CORN EXCHANGE, DEC: 28.

Our Market remains in the same state of stagnation as on
Wednesday, from the same cause, that of supplies not Ding
able to come in, owing to contrary winds, and the buyers wait-
ing, expecting, when the wind
.favours, a large arrival; our
prices nominally as on Monday, and not a vessrl in this week
from our c,;,. is.

Out readerrs will see, from the following ex-
'Tract froni the Mario de Barcelona of the 10th,
instant, that his Royal Highness the Duke of
Yorki with a humane attention to the' sufferings
.ofithe people of Barcelona, ordered Dr.
loran to repair to that city to afford them the aid
of his professional talents, though circumstances
prevented that gentleman from arriving in ' time
to be of service. The authorities of the city ap-
pe.ar to have been not the less sensible of the ge-
nerous intentions of his Royal Highness, and ex-
.press their warm gratitude to the nation:—
" All Europe was moved at the sight of the
-dreadful picture presented by the afflicted Bar-
celona under the rigour of-the desolating disease;
and hence most cultivated nations immediately
hastened to offer us aid in our distress, assigning
.to us. accredited Physicians to assist our undaunt-
ed ProfessorS in discharging the duties under
.which they were weighed down.—ln the month
.of October, a" period certainly the most critical
,and fatal, there left Paris a respectable Commis-
ion" of five distinguished Physicians, who, ani-
mated with pure zeal, repaired to this city, and
offered themselves with alacrity to sacrifice their
existence, facing undauntedly the dangers to
which they were exposed. The calm at length
took place, through the influence of the cold
season, and having concluded the abject-of their•
mission, they proposed to return to their coun-
try. Scarcely had they embarked, when another
commission, - composed of four of our fellow-
citizens from Carthagena, came to replace
'them with the same philanthropic object.—
The English nation, of which the science
and fame are equal to its power and wealth,
was resolved not to be behind in coming
also forward to the assistance of the inhabitants
of this capital. With this laudable object his
Royal Highness the Duke of York, Commander
in Chief of the Forces of his Britannic Majesty,
ordered one of his -physicians to repair to this
province, to place himself at the disposition of
-the Junta. The revision of a work, which was to
he published in London, respecting the yellow
fever of Andalusia, delayed the arrival of Dr.
Thomas O'Halloran, so just a . motive, not per-
mitting him to accomplish his desire till the 4th
current, when he presented himself to this Body
of Public Safety, which could not do less than
manifest to him the high sense it entertained of
this-act. The extensive knowledge of this me,
..iitorious physician, his voyages to and observa-
tions made in the West Indies and in the South
of Spain, the esteemed recommendation of our
Ambassador at the Court of England, Don Luis
Onis, and the ties of relationship which connect
him with our immortal Lacy, form a union of
circumstances which disposed the Junta to
hold him in the very highest estimation. Having
arrived at a period when happily there hardly re-
. snained any sufferers from the epidemic, he rnani.
fested his regret at being unable to accelerate
his voyage so as to have been useful when cir-
cumstances demanded. The Junta, satisfied of
the generous intentions of Dr. O'Halloran, and
of the just causes which prevented him from
reaching this capital in time to aid our fellow-
citizens, delivered to him their most fervent
thanks, being sincerely grateful to this worthy
physician, and to the magnanimous nation which
sent him.

[MORNING POST.]
The intelligence received from Ireland yester-
day informs us that the Limerick Commission was
adjourned at the close of the seventh day. Se-
veral of the offenders found guilty bad been exe-
cuted, but nothing had come out in any of the
trials to justify the charge of conspiracy and dis-
affection made by a few individuals against the
mass of the Irish people. Nothing, in fact, had
been proved beyond local offences, disgraceful
and fatal to the individuals concerned in them,
hut totally unconnected with any general sy4-
te'rzi of Religious or political insubordination:—
This is the 'more gratifying, as it has reduced
to certainty what might otherwise have con-
tinued to be regarded by some as mere as-
sumption. The evil has been probed in its very
seat, and to its very heart, and after the evidence
produced on these trials, the verdicts found, and
the sentences executed, they will be bold con-
temners of the sense and opinion of their fellow-
creatures, those who will venture to assert that
the outrages committed in Ireland are the result
of a conspiracy against Church and State. Pri-
vate letters announce that the disturbances "are
suhsiding very much," and that " Government
has done every thing to repress them."

[MORNING HEIIALD.I
The short sketch in the French Papers, of the
-Sittings of the Cortes on the 11th and 12th, gives
a clear insight into the sentiments and composi-
tion of that body, and the situation of the Minis-
try. The latter appear utterly destitute of Par-
liamentary support. The first part. of the Re-
part, which we gave a few days since, has
been agreed to by a majority of 130 to 48.
Now this Report, thus agreed to, is a strong.
censure of their conduct. But it may be sup-
posed they have still the minoricy of 48---7 not at
all. 'These 48 Members are Ultra-Liberals, Who.
call 'for their impeachment. Among the latter
We observe the name of Quiroga, the.first Chief,
and author of the Spanish Revolution, but whose
condiict, "since the establishment of the Consti-
tutional• Government, has been Marked uniformly
by Moderation; also that of. M. Flores Estrada,
whose talents, public services, and enlighten-
ed patriotism, gained him .great influence in
Spain ever since the.commencement of the strug-
gle against Buonaparte, and procured him the
highest respict during his residence in this coun-
try. The Minister of the Interior, in his reply

to M. Flores, declined going into any justifica-
tion of his conduct ' but pledged himself to do
so, when the second part of the Report came
regularly before the Cortes. There is one sen-
tence of his speech, which,- if correctly reported
in the French Papers, deserves attention.—
" There are," he says, " occasions where the
honour of a man finds itself so compromised as
to impose upon him the necessity of holding his
tongue—of dying, perhaps—to avoid saying things
which might compromise the safety of the State."
We shall hazard.no conjecture upon this myste-
rious sentence. Besides the dismissal of the Mi-
nisters, the Commission recommends to the King
that he should submit to the Cortes such le-
gislative measures as he judged in his wisdom
the occasion demanded. The next arrivals
will probably bring intelligence of the ap-
pointment of the new Administration, and of the
measures contemplated for reducing Cadiz, Se-
ville and Corunna, to obedience. It appears the
King did not, as stated in the last Papers, retire
to the Prado' during the discussion on the 11th
and 12th in the Cortes.

• [BRITISH PRESS.
We are glad to perceive in the accounts from
the East some evidence of an intention on the
part of the Greek nations to
,unite themselves
into one political body, under the form of a fede-
rative republic. Their nation of old presents the
first image of such an union; but Greece in those
days was a world within itself, and wanted
the stimulus of •foreign hostility to give con-
sistency and force to the league. The wars that
at once desolated and ennobled Greece in the
days of its splendour, were for the most part
such as now would be called civil wars, and in
settling their mutual quarrels, whether aris-
ing from ambition or jealousy, the several
States would acknowledge no power superior to
their own. The States that now are said to form
the Federative Republic are six, namely, the
Morea, Livadia, Thessaly: Macedonia, Epirus,
and the Islands, and It cannot be doubted that.
they possess such capabilities, moral and phy-
sical, as, under the influence of a free form of
Government, must render them a very formidable
power, and give. them considerable importance in
the general concerns of Europe. Tripolizza is
appointed to be the seat of their Representatives.

[TH E TIMES.

It has been stated in recent letters from the
lonian Islands, that a depot, consisting of 40,000
or 50,000 stand of arms, had been discovered in
Zante ; and it was thence inferred that a most
formidable conspiracy against the existing Go-
vernment had been concerted by the inhabitants
of that Island. Subsequent accounts, however,
have shewn the inaccuracy of the statement,
while they explain from what causes it has in all
'probability arisen. It appears that after the
affray which took place between a detachment of
English soldiers, and the inhabitants of Zante,
in the attempt to plunder a Turkish vessel
which had been driven ashore in Cheri Bay,
both the nasal and military force at the island
were much strengthened by order of Sir
Thos. Maitland.- He then proceeded to punish
the ringleaders in the affray, and afterwards
to disarm the whole of the isltinders, whose
custom it had previously been to wear arms
of some description. as a part of their dress. This
custom having existed among them from very re-
mote antiquity, the attempt to disarm them be-
came extremely odious, and some of the villagers
resisted ; and it was net till troops had been sent
against them, with field-pieces, that they could
be induced to give them up. The surrender was
effected in, all instances without bloodshed, and
in the towns no opposition was made. About the
middle of last month, alere had been seized in
Zante about 20,000 pieces of every kind, includ-
ing guns, pistols, swords, and stilettoes, and it
was supposed that there remained about 10,000
more to collect. It was understood to be the
intention of Sir T. Maitland to disarm all the
other islands, after having put the finishing hand
to the measure in Zante.

Our private Correspondence from Spain, as well
as the public journals, which reach to the 14th
instant, are of a tranquillizing character ; at least
they point out the way to present peace and an
arrangement. The dissolution of.the Ministry,
respecting winch public distrust was excited, ap.
pears to be unavoidable. The Commission ap-
pointed by the Cortes to exa►mine the subjects
treated of in his Majesty'& Message, presented
two reports—an open and a sealed one : the first
being disposed of in. a way satisfactory, we should
suppose to the Crown itself-the latter was
opened and read in a sitting of the Uth instant.
It summed up. the errors of Ministers strongly
recommended their dismissal-and recommended
that the Cortes should second any efforts of his
Majesty to this end ; the initiation of all acts
resting with the Crown during the sitting of the
Extraordinary Cortes.—(lbid.)

[NEW TIMES.]

The internal affairs of France appear to pro-
ceed with the ,greatest calmness. Some time
must of course elapse, before the new arrange-
ments of a party so long and so inexorably ex-
cluded from intwer can be completed ; but in the
mean while the nation gives its entire confidence
to the new Ministers, and they proceed un-
impeded in their course. When, w'e say the
nation, we of course mean the great majo-
rity of those who make politics an object of at-
tention there is.a very large mass of the commu-
nity-which takes no interest in matters of this
.nature; and in such
.a country as France there.
Will always be, of course, an active and stirring.
Opposition. If the two extreme parties in the
Chamber of Deputies united for the momentary
purpose of overthrowing the late Ministry, it was
not in consequence of any fusion together of opi-
nions which are essentially hostile. They were
merely agreed in the determination to put an
end to the system of oscillation between the two
parties, which, as it. was only the resource of
weak minds, so it kept the country in a state of
;doubt and uneasiness which could pot long be
endured.
