CORN EXCHANGE, SRPT. 28.

The quantities of Corn _that have arrived this week am
tolerably good, but as dry samples of Wheat are not numerous,
more money is asked for such, but our !ayess do not rearilly
comply, and, the trade may therefore be considered; much Or.
same as on Monday last; Barley, except very fine, is ugility
lower; scarcely any trade for Beans at present; (key Peas ere
further declined 2s. per quarter; the quantity of Oats for rule
is still large, and this trade is so heavy that Monday's prices
are scarcely maintained.

Extracts from the Morning Papers, September 2B

[NEW mfrs.]
• We lament that any person should have sought
to stimulate the lower order of Catholics in
136-Win to violence, on account of a Catholic
Telert having, been prevented from officiating at a
burial in a Protestant Church-yard. We believe
that no persons are more painfully affected at
these attempts to spread irritation among the po.
yulace than Mho respectable and intelligent Mem-
bers of the Catholic Body. We have elsewhere
inserted a professional opinion of Mr. O'Connell
on the right of praying for the dead ; and with-
out gbing into the legal question (on which we
must take leave to say the statement of the
learned Counsel does not appear to us very
clear), we think it will be generally allowed,
that, in point of common prudence, the advice
given ought by no means to be followed. The
Learned Barrister recommends people, on a dis-
puted point, not to go to law, but to take the law
into their own hands. He recommends that

they should attend in crowds, anticipating
thiq this will in all probability lead to a
I;;reach of the peace—and then they are to go to
law I A singular method of preventing litigation.
Surely the more prudent and peaceable way

v►oxiid be to try the legal right in the first inr
stance. At first sight it would certainly seem
that the Protestant Minister has an exclusive
right to perform the sacred functions ,in his own
Chirch-yard, which is his freehold. .On the
other hand it is alleged, that the Irish Catholics
are prohibited the use of their own cemeteries ;
and it is certainly true 'that there was an old
Irish Statute (9 W. ICI. c. 9.6.) which imposed a
penalty of 10/. on burying In any suppressed
Monastery, Abbey, or Convent, not used for ce-
lebrating Divine Service according to the Litur-
gy of the Protestant Church of Ireland. Sup-
posing this law to be still in force, it would
seem unreasonable that the Catholic who is
()riven frOm his own church-yard should not be
allowed to pray as he thinks fit in ours. But it
is probable that the law is not so inconsistent.
if it be, the Legislature will, probably remove
the inco►►sistency ; but in the meanwhile we sa►y,
in direct opposition, not to Mr. O'Connell's law,
but to his prudence, let the parties resort to a
judicial decision of their rights ; and let them not
stir up clamour and tumult by resorting to the
means which the Learned Gentlema►► has sug-
gested.

[THE TIMES.]
• We have received letters from Paris, dated
7'u,e4day, according to which the attack on the
Isle of Leon has been delayed on account of the
unprepared condition of the squadron destined to
CP.:9Pfl'Ate. with. the land forces. If the fleet,
however, was not ready _by the .20th instant. it
was said that..the Duke of Angouletne's*. instruct-
tart had, advised him to attempt. the conquest
without the assistance of the fleet. The same
letters communicate the following particulars re-
specting.the capture of Riego lluving arrived
with four companions of his flight, two of whom
are -said to be English officers, he supped on the
14th at a village culled Arguillos, consisting only
of 15 houses, inhabited by the descendants of the
German colony with which Charles 111. attempt-
ed to people the Sierra Morena. Ile had an-
nodneed himself as belonging to the army of Bid-
lasteros, hut having been betrayed by the appel-
lation of General, with which one of his comrades
addressed him, he was recognized by one of the
peasants, Probably in a village inhabited by
Spaniards under the dominion of the priests, he
wnvild have been massacred, but the good Ger-
aps. only .arrested him and conducted him to
Carolina. From Carolina he will be conveyed
to Madrid by the French troops, to be placed at
the disposal of the Regency.

DIOAN ING POST.]
French• Papers to the 24th inst. reached us last
ri;gl.:„ by Express. They are totally barren as to
military or political news, with the exception of
nnmunication from the Duke of Reggio to the
Olnister at, War, which confirms, though not in
an gb.,olute manner, the report of Riego's capture
by some Royalist peasants. Though the dispatch
be)u itself official, it does not appear that the
Duke of Reggio had received the intelligence
it ,conveys officially. He does not say that
an 2.9,thorised comwunjcation had been made to
big) from the Grand Head Quarters, which would
no .doubt have been the case had the truth of
.the
eysnt. .been duly ascertained ; he merely states
that he bad just learned it from an Officer corning
(tarp those Quarter,;, and that the War Minis—
ter'of the Regency communicated
.the same in-
teiCgetice. It may certainly turn out to be cor-
rect ; but it cannot yet be regarded as proved ;
the rrore so as la Carolina, in the neighbourhood
of Whicli Riego is said to have been taken, is
nharly eighty miles distant from the place where
tflii..o.o4itrodor asserted his defeat to have oc..
'.`lie only other article of interest in
these Papers is an account of the anxious and
idgenious curiosity with which the proceedings
of the walled up ConclaVe are traced, by the
emission of smoke from the pipe of a stove in
the interior,`or by its absence.

Reports were' prevalent in Paris on Tuesday
evening, that the attack on the Isle of Leon had
succeeded, and that the Puntaies was stormed
sad taken by the French troops ; but the ru-
mour was the anticipation of ultra anxiety, and;
utterly unfounded. In the
we, are persuaded,
hest-informed circles it was believed, that another
effort would, be made at negociation before the final
assault took place.- The French Ambassador, 'fa-
was,sent ror frortiMadrid, it is said, with this
eiew,; and instructions, it is added, were sent
from Paris to A ngouleme, moderating the demands
to Le wade on the Cortes, Our own impression
16, that the attack on the Isle of Leon will be
made, and that Cadiz will, stand or fall on the
iilue. The 'capture of Riego is not re-stated in
Tuesday's Papers. Guillerninot's dispatch, an.
pouncing the affair with Ballasteros and Bonne-

main, only states that the movement of the latter
obliged Riego to throw himself into the moun-
tains, and that Molitor had made dispositions to
pursue him. There may therefore be yet some
hopes that the brave but unfortunate Riego has
escaped the toils of his enemies. Some of
Ballasteros's soldiers are said to have joined
the standard of the Constitutional Chief. From
Guilleminot's dispatch it appears that Bonne-
mains, who was at Baza, was ordered by Molitor to
march on Malaga and Almeria, whileLoredo march-
ed directly against Riego, who baying replaced
Zayas, occupied Malaga. Bonnemains arrived
on the 26th at Gador, and there, after some
parley, received the submission of a Constitu-
tional corps, and occupied Almeria on the 27th,
and continued his march by Motrat, where he
arrived on the 4th. In the interval, Loverdo
quitted Grenada on the 30th, with five batta-
lions of infantry, two regiments of cavalry, and
seven pieces of artillery, and marched on Malaga,
where he was on the 4th. Riego quitted it the
preceding night; with about 2,500 men. Guille-
minot's dispatch states, he took the direction of
Velez-Malaga, hoping to gain Carthagena. He
may have been pursued, but with such a force he
could not have fallen into the hands of the pea-
sants of La Carolina. Lord Nugent is at Cadiz,
and most solicitous and energetic in his sugges-
tions and assistance to the Constitutional cause.
A few days more must pronounce upon the fate
of the Cortes and the Constitution ; but misfor-
tunes latterly have not come singly upon Spain ;
they have rushed on her in battalions, and beat
her hopes and strength to the very earth. We
do not, however, yet despair of her cause.

[MORNING HERALD.'
Extract of a Letter from Madrid, dated Sep.
(ember 13 :—" The passing backwards and for-
wards of Admiral A lava, from Cadiz to Port St.
Mary, had induced the friends of tranquillity to
hope that an arrangement was about to take
place ; but it appears' from letters written by
persons whose confidential employment near the
Duke d'Augouleme enable them to speak with
certitude, that the great and insurmountable ob-
stacle to the conclusion of any arrangement is,
the choice of a guarantee for the execution of
the treaties. The parties not being at all
likely to concur in the same choice, recourse,
it is feared, must be had to the last extremi.
ties of arms. Other letters from the same
quarter state that the French have, by means
of gold and active agents, succeeded in gain-
ing a party in Cadiz and the Isle of Leon,
who will show themselves when the proper occa-
sion offers. This has caused no little alarm tw
the Constitutionalists shut up in both these
towns, and though they keep a-watchful eye
upon those suspected, yet they dread that in the
moment of attack a diversion in favour of the
French, by this party, may produce the most
fatal consequences. This attack, add the same
letters, must take place immediately, as the pre-
parations for it are pushed on with the greatest
activity. The reports relative to General Que•
sada are very contradictory. Some pretend that
he has gained some trifling advantages over the
Conmtitutlonal troops, whom he had been sent to
attack by the Regency ; others, and these
are the greater number, say that he has been
vigorously repulsed, and that the Constitution-
alists of Estrewadura have a much more imposing
force than was at first supposed, and that the
country offers them abundant resources. How.
ever it is assured that they will be forced to eva-
cuate the province, as soon as the troops meant
to march against them shall have combined their
efforts. There are various rumours as to Ballas-
teros and his troops, but they are so totally con-
tradictory, that we must wait a few days be-
fore attempting to give credit to either version.
The fanatics of this city, who, as you may well
suppose, are pretty numerous, are transported
with joy at the rapture of the negociations before
Cadiz. Thisjoy they refrain not from express-
ing in words as well as looks ; whilst the friends
of order and public tranquillity are obliged in
silence and secresy to offer up their vows for that
moment so desired, but which will come too late,
when Spaniards, taught by a cruel experience,
shall make at the shrine of their country the sa-
crifice of their quarrels, divisions, and animos;
ties."

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The appointment of Consuls in South America
are understood to he finally settled, and to want
nothing but the formality of being gazetted. We
have therefore only to express a hope that the
individuals destined to fill these important posts
may have been selected with some view to their
competence to the discharge of the duties en-
trusted to them, and that private influence may
not, in this instance, have been permitted wholly
to absorb public interests.

Never was there a more complete metamon

phosis than that to which our Tories have lately
been subjected. When the French armies. first
entered Spain, their joy was immoderate—their
air and manner was that-of triumph and exults•
lion. The tiuked'Angouleme could not be more
elated when he had the Spanish Grandees at his
feet in Madrid than our Tory Aristocracy were
when they. received the news of his entering that
capital. The naming Constitutions and Consti-
tutionalists only excited their merriment. When

they condescended, to explain themselves, the
language was :—You will see every thing set-
tled in a short time—the King at Madrid,. a
House of fiords and Commons established, with
a Constitution in which the King will be more
than tt cypher;
_and when alt these fine things
are accomplished, for the , expence of which the
obtaining an army wherein they can. place coati.
dence will amply indemnify the French, the Pe-
ninsula will be evacuated forthwith, and the peo-
ple of every other country, discouraged by so
many fruitless attempts to, obtain free Constitu-
tions, will sit down ,quietly and allow their
Rulers to shear them in the old legitimate way.'
That the Government was of this way of think-
ing is but too well proved by the pains taken to
detach Portugal from Spain, at a rnoit,
Cal moment,' mna the assiduity with which ,
Sir William A'Court laboured to .promote the!
success of the French. 'lndeed the French!

were not More bents on dividing the Consti-
tutionalists than were the representative and
agents of our hopeful Ministers.—Well then—
the Bourbons have obtained an experienced
army, they have overrun Spain, and revolu-
tionized Portugal. What would our Tories
have more ? yet a gloom has overspread their
countenances! One does not know what to make
of the interview between the Emperors—Ano-
ther looks wishfully towards South America—A
third confesses that the erection of a House of
Lords and Commons, on the English model, is not
so easy a thing in Spain as he had at first sup-
posed it to be—A fourth does not see how
F.-rdinand and his Monks can govern the coun-
try without the aid of au army of Frenchmen, or
an army paid by France. Some even go so far as
to hint that our Government, in no long time,
will be under the necessity of endeavouring, in
self-defence, to revolutionize the Continent.
When the bull first gets his horns, he is fond of
using them. The Bourbons reel their strength,
and long to make use of it. They know the'
temper of their nation—they know that to insult
Englana would blot out Waterloo from the re-
collection of the vain-glorious people over
whom they rule, and give them a place in their
affections. Their Journals now boldly talk'
of occupying Spain, of surrounding Ferdi-
nand with their bayonets, of obtaining indemni-
ties for their expenditure ;,and they'observe,
moreover, that England dare not stir. These are
certainly alarming circumstances.. By and bye
we shall be hearing how much the great Sove-
reigns feel for the situation in which the King of
this country is placed, and how much they
desire, to free him from the Oligarchy, by whom
he is kept in• subjection. Louis the Eighteenth
may be telling Europe some day, that as under
Heaven he owed his Throne to the King of Eng-
land, he shopld not acquit himself towards
Heaven, were he not to endeavour to requite
the obligation, by placing in turn his Royal Be-
nefactor on as real a Throne as that to which he
was himself restored.—Who knows but the
wickedness of Ministers in, not opposing them-
selves first to the interference with Naples
and Piedmont, and then with Spain, may 3n
the end be productive. of more benefit to
Europe than if they• had adopted a more
liberal policy.—Should the Allies, in the confi-
dence of their strength, carry their insults so far
as to threaten our safety at home (a circumstance
far from being impossible), Ministers may now,
as in 1811, again place themselves at the head
of the Liberal Party in Europe. Taught wis-
dom by experience, that party, if the opportu-
nity should again prove favourable, will not al-
low it to slip through their hands unprofited
