MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

In die most forward districts. wheat llarvPse

menred about the 13th inst. bat gesterally. it will he full
ten dav,. later. and in the north, September will rather
Le the harvest month. The quantity of straw is said to
he large in most parts, but from the spring and early
part of the summer being unfavourable, and the subse-
(rent heating 'loon of the corn by the rains, the wheats
have receives! I ...‘sislerable damage, anal it is now said,
nil] not prove an average cron, with the additional mis-
fortune of the quality in all parts bring more or less
deteriorated by the diseases consequent upon such seasons
as the present—mildew and smut. Barley, pulse. anal
tares. are expected to be full crops ; oats more gene-
rally light, and the hay harvest, northward, has been
also light. After-grass universally plentiful. from the
rains which fell last month, henetitting equally the
turnips and potatoes, both which are now promising
(Tops. Of the hops. accounts vary so munch, that they
deserve little attention ; the fairest presumption mav he,
that the crop will he full as large as at present estimated.
Live stork of every kind continues in the utmost plenty,
every where fully equalling the demand at most reason-'
able and still declining prices. Wool very dull of sale
in some parts, in others mending; notwithstanding. a
fine sample from Van Dieman's Land has lately fetched
theextraordinary price of Ills. 4J. per lb , a price greatly
beyond tire best Saxon or Spanish. and a most enema-
vs.fing specimen of production from that most thriving
anti promising colony. The depression among the tr-
uantry is at no rate mitigated by the prospect of the
wheat crop ; and some over anxious speculators go so
far. as to auger an inundation of foreign corn in the
ensuing
year ; an apprehension for n Melt, at present,
we can discover very little ground% even should the
crop on the ground fall considerably
.below an aver-
age. The cultivators on the Continent are under a Find-
Jar depression with our own, and prices sinking daily.
Their crops have also been affected in a similar man-
ner hyatinoapheric vicissitudes. The beautiful weather
which .we have bad for sonic time past, will prove im-
mensely beneficial to the country.-3liddlesex, August

MONDAY aveutsto, 'mermen' 3, 1821.
Paris papers to the 31st ult. have come to hand, but
instead of throwing any additional light on the state
of the negociatious between Russia and the Porte, tend
only to render it the more obscure, and the privions
intelligence more doubtful. Acurdi fig to an article in
The .IfuNitegr, on the authority of the .1 ugebtt rg Ga-
zette, dated Constantinople, July 30. two days after
the expiration of the eight days fixed by the Emperor
Alexander, as the peremptory listen's' of delay, Baron
de Strogonoff, not having received any satisfactory an.
swer on the part of the Divan, declared •that his mis.
lion was terminated, and demanded from 'the Reis-
Effendi passports for Ititnse4 and those attached to the
legation. The Grand Seignor hail, at first, refused
the finnan necessary fur the departure of the Russian
Minister, but, filially, through the intercession of the
ministers of the other powers, the Commandant of the
Porte was verbally authorised 6 let the vessel, in
which Baron Strogonoff was about to embark at Bu-
jukdere, pass without interruption. Contrary winds
prevented the sailing of the Russian legation ; but
it is affirmed 'here, that the ship got under weigh in the
course of the afternoon of the ,31st, and that
Baron Stroginioff safely proceeded on his way to
Odessa, whet e he will be very well received.
Another article front Augsburg in another paper says,
a hope was entertained that the existing differences be-
tween Russia and the Ottoman Government would be
terminated by some desirable arrangement, but the
Porte has suddenly revoked a portion of the conces-
sions which she had previously made. The unexpected
turn which the negociations opened at Constaittinopk
under the mediation of the ministers of Ansttia and
England have thus taken, and the posi he advice
that great movements have been made antotigst
the troops cantoned on the Profit, as well as in
the Ottoman army, under the Juss:ulPaclia, gave occa-
sion at Vienna to the holding of an extraordinary
Council, at the residence of Prince Aletternich, on the
I stb of this mouth. When it broke up, various cou-
riers were despatched to Petersburgh and London, as
also to the Uenerals who command the Austrian troops
stationed in Transylvania, and in the Bannat of Temes-
war. These Journals also contain another Proclama-
tion from the Government of the lottian Islands, dated
Corfu, July 22, declaring that /all boats and vessels
sailing under the British or the lonian flags, and
taking part in the hostilities committed against Oie
furbish forces in the seas of the Alorea and of Rome-
lin. shall, when taken in those unlawful and piratical
engagements, be treated as Pirates, wherever they may
fall into the power of the British nova( Navy.

The Infest Act of the Installation of the
-
General Congriss of Colombia, composed of tlfe
twenty-two free Provinces has fulfilled my most artiest
wishes. The Itepnbliet now founded on the most com-
plete representation of the people of Cuttilinamarca and,
Venezuela, will rise to the summit of their happiness
and liberty to which she aspires; anal that the iegiti-
mate depositories of the Sovereignty of the Nople may.
exerc:se their sacred fnnetions, I consider myself flee
front all executive authority. Being appointed
silent of the State.by the Congress of Venezuela, and
the representatives of Columbia, does not make me the
President of this Republic, :since by her I have not
been chosen. lam tired of hearing myself called a
tyrant by my enemies, and if the Sovereign Congress
insists (which I am nut afraid of) on my still continuing
as President of State, I renounce for ever, from that
moment, the glorious title of a Citizen of Columbia, and
will actually abantlan the shores of Inv country.

SINION BOLIV ‘R.

Ills Evrellency, General Santander, slAit appointed
the President of Cunglitiatuarea by the Congress of
Venezuela, has likewise sent in his reignation to the
Conoess.

The mischief with which the project was pregnant,
of removing. her Al.usisTv's remains. under military
escort, by a route to disappoint and irritate the public
.feeling, appears every day to he greater titan could be
at first conceived. Deplorable as is the hostility pro.
dtteed by that Oct ur;.ence between the Life C; cards and
the populace, and desireable as it is on all accounts to
allay the irritation that exists, tllere are not wanting
firebrands to add fuel to the flame, and to excite to
steps ultich threaten an extension of the animosity.—
Who could have imagined, that in England there could
be men so regardless of the pnblic peace, so insensible
to the respect due to the tribunals of the Constitution,
as to dare to enter into resolutions uhich are virtually
in direct opposition to the verdict of a Jury, and
calculated to countenance the horrible attempt
of introducing among us lawless military sits-
lence, and of absolving the military of the whole-
some and necessary control of civil authority
.1s if the Life tivas 'ls had not of themselves displayed
on the day of the QurrN's funeral, and on other sub-
Kequent occasions, a spirit sufficiently hootile to the pest-
ple, and sufficiently strong of itself to averge their
personal wrongs, a public meeting has been held in
London to form a subscription to manifest, by remune-
ration, the sense entertained of their services, and to
encourage theta in resulting to their weapons when ex-
posed to, what they may personally deem, the assaults
or insults of the populace. A measure more fraught
with evil than this, it is hardiy possible to conceive.
Does this consist with the character which these men as-
slime of the le,Nala !d proccable part q. Mc community ?
What a contrast to this are the steps pursued by the hiNli
in Ireland, where it is his practice and his boast, for the.
purpose of avoiding all occasion of animosity between
the military aid the people, to be unattended
by a single soldier : No one knows how great
a fire a little spark may kindle. The umbrage
given at the Civic dinner at Dublin bats already occa-
sioned a contention, a hick tills the columns of their
papers with recrimination, and lays the foundation of
incalculabl,

The Madrid papers to the 21st ult. which arrived
last night, contain stone intelligence from Mexico,
which, if relied on, is calculated to excite consider
able apprehension in Spain. The Captain of a :whoa
Der arrived at Cadiz in thirty-six day, from the Ila-
vannalt, says, that at his departure 500 men were em-
barking for Vera Crnz. A letter from the Havannalt,
dated July 3, (including the substance of a letter
from 31exico,) states this %suavesr to be necessary for
the defence of Vera Cruz, which was the depot of 12 or
13 millions in goods and money, chiefly belonging to
the merchants at Cadiz. The above-mentioned letter,
dated Mexico, 29th of May, states the measures that
were taking to encrease and concentrate the Royal
troops near the capital. Iturbitle is said to have near
51100 men, including those who went or• r to him from
Valladolid ; but this, the letter adds, would not mat-
ter if the Government has any energy, which it has not.
A brie has arrived at Malaga from the Ravannah, the
persons on hoard of which say, that before they sailed,
a schooner lent arrived from Vera Cruz with despatches
to tl:e Government, stating that Vera Cruz and
lexico were besieged by the Insurgents, and that the
crews of all the vessels in the port had been taken to
man the batteries ; awl that it was absolutely necessary
that speedy aid should be sent Goat the Havannah,
the distress being extreme. The sane persons state
that it was found impossible at the Havannah to give
the aid desired, thought the Govetnusent took every
means.

- ,By advice* Prow Lisbon, it appears, that on the 7th
tilt. the Oovernusent submitted to the consideration of
die C..rtes, various tlespatrhes from the Illr.tzils respect-
ing the late changes in that quarter. On the 9th the
arrival of Conde dos Arcos was notified to them and nest
day they resolved that he shouiti be confined in the
tower of Belem until the charges Against him should
be solentnly investigated.

A vessel whirls arrived on the 2l instant at 31ar-
veilles, front the Dardanelles, met, on the ttlth ult.
near Cape Cerigo. a French rrigate, bearing a Rear
Admiral's 114, and a corvette, cords% the Arehice-
lago.
