LON DON,
FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1819.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Tuesday last. In the Chamber of Deputies, on
Monday, the Minister of the lateriot presented a
Projet respecting the Corn Trade,'tiii effcet of
which is to impose a permanent duty upon the
importation of grain of l f. 25 c. per hectolitre,
and 2 f. 50 e. per metrical quintal of flour, in fo-
reign vessels, and 25 c. per hectolitre of wheat,
and 50 c. per quintal of .flour, iu French ships.
When the price of wheat in France has lane!) to
23 f., 21 1., and 19 f., in the diErent classes of
departments, then an additional duty on foreign
importation to take place of 1 f. per hectolitre,
without distinction of flag. Wken the price of
wheat in Prance has fallen below the above rates,
then for every franc of diminution there is to be
an additional duty On importation (every flag)
of 1 f. per hectolitre: flour imported in ihe above
cases to pay double the additioni i duty if the
price of wheat shall fall 3 f., below 20 1., 18 1.,
and 16 1., in the different classes of Departments,
then importation to he prohibited. A statement
of the average prices of grain to be published
every month in the Bulletin des Lois, in order
to regulate the duties : rye and maize, and
their meal, to be subject to similar regulations,
which may also be extended to Barley. The ports
already authorized to continue entrepots for foreign
Grain, and the privilege is extended to o, her
towns, viz., Strasburg!), Sic; ek. Tbionvilles
Charleville, Giver, Lille, and Valenciennes.
The projet was ordered to be referred to the
Bureaux. `i be 'discussion was resumed on the
projet respecting the Estimates for the service of
1819, and it was again adjourned till Tuesday.—
The following are extracts :--

" PARIS, JUNE I.—The King yesterday trans-

Paris, an arrangement with the Spanish Commis-
sioners, respecting the losses suffered by. the
French resident in Spain previous to the last war,
in consequence of the confiscation of their po-
pery.

" It is still reported that the Count Caro
d'lstria and the Prince de Metternich are both
expected at Paris.
According to Letters from Germany, there
is some jealousy between Russia and Austria re-
specting the tutestion of ineuence in the Germanic
Empire.
" The King received on Sunday the Ministers,
Marshals, and other persons of distinction.

Sandt, the assassin of Kotzebue, was still lir.

THE FUNDS.--This being the day appointed by
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHRQUER for the
different Gentlemen, who intend bidding for
the ensuing Loan, to wait on him at twelve
o'clock, previous to that hour a great deal
of business was transacted, although a holiday
at the Bank, the Funds opened at 66k, and
went to 66i, 67, at which price they conti-
nued till the return of the Gentlemen from the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.

ONE O'CLOCK.

THE LOAN.--A Loan of Twellie
One Million per Month from the Sicking Fund,
end funding of Six Millions of Exchequer

to take in the Loan. The Minister does not give
any pledge that he will not increase the Interest
on Exchequer Bills, but says he will issue only
800,000 this year. Upon its being known, Con=
cols were done at 66, but rose suddenly to 68-li,
and at 2 o'clock they were at 69.—The Loan to
be 801. Consols. Bidding to be in the Reduced
on Monday next.

We have expressed our approbation of the AT.•
TOHNEY-GENERACS Bill to prevent Foreign En-
listment against our Ally, Spain, because the to-
leration of such enlistment would be a sufficient
ground for hostilities on her part ; and, because it
is more suitable to our national dignity, to prevent
it in the present situation of that Power, as she is
unable to manifest any resentment. At the same
time, we confess that'we consider the intended en-
actment 83 wholly nugatory on other grounds, and
we lament the folly of Spin in supposing that she
can ever recover her authority over her revolted Co-
lonies, for if she could, she would be able to retain
it only for a very short period. We often said,
!Isar in our humble opinion, the best measure that
Spain could adopt, would be at once to acknow-
ledge the independence of those Colonies, and to
endeavour to secure a commercial preference in
her own favour, which, from similariit•y of lan-
guage, and hereditary habits and character, might
be practicable and proh:ible. OPPOSITION, however,
gained no credit by their triumph last night, its
the House of Commons, on the smallness of the
maj,uity.

117,:! are happy to perceive that the Bill for the
Relief of the Framework Knitters passed through
a Committee of the noose of Commons last night,
by a majority of 37 to 15.--When relief can be
given to large and peaceable bodies of men, with-
out interfering with private property, it is always
advisable to extend it• Our impression is, in the
present instance, that this can he done, as the
Bill proposed is supported by both Masters and
Men, and by the Landed Interest, who came
nobly forward, in the way of subsription, to en-
able the poor workmen to apply to the Legisla-
ture for relief. We trust, therefore, that a Bill of
Experiment will not he lost, so obtiously neces-
sary, and po►rerfully recommended.

THE MARKETS.

CORN-EXCHANGE, JUNE 4.

Not having any fresh arrivals from our oWn Coast since
Monday, we had very little English Wheat at Market this
morning, for which rather more money was asked ; but the
expectation of a large supply next week induced the Millers
to withhold purchasing, and therefore Monday's prices could
only he obtained. Fine fresh Oats continue in demand, and
are Is. per quarter. dearer than err Monday, but the ordinary
qualities are dull sale. In Barley, Beans, and Pease, there is
no alteration.
