Obliged to make Up the deficiency with
wheat. the surplus Of which is annually
exported to the northern harbor Of
France. This accounts for the extra
ordinary rise in the price Of wheat on
the shore of the Baltic, and the inutll-
itv of the orders sent by the French
merchants TO the markets OF those
countries. Southern Germany has, IN
it's turn. become alarmed. The Gov
eminent Of the Grand Duchy of Ba-
den has dccrccd the free importation
of foreign grain and flour. The King
of Wurtemburgh, by an ordinance on
the 18th inst. has also permitted the
free importation of flour and foreign
farinaceous productions until the lst OF
Nav, lS47. In Bavaria, the wealthy
inhabitants of Nuremburg have Just
founded an association for the supply
of grain. That society, will manuiac-
ture bread and sell il to the poor class
es under the market price.
From GaIignani's Messenger, Octoberl
A rather serious disturbance took
place on Wednesday nightin the Eau
bourgh St. Antoine, occasoned by the
augmentation Of a confines in the
price of the Alb. loaf The following
particulars have reached US from an eye
witness
The inhabitants OF the Rue du Fau-
bourg st. Antoine and adjacent streets,
chiefly inhabited by cabinet makers,
whitesmiths, &c. assembled in consid-
cradle numbers last evening at 7 o.
clock, and proceeded to the bakers
shops in the vicinity in order to lay in
provisions of bread in consequence of
the rise in prices commencing this
morning. The quantity left after the
sale Of the day was soon disposed of,
and the crowd increasing every mo-
ment soon became riotous, and broke
the shop fronts, and several of the gas
lamps. This scene continued for some
time, and about half-past nine O'Clock
the mob commenced raising IA barri
cade across the Rue du Faubourg ST.
Antoine with the stones of the Rue
Lcnior, which they impaired with in
credible velerity. The Horse MUM
cipal Guard soon afterwards arrived,
and rode among the crowd several
times, but they always opened their
masses and gave them free passage,
closing Immediately behind them
A battalion of the 18th Foot, headed
by it colonel, afterwards came to the
spot. They we're received with cries
Of give la Ligne!" and the tumult
having lasted ill near midnight, the
popuIaco began gradually to dispersc,
and the streets became comparatively
quiet. The rioters did not, however,
separate without making an appoint
ment for rendezvous at the same quar-
ter this evening. The bakers having
been prevented baking in the night,
carts loaded with bread this morning
arrived from ali quarters and the
bread they contained was sold in the
atrect.
Ctrom the Lo"dO" fines, Sept. aal
We mus. say that we see no escape
from the evident fact that Europe be-
gins this ensuing year with a most unu-
sually deficient stock of food. In Ire
land alone the food of 1000, 900 humao
mouths has persisted. The failure of
the potato in other countries, amounts,
probably, TO Mt least an equal deduc-
ton from the aggregate supply
Throughout the continentthe lower de-
scriptions Of corn, occupying the same
place ms the potato in ireland, have
partially, in some places totally, failed.
In very few places is the wheat crop
more than an average one. The food
Of the masses, however, is the question.
There can be no doubt whatever that
it is seriously deficient. 1t is impossi-
bic TO mystify that fact. All the diff
ferences as compared with the crop oil
last year, which we now know TO have
been unequal 10 the demand, are in the
direction Of decrease. There is nc
one particular of increase at all likely
10 make up for the fearful deficiency
under other items. The result is ,
plain matter, not so much of calcula
ton as of such forcthought rs nature
