y. , b.ThE KING IN IRELAND." The writer of an interesting article, under this title, in Mr. COLBURS'S New Monthly Magazine, after taking notice of the parties who alternately misgoverned and disturbed Ireland, at the moment of his MAJESTY'S arrival, proceeds to present us with the following anticipation of the future. The events which have even already supervened make it almost a prophecy : " It requires bat little skill to foresee that their sus pension of hostilities, or rather their sudden and mira culous unanimity, is not to be calculated on for any great duration.' The interests of some, and the per . tonal affection of others, for the King, produced the demonstration ; but it is at best only the mala sarta, amicitia: If a stranger to Ireland requires any proof of this, he will find it in the hollow and heartless ac clamations which have hailed the arrival of some of the King's attendants. If there ever was a measure which before temporarily united the opposing fac tions, it was the measure of the Union. They poured upon it their unanimous execration, denounced it as a calamity which laid their independence in the dust, and through each succeeding year have held it up as the bane of their prosperity, and the annihilation' of their name. And yet. in twenty years after it passed—even in that very city which it had chiefly prostrated, whose mansions it had untenanted, whose merchants it.had impoverished, whose streets it had depopulated, and whose splendour, as the seat of legislation, it had eclipsed for ever—even there, the reviled author of that measure was so hailed by the plaudits of radical consistency, that if he did not altogether supersede the Sovereign, he may, at least, now with truth exclaim— , Divisum imperium clam Jove—habui r— oe It is scarcely possible to conceive this adulation to be sincere, and its offering is tin omen of no auspi cious import. When a people I come either so desperate, or so shameless, as to fling off the prin ciples of which they have been violent in the profes sion, and transform all at once the object of their denunciations into the god of their idolatry ; how ever it may expose themselves, it most assuredly cannot impose upon the world. It manifestly re duces them to this dilemma, either that their cla mour has been ill founded, or that their devotion is insincere ; and in either case, their claim upon re spect or credulity is the same. Such violent conver sions in politics are-seldom pure, and quite as seldom permanent. It is scarcely possible to believe, that the men who are bending the pliant knee upon the pier of Dunleary, are the same men who, in 1812, made Clarendon-street Chapel ring with the witchery resolutions. Yet their personal identity is certain— but the object Of their caprices is transformed: power has touched it with an Ithuriel spear, and de formity has become divine. " However, Sir, even confiding in, which I do not, the superlative raptures which have arisen from the Royal visit, it appears to me impossible that all their prospective visions can be realized. Ireland may have been flattered by the King's attention, but the King cannot have been informed by such a journey. It is not amid the parade of a triumphal entry, or at corporation shews and college dinners, that the wants and interests of such a country are to be learned. Dublin, all beauty without, and all poverty within— like the statue in Lucian, with its polished surface of Parian splendour and its interior filled with rags and wretchedness, is but a deceitful specimen of the state of Leland, particularly when she is blazing in the transient rays of an imparted Court, and peopled with the train of foreign Ambassadors. To know Ireland, the Monarch should have gone unattended through its Provinces—he should have seen its g de setted villages'—its roofless manufactories—its ship less lirdbours--its ragged, dispirited, discouraged peasanery, surrendering to the agent of some ab sentee landlord the worthless pittance which the tithe-proctor had spared, and taking refuge from thought in eternal intoxication; he should have seen the adverse bigots, waging their impious battle over the polluted altars of a common faith—he should hare gone into the crowded prisons and into the continual barracks, and cursed thi instruments, and wept over the victims of coercion—he should have asked whether the stations under him, from the highest to the lowest, were distributed according to merit, or interest, or corruption—he should have in qtsired why it was, that all the names of which the country can be proud—the Burkes, the Goldsmiths, the Moores, with a long train of etceteras 'in arts, and arms, and politics, have been obliged to mi grate hit() distant lands, leaving the honours and emoluments of their own to those who have less spirit and inure subserviency. He should have done this to know even something . of Ireland—and, when all. this knowledge was acquired, amply sufficient would then remain behind to satisfy curiosity during the next promised triennial visitation. If the Royal affection for Ireland is as sincere as it appears to be, and indeed there can be no reason to doubt it, these inquiries once acted on would produce to the coun try results the most beneficial, and to the King him self reflections the most delightful. " Kum:ores." RELIEF OF THE GREEKS — A letter from Stutgard, dated October 6, says, The Association for the relief of the Greeks has _Oven notice that several young men have applied to it for support, depending on or recommended by M. Danneberg, in Hamburgh, and by Baron Dalberg ; that many of them removed from their homes and their professions, had no means of subsistence, nor emu sufficient money to take them to their own • country. The Society therefore is induced to state, that it has no connection whatever with M. Danne berg or Baron Dalberg, and can pay no regard to their recommendations. The Society likewise repeats its declaration, that it has not invited anybody either to go to Greece or to appear at Stutgard in person. and therefore no person can make any claims on it u pon the ground of having been called upon by the Society. 'The Society has, however, the satisfaction of an uouncing-to its friends, and to all those who are in termted m the cause of the unfortunate Greeks, that its efforts become more and more successful, and that it has the joyful prospect of attaining the object which it could legally and reasontibly propose."

The most ardent expectations of faithful subjects have been realized—their most ardent wishes are fulfilled—the KING, notwithstanding the lateness of the season, has disregarded the great distance to come to his children; and, since yesterday afternoon at five o'clock, the Hanoverians possess their beloved Sovereign. From an early hour in the morning, many then sands of persons, in carriages, on horseback, and on foot, hastened out to meet our revered Sovereign, and the road was thronged for miles with countless multitudes. A signal gnn announced to the eagerly expecting inhabitants of the City and neighbourhood the ap proach of the Monarch ; their expectations were fur ther heightened when a Royal salute shewcd that the moment was at band; the loudest acclamations re sounded as soon as the Royal carriage came in sight. His MAJESTY had let down the windows, and sainted in the most gracious manner the numerous and re joicing multitude, who were particularly thronged in the vicinity of the Palace. At Herrenhausen his MAJESTY -was received by his Royal Brothers, the Princes of 13noxswIcx, the Ministers; the chief Officers of the Royal Household, and Officers of the Court then on duty. The band of the gagers of the Guard played GOD :Ave the King, and the Royal standard was hoisted on the Palace ; at the same moment the Court-yard of the Palace was filled by an innumerable assemblage, who broke out into the most enthusiastic transports when his MAJESTY slowed himself at the window. His MAJESTY, sensible of the wishes of the expect• ing crowd, came into the balcony between his Royal sisters-in-law, and bowing repeatedly, most grace fully saluted the delighted multitudes, who kept up an uninterrupted hurrah ! His MAJESTY had the 1 goodness to indulge his affectionate peOple with the sight of him for at least ten minutes, and, after he had repeatedly acknowledged the loud testimonies of the loyalty ,of the Hanoverians, withdrew into his apartments. As the coact-yard still continued to be filled with new crowds eager to behold their Sovereign, his MasEsry had the condescension again to shew him- Iself twice in the balcony, and was again saluted ss ith the most unequivocal expressions of joy and gratitude. —The Bth of October has been a festival : it gave the inhabitants of the capital their beloved Sovereign. His MAJESTY embarked at Ramsgate on the 24th September, and has therefore been exactly a fortnight on the journey, having landed at Calais and passed through Lille, Brussels, Aix-la-Chapelle, Dusseldorf, and Munster, where he arrived on the sth. His MA JESTY entered his Germln dominions by way of Glan dorf, and arrived at Osnaburg at half-past five, P.M. —At St. John's gate the citizens took the horses from the carriage and drew his MAJESTY (who graciously saluted the crowd on all sides) slowly to the Palace. His MAJESTY was received at the Palace gate by the Minister of State Count 'HARDENBERG ; by Count KIELSIANSEGGE, Master of the Horse; and by Count WANGENHEIM, Master of the Household; the Cham berlain on duty, Von BAR, &c. An innumerable crowd had accompanied his MA JESTY from the frontiers, and expressed by the loudest rejoicings their delight at possessing the Kixo. In the entrance-hall of the Palace, young Ladies, dressed in white, sang a Poem composed for the oc casion, which was presented to the Km:, printed on satin, by Miss SCHILGEN. In the evening, while the litxG was at table, the citizens came under the windows with a band of mu sic and torches. His MAJESTY opened the window. • thanked them in the most gracious manner, and drank a glass of wine to the health of his faithful subjects. On the 7th, in the morning, his MAJESTY was pleased to admit the Officers of the Palace, and the Authorities, to an audience; and to review the Bth Regiment of Infantry, which is in garrison at Osna burg. At eleven, A.M. his MAJESTY, accompanied by the blessings of all those of his subjects who had first had the pleasure of seeing their Sovereign, con tinued his journey to Nieuburg, where he arrived at seveq in the evening, and passed the night in the Court-house, which had been prepared for his recep tion. His MAJESTY was there met by his Royal Bm- then, the Dukes Of CUMBEELOD and CAMBRIDGE, with whom he dined. His ltiiyal highness Prince FERDINAND of Austtia has arrived here. Within these few days there have also arrived the Count Von SPIEGEL, Austrian, Ambassaior..; Baron Von JUST, the Saxon Ambassador; the Prussian Ge neral Count TAUENZEIN ; M. Von SALESCD, Minister of the Household to the Duke of SANE GOTHA ; the Deputies of the Hanseatic Cities. From Hamburgh, Syndic M. Von SIENEN ; from Bremen, the Burgo-• master M. Von GaoNtNs; and from Lubeck, the Syn dk M. Gurscrrow ; the Bishop of WENDT, &c. We expect his Royal Highness the Gr*:nd Duke of MECKLENBURG STRELITZ, and his Highness Prince • GusrAvos of Mecklenburg Schwerin. The King of DENMARK has appointed Count HAR DENBERG REYENTLOW, and the King of SWEDEN, General BISERNSTERNA, to come hither to compli ment his MAJESTY. To-morrow (Wednesday) his MAJESTY will make his solemn public entry, on horseback, into this city. The Procession; which will be very splendid, is to be all arranged to leave Herrenhausen about-i 1 o'clock. BERLIN, OCTOBER 3. We are assured that we shall see the King of END. L AND here. It is in anticipation of the arrival of this Sovereign, that all possible preparations have been making at the new Palace cf Potsdam, and at the King's Chateau, in Berlin. EXTRACT or A PRIVATE LETTER FROM BERLIN, DATED 4TH OCTOBER. 41 It seems not yet determined whether the KING will come here or not., Baron OMPIEDA, the Hano verian Minister, is gone to meet him at Hanover, where his MAJESTY is expected on the 10th or 12th inst. It was said, that in ca s e the kiwi should come here, the so called new Palace at Potsdam (built by FREDERICK THE GREAT) was to be prepared for his . reception, and that from Potsdam he would come to Berlin to witness some great parades of the troops, &c. The new Prussian Minister to the Court of St. James's, Baron WEATHER, whom you may expect in December, is a very excellent character, and will, 1 am sure, please you English greatly. The appoint ment has been made with great discrimination." The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this fore noon.--We quoted yesterday, from those of Friday' an article of a very warlike complexion respecting Russia and Turkey. The accounts in the Papers now before us are in the same tune. In an article dated Leipsic, 2d October, it is said that news had been received there of an embargo having been placed on all the shipping in the port of Odessa, and that there was now no doubt of war. We may re mark, however, that the latest accounts received in London, from Odessa, which were of the 18th Sep• tember, are quite of an opposite tendency, and it is but barely possible that news of an embargo having subsequently taken place, could have reached Leipsic on the 2d of October. v. CHARLES-FEUX has signalized his accession to the abdicated Sovereignty of Sardinia by a general Act of Amnesty for all excesses committed during the late attempt at revolution. So many classes of ex ception are appended to it, however, that it wiU ope rate only in favour of those who may I* said to have taken purely an acquiescent part in the transaction. Great anxiety is manifested to leave no chance of escape to any one who contributed actively, either by money, or arms, or words, to the spread of rebellion. The epidemy in Spain is represented in these Jour nals as still spreading its devastations. Lerida, Bar bastro, Tortosa, Mequinenza, and Fragor, are all' said to be exposed to the ravages of the pestilence ; and at Saragossa the Committee of Health have been under the necessity of resorting to the most rigorous precautions. French Five per Cents.—Friday, 90fr. She. We have received a series of German Papers of re cent dates, from which we subjoin some extracts : VIENNA, OCTOBER 9. The ordinary Courier from Constantinople, of Sep tember 10, brings little news from that capital, where tranquillity has been fully restored for some weeks ' past, and has not been interrupted by any new dis agreeable occurrences. If this fact should be denied ' by all the newspapers in the world, it would be nevertheless true. fhe Rurban Bairam (little Bairam) has passed over without the smallest disturbance. They had very little to relate at Constantinople on September 10, from the provinces of the Turkish Empire lying nearest to the capital, because in fact little or nothing worth notice had occurred in them. The Ottoman fleet lay, at the end of August, before Rhodes, where, according to accounts from Smyrna of the 25th of August, it had been joined by the squadron of the Viceroy of Egypt, consisting of 16 ships of war. It had not lost either, a first or second naval battle, for it had not fought any. We have already communicated to our readers all that has passed between this fleet and the Greek squadron. The Austrian, English, French, and other Ambassa dors at Constantinople, receive daily complaints from the merchants respecting the piracy, which seems to be now reduced to an organized system, in the islands of the Archipelago. Several valuable merchantmen,' under different flags, have been lately stopped, and taken to a remote island, where a Ptize Court, as it is styled, is said to be established. As the port of Constantinople is now again free from all commercial restraint, vessels from the Black Sea arrive there daily. WARSAW, SEPTEMBER 2.3. As the time of the assembly of the Diet is now ap proaching, summonses have been issued, as directed by the constitution, to all the Senators to repair thi ther Wore tut Ist of Octoba.

The following is an extract of a letter from Oileyik received by an eminent Mercantile House in &Cie " I am sorry to sag that the hopes which vicet° entertained within the last few Jays, of the inteo of the Emperor ALEXANDER to revoke the Una which removed the freedom of this port, meal likely to be realised. As yet we are in a state cfe certainty upon the subject ; but from what Imo certain from persons high in office here, the God ment of St. l'etersburgh have for some time pr thought the late commercial regulations of the plc very imperfe c t. It appears that smuggling has bo carried on to such an enormous extent, that its been found absolutely necessary to appoint nue dinar, officers, and to have recourse to other arre : ' ments, which have not only been attended seithr/ considerable trouble, but have entailed nay 1 0 expenses upon the Government—so much se, IS as to form an item of some consideration intim fo cial arrangements of the Minister.
