LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, NOV. 9, 1826.

Reports have been for some days circulated with
much industry, that it is not the intention of his
Majesty's Ministers to agitate the question of the
Corn Laws until after the Christmas Holidays. If

positive information on the subject is wanting, the
.„
reason of the thing would be conclusive against the
probability of the postponement of this important
question. How does the matter stand ? His MA-

Jr.srlr's Proclamation for the opening of the ports for
the importation of certain descriptions of grain and
pulse was ,issued on the Ist of September, and the
permission thereby given for the entry of these articles
was to continue in force for 40 days after the meeting
of Parliament. On the same day a Proclamation
was issued for assembling Parliament on the 14th
November. For what purpose was Parliament
thus summoned to meet at this unusual season, but
for the discussion of the Corn Question ? And if this
question is now nut to be diseusaed till after the
Christmas holidays, the forty days during which im-
portation was permitted to go on after the meeting of
Parliament will have expired, and it will cease a$ that
moment at which it may be most required. Prices
would immediately get up at a season when it is most
necessary that they should be low, and all the evils re-
sulting from violent, floctuation" would ensue. But
his Majesty's Ministers having taken upon themselves
the responsibility of the measure they adopted, must
immediately apply to Parliament for an indemnity ;
end we may be sure that if they did not apply for
this indemnity there are too many Members interest-
ed against importation who would not let the mat-
ter rest where it is. In fact, it is well known that
many Members have avowed their intention to ori-
ginate motions on the subject, ,if it were not imme-
diately entered upon. But Ministers will not give
them the opportunity of doing so. They will not
shrink from a responsibility which the state of the
Markets, and the regulations which govern importa-
tion, rendered necessary, and without which the nation
would have been now suffering from the distress con-
sequent upon an exorbitant price of Grain. The pre-
sent average prices fully prove the accuracy of the in-
formation on which the Government acted, and the
wisdom of the measures they adopted on this occasion.
The voice of the nation applauds those measures, an'
Parliament will readily indemnify them, notwithstand-
ing the interested and factious opposition which buy
be made.

. 'rho necessity, therefore, of bringing forward this
subject immediately on the meeting of both Houses
is apparent, and it will be impossible, in the iliScussion
of so material a part of the question, to avoid the general
principles of the Corn Laws. Hence, this subject will
form the great leading feature of the first proceedings of
the new Parliament, and we have every confidence that
his MAJESTY'S Ministers will be prepared with resolu-
tions, which will place the importation of foreign corn
upon fixed and understood principles, beneficial in
their operation to all classes of the community.

We haVe received the Paris Papers of Sunday and
Monday, and the Etoile
dated Tuesday morning.
They present us with a great variety of information,
hut none of it is of an important character. The re-
ports of a heavy fall in the French Funds; which were
ill circulation yesterday, are not confirmed, the decline
having been leas than half per Cent.
intelligence from Constantinople contained in
these papers comers down to the 20th ult. Another
fire had broken out on the 11th,
Sultan Acirmitn, and near the Mosque of
was not got under until it had
, ,
done considerable damage, and consumed the new
tower, which had been constructed in the place of the
one destroyed with the Janissaries. The SULTAN;

their appearance. He ordered a piece of twelve Pias-
tres to be presented to each soldier. After the review
his Highness was entertained by the Seraskier at a
grand fete, at which most of the foreign Ministers were
also present. The organization of the new troops
proceeds at Adrianople with activity and success.
Public:traaquillity has been consolidated, and opposition
daily becomes weaker. Orders had been given to the
Capitan PACHA to return from Tenedos to Constan-
tinople with his fleet, the bad condition of which is
said td be the cause of his coming nearer to the Dar-
daittlles. The Observer of Trieste, on the other hand,
announces, under the head of Zante, that the Capitan
PACHA has made a new landing in the Isle of Samos,
and that the Egyptian expedition had arrived on the
coast of the Morea.

From the 11th'
,September to the Ist of October,
there was no battle between the Greeks and Turks ;
kit it seems by the confession of the latter that their
loss in the affair of the 11th was greater than had been
at first supposed. Accounts from the Morea again
repeat that COLOCOTIIOI4I was going to march with a
strong corps to the relief of Athens. The Monitcur
gives an interesting letter from the Count
COURT to the Parisian Philhellenic Committee, which
will be found in another column, with some other in-

formation respecting the affitirs of Greece.
The intelligence from Lisbon comes down to the
same date as that which we received direct from thence

the day before yesterday, and furnishes us with but
few additional particulars relative to the revolt in the
Algarves, the termination of N.Vl'jell is looked upon as

certain.

From Madrid it is asserted in private lettere that

,he Government have succeeded in raising a sum equal
0 1,500,000 francs, for the payment of the Algcrine
ribute, by pledging the Commanderies of St. John of

Jerusalem. This security we should think not worth
having unless the Knights are to receive some terri-
torial possession in return, which, from other rumours,
