THE KING'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND. The arrangements for his MAJESTY'S visit to Scot• Land are now completed, and the KING will leave town on Friday morning next. The smacks which sail early in the week are all full of passengers, and the utmost bustle prevails in the Glasgow and Leith wharfs. It is expected that his MAJESTY will embark at Southend, in Essex, and not at Greenwich, as was at first mentioned. It is his MAJESTY'S intention to proceed directly to Leith, and to land and enter Edin burgh in state, on the day subsequent to his casting anchor in the Frith of Forth. His public entry will, it is expected, take place on Wednesday, the 14th in stant, and his stay in the Scottish Capital will, if pos sible, be limited to twelve days. FROM THE EDINBURGH STAR OF FRIDAY. The following is given as a Programme of the in tx.ded Royal Procession to the Castle; it may, how ever, be subject to future modification : kis understood that one of the earliest objects which may be expected to attract his MAJESTY'S attention, is a visit to the Castle. This is to be paid with all the pomp and circumstance of Royalty ; and as it may be thought that the arrangements of this day will, in ieir general outline, serve as a Model for all the after proceedings of the same splendid description, we shall describe them fully : The Kum will proceed from his Palace of Holyrood-house In an open carriage, drawn at the slowest possible pace; the Scot tish Regalia carried before him—those venerable symbols of long-cherished national independence ; and attended by a nume rous and noble train, consisting of his great Officers, and other personages, distinguished for rank or official station. His MAJESTY will pass up the Canongate, High-street, and Lawnmarket, between two lines of his subjects, disposed, under certain arrangements and classifications, on each side of the streets leading to the Castle, and who are to remain firm on their post, in order again to enjoy a sight of their Sovereign, as he returns from the Castle to the Abbey. These arrangements appear to he made with admirable taste, and to be calculated to produce the most splendid and impres sive effect. From the Palace, up to the commencement of the High street, the Canongate is be lined by its own inhabitants, mid those of its ancient ally, Leith. Along the High-street, as far as the Lawnmarket, the incor porated Crafts are to be drawn up on both sides, displaying, as in ancient times, their banners, and disposed under their seve ral Deacons ; the whole under the command of the Deacon Convener, with the blue blanket, which is said to have seen the Holy Wars. At the Cross a platform is to be erected for the whole body of the Magistracy, in their robes, headed by the Right lion. the Loan PROVOST, and attended by their Officers. Upon the balcony of the Royal Exchange, opposite, another platform is to be raised, which is to contain what may be re garded as the representative of Scottish beauty—in the persons of several hundreds of the finest women in Scotland; these are to be admitted by tickets from the LORD PROVOST. Other gal leries, for the same purpose, will he erected elsewhere. The Clergy are to occupy an erection infrpnt of St.Giles'sCharch. The open space before the County Rooms, properly levelled for the occasion, is to have a stage for the accommodation of die Judges of the four High Courts of Session, Justiciary, Exche quer, and Jury, attended by the members of the Faculty of Ad vocates, and other legal bodies. From the Lawnmarket, as high as the Castle-hill, the street is to be lined, on one side, by Gentlemen of the neighbouring Counties, with their Lord Lieutenants and Deputy Lieutenants; and, on the other, by the Professors of the College, the Rector and Masters of the High School, and other Academies of the City ; the boys wearing silk sashes and Scottish bonnets ; as well as by die other classes of inhabitants, ranged under their legal or conventional leaders. Tke Castle-hill is to be guarded by a large body of Highlanders in complete national costume, through whom the Royal Process Sion is to pass Into the Castle. It is understood that his blAJzrre will return to the Abbey In the same order. It is not yet finally determined whether his MA• jury will land at Leith or Trinity Pier. Should his MAJESTY disembark at Leith, a Triumphal Arch will be erected at Garfield-square, the bounds of the extended Royalty, where his MAJESTY will receive the keys of the City. It is understood that his MA JESTY will proceed to the Palace by the new road through St. Ann's Yards, and guns are to be placed at stances along the summits of the surrounding bills to fire salutes, which, with the cheers of the int imate multtude that will be collected on the hills, will welcome bis of his ancestors. A huge bonfire is to be 'lighted on the night which succeeds the ' It is nbt proposed to tuur than on that of the Banquet. We understand that the Celtic Society are to form four companies, in the complete Highland costume, for discharging the duty of Guards on the Lord High Constable and Knight Marischal. In the latter capacity they will mount a constant Guard on the Regalia till these honours of Scotland are returned to the Castle. Sir JOHN Hose, Bart. of Pinkie, Lieutenant-Colo nel of the Royal Mid-Lothian Yeomanry Cavalry, has issued a Regimental Order to the members of the Corps, intimating that the Regiment is put under the orders of Major-General Sir THOMAS BRADFORD, K.C.B. Commander of the Forces in North Britain, preparatory to the arrival of his MAJESTY, and to continue during his stay in Edinburgh ; and the mem bers are to be in readiness to turn out on a moment's notice, in the best possible order. The Right Hon. Lord MONTAGU has arrived at Dalkeith. His Lordship, no doubt, wishes to super intend personally the extensive preparations now making at the Palace for his MAJESTY'S reception.- His Grace the Duke of ATHOLL is to occupy Lary SNAFORTH's house in Charlotte-square. An elegant mansion has been taken in Queen-street for the Right Hon. the LORD PROVOST and Magis trates of Glasgow, during his MAJESTY'S visit to this city; and a state coach, with the arms of the city of Glasgow on it, is in preparation for that occasion. Tuesday, the Town Council of Aberdeen resolved, that a Deputation of their number shall proceed to Edinburgh, in order to present an Address of Con gratulation to his MAJESTY, on his arrival in his an cient Kingdom of Scotland. We have received the French Papers of Thursday and Friday. Those a the former day possess little interest, except some speculations as to the approach ing Ccngress in Italy. Those of Friday are of con siderable importance, so far as relates to the state of parties in France. The Monifeur, of Thursday, publishes at length what in France is called the Act of Accusation, or, as we should term it, the Indict- ment against General Berrrori and his accomplices in the conspiracy at Saumur. The number of persons accused k 56, of whom 18 have fled. General BERTON, and 37 others, are in custody. The object of the conspiracy is stated to have been to destroy the Kixes Government, and to excite civil war. The indictment then details the pro ceedings of the conspirators up to the time of their detection. It states General BERTON announced that the rising was general throughout all France ; that a Provisional Government was established, and that the Ma. cpis de la FAYETTE was declared Generalis simo of the Armies. But the most important part of this document is that in which four of the most distinguished Nlorn hers of the Opposition in the Chamber of Deputies are implicated in the plot of General Bearom. The Act of Accusation states, that there existed a secret Society, the object of which was to overthrow the Government. This Society was directed by a Com mittee sitting at Paris, and BERTON was the principal agent in the Departments of the West. He confesses, in his interrogatory, that it was GRANDSIENILLE who came to seek him at Rennes in the month of February, to conduct him to Saumur. This GRANDNIENILLE made frequent journies to Paris. He has stated that he had intercourse Kith the Generals FOY and LA FAYETTE, and with the Deputies LAFITTE and BEN JAMIN CONSTANT. It is under the tricoloured flag, with cries of " Five la Liberte ! Five Napoleon II." and with the title of the General-in• Chief of the Army of the West, that BERTON marched, with a band which he had raised, upon Saumur, with the inten tint► of taking it. Such charges against the Deputies were not likely to pass unnoticed, and accordingly, on Thursday, when the item in the Budget for defraying the charges of the Chamber of Peers was introduced in the Cham. ber of Deputies, M. B. CONSTANT adroitly took oc casion to mention the situation in which this Assem bly stood with regard to the administration of cri minal justice. He accused the Members of the Upper Chamber of being what we could call placemen, and therefore incapable of giving an impartial judgment in cases between the Government and the Public.— These paid Peers," said he, " are anti-constitutional and dangerous ; they destroy the independence of the Chamber, both as a legislative power and as a Court ' of Justice. Such an abuse (continued the speaker), at all times injurious, must be mole so at present, when the Government is favouring informers, or at least is receiving all the inventions of pretended con spiracies—conspiracies of which the Chamber of Peers may ultimately become the judges—conspi racies in which the Government eagerly accepts all denunciations—in which the agents of power, as in the Arabian Nights, call for the invention of the most strange tales—the evidence of witnesses who are dead —the evidence of fugitives ---the hearsay: of every person who can make up a tale of no credit, and which only excites pity." The speaker was here interrupted by M. Ravin.- ram, who cried out from his place, " Hare we not proofs of the charge from the Tribune itself, and what need is there of more! M. B. CONSTANT, in conti. and the conspiracy to a party. He alluded with great propriety to the plots of Charles reign, in which the witnesses were not only paid by the Treasury, but lodged in Whitehall for their testimony. After some further observations, M. B. CONSTANT concluded, and M. Revecciasta, who had interrupted him, proceeded to the Tribune, but the first words which he uttered being,“ That the Members implicated should have an opportunity of shewing their connexion or want of connexion with the conspiracy," were followed by the PaastnaNes declaration that they were irrelevant. A warm al tercation then took place•between the PRESIDENT and several Members of the left side, who demanded an opportunity for M. Retrzumuta to make good his charges, or to confess himelf a calumniator. M. LAYITTI, one of the Deputies whose name is mentioned, said, that when he saw himself mentioned in an official document in the Moniteur, as being an accomplice of sedition and treason, he could not sit -silent under the calumny, which he repelled with in dignation. He asked if himself and his brother De puties, who were enumerated in the same list, were to be considered as under the hands of the execu tioner ? The calumny he denounced as founded n the hired evidence of the vile agents of P. , lice—of -the wretches who acted as purveyors for the scaffold, who began their vocation in the days of anarchy in 1793 ; and he demanded an inquiry from the Cham ber into the conduct of the Royal Procureur in giving currency to such a charge. The KEEPER of the SEALS defended the conduct of the Royal Procureur in drawing up the indict ment which embodied the statements sworn to in the first examination. General For followed the Keeper of the Seals, and inveighed in strong terms against the conduct of the public prosecutor, which he spoke of with indigna tion, " even with execration." " To put such calum nies," said he, ".in the mouth of absent persons, ac cused on purpose to create an impression against others which cannot be publicly removed, is an atr•- cious a . nd infamous perversion of the rights of a pub lic prosecutor." He likewise caled for inquiry. M. de la BOURDONSAY4 a Royalist Deputy, sup ported the demand for inquiry, though he saw no rea son for condemning die conduct of the Procureur• General. M. Taman, the celebrated Barrister, and one of the new Members for Paris, condemned in strong terms the part of the indictment IA hich implicated on the evidence of an absent party fun. Members of the Chamber of Deputies. General LA FATETTZ mounted the tribune, and spoke as follows:—" Whatever be my habitual in difference to the accusations and malevolence of parties, I think it my duty to add a few words to what my honourable colleagues have said. During the course of a career dedicated entirely to the cause of liberty, I have constantly desired the honour of being exposed to the malevolence of the enemies of that cause, under whatever form, despotic, aristocra tic, or anarchical, they opposed it. Ido not, there fore, complain, whatever I might object to the word proved, in the indictment; but I join my honourable friends in demanding the greatest publicity to the proof in the bosom of the Chamber, and in the face of the Nation. In such a case only shall we be able (my accusers and I, in whatever rank of life they are) to state without compliment, what for thirty years we have mutually to reproach ourselves with." M. de VILIALIt resisted the motion for inquiry on the ground that justice should be allowed to take its course. This stormy discussion was protracted till nearly seven o'clock, and then concluded in a violent and tumultuous manner. The PRESIDENT attempted to close the debate, which was opposed by M. CASIIIIR PERIER, who, addressing himself alternately to the right and to the PRESIDENT, exclaimed—cc It is an assassination! it is an atrocity !" M. LAFITTE.—YOU are cowards! yon wish to murder us, and you dare not listen to us I The PRESIDENT.—It is not your turn to speak. M. CASIMIR Realm—Thanks to you! it is an abominable treason! The PRESIDENT put the ankle of the Budget to the vote amidst the most violent tumult. The vow for the Chamber of Peers w•as agreed to. FRENCH FUNDS, Atm. 2.—Five per Cent.

We have received, by a Spanish Mail, Madrid Papers to the 23d ult. and intelligence of the same date through the medium of the French Journals.— They completely refute the false and infamous asset dons of the French Ultra Journalists, that a counter revolution had taken place in Madrid. On the con trary, the capital preserved the utmost tranquillity, up to the evening of the 22d ult. On the 19th, the KING, Qualm, and Palma, appeared in public, for the first time since the revolt of the Guards, driving through the streets of Madrid to the palace of the Retiro, and guarded by a detachment of horse mi litia.

The Ministry have been assailed by a multitude of accusations, both in the public Journals and in petitions to the nab for their dismissal. one of their alleged crimes was the appointment of Ge. neral Moatino to the two incompatible posts of Midi litary and Political Chief of Madrid. Another charge was that of having formed a plan for Incorporating the Constitutional Officers and soldiers of the Old Guard, viz. those who had remained faithful to their duty, with the remnants of the two battalions which capitulated on the 7th—a measure which it was ev:., dent would not merely disgrace, but imminently en. danger that small patriotic band, who had declared, one and all, that they would quit the service if called upon to submit to :Itch a degradation. The result was that the Ministers resigned. The investigation into the mutiny of the Royal Guard is carried on, and it is said that some particu lars have transpired which involve the Km; himself, but that these have been set aside, on account of the inviolability of the KlNds person. This .. right di vine to govern wrong," which protects the KING, does not, however, extend to his brother, the Infant D on Casinos, who has always been hostile to the Consti ttstion. It is said, that in the judicial proceeding re. lative to the affair of Aranjuez, May 30th, two wiz aesses deposed, that Don CARLOS was implicated in the conspiracy; and that the Prince was required by the Judge to answer certain interrogatorie s on oath. The Prince refused, and, it was supposed, would be sentenced for contempt of public justice. We do not presume to dictate to the Spanish Government what course it shall adopt towards a rebellious Prince, but we conceive that an Act of exclusion, like that which was so long meditated, and so nearly successful, against the Duke of long (JANISS H.) in this coun try, would be a remedy or a preventive quite within the pale of precedent from regular Governments and from Maffei times. The Princes appear to be con fleeted with the proceedings iu Madrid also. The accounts from the Spanish Provinces are ~ : c-nerally nerally favourable; the result of the Madrid mwtiiv appears to have prohned the best effects; and, i.; some conflicts, the Constitutionalists hale had the advantage. The mischiefs brewing on the sise ci France are kept steadily in view by the Spani,h Lion, who seem not at all disposed, at present, to 1 e either intimidated or deluded. The resolute, nni,! , 2- ' rate, and almost unanimous People of Simi:), nothing to fear beyond the momentary trout le arising from some local, transient, and fruitless efforr (%. mer cenary treachery, or factious despair. The Si , ani,h Papers are filled with Addresses, congratulating the Militia for their conduct on the memorable day of the 7th. Since that time the Militia perform all the military service of the capital, and form the guard of the Palace. This forenoon we received a Dutch Mail, bringing Papers to the Ist inst. An article from Vienna states that at the approaching Congress at Verona, in Septem ber. the Emperors of AUSTRIA and RUSSIA will at. tend in person, but that the Courts of London, Paris, and Berlin, will send Ministers. The Porte declines having anything to do with the Congress, on the ground that it has no political relation with the Christian Powers which can make it necessary to conclude new treaties. It is said that the . Emperor of Russtt will extend his journey beyond Verona, and visit Rome. The following are some further particulars relative to Scio, from private letters from that Island: " The Greek population of the Island, which was formerly estimated at 110,000 persons, was now rc• duced to 20,000, so that 90,000 have vanished trona the Island ; 45,000 of th es e are women and children, who have been carried into slavery : 41,000 persons were already carried away, exclusive of those which the Turks have clandestinely taken with them :- 25,000 persons had lost their lives, of whom many were burnt in their houses, or carried off by the con tagious diseases caused by pestilential exhalations cf the unburied corpses. The harbour was so full of dead bodies, that vessels were impeded in their course by them. , e Among those who have escaped are 5,000 w 1 : 0 were absent at the time of the catastrophe, and 15,000 have fled, to avoid death or slavery, to Ipsara,Smyrni, and other places, where they are in the most deplo• rable state of distress. The city, and 44 of the 66 villages that existed on the island, are plundered and destroyed—the booty made by the Turks is immense• Behid, Pacha of three tails, the Governor of the island, is deposed or banished, and Apti, Pacha of two tails, appo►nted in his stead. It is reported that all the Asiatic troops are to be sent away from the Man!, and only 4,000 Arnauts remain as a garrison." • Yesterday, Mr. Secretary Pam., attended by Mr. STRATHFLELD, his Private Secretary, and Mr. Han .ER, the King's Messenger, left town to be in readiness to attend his MAJESTY at Edinburgh. The ICING'S yacht, the ROYAL GEORGE, is arrived off Greenwich Hospital, and the stores, &c. for 1114 MAJESTY'S voyage to Leith are putting on board. — The ROYAL SOVEREIGN yacht, Captain ADAM, And the PRINCE REGENT, yacht, Captain Sir Mictimst. )101/R, with the PHAETON and Eozari friptes, and CAINSLION sloop of war, are already at the Nore, and there await the arrival of his MAJESTY.
