LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 15, 1827.

It is not impossible that the House of Lords
may, this evening, present the extraordinary
spectacle of the Duke of WELINGTON calling
on their Lordships to pass a Bill, which his
Grace has clogged with an Amendment pro-
nounced by his MAJESTY'S Ministers fatal to
the very principle of that Bill. It would be use-
less to speculate on the probability of events to
which certainty will so soon be attached : but,
' though it did not present itself to us in the
same light before, with all due deference to the
opinions of his MAJESTY'S Government, we
would rather see the Bill pass with this objec-
tionable clause, than have the country exposed,
for another year, to all the evils consequent on
the present unsettled state of the Agricultural
Interests.

We may, perhaps, only expose our ignorance
of the question, but it appears to us that the
amount of evil resulting from the DUKE'S
amendment just extends to the loss of interest on
the duty (of, say 20s. a quarter), to the importer
of Foreign Corn. It need •not prevent buying
Foreign Corn and keeping it in private granaries
after paying the duty, though the inducement to
buy it is.undoubtedly diminished by the importer
not having extended to him those benefits of the
warehousing system which some branches of trade
enjoy. Supposing the duty 205., and the quarter
to remain one year unsold—it would be a loss
of one shilling to the importer on each quar-
ter, which he would save under the warehous-
ing system. That the Duke's clause. is any-
thing but an Amendment, in the literal
sense of the word, we are still fully convinced,
and give that party so little credit for sincerity,
that we are not sure whether they would not
next devise some other trick for defeating the
Bill, by supporting which to-night they are
only making a poor attempt to blind the
eyes of the nation. But notwithstanding all this,
the setting the Corn Question at rest seems to
us of such vital importance, that if we could get
no more from the selfish ignorance of the Ultras,
we would even take this Bill with the objectionable
clause, should our calculation of the amount of
injury be correct, when we estimate it at about
one shilling a quarter. But there may be other
reasons of which we are not aware, sufficient to
nduce his MAJESTY'S Ministers to abandon
;he Bill in its present deteriorated shape.

In another column will be found extracts from
the Paris Papers of Tuesday, and the Etoile,
dated Wednesday morning. They contain, how-
ever, nothing of importance.
An article from Stockholm mentions the in-
tention of the Swedish Goverment to raise a
loan of several millions of rix dollars ; and private
letters from Vienna state that the accounts from
the Austrian Frontiers, adjoining the Turkish
dominions, announce increased activity in those
Pachaliks in organizing new troops, both infantry
and cavalry, on the European system.

`We received this morning the Allgemeine
Zeitztng of the Bth inst., which has given in a
Supplement very long extracts from the letters
of Colonel HEIDECK, the Bavarian officer in
Greece, relative to the operations in that quar-
ter, but their dates are only to the 18th April.
The following paragraph from Stockholm, places
the free trade in Corn in its true light, and is
particularly apposite at this moment :

STOCKHOLM, MAY 22.
For these ten days past we have had an uninterrupted
succession of warm weather, the thermometer of Reaumur
being at 20 to 21. Our port is crowded with corn ships
from the ports in the Baltic, and from Finland ; the prices
begin to decline considerably, but if the present hot weather
should continue for a few days longer, a new speculation
on a rise in the prices may perhaps take place. We already
begin to see the happy effects of the liberty of commerce
which has succeeded the old system of restriction, and which
is extended every day. In, most of our sea ports there is
an extraordinary degree of activity, and the flags of fo-
reign nations are seen in them which have long been
strangers to us. A letter from Calmar says, that they have
' now in that port tnglish, Danish Russian, and German
vessels, besides Swedes and Norwegians, a circumstance
which has not occurred for many years. The division of
the common land in the province of Jarntland is conti-
nued, and also in Heriedal, West Norland, West Bothnia,
and North Bothnia. This measure already produces the
happy results that were expected from it. The emigra-
tions into those provinces are numerous : among others,
considerable colonies of Dalecarliaus have settled, and others
only wait for permission to form establishments. On the
T hun inbe trlgie,
14th, 15th, and 16th of the next month, there will be a

By accounts recently received from Cronstadt,
it appeared that considerable activity in the Naval
Arsenal prevailed, and that it was expected that
a Russian squadron of nine sail of the line and
six frigates, would shortly be in readiness to pro-
ceed to the Archipelago for the purpose of acting
against the Turks.

According to accounts received to-day from
Stockholm, the Swedes are fitting out a 74-gun
ship, two frigates and several smaller vessels, for
the purpose of joining the Russian squadron at
Cronstadt. We also learn from France that
two frigates, the Vestal
,and Constance, have
sailed from Brest to join the squadron under the
French Admiral, COLLET, off Algiers, and con-
siderable naval preparations are making both at
Brest and Toulon.

This activity in the naval departments of other
countries cannot be viewed with indifference by
us. The naval ascendency of this country must
be maintained in every part of the world, and no
mistaken views of economy must prevent our
having an actual force on every station, equal to
the combined force of the squadrons of other
nations. If the Russian Government
