The Very'large arrivals of last week, added Itri.O. tolerable
fresh supply to MIS morning's market, °cook*** consider-
able show of samples, and the late weather being' considered
favourable to the crops, causes mtich dulness to prevail in sales
to.day.- Wheat sells so very slowly, that evert The:wittiest par-
cels do not reach list :Monday's pnees by 2s. per 'quarter ;
other qualities are nearly unsaleable at present. Barley finds
very few buyers at last quotations. Beans and „Peas are both
rather cheaper.' Oats are so plentiful that sales cannot be

Extracts from the Morning Papers, July 14.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
Amidst a variety of disheartening circum-
stances in the affairs of Spain, the public attention
of Europe is singularly arrested by the gallantry,
activity, and firm patriotism displayed by Gen.
Mina in Catalonia. Over and over again, in the
Bourbon Bulletins, have we been told that this
enterprising leader has been defeated, destroyed,
surrounded, on the eve of perishing, deserted and
abandoned, and, in short, that nothing could pre-
Neat his being obliged to throw himself at the
feet of his pursuers. A few days have uniformly
shewn the value of each of these French gas-
conades, for his enemies have been immediately
afterwards compelled to acknowledge that he has
appeared. on another point from the one in which
it was expected he would have been caught, as
it were hj, miracle, and as formidable anti bril-
liant as ever. Could we only for a moment have
a,glance at Moncey's private dispatches, we
make no doubt we should there find many truths
the Paris Government are very careful in con-
cealing. Still they cannot prevent the arrival of
numerous letters from the officers and privates
serving in Catalonia, which fill their relatives with
terror and dismay. It is sufficient, however, to
look at the broad fact of Mina, with a flying
corps, that has never exceeded 3000 men, holding
in check, nay, actually playing with an army of
40,000 men and paralysing all its movements.--
The contemplation of this fact alone fills us with
admiration, and leads us to hope and trust, that
Mina's example will soon be followed by his
comrades in the other provinces. Mina's defence
in Catalonia is equal to any thing recorded in
history. A. new story has now been invented.,
and the Paris Papers tell' us, " Mimi is ill from
the effects of 'a full from his horse." This may
possibly allay the terrors of the French Ultras,
and do away with the bad consequences of the
letters written from the French camp in Catalonia;
but the effect can only be temporary. Asa further
consolation,the good people of France are also told
that Barcelona will be invested, this being the focus
of constitutional principles, anti the place frntri
which Mina receives Isis supplies. The French
are too well informed on the affairs of Spain not
to know, that, if this is to be done, and in good
earnest, al I the other operations in Catalonia must
be suspended, and a long and tedious siege com.
menced. Barcelona is not now what it was in
1714, when attacked by Marshal de Berwick.
Its chief defence consists in the impregnable
citadel which defends it to the East, and Mont-
city, a considerable mountain, commanding
and protecting it to the West, on the sum-
mit of which is a fortress capable of contain-
rag a ontinolovs garrison. Private letters from
Barcelona received in town last week, mention,
that there are upwards of 16,000 men in the
town, and that,• on an emergency, 10,000 morel
volunteers might be tinned, the arsenal being
sufficiently well provided. The same letters add,
that provisions were so abundant, that most of
what were imported were much cheaper than in
the countries from which they were brought, and
the most enthusiastic spirit pervaded every class
of the inhabitants. If, therefore, the French in-
vest Barcelona, the Constitutionalists will have to
thank themselves for their determination. Most of
Alina's men are stationed in 'fortosa, in the fort
of Bdllaguer, Tarragona, Figueras, Lerida, &c.,
which serve him as points d'appui, and in which
he changes his flying corps, leaving them when-
ever the men ,are tired, null taking out fresh
troops. Without bringing him to an engagement,
he would consequently he able to bring a consi-
derable force on the rear of the enemy, whenever
they were concentrated in one position, by which
means ho, would be able to cut off their supplies
and communications, leaving the rest to time.

[NEW /talcs.]
The French' Papers of Thursday and Friday
contain' little that is important besides the con-
clusion of the Loan, which we were enabled to
state on Saturday from intelligence received by
express. Some interesting particulars, however,
are given relative to the negociations and bid-
dings for the Loan. It seems beyond a doubt,
that of the four competing firms three had com-
bined to offer terms lower than the minimum
which M. de Vill6le had determined to take.
The Minister, no doubt, had calculated on sure
rounds as to the state of public credit in France ;
but' there was only one of the four firms which
bad the spirit and liberality to break through the
combination, and meet the Minister on ade-
quate tertns ; and when we say that this
was the firm of Rothschild, a firm which
takes, the lead in all, the money markets
•of Europe, our Readers wilt easily believe
that the bargain was formed on a perfect know-
ledge of the means to render it profitable. The
strength anti solidity' which the Spanish war has
given to the French finances ,most totally con-
found thaw poisons whose revolulionary
seuti-
ments ul biassed their judgment. At the end of
March the Kettles were about 78 ; in the begin.
ning of April his It oyat Highness the. Duke D'An.
gooleme crossed the Ridassoa ; and in about three
months the Rentes have risen 12 per cent.l Of
tourse, ,the revolutionary press will rail with
more than Its usual virulence at this incontestible
attestation which .the state of public credit
affords to the triumph of legitimate Government
over anarchy and rebellion. There has been one
great andlamentable failure in,the money specula-
tions of recent times--‘-that of the Loans made to the
SpanishJacobins : there is one grand and promising
transaction—the present Loan to the established
Grove'rnment of France. Ulnim horum mavis,
ac-
ciper he RegencyatMadrid daily assumes a firmer
attitude, and takes more decided rank among Ate
GovernMents of Europe. As the•Dukn de San
Carlos has had his solemn reception at the 'Pull-
Pries, se the French Ambassador. the. Marquis,
De lalarit, it Nobleman of high distinction and
a Peer of France, has been received with equal
solemnity at Madrid. M. De Martignac, lhe
French Civil Commissioner, having completed the
arduous task) committed to him, returns to his
