Letters and Papers were yesterday received from Greece to the 10th instant, conveying intelligence highly favour able to the mew of Greek independence. The Taegrerfo Greco gives the funeral oration pronounced over the body of Lord Byron. This Paper also states, that union ani mated tbetouneils and operations of the Greeks. Among the leading puragraphs of recent news it is affirmed, that " the accounts front all parts of the Morel arc of the most coneuLetcry - description, and that all the dissentions seem ending in concord, and in a general re-organization." In confirmation of this information, a private letter, dated title Jenne, from a very respectable quarter at Tripolitza, announces that Colueotroni bad sent positive orders to his son, who had the command of Napoli di Ramania, to deliver up that fortress to the Greek Government; and that Colocotroni himself, Pietro Bay, and some others, were to leave Tripolitza on the Fah, to make their peace with the Government, and give their cordial co-ore - ration for the benefit of the common cause. The arrival or part of the loan at Zante had raised the most sanguine expectations. No portion had been paid over to the Go vernment. The Commissioners were waiting for instruc tions ftomEngland. Arrangements had been made for the ratification of the lean, and for securing the payment of the interest. A letter front Prince Nlavrocordato, the Greek President, to Mr. Eowring, dated idissolonghi, June 4, re prevents the Greeks to be in a state of confidence and seen ety. The preparations of die Turks excited no alarm among li die North the attempted incursions hail been re:re'led, and the E,'ytian expedition was not dreaded in fee Sor:11. At Zeituni, in Thessaly, the Turkish en eatnpment did not exceed 4,000 men, and Omer Paella had not titivated inward.' the coast of Livailia. In Sea firs, to which the Turks had looked for great aid, none hid been given. Upon the whole, the Prince speaks with setisfaction of the prospects of his countrymen. The late ness of the season, and the termination of the dissentions .mong the military chiefs, undoubtedly augur well for Greete. The resources of the Ottoman Government are , drying rip, and itspower is withering. The very insurree fern they have to suppress takes from them the means of so eleitr!!. The Turkish revenue was, in a great measure, drawn front the Greeks. The wider, therefore, the scope of Greek independence, the more diminished must be the ability to chtumscribe it. We have, since writing the above, received advices from l'lrfu to the 21st of Juuc, bringing us important intelli gence with respect to the lodgement of the Greek Loan at Zante. On the l9tji instant a proclamation was issued by fire loniantlennte„-deelaringshat sheds:cresol the (heeLGo •etnmeut, for depositing money within the lonian territory, t be a violation of the neutrality which it was their de termination to maintain. The lonian Government will not soillir its shores to be used as a depot for money or warlike ..ores by either of the cmtentling parties, and it denounces the full penalty of the existing law: against such of its subjeets as shill allow the loan to be deposited with them. lithe ofibnders be aliens, they will be banished. This Proclamation is, to say the least, founded on a very strict construction of the principles of neutrality. If the lonian Sznate are right, the British Government must have given the Porte just cause of-war in suffering the loan to be raised iu this country ; for surely it will not be argued, that it is more criminal to take care that the money was properly applied, than it was, in the first instance, to raise the loan. During the late Spanish war, the tortes openly raised looney in England, and no one dicained that it was a violation of the strict neutrality his Aiajesty's Ministers professed. Why, then, should this objection be now taken' against . the.Greeka? The attempt to confound "money ', a nd warlike stores" will ant avail the lonian Senate; not' that we know of any international law which pro hibits the supply of warlike stores by neutrals, to con tending parties, who may choosJ to purchase tlwm.— But if money is now to be declared contraband, it will be necessary to inquire into the character of every bill of exchange drawn for or upon the subjects of every belligerent power, and ofered for payment in the neutral territory. Besides, as yet the loan has got become the pro perty of the Greeks. It belongs to British subjects ; and it is only while it remains their property that it is to be deposited at Zante or Cerigo. We are afraid that this hasty and over scrupulous interference of the lonian Senate will have the effect of putting the Greeks and their creditors to considerable inconvenience. The de cree of the legislative body, which we annex below, will give the utmost satisfaction, as to the disposition of the Greeks themselves, with respect to the loan. Not a shilling is to be applied to cover former expenses. The whole is to be dedicated to the future charges of the struggle. The care which Colonel Stanhope as cribes to the Greek Legislature, respecting the appropria tion of public money, is strikingly exemplified in the ful ness of the terms of the law, and in the obvious anxiety to prevent the smallest portion of the money from being ap plied to any purposes different from those for which it was borrowed. The following is the Proclamation of the lonian Senate:— his If ighness, the President, and the Senators of the United States of the lonian Wands : Ilia Excellency, the Lord High Commissioner of his Majesty the Supreme Protector, ha., by a note, dated this day, communicated to the Senate a printed document, drawn up in the form of a Pro clamation or Decree, superscribed, " The Provincial Government ,of Greece ;" dated from " Argos, 27th April, lat," and signed biseveral individuals, who appear to be invested with a public or olSeial character, in which document, besides the notice that a loan has been contrac ted, and that the proceeds are to be employed in military operations, there is the following article :—" The numey shall remain deposited in Zamie or Cerlo." The Government of these States cannot for a moment allow a ' declaration of this kind to remain uknoticed, from whatever foreign power or authority it may come. It can never acknowledge, by Its silence, that any foreign antho. why is entitled, or shall presume, to dispose of any par: of its territory, for ar.y purpose whatever, without the knowledge and consent of the loman Government, and still less an it sutler an act to yams unnoticed and lintel:roved when it implies a positive viola tion of the principles maintained by the Innen Government The lonian Government has repeatedly, and even very lately, declared its neutrality in the war which is carrying on upon the neighbouring Continent, and in the Islands of the Archipelogo ; and it would be a direct violation of that neutrality to allow its territory to be used as a depot, for money, or warlike stores, by either of the contending patties. The Government of these States therefore ordains as follows t— " Art. 1. Neither the Island of Zante, nor Cerigo, nor any other place belonging to Ilk: territory of the lonian Islands, shall serve as a plate of deposit for the above lean. " 2. It after this declaration, one or more persons should allow such a loan to be deposited with them, they shall, if subjects of the lonian States, he liable to all the penalties pronounced by the ex isting laws and ordinances against the violation of neutrality ; sad if they are foreigners, to the penalty threatened I.y the prod& minion of April 13, 11%21; i. e. banishment from the lonian Islands. " 3. The present proclamation shall be printed in the English, Greek, and Italian languages, published and referred fur execution to the respective Authorities. " Corfu, June 19, 1ir2.1. " By command of the Senate, " PONSONBY. " Secretary of the Senate the thorn! Department." The decree to which the preceding proclamation refers to, is as I Worn : " Lemaidering that the legislative body has resolved to contract a lows for tour millions of Spanish dollars (nuo.oout. stirling), and a part of this loan contracted in London has alrvady arrived at %ante: considering that under the present circumstances it is highly neces sary to take all possible measures that the money may be properly applied, as the contrary would be attended with the worst conse quences. the I.egislative Body decrees as follows: " I. Not a shilling of the said money shall be employed to cover former expenses or accounts, of whatever nature they may be. 2. The amount of the loan is exclusively dedicated to the ad varcetnent of the nation, and shall be employed with the strictest economy. partly for other future wants oftl.e State. " 9. The money shall remain in depot in 'Latta or Cerign. " 4. The Comniitice which received its appointment from I.on• don shall make the payments &melding as the Government dispose, receiving each time a certidcate, signed by the President of the gislait‘e Body, accompanied by the Protocul of the Sitting, which certiltext.:. the Executive Council shall give through the Munster of finance. " 5. This law shall be Inviolably observed.. both urea/ding to its letter and spirit, till the whale loan shall be disposed of. " The President of the Executive Council. " Argos, April 27, 1821."

Sevcral streets in the city were inundated. Entire floats of timber, above al) boats laden with wood, a great quantity of furniture, beams, even entire roofs, covered with people, carriages, with osen and horses yoked to them, flowed under the bridges of the city. A small part warn stopped unda the arches: the rest was carried farther, broken to pieces, or vinlertly thrown upon the bank in the adjacent fields atid roads. An empty boat was carried by the waves to the sop of a roof, which it beat in. Unhappily several persons have perished. Prince Leopold arrived at Marlborough House yeataday afternoon from Claremont.

A grand musical performance, which the bills with much propriety designated au "extraordinary performance," was produced at this theatre last evening; it was entitled Dee Friel:Au:7, or the ) w rath Bullet. It is a literal transla tion from the celebrated Gentian opera composed by Carl Maria Von %Veber. It has been dramatised by Rink, and the English translator ie.Alr. Logan, who has evinced both musical and poetical talent in his adaptation of it to the English stage. The previous celebrity of the opera, e hich has been performed in thirty different theatres on the sane night in Germany : the celebrity too of the work, The rules of Northetn Notions, from which it is taken, tegetber with the assistance of a largely increased orchestra, and the closing of the English Opera-huuse the night before, gave "dreadful note of preparation," and attracted a nume rous and brilliant auditory. The story, as far as we could catch it from the oltscuredeeelopement that the representa tion affords, is briefly this :—/Coe/o/p/. (Mr. Braham) and Casper (Mr. Bennett) are both enamcured of .4gers (Miss Noel) ; Rudolph is the favourite of the lady and her father. Casper, however, obtains from the DCWIOX of a Forest (Mr. T. P: Cooke) the power of direoting any bullets With which he might fire fairly to the mark at which be aims ; in consideration wl.ereof he ingages to surrender himself a victim, or to procure a victim for the Demee after the lapse of a certain period of tune. He is desirous of making his rival Rudolph this victim, and endea vours to do so by trainferring this rawer of directing the shots he might fire with accurate aim. Rudolph is the more anxious to become what is termed " a good shot," as a trial shut is about to take place, which alludes to a custom . that prevailed in part of Germany, that he who proved hinvcif the best shot' was entitled to the rangership of the for.st, and to demand in marriage the most beautiful woman iu the, country. Notwithstandiug these blended attractions to! yield to the suggestions of Casper, Reddish escapes the snare, and the piece somewhat abruptly ends, by-Ruda/A . O l bullet, at the trial shot, being directed by the Demon'sl power to the heart of Cospyr. He falls—the Demon ap pears in a cloud of sulphureous smoke, shower of fire, &c., and takes him away. A chorus is sung, the curtain falls, and the audience is left to epojecture what they please as to the destinin of the numerous draourtis prrsonte that arc crowded into the piece. trove complete extravaganza—a plot of equally romantic absurdity—a production composed of incidents so extraordinary and so improbable was never, perhaps, brought out at this or any other Theatre, except a German one. That the fact of its being a legendary tale of the North, and the circumstance of load allusions to the superstitions and prejudice!! of the people, may render the original piece popular in Germany, is not to be wondered at. To us, however, its only redeeming quality is some really beautiful music with which it is associated. Weber is un questionably a great musielin • there is a gay, joyous, and' sparkling combination of soun ds in his music, which please the untutored car no less than they win the approval and good opinion of the schetific. " liefore my eyes beheld him" is really a piece which, in point of merit as a musical composition, yields to no modern production with which we are acquainted. ?dies Noel gave it sweetly, but we could wish that her sweetness was sustained by a corresponding depth and power. Biahatu was .elmiralile throughout, and testifier! his sense of the merit of the music, by heaving the rich variety of rounds with which it abounds like a load from his breast. The effect with which he gave the trio, " But does thy Heart forgive me" (with Miss Noel and Miss Povey), could not be exceeded. "It rose like a stream of rich perfuims upon the air." He was no less powerful and impratseive in au introduced air in the third act, " A %Vet, elland Life among the Hills," which was as exquisite a piece of poetry and music as almost any in the original piece. There was au incantation scene which would be rendered much more doe-ming if it were con siderably shortened. The piece was given out, with a very! slight expression of disapprobation and a tumult of ap plause, for repetition (as we un lersteoll), until further . notice. In short, fur the lovers ef the legitimate drama it possesses few recoinmendatiens; to the lovers of music it presents numberless attractions. The Kentish Gazette of Tuesday says—" Yes:erday morning Mr. Kean ' the celebrated tragedian, pass ..d through this city in his travelling chariot fur Londt,n, on his return from Italy.

EXTRACT OF ♦ LETTER FROM TRINIDAD, DATED THE 10TR INSTANT. You will have noticed in the riglinh Papers the Order in Coun cil for the treatment of the slaves in Trinidad. This has been published in the Gavle( here (although not officially), and has c iused great dismay and consternation amongst all classes of the wino unity. I fear it may be attended with mischievous effects. I have no hesitation in saying it gives a deadly blow to the agri cultural pmaperity of the island, as none of the inhabitants in the other Colooies (the soil of some of which is nearly worn out), will row establish themselves here, and be subject to all the pains and Tialtim enacted ..e r the said Order. It is really unfortunate that rinidad should be made the theatre for experiments on all occa sions; but this too clearly proves the case from :11r. Canning's speech. I send you a parophlet published by a 3lember of the Couocil here ; and, although it relates to the former propositions of Earl Bathurst fur the treatment of the slAves, still you may find it worth perusal. 11, EX RACT Or A LETTER PROM DEMERARA, DATED TILE liTre INSTANT.

This means of conversing a thousand leagues from one another is an admirable invention. The ancients would have matte a goddess of this poste, which has changed the world into one immense saloon, where people converse at the greatest distance on all subjects with as much facility as if sitting round a parlour fire-side. It was to Louis XI. the most terrible of despots, that we are indebted to a post. His son being dangerously ill at Blois, paternal love created relays on the road, to have the most rapid intelligence of the Prince's health. Political affair. have since made use of this discovery by paternal love, to which they have added the telegraph, made use of c!,ly by the (My, rement, but should the telegraph once fall into the power of the public. it will be true more than ever, that the Atlantic is but a river. t'onsilering this invaluable invention not merely as a philosopher, but as a calculator, I shall show how great an advantage it has become to the finances of the State. The service of the Post-office brings annually a revenue to the city of Paris of 4,23.1,0001'., 169,0001. sterling. It i has been estimated that 518,000 letters leave Paris every day for the interior and foreign parrs, and that 18,000 daily arrive in that city, which in a year gives motion to mven- I teen million of letters. The Petite Postefmnishes a move- I ment of 10,000 letters per day, of which creditors and Fe: imams are the principal furnishers; these letters, which formerly arrived at their destination the following day, thinks to M. le Directeur des Pastes, now arrive four hour; after being put into the Lox, since which it 'has been ob served, that les reside; plus are become more frequent, and the commerce of hearts more active. However, in London, the Twopenny (Petite) Post is managed still better, as there are offices where letters are del:vered in two hours. it is true you pay dearer than here, but Ira (mom communicate in consequence more ra pidly than at Paris. Periodical publications and semi-pe riodical leave Paris daily, to the number of 28,333. An nually 104,000 letters are addressed Paris poste rest ante. This means is adopted by persons in obscurity, or by persona who will not or cannot give their address. Out of this tensuber nearly 1 t,OOO remain without being claimed, most of which arc testimonials of love addressed to des amans er.7axeurs, who, hardly arrived at Paris, have forgotten their vows of eternal fidelity. Letters were received yesterday from Jamaica, dated let June. They announce that accounts had been re ceived at Kingston of the negotiation of the Calombian Loan in London ; the Renegado schooner was ir,:mediattly despatched to the Main with hnportantintelkfenee. _ .

Extract of n letter from Baranquilla (Colombia), dated May 11:—" The proceedings of Congress in Bogota have not as yet been marked by any act of public importanc?, if we except the law just passed, agreeably to which all the lands dedicated to the Saints (by far the most valuable in the country, and amounting to many millions) are tak.:n from the clergy and appropriated to the exclusive use of the Government, for the nrosecution of the war, &c. This is as it ought to be; liut the system ought to be followed ; and it is hoped it will, by condemning all the proper ties of monasteries, cloisters, cons. nts, &c. in favour of the Govenrment, and convecting their useless inmates into useful members of society. Upon a late oczasion, when the Archbishop of Merida was commencing a spcerh in the' Senate in the following manner—' Our holy religion is losing ground,' he was most promptly put down by nearly a unanimous vote." M E stoo.—The private letters by the Lion from Mexico were delivered at the post-office ytsterdsy, those which arrived on Saturday having lven merely the despatches to Government and the Contractors of the Elan. These !elfin do little more than fill up the details of the intelli gence we have already given. They srrk in the highest terms of the energy with which all the measures of the Government have been taken since Bravo came into powcr, and of the confidence universally felt, net merely in his talents mal activity, but in the uncompromising integrity of his character. Sraking of the Jima of the persons engaged in some plot in favour of Iturbicle, one of the letters says—" This proceeding was conducted with a promptitude and a vigilance that would have done credit to any European Government. The persona arrested arc all of the most despicable character—bankrurs in fortune and in fame—just the sort of men who, having nothing to lose, are ready to promote any change that can by any chance put a little money into their pockets. lturbide, when he was in power, was pretty lavish of money to wards hit supporters." Great satisfaction seems to Lave !iei a given by the appointment of M. A!ainan to Le M oister of Foreign Ailkira and of the Interior. The mines were tee,ini.ing to get put in motion, and M.
