The daily incteasing probability of a war between Russia and Tui key has produced an unfavourable impression on our Funds. Thipaccounts received from the Continent on Saturday and to-day are sup posed to reader this event so certain that there has been altogether a depression of 13 from the prices of Friday, when Consols were at 771.. Amo3B other reports circulated on 'Change, it is said that our Government has sent a remonstrance to the Russian Court on the subject of its relations with Turkey. If it as sent any communication on the subject, we should rather think it must have been an offer of mediation. We do not see on what grounds it could remonstrate. Russia has so well managed matters, that it is she and not Turkey who has the appearance of being the aggrieved party. A wished frt. crisis was never, perhaps, more adroitly brought about. JUL The Paris Papers of Thursday arrived last night They contain nothing worthy of notice, except the following apparently authentic intelligence respect ing the dispersion of YPSILANTI's corps of insurgents VIENNA, JULY 8. Prince YOlanti, at the head of 5000 men, whom lie had }:,reac. uilficulty in assembling, set out on the 16th of June. for Dragachan, Without any settled Om of operations. He passed the first night at Okna, and his advanced guard, commanded by Captain Jordaki, on the 19th encountered a Turkish detach ment about 1,000 strong. Jordaki instantly com menced an attack, which ended almost as soon as it was begun, for his Bulgarians took to flight, the Pan dours refused to act, and he was left alone with 60 Albanians on the field of battle. The troops of Jor daki were soon routed, and Ypsilanti himself was compelled to draw towards Rimnick, with the loss of his artillery. Captain Jordaki afterwards rallied, and Ypsilanti was enabled to reach Kosia, where he shut himself' up in a convent with some faithful soldiers, and has not since made Isis appeararice. The countries which are the theatre of these actions are represented, by all accounts, as being in a state of the greatest distress. Military rapine everywhere prevails, and on the whole route from Buchare t to the defile of Tcemes, not a vestige of a house is to be discovered. The inhabitants have everywhere disap peared, and the fields of Wallachia are almost en tirely without cultivation. French Five per Cents. Wednesday, 85 1. 60c. The Paris Papers of Friday arrived this forenoon.— A Grand Council is stated to have been held at Vi enna, at which the ENtPEttoa presided, respecting the affairs of Turkey, and the relations between Russia and the Porte. The result of these deliberations, has been an order for augmenting the Austrian troops on the Turkish frontiers to the number of 60,000 men.— The offer of mediation between Russia and the Porte is also said to have been renewed. The siege of Ja- Bina is alleged, for the twentieth time, to have been raised. French 5 per Cents. Thursday, 85fr. 80c. A Mail fiom Flanders arrived last night. with Papers to the 20th instant. They strengthen the probability of an approaching rupture between Russia and Turkey. We have received, via Madrid, accounts of consi derable interest from South America. It appears that the insurrection which broke out some .time ago in Mexico, has, instead of being sup pressed, spread most extensively, and has now as sumed a most menacing importance. Colonel 'rya- BIDE, who gist hoisted the standard of rebellion, was still in force, and his call to arms had been followed at El Bagis, and in the environs of Puebla, at each of which places there were strong bodies of Insurgents. From Vera Cruz, Jalapa, and other places in the rrovinces adjoining, about 600 soldiers had gone over to the Mexican Independents, and the country people had also joined them in thousands. kruaarnE, in a leiter to the Viceroy of the 19th of March, persists in his demands of independence, and informs him, that it be does not accede to his desire, orders will be given to the troops to fight. But as late as the 30th of March there had been no action, and travellers had been till then respected. The Viceroy, in the Gazette of the 14th of March, declares ITURBIDE, and all who may join him, outlaws. If these accounts be correct, the supremacy of the mother -country is as precarious in Mexico, as in any other portion of her American possessions. The force of the - Sims:Roy is estimated at only three thousand men—a force much too small we should think for the service required of it, particularly as desertion appears to be very common. It is said, that though the Insurgent Chiefs are men of ruined for tunes and characters, yet secret bands supply them' ' with money to seduce the soldiers, to whom they give three reals daily, and free quarters. The Officers they delude by promotion and increased pay. A very calm and dignified Remonstrance has been presented by the Spanish Ambassador at Vienna to Count METTERNICH, complaining of the language applied by Austria to the Spanish Constitution. With much argumentative acumen, it points out the great favour which that Constitution found with the Allies, when it operated to the repulse of the legions of Isla- PoLEosa fact which renders the present fashion of decrying it still more improper and ungrateful. The right of any Alliance (holy or unholy) to inter fere with the internal administration of independent States, is firmly denied, and an explanation of certain passages in the Austrian Declarations demanded. We have received, at a late hour this forenoon, Baltimore Papers to the 16th of June. • They con tain some very important accounts from Mexico to the Ist of May, which fully confirm those received via Madrid, which we have noticed above. The cause of Independence appears to be nearly triumphant.— The desertion of the Royal troops had become very general. The regiment of dragoons of Mexico, that of Tlascala, a column of grenadiers composing part of the garrison of Vera Cruz, as well as the militia of Orisava, had abandoned the Royal standard and established their head-quarters at Huamantla, half way between Mexico and Vera Cruz, recognizing Colonel ITURBIDE as their superior in command. The regiment of dragoons of La Puebla soon after fol lowed the example. The detachment of the Regiment of Tlascala, which garrisoned the important point of Rau del Rio and Puerto del Rey, delivered these positions into the bands of a Patriot division, under General Vicrortro. All the population of the coast had declared for in dependence. Orisava was taken by the Patriot Commandant MIRANDA, on the 30th of March, and Cordova on the next day. These two positions were the depots for the Royal tobacco, valued at two mil lions of dollars, all of whichwas captured, notwithstand ing the greatest efforts on the part of the Royalists. Almost all the garrison of Vera Cruz was marched out to aid in retaking these places, but the whole of the Officers and soldiers joined the Independents.— From Puebla 500 men were dispatched with the same intention, but they also joined the Res;olutionists. Lieutenant-Colonel HERneRA and Major VILLCAMIL had formed from those troops who had abandoned the Rciyal cause, a corps of 2500 men, and esta blished them in cantonments at Huatzingo, in order to protect the city of Puebla, where the Revolutionists are masters. On the '2sth of April the port of Alva rado, 50 miles from Vera Cruz, was taken, and on the 27th, the pert of Ilacotalpa. Colonel BUSTANIENTE had also joined the Patriots with the troops which he commanded in the popu lous province Mitchoacan; and it was said that he had attacked and defeated a division of Royalists under the command of Brigadier LOACES, and en tese.i Quaretero. On the 26th April, a desperate action was fought at Tepiaca, about twenty leagues from Mexico, between the Royalists under EBIA and the Patriots under 1-lettnEnn and BRAVO, but. the action was not decisive. The latter retired on Cor dova and Orasava. Ills MAJESTY, it is understood, will embark on his voyage for Ireland, in about ten days. —The Prince Regent yacht, Sir M. SEYMOUR, sailed from Portsmouth for Holyhead yesterday, to embark such of the Noble persons of his MAJESTY'S suite as wish to avoid the circuitous voyage which his MAJESTY and the Royal squadron will make. The following ships will compose the Royal cortige, under the com mand of the Hon. Sir CHARLES Pacer: The Royal George (Commodore); Royal Sovereign yacht, Cap tain CHARLES ADAM; Active frigate, Sir JAMES ALEXANDER GORDON, K.C.B. Glasgow frigate, Cap tain B. C.

The Royal Ma rine Band is to embark in the Royal George. On Wednesday, the LORD ADVOCATE of SCOTLAND received a warrant from his MAJESTY, declaring his Royal pleasure to extend his grace and mercy to fifty one persons, agniwst whom true Bills for High Trea son were found before the Courts of Oycr and Ter miner, held in Scotland last year, but who were not brought to trial, owing to their having absconded.— Immediate orders were in consequence given, that such of these persons as have been taken into cus tody should be liberated in the course of the 'next day, being that fixed for his MAJESTY'S Coronation, and all proceedings against the others have been ordered to be discharged. Saturday morning, at five o'clock, Prince Leo mu), accompanied by Sir W. SMEETON, and Dr. Srocuan, left town, with his suite, in two travelling carriages, for Dover, to proceed abroad, on a visit to his mother. Lady GWYDYR'S rout, on Friday evening, in Pic =dilly, was attended by upwards of two hundred distinguished fashionables. In the Advertisement of the List of Subscribers to' the King's Monument in the Star of Friday, the sub scription of the Duke of SUSSEX was erroneously stated at £lO 10. It ought to have been the more munificent sum of (Ins Hundred Guineas. LADY MORGAN'S ITALY.—We are requested to state,.that in consequence of the very great expenses attending the production of this Work, the Publishers have no present intention of printing it in any other form than that now on sale, in two volumes, quarto, and that, consequently, the report which has been propagated to the contrary is totallyw about foundation. REJOICINGS IN THE COUNTRY. EDINBURGII, JULY 20. Yesterday being appointed for 'the celebration of his Mummy's Coronation, it was ushered in with the firing of cannon, display of flags, and other marks of public rejoicing. The Imperial standard was hoisted on the Castle Tower, and around the battlements a number of flags were displayed, which produced a very gay effect. The flag was also hoisted on Nel son's Monument. The flag ship, naval squadron, and other vessels in Leith roads and harbour, likewise were decorated with colours. Before twelve o'clock, the regiments and troops in garrison here, together with the several volunteer corps, assembled on the Mound and Castle-heights, to celebrate the day by a feu-dc joie. The fineness of the weather enabled a numerous crowd of spectators to visit the scene, and a large proportion of genteel company were present. The Magistrates and a number of the principal inha bitants dined together at the Waterloo Tavern, in celebration of the day. The LORD PROVOST was in the Chair, supported by Sir THOMAS BRADFORD and Lord ROBERT KERR. Throughout the Old Town, and its southern suburbs, the illumination, about nine o'clock, became general. The same observation is applicable to most parts of the New Town. GLASGOW, JULY 20. The celebration of his MAJESTY'S Coronation went off here yesterday in the very best style, every per son appearing determined to be pleased. The town bells were rung from eight to ten, from twelve to two, and from six to eight; and the music bells from two to four. Flags were displayed from the steeples of the Cross and the Tron Church. Several of the public and private buildings were elegantly decorated with flowers. In the Green there was a military display, which afforded much satisfaction. It was composed of a party of the Royal Horse Artillery with two guns, four squadrons of the sth Dragoon Guards, the Glas gow Light Horse, and part of the Airdrie troop of Cavalry: of Infantry, there. were the 91st Regiment and the Glasgow Sharpshooters ; the whole under the command of Colonel MACNEIL, of the 91st. After firing a feu de joie, and cheering in honour of the occasion, a number of military evolutions were per formed, displaying to great advantage the combined operations of artillery, cavalry, and infantry. An im mense concourse of people attended, and there was a very large assemblage of carriages on the ground.— On account of the season of the year, and the number of absentees, it was determined to have no illumina tion, and there was not the most distant attempt at enforcing one. In place of this, the Magisrrates pro vided fire-works, more extensive than any formerly witnessed here, which were exhibited in the Green for two hours, to perhaps not less than fifty thousand well-pleased spectators. PORTSMOUTH, JULY Ell. The Coronation of our most gracious King was celebrated on Thursday, with universal uninterrupted joy. The morning was ushered in with merry peals of the bell, colours displayed on the churches, the shipping, and at all the public, and many of the pri vate buildings; the interest of which was increased a: noon by the assembling of the military around the lines of the garrison, who fired in succession with sa lutes from the batteries afeu de joie, as did the ships of war a Loyal salute of twenty-one guns each; and they being di eased with their colours, presented a :Host lively and picturesque sight. Amongst the numerous festivities on the joyful oc casion, was a meeting of the Captains of the Navy, afloat and on half-pay, to dinner, at the George Inn, in this town—Commodore the Hon. Sir CHARLES PAGET in the Chair, and J. R. GLovxa, Esq. Vice. 'There 'acre present, Captains Sir Edward Owen, Hollis, Raggett, Hay, Garrett, Doyle, Sir Lucius Curtis, Bourchier, Sibly, Graham, Searle, floss, Bowker, Sir Charles Burrard, Wallis, Askew, Clowes, Parry, T. Dickenson (b), Marryatt, Blacker, Yates, Mowbray, Richardson, Blake, Dutton, Huggins, Falcon, and Yeoman. When the cloth was removed, the following toasts were drank: " King George the Fourth ; Gob bless him!" with four times four. and in a style which proved that the heart and voice were in unison.--" The Royal Family." " The Duke of York and the Army." " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy ; and may we never expose our round sterns ! " Sec. The day was spent with that harmony and genuine hilarity characteristic of the profession, and we may challenge the country for a Meeting at which was evinced a warmer display of sincere attachment to his MAJESTY. The festive board was excellently and sumptuously supplied by Mr. BILLET?. The company retired from the George to the Ball and Supper, at the Green-row Rooms, at which were upwards of 200 guests; the Supper being likewise s upplied by Mr. BILLET? with the choicest luxuries of the season, and the whole in a style and of a de scription which could only be exceeded by the glee and social good humour which pervaded the table. Among the benevolent festivities of the day, was an entertainment given by the Friends of the National Schools to the Children, about 500 of whom sat down to a good dinner of roast beef and plum-pudding, to which was added half a pint of strong beer to each, to drink the KING'S health. This interesting scene was concluded by the children singing, in most ani mated strains, " GOD save the King. To the workmen employed in the King's Dock yard, and other Public Departments, was giien a whole holiday, with a second class of day's pay—a consideration in the aggregate which rather exceeds what they would have received by work. The shops were closed nearly the whole of the day, which was spent in loyal harmony and perfect happi ness, and was concluded with an illumination of all the principal houses in the towns. The Dinner at the Star Inn, Gosport, in celebra tion of his MAJESTY'S Coronation, was numerously attended by the most respectable inhabitants of that town and the parish of Alverstoke—DANlEL Qv/m -a:en, Esq. one of the Magistrates of the county, Pre sident.; Mr. CRUIKSIIANK, Vice-President. It is im possible to describe in adequate words the unanimity and conviviality which prevailed upon this interest ing occasion. The following toasts were given : " The health of his Majesty," amidst the most enthusiastic and long-continued cheering. The heaths of the Royal Family." " The Duke of York and the Army." " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy." " The glorious principles which seated the House of Bruns wick oa the Throne." Many other loyal toasts were also given. The company separated at a late hour, extremely gratified by an entertainment which united all poli- tical parties, and drew forth those lively feel:ngs , 0 truly characteristic of British loyalty and electi on towards a beloved Sovereign. Mr. Qtroantse, in the early part of the day, enter. tamed upwards of 200 of the villagers of Stok e w i t h a plentiful dinner of beef, plum-puddings, aild strong beer, and contributed much to the hilarity of the pa rty by an excellent band. About 30 respectable inhabitants of Gosport dined together, in honour of the occasion, at Mr. &mu's, th e Sun, North-street, Mr. W. PARNETER in the Ch a i r. A number of loyal and constitutional toasts %%er e drank, and good humour and hilarity prevailed during the whole evening. The loyal inhabitants of Fareham commemorated his MAJESTY'S Coronation by a distribution nf twentr. six fat sheep, and six hogsheads of strong beer, to the poor, at their own houses, att.! thus gave to each fa mily a repast calculated to leave a !_leasing recollex: tion of the august event. This is to be followed by a Ball and Supper on Wednesday next. ALBANY BARRACKS, ISLE OF WIGHT, JULY 21. The day of our beloved SoVens;:,:x's Comm:lei could not be commemorated in a more splendid stele anywhere than it was in Newport and Albany R. racks. The morning was ushered in with the ringing 'of bells, which was kept up meriilv the whol e o f t h e day, flags flying at the Tower. One hundred and twenty-two of my brother Officers sat down to a sumptuous dinner, served by different messmen cf the Barracks, in the Armory-room, which was fitted up elegantly for the occasion, our worthy Com mandant, in the Chair. Sir LEONARD WORSLEE HOLMES and his troop or Yeomanry paid us a visit in the morning,to fire at oyal salute with our soldiers on the spacious green befe:e the Commandant's house. There were a great many Ladies present, which added greatly to the jovci i i scene. The Yeomanry Cavah y and many privat e Gentlemen, dined together at the Sun Inn.iii Newport, their Colonel, Sit L. W..IIoLmES in the Cilair. The Corporation, and about eight y other Gentlemc .dined at the Bugle Inn, Sir RICIIMID BASSETT, Mayor, in the Chair. At every inn in the town were to be seen groups of happy countenances. Out non-commis. stoned Officers (131) dined at the Canteen. The privates all partook of good old English tare, roast beet and plum-pudding. About eight o'clock in tile evening the town was all bustle, pi evaling to illuminate.— Devices and transparencies were displayed at many houses, painted expressly for the occasion. Among others there was a iA hole-length portrait of his mo gracious MAJESTY GEORGE the FOURTH, in his robes, exhibited by Mr. &lay, opposite the Guildhall. A Ball was held at the Guildhall on Friday even. ing, in honour of the Coronation ; it was fitted op in the most elegant style, being hung with f2stoons of laurel and roses. The under part of the building (the market) was splendidly decorated with shrubs and illuminated with gas and transparent lamps, trans parencies, C vns, Stars, and oher devices. Refresh ments were .1 for COO, under the direction of COOPER, of the Sun Inn. The wl.ole of this festivity wai under the superintendence oi Boners. CLastat, Esq. Banker. The portrait of his Maaesrv, lent by Mr. BonT'•, was placed at the head of t:ie centre table; thu ~:tuation it was placed in aff riled every person an opportunity of examining it; nothing mug have answered better for the purpose, it apreariag well from the end of the room and baying 331 a ceeding good effect when close to it. Great praise is due to Sir L. W. HOLNIER, Coltnel Ross, of Albany, and many other Gentlemen, who were the Stewards. Sir L. W. HOLMES V..AS (as I understand he always is) peculiarly indehttigable in his endeavours to make every person comfortable and happy. Dancing commenced at nine o'clock: qua drilles and country-dances were alternate]) danced ' with great spirit till five in the morning. Everything went off in the most cheerful manner. In St. James's square a stage was erected, from which a grand dis play of fite-works was seen till two in the morning. ' There were likewise many set off on Friday evening. FAST COWES. At East Cowes, all the population partook of a very superior dinner, gratis, in a field on the shore belong ing to Mr. SHEDDEN the tables were surmounted at about every six feet v..ith„lofty arches Of evergreen, from every one of which depended garlands of flowers bound in knots of ribbons, and the arches were them- selves linked together by festoons of flowers of several hundred feet. The upper end of a square was occu pied by the old people, the opposite side by the Na tional School, the remainder of the square by other tables, at which many hundreds were accommodated; all were decorated alike. In the centre was an enor mous figure of a Crown, garnished with the red and white rose, the shamrock, the thistle, and the leek. But the peculiarity of the day was the solemnity of reading the Coronation Oath to the people, by the Rev. Mr. STONESTREET. It was inscribed on a ban. ner, beautifully worked with every national emblem; the banner was afterwards affixed to an oak tree, and a royal salute terminated the first part of the cere mony, until after which no one was allowed to ap- proach the dinner tables. Large quantities of Coro- nation medals were scrambled for, and every sort cf game, dance, and race introduced, which could ani. mate such a scene. The whole passed off with a fel tivity and good humour, which amply rewarded the pains and taste exhibited in the preparation. SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 21. A Meeting of the Inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood was held at the Audit House, it being the general wish, that instead of an illumination ia honour of his MAJESTY'S Coronation, some other mode should be adopted for celebrating die same; it was therefore unanimously resolved that a subscrip. tion be entered into for the purpose of providing a public dinner and entertainments for the inhabitant! of the town; and that the day of his MAJESTY'S CO' ronation may be a general holiday, it was requested that all shops should be shut,. and no business trans acted on that day, and that such dinner and enter tainments should take place on the Marsh adjacent to the town. The sum of £lOB 4s. was subscribed , and the Committee and several Banks were solicited to receive further subscriptions, which came forward in so spirited a manner, that on Wednesday morning the subscriptions amounted to nearly £5OO. An or der was given to provide for 5,000 persons; but i it . • calculated that from 6,000 to 7,000 partook of t:-- The morning of Thursday was ushered in by ringing of bells, firing of guns, &c. at six o'clock ; and il l ' bellman announced throughout the town, that the
