CORN VCCHANOE? APAITI

The fresh supplies of Corn to this day's market are incon-
siderabl ; Wheat remains at the same prices as on Monday,
with but little doing in this trade; in Iktrley, Beans and Peas,
there is no alteration ; Oats find buyers on full as good terms.

We trust that at the Public Meeting which the
Greek Committee intend calling, some definite
statement of the objects proposed, and the means
required by them, will be made ; for we ate'
convinced that nothing is wanting to produce a
subscription as ad vantageons to Greece as glorious
to England, but the certainty of the money bzing.

The great gtiestion which has occupied the
House of Commons for two successive nights
may be brought, we think, to a very short issue.
Parliament is called upon to declare that his
Majesty's Ministers have done wrong. But in
what way, and to what extent ? Should they
have plunged the country into war ? Oh, no !
If we had gone to Am, we must have become
principles in the war : we must have gone to war
with France, with Russia, with Austria,and with
Prussia ; for the only ground that is suggested
for war, on our part, is a ground on which the
three latter P owers have distinctly pledged them-
selves to support France. In such a war, we
must not only have reimposed the two-and-twenty
' of taxes taken oil' since the peace, but we
must have submitted to new and heavier burthens :
and we must have done this at a time when the
whole Continent would have been leagued together
to prohibit our European trade, and of course to
reduce our manufacturers to extreme distress.
--Ministers did right to adopt a neutral policy.
But (say their opponents) they ought to have re-
moustrated against the conduct of France: Wdl,
they did remonstrate—Yes, but they should have
remonstrated 44 earnestly, vigorously, solemnly."
It would really be obliging if some clever gentle-
man would undertake to strew the maximum of
earnestness, vigour, and solemnity which belonas
to a neutral remonstrance. Judgments may differ
on this point: and in particular the judgment
of the party remonstrating, and the party re-
monstrated with, are very likely to differ. Sup-
. pose Ministers had couched their remonstrance
in the language of certain speeches which have
recently been heard in Parliament—might it
not possibly have- happened that the Continental
Governments would have taken such language
amiss ? Having once shown a vigour in speech,
we of course could not retract, and so we should
have found ourselves very unexpectedly engaged
in the war we had previously determined to avoid.
lint perhaps the lov,ers of excessive vigour in
speech would have been willing to compound for
a proportionate lack of vigour in action ; in other
words, they would have had our Ministers bully
themselves into a scrape in order Una they might
finally meta:. nut of it. In our humble' opinion
this would have reflected little credit on British
Diplomacy.

The Army of the \Western Line of the Ebro
halts' at. Vittoria, to allow. Marshal Moncey and
General Mollifor to arrive on the line of that
river considerably mere to the eastward, in the
diraction of Barcelona ; but it must be two].
Jetted by our readers, that we have before stated,
that tvlina, nith a larg,e army of the best troops
of Spain, was in the neighbourhood of Uri4el'; lie
consequently has on his right thank Figueras and
Barcelona, and in his rear Saragossa. There.
fore, we apprehend, these Generals must first
force Mina to retire before they can ad.
va.nce. If this should be done, •then they have
to attack, mask, or take these strong places before
they can arrive in line on the Ebro, with the
Western Army ; and if the Spaniards defend these
places, and. Mina should fall back on.Ballasteros,
or place his army either in the mountains or in
these immense stront'e. garrisons, we do not see a
chance of the French armies advancing in line on
Madrid. Then comes the question, dare the
Doke d'An4ontetne advance by himself beyond
the Ehro, without the armies of Mollitor and
Moncey en his left, and with St. Sebastian, Pam-
-peluna, Saragossa, Figneras, and Barcelona. in
his rear ? We think every military man that
knows Spain m
.ilI say bete begins the danger
with respect to the French armies. We have not
-yet found tie Spanish troops giving up their
strong places, or deserting their colours ; conse-
quently every step the French advance in Spain
the danger increases, and they may require the
Russian, Austrian, and Prussian forces to assist
them before this holy work can be effected. 'lite
Russians have, we repeat, marched already an
enormous force for this purpose, and the Austriap
army, also, on its march from Naples, 50,000
Strong, has halted in. Lombardy, instead of re-
turning home as agreed on at Verona. This halt,
as it appears'by the Lausanne papers, alarmed
the Swiss Government. We have already noticed
these movements of time Itus,sian forces, and repeat
again., without fear of contradiction, that our
' statement is perfectly true. With respect to the
.50,000 Austrians, we ask why they do not go
lome as agreed on ? and we believe we may
answer, because the French may require us he-
Inediately in Spain.—These immense preparations
are not made for nothing, but expressly for sup-
porting France in herattack on freedom (or ra-
ther what these Sovereigns call revolution), and
agreeably to arrangements made at Verona, we''
shall not he surprised at announcing, in a very
few days, the breaking up of Russian, Austrian,
and PEUSSiitli forces, from their camps, with the
intention of entering Spain. We challenge the
Government prints to contradict our statements
on these most important truths. ominous
preparations, pregnant with danger to Europe,
will render it exceedingly difficult for Govern-
ment to adhere to their policy of neutrality.

The debate upon IYIr. Macdonald's motion re-
lative to the late Negociations was resumed last
night, whefi several more Members spoke to the
question. A strong wish was manifested to
bring the discussion to a Clow, hut at one o'clock
thi, morning a further adioninment was agreed
to. The Chancellor of the Extbequer and Mr.
Secretary Ped spoke most ably and satisfacto-
rily upon the subject; us did also Mr. Curwen
and several other Gentlemen whe never fail to
command the attention of the 'louse. This eveu.
lag we snail probably be gratified with the
Speech of Mr. Secretary Canning. Whilst we
record the Debates in the two Houses of Parourlia-
ment upon this subject, and look back to
own humble labours ever since it' first began to
interest the country, we cannot refrain from an

expression of satisfaction on the entire coin-
cidence of sentiment which we now feel our-
selves entitled to boast with all the most wise
and eminent of our Statesmen.—The steadfast
and zealous supporters of law, order', and subor-
dination, we have not suffered ourselves to
be betrayed by our respect for them into any
compromise with melty, oppression, and hy-
pocrisy. We have endeavoured to rescue the
cause of legitimate authority from the prostitu-
tion and abasement to which others of its pro-
fessed friends have not scrupled to consign
We have not permitted in silence Its sacred
name to he invoked by the apologists of
in:justice or the abettors of tyranny.• Anxious
for the maintenance of peace, as the certain
means of prolonging and accelerating the rapid
career of national prosperity, we have sought to
inspire peaceful sentiments no further than they
were compatible with that honest indignation to-
wards oppression, that proud sympathy with inde-
pendence, which have ever been the distinguishing
characteristics of our country. That this coun-
try should think as is worthy of the most enlight-
ened, and feel as is worthy of the most free nation
in Europe, upon the great question which has so
much engaged her attention, was our most ardent
wish and our highest object. The gratification
we have derived from the proceedings in Parlia-
ment is not greater certainly than we expected ;
but yet it is perfect. Reprobation of the prin-
ciples and conduct of France is in both Houses
of Parliament the universal language. Warmly
and, uniformly as we have expressed indignation
at the insolence of French pretensions and the ini-
quity of Frenchattack upon Spain, we have yet not
ceasedto contend, that upon the calm and dispas-
sionate motives which ought ever to sway the de-
terminations of Statesmen, neutrality, a prudent
and watchful neutrality, was the present policy
of England. Here again the proceedings of Par-
, liament afford us equal grounds of exultation ;
r and in the final result of the present debates, we
anticipate a proud triumph for Ministers, whose
cause is that of Wisdom, Moderation, and Justice.
