FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER ta.
' At the market of MIS day the price of corn rose :
wheat rose from nine to twelve fl wins.
In the. Brussels Papers there are several articles
stating that corn has risen in price. The qgficiaLioir-
mat in a imp article on this subject. observes:
" The hothors of these articles have been led by
false reports to exaggerate the rise which has taken
plaCe,,not considering that this kind of tern" was cal.
enlaced!. t,o bring on the danger. The harvest is so
abundant,Aboth in this kingdom and elsewhere, that
there can be no ground for apprehension, and the laws
against forestalling, &c. are rigorous, and the local
authorities perfectly competent to check it," &c.
The Oateme adds a statement of the prices
in the principal markets for the last week of August
and the first week of September, by which it appears
that they have in general declined, particularly thcce
of rye, and that the rise has been neither considerable.
nor general.

CAinotr, PRELATES.

Sir J. C. HIPPISLEY trusted. that the informa-
tion conveyed by the several official dispatches for
which he was about to move might tend to counter-
act the mischievous impressions of the most gross
and unfounded representations which, from time to
time, were made in another part of the United King-
dom. He thought this aft occasion also to allude
to a letter stated to be written by a Roman Catholic
priest, a Mr. Hayes, from Rome, contain;ng the
most unwarrantable assertions respecting himself
(Sir J. Hippi.ley) and he could venture also to say
as much for the Noble Viscount at the head of the
Foreign Department, whom he did not see in his
place. In fact, these assertions of Mr. Hayes were
wholly false. The Honourable Baronet concluded
with moving for copies or extracts of all dispatches
from Ministers accredited to foreign States to his
Majesty's Secretary of State, respecting the appoint-
ment of Prelates under the See of Rome. Ordered.

AWILITION SINPTURRI.

Mr. DAVIES GILBEKT appeared at the Bar,
and stated, that he held in his hand the First Report
of the Committee of Finance—(Hen►, hear).
The Honourable Member being desired to bring it
up, he delivered it to the Clerk at the Table—(Ge-
acre! crier of read, read).
As soon as order was restored, the Clerk began to
read as follows :—" The Committee of Finance
having proceeded to take into consideration the seve-
ral twitters referred to them, have lost no time in
preheating this their first Report to the House. The
office- which your Committee thought themselves first
bound to undertake was, to consider what retrench-
ments could be made consistently with the public ser-
vice, and with a view to real and practical economy.
2dly, Your Committee deemed it indispensable, that
ample recompence should be afforded to persons
holding high and effective offices; and Sdly, That
such offices as might be considered in the nature of
Sinecures, ought to be abolished on tke death of the
persons who now enjoy them. This subject was by
no means new to the House. It had been often
brought before them, particularly in 1812, when it
was made the ground of a Bid, which was sent to
the House of Lords, and some of the provisions of
that Bill are referred to in this Report. Your Com-
mittee, therefore, recommend, that the following of-
fices, which are of the las: description, should be
abolished, viz. Chief Justices of Eyre, North and
South of Trent ; Auditor of the Exchequer; Clerk
of the Yells ; four Tellers of the Exchequer ; the
Warden of the Cinque Ports ; the Governor of the
Isle of Wight ; and the Commissary-General of
Musters"—(Rear, I.ear, hear).
The Cleric was about to proceed, when Mr. Grt.-1
BERT said, it was unnecessary to go farther. Enough
had been read to satisfy the House of the spirit of the
Report, and of the feelings by which the Committee
had been actuated.

Lord COCHRANE rose, and said. that the abo-
lition of these offices at the death of the persons now
holding them, would not tend, in the•smallest de-
gree, to relieve the unparalleled distresses under
which the country now labour.d. In order to give
effectual relief, it was absolutely necessary that some-
thing should be done immediately.
No farther observations being made, the question
was put, that the Report be printed, and agreed to.

AME RICA.

Some American Paper,' to the end of December
have arrived. The only fact in them wotthy of the
least notice, I:; the proposed amendment '.l the Con-
stitution of the United States, which has been taken
into the consideration of Cnngress..
On the motion of Mr. Pickens, of North Carolina,
the House again resolved itself into a Committee of
the whole, on the state of the' Union, to take into
consid,-ratioti his proposition to amend the Constitu-
tion of thd United Sites.—After some debate •the
quest;on was taken, on the first part ot this proposi-
tion, In the following words :-14 For the purpose of
choosing of Representatives •in the Catarress of the
United States, each State shall be 'divided- by its Le-
gislature, ;mu a number of districts equal to the
.I.:mher of Itepres:ntatives to which the State may
be entitled.
" Each district shall contain. as near as may be,
equal numbers; which shall be determined by adding
to the whole term ef free persons, including those
bound to service for a number of years, and excluding
Indians no: taxed : three-fifths of all other persons.
In each district, the qualified voters shall elect one
reprumet.ttive."
01 a division, there appeared. for that clause, SS;
against, it, SB—so that inure than the constitutional
majcrity ot two-thirds drcid.-d in favour of t!,is part
of Mr. PtcKess's propositiem.
The debate continued on the remainder of it till
nearly four o'clock; when the Committee rose and
reported progress. and the House adjourned.—The
subsequent proceedings have not yet reached us.
It appears by the Papers before us, that rl.ere had
been a short harvest in Maryland. A. Petition had
in consequence been presented to Congress, praying
that a ternporary prohibition of exportation from that
district may be ordered. The proposal was retested
to a Committee. •

AND ANOTHER.

This was an action far money lent and advanced
to the defendants, Mesita.. Harcourt anil Bandman,
lately carrying on business in copartnership as ',tinkers,
at Chard, in Somersetshire, and the surr sought to
be recovered was ‘29,790. 12i. 6.1. The defendant,
Bandman, suffered judgment to go by default, and
the other defendant pleaded that he was not liable.
It appeared that the defendants, as country bankers,
had opened an account with the plaintiffs, as corre-
sponding and town agents. An agreement had been
entered into between the parties, that the defendants
ihnulti always have in the hands of the plaintiffs the
tam iii n 22000, as a consideration for their trouble
in the transaction of their town business; and that it
the plaintiffs should at any time be in advance, five
r cent. was to be charged upon the sums so paid
in the defendants' account. In order to shew that
the defendant, M. Harcourt, was cognizant of the
adtrar.ces for which tlie present action was brought,
tr was proved that fie, as a Meml:er of Parliament,
had supplied the plaintiffs with franks for every day
in each month, und•zr which co:respondence with
Mr. Landman, the acting manager of the Chard
Bank, was carried on.
On the part of the defendant, an attempt was made
by the Arriercae GISNERAL to shew that there was
something usurious in the transaction on the part of
Ramsbottora ; but the evidence adduced being insuf-
ficient fur the purpose, the plaintiff had a verdict for

l'he labours of his Majesty's Commissioners on the
,subject of the Constitution are far advanced. The
principal difipositions of the ancient constitution will
be inserted in the new. No longer will there be any
question between the ancient and the modern pro-
vinces of Wirtemberg. The present King enjoys
the general confidence and love of his subjects,
The system of his government is et once firm and
liberal. The nncipal employments are filled by
persons who are generally esteemed. The beneficial
changes which the King has already made since his
aceeuion to the throne, are only a foretaste to those
which he has in preparation. The Estates will not,
it is understood, be later in meeting than the lit of
February.

having Polish troops under his command, and who
has preserved the memory of their brilliant valour,
and of their perseverance under all fatigues and priva-

a tablet executed by Horace Vernet, representing the
death of the Prince at the moment when already
wounded he leaped with his horse into the Elster.—
The following is the inscription :

known respecting the operations of the Portuguese
army acting in the Monte Video territory. Little or

the operation. It was rumoured that General LE-
con had been superseded by the Marquis d'ALE-
oßrrro. A dreadful hurricane was experienced on
the Brazil coast about the beginning of January, when
several vessels were lost.
