T H K M U S E U :\1 O F PARIS.
T H K M U S E U :\1 O F PARIS. ( From Miss Williams's Narrative.) When the direful truth was promulgated, what language can paint the variety and violence of passion v hich raged in every Frenchman's hreast Curses, louder and longer than those heaped upon the head of Bonaparte, were poured out on the Allies by the enraged Parisians. They forgot all other niiieiies the project of blowing up 01 iig. pillage, spoliation, massacres war- taxes, the dismemberment < f empires ;-all these ) they v.-ipert away "from their tablets." No < longer were their heads plotting on tyranny, on i < liberty; they thought no more of the cession oi fortresses, and the late of the Constitutional Chat t all principles, feelings, hopes, and fears, were absorbed in this one great and horrible hu miliation. While the allied troops were employed in the removal of the Corinthian horses, all passes to ihe Place of the Carrousel were guarded by Aus- trian cavalry, posled al the avenues of the streets (hat led to it. The Place of the Carousel wss forbiddengrouod only to the French. Foreigners had liberty to cross it as often as they pleased. I I heard an officer call out to an Austrian guard who hesitated, I am an Englishman, and have a right to pass" The claim was admitted. The gateti the most vigilantly guarded during some days, against the intrusion of the French, were those of the altery of the Louvre. It was s,ii(l, thit measure was taken from motives of tenderness to those feelings which the scene within must, naturally have excited in the French but it was rumoured also, that exasperation might produce violence, and that the pictures, might be defaced, or statues mutilated. The troops of each nation took this post by turns. It was that of the Austria-is at my last visit. There they stood, tletiaiiee in their eye against all French- men, and i resh green brandies stuck in their caps this is he usual ornament of the Austrian sol- (iier's fiat or cap, when in campaign but these branches appear so much like symbols of victory, that they are highly offensive to the French.— When foreigners required admittance the doors werethrownopen. The Frenchmen who were refused, glanced at the laurelled cap, but their lips muttered imprecations, and withdrew. Some few had, ijowever., the address to procure entrance they were but few; 1 found some artists pacing the gallery of Paintings they had zt-n air of (1istrar:tion, and were mutterieg curses, 11 Pot loud, but deci). Qiie le totitier e (iii Ciel !-Off I e'en est trop.!—e'en est trop and other exclamations in the same style. A chill sensation came across my heart when 1 descended to the Halls of the Sculpture, and saw the vacant pedestal on which ha! stood die statue fhat enchants the world." I gazed on the pedestal; one of the old liveried attendants of the Hall, interpreting my looks, said to me, in a sorrowful t-iie, 11 Ah Madam, she is gone, I s-hall never see her again 1" 11 Gone," said 1. 11 Yes, Ma- dam, she set out this very morning at three o'clock, et sous bonne escorte." The old man seemed to mourn over Venus as if she had been his daughter. The adjoining hall piesented a few days after a most melancholy spectacle. There lay the Apollo on the floor in his coffin. The workmen were busied in preparing him for his journey, by wedging him in his shell; and an artist was tracing his celestial features, when the trowel with its white paste passed across his divine visage. His arm was still majestically stretched out. The French artists who were present wept over it; they pressed his hands to their lips, and bade him a last adieu I The scene was now closed on that perfect image worthy of almost divine houours. He was going to add a new glory to Rome, and draw new pilgrims to his shrine; but to Paris he was lost for ever, and she might well deplore her calamity; she had indeed setzed him as her captive, but she had gazed on him with unwearied admiration she had hailed him as the most splendid trophy of victory and she would have"purchased his stay with her treasures, even with her blood, had not resistance been unavailing. In the package of these divinities much appre- hension was felt in their sustaining some injury. The necessary aids and tool;, were wanting. No rewards, no menaces, however, could prevail on the French eroclieteurs, porters, and labourers, ()IV-i)-g in the streets for employment, to lend their aid. The French of the lowest class, were ;00 indignant and mutinous to be the abettors of such spoliation. The ladders of (he master of au exhibition of singes s,avans, learned monkeys, In tllcneig-hbourhood of the Louvre, were at length, put in requisition to unhang tive pictures. The Pythian divinity of Olympus lay in the streets all night, and might hafesuffer-ed from any accidental tumult; and the Venus de Medicis was fated, like an abandoned fe.male, to take up her abode for some hours in a .common guard- house. The Commissaries of the Duke of Tuscany, having sent off the Venus, laid tlieir hands on the Madonna della Seggia. The Spahiards claimcd their share in this ge- neral distribution, and succeeded better tl.'an they had done in their purposeof invasion; of which ir appears, that the principal motive was th at of obtaining new clothes, since they had he.ard, with some envy, that almost all the troops of Europe had made their toilette at the expeticeof France. And lastly presented themselves the commis- saries of the King of Sardinia. They came at an unlucky moment. The Austrian guard at the Museum had been called away to assist in the removal of the lioi-sei it the Thuilleries. The guardians of the Museum, raised into indigna- tion at the attack of these new commissaries, col- lected their forces, consisting of numerous work- men, and with brush and broom swept the Sar- dinians out of the gallery.

COMMERCIAL REPORT. Suifai —The depression of the prices of Sugar last Tuesday 3s. a 4s. per cwt. attracted the at- tention of the buyers, who came immediately to market, and took off very considerable parcels at the reduction we have mentioned the prices of Muscovati. es were unvaried till Friday morning, when there appeared an wish among the ;rr.de to supply themselves with considerable stocks; several extensive export-houses were also purchasers, either on speculation, or with a wish to-secure Sugars at the present prices in anticipation of the Spring orders from the Conti- nent the business done was very considerable, the prices of Muscava.does advancing Is. a2s. per cwt also affected by the improvement III reiined gi idi. Coffee.—The depressed prices and the languid demand have induced the holders generally to withdraw their Coffee for the present, There was no public sale, brought forward during the last week, and no business of any consideration was done by private contract, the buyers looking forward to a farther reduction, on account of the quantity brought forward by the Ea.t. India Company, consisting of 41,00-' bag; The im- ports by the Company continue to attract the notice both of the purchasers and the holders of Coffee, a; there is no doubt the present prices of the West-India, &c; have been depressed by the extensive imports from the East; the stock of the former is now much under any previous year, and the prices unprecedentedly low the present stock is about 20,000 casks and 80,000 bags less than last year; and it may be mention- ed, that though the supplies in the East-India Warehouses are reported to be very extensive, yet that the glut produced by the great imports, (the accumulated stock of years at Java, &c.) is gradually wearing away. The general opinion in ( the market, however, of the facility of cultivat- ing Coffee in the East-Indies, and the increased demand by the private traders, who must make immediate and extensive returns of produce to !his country, is, however, entitled to serious con- sideration in calculating the probable rise or fall, D the currency.

PRICE OF GRAIN.
PRICE OF GRAIN. Thoughts on the Market Price of Grain, and the, consequences ttf the present low price. The growth of corn in a country ought to he regulated by or correspond with the demand for it. The demand must either he for the internal consumption of the cotitili-y or for exportation. Exportation of grain from this country has not been great for a century, and may now be reck- oned as nothing. The consumption of the country cannot he greatly different in one year from what it is in another, the population and habits continuing nearly the same. In years of plenty it will ex cced an average, in years of scarcity or deficiency it will be less. When the quantity of any commodity at mar-I ket is great the prices must fall when small and inferior to the demand the price must rise. Corn is a commodity which will keep. The farmer in a plentiful year does not bring the whole he grows to market, but reserves a supply for what he calls better times. It is only when there is a succession of good harvests that he is forced to sell, in the fear that his corn will pe- rish whereas the consumer must have his usual quantity. The farmer has thus an evident ad- vantage over the public. If the farmer, in taking land, does not calcu- late upon contingencies, upon the average of plentiful, scarce, or medium years, he acts un- skilfully and imprudently. If the landlord takes advautage of the unskil- fulness,or imprudence of the tenant, he will he obliged to lower his rent or raise the tenants, and ultimately injure his own estate. For a number of years before the last and the present, the price of corn was very high, owing partly to the seasons and partly to the state of Europe. Agriculture, during the same period, has im- proved. More grain, particularly wheat, has L-eeii growl) than was tisiitt. The landlords seeing the tenants thrive, have been induced to demand higher rents, and the tenants have agreed to give them, not foreseeing or calculating on a change of circumstances. The present low price seems to demonstrate, that in the present and two preceding years more grain has.been raised than the consumption of the country required, for if there were consump- tion nearly equal to (he quantity on hand, the farmer Would not sell under the rate at which importation is allowed. Ouring-tjie last year there was a considerable importation of foreign grain upon a speculation this wlit probably prove ruinous to the importer, hut that cannot have had much effect on the prices. Persons of intelligence, and avowedly hostile to importation, say, that the quantity importcrlhas in no year exceeded the l-35th part of our consumption. The agriculture of Ireland is said to have greatly improved of late, and the quantify of corn raised there is reported to he greater than for- merly, and more than the consumption of Ire- land requires, It must have found its vent in Great Britain and it is said that the Irish far- mer can afford to undersell the British. If it be so, the Eritish landholder and the falmer ought to on its continuance, for we have no right to impose restraints on Irish commerce in our own favour. When the rate of the selling price of our own ,grain at which importation should be allowed, was raised hv the Act of last Sessions, it was alleged in justification of the measure, that this country did not in general raise enough for its own,consumption, and that if importation was prohibited till the prices liere attained a certain lieight it would encourage agriculture, the rate -fore P .5 was therefore fixed at 84s. the English quarter of wheal. The regulation has had no effect hitherto. It can only lvive effect in favour of the farmer, when the produce of successive years is considerably under the.average. It is then injurious to the public, as enabling the farmer, at a limel when the community is suffering, to obtain more than his reasonable profits. It is at the same time evident, thy; if the benefit were constant and uniform, it would go to the landlord and not to the farmer, whose rent would be proportionally increased. But the present distress of the farmer is not attributable to the state-of the corn laws. It can be attributable only to the taxes and increased expense and to the rents being too high. The gain pf, the who took leases seve. ral yearif ago,' without, calculating on increased taxes and eXpences, must he lessened very COil siderably. In future the tenant, in estimating what rent lie can alfor(I to pay, will calculate on all the necessary expeuces, and on the taxes also, if permanent, just as he does n'specting- tytheq and poor rates. The increased expences of farming, a id the taxes imposed directly on (he farmer roust therefore ultimately fall on the landlord. landlord. I The landlord will find himself obliged to lower his rents, and he ought to do so in justice. The extent to which (hey ought to be lowered now, extent to which they ought to be lowered now, supposing the rent to be a fair one at the time ií w;r. seems to be the increased expencc of farming-and Ihe laxes. At present the land- lord is making the tenant pay what he ought to pay himself, and when his income is thus .lower- ed, he h,is no more right to complain than any manufacturer or annuitant in the kingdom has for what the owner of land has a just title to expect from (lis estate under lease, is no more than a proportion of the farmer's profits, after allowing to the farmer all his necessary expences, an adequate return for his capital, and enough for him and his family to live upon comfortably. If things are let alone they will find their own level. If the present low prices continue, less corn will be grown, and the value of what is grown will he increased. The land in use to be j in corn will be turned to other purposes. But on the whole if seems to he evident, that utiles* I' the public burdens are considerably decreased, of which there is little prospect, or unless there occur a scarcity unfortunate for the community j at large, and the Legislature, to favour the land- holders, prohibits the remedy, the rents and the value and current price of land must fall very much.
