are cheap, and selling them when and where they
are dear.

But the great man and new Prime Minister who
is to feed the hungry people by sermons on fluctu-
ation, also remarked that it was not possible to
ensure the same kind of steadiness of price
for agricultural as for manufacturing pro-
duce. He is a wise man, no doubt, this cotton-
spinner's son, now Prime Minister, who assumes
the government of the country to starve other
cotton-spinners; but he might reflect that as
agricultural produce is exchanged for manufac-
turing produce, the stability of price in one ele-
ment of the exchange lessens by a half the
chances of fluctuation. Oxen may have the mur-
rain and wheat the fly, and if they be exchanged
for one another, their is a double fluctuation, half
of which the certainty of the price of manufac-
turing produce when exchanged for wheat puts
an end to.

It should also be considered, that as the pro-
duce of the manufacturer is subject to none of

the variations of the seasons—and-he could in a
state of perfect freedom send that wherever he
pleased to buy wheat—what he purchased would,
in reality, be little more subject to fluctuation than
the commodity he purchased with. In other
words,with free trade the manufacturer, who can
always make an article of a certain price, will
always be sure of getting pretty nearly the same
quantity of corn for it, or for him price will not
fluctuate. Such ought to be the case in England.
If this very ignorant cotton-spinner's son, turned
national quack, would take these and other similar
matters into consideration, he would probably be
aware that he had not yet sounded the depths of
all philosophy. He might then become humble,
and cease, in time Legislature of the empire—by as-
cribing the woes of our suffering people to any
thing rather than his own wretched and arro-
gant law-making—to blaspheme Nature and God.

'The French Journals of Monday have been
received with Madrid Papers of the ‘23d ult., but
the news they bring was anticipated in yester-
day's Extraordinary Express from Paris. Their
abuse of M. GUIZoT we have sufficiently noticed
in our Summary of Public Opinion. The fol-
lowing paragraphs, which we extract from them,
arc not without interest :

The German Journal of Frankfort states that M. Thiers
arrived in that city on the evening of the 26th instant,
and left the following morning by railway for Mayence.
The illness of Mme. had induced him to relin-

quish for the present his intended visit to Vienna. V lie
intends going first to Ems.
It is related, says the Augsburg Gazette, that a lady
of Weimar, who deals in prophecy, has read in the hand
of M. Thiers that he will be again Minister at the end of
a year and a day.
A letter from Trieste, 18th inst., in the Frankfort
Journal, states that the King of Wurtemberg had visited
the theatre Mauroner incognito, on the previous even-
ing Ilis Majesty took his scat in the pit and conversed,
with the greatest affability, with those around him.
Next morning he proceeded on his journey into Ger-

many.
A letter from Athens, of 12th inst., in the Augsburg
Gazette, says :—" The Greek mail brings new de-
tails relative to the insurrection in Candia. It ap-
pears that the rebels were betrayed by a certain,
Roussot Bourdoumbant, who had assumed the com-
mand of the Sphakiotes. This person was bribed by
the Turks, and opened a passage to them into the
interior. Upon this, a portion of the insurgents rook
refuge on board the English ships, and the rest divided
themselves into small bands, in the hope of still being
able to resist the Turks. The Chief of the late Provi-
sional Government has declared that his intention, and

that of his colleagues, was, not to abandon the Candians,
and that the English had conveyed them to the Pincus
against their will, after touching at several places to
spread the news of their defeat, and injure their cause."
The following is what the Globe says of the measure
which the United States of North America are going to
adopt against our wines and our silk manufacturers :
" France exports a great quantity of wines and silks
to the United States ; the productions of our southern
departments are therefore in danger of being seriously
affected. The Bill will be a terrible blow to the manu-

facturers of Lyons ;,it will likewise have a fatal influ-
ence on Bordeaux, for an inerease of duties in any arti-
cle always diminishes the consumption.
" When the commercial interests of a country are not
defended by a strong Government, they are necessarily
everywhere sacrificed."—La Gazette de France.

The two ships of the line, the Marengo and Triton,
which have sailed from Toulon for Africa, have taken on
board two battalions of the 33d regiment, which consist
of no more than 1,546 men. _ .

To-day at noon Marshal Soult received the Commit-
tee of the Fortifications, who meet every day with accu-
mulating embarrassment. The news that it is intended
to erect the see of Cambray into an Archbishopric is
confirmed. We are assured that Cardinal Lulour d'Au-
verque has accepted this see. The Bishop of Arras, in
the letter which he has written to the Government, at-
taches, however, some conditions to his acceptance. One
of them is said to be that he shall have the choice of his
successor in the see of Arras.

The Obse vateur des Pyrenees, of the 29th, says :
" We this moment learn that the General Council of the
Upper Pyrenees has refused to give its approbation to
the census."—Le Commerce.

August, and at Malta the 27th, at two in the afternoon.
The Great Liverpool arrived at Malta on the 26th, in
the morning with the Indian mail. Left Bombay on the
19th of July. The intelligence from China is down to

Emperor was still determined to resist, and was concen-
trating a large force which was to be commanded by his
brother in person. Admiral Parker and Sir Henry Pot-
tinger sailed from Bombay for China, on the 7th of July,
in the Sesostris.
