been so easily attained. The point is
most assuredly worthy of receiving a full and
searching, a competent and disinterested inquiry.
That is all that Mr. STEWART at present asks for—he
does not put forward the details by which he pro-
poses to effect the ameliorations he speaks of; but he
professes himself to be ready to do so at the proper
time. We doubt not his will, or his ability ;we feel
that should he succeed in the herculean task he has
taken upon himself he will deserve well of his coun-
try; and we feel assured that a fair field at least will
be afforded to him, that the irresistible voice of public
opinion will demand the fullest inquiry and investi-
gation.

Madrid papers of the 23d have been received.

The Heraldo, under the head of " Portuguese In-
telligence," contradicts the report in circulation, that
Queen DONNA MARIA had abdicated. It states also
that the Count DE VINIIAIES, at the head of 3,000
men, had marched from Braganza against Oporto.
The Herald() declares that if DONNA MARIA should
demand assistance of the Spanish Cabinet it would
not be withheld ; but as this was written before the
determination of M. GuizoT was known in Madrid,
we are inclined to pay but little attention to the an-
nouncement; by this time the Spanish Government and
Count BRESSON have received their orders from Paris,
and the Heraldo has no doubt altered its tone ac-
cordingly. According to the Tiempo, the note pre-
sented to Senor ISTURITZ by Baron RENDUFFE, the
Portuguese Minister, invited the Spanish Govern-
ment to march troops to the frontier to overawe the
insurgents, but besought them not to interfere.

THE WHEAT CROP of SOUTHERN

RUSSIA.

ODESSA, SEPT. 18.— Whilst a part of Europe is
menaced with famine, all accounts from Podolia and the
Ukraine are unanimous in announcing that the wheat
crop of this year is one of the most abundant that ever
was recollected. The letters from the other parts of
the vast Russian empire are likewise favourable, with
the exception of the country of the Steppes, that is the dry
land in the nei_hbourhood of Odessa, and of the Crimea,
and the vast plains to the north of the sea of Azof;
where the harvest has proved a total failure. But the
crops in the Steppes have never had any influence on
the value of corn in this city. The principal stock of
wheat is brought from the ancient Polish provinces,
where, the land being damp and the soil wet, a warm
summer is considered an advantage. But if southern
Russia, with its immense stock of wheat, has not hitherto
come to the assistance of the suffering countries of
western Europe, the cause is owing solely to the great
difficulty of finding shipping to convey it, and the con-
sequent high rates of freights. The roads which lead
from the Ukraine to Odessa are horribly neglected, and
particularly at this moment, after a long continuance of
heavy rains.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.
Whether the reception which the French Princes
met with in Madrid has opened the eyes of M.
GUIZOT, as
to the real sentiments of the inhabitants
of the Peninsula, with regard to French meddling, or
whether,
having accomplished the Montpensier mar-
riage, he deems it politic to give time for matters to
settle down peaceably before attempting a further ex-
tension of French influence, is not very apparent ;
but it is very apparent from the following article
_Thm,
in the
---als, that Count BRESSON has
either misunderstood or exceeded his instructions.
There can
be no doubt but the coup d'etat in Por-
tugal, and the promised Spanish intervention in
favour of the Portuguese Polignacs were arranged in
Madrid between Count BREsSON, COSTA CABRAL,
and GONZALES BRAVO some time since. This intrigue
is now disavowed by the French Government, and judg-
ing from the following article, there will be no armed
foreign intervention in the affairs of Portugal, for it is
absurd to
imagine that Spain will interfere without
the approbation of M. GUIZOT. The Journal des
D
ads says ;
" We take but little interest in the destiny of the oup
