CORN MARZET.

mmot-LAtit, JAN. 27.
Wheat, Flour, and other Articles have a heavy
Sale, and at the Lime Prices as on Monday lati.

The Duke of (ku.EINSIARRY has been for Come
da*ticonfined to his chamber, extremely ill.
Mr. Pox will fhortly go to Paris, in order to
contult original documents for his Hiftory, which
is in great forwardnefs. •

Sir CRARLES MORGAN has been laid up with a
violent fit of the gout for a conliderable time at his
houle in Grafton-fireet, Berkeley-11rue-
His MAJESTY has been pleated, by letters pa-
tent, to appoint JOHN WILSON, Efq. a Commif-
floner for invefligating the accounts of the army
in the Weft Indies, in the room of General MAIT-
LAND, reigned.

It is now very generally rnmourvd, that in or-
der t* fatify his MAJESTY'S perfohal regard for
his Grace, the Duke of Porrcawn is to be pro-
moted a fecond time to the Government of Ire-
land. It is added, that the prefent ATTORNEY
GENERAL will fuccecd the Earl of CLARE as
Chancellor of Ireland, to make room for Mr.
Emits', who, with the Duke of BEDFORD, Lord
MOIRA, Mr. GREY, and Mr. Mauer, are to
form part of the Adminiltration, Mr. ADDI tic Tot(
Rill prefcrving the poft of Firll Lord of the Trea-
fury, and Chancellor of the Exchequer.

To make room for fo many diflinguithed p r.
tons, it is evident that fome other rgrafcn
they are ufually termed. mull take place. It is
Paid that the Duke of BEDFORD is to be Prefident
of the Council ; Lord MOIRA Secretary of State
for the Colonies, in the room of Lord HOBART ;
and Mr. GREY Prefident of the Board of Con.
trout. Lord HARDWICKE, who is at prefent in
Ireland, will probably have a Blue Ribbon, or
Come other chtlinguifbed mark of favour on his
return.

Such are the reports which have obtained credit
in the beft circles of political information, and
which it is therefore become our chtty•to an-
nounee, notwithftanding the natural difficulty we
feel in giving credit to them.

We are informed that it has been refolved to
recal Marquis WELLESLEY, the prefent Governor
General of India. His fuccetfor has not, as far as
we know, yet been fixed upon. There are various
reafons fpoken of for the reealofLord WELLISLItY.
We have not heard, however, whether this recal
be occafioned by the Governor General having
I made and unmade Sovereigns without the autho-
rity of his fuperiors, or whether fuch ails have been
without their authority. We have not heard whe-
ther the DireEtors, or the Government that eon-
trouls the Directors, have expreffed any difappro-
bation of the proceedings in the cafe of the Nabob
of Arcot, almoff without a parallel, except in
India. But thofe in power may foften or aggra-
vate the fall of the Governor General, yet we troll
'that proceedings which have brought the Britigh
faith again into queflion over ail the world will
not be permitted to pats over unnoticed. We
complain, and with junice, of the power that makes
and unmakes Kings and Republics in Europe, and
!hall the S&W: Parliament peep, while a company
of merchants abate the authority of their country
to make and unmake Nabobs in Indian This is
Jacobins'/Ns in the very worft fenfc ever given to the
term; and while we accufc our enemies of it In
their conduct to other nations, let us be fine that
the name and authority of the Britith nation he not
implicated in ads no lets derogatory to the Rights
of Independent States or Sovereigns, nor lets in-
continent with the faith of treaties.

Great intereft has been made in ftvour of Go-
vernor WALL, and Minifters wifhed to be in pof-
felfion of the full proceedings of his trial, and ap.
plied to the CHIEF Ballow for a full ftatement from
his notes. Lail Saturday the LORD CHANCELLOR
and feveral of the Minifters had a confultation on
the bufinefs. The CHIEF BARON from other en-
gagements had not been able to get his report
findhed by that time, nor could he complete it till
the next day ; as this allowed very fhort time to
deliberate, it is fuppofed that the reprieve to laft
Monday was wended to Thurfday. To-day the
matter, was to be confidered by the Council.
A few days fince a duel was fought at the
back of Silver-hill barracks, by Lieut.liewarsott,
of the gth regiment of infantry, and Lieut. Tovsy,
when the latter, from the &ft fire of his antago-
nift, received 4 ball which perforated his thigh •
the feconds then interfered, and prevented the
parties from proceeding to any further ails of hof-
tility.

ASSIZE OF BREAD.—Yeiterday the Principals of
the Bakers' Company attended the LORD Maros
at Guildhall, to fet the Affize of Bread ; and the
Mealweighers' Reports being infpeaed, it appeared
that if his Lordatip fet the Mize by she price of
Wheat (which is not coftomary) instead of Flour,
he had the power of reducing the price half an
Aflize, or One Penny in the Pcck Loaf, which
his Lorephip, contrary to the expeaations of the
Company and Dealers in Flour, very judicioufly
did, and by this mode the price of the Qiiartern
Loaf will be reduced to One Shillinp to commence
and take place. to-morrow. This as the &ft time
known for many years of the LORD MAYOR felting
the Affize by the price of Wheat; and his Lord
fhip has declared his determination of always
adopting this Waeafure whenever he can reduce the
price by this method.

The coinage of bafe flyer has of late increafed
to a very ;laming degree. Two perfons were•
committed from the Public Office, Bow-Greet, on
'Monslay lall, for paling counterfeit Ifiver' and yef.
terdaT a man, apprehended in the Strand by fome
of the Patr,ole, with a box full of counterfeit Ihil.
hogs and fxpences in his polfeffion, to the amount
of upwards of 901. was brought up for re-exami-
nation. The Solicitor of the Mint attended, but
merely having counterfeit coin in his poifeffion,
although known as a praditiimer in that trade,
being no offence, he was difcharged. The. bad
I money was ordered to be taken to tie Mint.
