The KING having been expected as early as three o'clock on Tuesday, the whole of the garrison, under' t h e orders of Lieutenant-Colonel DE BURGH, con otiog of the 10th (or King's Own) Hussars, corn yuded by Major STA mrrow, and the 2d (or Queen's loya l) Infantry, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel joloA N, were formed in open ranks, ready to receive h i s MAissrv. At ten minutes past six o'clock they ba d t he grateful duty to perform of dropping their we ds and colours, after which they were marched to t h e ir barracks. The Mess-house of the Officers of teed was magnificently illuminated, and a dinner too k place in honour of the occasion, given by the blots to General Sir JOHN DoYLE, and many of the distinguished visitants of Brighton. An united procession of the inhabitants and visi tors o f the place, to welcome the KING'S arrival, as originally intended, having been prohibited, together w i t h the lighting up of the houses on the occasion, thou s ands of persons congregated on the N orth Sterne and Level, not marshalled into ranks, with systematic order, but all actuated by the most loyal feelings. Through this immense - assemblage of our Population, his MAJESTY passed, amidst shouts and acclamations. His MAJESTY had no military escort E K IN G who reigns in the hearts of his subjects s eeds none. At the north gate of the Palace his hwestv was received by a U uard of Honour, com posed of the 10th Harsars, and the gieen's Royals. with their bands, the latter playing the National An them. The Church bells struck up an enlivening peal, and every heart seemed to rejoice. Admiral Sir EDMUND NAGLE, General Sir WM. Tom, and Colonel TIIORNTON had arrived at th e pavilion by four o'clock ; Lord Sr. list. ENS came in yesterday, and Lady BLOONIFIELD and others of the loyal suite, are expected this day. 'The Very Rev. the Dean of HEREFORD is again wog us. Lord DE LA Zouctr, the Marquis and Marchioness Diet/MG/IAM, the Earl of EGREMONT, Colonel and i<lissWm:lslam, Lord ERSKINE, Lady GASPARD, Lady MONTAGUE, and Count ORLOFF, are among the arrivals. St DAVID SCOTT met with a slight accident, in consequence of a fall from his horse, a few days ago. We understand that his MAJESTY, during his res dace at Brighton, is anxious to remain as quiet and unobserved by the townspeople as possible. He wishes to be able to go out unattended, to walk in the town, and miter the shops without notice, and to enjoy all the privileges and familiarities of a private Gentleman. unfettered by the homage paid to Royalty. This is scarcelypossible, however much it may he wished by !is MAJESTY ; for wherever he goes the loyalty or agility of his subjects will attend him. Ifis MAJESTY is not expected to reside in town :gin till after the Christmas holidays. %Viten his MAJESTY was on his return from Nano ter, he dined at Cologne. At table, the KING rose and addressing himself to Prince FREDERICK and the Prussians who were present, said, " I drink to the bedth of my good friend the King of Prussia." The Duke of WydANorost has expressed his in- Mimi of being godfather to the infant son of Lieu usant-Colonel Sir Itorsztur and Lady STEELE.

Exeter has not been so gay since the Noble Mar quis left it, as it is at present. To the fostering aid of Sir LEWIN GLYNNE, and the Ist Dragoon Guards, u may ascribe the change. The Earl of ALBEMARLE has taken Lady FRANCIS'S halm, in St. James's-square, for the season. We are sorry to hear that Mr HENRY SEYMOUR is seriously indisposed, at Cholmondeley House.

FROM THE DUBLIN JOURNAL OP MONDAY. From our intelligence received this morning, we can perceive no symptom of returning tranquillity in the southern counties. About one o'clock, on Wednesday morning, the house of the Rev. HENRY BEVAN, Vicar of Bruree• county of Limerick, was attacked for arms, by a nu-' merous body of insurgents, consisting, it is said, of some hundreds. Mr. BEVAN, with his son, and ser vant, made a stout resistance, and finally succeeded in compelling the banditti to retire, with several killed or wounded. The particulars of this affair are highly ' creditable to the cool intrepidity of the Rev. Gentle man and his assistants. The banditti forced the back gate leading to the yard, but a brisk fire from a win dow that commanded this point, prevented their approach. Being foiled in this quarter, they next proceeded to attack the front door, which was soon smashed by their sledges. They now called on Mr. BEVAN to surrender his arms; but having taken his station at the landing of the staircase, he was pre pared, and replied, 4 , Come on, you shall first have the full benefit of them:' The banditti were intimi dated—not one would enter—and as they crossed the door, either Mr. BEVAN or his son fired. In this state both parties remained for nearly three hours, and Captain Rock, dressed in a blue coat, pantaloons, cocked hat with feathers, and a white sash, appeared, when young Mr. BEVAN fired, and the shot probably took effect, as the Captain cried out ig Murder !" and the gang were instantly thrown into confusion. The party now retreated, and were seen between Bruree and Charlovilla, with a car, on which were three ' wounded men. The reports of the arms discharged during this attack were distinctly heard at the different houses for some miles round, and yet none came to Mr. BEVA N'S assistance, which sliews the terror that the marauders have impressed on the minds of all tht ough out the country. Mr. BEVAN deserves the highest praise, and, if his example were followed, the banditti would soon cease to disturb the peaceable and well disposed portian of the community. Thursday morning a party of the 40th Regiment had a skirmish, in the County of Kerry, with a body of the marauders. In considerable numbers they attacked the house of Mr. HEWSON, near Listowel, and the firing was heard by Mr. CHURCH, of Gerte nard, a distance of two miles. Mr. CHURCH, jun. Captain BALL, Lieutenant QUADE, with Mr. KITSON, Chief Constable, and twelve privates, marched to Mr. Ilawsoses house. They took a circuitous route towards the mountains, as they expected the banditti to retire in that direction,which accordingly happened. The marauders were challenged and desired to sur render their aims, but they fired at the soldiers, who discharged one volley in return, and immediately applied the bayonet, which dispersed them in all directions. Five prisoners, with six horses, two mus kets, and a carbine, all in excellent order, were taken, and brought into Listowel. Between seven and eight o'clock on Tuesday even irg, three men entered Mr. VIZE'S house, at Firhill, and ordered him to deliver up his arms: he gave them a pistol, and they retired seemingly satisfied, but in a few minutes ten men returned, and having dragged him out, they placed him on his knees, and present ing a pistol to his head, threatened to shoot him if he did not give them mote arms, which they said he pos sessed. In this painful situation Mr. 'V= was kept, until they searched his house, when they retired. On Friday morning, a party of the banditti visited the house of J. KELLY, near Limerick; they searched for arms, but having before carried off his blunderbuss and musket, they found nothing, and, as usual under such disappointments, they treated the inmates very roughly. On Friday evening, Mr. T. STEVENS was robbed of two muskets, within a quarter of a mile of Limerick, which he intended to deposit for safety in that city. By letters received from Mill-streets, in the county of Cork, and its vicinity, it appears that there is not a Gentleman's residence, from Kanturk to that:town, with the exception of Drisbane Castle, the seat of Captain WALLts, and Rathroe, the seat of DENIS MCA RTIIY, Esq. that had not been visited by those nightly disturbers, who prowl about in search of arms. In most instances they have succeeded. On Monday night a large party surrounded .the residence of C. 111`CA RTIIY, Esq. of Church-hill, and immediately forced open the back door; Mr. M'CARTHY and his sons being then in the county of Kerry, no opposition could be offered. After searching the house most minutely they obtained a sword and two shot pouches, with which they appeared so disappointed, that they proposed swearing a female in the house as to where any other arms could be found. They then proceeded to the houses of two tythe-proctors, and destroyed their valuation-books, and all their notes; after this they took the route to Rathroe, and broke some win dows, but offered no further violence. Thursday, a Meeting of Magistrates and Gentle men of the County of Cork was held at Buttevant, which was numerously and respectably attended. After the Hon. R. HARE, M.P. had taken the Chair, the Adjutant-General, Lord AYLMER, commander of the troops destined to protect that part of the coun try, submitted to the Meeting a proposition from Government, whether they considered it advisable to call out the Police in the disturbed districts, who wet* now ready?—when, atter sothe acassion, it was unanimously resolved to rely upon the troops destined for their assistance and defence, aided by the loyal and active inhabitants, and decline any as sistance from the Police—ftom a general feeling, highly creditable to the Gentlemen present, that how ever the insurgents and nocturnal marauders deserve to suffer any penalty, it would be ungrateful, as well as unjust, to levy a heavy acreable tax upon the ge nerally peaceable and well affected inhabitants, many of whom are to be found in the districts infested with those lawless intruders. The Magistrates of the eastern parts of the county of Limerick have called a Meeting, for the 20th inst. to take into consideration the most effectual means of protecting the unarmed and loyal inhabitants. They complain of the removal of the Police from some parts, and the reduction in others—but let them. arm and support those who deserve protection, at their own expense, and they would soon restore tranquillity. FROM THE LIMERICK CHRONICLE OF NOVEMBER 17. DARING ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—This morning, between five and six o'clock, as John M.Queen, of the 97th Highlanders, a sentinel posted at the King's stores in Mardyke, was walking from his box it the corner of the station to the extreme end of the build ing, an assassin t ushed from under the shed, near the stores of John Kelly, Esq. where the villain had con cealed himself until the soldier was within two feet of him, when he fired a pistol at his head—the sentinel had heard some noise in the direction, and was ap proaching to ascertain the cause, when he put up his hand in order to compress the light, and at that in stant the shot was fired at him—two slugs were lodged in his hand, and the powder completely burned the hair off that side of his head, and so stunned him that he could not see the ruffian, but heard him retreat towards the cross-lane leading to the Linen-hall.— One of the parish watchmen, on hearing the shot, came to his as•istance, and the guard having been sent for, a fruitless pursuit was made. The MAYOR and Magistrates have offered a reward of £4O for he apprehension of the perpetrator. Thursday were committed, by JAMES CUFF BLAKE, Esq. to the County Jail, in Mayo, John Mooney and Miles Sweeny, the former charged with being a leader of Ribbonmen and with having administered unlawful oaths—and both he and Sweeny are charged with the crimes of burglary and abduction. PROM THE CARLOW MORNING POST. A few nights ago, several trees were cut down on the estate of Colonel BUNBURY, at Cranavonan, near this town. We most seriously caution the country people against this sort of work—let them look to the South of Ireland. The Journal de Toulouse states that a schism has taken place among the French physicians at Barce lona. They are divided on the question whether the disorder, the ravages of which have been so fatal, is contagious or not. Swan:mi.—The following is extracted from a Swe dish journal of the 26th ult. STOCKHOLM, OCTOBER 25. AU that has been said in several foreign journals, respecting the motives which induced the Russian Minister accredited to the Court of Sweden to pro- . . teed to Christiania, to have an interview with the King, is wholly false. The sole object of the Mi nister's journey thither was, to make to his Majesty, on the part of the Emperor of Russia, some com munications relative to the affairs of Turkey. The following is the Copy of a Note inserted in the Allmanna Journalen (Journal General), which may be considered as official : o We have read, in some foreign journals, an arti cle from Stralsund, in which it is stated, that no changes have been proposed in the Norwegian Con stitution, in consequence of the representations made on this subject by his Majesty the Emperor of Rus sia, in his quality of guarantee of the Treaty of Kiel ; and, it is added, that this was the object of the jour ney of the Russian Minister to the King at Chris tiana. There is little accuracy in these assertions. In the first place, the Royal proposition relative to the changes to be made in the Norwegian Constitu tion, was laid before the Storthing on the 2d August, to be discussed in the next Session, as the fundamental law prescribes, which anticipated that experience might demonstrate the necessity of modifying some' of its enactments. 46 In the second place, it will doubtless suffice to observe, that, by the Treaty of Kiel, his Majesty the King of Denmark, having ceded to his Majesty the King of Sweden the right of absolute sovereignty over Norway, the guarantee of this Treaty can have no relation whatever to the Norwegian Constitution, which was not even mentioned at that period. Fi nally, it is known that the object of the journey of the Russian Minister to Christiania was quite foreign to the affairs of the North. " On the other hand, we saw in an English join.- , nal, of the 28th September, an article, in which it was stated, that 4 the King intended to change or overthrow the Constitution of Norway ; that in fur therance of this design land and naval forces had been put in motion; and that he only desisted from the execution of his projects, in consequence of the representations which the Russian Minister had made to his Majesty, by order of the Emperor his Sovereign. " It is not to reflecting minds that we need prove the falsehood of these absurd and ridiculous reports,' The independence of the Swedish Government began to develope itself at the period when the Emperor of the French wanted to compel Sweden to act against Russia. Those principles which constitute the na tionality of a State have been followed ever since that epoch with perseverance, and this system, which will preserve the Scandinavian Peninsula from all influ ence whatever, except that of justice, is at once an answer to the inaccurate statements which have been put forth. If the Minister read these articles, he must find a great difference between the language they impute to him and that which he really held. The friends of the liberty of the subject, and of the peace of nations, ought to be attentive, and watch more than ever those partisans of discord who endeavour to light up civil war in the different countries of Europe, by giving false notions respecting the pro...j ceedings of Governments to journalists, the best dis posed in favour -of humanity. • Ill& ARIIIIr. The inhabitants of Brighton are hinhly gratified at the rettra to that place on Friday of the detachment of the 24, or Qom's . * from Chatham. The gcntlernarly conduct of the Officers of this Regiment, and the peaceable and u:derly conduct of the men, have endeared them to the inhabitants. NAVAL lATALLIGENCE. Doves', Nov. 21.—Paavmximat Escara.—As a foreign brig, bound to Messina, was proceeding down Channel on Sunday, she observed, near the Galloper, a floating piece of wreck, whit a human being hanging to it for support ; and on nearer inspec ' dna the individual proved to be WILLIAM Dawn, one of the two Deal men who were supposed to have lost their lives in render ing assistance to the brig wrecked during Friday last on the Goodwin Sands. On being taken up he was in a state of great exhaustion, having been in the water from four o'clock on Fri day afternoon (the time the brig sunk) till the period of his de liverance, on Sunday morning. He passed through Dover this afternoon (having been landed near Dungeness), on his road to Deal, where, no doubt, his wife and nine children have, er• this, been blessed with the sight of a husband and a fathers whom they had numbered with the dead. The fishing smack Thomas and Ann, ---- master, has brought in here a quantity of linen and three empty cases two marked E S 15. 52, and one marked P 5. C. H.

EXECUTION IN SCOTLAND:ABERDEEN, NOVEXZEN 1 terday George Thom, convicted at the last Circuit Court of Jits. ticiary here, of murdering, by poison, William Mitchell, his brother-in-law, residing at Burnside, in the Parish of. Keig, suf fered the awful and ignominious punishment due to his crime, in front of the gaol in this City. Previous to his death, he wrote a certificate in vindication of his wife, and afterwards a letter to the family of Mitchell, expressive of his deep regret for the offence he had committed against them, imploring their forgive ' ness, and begging they would receive his wife with affectionate regard, as their sister, altogether free of blame. About two o'clock, the criminal was brought down to the lobby of the Court-house,where hi; shroud was put on, and his arms pinioned. He was then brought into the 011 Court. He appeared to be a good deal agitated, and was supported to the drop, which fell about five minutes after three o'clock, and he died without a struggle. He was 61 years of age. The crowd which attended was immense. The Staff of the Aberdeenshire Militia attended the execution, and escorted the body to the College for dissection. MULL'D SACK.--In an old work, entitled " Por traits, Bic. from the reign of EDWARD 111. to the Re. volution," is this account of MuLL'n SACK, alias JOHN COTTINGTON, so called from his drinking mull'd sack, morning, noon, and night. He was a most "notorious fellow:' He robbed OLivER CROW-. WELL twice; once as he was conling out of the Pasha. ment House, and once on Hounslow Heath; and when at Cologne, he robbed King CHARLES ii. thin in his exile, of as much plate as was valued at I:1500 : " The many various neat tricks Mailtd Sack played spots Lad. gate-hill, by making stops of coaches and carts, anti toe money that he and his consorts got there by picking ro:kev, would have almost been cno' to have built St. limits OttliedmL He plun dered a convoi of twenty of 40001. going by the foot of Shotcver bill, to pay the soldiers at Oxford. Several passengers, who went along with this convoy for a safeguard, were all friOsted, as fearing the loss of all they had ; but 'had Sack soon head them from that perplexity, by telling them they came not to take any money but what did as justly belong to them as to the persons who pretended to it ; it being the Commonwealth's money, which those great thieves at WEST 11 INST X X had fleeced out of the Public to pay their inferno/Joni:Aries, wl o mairetaived them its their tyranny and usurpation; while loyal honest sideects socre . ruintil and undone by their heavy taxes, villainess plunders, itc.'
