Private letters from Constantinople of the Ist of

" FRONTIERS OP MOLDAVIA, APRIL 2.—Ne learn by
14 Way of Jassy, that Prince Michael Sasso has in cav-
ort with the Moldavian Boyards, and the most wealthy
(:.habitants of the province, established a central com-
"tee for directing the operations of the Oreco-Molda-

the children, of the richcst families have retired to the
Isle of Zante. The insurgents of the Mores, like those
of Moldavia and Wallachia, have promised security and
protection to the peaceable Turks. _

Auosnuno, APRIL 26.—There is more activity than
ever in the new negociations which are going on at the
Congress of Laybach. it is occupied with the future
orlfanization of the kingdom of Sardinia. It is con-
firmed that the Emperor Aletander has manifested a de-
sire that that country should receive from its Sovereign a
Representative Constitution. It is added, that it is for
this object that the Sardinian Minister, M. de Thaon,
proceeded to Lavhach, and from thence to Modena, to
meet the Duke de lienevois,

Couriers from different capitals of Europe continue to
arrive at Laybach, where objects of the highest import-
ance are at present discussing. The attention of the
Congress is partienlarlv fined on the insurrections which
have broken out in Wallachia, Moldavia, and the Morea.
The persnasion is, that the Brand Signior cannot single
handed, reduce these provinces again under his (termini-
nation, although his Sublime Highness has the greatest
repugnance to all foreign interference.
flit un.s, Ant t. 24.—A1l the letters which we have re-
ceived to day from Madrid agree in announcing the
symptoms of a Counter Revolution, which has been for
a long time fermenting, and which, according► to all ap-
pearances will soon tweak out. I nnnrucrable bands of
partisans are multiplying in all the provinces. The
same letter speak of a new association, at the head of
which, it is said, are tieneral Morino and one of the Ex-
Ministers, and which zreatly alarms all parties.

The Marquis of Lo7:I)(rDEILRY, last night in the
!louse of Commons, in reference to a motion made on
a previous evening, and in consequence of communi-
cations he had since received, took occasion to state
!hat neither Russian• nor Anstrians are now ,marching
towards the Spanish frontier. The Sovereigns,
it is understood, consider the object for which their
armaments were assembled as accomplished. It is,
added, however, that they intend, bcfore the dissolation
of Congress, to enter into a treats-, to brim( those
armies again into the field, should any causes of a
similar nature require such another interference.

he Report of the Committee appointr:l to take
into consideration the existing lairs relative to the
manufacture and sale of bread, obtains, we find, the

approbation of some of our cotemporAries. .1 he object
of the Bill fottndefl on this Report is, as we some

days ago remarked, to tztkr VIIIV all restrictions what-
ever from the denomissatiols of loaves, mol to permit
tlse place of legislatite rrgalation to he Piipplied by
free competitioa._ It is on tl:e supposition that the re-
moval of the pre/Sous restrictions will, of cotes., pro-
, duce private competition, that the ap:ororal we hare
mentioned has been foundra. Where a private family

can send to market, as is the rase in some pros incial
towns, and purchase their bnAliel of wheat, and

send it to the mill to be ground, and mottla the flour
they receive from it into loaves, and %end them to an

oven to be baked, there pirate competiCon has its

fullest scope, and the public has the hest restraint
upon ti.e attempts at imposition. If every individual
so inclined could commence at will the calling of a
baker, and the baker with small property could go to
market freely and fairly for his supplies of meal, in
this case, too, we should expect as great a degree of

competition as is practicable in matters of traffic. Bill
when we know the actual state of that particular trade;
the connection between the bakers and the mealmen
generally; the subjection in which the former are
held by the latter; the effect of the meal ian's capital
establishment and holding of the bakers houses, and
the corporation laws and spirit oldie bakers themselves,
it is too much to expect that competition in the baker's
trade can be complete. We say this not from invidi-
ous feeling. It has been generally understood
that the profit. of the baker, as allowed by law,
were scanty enough. It is certainly fair that
lie, like every other man in trade should be al-
lowed to make the most of his industry and skill.—
The view•, however, we present, ■re stated for the
purpose of shewing that while competition is assumed
as the necessary consequence of the projected removal
of legislative regulations, a combination of circum-
stances will continue to prevent the public deriving
from it the expected advantages. It is certainly
desireable to interfere with trade as little as
possible; but in the state we consider this par-
ticular trade to be, we think the baker can
have no reason to complain if the public should re-
quire some small legislative provision to remain for
their security. Relying time immemorially on the
Assize of Bread, they were indisposed to avail
themselves of the right to see their bread
weighed, when it was invested in them by law.--
It is to guard them only against the loss they
may incur from this want of circumspection:
that we are desirous that the legislature should in this
case interpose. Though the public be careless, the
legislature ought to be their watchful guardian; and
we conceive it would not be over-rigoross on the part
of the legislature, nor any unfair imposition on the
trade in question, if the weighing of bread were ren-
dered not optional but imperative.
