Dutch Papers of July 4 have been received, from which we extract the following DECREE. THE 11.1101:E, JOLT 2. Ilia Majesty h.ts signed the fo!lnwing Resoluf on : We, Wit.t.t.tst, by the Grate of God, &c. &e. &c. Seeing* Report of our Minister of Foreign Affairs, relative to a letter addressed to him by our .liniater Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary to the Papal See, accompanying the Papal (lull livered to him by the Cardinal Secretary of State, dated Rome, the Bth of January, 1825, in which the Year of Jubilcc extended to th= whole of Roman Catholic Christendom ; seeing the Reports of the Director• General of the Affair@ of the Roman Catholic Wm. ship ; desiring to enable all the rest of or Roman Catholic sub jects to make use of the ecclesiastical favours and privileges ark red by the Papal Bull to all Roman Catholics, conformably to the firs of the organic articles promulgated by the law of 18 Germinal, in the year 10, Have resolved— Art. I. We give our convent to the publishing, poatiag up, cir culating. and observing the Papal Bull. dated Rome, 8 Co'ante of January 1025, and accordingly the Royal Plied to the said Bull; but on the express consideration that we are by no means to be understood as having thereby approved of the clauses, formula, and expressions of the said Bull, which are, or may be, at variance with the Constitutional principles of our kingdom, respecting the freedom of religious worship in general, and in particular with equal protection guaranteed by the 191st Article of the fundamen tal law to ;ill the existing religious communities ; with the laws of our kingdom ; and lastly, with the ancient principles and usages constantly observed in religious matters, and with the franchises of the Netherlands Roman Catholic Church; and that especially the clause of the said Bull, occurring in the 13th and 14(h pages of the copy printed at Rome, at the press of the A postolic Chamber, and handed by the Cardinal Secretary of State to our Ambassador there; which clause begins with the words " remobstantihus de imlttlgentits," and ends with the words " ca.lerisque contrariis quibuicumque," cannot be executed and followed in any other manner, or in any other sense, than in consonance with the above stated limitation. An. 2 and 3 lay down the manner in a hich the Dirctor•Ge neral of the Mffiirs of the Roman Catholic Worship, and the other public officers whom it concerns, and to Kurile for the execution of this resolution, and for making it generally known.

It appears that the death of King Jour.; of Por tugal was known at Rio on the above date, and the usual ceremonies of mourning, &c. had been ordered at the Im perial Court. These r apers also contained the Brazilian version of the naval engagements up to the sth March. It will be seen from the subjoined extracts that the accounts of the land ore..ations come down to• later data than those from Buenos Ayres. In the last mail from that port the last accounts were dated the pat March. From the Diarin Flamini-ate of A Kit 27.] WAR IN Tilt SOUTH. • ('snip near S. Francisco de Paula, 23d March, 1826.

Thollll%ltia. it seems, wrote to one his friends in Entre Rim, onirringlloo ounces to be delivered to and directing him to collect as many men as possible, and to pay them at the rate of a dollar per day, on condition that they should liberate our prisoners who were in that quarter, and who amounted to 19i0 men. This person succeeded in effecting this important service. and had the good fortune to kill or take prisoners all the guard which watched them. The prisoners armed them arises and joi.ted the troops which hail liberated them, saying they would march against Lavalhega. This news is not yet officially confirmed, but it was received from an officer who arrived here from Santa Theresa. Our General has marched towards Belein with 200 U continental troops, to protect the prisoners and the people of Entre Illus. It would appear that this it really the case; for the General certainly marched with all the woos which he could mus ter. It is alas: confirmed by letters which have been received here at S. Francisco, and which repeat the tame particulars. Another circumstance in our favour is the dissension %Inch has taken place between D. Inlet° and hatalhega, which has risen to such a height that the latter has ordered the former to resign his command to La Torre. The troops, instead of foliowing l.a Torre. adhered to D.

The General hail already ma-ched with the column of LSento Cones to meet the prisoners, who were said to amount to above 1,000 men, in order to march with them against Lavalliega. We have re ceived orders to march with the division to guard Jaguarao, the point on which the conttat begins. Political reasoners frequtntly attach too much impor tance to Legislative measures, as remedies for the evils which occur in the social system. They fancy, that a Par liament, by passing a Bill for the encouragement of a par ticular branch of trade, can, by the simple fact of passing the Act, produce that effect which is the object of their deliberations. They do not recollect that there is a power far superior to the supposed omnipotence of Parliament — a power which cannot be overcome, and from which there is no possibility of escape. There is a natural course of political events, as settled and as fixed, and as little liable to derangement, as the system of the universe itself ; and it is as vain to attempt a change in that natural course as to think of turning the course of the heavenly bodies. Nor does this lead to any system of fatalism in poli tics. Because we cannot control events, we arc not therefore to give up all thoughts of amelioration ; and the vdry schemes of amelioration which we may devise, are themselves a part of the General system : they arise from the general spirit of the age, and help either to carry on the natural train of events, or to check it when it tends to run into u s eless or noxious extravagancies. Now, in this scheme of events, legisla tive enactments can only be considered as a portion of the general causes which co-operate in producing or removing evils. Legislative enactments did not invent the press nor the steam-engine ; legislative enactments did not give Britain her superiority ; and legislative enactments will not destroy it. Rad Statesmen do not attempt to force nations into a new state; they meiely take advantage of all the favourable circumstances in the state of things as they actually exist, in order to improve the preient system, rather than to establish a new. It is our object to spew, in these general remarks, that the hopes which we may safely entertain of improvement in our national condition, are• not to be looked for entirely in the enactments of a Parliament ; that the Parliament itself, if it acts wisely, will only follow the course of events, and will rest satisfied with preventing any obstructions to 'that course, without attempting to direct it; and that laws themselves, in short, are only valuable as they encourage industry and knowledge, the only sources either of individual or of national prosperity. The late con vulsion in the commercial world is as much the result of unalterable causes as the falling of a stone to the ground ; for the principles of the human mind are as fixed in the aggregate as those of the material world. Men always have run, and always will run into excess, when long-continued restrictions are removed; and that excess always has occa sioned, and always will occasion, an extraordinary depres sion to balance an extraordinary elevation. We have less to hope in the new Patliament from the laws which it may pass, than from the unfits which may be elicited and dif fused in consequence of its investigations. A few farmers like YOUNG would be of more service to England, at pre ' sent, than a dozen legislators. CITY, ‘WEDNEsoiv EVENING. There were considerable transactions in the English Funds this morning, and an elasticity was observable in them during the day. Consols opened at the closing price of yesterday, 7U a, which they i proved upon, and left off at 711 i I, at which quotation large bar cai•os were completed. The greatest ansicy prevailed on 'Change to ascertain the state tithe Quarter's Revenue; but nothing transpired on the sub;ez t authentic enough to affect the price of Stocks. _ In the Foreign Market, Colombian and Mexican Stock wcte better: the funner opened at 27. 8, and advanced full 1 per cent.; thu latter, 6 per cent., are full la per cent. higher, and may b quoted at 4213. There seemi a general opinion, that the al inns re lative to the disturbance in Colombia are not of that descript it is which should call fur such a depreciation in the Colombian or Mexican Funds, and that they are like 4 to improve. IRISH ELECTIONS. lrnom A CORRESPONDENT.] You have no doubt perc, ived the zeal with which some of our elections are contested, and the fervour with which the partisans of each Candidate are animated. You have also, and no doubt with regret, perceived that the combats have not been confined to the brawling of the hustings, or to the noisy though harmless effusions by which popultr assemblages have been ever distinguished, and which are at mice the characteristic, and form in a great degree the protection, of popular government. Blood has been shed, if nut viciously most unfortunately, at more than one of those meeting!, which should be the scene of civic contest, of peaceful struggle, in the exercise of those rights and privileges which the law confers, and which the Constitution has ever ssnedrined. During the pre sent season of exasperation, whilst the passions of the conflicting parties are still at their height—whilst criittination and recrimina tion are bandied about, and uttered and retorted with an impetuo sity which cannot stop to reason, and which identifies idle con•rs diction with decisive refutation, —it would be at once improper Mid unsafe, it would be incurring personal responsibility and sporting with truth, to venture at soy thing like an accurate statement of these melancholy and degrading occurrences. A catastrophe of this description is particularly to be deplored on account of the conclusion which, without any extraordinary violation of the rules of reasoning, tray be deduced from it, and of those specious argu ments, which, founded anti based upon such melancholy experience, may be put into the mouths of the opponents of that system of re presentation which we believe to be the best, and which, if they do not enable its adversaries to deny its utility altogether, may still appear to justify them in circumscribing its action and limiting its existence to those districts which are better ad toed to its recep tion, and where that which was meant as a political blessing should not operate as the signal of (Scully strife and the harbinger of b'ood. The verdict returned upon the bodies of two of the individuals I who lost their lives in Kerry, has just reached me and to any person who considers the mode in which the melancholy duty ts petformed in England, who selects that mode as a standard, and who refers to it as to a rule from which it is at once unsafe and unwise to depart, thy oniition of the Jar. must at first sight ap pear a little stra . ‘ge. It finds in substance that the deceased were killed by the firing of the police and rifle brigade, under the orders of certain magistrates (naming them), and that such onleis were unnecessary aid unjustifiable. To my limited understanding it appeal that if a fellow-creature is d . e.gzgLitfiais lite in ammo quene• AM maw atoncelttrtttiall, a unjust' a id e , suc h act , upon the part of the aggressor, amotims to wilful murder, and scch is the meaning which I attach to the verdict. The report of the state of the Duke of York yesterday was, " His Royal Highness has had a very good night, and is going on very comfortably." Yesterday morning, soon after ten o'clock, 11Sr. Secretary Canning left his residence in Downing -street, on a visit to Mr. Planta, at his scat at Fairlight, near Hastings, Mr. Under-Secretary Planta having previously left town on Monday. It is rumoured that the Earl of Morley will succeed the late Earl of Chichester as Postmaster-General. Mss. &ANIL-I'lllS lady, whose vocal talents are still fresh in the r2membranceot every lover of song, has once more appeared before the public, and we trust with a better hope of reward than crowned her last essay at the Argyll Rooms, which was a total failure. She has been engaged by the proprietor of the New Vauxhall, White Conduit-gardens, at a liberal salary per night, and made her first appearance there on Tuelday even ing. She sang two of her favourite ballads, " Wapping 01(1 Stairs," and " Young Love," from the opera of M.P., or the Blue Sloeldng. Time may have " thinned her flowing hair," but it has committed little havoc with her voice, which was not only sweet but powerful. She exe cuted some of her cadences with great elegance, though at first she seemed rather nervous; however, the warm plau dits of the audience, which was very respectable, soon re stored her to her wonted confidence. The other entertain ments were of a very agreeable 'description. • • PARTIES. The Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury gave an elegant en tertainment, on Tuesday, at their house in Hanover-square, to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester and a distinguished party, among whom were the Marquis and Marchioness of Lon donderry, the Goisag , r 31srchionesa of Salisbury, the Marquis of Iluntly, the Earl of Shaftesbury, ready Thynne, Lady Georgians and Miss Wellealey, Mr. Seahright, he.

Lord Chichester was born on the 28th April, 1756, and conse quently was in the 71st year of his age. He was called up by writ of summons to the House of Peers, as Baron Pelham, in Jure during the lifetime of his father, whom he succee ded in the Earldom on the Bth Jan. lie married, in 1801, Lady Mary IfeniiettaJuliana Osborne, the daughter of Francis filth Duke of Leeds, by whoth he has left several children. He is succeeded in his titles and estates by his son Henry Thomas Lotd Pelham, now third Earl of Chichester. Ilk Lordship had filled several distinguished situations in the Government of this country, and had invariably maintained the pures• and most respectable character as a politician, as well as an English Nobleman. As Mr. Pelham, in the House of Commons, he never failed to command respect. Ile commenced his official career as Principal Secretary for Ireland during the Vicemyalty of the late Duke of Portland, and afterwards filled the same office with great ability at the critical period of the memorable rebellion in that country, when the present Marquis of Camden was at the head of the Irish Govern ment. In the Administration of Mr. Addington he was Principal Secretary of Sate for the Home Department, which office his ill state of health obliged him to resign ; and on his succeeding to the Earldom of Chichester, he was appointed joint Pos . master-Gmteral, and continued to hold that situation, and the office of Postmaster. General, to the period of his death. ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC. The last Monthly Concert fur the season of this Institution was given at the llanover.square Rooms, yesterday morning, and was attended by all the female part of the /mat toe now in London. This occasion was, according to the usual custom, taken fur the pur pose of distributing rewards to those pupils, rho during the last year have most distinguished themselves in the various cenartments of Harmony and Composition, Singing and Instrumental Improve ment. Rut in order t the betur understanding of this part of the sabject, as well as to the objects of rh. Ir s:itution and its present state. we think we cannot do beam than give the statement of the Noblemen and-lientlemen of the Committee, on the present occa sion, in they own words:— " The Committee of the Royal Academy of Music have great pleasure in announcing to the Subscribers, and to the Friends of the Institution, that the proAress of the Pupils in every department of the science of Music fully justifies the sanguine expectations they have on various occasions expressed. They trust the per formance of this day aril p ove tt a the'r judgment is not misled by a blind partiality for au tst.ibli,liment to which so much of (her attention has been devoted. " It is with peculiar satisfaction that the Committee announce to the friends of the Institution that the talents of the pupils have now become, in some degree, a source of emolument to the establish. ment and to the pupils themselves. Twelve have been engaged during the present season in the orchestra of the Opera house ; and there have been few public concerts for wide!' the services of the pupils have not been requested. " The time now fast approaches when several of' the pupils will leave the Academy, and enter on the duties of a profession fur which their education renders them in an eminent degree qualified. Those who are gifted with talent to become public performers will no doubt soon force themselves into general notice; but there are others, no less meritorious, although not so fortunately endowed, who must be contented with the less brilliant situation of teaching. These the Committee do in a most peculiar manner recommend to the friends of the Institution, and they do so with the perfect con viction tha: they will, from the regular and systematic education which they have received, and from their habit of teaching in the Academy, do honour to the Institution as musicians, whilst the s. rid attention which has been paid to their morals and conduct will render them worthy of all the confidence which the most anxious parent may feel disposed to bestow. To families residing in the country, where good musical education cannot be procured, se. venal of the female pupils are well qualified to become musical go. vernesses, to teach the theory of music, singing, and the piano. forte, on the principles of the eminent Professors by whom they have themselves been taught. " The Committee have had a most difficult task to execute in the selection of the compositions which will this day he performed. Neves]. pieces of equal, some perhaps of superior, merit have been composed. Circumstances connected with the pupil, and the pro gress lately male, have decided the choice of the Committee. " The sante difficulty and tho same circumstances haveguided the Committee in the distribution of the prizes. It is with satisfaction the Comtni:tee announce there are many pupils In the Academy whose talent, progress, and attention deserve a public mark of their approbation.' • Soon after two o'clock, her Royal Highness the Princess Au gusta entered the Directors' hos, accompanied by several of the Nobility, end conducted by Sir John Murray, Bart., Sir Gore Ouseley, and Sir (lcorge Clerk, Members of the Committee, and the performance, agreeably to the following bill of fare, Mune diately commenced : PART I.—Symphony, " La Heine de France" (Haydn); Quar tetto, Misses Ilefichanibils Waisoh, Oran• and A. Sapio, " Sento in Fe to," Il Matrinionio iieura(s- , (flistratro6) ; Concerto, Violir, Brageove (Rode); Duette,. Misses Childe anti Broad! urst, " Lasetami, 11 Tancredi (Rossini); Fantasia, Au clair de hs lune," Piano Forte, Miss Foster (Moschelles); Aria, Miss Wat son," Sseglier fra mile uu core" (Miss Watson), with Orchestral Accompaniments by C. Lucas •, Fantasia, Piano Forte, by parti cular cledrc, Miss Dickens, with Orch-stral Atecur-paniments and Chorus (Beethoven). PART IT...—OVenlire. MS. (C. S. Packer); Welt. ed Aria, Miss Bellchambers, Semplicetta tortorrila (Miss liellchambers). with Orchestral Accompaniments by C. Lucas ; Variations on " The Fail of Paris," Piano Forte, W. Holmes (Iloselieles) ; Finale to the First Act of II Tancretli, the principal parrs by Misses liellehanibers, Watson, Childe, and Broadhurst, A. Sapio and E. Sparrtioletti (Rossini). Ilaydn's symphony, " La Heine de France," was most correctly given, and did the boys great credit, for the very delicate manner in which the second end third movements were done. This was followed by Cintarora's miartetto, tram 11 Malrimonio Segeeto, "Sento in Petto," and was mast ably sustained by Misses Ikll - Watson, and Grant, and Sir. A. Sapio. The richness of voice of both the first and the last names was particularly conapi. cuous. Rode's concerto was delightfully performed by young Blagrove on the violin, and elicited considerable applause. Ros sini's ductto, " Lasciami„" from Taracredi, was most effectively given by Misses Childe and Broadhurst. and we hail the former of these young ladies as likely to become a first-rate concert singer. " Au chile de Is lune," by Miss Foster, on the piano -torte, was, given with that effect which we venture to premise can only be done by pupils of the first talent, and instructed by the composer (Moscheles) himself. The air that followed, "Saeglier fra ntille un core," is the composition of Miss Watson, and was sung by her in a very pleasing manner. The orchestral accomiianiaimis to this song, coniposed by Charles Lucas, one of the students. are of a most pleasing description ; and the tasteful execution of the vio loncello part by himself was much admired. The first Act eloped with (by particular desire) Beethoven's grand font, is slid chorus, " Ah nel cor mi scum un foco," and it is impossible to withhold our iust tribute of almiration at rite very superior style of Miss Dick e rs oa the piano-tilte; she is the pupil of Mr. Moscheles, and although her and Miss Foster, just mentioned, are not yet ii c , teen years of age, they are both sub-professors in the Academy. The second Act commenced with an overture composed b,t• . Packer, a boy about eighteen or nineteen yew, of age, and stit : . will bears comparison with those of names of considerable CIO: brity. The recitative and air, composed and sung by Miss Bill. chambers, " Semplicetta tortorells" (with harp obligato and a. chestral accompaniments by Lucas). was a most happy eff.rt, ati4 elicited great applause. Young llohnes. a p ro n g ( a his Maps 7, played kloschelat's variations on the " Fall of Paris" in a mare lay style, and does Mr. Potter, his master, the greatest credit. Tha Concert concluded with the ft nok to the first Act of Tancrrdi, i n which the quartetto, " fir infelice afretti midi" wes tnost fully sung by Misses Bellchanabers, Watson, Grant, and 31r. Sapto. At the conclusion of the Concert, Sir John Murray proceeded to announce the re w ar d s t o th e s uccessful Candid a tes, whn basic , made their obeisance in the Orchestra in rotation. were then eni: ducted into the Directors box, where they received, from her Royil nighties* the Princess Augusta, the awards so mane. The you r . ladies who were so fortunate as to obt a in medals, havin g t h e n pitted round their necks, suspended by elegant scarlet sari ri4ands, the names of the successful aspir..nts were announced at follows PRINCIPAL PIANO-FORTE PRlZES.—:hies Die:enc, medal; 3liss Foster, silver medal; Miss Palen, for general go.t conduct, silver medal ; Miss Watson, singing, silver medal; 1i hl Bellchambera, progress in harmony and composition. 3 leer med a l Miss Orant, for progress in singing, the second medal ; tier, for progress on the piano. forte, the second medal ; 31i•s Broad, burst, for progress on the harp, the second medal ; 3liss Watson. for harmony and composition, the second medal. To Misses Childe, A. Jarvis. and Prescott, for general improvement and al. tention to their studies, books were awarded. Boys.—Charles Lucas, for general good conduct and inprovi. meet, silver medal ; Charles S. Packer, for harmony and compe,i, tion, silver medal ; W. H. Holmes, for instrumental perform:tre e , the silver medal, and for harmony and composition, the s-ro r ,d medal; John Howard, for instrumental performance, the second medal ; to Masters Dorrel, !Birdie, and Blagrove, fur room is their various studies, silver pencil-cases. As soon as her Royal Highness had gone through the arduoes task of delivering these numerous rewards, the orchestra, vocals's! instrumental, performed " (fad save the King," amidst the sp. plmse of one of the most elegant audiences we ever witnessed, fou r . sixths of which were females. IVe have great pleasure in recording, that on Tuesday eve n i ng the Noblemen and Gentlemen of the committee received a comit;u. ni;ation from her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta, ing her wish that the whole or the cost of the medals and pn.: for this occasion should he at her expense, in addition to her uth r donations to tt.e Institution. It is impossible not to notice the unceasing anxiety of the Nnble. men and Gentlemen of the Committee in the object tltey have a'.

Some da)s ago, as a gentleman was passing on the Dun• rermline road near Torryburti, be discovered the hotly of a man suspend, d from a tree by the wayside. The horror str•ck traveller promptly unloosed the fatal cord, with which the infatuated person had sought refuge from Ins nnsseries. Every effort to restore animation was fruitless. It proved to be the body of a young man whom Mr. Beer ridge of Knockhouse bad dismissed from his service for squandering, in company of sortie dissipated companions, a sum of money he had beet, entrusteu with by his master to c irry to Dunfermline. His relations having very naturally evinced their displeasure, and giving him no encourage• ment to live with them, despair and remorse had driven the misguided youth to commit the shocking act.—Culerie dunian Mercury'. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday last, a little girl, about 17 months old, granddaughter of Mr. Tinker, who keeps the toU-house at Broughton bridge, was poisoned by drinking s quantity of what is called black ashes--a solution of highly causiic alkali, obtain. d from the bleachers, and frequently ustd in washirc. an I for other domestic purposes. It appears that Air. Tinker's housekeeper hail incautiously left in the yard a small quantity id' the liquid in a can, from which the child usually took its meals. In a short time afterwards she heard it crying violently, and on goingito the place, found the poor little ercature, with the can in its hand, and its lips blistered with the effects el the corrosive liquor, of which it had evidently beet' drinking. Surgical aid was promptly obtained, but the child died on the following day, atter sulfcrirg great pain. The occurrence of such scedents shows the necessity for a more general ditfuslon of chemical knowled;e.
