The few article, of intelligence which they contain relate chiefly to the warfare between the Turks and the Greeks ; and though the details are trifling in themselves, they ate important in as far as they prove that the latter continue to combat with vigour and activity for emancipat:' The most interesting fact stated is, that an expedition from St. Catherine, in Thessaly, commanded by Captain DIAMANTI, had crossed the Gulf of Salonica, and landed at Cassandra —a town which, it m.ry be recollected, was last year taken by the Tut ks. Letters from Salonica, dated the Bth July, state that, on this occasion, the Greeks suddenly attacked Cassandra, carried the place by surprise, and put all the Ottoman garrison to the sword. DIANIANTI has in. since made some demon strations against Salonica, that town has been thrown into a state of alarm, and the Governor, who had marched to assist CHOC RSCIIID PACIIA, who is block aded in Larissa, has hastily returned. At Athens the Greeks are said to have obtained possession of very considerable magazines, in consequence of the surrender of the Acropolis. In these Papers we find a Convention concluded between the Government!. of France and Spain, so late as the end of April last, for paying the debts due by Spain to the subjects of France. The sum of, 425,000 francs in rentes, representing a capital of 8,500,000, is set aside by the Ft each Government on certain conditions, for the purpo s e of indemnifying its own subjects against their Spanish debtors. These Papers contain an article under the head of Augsburg, which furnishes a commentary on the Russian defence of the Holy Alliance, inserted in the STAR of yesterday. Everything, says the Petersburgb Journalist, proves the existence of a secret organization, which embraces in its fatal ramifications all Europe! We imagined this article had been inspired by mere sympathy for the other branches of the Holy Alliance ; but an ar tic* from Augsburg informs us, that the Russian army on the Turkish frontiers, throughout all its can tonments, has been found to swarm not merely with Carbonari, but with Atheists and Democrats. Whole divisions have been disbanded, and punishment has been dealt out with an unsparing hand. The mo rality of the Russians never having been very high, we confess that we should rather have expected to find thieves than Atheists among these soldiers.— We were aware that the Russian Priest does not scruple to get drunk along with a boor or soldier, and that after being well warmed with liquor, blows are frequently dealt out to the sacred functionary with much good will. But notwithstanding these liberties, we have always understood that the Russians, accord ing to their own notions of religion, were a very re ligious people, indeed so firm in the faith, that cent,- ries might pass away before incredulity found its way to them. We expect next to hear that the Turks have become Carbonaii, and Atheists and Democrats. Fit6NCII FUNDS, AUG. 13. Five per Cents. opened at 93f. IN.—Closed at 93f. 35c. This forenoon we received a Dutch Mail, bringing Papers to the Ilth instant. An article from Berlin states, that the Students of the Society of the Arrninio, who have been proceeded against - , are to be punished with three months' confinement in a fortress. The Diet of Zurich have been engaged in dismsing the overtures made to them by M. Zee, the Envoy of the Columbian Republic. It is still affirmed that the citadels of Athens and Na poli di Romania, have surrendered to the Greeks. Charle,ton Papers arrived this morning to the 10th of July. From the Parer ok . the 9th " The United States' schooner Grampus arrived here yester day, from a successful cruize of three months, on the north side of Cuba, against the pirates. Notwithstanding the great exer tions made to destroy these villains, enemies of all nations, they still continue to commit depredotions on commerce, and are par ticularly incensed against the Americans : they arc seldom from their lurking plac::4, except tvls.'n some nierchant-vessel happens to pass in sight of them; anu •I•ei [Live a chain of commuMea lion along the whole of the uort it coast of Cuba.

THE ICING'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND. 0.0•••••••1•••• We are sorry that we canna yet announce the ar rival of his:WA/arra bt Edinburgh, owing to contrary winds which have impeded the progress of the Royal squadron. We yesterday stated that the Hottal. r GEORGE yacht was met of Flamborough Head on Monday at one o'clock ; towards the evening thew and shifted to the west and blew a gale, which consider ably increased on the Royal squadron passing Ber wick-upon-Tweed that night. The ships, however, ventured to go onwards; but it coming on to blow extremely fresh, it was deemed prudent by the Com mander to put about, and make the best of his way back to that harbour. The squadron remained there the whole of the day. His MAJESTY did not land. This unexpected occurrence had caused great bustle in the town and the neighbourhood, and, as might naturally be supposed, great delight to the inhabit ants, who were flocking from all quarters, to embark in boats, to have the pleasure of seeing their KING. His MAJESTY was in excellent health and spirits, and appeared to be highly delighted with the enthusias tic reception he had .met with in that part of his dominions. The steam packets availed themselves of the acci dental circumstance to take in a fresh supply of coals, and the ships generally were making an addition to their stock of provisions. It was expected that the squadron would get under weigh on Wednesday morning early, and that his MAJESTY would arrive in Leith on Wednesday, in the middle of the day.— At nine o'clock on Tuesday, the Royal squadron was still in the harbour of Berwick. His MAJESTY was. in excellent health, and no accident had occurred, though the concourse of people, passing to and from the town to the squadron, had been very great during the whLle of the day. During his MAJESTY'S voyage all along the coast, the most enthusiastic affection prevailed among all ranks of people. Whenever the squadron approached near enough to any town or village, every boat put off with well dressed visitors to salute his MAJESTY; in many instances the ROYAL GEORGE was completely surrounded and beset by boat-loads of people eager to chew their attachment. The KING, in his usual kind manner, returned by bows and smiles the joyous greetings of his visitors. At Scarborough, the MAYOR, in his robes, with the Corporation, put off in a boat with an Address to his MAJESTY, but as the ROYAL GEORGE was going along with great velocity, the Address was obliged to be handed up alongside, at tached to the end of a long stick. The circumstance, however, caused some little merriment among the sailors. There were great numbers of boats put off at the same time from Scarborough, filled with the respectable people of the town, as well as with its fashionable visitants. •, EDINBURGH, AUGUST 13. The bustle throughout Edinburgh from an early hour this morning was extremely interesting: the news of yesterday announcing his MAJESTY'S depar ture from London last Saturday produced a great sensation, and several pleasure yachts sailed down the Frith of Forth in the sanguine expectation of meeting the Royal squadron, a steam-boat also sailed for a similar purpose, and was filled with Ladies and Gentlemen, who returned in the course of the even ing, after several hours sailing, but without experi encing the gratification they had hoped for. Soon after day-break this morning the Calton Hill, Salis bury Craigs, ar.d the Castle Hill, presented. large bodies of observei s, who mingled among the soldiers and artillery, and with telescopes anxiously surveyed the expanse of sea beneath them, in the expectation of seeing the great object of their curiosity. But all these highly wrought hopes were disappointed. About seven o clock the wind veered round and blew a perfect gale, so as to render it impossible for any vessel to bear up in the Frith of Forth. This dis appointment was still further augmented at tea o clock, by intelligence from the look-out cruizers stationed along the shore from St. Abb's Head, that at that hour there was no appearance from the mast head of the Royal squadron. As the news of yester day furnished every reason to expect the grand entry of the KING this day, the greatest disappointment prevailei; and as the gale still blows fresh, it. is quite impossible, and it is said even with the aid of a steam boat, to make head up the Fiith this day. A roe-buck of unexampled size was shot at Bu chanan House on Tuesday, for the use of his MA JEsTY. It has been seen and approved of by Sir WIL LIAM CURTIS, who is at present the principal object of attraction in Edinburgh. The worthy Baronet parades the streets in a frock•coat, white trowsers, with a foraging cap. He takes a part with Sir WALL TER SCOTT in all the arrangements for securing an abundantly hospitable reception for his MAJESTY. We are sorry to learn that three or four persons who were injured by the falling of the scaffold on the Castle-hill, while the Regalia was passing, are since dead. The following fact dtmonstrates the great anxiety which prevails iq the West of Scotland to see his MAJESTY : On Thursday night, about nine o'clock, a covered caravan, containing eight weavers, from Dairy, bound to Edinburgh, arrived at a public-house in the Gallowgate, Glasgow. They kept the landlord up all night, and only spent four shillings in meat and drink. They were well provided with boiled ham, a boa of boiled eggs, a large cheese, a sufficient quantity of ban nocks to serve them for ten days, and a keg of good whiskey to keep the cold from their stomachs during the nights, as while in Edinburgh they intended to sleep in the caravan. PRIVATE LETTER. " EDINBURGH, TUESDAY EVENING, SEvEN O'CLOCK. 41 We are all anxious for the landing of our So VEREIGN on the shores of his ancestors. Edinburgh, because it has now and then skewed itself Whiggi,h, has been set- down by some as a Radical city. Let every oneohave their own opinion —but I am certain, whether she is pronounced so or not, his MAJESTY will not experience any other than a welcome and loyal reception. The crowds on the Calton hill yes terday were truly astonishin; ; and as our SOVEREIGN did not appear by the evening in the Frith, they re tired to their homes, expecting this morning to find the Royal squadron in the Roads. A very fresh gale from the west this morning disappointed their hopes. It has continued all day without abatement. The crowds are still greater : all seem bent on one object— the appearance of a sail in the German Ocean. Sonic may say these crowds were collected together fiom idle curiosity—but the vast expense individuals are putting themselves to for the approaching don, and to make his reception grand, is completely ' against such a consttuction. 44 There are individaals here who were present on the same occasion in Ireland, and who are of opinion, that the preparations in this city, even exceed those of the Metropolis of Ireland. " The population of our city is 110,000, and it is said we have now, or shall have, 300,000. This morning I saw the Marquis of &Luton') and Lord FRANCIS GOIVIIR march along the streets at the head of their followers, amounting to about 60, preceded by three bagpipes. The M'Gregors, under Sir EVAN *Gamma, I have also seen, a line body of men, amounting to 4.0 or 60. The Bread albane, Huntley, and Glengarry Clans are also al.• rived, and each headed by their Chief; and with the addition of the Celtic Society, or Club, of whom 60 turned out on Monday, we shall witne.s a body of 200 men, in the real Highland costume. The dress of the Celtic, is mixed, from their being Gentlemen of different Clans in one body, but quite splendid, though I think too much modernised—while the tenants from thesNorth bear the true appearance of the Highlander, both in figure and dress. 6 , Nothing appears in our streets but splendid equi pager. It is like London in miniature: I sly in mi niature, beoause the bustle is not so widely extended; but in our principal streets and thoroughfares it is equal, if not greater, which our wide streets may easily allow. We have many Noblemen and Country Provosts I suppose I may call them, for this is THE Fout. The latter sport their equipages, if possible, to equal 'the Nobility ; but we will only allow that, if all the colours of the rainbow mixed would make an equipage splendid. " At two o'clock to-day, a report reached town that a fleet seen this morning, at seven o'clock, in the distance, and which could not be pronounced the Royal squadron, had actually &lien it; and that, driven to sea, they had actually made for Dunbar, where his MAJESTY had landed, arid had arrived at Dalkeith Palace in one of Lord LAUDERDALE'S car riages. This I think improbable, as the surf would make it impossible to land at that port. We all know what a dangerous bay that is. The report gained ground, and sent many to rest their weary limbs and anxious hearts; though, alas! like myself, quite dis appointed, from the wind being so strong in the west that the signal guns could not be heard. P.S.—Eight &Clock. " lam just returned from the CaltoooHill. The evening is fine, but . there is a mist on the oceanat times the Bass can be discovered faintly—the wind has fallen, but still due west—the squadron not in sight. —Thousands on the Calton Hill—all anxious. but not a little disappointed. The tide is flowing very quickly, and it will be high water about eleven o'clock. To-morrow morning will, we hope, spew us the Royal fleet in our Roads. " The Krwo's carriage has certainly gone off, in the event of his MAJISTY s landing at Dunbar ; but Sir THOMAS BRADFORD, Comman.ier of the Frces, had heard nothing of his arrival there at four o'clock— Dalkeith is lye miles off. The Castle is the nearest fort, and 1 have heard no salute:' EILTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER. " EDINBURGH, TUESDAY, FITE o CLocK. " Peeple continue to crowd to this Metropolis, and many of them, especially those in Celtic attire, have not been able to restrain their anxiety to wear the costume. Many of the superior Celts are gay with Cairn Gorum buttons, and have tl e bloon s of their thistles formed of Scottish amethysts. Per: aps it may be from the gaudy sheen of the tartans, :hat Edin burgh has become a Celtic City. The R(,. al Archers have tartan uniform, although the bow v as never a favourite weapon with the Celt , ; and the LORD PRO VOST himself has put on his illumination board, the words ' Rich Albans Gubrath, which by helping the grammar a little may be translated Albion'o King for ever."fhe ' Pater,' which has been placed with such admirable effect in the front of the Excise Office, has been beset with the word Salve before, and the word Patrice after, so that the central term has been diverted from its original and appropriate meaning. The streets present 'a most motley spectacle of Men from every part of the country, and the varied mo dulation of their tongues has a very strange effect.— The Highlanders are the most loud, and they seem to feel all the consequence which the possession of the dirk gives them. Still, notwithstanding the pale winking of the Edinburgh lamps, and the weakness of the Police, all goes on most quietly. Only one Highlander has hitherto laid his hand on his skian dltu, and he was grossly insulted. " The Scottish Peeresses have declined taking their station on the scaffolding in front of St. Giles's, be tween the Magistrates and the Clergy ; and the Scot tish Peers have declined forming part of the procession from Leith, on the ground that they were not pre. pared for so stately a solemnity. " The Caledonian Hunt are all to be invited to the Ball given to the Peers by the KING, and they them selves are to have a grand Ball. " Fisher-row has some hopes that it is to have a new rivalship with Leith Pier about the Royal land ing ; and, accordingly, 400 men have been, since the winds became contrary, employed in constructing a platform. " The Duke of ROXBURGH, who formerly declined taking any share in the Royal Ball, has now come forward to be admitted. " The Earl of KINNOUL has arrived in Edinburgh, to discharge, as is supposed, his office of Lord Lyon King at Arms. " There has been a misunderstanding among the Antiquaries about the colour which should be warn in the favours: Sir WALTER SCOTT said " blue," and blue accordingly was the word, if not in the stock ings, at least in the garters, of Edina's dames; but it seems, after all, that the thing should be green a colour which, in stockings, Ladies do most cor dially hate. ' " LEITH, Timmer Evamira, Six ceCt.oci. " The Pier-head of this place is crowded with spec tators, many of whom have been here since yester day, anxiously waiting for his MAJESTY'S arrival. Shouli he land at any other port, they will experience a severe disappointment. The different vessels lying here at present have their streamers floating, and everything is prepared to receive his MAJESTY with all due honour. Devices for the illumination are affixed to the Custom House, consisting of St. An drew's Cross, Thistle, and Impel ial Crown, with the inscription, " Hail, Scotia's Kings' A black board, stuck up in front of the Hospital fur seamen, ealaibits • in large letters, cat out of the wood, the blunt but honest tribute of Welcome, Gemmel" The PRO. .YOST of Perth has arrived in grand state, attended by some of the minor Civic Functionaries of his town, for the purpose of offering their loyal congratulatio ns to his MAJESTY on his arrival in Scotland. They Claim precedence of the Corporate Body of Glasgow and the Perth Paper urges them to in s i s t upon it. , " Some circumstances incidentally occur.which tend to bheW how far the. greater proportion of the peopl e can be influenced by political feelings at a juncture *ben it might naturally be suppo s ed such feeling s would have been suppressed, in deference to the pe- Culiar occasion. An Address, which i, t‘i i e p:e sewed to his MAJESTY by one of the tried. l citate4 Trades, contained, originally, this sentence:—' W beg leave to assure your Majesty -of our loyalty aria attachment to your Majesty's Person an Govern. ment: The last word in this sentence was Annzio.: 3 to the majority of the members, arid they ins,,teJ its being expunged, which was accordingly dime'.4... This is only one specimen of the sentiments that prevail in Edinburgh with respect to the present Administration. Two triumphal arches have been ereete.l at the extremity of Leith Walk. One stanch immediately opposite to the place %Oleic hi:. MA JEsrY is expected to land, and might serve for any thing but that which it is intended to represnt..--- Underneath a clumsy emblem, more like a nightcap than a Crown, it exhibits the following inscription r Scotland hails with joy the visit of her King.' The other arch is better designed, and m re i;i c racuer with the purpose. It stands farther on toward EJin burgh, and is a wooden structure tastefully fentoonel with green foliage, having on one side a ship com pletely rigged, and on the ocher the rept esentation of an anchor, as emblems of commerce. Over a gal lery near the barrier, si here his MAJESTY is to , e . ceive the keys of the City, and which is intended li the accommodation of the Lotto PROVOST'S family, t'ne words, We come to welcome our King,' are writ ten in large characters."

The absence of the KING, whose presence diffuses icy and hilarity wherever he takes up his rei:dence, ha. kept lb izbon rather thin of company ; but our lod.;ing-houses are filling ap in the expectation of his Alsaarry taking up his abode at hi, fa vourite residence, on his return from Scotland: We have this morning had several very singular rumours :1b.:7 The death of tie Marquis of LoNnosossur occ.iiioned place, as it must have done every where, sensations not to be scribed ; but let us not dwell on this melancholy subject. Thit morning, at nine o'clock, a Messenger arrived here, e.- press, with dispatches for his Royal Highness the Duke of Yoic. of such a pressing nature that, before ten o'clock, hi; R0y.21 Highness set off post for London. The cause of this hasty move ment was variously accounted for. There are people here who consider the possible contingencies connected with the death of the Marquis of LONDONDRRRY, u suffitient to call for the presence of the Duke of Yon in London, without any other circumstance. The disarrangement of public business which the Marquis of LONDONDERRY'S death has created, is very considerable. It is the etiquette of the CabiLe:, that in the absence of one Secretary of State, his duty is pet formed by some other Secretary of &arc. Thus, last year, during the KING'S visit to Ireland, Lord BansuasT acted for both Lord SU:MOUTH .11111 the Marquis of LONDONDERRY; and it was ar ranged before Mr. PEEL lately left town for Scotland, that during his absencethe Marquis of LONDONDERRY should officiate for him. This his Lordship accord- ingly did, even when he was last in town on Friday; but in consequence of the sudden demise of his Ler.i ship, the business of his Office has now devolved ttro3 Earl BATHURST, along with that of the Office of 1: . • PEEL. We have now the offices of the three Secre taries performed by one—Nail:nein in usm. Earl BATHURST arrived in town on Wednesday', from his seat at Cirencester, in Gloucestershire, and had an interview with the Earl cf LIVERPOOL, and also yesterday. Yesterday Lord GRENVILLE had an interview With Earl BArtsuesr, at the Colonial Office. The French Ambassador, Baron FAC El., the Am bassador from the NetherlAnds, and most et 1::e foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, have tiansac—l business at the Foreign Office within these few slAy ., , since the death of the Marquis of LoxooNos:i:nv. The CrIA NCELLO of the Exurb:Qt.:En left town Gar Blackheath, on Wednesday evening. We have great pleasure in contradicting the report, that Cy rt peas, 1•:sq. of the Firm of I.ot:tats, Units; Hers, and Co. one of the passengers seriously injured by the overturnicr Belfast coach, on Thursday last.
