The following letter is from the Agent to the North
and South American Coffec-house, dated,

BUENOS AYRES, JAL 28.
The war and blockade still continue. The latter
comes every day more absurd ;no signs of peace. Th
is indeed a most extraordinary war ; the country
absolutely prospering under it, that is to say, the
landholders, &c. Foreign merchants have hitherto,
I fear will io the end, have to pay for all. From
cessity they have become the chief holders of ,
money, by which the war has been fed. I have ,
or space to enlarge upon the subject. It appears
than probable that this Government. from existing
camstances, can carry on the war for an indefinite
riod, because it is strangers that suffer, and not
people. Many persons have ridiculed the idea of 1
nos Ayres continuing to war against an Empire
Brasil--that she was at the end of her resources,
It was forgotten that the contest is supported by
resources of others, who have been completely -
in the trap, and that the very want of credit to
Buenos Ayres has been reduced, is the means of savir
her. Foreign merchantmen begin to find this out,
a,e strenuously exerting themselves to prove to ,
respective Governments the inefficiency and abuse o
the blockade, by which only neutrals suffer. Th
coasting trade of this port is in its full vigour, as
scarcely a day passes but convoys arrive and sail •

This morning we received German Papers to the
9th inst. The Nutemburg Correspowleut contains se
article from Ancona, dated the 28th ult. which out
be highly gratifying to the friends of the liberties f
Greece. The independence of that country is no
solemnly recognised by the British Government. Te
Greek national flag, which heretofore was never Fr.
mitted to be displayed in any of the ports in the loci::
islands, was, with the permission of our Goverrac:
hoisted on the 20th ult. on all the Creek ships of w.' '
and merchant vessels in the harbour of Zante.The conclii
of Count CAPO d'lsteretra in the administration of tie
affairs of Greece, continues to be the theme of general
approbation, and the natural effects of his good rye It

which is taking place in the chaos that formerly prevailed
The evacuation of the Morea by InRAHIII PACHA seem
to be determined upon : a number of transports, for ill
conveyance of his army back to Egypt, are stated LC
have arrived, and the troops have been concentrated or
the coast between Modon and Nevado.

The following are extracts:
ANCONA. Ma 2s.

By a vessel from the lonian Islands we have recent
accounts from Zante of the 20th of this month, will,
give the important intelligence that all the Greek sti
of war and merchantmen at Zante had, with the ft
mission of the Government, hoisted their national fit
on the 18th, a proof that the new Government of Greo
is considered as likely to be consolidated, and that En;
land recognises its independence. The respect of t',4
Greeks for Count Capo d'lstria is said to be boundles,
his commands are blindly obeyed, and in all the prr
vinces private and public affairs are gradually assumirt
an appearante of order, regularity, and obedience,
which there was before no notion. Count Capo d'lstO
will return from Napoli to Egina. No Greek ship to
now sail from any port without a permission in writing
from the President, by which a salutary check is
upon piracy.

The lettrrs from the camp of General Church again
speak of the capture of Anatolico, and of the hope of
the speedy surrender of Missolonghi.
A convoy of twenty sail, with ammunition and pro-
visiints, bound from Alexandria to Candia, was over-
taken by a storm near Damitte, and most of the ships
sunk, with their crews.
Letters from Alexandria, of 21st Feb. say, that in
consequence of the decrease of piracy in the Levant
trade was beginning to revive, and several convoys were
ready to sail to different ports in the Mediterranean,
especially Leghorn and Marseilles.—Nuremburg Cor-
te:pendent, April 8.
We have also received the Algemeine Zeitun,g to the
10th instant. The intelligence it contains from Trieste
is rendered of less importance by the preceding ac-
counts from the other German Papers.

•
TRIESTE, .111Asca 31.
Our accounts from the Archipelago are to the 24th
February.
It appears that Count Capo d'lstria was engaged
alstit that time on an important military operation,
which would require the whole military and naval force
of Greece, and that orders had been sent to all the mili-
tary Commanders to act for the execution of a common
plan. A corps of 1,800 infantry is said to be assembled
near Napoli; a corps of 4,000 infantry near Frcezene,
and a third, of troop* of all descriptions, near Corinth,
and all are employed in preparations for future opera-
tions. Similar orders are said to have been sent to
General Church, who is still in his old position near
Dragomestre. Count Capo d'lstria embarked on the 18th
• -Feb. on board the Warspite for Ppros. All the foreign
and Greek ships which were in the harbour of Egina
accompanied the Count. A new life appears to animate
the whole population of Greece, and the dangerous
spirit of insubordination appears to have left the troops,
since the President takes care that they receive their pay
punctually, and even distributes presents on every
occasion when they perform any thing remarkable.
Among the Arabs and Turks, on the contrary, all dis-
cipline has vanished, to which the battle of Navarin and
the distress which the troops suffer have chiefly contri-

bused. Whole bands of Turkish marauders are said

now to be net with in the Morea, who traverse the
country in search of plunder, under leaders of their own
choosing. The Turkish fortresses are likewise in the
greatest want of provisions, and the districts in which

the Turkish troops are, suffer much from want of pro-
visions. It is therefore believed that Ibrahim will at
length resoli.e to leave the Morea. It is said that he
has lately been advi.sed to embark as soon as he can, if
he thinks to lead the troops under his command with
honour out of the field.—Algemeine Zeitung, April 9.

By the Mail from Buenos Ayres and the Brazils, we
have received the Correo of Buenos Apes to the 29th
January, and the Diario Fluminense to the 17th Feb.
Their contents possess very little interest. The war wi.s
still confirming, but in a very languid state.
The following are esti acts :
RIO DE JANEIRO, FiIIRCAILT 16.

1. The General Mansilla privateer, on its return to
Buries Ayres, was chased by our ships, which obliged
it to ran aground on the coast between Barragan and
Buenos Ayres, and set it on fire.
2. The Federal Argentino privateer, coming out of
Buenos Apes, having already escaped the vigilance of
our vessels off that port, was, however, seen and chased
by o:hers that were cruizing lower down, pursued till
it ran aground, and was also burnt.
3. In the night of the 26th January Brown came out
of Buenos Ayres with four of his best ships, and meet-
ing with only three of our vessels, he was forced,
after an action of an hour and a quarter, to retreat to
his old place of refuge. Our loss was two sailors killed
and some wounded, among whom was the Commander
of the Maranham. This is the summary of the dispatches
brought by the packet.—Uierio Fluminense, Feb. 16.
BUENOS AYRES, JAN. 7.

We are sorry to announce, that a few days ago only
the Deputies of Buenos Ayres and of Cordoba had as-
sembled at Santa Fe, the place appointed for the conven•
tion. This delay in the meeting of that august Body
is Undoubtedly very prejudicial to the general interest.
JANUARY 9.—A letter from Cerao Larga, in the
Banda Oriental, of 27th Dec. says, General Lavalleja
arrived here four (Lys ago. The army is content, and
there is no desertion. The General has addressed
a Proclamation to the troops, and I understand that
we :ball soon march. The enemy's force increases
daily. ♦ll the Germans desert in bodies ; the last party
that came over to us consisted of ten. The activity and
zeal of our Government have filled us with confidence.

he. 22. The General in Chief of the Army of Ope•
rations, by a Note of the 12th inst. states, that as he was
on the point of marching with the cavalry to surprise
smite encampments of the enemy, the latter had made
a general and precipitous retreat, abandoning even the
fortress Cerrito, directing their march to the Cama
cuceses. In consequence, .a part of our cavalry wa.
marching to take a position on the Yaguason, which is
more favourable for attacking the enemy. Our boats
had taken three vessels richly laden.— Como of Buenos
Ayres, to January 28.

" The Laws concerning Corn,* says ADAM SMITH,
" may everywhere be compared to the laws concerning
religion. The people feel themselves so interested in
•hat relates either to their subsistence in this life, or
their happiness in the life to come, that Government
must yield to their prejudices, and in order to preserve
the Public tranquillity, establish that system which they
aliPeove of." This accounts very well for the compro-
mise which our Government has been obliged to make
between the clashing cries for and against a system of
prohibitory Cora Laws. For, met was there a question

more completely overshadowed by misrepresent*ons
and fallacies, than this has been by the advocates of
restriction. Take, for example, a statement gravely
maintained in the last number of a leading Review—
that the agricultural labourers would not benefit by a
free importation, because the money price of Corn being
thereby lowered, the wages of labour would be reduced
in proportion. Now this is as much as to contend, that
the value of labour—unlike all other commodities—is
not dependent on the rule of supply and demand. If
the number pf labourers were suddenly increased, while
the quantity of corn remained the same, a smaller share
would, of course, fall to each workman. And the re-
verse must take place, if the supply of Corn were to be
increased while the labour continued the same. The
circumstance of the money-wages being reduced is,
therefore, perfectly immaterial; for when a man can
earn two coombs of wheat instead of one, as his just
reward, it makes no difference to him whether the money
price of that wheat be twenty shillings or forty shillings;
all he has to look to is, to exchange his labour for com-
modities, or an equivalent in money. Is it not then a
monstrous absurdity to say, that the general body of
labourers would not derive advantage from the bless
ins of plenty, because the currency may have changed

its value ? We are among those who believe the term
41 TALUZ " to be merely relative, depending on supply
and demand, and we wish certain Honourable Genii.-
men would say less, in debating this topic, about the
circulating medium, and more upon th• question at
issue, viz. the expediency of the Importation of Ccrn.

Prince ESTERHAZY, the Austrian Ambassador, via'
engaged for upwards of an hour yesterday, at the Foreign Office,
Downing-street, transacting business with the Earl of Duossr. His
Excellency bad afterwards a conference with the Duke of Wu-
LINGTON. _

The advices from Constantinople to the 19th ultimo
state, that the great st tranquillity reigned there, and
many strangers, among others Lord PRUDHOE and M.
Louis GARNERAY, had gone from Pera to visit the
capital; and the SULTAN had ordered that all the re-
markable buildings should be shewn them.
Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial
Office, from Lieutenant General DARLING, at New
South Wales.

American Papers to the 20th ult, arrived yesterday.
They do not bring us any news that can be considered
politically important, and contain no intelligence from
Colombia or Mexico. An account of the National
Debt of the United States has been laid before the
Home of Representatives, by Mr. RUSH, from which it
appears, that the whole is expected to be liquidated in
1 15, by an annual grant for that purpose of ten mil.
lions of dollars.

The parishioners of St. Paul, Covent garden, have
laid a cue before Counsel, whether Mr. Rocs's. the ex-vestry clerk.
can legally demand a scrutiny of the late election? The Learned
Gentleman to whom the case has been submitted has given it as
his opinion, that a scrutiny cannot be demanded.

Yesterday se'nnight, about 50 Spanish sheep were
conveyed through Lewes in a waggon, on their way to
some seaport eastward, icr exportation to New Synth
Wales. -

The sheep in every part of the upper district of
Peeblesshire are in better condition than they have ever
been seen. This is the natural consequence of the mild
winter, and cannot fail to produce a favourable influence
on the lambing season ; and young lambs are frisking
within the sheltered enclosures in the upper ward of
Lana: kshire, and even on the hills a few have made
their appearance.--$ cotantan.
A party returning from the Fair of Carrigaline, near
Cork, on Monday se'nnight, about eleven o'clock, had
arrived within twenty yards of the beach, when the boat
in which they were, unfortunately upset, precipitating
twelve persons into the water, fir e of whom sunk to rise
no more. Two of the sufferers had been married only
six weeks, and two others were on the eve of being
unitei.

About six o'clock on Friday evening a fire was dis-
covered. in the stable of Mr. Lamb, of Newcastle, by
the boy, who had done the horses all up that day with
new straw, and had left them about half an hour : he
had then used a candle, and it seems that sotnething
had fallen from it which had ignited the straw, after
his leaving tl.e stable. The alarm being given, be
opened the door of the stable, and his attention was
directed to a mare (Maria, by North Star, dam by Go-
barna, which was entered for the great handicap gold
cup at Liverpool): he found her enveloped in flames,
and plunging in a dreadful manner ; this, with the door
closing upon him, prevented him from extricating her.
He ran for assistance; but, in the mean time, she was
literally roasted alive. Two hacks were also dreadfully
scorched. By the prompt exertions of the neighbours,
wi.h buckets, &c. the fire, which was principally con-
fined to the mare's box, where it had originated, and
the beJding of the two hacks, was quickly got under :
and, by the time the engines got to work, all further
danger had disappeared.
It is with extrema regret we have to announce the
death of CHARLES STABLE, Esq. one of the Sheriffs of
London and Middlesex, which took place yesterday
afternoon, at half-past four o'clock, at his house in
Bedford street. Bedford•square. He was seized with,
apoplexy on Friday morning, just as he was about to
leave his home to attend his duties at the Old Bailey.
Mr. STABLE was happy in an amiable disposition, and
•irtues which endeared him in private lilt. Long and
severe will be the grief of his family and friends.
