ebe Stock Eiehange, ip 1814, was, compared
loiliosaz of the Poyais Loan? The contrivers of
oil jam, mast have known that there existed not even any
ems elements of the requisite basis for such a transaction ;
sob not see what they could plead in bar of indictment
kr obisielug money upon false pretences. Certainly a
tiogettation to the, 'lye's's, which they described at
bpi& is the least punishment they deserve. The poor
swim, trimmere to bevels,' saddled with the payment
if phis loan, deserve the Kreatest commiseration, although
sc;01 emigrations are undertaken without that degree of
which should accompiny a step which cannot be
Maws. The Government is much to blame in not
iggplex matured a rational scheme of emigration, to take
Artist redundant population of the mother country ;
at the only means of checking the accumulation
of misery from the emigration of parties to situ.
Wens for which they are utterly unfitted, and from
ping to places which might suit them, under circum.
Bisects calculated to destroy the advantages that might be
!gaped. We have abundance of 4esirties that do but little
good; but, if the Government continues to neglect the lm-
runt duty of regulating emigration,in such a manner as
to forward both the interest of the emigrants, and of the
lother.country, a society of intelligent men to supply the
deficiency would be a most important desideratum.

There is a letter in London, from the British Consul at
Ferrol, which is dated on the 15th instant, and which says,
that a mice for three days had been concluded 'betwixt the
Governor of Corunna and the French General de Bourck.
Another letter has been received in Liverpool by an emineet
Corunna merchant, dated in Ferrol on the 16th August ;
which, so far from confirming any armistice betwixt the
contending parties, assert, that Corunna continued to make
share defence, and that there was no immediate prospect
of #eabuiission. It is impossible to unravel the conflict-
ion testimony on this subject till farther information be
received, butte the meantime all the friends of Spanish in-
depasilencennesrtain well grounded hopes that necessity
Isarreciesprled the French army to abandon the siege of
Comma. and that an armistice either has been actually
Alibied frogs the Constitotiosaihos. or has been assumed
to be so. in order that the disgrace of a retreat may receive
the palliation of having arisen from choice, and trot from
say eempulsion, occasioned by a hostile movement in the
rear of the French army.
