LATEST FROM ENGLAND.

We have received by the old line packet
ship New York, Capt. Bennett, our re gular files
Of London papsrs to the evening Of The l7th,
and Liverpool TO the 18th Of October inclu-
sive, from which we make the annexed sum
mary and extra cts. The accounts from the
Russian army, are fatal TO the E,nperor's pros
poets for the present season.
1t was reported in London that agents had
been despatched from the Queen Of Portugal
to France and Vienna, with proposals to as.
sist her in regaining the crown. 1t was adj
ded that Great Britain would aid, provided the
other powers would agree TO it.
Il is confidently stated in the London Sun
Of the 9Th, that two couriers had arrived to
government. BY the French mail just arrived
two reports prevail, one that the Russians
have been again defeated near Shumla, Sec
oDd, that an armistice has taken pla &c.
The London Sun Of the evening of the 18th
friday says, "the public will be %gratlfied to
learn that the price Of corn has fallen consid-
crably since last Monday. and is likely to fall
still lower by mex, Monday" (20th.)
The Liverpool Chronicle Of The 18th uIt. I'M
der the head Of Corn Averages says" II any
thing can shew the utter absurdity Of the sale
returns Of British corn regulating the importa-
ton of foreign corn, it is the following. 1t IS
as notorious as the sun at noon day, that dur
ing the last four weeks, grain has been adj
vancing a, a most alarming rate in every part
of the united kingdom, and yet government
must have published, in their Gazette, quota
tions from returns made TO them, which would
shew that, during that period. grain has been
either declining or been stationary in price!
This mos. likely arises from erroneous returns
made in the inland markets, where the grow
ers are interested in keeping foreign corn out
of the country; and these low returns are not
counteracted by a list Of correct and high pri-
ced bargains; for in Liverpool, strange TO say
perhaps not one-hundredtb part Of the corn
contracts is given to the Inspector. In our
opinion, the simplest mode would te TO legis-
late from the sales at Mark alone, with
out having recourse, at a great expense, tron-
BILE and delay, to the operations Of one hun
dred aud fifty markets. Were every occupier
Of a stand in the London Corn Exchange,
obliged to return, on oath. the quantity OF
grain, with the price, sold by him in that Ex-
change. it would be, by much, the most faith
ful statement, and allowance could easily be
made for its being generally a higher market
than Wakefield, Sc. The dealers in sugar in
London make their returns TO Arthur Ne,'le-
ship. which returns constitute the average
price Of sugar for the united kingdom. without
any reference to the Liverpool of Bristol mar
kets, and no one ever questions the accuracy
Of such average price, and why not pursue the
same simple and easy mode with respect TO
corn!'
The morning Herald Of the nth has these
paragraphs
The dispatches received from Lord Hey,es-
bury confirm the previous accounts relative 10
the deplorable condition Of the Russian Army
before Varni.-According to these dispatches
which are down to the 22d Of September,
varna bad not only not fallen, but no assault
had been attempted by the Russians. We
learn, also from other sources, that the Rus
slams are suffering all sorts Of privations. and
that ono Of their greatest miseries is the want
Of water. After all, however, Varna may be
obliged TO surrender; but, if il should, the VIC
tory will cost him much more than It is worth
and there is little doubt that he will be never
thsIoss forced to retreat. This Turkish war
! forms q striking example Of a very important
truth-nsmely, that although q people true TO
themselves may be exlirpated. yet they never
| can be conquered.
The bonded corn in our ports has been pur-
chased in considerable quantities, for the pur-
