The Funds have within the last two days declined mere than • one per Cent. There have, in consequence, b!en variou4 rumours circulated in the city ; but liven all the information we have been able to procure, the• sales were made chiefly for Country Bunkers, of course perfectly unconnected with news or politics.— There is every problbility that this is the true cause of tl:e decline. Consols opened yesterday at at 761, and at :ne o'clock were 75. They left off ut We have received Paris Papers of Wednesday last, but they do nut comain any thing of importance. The Paris Papers of Monday last state, that on Sun day the King signed the contract of marriage between the Count Decazes, the Minietcrr of Police, and Made moiselle de Saint Aulaire The Secret Memorial lately addressed by the French Ultra Royalists to the Foreign Sovereigns, has been published in London. Its purpose indisputably was t'te removal of the present Ministry, and to recom mend a restoration of the old regime in France. An article from Madrid, which quotes intelligence frm South America, admits the defeat sustained by the Royalists at Maipa, and mentions a report that Gene rsi Osorio will. in consequence, be tried by a Council War. The same article states that couriers are fre e.:ntly dispatched to Russia, and that it is supposed the Spanish Colonial ailhirs will become a subject of discussion at the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle. It is said to be certain that the Allied Monarchs, 1.-!fibre assembling at Aix-la-Chapelle, will review their troops in France, from the Upper Rhine to Mau be'.lgc Lord Castlereagh does not proceed to Aix-la-Chapelle till the 15th inst. as the Congress does not commence it. , sittings till the first week in September. The Noble Lord is to be attended in all by Lord Clanwilliam, Lord Francis Conyngham, Mr. Planta, and Mr. Chad. A Mail from Hamburgh bus brought papers to the Bth instant. They supply us with particulars of some disturbances at Gottingen, which originated in a quar rel between one of the students at the University, and a butcher. A body of horse which had been marched into the place to restore order, having attacked the students, and wounded five of them, the latter with drew to the Hessian town of Witrenheusen, whence they sent a deputation, with a memorial to the Autho rities at Hanover. The result of this application is stated ; but the greater number of them are said to Lave returned, in consequence of the vigorous measures adopted by the Hanoverian government ; and it is stat ed, that, by way of punishment for the recent disturb ances, foreigners will, for a certain period, be excluded from the University. IMPROVED VALUE OF PaorgaTY.—On Wednesday last, Mr. Russell let by auction for thirty-one years, at annual rents, the Elephant and Castle public house, Newington Butts, the chapel, and dwelling house, and t messuages and tenements immediately adjoining. Tile total rental for the last 21 years has been 1901. per annum ; but on Wednesday it was let for a total annual rental of 6231. subject to the several takers ex pending in improvements not less than 17501. Yesterday being the Duke of York's birth-day, the same was observed by her Majesty, at Kew palace, in a similar way to the Prince Regent's, by a dinner to her illustrious family. The Prince Regent left town to be present at a quarter past four o'clock. The Duke of Cambridge. uccoeipanied by Prince William and Prince Frederick of Ilesse Cassel left Caxabridge house fats similar purpose at 4 o'clock. THE NATIONAL Itr.6ISTEK tier Majesty has experiened sl much relief from the united taleutii of her physicians and Mr. Kea% the surgeon, u to be able to resume her occutoined exer. cise iti her garden chair, with mt its producing any re ccrretice of tht.rrp spamatklic uffeetioas which li.tve here tofere caused such alarming erect euring shout the slightest motion. Every precaution, iodeed, is taken to avoid any material alteration of her Maj:sty's posi tion, Li her removal from her chamber to her clriir ; and the horse is led in the gentlest and must careful rnannm., so as to make the motion almost imperceptible. fler NI ujesty's appetite also continues unimpaired ; but, notwithstanding all these favourable circumstances, it is no;; probable that she will speedily be removed from Kew.—lt is generally believed that her Majesty has undergone on operation, by which the water in her chest has Item withdrawn. Her Majesty's health, we are extremely happy to say, continues to improve. On Thursday evening at six o'clock, her Majesty left Kew Palace and rode out in her g arden chair in the delightful pleasure wounds attachd to the Palace, drawn by her pony, guided by her coachman. The Duchess of Gloucester walked by the side of her beloved mother ' • Princess Augusta ful lowed. leaning on the arm of Sir Francis Milman.— They were fialoweil by - two footmen. Her Majesty continued her ride for upwards of an hour ; she ap peared very cheerful and much refreshed. On Thurs day morning the Countess of Cardigan visited her Majesty. At the same time the Duchess of Gloucester and Princely; Augusta rode out in an open carriag e.— The account yesterday was, that " her Majesty ha d had a goad night and continued much the same." Wednesday being the Prince Regent's birth-day, it was observed in a private manner, the public celebration by a Court and other rejoicings having taken place on St. George's day. The Dukes of York and Cambridge, and Prince Leopold, paid their personal respects to the Prince Regent, ut Carlton-house, upon the anniversary of his birth. The *Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, with a numerous assemblage of nobility, thronged Carl ton-house, to pay their congratalatory respects. The company was occasionally so numerous that the great gates of Carlton-house were thrown open. The Duke of Clarence has declared, says the Morn ing Chronicle, that it is his intent:on to return with the Duchess to England in the course of a few months, as he has the well-grounded prospect of her Royal High ness bringing him a Prince or Princess, audit is their mutual wish that the birth should take place in Eng land. The same paper, which is in luck with its inte resting secret::, ves on to state that the pregnancy of the Luchess of _Cambridge is also announced; but it laments to learn that her Royal Highness is to be con fined in Hanover. This, it continues, cannot be acceptable to England, unless it could be supposed that there i,s a design of separatin7 the kingdom of Hanover from the Crown of Great Britain ; and that the future Sovereign of the nation should be born within it. The Duchess of Cambridge has expressed much solicitude to return to the Continent, anC the Duke has therefore signified his intention of praceeding to Laver to-morrow, to embark for Calais. About seven miles east from Grantham. by the Bridge End turnpike road, on the side of a Lill, coin 'minding a view of the coast at Boston Ilaven, were lately discovered very considerable remains of ancient buildings, tesselated pavements, and other indications of a fixed Roman military station; and further search, in digging and removing the earth, &c. continues to be made by order of Sir William Earl Wclby and Lord Brownlow, the proprietors of the parish of Staceby, wherein these discoveries were made. The first subject was found by some labourers widening the road; it consists at present of three distinct apartments, the I middle one t 6 feet by 22, the others are not vet ascer tained ; the floors are paved with red and white small stones three quarters of an inch square each, and form different patterns; the first by the road, in squares; the middle one octagons; and of the third, only part. of a border inscribed with circles, remains. 'these floors appear to be formed of a bed of compact tempered blue clay, 20 inches thick, covered with a strong cement of lime, &c. about two inches thick, in which the tessam are paved and set fast. The walls are of stone, firmly laid in strong coarse lime mortar; the outer ones are five feet thicks-the inner ones, beta een the rooms, three feet only : not any of these walls remain higher than the floors. No idea can be formed of them as an habitation, further than to guess from fragments dug up, which clearly showed that the roof was covered • with coarse blue slate, and the walls lined on the in side with different coloured figured tiles, not any two alike, and in some parts by tine cement, like stone, painted in various ;admits. Of the windows, only a very few pieces of glass were found, and not of a size sufficient to chew any thing, except in one place, which was staineal thmrgh of a beautiful fine colour, Of timber nothing was met with but soot and black char ' coal, like embers, which produced a conjecture that the fabric was partly destroyed by fire. It is stated in the Pis ladeliihia FroaCin Gazette that the thermometer in that city lately stood ut 102, average 100 ; and that four or five persons died by im prudently drinking cold water, notwithstanding the , frequent warnings that arses Lien. given. o.ftfLr. :~~ ~ . THE DRAM.I. ENGLISH CHIERA HOUSE. 1 . The we/city of the week kt this pleasing and teed conducted summer theatre, is the serious teel.e celled ' the Death of Captain Look. Tlais well kuoit n subject is exeetelingly well depicted and the interest rises until the conclusion of the piece, which is got up under the direction of Mr. T. P. Cooke, whose, abilities are fully proved nut only as a regulator of pantomimic. action, but as a superior actor. The grouping of the Islanders is most picturesque and the combats and occasional skirmishes with the marines, sailors, &e. naturally managed. T. P. Cooke personated the dying moments of the heroic but unfortunate Navigator with expressive effect. Mrs. Pincott as a Native of Owyee proved her. self an active and graceful pantomimist. The Indians were introduced and porfitrmed throughout with a spirit and precision which surprised us. Lionel and Clarissa has been repeated, and we pro nounce that it has seldom or ever been so well acted as upon these boards. The entertainments of Friday night attracted a fashionable and full audience. We have frequently befere borne testimony to the merits of the perthrmers, in the Opera of Free and Easy ; they are so well known and appreciated, that it would be super fluous to particularise them. In the new Operetta of the Bull's Head, which followed, Mr. Wrench was fully as efficient and happy at: in the former piece. HAVNIARKET THEATRE. The comedy of A Cure fur the Heart Ache was per. formed at this Theatre on Tuesday evening, for the first time these five years. Mr. Jones played Young Rapid with uncommon spirit; he infused into it all the animal vivacity which seems to be the essence of this part. Ohl Rapid was admirably represented by Mr. Liston ; and Mr. Tokely displayed both pathos and humour in the character of the young rustic. Miss Blanchard was the representative of Jenny. The part seems suited to her, and she performed it extremely well. Her recitation is highly judicious, elegant, and unaffected. Several passages where tenderness or sen timent are to be expressed, were given by her with great happiness. Mrs. Gibbs performed Miss Vortex with her accustomed force and liveliness, and Mrs. Connor was extremely successful in her representatioa of Ellen FOrte.r. Notwithstanding the meagre vulgarity of the comic part of the dialogue in this play, the performance went off with signal success. The whim siral drollery of some of the situations, and the ludi crous, but natural conception of the two principal elle riders, executed with all the comic force of which they are susceptible, by Mr. Jones and Mr. Liston, kept the audience literally in a roar during several scenes.— Their Royal Highnesses the. Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were present with a party, consisting of Ladies, and the two Priaces, brothers of her Royal Highness. They sat in the stage-box on the King's side, and seemed greatly amused with the performanrets. particularly the Critic, which was the afterpiece. The presence of their Royal ILgliness.es had not been noti. tied in the bills; but on entering the box they were instantly recognised, and greeted with the warmest expressiens of public attachment and respect. new comedy in three acts, called the Green Man, was produced on Saturday evening at this theatre. The following is a brief outline of the plot:— Sir George Squander (Mr. Barnard), nephew and heir expectant to Lord Rowcrojl (Mr. Foote), hag formed a matrimonial connexion with a lady, beneath hint in rank, though posessed of every other qualifica tion. His uncle, indignant at this match, has laid a design to effect his ruin, and to procure a divorce front Lady Squander (Mrs. Glover). This plan consists in urging the nephew, who has a very limited fortune, to acts of extravegance, and his wife to imprudent con duct. His principal agents in the scheme are Fungus (Mr. Russell), valet to Sir Sir G. Squander, and Close. j:st, an usurer, who lends money to the spendthrift baronet at •2 5 per cent. The design is in full opera tion at the opening of the play, when a mysterious personage appears on the scene, whom ao ene knows by any other name than that of the Green Man, derived from the colour of his habits; this charac ter, represented by Mr. Terry, turns out in the end, to be the muternal uncle of Sir George Squander, but in the interim acts the parts of a guardian angel to the young baronet ; he frustrates all the designs carrying on against him, exposes and humbles Lord Rotvertyl, and reconciles him to his nephew. Mrs. Gibbs was an intriguing pert lad'ys maid, the chere Annie of Fungus. Major Dumpling and Commissary [fibber, characters played by Messrs. Tokely and Con nor, do little more than win Sir George's money. --e I There is also a pleasant little love affair between Bertha (Miss E. Blanchard), sister of Lady Squander, and Craeldsy (Mr. Jones), a frenehitied Englishman, anti these constitute the mater el of the comedy. We can ' not award great praise to this dramatic producticn, which is avowedly a translation from the Frene . r. t and from a piece said to be extremely popular with the Pariaian public. The idea of 'he Green Mats is evidetit- ly taken from Burchell, in the Vicar of Wakefield,, and Mr. Terry's perfbrmauce of this part will establish itte f on our staae as a masterpiece of its kind.
