After trflng reaction, the price OF corn has

quarter. Every additional inquiry we have been
able to make, confirms the view whch we have uni
formy taken of this subject. In Canada, the price
of wheat, from recent accounts, has attained very
hph rate, and on the continent Of Europe the ques-
Il ton of scarcity has long ago been settled. We.
some time since, stated certain FACTS which had come
to our knowledge respecting the prudence and fore
sight exercised by the French government, in pro-
cnrinp large supplies of grain from every available
quarter, even from England--and recent occur
renee shows that France is still mindful Of the ne.
cessities Of her people. Letters have been received
there, stating, that the French government, has pro-
hibted the export of corn from France, and that the
lshipment of s. fifteen cargoes Of grain" at Havre,
had been, in consequence Of this prohibition pre-
