FALSE REPORT.

The Obsenci- of yesterday contains the
ing Article, which is copied into The British Fi?4
and The Morning Chronicle of this day :

" The Secretary of State for the Home De.
parttnent, from some information alleged to
. have been received by Government; ordered
on Monday detachments of the first regi°
ment of guards to be stationed in the neigh'
bourhood of the principal granaries and bree
cries in the Metropolis and its vicinity. Soule
of these piquets wereu admitted into the
buildings, which, in the event of danger, the/
were, sent to protect, and remained there 1.111
Thursday night, when they were. recalled,'
The measure, we apprehend, is one of pre'
caution, arising not so much from any actual iv
formation of concerted tumult, as the sug-
gested probability of its occurrence, from the
continued high price of grain. In this opinio9l
we are more confirmed, from understanding
that the measure will occasionally be resorted 0'
during the whole of the ensuing Winter."
The tendency of the above paragraph; which
we can positively state is UTTERLY VOID OF FOU:`'
DATION, is to excite alarm in the Country on the
, apprehension of the high price of Grain, and Cc'
make the Public believe that Government has re'
sorted, and intends again to resort to military
force, in order to overawe the people. The British
Press, as an Opposition Paper, might be expected to
adopt the article, but took it as it found it. But
The Morning Chronicle, insidiously,. we might al'
most say wickedly, gives another colour to this
falsehood, and affirms, that "- during the poll at
the Election of LORD -MAYOR, and daring
three days last week, a piquet of Horse GuardS
and a detachment of Foot Guards:- have been kept
on duty night and day, under • some new alarfil
that has seized Lord SiIiMODTEI of tumults or of
Plots." Besides the falsehood of. this report.i

its pitiful spleen against Lord SIDMOUTH
serves contempt ; for, granting that the report had
been well-founded, woulitritoliot be a proof that
Lord SIDMOUTH is always on the watch to guard
the Country from danger, and, indeed, when infa-
mous Demagogues were attempting, to raise corn'
motions in the City, would it not have been wise
to prepare means of prideCtion. But the whole
is a vile falsehood.

FUNDS.-To-rnorrow being the account-

day, the Stock Brokers this morning were full of
business. The house was crowded at the opening.
Consols began at 82f, and looked drooping at that
price; brit in a very short time they rose to 824
with many buyers at the latter price; for the
November Account, they are 833 4.

Letters received from Liverpool state, that the
arrivals from the United States are expected to be
immense, when the wind becomes fair for their
coming in. The price of American Flour is 535.

"AtrtatiAM THOrtxtoti.---The only account of the
'intended new trial of this man, charged with the
Murder of MARY ASHFORD, the next of kin hav-
ing, as we stated, obtained A WRIT OF APPEAL,
appeared in our Paper of Saturday ; but The
Times of this day ascribes it to a SundOy Paper.—
This is not liberal or
,lust. We do not want.
any public. print 10 pill' THE SUN, under af.
fected hostility, as The Morning Chronicle does
The Courier; but when any original matter is
taken from one Paper, it is a proof of narrow•
minded spleen to attribute it to another. We
notice this instance in trifles, that we may not be
thus unhandsomely treated in matters'nf more im-
portance. It would be easy for us to take valu-
able remarks and speculations from PROVINCIAL
JOURNALS, and graft them on our own observa-
tions, without acknowledgment, as has frequently
been practised by London Newspapers s but we
have too much regard for candour and justice, and
therefore invariably assign them to their proper
Sources.
