CORFU, JUNE 21. rsommeksilos NT MS NBOIDDISS Tee eslinoese AND VIZ SWAIM Or MI (MUD STATES Or lONIAN ISLANDS. His Excellency the Lord Nigh Commissioner of his Majesft,""theSttprerne Protector ' has, by a Note. dated this day, communicated to the Senate a printed Docu ment drawn up in the form of a Proclamation or De cree, superscribed'" The Provinciil Government of Greece, dated from 1 1 Argos, 27th April, 1824," and signed by several individuals who appear to be invested with a public or official character, in which document, besides the notice that a Loan has been contracted, and that the proceeds are to be employed in military opera tions, there is the following Article—" The money shall remain deposited in Zante or.Cerigo.'t The Government of these States cannot for a moment allow a declaration of this kind to, remain unnoticed, from whatever foreign Power or authority it may come. —lt can never acknowledge by its silence that any foreign authority is entitled or shall presume to dispose of any part of its territory for any purpose whatever, without the knowledge and consent of the lonian Go vernment, and still less can it suffer an act to pass unno• ticed and unreproved when it implies a positive violation of the principles maintained by the lonian Government. The lonian Government has repeatedly, and even very lately, declared its neutrality in the war which is carry ing on upon the neighbouring continent and in the islands of the Archipeago, and it would be a direct violation of that neutrality to allow its territory to be used as a depot for money or warlike stores by either of the con tending patties. The Government of these States therefore ordain as follows : " Art. I. Neither the island of Zante nor Cerigo, nor other places belonging to the territory of the lonian islands, shall serve as a depositary for the above Loan. " 2. If after this declaration one or more persons should allow such a loan to be deposited with them, they shall, if subjects of the lonian States, be liable to all the penalties pronounced by the existing laws and ordinances against the violation of neutrality ; and if they ate foreigners, to the penalty threatened by the Proclamation of the 13th April, 1824, (i.e. banishment front the lonian Islarick.) "3. The present Proclamation shall be printed in the English, Greek, and Italian langua&es ; published, and referred for execution to the respective Authorities. " By command of the Senate, " PONSONRY, 41 Secretary of the Senate for the General Department. Corfu, 19th June, 1924." The Decree to which the preceding Proclamation re fers is as follows: " Considering that the Legislative Body has resolved to contract a Loan for four millions of Spanish dollars (800,000/. sterling), and as part of this Loan, contracted in London, has already arrived at Zante ; considering that, under the present circumstances, it is highly ne cessary to take all possible measures that the money may be properly applied, as the contrary would be at tended with the worst consequences, the Legislative Body decrees ac follows : 1. Not a shilling of the said money shall be employed to cover former expenses or accounts of whatsoever nature they may be. 64 2. The amount of the Loan is exclusively dedicated to the ad vancement of the nation, and shall he employed with the strictest economy, partly for other future wants of the State. " S. the nu;ney shall remain in depot in Ziinte or Cerign. " 4. Tbe Committee, which received its appointment from Lon don, shall make the payments according as the Government dispose, reeei•in` each time a certificate, signed by the President of the Irgislative Body, accompanied by the protocol of the Sitting, which certificate the Executive Council shall give through the 3.1k1 ulster of Finance. "S. This law shall be inviolably observed, both according to its letter arid spirit, till the whole Loan shall be disposed of. " The President of the Executive Council, " Argos,27th April, 189.1. " GEORGE CON DU It I OTT l." A private letter from Zante, of the 28th of June, gives the following extract from one of the 6th of the same mouth, dated from Ttipolitza, and written by a M .Melo!topolo, to his brother at Zante: "This evening at eight o'clock, we shall leave this place, in company as ith Mr. Andreas Zaimis, one of the Members of the Executive Body, and other persotis sent by Colocotroni to the Government, and the bearers of letters from him to his son, desiring him to deliver up the fortress of Napoli di Romania to the Government Colocottoni and Pietro Bey will, in the course of a few days, sub mit to the Government, and receive a pardon." We have (continues the letter from Zante) received other letters and information, which tend to confirm the above. The Little Sally is arrived here with specie from Lon don, and the same measures have been adopted with respect to her as with the Florida, namely, the money has been disembarked, and instructions are expected from London before it is in any manner disposed of. STOCK RXCHANGR, TWRLVE O'CLOCK. Consols opened this morning at 921, 1, agd soon afterwards rose to 921, 1, with a brisk Market ; but within this half-lisur, they have again lowered to 921, 1, for the Account. The Express from Paris brings the French Rentes of Wednes day, after 'Change, at 98f. 85c. HALF-PAST TWELVE O'CLOCK. The lowerisg of Consols is entirely owing to some heavy sales being made, in anticipation that the French Rentes will fall, when the intelligence of the prices of our Stocks on Monday and Tues day is known in Paris.

The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordonnance, dated the 18th of July, at St. Cloud, indemnifying the Duke of ORLEANS for his giving to the City of Paris his rights and privileges on the —River and ~~ .r .r : , 4 • A' CM' d'Ourcq. which were valued at 000,000 Francs.' The indemnity is in certain houses in the Rue St. Ho nore, adjoining the Palais Royale, which, with the three arcades of the Palais Royale itself, are confirmed to the Duke and his heirs for ever : the reversion, in de fault of male issue, to be to the Crown. Tuesday, the KING, who continues at St. Cloud, gave audience to the Chancellor ; and received a de putation of the Chamber of Peers, who presented five Projects of Law, which the Chamber had adopted on the preceding day. His MAJESTY afterwards rode out. The proceedings in the Chamber of Peers are of no in terest ; and those in the Deputies are still confined to the Budget, which Ministers are, notwithstanding the opposition made to it, carrying successfully. In the lower Chamber, the influence of M. de VILLELE is undiminished. The Echo du Midi states, that the Commission esta blished at Toulouse for the purpose of investigating the accounts relative to the Army in Spain, had termi nated their labours, so far as relates to the year 1823, and had proceeded to Bayonne to examine the accounts for the year 1824. The Gazette of the Two Sicilies states, that the Police of Naples has been reorganized ; and that the Archdu chess MARIA LOUISA, after visiting everything worth seeing in that capital, had embarked for Pale( mo. The intelligence from Madrid in the Ft ench Papers is to the Bth instant. Intelligence had been received of the KING and QUEEN'S arrival at Cuenca. It appears, though for what reason is not stated, that the Royal route was unexpectedly changed. The KING will re turn to Madrid at the end of the month, and afterwards repair to St. Ildefonso with the Royal Family. It appears, from the Madrid article in the Monitear, that. the Spanish Government exercises it authority with some vigour, in order, it is said, to secure tranquillity and the empire of the laws, and in this it is assisted b y the French forces. At Tarrazona and Borja, in Arr agon, some Royalist Volunteers had committed such excesses that it became necessary to send a part of the French garrison at Saragossa to both places. They disarmed the volunteers, and seizing the Chiefs, conducted them to the prisons of Saragossa. The Etoile contains intelligence respecting the war in Peru, which would be highly important if it did not come from Madrid, where every kind of imposture is daily practised and fabricated. It represents BOLIVAR to have lost half his army in a great battle; and to have been compelled to re-enter the Colombian terri tory. No . dates, however, au given ; and the whole has the appearance of a deliberatZfatiication. The follow ing are extracts: • FROM THE JOURNAL DES DEBATS. PARIS, eugy M. Ravez, Prfsident of the Chamber of Deputies. paid a visit yesterday to Pozzo di Borgo, which lasted , an hour. Yesterday evening, at nine o'clock, Count Pozzo di Burg, Baron Vincent, the Austrian Ambassador, and the Minister of Prussia, had a conference with Count de Villele, President of the Council of Ministers, which lasted two hours and a quarter. Accounts from Versailles state, that the 3d Battalion of the 7th Regiment of the Royal Guard had returned from Madrid, and the 3d Battalion of the Bth Regiment was expected soon. FROM TILE JOURNAL DU CONINIERCE. Count Villele transacted business with his Nl.tjesty. The king went out at two o'clock. ‘Nre have letters from Madrid of the 14. th instant. M. de Oubril, Russian Minister, artived on the 10th; it appears he brings instructions which will establish harmony between all the Pot eign Ambassadors; and settle the important question in regard to the situa tion of Spain. Count Ofalia is exiled to Almeira.— It was expected that the Minister of War and Minister of Finance would be displaced. M. Cardenas de Santa Cruz, Colonel in the service of his Catholic Majesty, arrived yesterday, as courier, at Bourdeaux ; he immediately had an interview with the Spanish Ambassador, after which he set off for Paris It is said he is the bearer of important dispatches: but the Memorial Bordelais states, the following day, that Colonel Cardenas did not bring any dispatches. This morning we received Datch Papers to the 21st. They notice the breaking up of the Contess at Johan nisberg, as Prince Ale•rr•ettNtcu and his diplomatic visitors are called. It would seem by these Papers, that General GUILLEMINOT, the new Ambassador to the Ottoman Porte, unlike Frenchmen in general, thinks to support the dignity of his station by his neglect of the usual courtesies and civilities of life. The accounts, from Switzerland exhibit a melancholy picture of reli gious fanaticism. The following are extracts . • FRANKFORT, JULY 16. The Congress at Johanniaberg has broken up. M. de TataAbell, the Russian Minister at Vienna, arrived here to-day. To-morrow we expect Pi ince Metternich, who will stop two days. The first day he dines with M. Rothschild, the second with the President of the Diet. We have nothing particular from the Levant, except that the accounts from Constantinople of the 13th, mention the arrival of General Guilleminot, the French Ambassador, with a suite of thirty-three persons, among whom is a Mainote, of the name of Spefaropola. This Embassy draws great attention in Pera, which is pro bably occasioned by the unusual behaviour of the Ge neral to the several diplomatic characters, to whom he has merely sent his card, and his haughty manner in general. Some persons already fancy he will do some thing in favour of the Greeks, but this is not probable. His negotiations in this field, which is not very pro pitious to European Diplomacy, may perhaps be faci litated by the personal acquaintance of the Grand Visir, . , Ghalib Pitcha, whom he met with in 1867, at the con clusion of the armistice of Sloboje,betvreen the aussiansl and the Turks. This is probably the reason that, Ghalib Pacha immediately sent a Dragoman of the Porte to compliment him, to whom the presents from the King of France to the Sultan were delivered. It is not, however, to be expected, that France will now re cover that influence in the East which it possessed pre vious to the year 1816. Private letters from Constantinople, of the 11th June, speak of a landing effected by the Captain Pacha in Negropont, on which occasion the Greeks, who volun tarily submitted, are said to have been massacred after they had laid down their arms. The Consular reports, however, make no mention of it. GENEVA, JULY s. Our lunatic asylum and our hospitals are filled with unhappy persons of both sexes, whom religious fanati cism has deprived of their reason. Of late years we have had to deplore several suicides, proceeding from this species of ma,iness, which the faculty, from con stant experience,consider as the most difficult to be cured. HAGUE, JULY 19. The extraordinary heat of last Wednesday, the 14th, was succeeded early in the morning of Thursday, the 15th, by a storm, which, according to the accounts we have received, extended over the whole province of Holland, over Utrecht, and some neighbouring places, accompanied for the most part with whirlwinds, light ning, torrents of rain, and in some places hail. In the environs of this town, and more to the south, this storm did only trifling damage; but more to the north, as about Haarlem, the hail broke the glass of' almost all the windows looking to the west, and did infinite mischief to the green and hot-houses, and to the standing corn. A public-house at the Helder was struck by the lightning, but not much damaged. By the Caroline, arrived at Liverpool, letters have been received from Maranham, dated the 10th of June. They state that political commotions had again broken out in that place. The Members of the Civil Govern ment had been arrested by the Governor at Arms, with the intention► of shipping them off for Rio. A re•action, however, took place on the night cf the 4th of June: the Nlembers of the Government were released, and the Governor, who had seized them, was obliged to ab , cond. The disturbance was chiefly confined to the barracks. During the commotion, some blood, we regret to state, was shed, and the brother of the General assassinated. When the Caroline sailed, tranquillity was restored to the city ; but the peaceably disposed did not seem to consider the danger over. We understand that another attachment was yester day laid upon the monies raised for the Colombian Go vernment in the hands of the Contractors. This attach meat differs from the former, inasmuch as the indivi duals constituting the Government are now sued, in stead of the " Government of Colombia"—no such Go vetnment, or any other of the Sonth American States, being recognised in our Courts of Law. It is now con tended that the individuals above alluded to are respon sible like any other individuals for contracts entered into by them, or by their agents duly authorised. It is as serted thaQebts to a large amount have been incurred by such agents; and the question will speedily be de termined as to the liability of the individuals sued. We understand that the patties included in the process, are SIMON BOLIVAR, F. P. SANTANDER, JOSE M. STRABO, GUAL, D. 13. URBANEGO, J. M. CASTELLO, and P. IL MENDEZ. The claim is made b)• Mr. WALTON, who, we believe, was for some years agent for Colombia in England. It has already been stated, that the King of Port 'FUGAL has consented to appoint a Plenipotentiary to meet those commissioned by his son, the Emperor of Bream, in order to enter into negotiations for the in dependence of that country in London. The Commis sioners on the part of Brazil are, General BRANT and Chevalier de Gaarr.trto; and on that of Portugal, the, Marquis de VILLA REAL, the Portuguese Ambassador at our Court. These Commissioners are understcod to have met some days ago, and their respective powers having been exchanged, a question of etiquette arose as to the place in la llich the conferences were to be held, when, in order to avoid all jealousies which might arise from the circumstance of the house of either party being preferred, an apartment in the Fort ign Office was allotted to them, where, we under-, stand, meetings take place nearly every day in the week. Great interest seems to be taken in the pro ceedings by the Austrian Secretary of Embassy, and also by Prince Esreftuazv himself, since his return from Vienna. This circumstance, together with the juxtaposition of the meetings to the Ministe►ial offices, has led to the belief that the discussions are conducted under Austrian and English'influence, and has excited very strong hopes that they will terminate favourably. The leading and material questions which may arise, in all probability, are to be submitted to the chief Euro pean Powers, in order that all cause of jealousy may be avoided. His Royal flightless the Doke of YORK honoured Mr. Secretary and Mrs. CANNING with his company to dinner yes terday, at Gloucester Lodge. There were present to meet his Royal Highness—the Prince Leopold, the Duke of .Wellington, Lord Hertford, Lord and Lady Harrowby, Lord Palmerston, Mr. and Mits. Peel, Sir Herbert and Lady Taylor, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lady Sarah Robinson, th e Ladies Ryder, &c.

Monday, at three o'clock, this line Regiment was reviewed on the Fifteen Acres, Dublin, by Lord Commune', General Caere; &c. It was a most imposing display of military tactics. After the inspection of the Regiment, they advanced in squadrons, and thus passed before Lord COMITIMESZ; they also passed in sinEle files, and reforming, passed in a canter three deep. A most scientific display of the lance exercise was next given. The Regiment was then ordered to go through the improved sword exercise, which they accomplished with the like precision. They then went through various evolutions, and finally the movements in echellon were par. ticularly worthy of eulogy; nothing could possibly exceed the st.a. dines, of the men, or the cool and unembarrassed direction. of their Commander. The national air of God save the ring termin.ted this most gratifying review. The 12th Lancers are under orders to embark from Irelar ! Brighton. _ _ lieutenant-Colonel LEwls, of the Plymouth division of Marines, is appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Bermuda. 11.., ur &GLIM and First Lieutenant CHARIRS MORGAN, of that accompany him—the latter as Adjutant of the Bermuda div;th,n.

The Libraries are nightly filled with fashion and beauty ; and the singers at fully maintain their popularity. The town is increasing in gaiety every day, and all things pro. mise a gay and prosperous season. The " note of preparation" has been accordingly heard among our townspeople, and we are sure they will not be disappointed : there is at present much more corn. patty here than is usual in the month of July. Many families have arrived within these few days, and continue daily to an ive for the !laces. The Duke and Duchess of lltenstom, and Duke and Duchess of ARGYLL. are expected un Monday next. Prince LEOPOLD arrive.] at 'Marlborough House yes terday Afternoon, from Claremont. The young Greek, adopted by Lord BYRON, is now at Lord flaaarnarrnes, and crowds of the Nobility and Gentry are daily in the habit of visiting him. Ills temper seems violent, and can only be tamed by depriving him of his dress, of which he appears to be inordinately proud. The marriage of the Austrian Archduke FRANCIS rif•Rtgs with the Princess FREORNIICA SOPHIA DOROTHEA, will take place in September next, at Vienna. There is actually a diffe.ellce of one-thir..! in the price of the same description of bread sold at different bakers' shops in the metropolis. The town of Folkestone, has. after many applications to the Treasury, obtained from their Lordships the privilege of having a clearing office. Saturday the silver bowl given by the Royal Corn early of Archers, King's Body Guard, was shot for and gained by NAPIER., Esq W. S. The Belfast chronicle gives the particulars of a plan for a Bank in that city, to be called the Ulster Joint Stock Bank, with a capital of £500,000, in shares of £lOO. The business is to be conducted on the principle of the Scotch Banks. PUBLIC PRESS OF ITALY.—One newspaper is pub lished at each of the following places :—Venice, Milan, Genoa, Bo logna, 'Rome ' Naples; less extensive papers at Fuligno, Modena, and in some other places. A newspaper, in Italian, is printed at Lugano, in the Italian bailiwicks of Switzerland, and circulates iu different parts of Italy. The Duke of GLOUCESTER is now at Cheltenham ; he arrived there on Tuesday, and his Royal Ilighness is expected to make a considerable stay there.

In 1`294, when twelve Ambassadors tom different Courts came to Rome to congratulate BONITACI VIII. the astonished to find that they were all Florentines, exclaimed, " rence is the first city in the world, and the Florentines the ref fifth element, the quintessence of mankind!" At the late West Kent Quarter Sessions, in the of an indictment against the parish of Frindsbury, for not repairing a road, there were nine witnesses, whose united ages amounted • siz hundred and forty years. They were all in gond health, the oldest of them, who is in his ninetieth year, is able to walk teen miles a day. The iron trade has recently assumed an uncomi briskness—in consequence of which the manufacturers in Wales and Yorkshire have advanced the price pound per ton. This difference produces to the hou: of a wo.thf City Alderman an additional eighteen thou sand pounds a-year profit at least. A TURF BULL—The Mayor of an English City " put forth an advertisement previous to the races' , no Gentleman will be allowed to ride on the Cow erupt the horses that are to run !“ New FEMALE PENITENTIARY, Wednesday aft. noon, a numerous meeting of land and householders the vicinity of Clerkenweil and Islington was hell' St. James's Church, Clerkenwell, to take into cons! ration the conduct of the County Magistrates in upon a piece of their own ground to build a Peni tiny fur female delinquents. Various speeches wi made on the occasion, purporting that if the Cout Magistrates persisted in building a prison on the grow pointed out, the whole of the houses erected in the nity for some years back would become of little or value; and that a direct communication, so rat. wanted between that part of the town and Brunswit and Russell-squares, would be for ever prevented. veral Resolutions were moved, and it was determi to apply to the Magistrates at Quarter Sessions to further proceedings with this female prison. Letters from Gibraltar, dated the Ist instant, state, from the reports of the harvest being very bad in Spain. several cargoes of grain, from the ports in the Mediter• ranean had arrived, and completely glutted the market, which had caused the paces to fall from 10s. to' per quarter, and several of the cargoes would be warded on to some of the ports in Spain, from there being no room in the garrison fur the cargoes that had arrived. Tuesday the Allerton arrived at Liverpool, fr Kingston, Jamaica. The papers brought by this veyance are to the Ist of June; but they do not contain a word of news.
