LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 26, 1828.

Hamburgh Papers of the 19th inst. have been
received. The Corn market there felt the in:

fluence of the late rise here, but the general tone
of the market was not likely to be sustained.
These Papers do not contain any political news:—,
HAMBURGH, DEC. 19.

BORSEN-HALLE, 4 o'cLocK.--Business has, during
the last week, been exceedingly brisk in the article of
wheat, and though the arrivals have been consider-
able, they are, nevertheless, for the greater part of
ready sale. The English mail, yesterday, having
brought intelligence of a decided improvement in
the London market, led to a rise of from 10 to 1.5
rth. here. 'There are still many parcels unsold, but
the owners are holding out for high pricee. Of
Lowland Wheat also several parcels have been
taken for exportation, but on account of our own
consumers there have been but few purchases made.
Rye is firm, some was bought for exportation, and
a few purchases were made by our own consumers.
Of Barley much remains unsold. The sales of
Upland made in the beginning of the week for ex-
portation have been replaced by freA arrivals ; but
the prices demanded by the holders continue too
high in the opinion of the buyers : inferior samples
are of heavy sale.
In Oats there has been but little doing, only for
heavy samples can purchasers be found, and such
samples are seen in the market. Inferior qualities,
of which there is an abundant supply, have found
purchasers among our own consumers, but only at
reduced prices.

In Rapeseed little doing, and the late arrivals not
of ready sale.
From Ist to 10th December inclusive, 48 cargoes
of Corn passed through the Sound ; of those 40 were
bound to British, one to French, one to Bremen,
and the rest to Danish and Swedish ports.

army, expressing his thanks for Sir James's judi-
cious measures, and for his personal exertions on the
field of battle during the late campaign.

Prince Tehavtchavadze, in a report to General
Paskewitselt respecting the operations of our troops
in
,the Pachalik of Bajazet, gives an account of
a desperate attack made by seven thousand Tfirks
on the Prince's detachment in the village of Pathos,
fifty-eight wersts in advance of Topra Kale, on the
left of the high road to Erzeroutn. The Turks,
though repulsed, returned five times to the charge,
but at length retreated, having lost 600 killed and
vounded. The Russians had 44 subalterns and
privates killed, and three officers and 53 privaus
wounded.

We direct attention to the very important
letter of the DAC of WELLINGTON to the
Irish Primate, inserted in our columns of to-day,
and commented on by Mr. O'CONNELL at the
Catholic Association. Space and time forbid
our enlarging on the subject now ; but we shall
certainly revert to it to-morrow.

Dutch Papers of the 24th inst. contain the fol-
lowing account of the Russian force in Varna :

THE HAGUE, DEC. 21.

Mr. M. E. de Gorostiza, citizen and charge d'af-
faires of the United States of Mexico, has been re-
cognized, by a resolution of his Majesty of 13th
instant, in the quality of Consul-General of 'those
States.

BUCHAREST, NOV. 27.

The corps of General Roth, who has the chief
command of the Russian troops on the right bank
of the Danube, consists of six divisions of infantry,
one ditto of cavalry, four regiments of Cossacks,
three battalions of pioneers, and a numerous train
of artillery. The head-quarters are. at Varna. The
left wing stands beyond Paravadi, the right occupies
Ceernirode, behind Trajan's Wall. We were long
ignorant where the Grand Vizier was with his army.
We now know that he is at Adrianople, and is said
to be preparing to march against Varna.
Letters from Otsowa, of 19th November, say that
General Geismar continues to bombard Widdin.-
Ihe Russians are crossing to the left bank of the
Danube, where they intend to begin the blockade
of New Orsowa. If the weather does not become
more rigorous Widdin may be besieged ; but if it
should be more severe, the Danube may be frozen so
as-to interrupt the communication, mid prevent the
sending Of supplies to the right bank, ae has been the
case at Silistria.

In this season of festivity, when mirth is every
where abroad, and the heart is more than usually
alive to the social feelings of nature, we would
again venture to urge the claims of the poor
Spanish Refugees. The subscriptions in their
behalf are already ample—already beyond what
we should have ventured to anticipate, but
still, notwithstanding such munificence, much re-
mains to be done. Gaunt persons, and care-worn
furrowed faces, whence every trace of happiness
seems to have long since departed, are still to
be met with in every street. The contrast thus
afforded by the Exiles to the cheerful, thriving,
and generously disposed Englishmen, is, at the
present crisis more than
,usually impressive.
Surely then too much cannot be done in their
behalf. They are strangers in a foreign land—they
are cut off from the twining ties of home—exposed
to the dreadful temptations of famine, yet have still
preserved their high character for honesty and
independence. Though for some months they
have been in a state bordering on absolute star-
vation, neither at the Police offices, or elsewhere,
has crime yet been laid to their charge. Let not
this characteristic trait be forgotten.

Advices from Port-au-Prince, to the end of
October, have been received, The crop of
coffee was likely to be abundant ; that which was
brought to market was selling from eight dollars
to eight and a-half per cwt. A Commission
was appointed to enquire into and report on the
propriety of ratifying the Loan negociated by
Mr. lIEND.RicKs. The Members of the Com-
mission were, the Minister of Finance, the Se-
cretary-General, the Senior Judge, the Treasurer-
General, and two Members of the Senate. It
was reported that the British Consulate was to
be withdrawn from Hayti."

Letters received this morning from Amster-
dam bring the Exchange two. groats lower.
Foreign Stocks there underwent no alteration.

Despatches were yesterday received at the Fo-
reign Office, from Lord Stuart de Rotheaay, at Paris, and
Sir C. Bagot,' at the Hague.
His Grace the Duke of Rutland and Lord
Robert Manners have affixed their names to the County
Petition against the claims of the Roman Catholics. The
Petition will lie at the Exchange a few clays longer, for
the signatures of the inhabitants of the town and county.—

Dundee Harbour Las of late presented a busy
appearance. Independent of several vessels which have
recently sailed with full cargoes, several brigantines are
presently on the birth taking in goods for foreign parts.
Permission has been asked to publish a shipping and com-
mercial list.

Extract of a letter dated Vienna, Dec. 11 :
" Yeiterday, M. A melee de Jaubert, who is charged with
a tnission to Constantinople, by the King of France, &c.
and a British Cabinet courier passed through this city on
way to the Turkish capital. They are said to be bearers of
proposals for the renewal of friendly relations, which are
likely to prove acceptable to the Porte. The most happy
result is anticipated from these propositions. The same
day As M. Jaubert left Paris, a Messenger was dispatched
to St. Peterst urgh."

Extract of a private letter from Odessa, dated.
the 2d instant :—" The violent hurricanes that have pre-
vailed this year in the Black Sea, have occasioned serious
disasters. Two Russian vessels coming from Varna, one
with the trophies captured in that fortress, and the other
with the sick and wounded, have foundered. It is said,
that another vessel with sick and wounded on board, has
been obliged to take refuge at Bourgas, and thus fallen into
the bands of the Turks."

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TIVELVE 0' CLOCK.

This being a holiday at the Bank and Stock mar-
kets, the Brokers and Jobbers attended the Royal
Exchange, but in very limited numbers, and up to
the above hour we have not heard of more than one
or. two private bargains having taken place in the
Funds, and those not to any extent. Consols opened
at 874, buyers, and are now sellers ht the same price.
Business in the Foreign Funds has been equally
limited, and prices nominal; Portuguese are 534 41;
Mexican, 32i 4 ; some demand from Holland bas
appeared for Colombian, at 23
We have not heard of any business in Shares.

It is reported in the City that Lord Heyteskury
is on the eve of returning from his mission to the
Emperor of Russia, and also that Lord Strangford is
likely to be in the same situation, in consequence of
the ill-success that has attended the objects of his
voyage to the Court of Brazil.

TWO O'CLOCK.

The uninteresting state of the Funds has caused
the Jobbers to disperse, and retire earlier than usual.
Consols are nominally 87i, but one private bargain
of 10,000/. has been done at 87-1 for the put of more
on Monday.
By letters from Trieste of the 13th inst., we learn
that in consequence of the prevalence of hard Easterly
winds the Russian squadron, consisting of one 71
and three frigates, destined for the blockade of the
Dardanelles, had put into the island of Milo on the
sth ult.
