Where are we TO get Bread =?

fFrom the London Economist, October n
The price of wheat has seldom been so high.
md the consumption Of it has never been
large. 1t becomes, therefore. matter Of grave
and interesting inquiry how and whence we can
draw increased supplies
The harvest Of America this year has been
splendid. and that OF Great Britain decidedly
good.bn France has been less fortunate, and the
produce of the Baltic provinces unquestion
ably deficient. From Canada and the United
States we shall doubtless draw large supplies;
but France will he formidable competitor in
TINT quarter; and competitor, too. who, though
less wealthy than ourselves, will be guided, i'll
the price she gives, by social and political, rs
we'll n by purely mercantile considerations. The
blockade of the Russian ports on the Black sea
will necessarily deprive us Of our usual supply
from those productive sources. One other quar-
ter remains, of which, therefore, it behooyes US
to take all the advantage possible, viz: the Dan
ubian municipalities. Vast stores might be drawn
thence, were the existing impedimenis mt once
aud peremptorily removed. We would urge upon
the government instant anu earnest considera-
ton as to what can be done in that direction.
The impedments to the free export Of corn
from Wallachia, Moldavia and Bulgaria are of
two kinds the internal ones arising from the
Austrian occupation of the Provinces, and tie
external ones, consequent upon Russia's com
mand of the mouth of the Danube. The precise
known to the government. As to the first, wa
need not rndeavor to disguise from ourselves
that Austria will not afford any facilities Ia the
Allies which she can decently avoid, nor scruple
to put any difficulties in the way of our free sup
ply, which she can plau-ibly or without di>coy-
cry create. The fall of Seba-topol. and the favor
able turn which the fortunes of her ''allies up 10
a certain point seem to tie taking, may not inn
probably make some difference in her behaviour
oh IL .lv I,
her real animus.
But her presence there is doubly nimcal to
interests in this particular. In the first
place, the consumption of her army is large and
wasicful: and in the second place, her behaviour
and the officials whom she has set up aud pro-
. tects, effeciually hinder the establs hment of
such a stable, literal. energetic and really milton
al government rs would develop the resources
and draw forth the stores Of the country, by as
surfing 10 property ample and certain security,
and To industry and enterprise their true reward.
The time has come when the allies entitled,
and we think bound, to demand that the Austrian
occupation of the Principaties which. their
whole conduct hns shown. has been effectively
an occupation in the interest of Russia-Shall
cease. aud when her tools and those of her quon-
/ dam protector shall he removed to make way for
better governors and sincerer friends.
Not a sack of wheat can now reach us from
any of the three Danubian provinces without
Russian sanction. She comm ,nls the mouths of
the Danube by means of her settlements and for
tresses on its banks. At present, it appears she
allows neutral vessels to navigate that river, and
these export certain moderate and preearious
supplies. Blu. il is not to be expected that this
permission will continue after she pcrceves how
important deem it; nor ought neutral vessels
alone tn hive this advantage: ought 10
leave the command of such trade and such a
granary in the hands of our adversary.
The mouths O(he Danube and the Whoie ieft
bank from he Pruth dotcncdrds shouid be imme-
diatety arrested from Russia and she should be
driven far enough from the river to prevent her
from exercising the slightest control over its
igaion Ismeal and REM should be seized and
these well as Galutz should be garrisoned and
held by the allies. After what has been achiey-
ed, we cannot doubt that this enterprise might
l. c promptly undertaken and speedily carried out.
On the mode of doing it, shall not plesume to
off + an opinion. As to the proprety and even
the necessity of doing it, scarcely think that
any cne who considers Mt once the demands of
Our CO III markets and the productiveness of the
Danub an provinces. can entertain moments
doubt.
