ST. PETERSBURG, AUG. 26.
The Journal de St. Petersburg of this date, contains a
.ery long article from Odessa relative to a new Company
called " The Odessa Black Sea Company," authorised by
the late Emperor Alexander by a rescript of Oct. 10, 1825.
The object of the Company is to erect mills to be worked
by steam, for the purpose of converting the wheat, which
abounds at Odessa, into flour. The Prospectus observes,
that the wheat trade at Odessa has greatly declined, and the
Commerce of the Black Sea, which is in agricultural produce,
and chiefly wheat, has lost much of its importance; the diffi-
culty of finding a market increases, and Odessa is now
overstocked with wheat, which is not saleable, even at a
price ruinous to the proprietor. The Company, therefore,
intends, after the example of the United States, to export
flour. The United States, say the proprietors, have ex-
ported in one year, wheat and other flour, to the value of
9,075,000 piastres, equal to 45,375,000 rubles in bank-
notes; of this quantity Gibraltar consumed annually 60,000
barrels. The prospectus then comparing the prices of
wheat in America and Odessa, viz. [about 30 rubles per
chetwert at Richmond, and from 8 to 12 at Odessa ; and
from these mid other data, the conclusion is drawn, that
flour of the finest quality from Odessa, may be sold at
Gibraltar (when wheat is at 12 rubles per chetwert), for
19i rubles per chetwert, per barrel, of 196 lbs. English;
whereas the American flour has for several years been sold
on an average, at 7 piastres, or 35 rubles, a difference of
1.5 i rubles in favour of the flour of Odessa.—Capital one
million rubles in bank notes, in 1000 shares, payable in
four instalments.

The intended visit of Mr. CANNING to the French
capital has given rise to various conjectures, and po-

liticians of all schools and parties are assigning causes
for it, and prognosticating effects from it, which hays
probably as much relation to it as the suppression of
the Janissaries has with the conspiracy in Lisbon•
Each sees in this ominous visit something to sanction

his own peculiar views. The advocate of free trade
hails it, as having for its object the inducing M. Va -
LETA to adopt the liberal principles which this Cone-
try has acted upon in its trade with France; and
already counts on the quantities of Hard-ware, Cut-
lery, and Cotton goods, which will be admitted into
France as soon as the Foreign Secretary reaches
Paris'
he disciple of arbitrary power trembles, lest the ar-
guments of Mr. CANNING may convince the French
Government of the folly of attempting to maintei"
despotism and superstition in Spain by the presence
of an Army, by proving to them, that the march of
liberal principles is too rapid to be resisted by French
bayonets—while the High Church orthodox politician
fancies, that because Mr. CANNING advocates the
Catholic Question in the House of Commons, he

has certainly some connection with the Jesuits, and is
going to Paris to attend their congregations, and to
arrange their establishment in England. Now, al-

ough we have been let into the secret, we are lit

loss in what terms to announce the intelligence, and
are doubtful whether the majority of our Readers will
rejoice at or lenient it. If the fears of some are proved
to be groundless, the hopes of others will be disap-
pointed—but our duty as Journalists oblige us to de•
dare the fact. Suffice it then to say, that the sole
object of the Right Hon. Secretary's journey to Paris,

is to pay a visit to his intimate friend Lord GRAN-
viLLE, and that probably the only consequence of it
will be, that which is likely to ensue from his Lord-
ship's hospitable entertainment—a fit of the GoVT•

Mr. CANNING and suite left town this morning for
Dover, on their route to Paris, in their own carriages
with post-horses. The party will rest to-night st
Dover, and embark in the morning for Calais.

We announced on Saturday last the probabilitY of
Sir JOHN COPLEY, his Majesty's Attorney-Geneva',
being appointed to the high office of Ma..4er of the
Rolls, in the room of the late Lord GIFFORD,
we are happy to find that this information has Pove
to be correct. His MAJESTY has approved of the'
nomination of Sir JOHN, and the appointment Wilt
take plac?a.s soon as the patent can be prepared. pre-
viously to the meeting of Parliament, it is said that bed
will be created a Peer of the United Kingdom' mne

With regard to the appointmint of Sir j°lll4
