A / /' THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1821. THE FUNDS. The Consols opened this morning at 75%, being an improvement of 34 from the closing price of yes terday. This rise is attributed to some purchases of 'Stock which had been sold upon the supposition of an immediate war on the Continent. At one o'clock the Market was declining a little; some sales having been effected, supposed to be for the Jew party, who are getting rid of their Stock in order to prepare for a bidding in the French Loan. Mr. RoruscHlLD set off this day for Paris for that purpose. CURRENT PRICES AT ONE O'CLOCK: Bank Stock 232-3 per Cent. Reduced 76 1 / 4 % 1 / 8 3 per Cent.

It is with extreme sorrow we learn, at the moment of putting our Paper to press, that her MAJEsTy's life is despaired of. A mortification had taken place in the parts affected, this morning, and in the forenoon a medicine, quicksilver, resorted to only in the last ne cessity, was administered to her MAJESTY, which, if it has not an immediate effect, no hopes are entertained. New York Papers arrived this morning to the 11th of July. They contain a new report of the capture of Lima, after a sanguinary engagement. The fol lowing are extracts: LATEST FROM SOUTH AZHEIUCA.—Capture of Lima.—The most important intelligence is the re ported capture (on the authority of the Oroonoko Cou rier of the 21st April) of Lima, by General San Mar tin, after a signal victory obtained at Uri, over the Spanish army, commanded by the Viceroy, in ♦which the latter lost 1000 killed, and 1600 prisoners, among whom was a General of Division, supposed to be O'Reilly. _ _ " Just as our Paper was prepared for press, we re ceived a file of the Cararoa Courants to the 9th of June inclusive. Caraccas has again fallen into the hands of the Royalists, unJer the command of Ge neral Morales. The following is a letter from Porto Cabello: _ _ " • I have to acquaint you, that General Morales entered Caraccas on the 26th instant!, after a smart action with the enemy, in which they lost, in killed and wounded, 300 men. After taking possession of the Capital, he marched down to Laguira, in older not to allow the enemy time to escape by sea : they only amounted to about 500 men, belonging to Ber mudez's division, who, on perceiving our approach, made good their retreat. The last accounts state, that General Morales arrived at Valencia, from Carac cas, on the 31ofJuue, accompanied by the Regiment of Burgos, and the cavalry, with which he entered Cat accas.' " EXTRACT or A LETTER FROM CURAcOA, JUNE I I. The day after I wrote you, we received accounts of the capture of Laguira by the 'Royalists; but they must yield it back on the first appearance of a competent farce, as all the batteries and works of defence have been destroyed. All the accounts from Columbia are most favourable to the Patriots, who are likely to fight the great battle with a superior force, and with every prospect of success. Bolivar, united with PACE, is 9,000 strong, near Valencia: the Royalists ate not near so many. The old Spaniards are every day flying from the Main; they consider their cause hopeless. Six vessels have within these few days sailed from this place, to bring off Royalists and their property from Laguira." Yesterday, the Duke of WELLINGTON left town for the Continent, in order to inspect the whole of the new fortifications constructed and carrying on throughout the Netherlands. Ills Grace will visit Paris previous to his return. Thursday, his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK dined at the Star and Garter, at Richmond, with a party of Officers of his Regiment, who had the ho nour of conveying him up the River, from Whitehall stairs, themselves, in a beautiful eight-oared boat, built expressly fur their use this Spring. The fol lowing were the eight rowers on this occasion: Lord SAmon, Colonel BROOK, Colonel BARCLAY, .Colonel Colonel GUANT, Captain I)ount4s, Captain SLAP wt., Captain LONG. —His Royal Highness • was attended by General Urros and Colonel Cools. Yesterday, soon after three o'clock,liis Royal High ness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE left town on his return to Hanover. His Royal Highness proceeded in his chariot and four, attended by Colonel PROTT, along Vauxhall-bridge. his Royal Highness was followed by his suite in a coach and four. An account of the late Coronation, prepared by the Herald's College, was published last night in a, Supplement to the London Gazette. To publish it would be little more than a repetition of the account given in the Star on the 19th ult. from which it does not differ in any material point. -- - There is now growing, in a field belonging to Mr. Jonnv PANTON, of Milton, a wild oat, the stalk of which measures ten feet and a half in height, and one inch girth, and has one hundred and fifty clevels! Wednesday, during the passage of the Eagle steam packet from London to Ramsgate, a Gentleman, said to be a Mr. Ber.t., of Vauxhall, ruptured a blood vebscl, and very soon expired. FRENCH PAPERS. • The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived this fore noon. A partial change has taken place in the French Ministry. Messrs. Consumes ' and VILLELE, two Chiefs of the Ultra party, have resigned. M. LAINE is said to have left the Council of State, in which' he sat, and was an active man : but, singularly enough, M. DE CIIATEAUBRIAND, the Corypherus of the party, continues in office, notwithstanding the secession or the dismission of his friends.— What, 9r whether any important effect will be pro duced by this change, can hardly be collected from the Journals, or, indeed, from the private letters. The Duke of RICHELI au and the main part of the Admini stration continues the same; and under these circum stances there would, we should think, be no serious deviation from the usual march of the Government. The following are some further extracts from these Papers : PARIS, AUGUST 1. It is stated in a letter from Vienna, dated the 20th ult. that the Duke of Reichstadt (young Bonaparte) had that morning appeared, for the first time, in deep mourning, at the Imperial Palace of Schoenbrunn. The English Ambassador at Constantinople has enjoined all the British Consuls in the ports of the Levant not to permit the subjects of the Porte to em bark on board English vessels without the formal permission of the Ottoman Government. From various letters worthy of credit we glean the following intelligence, calculated to allay the fears of those families whose relatives reside for commercial purposes in certain ports of the Levant:—On the 16th of June last, all the French of Smyrna, without ex ception, embarked under the protection of the Royal vessels, the Echo and the Lionne, to escape the conflagration which the fury of the Turks, having reached its highest pitch, gave them reason every moment to fear. These two ships of war were soon after joined by the sloops Golo and Bonite, the schooner Estafette, and the cutter Chevrette. Our commercial interests were protected at the same time in other ports of the Egean, and on the coasts of the Morea, by a squadron consisting of the ship of the line the Romulus, the frigates Joan of Arc and Fleur de-Lis, the corvette Hope, the brigs Olivier, Loiret, and Ruse; the sloop Arriege; and the cutters Truite, Active, and Lemprey.

VIENNA, JULY 19. jFrom the Mon/icor.] Very important dispatches have been transmitted to this capital from the Austrian Embassy in Rus sia. It appears that M. le Baron de Lebzeltern had not arrived at St. I'etersburgh, where his presence is extremely necessary, on account of the shape which affairs seem to take in the East of Europe. Cabinet Councils were immediately held after the arrival of these dispatches, and Piince Metternich repaired to the Emperor at Schoenbrunn. There is a talk of an important Declaration which Russia has made to the great POwers, respecting her relations with Turkey, and mote especially the offensive conduct adopted by the Porte towards her, and the violation of the law f nations. We hear likewise of an extraordinary step which Russia has taken at Constantinople, to ob tain full and entire satisfaction. Finally, we hear of very important military measures ordered by the Em peror Alexander. All this intelligence is spread in the capital with incredible rapidity, and it appears that our Govern ment is willing that it should be known to the mer chants, that they may nor be led into error in their speculations. This was the more necessary, as within the last twelve or fifteen days, demi-official notices had been promulgated, the object of %illicit was to shew, that Russia would not interfere in the affairs of Turkey, and that do war weuld take place between these two Powers. Reports to the contrary had even been demi-officially refuted. Since the arrival of the dispatches from St. Peters burgh, of which mention has been made, war is again regarded as iitqvituble, because the question now re volves, not about interference in the internal affairs of Turkey, but about obtaining reparation for out rageous and offensive conduct. and it is doubtful whether the Porte will make such a teparation in the present circumstances. It is believed that our Court will be obliged to order various new military mea sures, which the topographical position of some of our provinces appears to render absolutely necessary. Several couriers have been sent from hence with dispatches for diffetent Cabinets. One has been sent to St. Peteisburgh. Ibrahim, Pacha of Brussa, has formed a camp near Bujukdere: it is believed that he is secretly ap pointed to take possession of the castles of the Bos phorus, and to remove from them the Jamaks, who are always disposed to revolt. It was currently reported on 'Change this morn ing that the Russian Manifesto had arrived in town. During the present week, many of the distinguished Foreign Noblemen, who had arrived to honour the Coronation with their presence, have embarked at Dover, on their return to their respective Courts; among them were the Sicilian, Sardinian, and Rus sian Ambassadors. Their Excellencies' departure from Dover was marked by salutes from the Heights Battery, similar to those with which they were re ceived on their arrival. _ _ The Vice-Regal Lodge in the Phoenix Park, in which his MAJESTY purposes to reside during his stay in Dublin, has been erroneously described in some of the Papers as a plain brick building; but it is by no means what the term" Lodge" might seem to imply. It is a splendid mansion of cut stone, with a fine por tico of the Corinthian order, surm ounted by an an gular pediment. The interior is spacious and superbly furnished. The gardens are very extensive, and in the first style of cultivation and arrangement. This mansion is the summer residence of the VICEROY, and its aspect, which is south-west, commands a prospect of the midland parts of the county of Dublin, with • the Wicklow and Dublin ranges of mountain, which forms a landscape of great extent, richness, and pie ' turesquc beauty. HIS MAJESTY'S VISIT TO IRELAND. COWES, AUGUST 3, 1821. The Royal George yacht, with his MAJESTY on board, aunimpanied by the Royal Sovereign yacht and several men of war, passed through Cowes Roads, to the westward, on Wednesday, the Ist inst. at one o'clock, P.M. but there being a strong breeze at west, the Royal squadron bore up and returned to Cowes Roadstead at five o'clock, P.M. Thursday, the 2d inst. at four o'clock, A. u. the Royal yachts and men of war left their anchorage, and dropped down with the ebb tide towards the Needles; but the wind being west, and blowing fresh, the yachts and squadron were necessarily obliged to beat out through the Needles passage, and succeeded therein about four o'clock, P. M. At eight o'clock last evening they were all off Peverell Point; and the wind this morning, at three o'clock, A. as. having shifted to the east, the whole squadron was observed, at one o'clock, P. M. passing rapidly down Channel, so that their reaching the Land's End to-morrow morning may with certainty be concluded on. Several of the yachts of the Royal Yacht Club, viz. Lord ANGLESEA'S Pearl, the Honourable CHARLES A. PELNAm's Falcon, Mr. THOMAS SMITH'S Eliza beth, Mr. Owen WILLIAMS'S Gazelle, Mr. THOMAS P. WILLIAMS'S Blue-eyed Maid, Mr. WELD'S Char lotte, Mr. PARKINS' two yachts, Unicorn and Zephyr, Mr. HALLIEAXS Arid, Mr. PowELL's Briton, Cap tain SYMONDs'S Admiral Cornwallis, Colonel SHED DEST'S Lord of the Isles, Mr. MAXSET'S Sabrina, Sir RICHARD PULESTON'S Nancy, and several others, form part of the Royal cortege, and exhibited a mo,t beautiful appearance when accompanying his MA JESTY from Spithead. ANOTHER LETTER, DATED THURSDAY, Taw, A. 31. His MAJESTY and the attendant squadron left the Cowes Roadstead this morning at five o'clock, under the hope of being able to pass through the Needles. Before he got to the Yarmouth Roads, however, the wind died almost entirely away. The royal yacht and ships of war accordingly came to anchor, near Yarmouth Roads, where they now remain. It is hoped that they will get out with the tide; but un less the wind change speedily from its present north westerly direction, they cannot make much way to day. Soon after the royal yacht came to her moor ings here yesterday, the Royal Marine Band which attends the squadron went on board, and during the evening performed several pieces of music. Numbers of small boats, with parties from every quarter of the Isle of Wight, went round the royal yacht, and had the pleasure of seeing his MAJESTY seated at his table, with Admiral WHIT3RED, Sir GEORGE COOKE, and several of the Captains of the ships of war. At night two very brilliant bonfires were exhibited at East Cowes. They remained burning to a late hour, and illuminated the sea and atmosphere for a consider able space round. Two houses wcre illuminated at East Cowes. At West Cowes, though the more im mediate scene of the Royal presence, there were no illuminations whatever; but to compensate for their absence, there were rockets and other various fire works in abundance. The promenade was crowded during the evening, and exhibited a great display of fashion and beauty. Mr. l'Etitast's yacht, the Falcon, is still in view from Cowes. , She is at anchor, not having been under weigh early enough this morning to take her departure with the squadron. This yacht mounts twelve excellent pieces of cannon. PORTSMOUTH, AUGUST 2. A cutter came in here this morning from the royal squadron, for letters, parcels, &c. that might have arrived here for them. The ACTIVE and the LIFFEY frigates have come back to Spithead. They draw so much water that they do not like going through the Needles: they go into the Channel with the first fa vourable wind, by St. Helen's. The royal yacht passed near the CAMEL yesterday, on leaving Spithead. The Countess BERTRAND was on deck, and eagerly asked the names of those per sons who appeared to her the most distinguished. Those who were near her, however, could not very satisfactorily answer her questions, as they were, in fact, as much strangers to the persons on board the yacht as she was herself. Upon his MAJESTY'S arrival here, on Tuesday evening, the MAYOR and Corporation of Portsmouth immediately assembled in the Town Hall, .and agreed to address his MAJESTY. The Address was drawn np and assented to, and the wish of the Corporation to present it was conveyed to his MAJESTY, in the harbour, by Admiral WHITSMED. • The answer of his MAJESTY was, " that he had embarked in his yacht on his voyage to Ireland; that it would, there fore, be inconvenient for him to receive, at this time, the Address of the Corporation of Portsmouth; but that he would be happy to accede to their wishes on his return." MIS-PAST SEM. O'CLOCK. The KING, by most excellent management on the part of Commodore Sir C. PAGE; has succeeded in getting through the Needles. PLYMOUTH, AUGUST e. We are in momentary expectation of seeing his most gracious Majesty, KING GEORGE the FOURTH, pass this port, on his voyage to the Sister Kingdom. We have not yet heard it stated, with any degree of certainty or authenticity, whether or not it is his MAJESTY'S intention to honour our town with a visit on shore; Lut we believe there it. no cLubt of hi.. intention to inspect that stupendous and useful n a . tional undertaking, the Breakwater, in Plym out h Sound. An Officer, with several Artillerymen, w ere yesterday placed on it, with guns, to salute and u•e!. come his approach ; and we believe other parties a re posted at Maker, and on the various other heigh t , and headlands in this neighbourhood, which are likely to command a view of the squadron that ac. companies his MAJESTY. CHESTER, ACGCST 3. It is rumoured still that our beloved Sotrearm, will return through Wales, and visit \Vynnstay, an d Lord FORESTER'S seat, in Shropshire. At the fo rme r hospitable mansion, the preparations for the conch,. gency of the reception of a Royal guest still eo n . tinue. 'At Beaumaris also, handsome robe s are making for the Members of the Corporation of that town, in the expectancy of the KING honouring it with his presence. • DUBLIN, AUGUST t. Lord FORBES, son of the Earl of GRANARD, and one of his MAJESTY% Aides-de-Camp, to whose di rection several very important matters connected with the Royal visit has been committed, has received or. dens to be in readiness by Friday next, for the arrival of his MAJESTY. At the same time, we must state 1-Monday his MAJESTY is not expected in D u bli n b e f ore 1 -Monday next. • A number of Noblemen and Gentlemen intend to proceed forthwith to Holyhead ; to swell the train cf the litsc, and to usher and welcome liirn to their native land: For this purpose, pleasurc.boats a a j small vessels are in requisition, and in sonic cases very large sums have been paid for the latter. The Noblemen• and Gentlemen of the Turf Clay have resolved to make every exertion to tender ;.is MAJESTY'S reception as suitable to his statics and dignity as their means and anxious endeavour s al - of. They have changed the Autumn Meeting to the first Monday of whatever week his MADEsre may vouchsafe to honour the Turf Club with his presence, and that in future the Autumn Meeting be denominated the Royal Meeting. We learn with much satisfaction, that subscriptions to a considerable amount have been already set down for the testimonial in honour of his MAJESTY'S via to this country. His Excellency the LORD Lteure- NANT, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the ATTORNEY and SOLICITOR-GENERAL, and several Noblemen and Gentlemen, are among those who have subscribed. The Gentlemen whis composed the Committee to address and solicit our gracious KING to visit this City, assembled at Morrison's yesterday, when it was agreed that a Meeting should take place to-morrow, at the Exchange, for the purpose of completing the objects they have in view on the auspicious occasioa of his MAJEsTY's stay amongst us. Doctor HODGKINSON, DOME LLOYD, and Doctor WILSON, are the Fellow s who are to have the con ducting the University Dinner. The KING will le received on this occasion in the Library, from which a covered way will be erected to the Theatre, or Hall, where the Dinner is to be laid. The number of per sons which this classic room is capable of accommo• dating is ihout.lso. A number of rooms have been laid ont at the Trea• stiry, for suck Personages in the suite of the km,as those rooms can Conveniently accommodate. They are now putting jnio.cirder, and furnishing in the beg style for the purpose. General Sir T. HA MOSS, and . fetir or five of his MAJESTY'S Equerries, wJI take up their residence here. Mr. C..S. HAwrnose; had ,requested Lord SID. MOUTH to occupy his residence in the Custom-house, but the Noble . Home Secretary will be the guest cf Mr. GRAM?, at his Lodge in the Park, while in this country. UNION* OF PARTIES. It is with delight that we record the proceedings which took place at the Royal Exchange on Monday, when a numerous assembly . of Protestants and Catho• lies agreed to celebrate, his MAJESTY'S Coronation, by a Festival, uniting at one board the leaders of hitherto contending parties. All political distinctions are now at an end, and it is for this consummation that we have laboured in the Dublin Press—we trust the good work will go forward until the permanent union of all denominations of the people shall be effected in every city, town, hamlet, and parish of Ireland.. We cannot too highly praise those who have accomplished this great object, and to Mr. O'CoNKELL, in particular, the country is largely ir• debted. The generosity of his heart has sacrificed all personal - feeling at the shrine of his country, Nd he embraces those whom he thought far removed from him. The LORD MAYOR has made equal sacrifice, and the peace makers of both sides are astonished that they had not long ago sunk thir difference; and rallied round the standard of their countrl - The auspicious event of his AIAJESTY'S visit tO land has been the happy occasion of this union: hci the predisposing cause may be traced chiefly tO Yr' GRANT'S wise, conciliating, and liberal policy, and partly to the conviction .that the dissentions of Ire land were her weakness and ruin. We feel too too gratified to hazard the slightest suspicion of the sic" cerity of any party, and we 'hail the approaching zra of his MAJESTY'S residence in Ireland, as t 1 : 1 guarantee of the future harmony, prosperity, happiness of her People.—Dublin Journal.
