hasten the departure of these reinforcements.
The French Papers are still full of TA LAI A . The
famous Surgeon, DLIPRUYTEN, has addressed a letter
to the Editor of the Etoile, on the subject of the re-
fusal to admit the Archbishop of Paris to the bed-
side of the patient, the object of which seems to be to
prove that this exclusion was the act of M. AMADEE
.TALM A, and net from any objection on the part of
TALM A himself to receive him.
Mr. CANNING had a private audience of the King
of FRANCE on the 24th, and took his leave of his
MAJESTY.

The French Stock Exchange appears to have been
what is technically called in a fidgetty state. The
Five per Cents. had declined to 98f. 75c., but left off
at 99f. 10e. ; and the Three per Cents. at 68f. 70c.
Extracts of the Papers are given in another Column.

In another column we have given a Decree of the
Council of State of Geneva, relative to the admission
and residence of Foreigners in the Canton.

Private letters have been received from Bogota to
the 10th August, but they do not contain any intelli-
zence of importance, later than that which we published
yesterday from the Bogota Papers of the 4th. There
are no accounts of dollars having been'shipped from
the coast.

It is not surprising that the services of Lord
'COCHRANE to the Greek cause have been lost, by the
conduct of the persons intrusted with the " sinews of
war" for it in this country.
The accounts in the French Papers leave no room
tee doubt that his Lordship, tired with waiting for yes-
!ell and munitions of war, which, though faithfully
Pr°lllisd, would never have arrived, and disgusted
Probably with the accounts which at length reached
him from his friends in this country, of the actual state
of things, has retired to Switzerland, to soothe, in do-
Theatie life, file anxious cares which must have racked
is mind while suffering under a state of suspense.
That tlte value of Grecian Bonds should have fallen is
rAtitural consequence of this determination of his
Xoidship ; and the only surprise, indeed, is, that they
should now bear any price—for hopeless, alas, is the
lot of the holders ! Their hopes, indeed, never rested
Cllt any very solid foundation, for under no circumstances,
'would Greece have been able to bear the burthen of
loans
of which such small portions ever reached her
treasury,.
But lamentable to individuals as is the re-
sult of the conduct of persons managing Greek affairs
in this country, still it is nothing when compared with
the misery which that conduct has brought on un-
happy Greece. Encouraged by hopes never to be
realise& her most gallant sons have perished in a
struggle, the hopelessness of which would have long
since induced them to accept of terms from their op-
reasuts, but for the delusive promises of succour, which
induced them to persevere in it. Thousands of lives
have been destroyed by the effects of the pecuniary
frauds committed in this country under the plea of
436iatence to Greece ; and a state of things has been
Produced which may lead to the utter extermination
of her people from the soil of their forefathers. What
might not have been effected by these gallant people
had they received the promised support ? Wit-
leas their heroism at Missolonghi ! And what might
nut even at the twelfth hour have been accomplished
under the direction of Lord CocunANE, had the
"managers and directors of the tragedy played their part
faithfully in the last scene ? The alarm occasioned by

It will be seen by the Return of the Prices of C,
published in last night's Gazette, that the aveornrage
price of wheat is nearly 565. per quarter ; of barley,
37e. 4d. ; and of oats, 28s. 6d. It appears also, by
the Corn Exchange report of yesterday, that prices
ere generally on the advance.
This is in the face of the importation already
*Unwed of certain descriptions of grain and pulse, and
°f the strong probability that the Ports will, on the
meeting of Parliament, be opened generally for the ad-
nliesion of corn at all times, on paying a regulated duty!
Here, then, is at once a justification of the steps
taken by Ministers, and an answer to those
Persons who pretend to see in the alteration of the
earn Lawsthe complete overthrow of the agricultural
interests.
If the Ministers had not taken the responsibility
Which they so properly incurred, where would have
teen the price of grain at this time ? It would have
reached a point which would have brought distress and

misery on three-fourths of the lower classes of the
community, and would have thrown into the poor-
houses or on the poor books, thousands who now are
able, though with difficulty, to struggle against the iron
hand of poverty.

That it is just to assume, that unless partial impor-
tation had been allowed, prices would have reached an
exorbitant height, no man will doubt, who observes
the number of foreign ships which daily arrive with
corn, or will take the trouble to inspect the returns of
the grain entered inwards; with:importation going
on in some descriptions of grain to this extent, prices
have nearly or quite recovered the small effect which
the first impulse of the Order in Council occasioned,
and are above those which may be considered a fair
remunerating price to the growers of corn.

With a duty such as has' been imposed on the Corn
now admitting to our ports, none of the serious evils
contemplated from the unlimited permission to import
Corn can arise : for at that point at which a profit to
the importer ceases, at that point importation will cease
also. The effect, therefore, will not be to depress
prices to a ruinous degree, but to equalize them at all
times--and thus to obviate the evils occasioned by the
extraordinary variations which have taken place in the
last few years in the price of all descriptions of Grain.
These fluctuations have not been less injurious to
the Landowners and Farmers themselves than to the
Public at large, and any measure which will prevent the
recurrence of such fluctuations, must be in the aggre-
gate beneficial to the Nation. The experience we
have already had of the effect of importation, goes far
to establish this opinion, and while we attribute to si-
nister views the reports which have been circulated
within these few days of the intention of Ministers to
postpone the question of the Corn Laws, we feel a
confident expectation that it will be immediately en-
tered upon on the commencement of the Sessions, and
that his Majesty's Government will not be deterred by
any opposition which they may meet with, from carry-
ing through Parliament a measure no less called for
by the voice of the Nation, than founded in justice and
fraught with benefit to the Community at large.

Nothing operates so much against the prosecution
of offenders to justice, as the grievous delay occasion-
ed by the dilatory, and often partial mode, of conduct-
ing business before Grand Juries—we mean the in-
tolerable waste of time by the prosecutors and wit-
nesses having to dance attendance for three days, and
sometimes a week, in the avenues of the Grand Jury
room, before their case is called on for hearing. This
delay, amounting frequently to a denial of justice,
must be attributable to one of two causes—a prepond-
derance of business, or negligence in disposing of it.
If it be attributable to the first cause, the remedy is
obvious—have two Grand Juries instead of one ; and,
if it be occasioned by neglect, let the nuisance be
abated, but let not the public time be sacrificed un-
Iscessarily and improvidently that rogues may prosper—

" Or wretches hang, that Jurymen may dine."

Let the march of Justice be unimpeded—and the
conviction of the offender prompt—that punishment
may speedily follow the commission of the crime.
There is nothing like plain honest straight forward
conduct, showing neither favour nor affection, but
letting mercy always preside over the scales of doubt.
People generally are not aware of the bitter truth of
the " Law's delay," but let them once be robbed, and
have the additional misfortune of catching the robber,
and they will be edified to their cost. Let us trace
the progress of a thief and an honest man who has
been robbed of his watch, before the robber is con-
victed, and the honest man does not recover his watch
—for stolen property is too good to be restored. The

honest man is robbed of his watch in the street by two
thieves—who fly with 'the booty—he pursues them,
and overtakes the thief who has not the property—the
receiver escapes with it. A bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush, and he hurries to a constable with
his bootless prize. A night is lost in the watchhouse,
and next day is consumed in stating the case at a
police-office, where the case is remanded for a week,
to afford time for securing the runaway and the pro-
perty. The accomplice is taken, but the officers know

---
the time of day too- well to look for the watch. Well,
the prisoners are committed to Newgate, and the poor
man is bound over to prosecute that day five weeks,
under a penalty of ten times the value of his watch.
The day of doom arrives, but not so the day of jkistice
His case may have been the first committed for the
Sessions, but it nay so happen—does too often hap-
pen, to be the last case called before the Grand Jury.
And why ? Because the Gr:md Jury are the best
judges in their own affairs, and pick and choose cases
according to their own fancy, and our hero's case is
perhaps called on the last. Well, he has thus an op-
portunity of studying the practice of the law at the
expence of a pair of shoes on the stone stairs of the
Old Bailey, and the cost out of rocket (for the time

justice should be
free and inviting. The manner '
of
conducting business

at the incipient stages should not be so repulsive as to
deter men from appearing at a police-Office in the first
instance ; but the brutality sometimes experienced at
such places is enough to make people dread the con-
tamination. If it be inconvenient for a large county
to provide two Grand Juries, let not the one Grand
Jury put the whole county to expense and inconveni-
ence by requiring the attendance of all the witnesses
on the first day of the Sessions, when only a few cases
can be disposed of. Why not give notice to the par-
ties to appear on the day their case will be presented
to the Grand Jury ? The business might be easily
so arranged that a party would only lose one day in
attending the Grand Jury, and another at the trial. If
systematic regularity be necessary in other concerns of
life, whynot extend its beneficial influence to the practice
of our Courts ofJustice ? The beauty of order is pro-
verbial, and the result of orderly conduct too manifest
to require commendation. Let any one witness the
hubbub and confusion at our sessions for the first few
days, and he will see the truth of our observations.
Indeed, we at present feel practically the grievance
which we reprobate, for we have 'been deprived three
days of two persons belonging to our office, who have
waited at the Middlesex SesSiOni, to give evidence
against a prisoner who robbed the house, and their
case has not yet been called on ! Why not have sum-
moned them for the foUrth or fifth day, instead of
compelling an useless attendance for three days ?
The hardship of the cast might be greatly increased,
if they had to attend from the extreme borders
of the county. But we have said enough to
show the pernicious tendency of the present sys-
tem, which, in its operation, generally amounts
to a denial of justice. The remedy is easy, and the
cause of justice demands that it be promptly adopted.
The consequences will be an encouragement to prose-
cute criminals by a ready satisfaction to the sufferer--a
great saving of expence to the county—and an im-
provement of public morals, while the public interests,
are protected by the conviction and exemplary punish-
ment of the guilty.

Extract of a letter from New York, dated Sept. 29,
1826 :—" The beautiful frigate Hellas, built by
Messrs. Le Roy, Bayard, and Co., for the service of
Greece, is on the point of sailing for her destination.
A finer ship has never put to sea. Although her size
is about 2,200 tons, with thirty-two long 32-pounders
on her first deck, and thirty-two 42-pounders on the
other deck, she is fully calculated to fight any 74-gun
ship. So perfect is her construction, in every respect,
that, at a distance, she may be supposed to be a small
ordinary frigate."
