Consols opened this morning at 74i, being a quarter per Ceut. better than at the close of the market yes terday. This is owing to the reports of the War be tween Russia and Turkey beginning to be discredited, and to the impression produced by the expected reduc tions in oor a:my. A Jamaica Mail arrived this morning, bringing P,,,- pers to the 15th of June, from which we extract the fallowing : [FROM THE EMIL GAZETTE OF JUNE 9.] Letters from Panama recently received contain seve ral interesting particulars respecting the affairs of Peru. advice, from Lima, up to the 10th of March, it air pears that the Spanish Commander-in-Chief, General Serna, had been appointed Vice Roy, which has given great satisfaction to the inhabitants. In all the pro vinces of the south of Lima, and also In upper Peru the most perfect Laranoaly reigns, and no apprehensions were entertained from the troops of Chili. Tie inh a. bitants of Lima felt themselves superior to any attack of San Martin's army, the Chilian Commander having been roughly handled at Guacho, his late head-quarters, in au action with the Spanish troops, from which he was obliged to retreat upon Truxillo, having suffered a consi. therahle loss in nava ail. The advice, from Liana mention tlaeorrival at l'alhaoof a ship of immense value from Cal cutta, belonging to the Philipine company. She was fired upon by one of Lord Cochrane's squadron but got safe into p,art. The troops at Lima are represented to exceed 10 thousand men. about 8000 of them European veterans; aid to these 4000 European Spaniards, in the City of Li asa under arms ;. and as the whole of the Country ex cepting Truxillo was open, there was no danger forwant of flour. Accounts from St. Thomas state, that Puerto Cabello 'had fallen into the hands of the Independents, and that the Saphire and another British man of war bad pro. seeded for that part, to bring away the inhabitants. The Government of Chili has notified to General Bolivar that a 64 gun ship, and two brigs of war, had sailed to cruise off Cape Buoisaventera to intercept some vessels from OW Spain. We learn from Santa Makin that twelve regiments bars embarked for Cape Snows ?rotor: fist tiavaquil to join the forces there, and a.tack Quito on different points. The Paris papers which have arrived tl.is morning, are of a complexion to those previously re ceived, and wits.toot any new or striking feature. The Fgeneh Vocals, Five per Cents, were 85f. 95c. All the accounts from the Continent received since our last represent a war between Russia and Turkey as ine vitable. Letters from Frankfort, dated July 2S, say that many English alai French couriers passed through there; some proceeding to Vienna, and others to Peters burgh. The rnmours of war against Turkey now as sume a certain consistency. From Augsburg, July 20, we learn that the movements of the Austrian troops to the provinces bordering upon Turkey are confirmed by all the advises which hare arrived from that quarter. It is thought, that an Austrian Army will enter the Otto- man territory at the same time with a Russian force, in order to re-establish tranquillity, and to protect the Greeks. It is announced that • Manifesto sill be promptly promulgated. The aegociations between the Great Powers, which at present so iuteosely occupy the Diplomatists, relate to this object. An article from Vienna, dated July 17, says, Count de Loma, our In terouncio at Constantinople, who has hitherto been en ileavouring to render available the mediation of his Court, has now changed his tone, in consequence of the Porte having caused a Captain and five seamen in the Austrian service to be arrested, and their beads to be wrack off a About even the form of a trial. It is not doubted that this circumstance will induce our Court to depart from that system of neutrality which it appeared to ban adopted relatively to the differences between the i l Porte and Kasai& In corroooration of the above is the following extract of a private-letter from Neremberg, July 21. "It is asserted, that dl hopes of an adjust meat of the differences which ban arisen between the Ottoman Porte and Russia are vanished. The Divan even refused the mediation offered by the Internuncio of Austria, in the name of his Court. In this state of things, we daily expect that a manifesto on the part of the two Imserial Courts, relative to the affairs of Greece, will be promulgated. On the other hand, it appears that the Porte has solicited the intervention of France and England. It is doubted whether this step will be attended with any success, inasmuch as the Ottoman Government has taken no mmeares to put an end to the massacres, of which Con stantinople is the theatre." The Journal de Park wakes the following quotation from the Journal is Lyons of the 24th instant:—" Persons who are said is be well informed, speak of • Conveation already cos eluded, in virtue of which • great Sovereign of the North will be recognised as Protector of the Greek Confederation. The report of a Secret Treaty relative to the participation of Turkey, masa every amen mere ensmisteuey." Letters from the frontiers of Turkey, dated June 25, say, that the Dry of Tads has refused to comply with the invitadea which the Ports W addressed so the Barbary Stales, to seed desk ships at war lair the Art:Writer s r ba wariwril THE STATESMAN; against the Greeks. It is also added, that a similar refusal bad previously been given by the Puha of Egypt. In another of our columns we bare inserted another extract of a letter from the Courier, which, like that we quoted yesterday, is dated Paris, but, like that too, suspected to have been written in London. This last communication announces, not only that war is declared between Russia and Turkev,—intelligence for which we had been in some degree prepared—but that it was declared by the party from whom we should have least expected the decision,—by the Grand Seignor,—who already had more enemies than be could well encounter. This announcement, whether fa!se or true, may be taken as an incontestible intima tion of the feeling of the parties by whom it is made. —lt is another symptom of the disposition that prevails in a certain quarter to represent the Porte not in such a deplorAle or despirited a I condition es bad been imagined ; and it affords another proof of the jealousy entertained respect: ing the Russian ♦'news towar!s the East. Not withstanding what is related in the Paris pal ers of the Austrian Internuncio at Constantinople, who offered a mediation of his ('otrt, subsequently changing his tone, in consequence of the massacre of an Aus trian Captain and five seamen by the Turks and the inference in a French Ministerial pert that this out rage would probably cause the Austrian Court to de , pa-t from its system of neutrality ; and notwithstand ing the accounts from Augsburg, that an Austrian army was to cross the Turkish frontier at ode point, in concert with the Russian army which should cress it at another, it is to be observed that there Las hi therto appeared in the Austrian journals no change of tone relative to the Turks. The prejudice against the Greeks has been constantly expressed ; and no thing short of some recent arrangement between Aus tria and Russia as to the division of the territory they were to invade, is likely to produce an alter ation in the bias which the Court of Vienna has manifested, and which it is her policy to preserve. It is under this impression, we have no doub , that Lord WaLPOLS was sent to negociate with the Austrian Cabinet on some plan that should appease the present troubles without the interference of the peace-maker, Alexander. In these views the Court of France is also understood to concur but whatever plan may be sug gested, we trust that none will be pr,posed but vt hat has the emancipation of the Greeks for its basis. At present nothing harsh or hostile on the part of Eng land appears to be meditated ; on the contrary, it is understood that tit .—establishments of the navy as well of the army are about to be considerably reduced. It is no doubt, in the recollection of most of our evaders, that on the occasion of the King's to the Theatres, much Was sail en all sides reepecting patine audiences. (to the one hand it was as strenaouslw maintained that persons were sei.t int,' the pit, previ ous to the opening of the doors, in order to applaud his Niajesty, as on the other it was denied that any trickery of this nature was employe.!. Persons formed their opinion at the time according to what they heard, and as they possessed the facility of obtaining informa tion. The whole circumstances, however, gradually sack into oblivion, until the attention of the public was recalled to them by an article whit!) appeared i• The Time' a few days ago. This article eentain ed charges against Mr. Bodkin, a conspicuous *em ber of several charitable i•utit•tions in the metro polis. The nature of those charges will be best seen on a perusal of the article in question. On a subject so interesting to any one as this must be, we did not think it right to remain altogether silent ; bat we were unwilling to give an Exparte statement, especi ally as what was advanced appeared highly prejudi cial to the individual arraigned, and as is all probability a counter statement would shortly appear. We were not mistaken. A contradiction has been published, and we now present out readers with the affirmation and the denial, as well as the reply to the latter, and lea►e it to their descriniination a kedge between the parties. Though the articles are long, we are convinced that they will meet with attention, on account of their importance. The Times speaks with warmth and with confidence. For our own parts we cannot avoid expressing ear sur prise at Mr. Bodkin having become at all implicated in the imputation. We have ourselves had *cc*. sioaal intercourse with this Gentleman. and have always deemed him a nom •f honourable miss, and. as we thought. incapable of acting so unwoetly a part. Indeed he seldom evinced political feeling; and in the discharge of his public duties we have found him more exempt from any bias of that kind than seen in his &natio' usually are. For this reason we certainly MI aria disposed to put an estretnely favourable coo struetiost ea his statement, though otherwise we should have looked upon the charges as bearing an equivocal appearance. The denial with which they bare been met is peremptory and high toned, and in a isoosi derable degree satisfactory. Bat if the charges be undeserved it is but fair to suppose that The Times has been misled by its seal for truth. and the public cause, for we can hardly imagine the conductor of that journal to have been prejudiced by any real or imaginary difference, which, i• a political point of view, may have occurred between himself and the Members of the Meudicity Society. Very alarming intelligence has bees received at Ma drid by the arrival at Cadiz of lialtod States' mauls, conceraiog the pommies, of the Nattier& ostffirra Final. The letters state the segtoes bad tereW at IA Osayra and at Geadahrtivil ; that they had pro claimed the indepesdesce of sieves; that a bOble massacre. similar to that is fit.

Russia is at present under no alarm with respect to Persia, haying fifty-four thou sand men along that part of Ler frontiers whicl: border upon that kingdom. It may be remembered, that it was while the French occupied Moscow, that the last treaty of peace was signed between Russia and Persia. —(Cor rier.) Angostura papers to the 31st of May have brolosht the official accounts of the captor- of the city of Ca raccas by the Insurgents on the 14th of that month. They are dated tstianape, May 17. and addressed to the Nice -President. Two thousand men are said to bars joined the victors. Letters have also been received from Trinidad to the 14th of Jane, which make no mention of the reported retaking of Caraccas bv the Royalists. These letters state that the city of Coro surrendered to the Insurgents on the !sib of May. The Prussian Government had thought it expe dient to attribute the plot lately entered into by Mr. Von Headman to establish the Spanish Constitution in Prussia, to mental alienation. By so doing the ne cessity (4 a public trial is avoided, and nothir.; tran spires of the real extent of the conspiracy. Extract of a letter, dal Malta, Jnne 14:'—" De spatches have arrived directing all the troops to be sent up which can be spared from this garrison. These, however, amount to but few, namely, the four companies cf the 36th regiment, which were left be hind ; and they embark to day for Cefalonia, on hoard the Cambrian frigate. Two regiments more are daily expected from England ; but the übjtct is not All that we know is, that barracks for troops are fitting elp here." 1 It is understood that the reduction in the Army is now settled, and will amount to about 13,001) men (notwithstanding Mintsters opposed every motion for reduction this session), and it is said to have now received the King's approbation. What that of the Navy is to be is not mentioned, but it is expected to be considerable. Reductions in the Ordnance are also determined on, and some of the latter have com -1 silenced. The corps to be reduced in the Army are reported to be the ISib and 19th Regiments of Dra goons; two troops of all the other regiments of Ca valet, except the Life Guards and Blues; and two Companies of all the regiments of Infantry. The Queen wax much indisposed at the Theatre on Monday evening, but her Majesty could not be per suaded to retire till the play was over. Her Majesty continued very unwell during the night,but was much bettrr yesterday evening. l't rtLic HA•LTH AT Ltunates.---The Dysentery is said to be as formidable and as fatal as ever at Lime rick. On account of the sickly state of the prisons, twelve persons under green-wax penalties have been liberated from confinement; and the debtors in the Marshalsea have petitioned for a Committee to remote them, and, as they express it, to interpose between them and the grave. We have it from authority, that the Circuits are all to go out on Monday, the 27th of August next, and as at present arranged, we apprehend it will be of great advantage to the tenantry and country gentlemen throughout the kingdom, to have them to begin at shat poems of sim peer.—(Dot has piper.) The case of Mr. Samuel Walker, who Las been com mitted to the House of Correction for obstruelfug the Ili; bray, by preaching in the street of Ashton-under line, is we find, not so singular as we supposed. By' an article in Pie Alfred, we learn that two other street or field preachers, Messrs. Littlejohn. and Moase, are now in Devon County Bridewell, to which they we e committed for three months, or till a fine of five pounds each was paid. Their offence was preaching in the vicinity of Torrington, not in any house. The Hon. East India Company's ship Clyde, from Calcutta, arrived off Teignmouth on Sunday evening ; sailed from Colombo March IS; left there the Hon. East India Company's ships Richmond and Eclipse: from St. Helena, June 4 ; left there his Majesty's ships Vigo, Eden, and Brazen, and the Abundance store-ship : also the Hon. East India Company's ships Waterloo, Vansittart, and James Sibbald : the Eden was expected to sail on the sth of June. The Clyde spoke, on the 10th of June, his Majesty's ship Plea sant, at the island of Ascension. It is a curious fact, and which we mention from the best authority, that on the morning subsequent to the celebration of his Majesty's Coronation, it was found, that, during the night not a single delinquent had been committed to the Police Office in Edinburgh. Such an occurrence was altogether unprecedented, and affords the strongest proof of the loyalty and peaceable conduct of the population of the metropolis of Scotland on this oceasion.—(Glasgow Courier.) A steam-boat, of the American twin steeies, war launched on Saturday week, in beautiful style, from Mr. Browse's shipbuilding-yard, Dundee. in presence of an immense crowd of spectators, attracted by so great a novelty. This singularly-constructed vessel is intended to ply at the ferry of Dundee; and has been most appropriately named the Union—not only from the circumstance of two boats being joined together, but in reference to the fact, that, like a moveable bridge, it will unite the hitherto disjoined counties of Fife and Forfar. The length of the deck is ninety tht ee feet, the breadth thirty-four, the depth eight and a half, the length of keel seventy-eight, and the dis tance between the boats eleven and a half. This ves sel is to be propelled by two steam-engines o: fifteen horses power each, and the paddle-wheel is to revolve in the centre between the boats. There are two iron helms, one at each extremity ; and the stopeodoes an. chine is to fly like a shuttle, without requiring PI be turned round. it is believed to be the only media Britain built on this principle, except the one wig lately plied on the Mersey, at Liverpool, and whisk from some defect in the construction, has been hid aside.

Thebe arranremews will be carried into effect under the superintendence of Lieutenant-Colonel Dixon, the officer cott•tuandire• the Artillery department. His Majesty will then proceed along I..andport-street and High-street, in iris barourlte, down to the new Sallyport. This is a door-way which opens to the King's stairs, and where none but pri sons in his Majesty's service are permitted to embark. As soon as his Majesty enters the Royal barge, ano th er Royal salute will be red from the lisstion before-u v. - tioiied. His Majesty will be received at the Sallyport by a guard of honour from the 10th Regiment, consist ing of a Captain, two Suftalterns, and 2041 privates, with the King's colours and a band of music. Upon these occasions the colours of the Regiment are always ri ptrsrded by the superior Ensign of the King. The troops in the garrison will be formed with their right adjoining the left of the guard of honottr,in the follow ing order 10th Berisnent—Colonei Stewart. Royal Marine Artillery—Col. Sir IL Williams, K. C. R. Royal Marines. Fire Companies of tlie 150 Kerinsent—Col. Davison. They are to line the street on each side from the _ Sallyport along High-street. and Landport-scree: to the landport-rate, with their files at such distance as will enable dicta to occupy the whoie way. The Royal sap pers and 31iners arc also to be in attendance. Lieut.- ( 01. Linderren's Corps of South-west Hants Yeomanry Cat airy have rece:%ed orders to form in High -street near the Theatre, a here they are to wait for such orders as may be riven them. Lient.-Col. Sir Richard Williams has made arranze- 'tient, for passing the Royal Marine Artillery over fro,9 Gosport, when necessary, to Fort hlonckton. An or derly man front the Artillery is iu attendance eve!, morning, at the Lieutenant Governor's Office, and wi.i continue so to attend until his Majesty has embarked, as upon this department devolves the honour of firio.c a Royal Salute shortly after his Majesty's getting into the harbour. On the arrival of his Majesty, the whole of the men of the different corps will be under arms, with the ex ception of those sick in hospitals and in barracks. 'f he harbour will b e crowded with yachts and boats of every description, and if the day proves favourable, the scene will be of the most magnificent description. It has been raining here incessantly all this day, with a S. W. win.l, a wind exactly opposite to that n Lich Majesty wants. But it is thought that the wind is now - likely to shift about to South-east. There are several versions here of his Majesty,s intended line of voyage after he shall have passed the Needles. It is said that he is very likely is go into Plymouth se view the famous Breakwater, and if the wind do not serve to bear him round Land's-end and up the Irish Channel without muck difficulty; it is supposed that be will disembark at Plymouth, and go by laud to Holyhead. On the other heed if be be able to make the Isle of Anglesea by water, it is supposed that he will stop there for a day or two, in order to give time for his proper reception at the Pigeon-house. The latter report has been men tioned here on good authority, and it appears by no means unlikely. The Royal Marine band is to embark on hoard the Active, to accompany and enliven the squadron. The Camelion cutter has received orders to go to Guernsey, and of course is not to form part of the squadron as was first intended. So strictly enforced is the order against the admission of strangers on board of any of the fri gates or sloops of the squadron, that even the Admiral . of the station, Sir .1. H. Whitslsed, cannot set.,] his own son. D[Ptrtrtttt of THE KING FOE IBlLATlP.—Yester day morning, about half-past 11 o'clock, his Majesty left his Palace, in Pall-mall, on his way to Ireland. His Majesty went in his plain dark travelling car riage, attended by Lord Waves as the Lord in Wait ing, escorted by a party of the 14th Light Dragoons. The King proceeded as far as Kingston with his own horses, and from there to Portsmouth with post horses. His Majesty was to embark and dine on board the Royal yacht.

In the mean time his Majesty is expected to arrive on the tub of next month, at the seat of the Mar quess of Anglesea is this neighbourhood, and the prim pal persons for sane miles round are to meet on Monday next, to prepare a suitable Address for the occasion. It is nadeestood, that his Majesty, after staying a day er two with the Marquess, will enter this harbour, and come to anchor at a short distance from the shore, bet will not land. His Majesty's intention is to wait the return of Su , B. Blessalleld. who, u soon as all the arrangemeamikes ils Majesty's reception are completed, will came off laaumsdiately is communicate the fact, and his Majettee yacht, followed by the Royal squadron, will then sail for the Bay of Dublin, without farther delay.
