Accounts from Bet lin, of the 30th inst. state, that Mr.

Jacob, who some years ago represented Rye in Parhit-
anent, is now in that capital, and that" he is travelling
with instructions from the Government to inquire into
the state of the Corn trade, the cultivation of corn, and
the stock in the magazines, in North Germany. He will
visit M..Thaer, Count Von Itzenplitz, and some other
greatlandholders in this neighbourhood, there to go to
she sea-posts of -Pomerania, and afterwards to Poland,
As far as we can learn,; Mr. Jacob is said to caress

himself favourably for the German landliolderi, g..
then) to hdpe that the English Government intends tt
*Low the free importation of Corn."
That a Government which has displayed so much
liberality in its csmmercial policy. should suffer Grain,
the staff of life, to be the only monopoly it sanctions,
seems an anomaly ; but the fact is, that the Ministers,
whatever power they may be supposed to
not omnipotent ; and that every attempt to repeal the
Corn Laws encounters the most determined opposition
in Parliament ; and thus the corn•eaters • are at the
mercy of the corn•gro wens. On principle, it is impels-,
sible to defend this restrictive system, or to open GeV
penis to German linens, and shot them against Genus
wheat, nor do. we think the experiment at all so ha-
zardous as some appear to consider it.
We do not pretend to say at what price grain may]
be produced, but that bread is cinch dearer than it'
ought to be cannot be denied. H.gh rents, and the'
juggles of corn and flour factors, no doubt have a great
share in enhancing the price of wheat, but they would be
counteracted by the opening of the ports; and while we
have no fears that the landed interest would be injured,
our manufactures and commerce would be extended, by
exchanging their produce for our manufactures. The
Corn Laws are not the work of Ministers, but c.f. the
Country Gentlemen in Parliament; and if they are not re-
pealed, it will not be the fault of the Government, but
of the agricultural interest, which predominates in the
House of Commons.

This forenoon we received Hamburgh Papers to the'
2d, with Dutch and Brussels Papers to the 6th instant.
In Russia, the Government has issued an Ukase against
a certain class of religious books published during the
late Ministry, which chews that their successors are less
tolerant, if it proves nothing else. The following are
extracts :
