The Market looks very heavy, even at the above reduced price. The alarm in the country is greater than in London, and the orders for the sale of stock continue to an unprecedented amount.— Settling day will be on the 28th ; and from the great flectuatien in price during this Account, many failures are anticipated. The report that this country means to subsidise Austria in the approaching con test with Naples, in addition to our own domestic differences, has materially added to the depression ; nn! bets have been made this day on 'Change, that Coascls %sill be done at 65 for the Account, on or beilm: this day month. The House of Lords met yesterday, pursuant to adjournment. ' The most remarkable occurrence of the evening was a volunteer declaration made by the Duke of Ltitartn, respecting the proceedings against the QUEER. His Grace, who had just taken the oaths, stated, that in the present agitated state of the Coun try, he felt it to be his duty to take the earliest pos sible opportunity of declaring, that he would oppose, in every stage, the of Pains and Penalties against her tiniwry, considering, as he did, all Bills of this nature as acts of violence and injustice. No observa tion was made by the Ministers in the House, or by any of their friends, on this impressive declaration. The Second Report of the Committee of Prece dents was brought up, and read by the Earl of SHAFTESBURY ; and, agreeably to a recommendation contained in it, an Address was voted to his MAJESTY, to order the attendance of the Guards, as is usual in cases of impeachment. The care of his MAJEsrt's Ministers, however, had led them to anticipate this ♦ote; for soldiers were, at the moment of passing it, stationed round the Houses of Parliament. We were given to understand, that during the course of the proceedings the Civil Power was to be alone entrusted with the preservation of order, and the securing a free approach to Parliament. This information gave us great' pfeastire ; for, whatever may be the feelings of the People with respect to the nature of the proceedings, we are convinced that their feelings will not lead them to attempt any Measures of violence. However general the regret . that Parliament should act in the double character of Legislators and Judges; in a case in which so mach suspicion will naturally attach to their motives, and however dangerous the. precedent which may thereby be set, we have uo hears that their authority will be resisted. The Peers have been all summoned to attend in their respective places to-morrow, and from day to day during the continuance of the trial. Several Fees have claimed the privilege of absenting them selves, on account of year—" It is the first time," said Lord C. " that I have discovered the benefits, of old age !" We were yesterday favoured with a file of Buenos 1 /lyres Papers, and various written particulars relating to the events passing there, 'received by the lastarrival; and reaching up to the end of May. Great confusion still prevailed, and the political turmoils had been so great, and so immediately affected every one who, daring the course of the Revolution, had taken the lead in civil or military affairs, that it was impossible to find any individual of any note, possessing a sufw ficiency of public confidence, to take charge of the a d m i n i s tration of affairs. In this emergency, a mem ber of the Municipality had been elected Governor, and hp reta i n ed his place at the end of May. The Pipers, embracing the occurrences of the months Of !larch, April; and May, besides dm details of the first operations and negotiations with the Federal troops from the interior, which had entered the Ca pital in triumph, give an account of the nsprpations Of ALVEAR, therein styled the American C4rd,Thre, and the disputes between the Governor (Snanvrga) gnd the cabildO, or Municipaßty, ending with those ( • • It ;.'t .4a r • 6lrtincidia ti) di& afeitml °tat MMus dopy 740 ( tr i Ontinuatioti orthelotumeuts ni4 • . fume Om Jcpq e Cons, relating tti tbS 'traumatism , foe placing a Besision Prince on the Throne of Buenos Ayres, and the various intrigues with the PortugueSe l Cabinet,' of which the first part has already been published in this country. These documents more particularly relate to the Treaty made between the Brazil Government and Buenos Ayres, in the shape of sixteen additional Articles tol the Armistice signed in 1812, hitherto kept most' profoundly secret, of which the following are the' principal clauses: g. Hit Faithful Majesty declares afresh, that his present or future occupation of military points on the northern bank of the River Parana, in pursuit of, Amigo, has no other object than his own security and preservation, and that from similar acts be does sot pretend to deduce any tight of dominion, perpetual pos session, and much less conquest; but that when the above motive ceases, he wig proceed by a friendly transaction with the then existing Authority in Buenos Ayres, en tole put of the United Provinces, to treat of the terms on which he is to abandon the occupation of the same, and enter into the conventions deemed mutually necessary and useful for the future permanent tren quillity of both neighbouring States. S. The subjects of both States shall be allowed free access into and egress from the territory of each, the same as persons be.. longing to any other neutral country. 10. It is agreed that the war and merchant vessels of loth States shall freely aster into the ports of each, but as the prohi bition of foreign veils* from entering' and ascending inferior rivers Is general to all foreigners, the same AO extend ts► the Portuguese, unlesiis pursuit of the partisans of Artigar... 15. Both contracting panics bind themaelves to observe the most profound secrecy respecting the articles thus agreed en, the publication or divulging of which should not be deemed advis able. Wherefore, vrhen, notwithstanding all the peeeendons adopted by the said Provinces, any of the private articles should be divulged, the Government of the aid Provinces binds lea 1f to Colltridict the existence of cad articles, pledging isa dignity thereto if it should be necessary. Artieh 1. The Gouenunente of the United Provinces will immediately set at liberty all the Portuguese subjects, who, by virtue of the Proclamation published in Buenos Apes on the .2d March, had been removed to the depot of Luj,in, and raise the embargo that may have been laid on Portuguese property, of whatsoever denomination it may be. 3. The Government of the United Provinces obliges itself immediately to withdraw all the troops, with their respective stores, which might have been sent to aid Artigas, or his par tizans, and in future not to furnWillin with any aid : and lastly, not to admit the said Chief, a his armed pattisans, into the territory of the Western Bank, belonging to the State. And if it should happen that they enter by force, and there should be no means of quickly expelling them, the said Government of the Provinces may solicit the cooperation of the Portuguese troops for this purpose, which shall be granted in the proportion of one ihird of the troops furnished. by said Provinces, and the same shall act =JCS the coinmAnd of the Chief named by the latter. 4. The said Government also• binds itself to indemnify, in, conformity to tile naval regulations, for the injury done to all Portuguese vessels, proved to have been captfred from the 24th May, 1812, till the present time, by peivateets authorised with commissions issued by tie said Government, or by its vessels of war; his Faithful Majesty being bound to do the sante in a re. ciprocal manner, and the most peremptory orders shall be is sued, to the cruizers belonging to both States, in order to pro. vent the cant innation of simikr acts of hostility, respecting which both Governments shall mutually receive due information. 5. The said Armistice shall continue In full force and signor, as well on the part of his Faithful Majesty as on that of the Go. vernrnent of the Provinces of the River Plats. 6. In order to prevent mistakes and difficulties in the opera. Bons of the troops of his Faithful Majesty, it is agreed that they shall be allowed to go in pursuit of Artigas and his partisans as far as the left bank of the Uruguay, vice. 7. Both Governments bind themselves, during this Armistice, not to make or allow any attempt that directly or indirectly may injure the tranquillity of the inhabitants eccupyteg the territory contained within the lines pointed out by the above Article. a. In reciprocity of the third article, to which the Govern ment of the United Provinces binds itself, Ms Faithful Ma- 1 jesty, on his part, engages not to undertake any alliance against them, not to afford ammunition, provisions, or any other kind of aid, to their enemies, and even net to allow them a passage through, or a port in his dominions, or in any territory occu pied by his troops. 11. In ease, unfortunately, hostilities shOuld be renewed be tween the contracting patties, it is agreed that the breaking of the subsisting armistice shall be officially notified six months previous, and only at the expiration of this period shall hostilities recommence. It is also agreed, that during the period of the said mix months, the subjects of each party who may be within the territory of the ether, shall be allowed either to remain there, if their conduct does not render them suspicions, or withdraw freely, together with all their property and capitols is. With regard to criminal poloist deserters, end fugitive slams, proceedings shall be instituted by both Governments, according to the general rights of nations, and priciises received among civilised and neutral States. 13. It is declared that the agreements of the present Articles shall have the same effect as a solemn Treaty of Peace. 14. Although the conduct of Ms Faithful Majesty, although just and legal. Is considered opposed es the present exigencies in which his Catholic Majesty is placed, which might bring about a rupture, it is agreed in this case by both Governments, that there shall be between them an eventual and defensive alliance, which shall be published jointly, with tie solemn acknowledg ment of the Independence of the United . Provincet of the aim Plate by his mast Faithful Majesty, the moment the aforesaid occumice shall take place. _ • 16. The present ;Wilde:nal and secret articles shall tav, tios same force and vigour as if - they were inserted word for word in the said Act, by which an armistice was concluded on the 26th of May, 1815. (Here follow the Signatures]. The above is the order in which the Articles of the said Treaty were discussed in the Secret Sitting of the 10th of December, 1817, and entered on the Journals of the Congress, with the debates which took place on the occasion, thus constituting the Treaty in a complete form, now existing between . the Portuguese Government and Buenos Ayres, and which has been so logg kept secret. On a cgrefui examination, it will be found in direct bostßity to Spain, so pointed are some of the chips*; tial we make no doubt this interference on the part of Por tugal is at present one of the chief points of differ , cute still caisting between the c.ihincts of Madrid ~ /. ~~ r. t 4 -' . . . _ Oltbielkojnore than' . anee 7 1:ag nearly. lbstwo coil:Met to an open rupture. 1 1 ,ILNA . km) Holland , has brodght Papers to the lib instant. It appears from them that the-birth day of kis Prussian MAJISTY (the Sd instant), though not distinguished, as had been expected, by the pro mulgation of a Repretentative Constitution, was ce lebrated at Berlin with the 'usual demonstrations of loyal affection by all classes of inhabitants. On the subject of the recent failures at Copenhagen, an ar ticle from that Capital of the 30th alt. says—" Four of our greatest mercantile houses have been obliged, within these few days, to .stop payment. The in fluence of their insolvency is very embarrassing to trade, and will severely affect many houses of less importance: it is feared that the effects will be very seriously felt at Hamburgh. As the cause of those misfortunes the following are mentioned :—The failure of almost every enterprise to the East and West Indies, the fluctuations in the course of ex. change, the sudden withdrawing of capitals which were formerly advanced to the Merchants, and are now placed for the payment of interest on cash in the National Bank. Someof those houses will doubt less be able to come to an honourable arrangement ;. but, nevertheless, may of the oldest and most re spected families are reduced to 'great distress by these events." - Norfolk Papers arrived this morning to the 20th July. The following are extracts: NORFOLK, JULY 19. Captain La Fart, of the schooner Jane, states, that daring his stay at St. Thomas's, there came in a Bri tish /hip of the line, commanded by a Rear-Admiral, a frigate, and a man of war urig, a French frigate, and a French man of war brig, all reported to be crnizing for pirates and slave-vessels. The French frigate Duchess d'Angouleme, off St. Bartholcmieves, captured two piratical schooners. The crews, toge ther with the Captains and Officers, made their escape, by jumping overboard and swimming ashore. The frigate proceeded to Martinique with her prizes.

This morning it brilliant sight presented itself in the offing--seven ships of size and two cutters, 141 under fall sail before the wind, and corning ffori the westward. The morning being fine, the cliffs and the shore were, in a short time, covered with the gay and fashionable visitants of the place, and crowds of the inhabitants. The vessels, as they ap proached; were soon recognized to be e three ez acted•ltogral yachts, viz. the loyal Sovereign, t's.e Royal George,. and he Prince 'Regent ; the Ltirrzy frigate, the HIND sloop of war, and two brigs war, one of which is the CANlrulox accomPanied by a cutter. They got to anchor in the bay ttglviet'l eleven and twelve o'clock. In the meantime nume rous boats, crowded with the curious and inquisitive, ..tiad set off to meet them ; and, indeed, for the velic). l .e day, the beats have been kept in requisition, fresh parties setting out as soon as any of them had landed their previous cargoes. Their stay, however, has been but short. Towards evening they all got under weir:;, and proceeded to the South West, and by nightfal were all cut of sight. This is attributed to some chanFe.in the KING'S intention to proceed to the rf R ight, &c. His MAJESTY was expected to L-..• here to-morrow or Thursday, but when he will ar rive is now quite uncertain. His MAJESTY has given up his intention of a sea ercursion. Perhaps there never was a volume published -co truly British, and so adapted to the affections and taste of the nation, as Captain Pnion's Account All the Voyages round the World, from the first Magellan, to the latter ones of Cooke, Vaneouve; Perouse, Turnbull, Krusenstem, icc. To every ship's cabin, as well as every Englishman's fire-side, it constitute an inexhaustible fund of entertainmert and instruction. A letter from Antwerp, dated the I Ith, has 0-e following passage:—" CemanG arrived here yesterday in an Admiralty yacht: some say he i f , going into Italy to seek his wife, and bring her t 3 England ; ethers say that the affair of the QUEEN is the cause of this Continental trip; at all events it is not usual to steer to Italy up the mouth of the Scheldt ; but you know the old saying, • Every road leads to Rome." Among the strangers yesterday below the Bar .he House Of Lords, were, Messrs. BIIOUGHAM, Deg- WAN. WILLIAM, TYNDAL, and Dr.. IeIISHINGTOr. They were led in by Sir TaoMAS Trawutrz, to see the preparations made for the trial. Exactly before the middle of the Bar the witness is to stand, with the interpreter and the shorthand writer on either .side of him. The space in which the three are to be . statioued is railed on both sides. Beyond the rail c the right side is a space for her Majesty's Counsel. By the present arrangement. her *Majesty's Counsel addressing a witness could have only n side view ei him, and accordingly Mr. BROUGHAM suggested, 01:3 it would be necessary to affix some sort of rail at the back of the Bar, which would keep the witness El f.tr backward • as• to enable the examining CounA to have a full view of his person. The suggr:- dons will be forthwith carried into execution.— Inside the bar, immediately beneath the Apt where the Queen's Counsel are to stand, is a stikeli seat for her INl‘Jearr. Sir THOMAS TSIMMITT attntigned to Mr. BitOVOSIAM, that a chair Amishd be placed near this seat for one of her MAJASTeSI4dies. He intimated that her. Murales wishes, as to any fur ther arrangement for her aceorsodation, would re. !five instant attenticks:,- During last night and time early part of this morn. ing, the neighbourhood of Northampton was visited with a very heavy storm of rain, tb underi and lightning. NOVELTY IN RILIURRICTIONABIC Secitaroz.--At Frankenthal, near Manbeim, a piece-of ground has jilt been granted to the Je ws ,for a burial ground.
