THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

COVENT-GARDEN MARKET.
Contrary to expectation, there was rather a limited supply
at this morning's market, and the trade, on the whole, was brisk.
Carrots, Cos Lettuces, New Potatoes, Asparagus, and Cherries,
were lower than on this day se'nnight ; and, though no altera-
tion has taken place in the prices of other th:ngs, most other
Vegetables may be considered cheaper, on azcount of their won-
derful increase in bulk or quantity.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 19, 1827.

The Paris Papers of \Vednesday, and the
Etoile, dated Thursday, contain no news of im-
portance. _ _ _

An article from Vienna, under date of the 7th
instant, copied from the Augsburg Gazette,
states that various reports inundated that capital,
according to which, M. DE RIBEAUPIERRE had
quitted Constantinople, a Russian army was to
cross the Pruth, &c.
These reports had been brought to Vienna
from St. Petersburgh ; but discredit is thrown
upon them, and it is added that the Russian
Court does not seem to have renounced the hope
of leading the Porte by negotiations to more
moderate sentiments.

We entertain a very different opinion. There
is no part of the conduct of the present SUL-
TAN which justifies the expectation that he
will at once withdraw that determined opposition
which he has always manifested to every over-
ture which has been made,to him,for the pacifi-
cation of Greece. Nothing but force will oblige
him to abandon his views respecting that coun-
try, and his power is every day better able to re-
sist the consequences which Russia may threaten
will follow a rejection of her overtures.
The Budget is still under discussion in the
Chamber of Deputies.
Some further disturbance has taken place in
Paris, which originated amongst the students, in
consequence of the Chair, vacant by the death of
Professor LA ENNEC, having been filled, contrary
to the privileges of the Students, by the Minister,
who appointed Dr. RECAMIER instead of con-
firming the election of M. MAGENDIE. The
Students of Law united with those of Medicine,
and the riot was not put an end to till those un-
learned persons, the Gendarmes, had been called
to the assistance of the Learned Professor.

The Quotidienne has an article speculating
on the consequences of Mr. CANNING having
received some members of the Whig party into
his administration ; and we have no doubt that
its reasoning on this subject will prove as correct
as it has been on the events in the Peninsula.

It will be seei., by the London Garotte of last
night, that the Ministerial appointments which
we announced two days ago were Gazetted.
The Earl of •STAMFORD and WARRINGTON
has been appointed Chamberlain of the County
Palatine of Chester, in the room of the late
Marquis of CHOLMONDELEY..

Former Oppositions have resorted to many strange
expedients for embarrassing the Adininistration of
the country, but none has ever surpassed in venom-
that which is now exhibited in the House of Lords..
The public naturally feel the deepest interest in the
fate of the new Corn Bill, and: the Ministry are most
anxious to set that vital question at rest, but their
opponents resort to one expedient after another, with
a view of putting it off, and thereby deferring the
inevitable popularity of his MAJESTY'S Government.
It seems that Lord LAUDERDALE could not or would
not, attend last night, and so the debate on the Bill
must wait his " convenient season." Lord GODE-
Rim", in our humble opinion, yielded much too easily
to this frivolous reason, and fixed Friday for the dis-
cussion, when up jumps a Noble Marquis, and de-
clares that Friday would never answer, as the Oaks
were to be run for on that day. Lord GODERICII
conveyed a most dignified rebuke to such an objec-
tion, by saying that it was an event which he
would not have ventured to mention in such
a .place, and Lord SALISBURY subsequently dis-
covered that the race was not to take place on
that day. It is probable, therefore, as the Oaks
do not interfere, that this important question
will come on then, and its fate be pretty well de-
cided by the result of the division. On its being
carried, men will again have some criterion to regu-
late them in the purchase and rent of laud, and we
sincerely hope, that neither horse race, cock fight,
nor boxing match, nor even the absence of the
great Northern Thane, will again occasion the post-
ponement of a debate on the result of which the
destinies of millions are at stake.
•We would strongly recommend our friend the
Morinng Post to consider the state of the law on
the subject of libel. Its anti-Catholic articles are
admirably suited to work on the delicate nerves of
its female readers when affected by the dissipa-
tions of a London life, or of those timid crea-
tures belonging to the other sex, who are sup-
posed to partake of the nature of aged women,
if they do not wear their dress; but it may here-
after ascertain that it has miscalculated in con-
verting a paper valued for its inoffensive details
of fashionable life, into an organ for expressing the
rancour and scurrility of the selfish and exasperated
Ultras. That sort of people are never grateful, and
when Mr. CANNING is firmly fixed in public favour,
the Post will find that its readers will follow the
stream, and leave it to lament at leisure the
error it has committed, in fancying that the
Ultras are likely ever to make head again in
this enlightened country. As Paganism yielded to
Christianity, as the Catholic religion gave place
to the Reformation, and as the darkness of the
Gothic ages was dispelled by the light of science—no
less certainly will the mystified obscurity, and hollow
selfishness of Ultraisrn, be supplanted by the liberal
principles of foreign and domestic policy, which are
entertained by the splendid Statesman now at the
head of his Majesty's Government. Whilst the
cause of liberality is deeply injured by those persons
whose unprincipled zeal urges them to disregard
time and opportunity, it will ever be our object to
inspire others with the sincere veneration which we
feel for our glorious Constitution, and to advocate
no changes but such as are absolutely requisite to
preserve its original spirit. If such a modification is
rendered imperatively necessary, as the readmission
of Catholics to the benefits of that Constitution
of which the key-stone was fixed by their
forefathers at Runnymede, we would (without ap-
proving of Catholicism) yield to the necessity, and
by timely renovation save the venerable structure
from the unhallowed hands of the radical Reformer,
—that fatal destiny which the obstinacy of Ultras
brought upon France towards the close of the last
century, and •to which those in England do their
best to consign us, even in the face of such dreadful
experience.

Lord ELLENBOROUGII again, last night, endea-
votired to obtain information respecting our relations
with Portugal, and the intentions of Government
regarding our Troops now there : but Lord DUDLEY
Stated that the name reams which operated itgai:;st

his giving this inforniation when before &sked, itill
prevented his entering into any details.
To a very shallow Politician," it must be evi-
dent that during the pendency of .negotia-
tions such as those known by common report
to be going on upon this most important subject,
it would be impossible for his MAJESTY'S Ministers
to furnish any information which might not be at-
tended with dangerous consequences. The very
mention of the subject incurs the hazard of some ex-
pression, from which, by inference, if not from its
direct meaning, some deduction may be drawn which
might affect existing negotiations or mislead the
public. His MAJESTY'S Ministers, as Lord DUDLEY
observed, are acting on their own responsibility,
and to the best of their judgment, for the
good of the country : and we have no doubt
when the proper time arrives to disclose their pro-
ceedings, it will appear that they have acted with
firmness and prudence.
The aspect of affairs both in Spain and Portugal
is portentous—but we may safely rely on the wis-
dom of his MAJESTY'S Councils to uphold the inte-
rests and honour of Great Britain and her Allies, in
every case which may occur. The energy which
we displayed in sending our troops to Portugal, and
the moderation and. propriety of the instructions
under which that army has acted since it has been
there, are matters of notoriety; and whether we
withdraw that army, or reinforce it, we are con-
vinced that in either case the voice of the country
will subsequently approve the determination of his
MAJESTY'S Ministers, when the grounds of such
determination are laid before Parliament.

By the arrival of the Hamilton, Capt. BUNKER,
at Liverpool, from New York, which place she left
on the 24th ult., Papers have been received at the
North and South American Coffee-house, up to that
date inclusive. The following is an extract of a
Private Letter contained therein :

" HAVANNAH, Arlin 8.

" I deem it important to communicate to you, for the
information of persons trading to this place, that the Re-
venue regulations are now enforced with the utmost rigour,
and that attempts to evade them must inevitably end iu the
forfeiture of goods. The Intendant (Mr. Pinillcs), wbo is
a shrewd upright man, of extraordinary energy and decision,
has firmly resolved to put an end to smuggling, which is
so extremely injurious to the fair dealer and to the Govern-
ment. To attain this object, he has recently adopted very
efficient means. The penalties in certain cases, besides the
loss of goods, extend to a heavy fine. The American
schooners Romeo and Enterprise, on board of which smug-
gling had been detected, have been seized, and the vessels
with their cargoes were sold forthwith at public auction.
Several others were discovered, having articles of a different
nature mixed together, such as beans with cambrics, and
shoes with potatoes, with the intention of sinuggl:,,g. The
Intendant, however, acted with equity in not punishing the
design of the parties concerned, and restored them their
property, but issued the official notice you will find in the
Gazette sent herewith, whereby all such articles in future
will be forfeited. The Intendant, on the other hand, ever
anxious to study the convenience of the merchants, and to
facilitate the transaction of business, published an Order of
the Ist of this month, allowing a credit of five months on
Custom-house duties. Heretofore no vessel was allowed to
sail until the duties on the cargo were paid to the Treasury.
