An article from Hamburgh, dated January 26,
says, " The public curiosity respecting the issue of
the affair of General Gc lIRGAUD is nosy satisfied ; and
the Authorities have given a definitive judgment in
that case, of which the following is the substance
general Gouncaun arrived here without a passport,
nevertheless be was s►ffered to enjoy the rights of
hospitality, under the condition that he should re-
main peaceable. But. be violated that condition by
provoking to a duel an estimable and peaceable citi-
zen, who had not offended him, and who knew him
only by name. Having thus violated the existing
laws, by disturbing the public security, he can no
longer be suffered here. He is, therefore, enjoined
to procure himself passports for some other country,
and whilst waiting until he has obtained them, he
will remain under arrer: However mild this sen-
tence is, considering the 'severity of the laws of Ham-
burgh respecting duels, they say ti e General has
been very mush enraged at it."

COMCNICHANGE, MARK-LANK, FEIIIMARY 14.
Although we had a very good supply of Wheat this
morning from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, yet the cle-
matis! was fully adequate to the arrivals, and fine
,runs, from the above counties, were ready sale, at
lan advance of two shillings per quarter on last Mon-
day's prices.—Having but little Fine Barley in the
early part of the morning, a few select samples sold
,two shillings per quarter hiher than on this day
week; but the supply increasing considerably abGut
ten o'clock, the trade from that hour became heavy,
and the early prices could not be obtained; so that
our prices left off the same as on Friday, which may
be quoted one shilling per quarter dearer than on last
'Monday.—New Beans are rwo shillings per quarter
dearer. Oats are one shilling per quarter lower, having
a large arrival of that article.—ln other articles nu
alteration.
