urday there was nothing done. On no former
occasion is it remembered, that the market
was SD overloaded us at present with Corn, OF
every description. The imports from Ireland
In the Inst month Of Wheat, Oats and Barley,
have been uoprecedeinedly large and as they
are with few exceptions, from tine last crop,
and consequently more or less unsound,
the sales from them have been very trifling
no other but fine samples are saleabie-
Sweet Flour in bond is seldom inquired for.
The same may hes said of Sour. Free sour Flour
nearly maintains its price, and goes of as usu-
nj, i'll small lots to the manufacturers.

liability of hostilities breaking out between
Russia and Turkey, (which originated in the
Morning Chronicle yesterday is, we repeat,
without the slightest f5dIdation--No war will
take place.
Advices were received this mornng at
Carlton Palace from Hanover, dated on Wed
nesday last. His Majesty's attack Of the govt
has been very slight, and we rejoice to say, he
is recovering from it rapidly. His Majesty sets
of from Hanover to day on his return to this
country.

LIvERPoOL, Oct. 93.--The Extraordinary
Cortes OF Spain was opened on the 2Gih uli.
and very cordial disposition appears 10 exist
between the King and the Deputies His Ma
Jcsty's speech stated briefly the SUBJECTS
winch 1t WAS intended to submit 10 the cons-
Iteration of the Cortes, these were, the d,si.-
ion of the territory of Spain, and tn, best means
OF placing, according TO that division, the po-
ltica government OF the Cortes the military
ordinances, decree of the plan Of the org.mi-
cation of the naval force, and the decree
Tor the organization of the active militia
Other points are to be brought before the Ex-
traortinary Cortcs, namely, the measures 10
be adopted to restore the tranquility of the
Americas, the examination and reform of the
duties OF Customs, aud some steps 10 prevent
the introduction of false or defective cur
rency. His Majesty, in conclusion, assured
inc Representatives OF the people of Spain,
that he should always consider the Curtcs as
the iirmcSt support of his constitutional throne.
| To which the President replied THAT the
country was indebted TO his Majesty fol cali
ing this Extraordinary Cortes this they cous-
dered as an unequivocal testimony of mutual
love and confidence. The Spanish nation
he added, equally abhors despotism and nr:ar.
chy; though DESTROYS OF liberty, they ask only
such liberty as may be founded Oh The laws,
and that does not degenerate into licentious-
ness. They will have no government but
limited Monarchy, such ms the Constitution
has established and they entertain the most
unbounded love and respect towards his Ma
.lesty's sacred and inyiolabls person. In
subsequent sitting a project of IA law was in
| trOduccd for new division of the territory
OF Spain, coniOrmable TO the recommendation
! ot the Speech from the throne, and the sub
Ject is likely to be warmly debated in every
stage of the proceedings. To those persons
who have wished TO see discord and disunion
! prevailing between the Sovereign and the Re-
personalities of Spain, the cordially which
has already manifested itself must be extreme
ly ungrateful. These politicians are continu-
ally applauding the British Constitution, be-
cause, as they say, it is more free and confers
more happiness than any other form Of go
vernment in the world, and yet when any
other nation, which has for ages been sunk IN
slavery and superstition, wishes 10 adopt q
similar Constitution, the persons who see or
affect to see in ours so much beauty ,shew evi-
IDENTITY by their language and their predictions,
either that they are insincerc in their profess
ed admiration, or that they wish TO make a
monopoly of these blessings, and to withhold
them from the people OF other states Any
popular cbulliiion they magnify into an insur-
reciiOn, & they endeayor TO incucate the belief,
that the Spanish nation was much more happy
under their old system oftyranny and misriife
than they are likely To he under the new order of
things. Happily for Spain the representations
, Of these advocates of arbitrary sway are ali
fallacions, and the country is rapidly advancing
to state OF government equally remote from
slavery and RIGHTEOUSNESS. The ancient divi-
, sions of territory of Spain into Kingdoms, wo
can easily conceive, are demonstrated and
unfit for the present state of society, and we
doubt not but the principles laid down in the
