DUBLIN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 17. • At four o'clock P. M. I sit down to tell yon that one of the most glorious Processions that ever did homage to power and station, and in that homage expressed the unfeigned and universal devotion of the heart, is over. Writers for the diurnal Press are so much in the habit and had taste of applying height ' ened and overstrained terms of .description to objects of very minor importance, that, with truth, I can say that no suitable language is left me for the present occasion. The glorious day could only be seen ; its impression felt—to describe it is impossible. You have seen before now the prescribed order of the Procession, in the public prints ; the arrangement was so well digested and effective, that it was very closely adhered to. I was favoured with accommo dation in a house in Eccles-street, through which the Procession first entered the Capital from the Phoenix Park. About nine o'clock, the several Parishes, horse and foot, dressed in the reception costume—blue ribbons, blue silk scarfs, blue coats, ribbons and cockades in the hats; a medal Appending to every breast; silk banners, with well-executed devices; numerous white wands, with smaller banners, and the horses deco rated with ribbons. The Processions of the County wore pink colours and decorations, several bands of music, many composed of amateur performers. All these passed, in the most perfect order, towards the Park, to fall into the rear of his MAJEstfa carriage and suite ; they were more than two hours getting through the street : after which the way was lined by military, horse and foot, which, I suppose, must have been continued from the Park to the Castle. A long interval took place before the discharge Of al til ' fery announced that the KING had commenced his progress, but that interval was not without ample in terest. Eccles-street is handsome, consisting in ge neral of elegant houses, fashionably inhabited: every window, from the parlour story to the top, was filled; principally with females, dressed with all the im posing effect that fancy, taste, and enthusiam, could produce. The steps to the hall-doors of most were paled in, and on them and the railings of the areas were erected platforms, which were filled with elegant spectators of both sexes. The balconies were orna mented with festoons and knots of ribbon, and from many of the windows were displayed banners of blue and pink, &c. bearing, in many instances, appro priate and loyal inscriptions. Two pink banners from one house struck Inc particularly. On one, under the initials G. R. was a Scripture quotation, I think, as follows:—" And the King came among them, and the nation came forth rejoicing, and the people cried Gun save the King." On the other, having also the regal initials, was the following Irish couplet : " Caed mile faltha ruth Shoraha agra! Caed mile banaght deth As Erin go brash !" Which in English is, " A hundred thousand wel comes to you, GEORGE, our darling !—A huudred thousand blessings to you, from Ireland, for ever !" Thu parapets and roofs of the houses were nearly covered with. people : there was such an identity— such a cordial identity of feeling among all the spec tators ; such an Agrarian division, if I may so express it, of loyalty and exultation, that, in the pause before the approach of the Royal Procession, all seemed devising modes of entertaining each other in charac ter with the object of the day. In a number of drawing-rooms there were piano fortes and harps, whose notes were awakened to GOD save the King by many a fair and delicate finger, while, at the same time, it was sung and chorusscd, and echoed and re-echoed, and lauded in every di rection: Refreshments too, cake and wine, &c. were banded from several of the houses to the °Ricers on 1 duty, and to persons forming part of the Procession in coaches, and who were under the necessity of halting until the rest had got up. This was the state and ap pearance of the streets until about one o'clock, when the first gun was fired, announcing that his MaJrxre bad quitted the Park. Within a quarter of two o'clock the Royal coach appeared at the head of the street, when a scene was exhibited that beggars description. It would seem as if the very houses all Moved with animation ; the waving of handkerchiefs, flags, banners, hats--nothing could be seen that was not in motion ; and. the vault of Heaven, you would have thought, would have been 'rent with the huzzas and enthusiastic acclamations, proceeding alike from those in the windows, balconies, parapets, rods, &c. and the multitude of foot passengers in the streets. His MAJESTY received this delightful and invaluable tribute with graceful and impressive acknowledg ments. His hat was in constant motion of acknow ledgment ; and he bowed and looked in such a way that every individual in the immense multitude would swear that the fascinating distinction was meant ex clusively for himself. His MAJESTY looked wonder fully well, without flattery ; a King among Kings ; and his manner and countenance strikingly evinced how much he was affected by so strong and power ful a testimony of affection from his Irish subjects. ' Were I to live a thousand years, his countenance, manner, general appearance, and the whole scene, would not be effaced from my memory. I had the good fortune to catch his eye for a moment, and the effect was like magic. I felt my fate, as it were, identified from that moment with his; it was the irrevocable bond of loyal sentiment and devotion. —This day has secured to him the loyalty of Ireland, were be to reign more than an antediluvian term of years. Do not deem me extravagant—were you here to witness what I Witness, your appreciation of the effect . would not be weaker• or colder in the ex pression. His MAJESTY was dressed in a full I•ield- Marshal's uniform, a black crape on his arm, and a large blooming shamrock in his hat. His political tact equals the graces and fascination of his private manners. Sir BENJAMIN BLOONIFIELD and the Mar quis of ANGLESEA sat in the coach (which was open) with the KING. The moment his MAJESTY entered Eccles-street, the several bands struck up "GOD save the KING," which continued playing until his MA. JESTI .reached the barrier or triumphal arch, at the Rotunda, marking the boundaries of the City. This arch was very hastily erected, for, to say the truth, the City did their business rather clumsily; they were at work at it all last night, with torch light ; it is an imitation of one erected in honour of BONA PARTE, Italien, on the Pont Neuf, Paris. The front, facing down SackviP.e-street, and Carlisle-bridge, was entirely covered with laurel; and that facing the ap• proach of the KING, and looking up Cavendish-row, was painted with the City Arms, surmounted with a crown, and pilastres down the piers. Over the arch was inscribed— " Inc est tibi quern promitti szpius audis Augustus." Here the City Authorities went through the cere monial of presenting his MAJESTY with the keys of the City, &c. which he returned again ; after which the Procession resumed its progress to the Castle, where having arrived, at a signal given, the guns at die battery in the Park fired a Royal salute.— The KING, on arriving at the Castle, received some Addresses, in particular, and on the Throne, are from the Prelacy and Clergy of the established Church This Address, I am told, is the composition of the learned and classical Bishop of MeArtr, Doctor LEWIS O'BIERNE, a remaining light of that galaxy in which shone SHERIDAN, Benae, and Fox. This most excellent Bishop, elegant scholar, and good man, after this last exercise of his literary talent, might, in reference to the great and affecting event of the KING'S visit to and reception in Ireland, very, appropriately exclaim, " Lotto ! now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation."—The whole way from Eccles-street to the Castle exhibited a similar and emulous avidity on the part of the Public to express a due respect and devotion to the Soveteign. Balconies and platforms were erected in Sackville-street, at Mr. WILLIAM eNtenni Lss,a patriotic cloth-merchant; Mr.Sm rim apothecary ; DODD'S auction-room ; ELLIOTT'S auc tion-room ; at Alderman JAMES'S ; at the General NA-Office (that part appropriated to the residence of the Secretary, Mr. Lees); HOMES' Royal Arcade, and a number of persons whom I carutot now enu merate. Among the distinguished and exalted per sonages in his MAJesTy's suite, who challenged most admiration and regard by the urbanity and elegance of their manners, was the Prince ESTERTIAZY. I assure you that such was his polite, graceful, and en gaging condescension, that the house where I was, would most cheerfully, on any future occasion, sub scribe to an Austrian loan, although they were pretty sure of never receiving even the interest. It was not intended to have illumination; until Monday neat, but enthusiasm will not be restrained by forms, and we are likely to have a grand illumination to-night : the Post-Office and other public buildings, besides various private buildings, are preparing. I have only to add, and most pleasing and happy it is to say, that down to this hour, half-past eight o'clock, I have not beard of a single accident or fata lity having occurred to damp the joy of this general, great, and national jubilee; and 1 have yet further to say, that never was there a day more favourable than this—it was calm, sunless, and clear—no dust, no rain, no extraordinary heat—in fact, Nature seemed to sympathise with our national feeling on the occa sion, and to make her agency subservient to our' wishes. In proof of the loyal enthusiasm felt and expressed by the people of this country towards their KING, I should not omit to mention, that in the house which displayed the two remarkable banners I have already mentioned, GOD save the KING was played on a grand piano -forte, and sun in a very superior style, . . and the following new words to the air were, in a printed form, thrown from the windows : • GOD SAVE THE KING!" Hark ! through her utmost bounds Erin with joy resounds, Greeting her Kum; From Albion's long envied shore, &net concord to restore, Comes he whom we all adore, Goo save the KING! Proud of his glorious freight, Neptune, in awful state, Bore us our KtNo; And, bounding his subject main, Blest in his gentle reign, AU join the hallow'd strain, Goa save the Kivu! Every green vale and hill Songs of glad triumph fill, Hailing our Kum ; More gratulous, proud, and gay, Here, on his natal day,' To raise the heart's welcome lay, GOD save the Ktsa ! Prince of our hearts and choice, In thee we still rejoice, Proud of our Kiva ; - To Etin's sons always dear, Erin thy smiles shall cheer, While she sings many a yeir Cos save the KING! And when were doomed to part, Grief to each Irish hcart, Blest be our KING! In Britons, oh! may he find Souls still true and kind, To sing with one voice sad mind Gon save the Kum! The illuminations are becoming general. The Post Office and Bank are beautiful. • His Marsh landed in Ireland on Sunday, the 12th of August, his Marassr's Birthday. 4 EXTRACT FROM ANOTHER PRIVATE LETTER. Sackvilli4.treet, Dublin, Two &Clock, August 17. The day, so Very anxiousli - looked upon by Irish men, for the KING'S public entry into the Capital, has arrived ; and the grand Procession has this moment proceeded along this street, which is the principal one here. At the top, near the Rotunda, was an elegant arch thrown across the street, entwined with laurel and flowers, where his MAJESTY passed, on which occa sion the keys of the City were delivered to him, and he was addressed by the RECORDER. The 78th High land Regiment, and the 4.3 d, lined the street about' this part. The Procession moved forward. A long line of carriages first pteceded with Nobility, &c. Next the LORD MAYOR, then the LORD LIEUTENANT, followed by the K iNc; ; and in the rear were innumerable car riages, filled with the Corporations and private in dividuals. The national airs of St. Patrick's Day in the Morning and GOD save the King, were played by full Bands. His MAJESTY was in a coach and six, which was thrown open at top, and dressed in Regimentals, wearing various Orders, and alight colcured scratch wig, and a great shamrock in his hat. The Pro. cession moved at a slow pace, and every one had a full view of the Aim:Altai, who appeared highly pleased at the various demonstrations of joy which were exhibited. The crowd was immense. All the windows were crowded with persons elegantly dressed, and the tops of the houses covered.with spec -tators. A sort of garland was hung from one side of the street to the other, at NELSON'S Monument, and in the centre these words—" GOD bless our Kixa, Ireland's Glory 1" The KING'S attention being at tracted to it, he stopped and read it. The Procession moved down to Dame-street, and the other places pointed out in the official notification of the day. When the KING returns to the Castle he is to re ceive the Addresses from the College and different Corporations, at a Levee to be held. No accident has happened, and the day has been favourable for the august ceremony. It is understood his MAJESTY has been in the City ihcog. taking a rapid view of it, and particularly the public buildings. Great preparations are making for an Illumination to-night ; and it is supposed the KING may pass one month in Ireland. Irishmen think he loves the place so much, that they say he will take up his residence for good, and here establish his Par liament ! The condescension he expressed at landing, with respect to drinking the health of his Irish sub jects in whiskey, has gone down with even the lowest individual ; and I need hardly add, has been mos t pulatabk to every man, woman, and child. NELSON'S Monument, the Post Office, Mansion house, and other public buildings, are decorated with flags, and Qrnamented with flowers; and flags are displayed from the steeples and eminences. The whole Process ion was conducted with the greatest order and regularity, and every Irishman is transported with a joy which it is impossible to describe. Almost every genteel person present had some article of dress of a light sky-blue colour. It has been pointedly requested in the intimation respecting the Levee, that no person appear in mourning.—Res ipsa lognitur. Trade is acquiring high benefit here at present, where there is a great circulation of money, and such a concourse of people has never, at any one pe riod, been known. The carriage used by the KING in the Procession, was Lord CLARZS old state carriage. PUBLIC ENTRY OF HIS MAJESTY. FROM. TILE FREEMAN'S JOURNAL, FRIDAY EVENING. This glorious and gratifying evcut took place this day, and certainly nothing at all like it ere: occ tr red in this City. Ilk MAJESTY was received by the Loan no ok. RECORDER, SHERIFFS, and Board of ALDERMEN', i n their robes. The RECORDER read the City Addres s , to which his MAJESTY was pleased to return a most gracious answer, and the LORD MAYOR presented the keys of the City on a silver salver. The caval cade then proceeded down Sackville- street, and through riug k h 4 through Dame-street, towards the Castle, a some cannon announced his entry, as they h a d d ope at twelve o'clock his departure from the P.tri, one in Sackiille-street, two in Dame-street, a n d an °. ther on Cork-hill, in front of the Exchange. Fl ag were waving from almost every window i n Sad. vile-street, and others of the principal street s , h which his MAJESTY passed; and the preparati ons f or the illuminations assisted in the splendour of die scene. His MAJESTY reached the Castle a few minutes before three, where he is at this moment, in one of the windows of the grand drawing-room, seeing tie personages who formed the Procession pass tinon: ! I the yard on their way home. The Paris Papers of Friday arrived this forenor , , but present nothing worth extracting. Thursdr being the Festival of the Ascension, the official 11,: 2eiterir was the only Paper published on that day. Notwithstanding the high terms on which the can. tract for the new French loan has been concluded, it bears a premium of nearly 3 per cent. in the Paris Market. The price of the ;odes on Thursday, 2t Paris, was 83 fr. 25 c. Every species of foreign Stock has improved, more or less, in value, a circumstance which must be allowed some weight in determining the question, whether the tranquillity of Earnrewm be maintained or not. The following are the last prices i—Prussian 5 per Cent. 81f ; Russian 5 p et Cent. metallic Stock 78 ; Neapolitan Stock 69;Spa. nish 56f ; and Austrian metallic 71. New York Papers arrived this morning to the 26th of July. The following are extracts: " NM YORK, KU 26. 4g The Duke of YORK, in compliance with the sug• gestion of the Bt itish Consul in this City, has ordered him td cause the remains of the late Major AN➢RS to be disinterred, and sent in a ship of war to Eng• land, to be buried in Westminster Abbey."

(Signed) " W. 11. SHIRREFf." OCCUPATION OF FLORIDA. General Jackson issued a Proclamation at Veto. cola, dated the 25th June, officially announcing that the Government heretofore exercised over Florida by Spain, has ceased, and that of the United Statoi established over the same. Thus is happily A peacefully terminated our disputes with Spain. The following extract of a letter, dated Rio day neiro, June 9, contains a more correct account that has, yet appeared of the recent events in that capital: We had an unpleasant affair here on the sth, is 'Wait troops, but principally the 300 Portuguese chasseurs, wok movers.
