01;1 THE KINGS VISIT TO IRELAND. We have received to-day, by express, accounts from Holyhead, announcing the arrival of the Royal squadron in Holyhead Bay, on Monday night, the landing of the KING on Tuesday afternoon, and his MAJESTY'S immediate departure to pay the Marquis of ANGLESEA a visit at his seat, of Plaesnwyd. As the melancholy tidings of his Illustrious Con sort's decease must next day have overtaken his MA JESTY at Plaesnwyd, they would no doubt pro duce an entire change in his MAJF.sYst's intentions with respect to visiting Leland. We think it probable that his MAJESTY may take up his abode for some time with the Marquis of AN GLESEA instead of returning w town; and that after a few weeks devoted to the retirement suited to his widowed state he may then proceed on his original destination. The high expectations which his MA naves promised visit has excited in the Irish peo ple, and the political benefiti which may be expected to flow from it, will render it a matter of extreme regret, should so auspicious an event be more than temporarily postponed. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE AGENT TO LLOYD'S AT HOLYHEAD, DATED 7TH INSTANT, ONE, P.M. The Royal Squadron came to anchor off this harbour at ten, P. M. yesterday. His MAJESTY does not land, and it appears very probable the squadron will be under weigh in a few hours. The wind is contrary, but moderate." EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER RECEIVED IT EXPRESS. Half-past five o'clock, P.N. Tuesday. The first beacon was fired at seven o'clock on Monday evening, at Holyhead, the Royal squadron being then ten miles off. The inhabitants were ani mated by the greatest enthusiasm. It was confi dently said that his MAJESTY would not land that night, and all retired to rest. At twelve o'clock the Royal yacht anchored in the harbour. The glad tidings were conveyed with the speed of lightning through the town. At one o'clock every house in the town was lighted with candles. His MAJESTY, we are enabled to state, wa s struck with adm iration at the appearance of the town. Until two o'clock it was understood that his MAJESTY would sail for Dublin at four o'clock in the afternoon, chiefly grounded upon the following letter, in answer to one from Sir J. STASLEY, the principal Magistrate here: " His Majesty's Yacht, Royal George, Holyhead Bay. August 9. "MY DEAR SIR—I have communicated to the KING the sentiments of loyalty and devotion which are contained in your letter, and in the Address which accompanied it, and I am commanded by his MAJESTY to signify to the Magistrates, Clergy, Free holders, and other inhabitants of Holyhead and its neighbourhood, that he duly appreciates the kind expressions of attachment manifested towards him on the present occasion, and that though; from cir cumstances, he is at this moment prevented from landing, that his MAsErry fully purposes, upon his, return from Ireland, to pay a visit to the always loyal ar.d dutiful Island of Anglesea.—l am, my dear Sir, Your faithful humble servant, To Sir Jou" STANLEY, Bart. " CHARLES PAGET. * But at two o'clock, P. M. the happy announcement was made, that his MAJESTY would land; and im mediately the beach and all the avenges leading to it were thronged with spectators. At five o'clock his MAJESTY landed on the Pier, amid a Royal salute from two pieces of ordnance planted before the Custom-House, and the ships of the squadron. Immediately upon his landing on the Pier, Sir Jona STANLEY, accompanied by a Deputa tion of the Inhabitants, presented his MAJESTY an Address of Congratulation on his arrival, to which his MAJESTY answered -4d That he received with peculiar pleasure this affectionate and loyal Address of a Principality, the title of which he had borne during so long a portion of his life." The spectators cheered his MAJESTY in the most enthusiastic manner. The carriage of the Marquis of Avutsszo was in attendance, and his Mourn set off for the Marquis's seat, followed by several other carriages, and by a procession of the people at least a mile long. The Marquis's seat is twenty seven miles hence. His MAJESTY, at present, ir.tends to sail for Ireland to-morrow, at four o'clock in the afternoon. His MAJESTY is in perfect health and spiriu. DUBLIN. PRIVATE LETTF.R. Sammy . , AUGUST s, 1821. As yet I can only speak of the enthusiastic feeling that precedes the Royal Visit, and, indeed, this is such as is difficult to desci ibe. All the Corporations, all the Parishes, ate arranging. under the direction ►. . of a General Committee, the mode of procession to receive his MAigsty, and, as 'mentioned in my last, a distinctive mark of dress or costume is to be adopted. A blue coat, buff waistcoat, white panta loons, and coronation button, with this device:— • A hundred thousand welcomes " 18—G. IV. R.-21, " In Ireland; and, in addition to the above, will be the light blue scarf of silk, or tabbinet, and a medal struck for the occasion. A fond bridegroom never had his home prepared for the temple of his happiness with more anxious solicitude than is exhibited in every part of this City—the fronts of all the houses painting, the new gilding of the Royal Arms over the shops, the preparations for illuminating, in which there is the most unlimited emulation of taste and expense ; the influx of strangers crowding and overflowing the Hotels and the public buildings—the Bank, Custom- House, Post-Office, and University, pre-eminent, all display a rate of preparation creditable to our glee- tions and their object. Last night was the benefit of Miss STEPHENS, at our Theatre ; the House was crowded in every part, and when, as is the fixed rule and practice with us, the band played GOD save the King, it was encored three times, the audience joining in vocal accompa niment ; and, at the close of the last repetition, an universal burst and shout of applause simultaneously succeeded, the Gentlemen waving their hats, the Ladies their handkerchiefs. On these occasions honest Pat always sports his characteristic wit. Our Na tional Air of St. Patrick's Day always follows GOD save the King, but on this occasion it was thrown so much in the background, that one of the god'; , ex claimed that " poor St. Patrick was put upon the fourth shelf instead of the second." MaIIDAY, Firs O'CLOCK. P.N. Lord SIDMOUTH arrived at the Castle about an hour ago,and dines to-day with the LUND LIEUTZNANT. A great sensation has been excited here by the news of the Gluten's indisposition; believe me that I do not write as a partisan, when I say it is the first favourable interest which has been excited for her in this country ; we being apprehensive that her death, should it happen, would prevent, for a while at least, the Royal visit. We expect his MAJESTY on Wednesday. He will proceed immediately to the Castle, thence to the Lodge in the Park. The neat day he will hold a Levee; the next, give a dinner to the Great Officers of State, Ambassadors, &c. the following, hold ano ther Levee; and on Sunday go to Christ Church Cathedral. In the midst of all. this joyful prepara tion sinister accidents will occur, The Marquis of CONYWOHAM had a splendid lamp, that cost siz hunched guineas, hung in his great room at Slanes, and immediately afterwards it fell; but it is hoped it has not been wholly demolished. A person has been sent down to repair it. Since the battle of the Boyne, no such interesting event has taken place in that neighbourhood ; and the Genius of the Boyne could not have been more alarmed when the Duke of &HO/ABEND fell into its arms, than at the lus trous crash. The Dublin Society have voted the erection of a statue, large as life; of the KING, to be placed in their Board-room ; it will cost £5,000: the Royal Aca demy,n portrait, which will cost £.500. EXTRACT FROM ANOTHER LETTER. DUBLIN, AUGUST 6. The preparations making here for the Krtra's re ception are very grand : all the roads by which lie is to pass, from his landing at Dunleary up to Dublin, and again from the Vice-Regal Lodge into the Castle, have undergone great repairs. Every county in ire. land has prepared Loyal Addresses, but, I believe, none more loyal and devoted than the county and city of Dublin. The County, the City, and the Ca tholic Body, purpose each to address him separately, in language of the greatest devotion. Indeed, all party-spirit, which has for so long a time disunited the inhabitants of Dublin, seems to disappear under the magical influence—the expected arrival of our Royal Master. Nothing but the greatest concord and harmony prevails. Sir B. BLOOMFIELD visited the Theatre on Satur day night, and on his being recognized, GOD save the King was universally called for, and was accom panied all through with the loudest and most rap turous applause. The Bay of Dublin will be covered with vessels filled with spectators, in order to see and greet his MAJESTY'S arrival; and I have no doubt the entire road from Dunleary to Dublin (a space of five miles), will •be lined by people, whose only emulation is to exceed each other in expressions of loyalty to a KING for.whom there is here felt an ardour of devo- , tion perfectly romantic. He is so accomplished—so graceful—he has been so friendly to the Irish—in fine, all his errors are considered 14 wanderings bf the head; but his heart is considered pure and warm; and every Irishman feels he has a. sympathy for such a man. His arrival is expected en Wednesday. ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE. " AU is yet uncertainty as to the day when his MA.. Jam may be expected to arrive in this City. The authority of the LORD LIEUTENANT ceases the mo ment his MAJESTY sets his foot on Irish ground, and his Excellency is to dine at the same table with the Great Officers of State, unless when specially invited by his MAJESTY. Arrangements were yesterday made for the accommodation of the Royal suit. Mr. MASH, I am happy to inform you, is fast recovering . - from his late accident. Miss STEPHENS, who is the grand attraction here this season, took the Beggar's Opera for her benefit last night ; the Theatre was ' crowded to a degree almost beyond any former pre cedent, and I should not be surprised to hear that last night would produce another GA R RICK'S fever in Dublin. The persons who crowded the lobbies would have been sufficient to fill the House on an ordinary occasion. Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD was present, and sat in the same box with Sir DAVID BAIRD.— The moment he was recognised by the audience, a shout of rapturous applause was raised from all parts of the house, and every Irishman was prepared to ideutify the Right Hon. Baronet with the proudest event in the histoty of his country. He appeared deeply sensible of this strong manifestation of grate ful feeling. The loyal air of GOD save the King was called for with a tumultuous exultation which it would be difficult to imagine, and impossible to de scribe. So great was the enthusiasm, that the au dience insisted on its being encored before they would allow the national air of Patrick's Day to be given. The additional stanza, which I here subjoin, pro duced something like a convulsive delight through .the house, and Miss ST:spitz:a surpassed her wonted powers in the execution of it : Braving the Ocean's roar, Gloaos seeks green Elk's idiom Blessings to bring ! Oh! how emit! tongue shall greet—. Oh! how each heart shall beat— While Ilasant and Earth repeat Goo save the King! The whole house stood up, the Ladies waving their handkerchiefs, and the Gentlemen their hats, while the gods indulged in transports of joy too astounding for description. At no time before did the Theatre, display more rank and fashion the lower tier of' boxes was occupied by the female branches of the Nobility ; and in the pit there were some persons of high distinction. The arrangements for his MAJESTY'S reception at the University are nearly completed ; the banquet will be the most sumptuous that was ever served up within its walls. The LORD LIEUTENANT will sit on the right of his MAJESTY, and the chair on the left will, at the commencement, remain unoccupied. The Provost, Doctor KYLE, is to wait upon the Km° with a plate of soup, when it is understood his MAJESTY will point to the vacant chair on the left hand, and confer upon him the distinguished honour of occu pying it. Before his MAJzsTy's reception in the Library, the Nobility and Gentry, all dressed in Irish manufacture, are to range themselves along the gal leries, the Ladies are to wear large white plumes. The following is the form of ceremonial to he ob served at the reception of his MAJESTY at Dunleary; approved by his Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT: CEREMONIAL TO RE OBSERVED AT THE RECEPTION OF HIS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY KING GEORGE IT. IN IRELAND.

The Meteor steam packet has just arrived here from Holyhead, after a voyage of six hours and a half. She had on board six travelling carriages, and no fewer than sixty-one cabin passengers, among Awn were Earl BELMORE, Lord Viscount ENNIS. MORE, Lords MASSEY and PORTARLINGTON, and Lords LotivAtue, HOTHAII, and DUNWICII ; with Colonels FRENCH and PEPPER, and Messrs. Unit, ODELL, SNEED, and SAURIN, with some other distin guished personages. From any-of these passengers nothing of a determinate nature could be learned re specting the arrival of his MAJESTY at Holyhead.— - They all agreed in the report that his MAJESTY would reach Holyhead this evening, or early to morrow, and would visit the seat of the Marquis of AISOLESZA, where preparations were made for his MAJESTY'S reception. Although this harbour is not less than nine Eng lish miles from the city of Dublin, yet the road was, from an early hour this morning, thronged with le• hides of every description, from the barouche and four down to the humble—but not on that account I the less important and noisy—tenpenny gingle.
