The ideas and views expressed in this Declaration are perfectly coincident with the general spirit that guided the con ferences at TroPpau and Laybach, and with what there was re solved and determined. The language which the Allies there- in hold, after actions and measures which their consciences pre scribed, and which; Heaven be thanked, were crowned with the happiest success, is .entirely agreeable to that which they held before those actions and beneficial measures. It is and will remain unalterably the same, for it is founded on truth ; FRENCH FUNDS. 4 Ilg e 15, Fi ve per C ents. ..... • 1.1:::nk .Stock.... it is the expression of the entire conviction of- the Allies, of the duties which they regard as sacred, and of the rights in separable from those duties ; it has no reference to temporary or to personal interests—it concerns only the permanent and general welfare of Europe, considered as one great so cial union. Ever di s p ose d t o num b er among their wishes, to favour by their counsel, and to sanction by their approba tion whatever the legitimate authority may do,—to secure the genuine liberty of nations, to improve their institutions and laws, they will always mark rebellion, under whatever fbrm and name may it appear, with the stamp of their disap proval. Wherever it appears, and they can reach it, they will repress, condemn and combat its work ; far from sanction ing it, they will never have any understanding with it. These are the principles and the sentiments of the King, as well as of his august Allies: •they are as much imposed on them, and commanded by morality and religion,las they are counselled by pure and exalted policy, and by again pronouncing them in the race of Europe, they believe they shall take from the factious every hope, and relieve the well disposed from every doubt.— Anticipate, if possible, the calumnies and evil interpretations of malice, give to Governments a just confidence in themselves, and to nations the courage of obedience and fidelity.' " AUGSBURG, JUNE 11.—It is affirmed that a Cabinet Council was held at Vienna soon after the arrival of dispatches from the Austrian Mi- 'lister at Constantinople. At the breaking up of the Council an extraordinary courier was dis patched to Warsaw and Petersburgh. 44 The inhabitants of Sicily do not appear well pleased at the intelligence of the approaching arrival of an Austrian division in that island, it is feared their presence will be productive of had consequences." STATE o f TURKEY. — Letters dated the 22d May were r eceived yesterday from Odessa. The bodies of the Greepatriarch, and of the four bishops executed with him at Constantinople, had arrived there to receive the honours of sepulture in a place not owning the dominion of the Turks. So anxious were the authorities at Odessa to avoid any act capable of being construed into an interference between the Greeks and the Turks, that a messenger was dispatched to I'e tersburgh, to learn if a public procession at the funeral of the murdered Prelates, which had been solicited by the resident Greeks, could be permitted. The remains of the army of Ypsilanti, in the frontier provinces of Turkey, were under stood to consist of about 8,000 men, but they are represented to be a mere rabble in point of dis cipline, and a horde of banditti in their mode of conduct, plundering the churches, and even titejr, ' own countrymen, for subsistence. Their move ments were wholly desultory, and their march seemed directed towards the Austrian frontier, instead of threatening the capital of Turkey. The dreadful affair of Galacz, which has been before mentioned, is confirmed by these let ters. That fortress, which is situated on the Danube, was carried by storm by the Turks, and every Greek within it put to the sword.-- From Constantinople the advises received at Odessa extend to the 15th of May. They mention in the most positive manner that the tranquillity of the city was nearly restored, and business resuming its ordinary routine. All the Ambassadors of the five great Powers were em- ploying themselves with energy, and in concert, to procure some amelioration of 66 lot of the unfortunate Greeks. Memorials and remon strances had been presented to the Divan, and even threats of vengeance were not spared to inthice the adoption of a more moderate course of proceeding. From this judicious rind spirited conduct the best results were expected, but the system of severity proceeded meantime in all its rigour. Nothing can be more deplorable than the present state of the Greek population, from the highest to the lowest class: all proscribed and marked out for extermination or compelled, by flight from the ountry, to relinquish the m e a ns of subsistence. it it well known that the mercan tile profession is chiefly carried on by the Greeks. Their commerce is now suddenly and wholly annihilated, since not a vessel bearing the Greek flag, or manned by a crew of that nation, or having Greek property on board, dares venture into a Turkish port. Our countrymen profit by this circumstance, and, as they are treated by the Turks with a degree of respect far surpassing that of any other European nation, it appears pro bable that the mercantile operations of the Greeks will be carried on chiefly by English capital. It is now ascertained that Smyrna has never been otherwise than tranquil - during the whole pro gress of the insurrection. An alarm existed at one period that the Turks were approaching in considerable force, in consequence of which a great part of the Greeks quitted the place, but it proved unfounded, and 'no disturbance or ma terial interruption to business followed it. SLAVE TRADE.—Seven hundred and F, eventy two negroes arrived at Bahia on the 6th April, in three Portuguese schooners, from Ambris, An jola, and Cabinda. From St. Rift's.----Every slave who may be freed is required to pay 1001. into the Colonial Treasury for his certificate of manumission.

Abo a week ago the cannon were , gli y of his SOver.eign,' drawn out, and every preparation made for a battle in the town ; I accompanied the Declaration signed by the Mi nisters of the Allied Powers, on the conclusion of the conferences at Laybach, with a Circular Note to the European Courts, from which we extract the following passages : The Declaration expresses sinipl3, precisely ani sincerely the conservatory principles of the Allied Courts, their disin terested and truly European views, their inviolable regard•for the independence and freedom of all States, but at the same time also, their firm resolution to maintain both the one and the but at length the Rebels, to the number of 1100 men, laid dorm their arms. Business goes on as bad as possible. The town of Gonaives has been plundered, and I expect we shall experience the same fate here. I have had my trunks twice on board, and blue light signals are made every night in case of danger, that: we may escape on board the shipping,whereagreat ntunher take refuge every evening. _ An attempt ivsa made to blow up the, niagaiine, but it was fortunately discOveral, or half the town would have been in ruins. Affairs are by no means settled. The repeated cornmOtiona have so alarmed the Merchanti that they purchaSe but little. The PAESIDEIstT has dtained the treasury of every dollar, And departs this day with 400 men foi Port Dolphin to check some disturbanceS." We have received so rmich commendatido for the " Essay, on the Past and Present CircumStances of this Country," as well as for the solid and important matter it con tained, and the energy and eloquence of its style, that we are fully convinced of the case made out by the author. He has ,proved to demonstration that no surer means can be devised for promoting the employment of the labouring poor ; for impart ing a new stimulus to the great internal trade of the country; for encouraging foreign commerce and exciting the amplest developement of our, immense resources, than are to be found in adopting a measure which has.- been suggested by himself for relieving the pressure of the national debt. And as• the plan he proposes is simply conversion of the present public funds into a new 5 per cent. stock of a higher denomination, it is ascertained to be perfectly practicable. It is also perfectly consistent with public faith. Indeed it is, all circumstances considered, for the interest of the Stock holder ; because it will give his annuity a greater command over the necessaries of-life ;it will increase the annuity of the present three per cents., and not so much reduce that of the four and five per cents. as it is intended by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to reduce them next year. And although the annuity of the 3 per cents. will be augmented, the reduction of the interest of the 5 and 4 per cents, which, according to law, are liable to reduction, will, upon the whole amount of the pre senttlividends on 3,4, and 5 per cents. taken together, effect a great saving to the State. While the total amount of the na tional debt will be reduced, probably, two hundred millions, without either violating public faith or supposing that the whole of the 3 per cent. holders would consent to the conversion.— Making, therefore, ample provision for leaving a sufficiency of 3 per cents. for the Traders in Stock in the Stock market. The plan is deemed a most valuable discovery in Fanattce.— Its simplicity, its practicability, and the importance of its re sults, establish, in a peculiar manner, its claims to 'the imme diate attention of Members of Parliament ; especially at a time of acknowledged difficulty among public men to devise the cer tain means of r . storing pro'sperity and happiness to the corn munity. Yesterday, at two o'clock, his MAJESTY left his Palace in Pall Mall, escorted by a party of Light Horse, for his Lodge at Windsor.

When his MAJESTY visits Wales, a new Order of Knighthood is expected to •be created ; the title-to -bt‘-, the Oi'der of the Ancient Knights of Cambria, and the Ribbon of the Order to be of leek green with white edges.__ r= - The following intelligence was yesterday re ceived in the City :—" Lord CocnnANE having detained several vessels of the United States, under the plea of their having Spanish property on board, the American Government, we under stand, has determined to increase its naval force in the Pacific, and Commodore STEwAnT has been appointed to the command of the Franklin, 74 gun ship ; so that besides the British 'ships of war in those seas, Lord CocnaAmr. will have several French, Spanish, and United States' frigates and vessels of the line watching his movements. The arrival of the French ships of war on the western coast has excited a good deal of surprize, especially among those who are more immediately connected with South America ; and it is supposed their cruizing iii that direc tion is more fur the purpose of discovery than any other." A letter from Maranham, of the 14th of April, states, that a Provisional Constitutional Govern ment has been formed there, to continue in force till the bases of the Portuguese Constitution should he fixed. The popular wish appeared at first to be in favour of a Government, the adminis tration of which should be confined to live or six Members only ; but the form first mentioned was, after much contention, agreed to, as General SILVEIRA would not consent on any other condi tion to remain at the head of affairs. MONUAJENT TO THE L ITE KlNG.—The visitors and inhabitants of Weymouth, at a Public Meet ing held on Thursday last.

Th e speeches and Fcenes were from the most approved Authors, and the tasteful manner in which they were delivered in the different languages, not only reflected much praise on the pupils, but great credit on the masters. It may seem invidious to distinguish the ability and exertion of one pupil more than another . ; as the whole performance was very praiseworthy; but MesSrs. Saunders, Barker, Bennett, Graham,. Paul, and Shute, were among the. .miniber that excelled—the former of these, his superior. energy, eloquence, and the pathos he dis played in the Ode on Resignation, as well as in the character of Brutus, called forth the astonishment and admiration of the whole audience. A duel took place yesterday morning in a field near Shooter's Hill, between Major G— and Major T—. The former was shot through the body, and the latter slightly wounded in the breast. f4gwS.

'We were premature last week in announcing the departure of the iliith, or King's Light Infantry, for embarkation for Corfu; the first division, for that destination, did not march till Mon day last, the second division followed yesterday, and the re mainder will leave us on Saturday next.

The I:inlithgowshire Yeomanly Cavalry are to go into Lin• lithgow, on Monday the 25th instant, for six days permanerr duty. The Dumfries Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Colone] M Murdo, went into quarters at Dumfries on Friday se7nnight ExGrAsll OPERA HousE.—lt is much to be re gretted that theatrical Performers of established merit should be obliged to resort to novel expe dients, in order to attract that public attention which ought to be the just tribute to their in trinsic powers, and a due reward for the gratifi cation which those powers have afforded. Such was the case last night at this Theatre. Mrs. GLOVER, who may fairly be considered as one of the best Actresses on the London Stage, who would have been entitled to an eminent station on that Stage in the best periods of our theatrical history, and who is still in the prime of life, and in the full possession of her talents, found it ne cessary to court public notice in the character of Hamlet. As far as it was possible to subdue the consciousness that the part was performed by a female, Mrs. GLovEn certainly triumphed over that difficulty. Her performance was charac terized by that good sense which has always marked her acting. Iler deportment was easy and graceful. She displayed a full knowledge of the character in the detail, and in the general expiessfon. The soliloquies were delivered with impressive energy, and an air of philosophic re flection, which would have done honour to any male representative of this arduous character.— Indeed, if she had been of the other sex, her Hamlet would have been justly estimated among the mast popular of theatrical assumptions. The skill which she displayed in the fencing scene was the more extraordinary, as she has never been seen in any of those ballets &action in which other females have signalized their talents.— It cars hardly be necessary to state that a per formance of such high merit was received with great applause, and it is only justice to add, that the applause was not the mere result of friendly zeal, but' the fair homage of judicious criticism.— NITe have thought it proper to dwell in some de gree upon this subject, because Mrs. GLOVER is an actress of great merit, because she has a family to support, because she has been a persecuted woman, because a considerable part of the hard and uncertain profits. of her professional labours are taken from her, and finally because we hope that our sincere tribute to her merit may operate in some degree in favour of her efforts, wherever she may bend her course, since she 14 Hot able to procure due protection in the Metropolis.—The character of Ophelia was well performed by Miss BLAyenARD. We were glad to see the House so well attended ; but it is.very probable that Mrs. G.'s profits would have been much greater if she had not been prevented from having her benefit at Drury-Lane Theatre, on account of the Grand Festival in honour of the Anniversary of that glorious Victory of Waterloo• for which the world is chiefly indebted to the firmness, perse verance, and heroic example of Great Britain. CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION.— Yesterday, Mr. PArtruNs, in company with Mr. TRACK RAY, and Mr. lIARMER, waited upon the Loan MA yo at the Justice Roorn, for the`purpose of filing in formations against certain Members of a Society, called the Constitutional Association.—Mr. Par kins presented to the Lord Mayor an information laid by John Tyler, of the parish of St. Clement the Dane, against Joseph- Bulwarth Sharp.— There was a similar information presented against Mr. Charles Murray.—Mr. Parkins said, that he should only ask of his Lordship for summonses to in issued upon the informations, calling upon the individuals to answer the charges preferred against them. The Lord Mayor naturally hesi tating on such an occasion, agreed that the par ties should come up again on Wednesday after noon. On Tuesday afternoon, Mr. K ENT:exhibited his. apparatus for walking on the water, at Newiis,ven ; and after going about the piers for some time, walked out to the Roads, and round , the guard ship, , returning to the pier in a bo a t. L as t week he walked. across , the Frith-from Newhaven to Burntisland, and on Thur , day he tressed the Queensferry, in presence of the Duke of ALI-Al-and several other Noblemen and Gentlemen.- Yeeterday' afternoon he exhibited in the sea, •at Porto befbre a great concourse of spect a tor s . Il e wen t ou t abouta mile from the shore, and walked backwards and forwards for - some' time. Men were stationed at . different . places with bones to collect money from the people assembled; and we un derstand a handsome sum was obtained, which will enable the ingenious ,contrivet to proceed to London, where.he proposes to. exhibit his apparatus.—(Edinburgh Courant, June 16.)' iliittftY:-1,A14E iliFAtii.k. Yesterday being the Anniversary of the glo-: riPtis - Victory at Waterlooi Mr: Er.tisro:sf gra tified the public last night by a grand Masked FestiVal in honour of the occasion, under the sanction and patronage, as .was stated, of. his MAJ this occasion ; the Pit -being boarded over, the whole of the ground floor Avis thrown into one superb room,ztrid was opened to Masks, Dominos, and CharacterS only, at eleVen o'clock. The Stage Departinent was embellished with Panoramic, Rural, and Marine Views, sur , rounding a superb Temple, comprising -ten thou-' sand „square feet of painting, ornamented with allegorical subjects, analogouS to the • occasion ; together with transparent Portraits of the Heroes of Waterloo. The Royal . 130 c 'was fitted up with a part of the magnificent decorations sup plied when the King last honoured this. House with his presence., A splendid Portrait of hiS jesty graced the centre of the extremity of Stage; and those of the Duke of York ; the Dole of Wellington, the Marquis' of Anglesey, cher ; Billow, and many other of the gallant Chieftains, who were distinguished on that *me morable day, which this fete .was designed to commemorate, were disposed in various parts of the Theatre, which was most brilliantly and taste fully illuminated. The whole of the boxes were ornamented with festoons of artificial floWers and variegated lamps, and the stage presented a coup a"trii of extraordinary splendour. The dress circle was opened to those who paid the highest price ; twenty-five shillings, and thence they were admitted at eleven o'clock to the floor which united the pit and stage. The other boxes were let out for half-a-guinea each person. The Two shilling Gallery was filled at ss. each. The Up per Gallery was not open to the Public, but was filled up to prevent its offering that vacuum to the eye which it must otherwise have presented, with an ornamental representation of the several Stars belonging to the British Orders of Knighthood. In addition to the other .decorati on s w hi c h'- we have noticed, the stage was illuminated with a most magnificent gilt and chased chandelier, to which from twenty to thirty lamps were enclosed in globular glasses. The tout ensemble was beau , tiful from the first of the evening, but when the, boxes and gallery were filled with - fashionably dressed spectators, those parts of the edifice were as interestingly splendid as the grand scene of action was amusingly grotesque. From eight till eleven the assembling visitors were entertained with a variety of dramatic entertainments. • An appropriate Ode was recited -by Mr. -Cooper. " God save the King" was then sung with great applause. It was succeeded by shouts on the stage, which were replied to in .a similar way from the body of the house. The interlude of Blue Devils was then acted. Mr. Elliston, as Megrim, was received with particular marks of approba tion, which were frequently renewed in the course of the performance. It was, however, often interrupted by bursts of laughter, provoked by the ludicrous assemblage which the boxes open ed to the view. Some disappointment was experienced ashen Mr. Cooper informed the au dience that Mr. Brahain was- so excessively haarse.it was impossible for him to have thOlo nour of appearing 'b e fo re t h em that eVening. But the efforts of Mr. Horn and Mr. T. Cooke, of Signor Ambrogetti, of Miss Wilson, Madame Vestris, Mrs. Bland, Miss Cubitt, Mrs. and the Misses Ashe, Mademoiselle Jams, Mr. 11. Horn, and Master Barnett, made them forget every promised pleasure in the enjoyment afforded by a rich feast of harmony actually before them. Mr. T. Welsh presided at the piano, and was honour ed with , the • plaudits of the house more than once, while his last brilliant pupil, Miss Wilson, called forth the warmest ecstacies by the display of those powers which have lifted 'her to fame and fortune.

At two o'clock the Theatre presented a scene of jollity and mirth which Comus and his bacchanalians could not surpass, and which then was far from its conclusion, as each individua4 present seemed fully— " Resolved to sport away the tight, And keep it up till morn i ng light, Nor home to bed retreat."
