, should carry on war to. reduce
those fine regions to a colonial subjection : it is

equally contrary to such a policy, that succeed-
ing factions should year after year cause new
conflicts among the South Americans themselves.
Satisfied as we are that the dictates of common
sense must in the long run prevail, we feel per-
suaded that no steps will be taken by the Conti-
nental Powers, which our honour or interest will
call upon us to resist ; and that we shall not, by
rashly mixing ourselves up with any faction in
South America, afford just ground for hostility
on the part of the Continental Powers. In short,
we think the South American question may lead
to important negociations, but will not disturb
the peace of Europe.

[The TIMES.]
A statement has reached us, and on good au-
thority, that a Congeess of Ministers only will he
held at Paris in the course of this winters to
concert and pronounce a definitive judgment on
the South American question. The French Go-
vernment and the Spanish have invited un assem-
blage of Ministers and negocintors from the other
states of Europe, to consider about settling a
point of great and portentous magnitude. It is
no less than to determine whether a certain event
which has taken place before the eyes of the
whole world, shall be acknowledged to have
taken place ; or whether the Bourbons and their
friends shall maintain stoutly, and against the
evidence of their senses and of history, that it—
viz, the liberation of America—never happened at
all. We shall only observe, that if America is
free, oo word of a Cabinet or a Congress can
make her at the same moment not free. But it
seems the admission of this plain truth is to be
sold-,—to the people of America. The price is
yet conjectured only; money, say some; and
others add—what amounts to the same thing in
another form—advantages to the commerce of
France and Spain, at the expence of the com-
merce of America herself and unquestion-
ably at the expence of England,. and to the
detriment of her maritime interests. Now,
is it conceivable that any thing so foolish
can be attempted, as the forcing people to pay
over again for that which they have already
bought with their blood and treasure, and of
which they are actually in the full enjoyment,
after having crushed in the field that oppressive
power in whose favour the fresh sacrifice is about
to be sought ? The proposal is an equal insult
.0
the spirit of the new republics and to their wis-
dom ; but if a tribute be refused, America is to
be again coerced by arms ! To a negotiation for
confining the maritime intercourse of the new
States with other countries, the British Govern-
ment ought to oppose the strongest obstacles,
inasmuch as no peculiar privilege could be
conceded to the Bourbons by America, without
inflicting an injury on us. But how much more
resolutely ought an attack on those infant na-
tions by the arms of the House of Bourbon to be
resisted ? We not merely reckon on Mr. Can-
ning's pledge—that might be forfeited as other
pledges have been ; but to offend and throw off
the mercantile interest of Great Britain, is an
exploit too daring for the Minister. Some papers
have been asserting, that a reduction of the French
forces by sea and land is in progress, and that by
such .a demonstration, for it is nothing more, the
" tlnglish Government has been sati‘fied." The
Minister so easily satisfied ought to be uo longer
Minister of this country, since he must be one
incapable of discriminating between acts and
professions. A second Congress is threatened in
the affairs of Greece, in that case the substantial
interest of this empire is no less obvious than in
relation to South America.
