REPEAL OF THE CORN Laws
The prominent article of interest to a large por-
ton of the readers OF the american u.s. that relative
10 the repeal of the British Corn Laws 1t appears
that the 5lh May, the resolution introduced by
MIR. Canning, modifying the Corn Laws was mas
sed by the House OF Commons. The resolution
adop,eds &c that it is expedent to place power
In the hands OF the Crown TO permit, by and with
the ADVICE and consent of his privy council. the
entry of Foreign Corn for home consumption al
such duty might be specified in an act of Parlia
founded upon this resolution and to be passed
the present session." This resolution goes the
length of repeating in effec, the existing Corn Laws
The object is 10 open the ports for the importation
of Foreign Corn TO the of SOC, 900 quarters
The law 10 last only two months
In the discussion on this resolution, Mr. Canning
stated that the resolution passed for liheratine
bonded Corn had had been the happest effect, and
had done more towards tranquilizing the irritation
of the public mind in the disturbed districts than
would the presence OF large military force. The
repeal of the Corn Laws will trrow open that i'm

The French papers received in London on the
4th of May state, that new disorders had broken
out in of the Spanish provinces, and that
Charles V. had been pr detained at no great distance
from the capital. Accounts from Gallicia mention
ed that the smuggfers were at open war with the
military and that in rencounter with party sent
out to assail them, they had made 80 prisoners of
whom they shot
1t is stated in the Constitutional that sine the LIST
of January, 1000 officers OF the French army, dis
gused at the conduct OF ministers. had solicited
leave 10 retire.
Accounts from Lisbon of april 10, state that the
command OF the Portuguese troops would be conf
ded to an English General.
According TO accounts from Vienna the emperor
of Austria had despatched Count Mempber to Con
stantinope to solicit the Grand Segnior to compi,
with the utimaIum OF Russia.
Accounts from Aiadiid OF the 26th of prl, stale
that the Independent cruisers keep the coast In a
state OF blockade, and even land to obtain proyi-
sions.
Upon the subject of the late continental war
rumors, the Public Ledger OF the 9th of May say:
The German newspapers, well as the
French, continue TO insist on the probability oil
rupture between Russia and the Porte and il is
only strange that there is not demonstration on
the part of single European Cabinet, TO counte
nance this opinion. Whilst the approaching war
is the prevailing topic with the former the latter are
apparently quiet as in times of the most settled
tranquility and IN the military department of
every there is the same repose visible As in the
Loiitical If the public Journals, however, are
right in their warlike conclusions, we can only saw
that the different powers beray an unaccustomed
degree Of apathy, for formerly they would have
been all in state Of the greatest hustle upon less
important occasion. The Porte TOO evinces an I'M
accountable lnaction, all its energies il is well
known, are directed against the Greeks, whilst il
has not taken single measure yet 10 defeat the
hostile designs Of Russia. On the part of the lat
ter too the warke preparations, supposing hem TO
exist, are conducted with such wonderful degree of
secrecy, to have hitherto euded the iynx ey ed
vigilance of European diplomacy. We are well
aware that intelligence has reached town in the
course OF the present week, of the departure OF the
greater part Of the garrison OF ST. Petersburg for
the south but it announces that the troops, con-
ssting of several regiments of infantry and cavalry
of the Imperial Guards, TO make part oil gay
pageant, and not of warlike expedition. They are
To assist at the coronation at Moscow, instead of
proceeding TO cut the throats OF the Turks and in
the mean time the rest of the Russian army is as
quiet possible in its canionmeDts; and we would
defy professed alarmlst to draw from the present
aspect of that empire even faint inference of
hostile character.
" II appears, however, that the Court Of ST. Pc
tersburgh has taken decided steps terminate the
uncertainty, which for these five years has marked
its relation with the Porte. In this course 1t seems
10 be guided wholly by desire to consolidate
peace, and not from a wish 10 violate il. Russia
Is, probably, anxious to see her old intercourse,
commercial and political, re-eslabished with Fur
key; and has for this purpose made new and earn
est overtures to the Pore, based Of course upon
Che stpula,ions, contained in successive treaties,
respecting Moldavia and Wallachia. These propo-
sails have no. only the concurrence of the other
great powers, but will be backed by them with
all their influence; and the result, therefore, may
be easily anticipated. This we believe is the rea
state Of the pending negotiations between Russia
and the Porte. With respect to the war between
The Greeks and Turks, we think it highly probable
that Russia De clines all direct interference, as a
question, properly European, than Russian -
