TILE MARKETS.

CORN-EXCHANG6, SEPT. 6.---The supply of
Wheat was very large this morning front Essex,
Kent, and Suffolk, but the demand being trifling,
the trade was exceedingly heavy, and 2s. per
quarter lower than on this day week, and only
that of fine quality could be disposed of, so that a
considerable quantity remained on hand at the
close of the Market. Fine Barley being scarce,
fine fresh samples, both of New and Old, 2s. per
quarter higher. White Pease being scarce ob-
tained ss. per quarter more than on last Monday ;
the Oat trade was very heavy, at a decline of full
If. per quarter ; in other articles there is no al-

PARIS, Aus.3o, 1913.

" I hate Prejudice, and I hate the French"—
(says one of -MATHEWS'S veritable Juhn Bulls,
on his Parisian Excursion) ; and, really, a not very
prejudiced Englishman might take some little dis-
taste to the " Mounseers" for the antipathy which
they manifest against us. This feeling spews
itself in a thousand proofs ; all, you will say, of
a petty sort, and hardly worth regarding, but as
incessant as opportunity makes them, and as im-
portant as capability allows. The French can-
not, to be sure, act upon the Sicilian Vespers,
nor drive us into the sea, nor even toss us into a
prison; but what they can do, is heartily and
systematically done; and, for my part, I am just
as satisfied with the will as the deed. They like
our money very well, and it reconciles them to
some toleration of our persons—heavy as has
been our national offence against their vanity.
I observed to you the studied parade of their
revolutionary victories,all which, though gained
to the exclusion of their KING, they rather oddly
identify with the honour of his Throne; and the
honest Gentleman finds it convenient to accept
the identification ! They have on all the pedlars'
stands in the Quays and Boulevards a picture of
Lord WELLINGTON, with his hat in his hand, a
Emil king countenance, and a profound bow ; pre-
stning to insinuate a victoty, by pointing his
sword toward a loose stone on the ground, in-
scribed, " Waterloo ;" while a French grenadier
stands opposite to him with his cap on his head,
a ferocious frown, and an upright attitude, writ-
ing with his bayonet upon a rock, " Twenty-five
years of success." Underneath is this modest
and friendly legend—" Our reverse shall be ef-
faced in a moment ; our glory shall last for ever."
And this is exhibited publicly, and gazed at, and
admired, and applauded. 1 do not say that this
idle resentment, and its still more idle manifesta-
tion, are worth serious notice, but do not they
prove the temper of the people, and their feelings,
not, only towards our Government, but towards
their own ?

They have got up " Jeanne d'.4rc" also, a
five-act Tragedy, for the laudable purpose of re-
viving the feuds of the fifteenth century. The
English Regent, BEDFORD, is made to utter worse
sentiments than crookbacked Richard, and Joan
is, of course, every thing valiant, and virtuous,
and wise. Then, her victories are so highly ap-
P plauded ! and our cruelties so loudly hooted !
All which, or the crowds that nightly press to the
Theatre to assist (as the French term it) at this
national exhibition, I should not have thought
worth your noticing, bad not the EING actually
given some one of the crosses or t ibbons, I for-
get which, to the Author of so useful a drama,
The have manufactured also a little piece, not
a very new one, I believe—" Les .4nglaises pour
lire," which Ft ench gallantry designs for a slur
upon Englishwomen, and which French veracity
exhibits for their trite picture. In tbi, precious
farce, our countrywomen are held up to the pub-
lic derision as possessing neither manners nor
principles; and the closing laugh of the audience
sends every body home triomphantly happy by
the curtain and the Englishwoman's petticoats
falling in a dance at the same time !—Must you
not.acquiesce in this critical and correct repre-
sentation l—l annoyed a knot of French patriots
amazingly the other night, by asking, with ex-

ynisite nairele, what countrywomen they were in-
tended to represent ?—and lifting up my hands
and eyes in aitonishinent lit the answer.—Well I
might !

But Manchester is the grand triumph. These
people who never had an insurrection without the
loss of more lives than all our Reformers have

hairs on their heads, ate quite shocked at the
carnage of the other day, and lament most do-
quently Over the wickedness of our " Jacobins."
:1' hat is the word, 1 assure you. Really it is very
comical—but French hi ass is not easily put out
of coontenanct, though I had verily nearly at-
chieved that ninth wonder, by laughing at
Frenchman's condolence, and civilly hinting at
his tenth of August, and a few other such aras.

SIR ROM :11T WILSON'S ADDRESS
TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTHWARK.

GENTLEMEN-4 should not only be unworthy
of the honour ot representing you, but I should
be destitute of every manly as well es every coo-
stitutional feeling, it I did not address you to ex-
press my abhorrence ot the late sanguinary and
illegal transactions at Manchester, for sanguinary
and illegal they appear to be, even, according to
the accounts published in tl,e Newspapers, ',Bost
favourable to the abuse of power.
I do nor presume to dictate to you any course
of proceeding, but it you think it expedient to
assemble and record your opinions on this eventful
catastrophe, I shall certainly sacrifice those per-
sonal consideretions which detain me in P‘iiis.
and proceed to London to meet you on die day
appointed.

I (lust 00 Magistrate will be found in the me-
tropolis to order the military execution of their fel-
low-citizens ; that no armed citizens will be fount!
eager to ina.,sacre an unarmed multitude, svith-
out even distinction of sex ; but as I consider flit!
right of the people to assemble, to delibet ate, and
to resolve, as the foundation and bolwaik of eve' y
other right, I am prepared to maintain it as be-
comes a guardian of the public liberty, and no
tear of the consequences shall deter me from tiles
perfotmance of my duty.
It is, howeter, a consolation for rue to think.
according to the information I hilve been ennblea
to obtain on this subject, at this distance awl
date, that the Government of the countty was not
advisedly implicated in the offences of the fatal
16th of August. Access to the Throne is, there-
fore, not barred, and Ow Executive Authority'
may be approached with a confident hope that tin
Appeal to its justice will not be made in vain.
The crisis is most awtol:--contending desvtisnt
and anarchy menace the empire with destruction;
it can only be saved by the interposition of that
body which is composed of Citizens resolved to
obtain the Reform of the Representative System,
but who also are united for the protection of pro•
pert y, knit the maintenance of the established
institutions of the State.

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obvdient humble Servant.
Paris, Aug. 27, 1819. ROBERT WILSON.

The LORD MAYOR has not yet given an answer
to the Requisition for a Commou Hall ; but has
appointed 'Thursday next for a Meeting of the
Common Council to consider of the late proceed-
ings at Manchester.
A letter from Valparaiso, dated May 4, states,
that Lord COCHRANE has excluded from hit
blockade the pint of l'ayta, and left it free for
whale ships to enter for supplies. Lord CocH-
RANE had taken the island of San Lorenza, and
had captured a number of small vessels, which he
had converted into bomb vessels, and fire mini
explosion ships.---The same letter adds, that
Captain MYRICK and the crew of the Cossack
were still detained as prisoners iu the Gulf of
California.

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.—AD inquisition WAIL
taken at the Anchor and [lope Tavern, at Wal-
worth, before CHARLES JEmNiti.T, Esq. Coroner for
Surrey, on the body of a young lady who came
to her death in the following manner :—The
deceased, a person of superior accomplishments
and education, was an initiate at the house of
-- Minton, Esq. at Camberwell, whose son.
became her suitor. Ort Thursday or Friday they
quarrelled, when the young lady said, site would
and drown herself. lie endeavoured to rally her
into good spirits, but the whole of that night she
spent in a sulky mood, and next morning rose early
and left the house. She proceeded to the Grand
Surrey Canal, and in the most dangerous part of
it plunged in, A labouring Mall, who was passing
saw thc• act, but not being able to swim, ran to
the ferry-house and related the circumstance to
the woman, requesting her to lend him one of
the boats for a few minutes, as he could save
the Lady's life. This she absolutely refused,,
unless he gave her a certain sum of mo-
ney, with which the man was not then provided.
In vain he urged the desperate situation of the
unfortunate female ; the boats were chained. and.
she refused to unlock one of them till she received,
her hire. The man then ran with all his speed us
the Albany Arms in Long•lane, s% here he received
prompt assistance, but too late to be of any avail—
life had fled. The Jury were willing to believe that
the act was committed under the influence of tem-
porary derangement, and gave a verdict to that
effect ( Morning Paper.)

two or there reigtt9, as poll-titzes were formerly, or once or
twice in a. year, as the king's taxes are now, butt daily stud
hourly ono every ropt of beer fled is drank—That. in short,
by the arbitrary, inscrutable, onconstitlitional and irrational
system .of licensing victualling houses, peculiar to F.ttglatol,
irrdivicluals are deprived of the fair and inoffensive ettjqment
of their estates,—the people at large • are impoverished, :
drunkenness is encouraged, the Magistrates -are connoted,
their office restricted odious, ond the confidence of the sub-
ject in the justice Of the Government destrOyed. Thes'e
points your Committer have stron;ly urged, particularly' to
those members who profess an eutitient solicitude, for the
rights and liberties of the iseool,e; but although all 'admit
the errors of our peenliar licenSitig system, and the expe-
diency of an 'intendment, nothing has been done in the
H. 111%, of Commons to produce it.
that Gentlemen who speak so often and so vehemently,
against Sinecures and Pensions,' as drawing unnecessa-
rily,frorn the vekets of a suffering People, should remaiti
silent on the far more severe extoetions practised under the
Licensing Monopoly, without :any . pretence of serving the
Stale, but merely to make the rich man richer still, has sir-
prized your Committee. The Sinecures and Pensions of the
Esiglish Guru roment amount to some hundred- thosseatisl
',minds annually this burden is distributed, throughall
classes.—The extra price of Beer,' in- consequence of the li-
censing system, exceeds several millions annually ; and this is
levied on the labottriug Poor almost alone; the more totense
their toil, the more Beer they need, and the greater propor-
tion are they wade to'contsribute to the leTy' of the Monopo-
lists. But, in fact,' it is from several of these• profes•ed-
ehampiousut popular rights and privileges that the Petition-
CI'S have tereived the most determined opposition in the
House of ,Commotts ;it is among the-se and their eounexions
that are to he found those who • fatten most all the tlll -
holy gauss of Beer Nionsuossly, and anositg these.are visible-the
most ardent. lovers of the arbitrary power given to them as
Justices by the Licensing Law--a peoier, however, 'which

any bill, of this- laud were to he inquit ed into,
yet, in consequence of observations which I felt it

Sessions at Liverpool; I resolved to take Lo part
in euquiriea connected with these transactions;
and.l appeal to the Noble Foreman whether,l did
not say to hien,-thatiff should think it my.doty to
retire.- I conceive 'myself equally com'l,etent to
enquire into those maiters as into any others ;
yet I thought it better to take no part in the en-
quiry. lam more nearly related to another of
the Gentlemen' alluded to, who is my nephew,
than to the Gentlenihn named. I heg. your
Lordship's pardon for having offered these obser-
vations.

Lord STANtAtv—Although it must be pet fectly
unnecessary, I beg to add my testimony to this
conversation ; and to say further, that I stated in
reply, that it was utterly impossible for him to
knovr what evidence was to be prodnced ; and
that lie ought to attend and hear the evidence,
and retire afterwards, if he thought proper.
Mr. Baron Voon.—He should retire only on
inqUiring into the evidence on those bills.

been sworn, and the Ilvyal Proclamation .having

no doubt but you will with patient investigation
