They bring the confirmation of the defeat of the Royal army near Quito, and the death of General lquaotoN, as stated in the STAR of yesterday. Ge. neral MoNTILLo had issued a Proclamation, announc ing that the imp.' tant department of Quito already belonged to the Republic of Colombia, and that the United States had recognised its independence. By a letter received. via Jamaica, from Lima, dated the 10th May, it appears the Royalists have beaten the Patriots in an engagement near Pisco, with considerable less and 900 prisoners. It also states, that the Royalists have altogether an army of 10,000 in Peru. the French Papers of Menday have reached 'us. They contain some intelligence from Spain, which will be found in our preceding columns. It appears • that a new Ministry has been appointed, consisting of persons who have given pledges to the Constitution or suffered for its sake. The intelligence from Greece is highly favourable. Greece Proper seems now in a fair way to be soon altogether cleared of the Turks. Thessaly, the richest and most populous province, is in a great measure free. Western Greece is naturally so strong, that if once the Turks who are now there can be disposed of, it will be difficult for the enemy again to recover it. These Papers contain a Proclamation, addressed by the Greek Minister of War to the Chiefs of the Western Army, which we subjoin. CORFU, JUNE 31. The army of Etoha has penetrated into Epirus in several places. One part was disembarked in the port of Glyeys, near Souli. Another on the coasts of Aria, and a third passed by Maerynoros. The following Proclamation has been addressed by the Ili:lister of War to the Stratarques (Chiefs of the Army), and to the soldiers of this part of Greece: " &reargue, and Soldiers of the Western .trmy !—The most cruel tyranny which ever existed, and the hope of li'uerating your coul.try, your parents, and children, have ntmle you tale up arm u. You have solemnly sworn to break in pieces the yoke, or pvriah to the last man, with a courage worthy of our cause. You have been resisted in some places, but in most of tl,e combat, in which you have been engaged, you have taught your enemies to dread you ; you have proved what the firm resolution of men can efeet, who, though few in numbers, contend for freedom. You have resisted alone, during a year, the whole force of an enemy, who threatened to invade your frontier, and pass into thbasloponnesus. At present, the Government has sent to you from this latter country,thelcgion of heavy armed infantry. It is accompanied by the• regiment of Europeans, who have come from afar to the succour of Greece; and who unite, with great valour, muck experience and knowledge of :Le art of war. A naval force is destined to assist at sea, the operations on shore, In smiting against the enemy. Our illustrious President is coining in person to direct the combined operations of both forces. " Stratarques of &oils and of Acaniania, you have fur a long . time defended your frontiers, and have constantly repulsed the attacks of the enemy. The new reinforcements will ensure his speedy and total destruction. Aud you, Soldiers of these cele brated mustries, who have never disgraced the valour of your ancestors, will not at present forget your duty. Remember your oaths, and hasten to the defence of your wives, of your children, and of your brothers, whose extermination has been sworn by the enemy. Your just and generous undertaking has cornpro tubed them for ever with the barbarians, In the middle of whom there is no longer any security for them. Your country now demands your exertions.

The. following are some particulars in confirmation of them, which are not less worthy of reflection: " The English Parliament has just renewed the Alien Billo for fear of that sect which threatens in every country order, religion, and the laws. " The Royal Tribunal at Paris has just called for the proceedings against the conspirators of Rochelle, as making part of more complicated researches.— Notwithstanding the rigour of the Austrian Ordi nances, the Society of the Carloonari deliberates and proscribes, - and finds bands to execute its sanguinary Decrees. Everything proves the existence ola secret organization, which-embraces in its fatal ramifications all Europe. The revolution, imperfectly extinguished, lives under its own ruins; it lives in the midst of ci vilization, which appears to have stifled it. The chain of time is no more broken for it than for Monarchy. The Committee of Public Safety revives under ferti lising influences, only it conceals itself: instead of oppressing France in the face of day, it undermines Europe in mystery and silence. "Let us imagine all union between States taken away—let us insulate Monarchy, that it may remain disarmed before the league of revolt. What will become of 'civilization ? What will it effect, thus divided, against an enemy so active, so subtle—who despises no means, loses no opportunity, and has for auxiliaries all the mean passions of the heart ? " What does it require to gain the upper hand ? A pretext of misunderstanding between the Cabinets, a doubt adroitly infused into the minds of the S we reigns, a splendid bait offered to credulous magna. nimity. Discord, with fewer resources, converted Olympus into a field of battle. " And il - 4ivilization were lost, where should we find it . again ? Would it be in Africa, that ancient bazaar of human flesh? or in Asia, which is falling back into childhood, from discrepitnde ? or in that America, whose Government proclaims, in the face of Europe, dogmas which will cause themselves to perish? Between us and baaarism, I see only the , Holy Ailiance. • " Honour to this august league! But for that, the world would be a prey destined to the Attilas and the Tamerlanes; nations would be like vile herds, reserved for the knife of the butcher. And it is the Holy Alliance.that is accused? accused, too, in the name of intelligence and liberty!" VILNNA, 31.—Metalliques, 79 11-16—Bank Stock, 7831. At CUST I.—Mttalliques, 80—Bank Stock, 788 24.

The Duke of DEVONSHIRE entertained Viscount and Viscounteis GRA N VILLE and a distinguished party at dinner yesterday. His Grace leaves town in a few days for his seat, Lismore Castle, Ireland. FIILDEIIICK of HOLSTEIN left trillion's Hotel, Al'Jew:We-street, on Tuesday evening, for Hamburg!). The Earl of HARRINGTON had a select party at dinner yesterday, At his house in the Stable-yard, St. James's. Lady PERT!! had a select card party yesterday evening, at her house iu Park -street, GI osvenor-square. The Earl and Countess CALautns have arrived at Tunbridge- Wells, from their seat in Kent. The Bishop of Ilz.v and family have left town for Ely Palace, Cambridgeshire. Lord Et.t.ntonounn arrived in town on Tuesday evening from the Isle of Wight, and immediately set uff for North Cray. Another new Comet, very small and undefined, without a tail, has,been discovered at the obsetva torics in Paris and Marseilles, July 20th and 26th; it is in the Constellation, Cephee. A file broke out yesterday forenoon, in consequence , of the boiling over of some pitch, at the Patent Rope manufactory, in Mired -street, Stepney, and the whole of the premises, with the stock and v?luable machi nery, and four adjoining houses for workmen, were wholly destroyed. This morning, at eight o'clock, a fire broke out in the upper part of a warehouse in Sheppy-yard, Mi nories, chiefly occupied by Me s srs. F ont an d C o . o f St. dildred's-eourt, as a depository for coffee. It consumed some warehouses, and did material da mage to a timberilard adjoining. The wind blow ing towards Hayden-square, carried a vast number ofthe sparks towards that direction : it happened that the windows of Mr. H tzz's house were open, into which the sparks found their way and set fire to the furni ture, which was instantly in a blaze, and we under stand most of this Gentleman's goods have been con sumed. Had it not been for the engines being at hand, the whole of the premises would have been down, but fortunately it was got under before the fire could communicate to any other house in the square. In the late fire Norrkoping, in Norway, 358 pri vate houses were burnt down, the value of which is estimated (taking the Land-tax on the basis) at 405,4/70 riot-dollark • • Ha ' The 'Hata-, noon, passed Head, was still vessels were in company. .• '•t•••` - *t- EDINBURGH, AUGUST 12. This morning an .express to the official authorities in this town, announcing the departure of his MAJESTY from London on . SAUK day last, and immediate orders Were given for cots. pleting without delay the necessary arrangements. for his Kwitny's reception. The state apartments of! Holyrood House are completed, Sind at ten o'clock this morning the ancient Regalia Of Scotland were removed, with military pomp, from the Castle to Holyrood House, where they were received by the Officers of State, and deposited in the jewel-room. The Regalia, which were discovered four .years ago, have been often described, and consist of a Crown or gold, adorned with precious stones and of very antique workmanship, a Sceptre of silver .gilt, wards of two feet long, surmounted by a crystal globe, and some antique chasing of Saints; a Sword of ,State, resembling the Highland broadsword, in a rich crimson velvet scabbard, and a silver gilt rod of office for the Lord Treasurer. The Mid Lothian Yeo manry Cavalry escorted the Regalia, and several parties of Highlanders . , with broadswords and targets, joined in the procession. The appearance of the prin-,, cipal streets this day is extremely picturesque from the bodies of Highlanders who promenade the town, playing national airs, with their favourite instrument the bagpipes. The shrill and discordant notes of this instrument seem to give the utmost animation to their movements, and the various hues of the Tartan dresses, while they distinguish the different clans, give a pleasing variety to the appearance of this mar tial costume. It is a most gratifying though some what an anomalous spectacle, to see the chiefs of those clans, whose principle of - ,action was never to forgive an injury, pouring from their native hills into the Scottish Capital to pay an enthusiastic homage to a Prince of the House of Brunswick. It is true the Royal line, for the maintenance of which these chiefs last apreared in a body in Edinburgh in the year 171.5, is now extinct, and with it happily seems also to have expited the remembrance of that sad, re tribution which his MaaesTy's predecessor inflicted upon the Highland clans who conspired against his' liwone. Their appearance, hciwever, cannot fail to be interesting upon his present MAJESTY'S entry, and the taste with which the Celtic bands have prepared their costume will add considerably to the splendid effect of the military pageant. It is a peace-giving occasion, and these Highland warriors are generous in fotgetting the past. The Civic Authorities are constantly engaged in preparing for his MAJESTY'S entertainment, and the details of their arrangements, though on a suitable scale,!consistent with the -ssorporate means, and as-• sisted by the Lord Chamberlain's department, can furnish no interest to a London reader. Hanging scarlet cloth, and yellow and gold trimmings, with ' painted and gilded coronets , and re-decorated na tional emblems, are matters of course on such an oc casion ; and they display neither new taste, nor ma terials for set ious description. Want of adequate room seems the principal fault in the arrangements, and this inconvenience must necessarily diminish the eclat of the Royal festivities. The town is crowded to excess ; the principal of the Scottish Nobility and a large pro portion of the Gentry, with their families, have al ready arrived ; but it is feared that, except at the Drawing-mom, the general accommodation will be inadequate to the admission of many Ladies at the public festivals. This is rather ungallant on the part of the Civic Authorities. The romantic hills which overlook this town ate now bristling with cannon and bayonets, and crowded with people, whose eyes are anxiously directed down the Frith of Forth, watching the movements of the numerous pleasure yachts, which cover this arm of the sea, and form a look-out squadron for the Royal flotilla s, they are constantly making signals since mid-day, 'Which are interpreted' by the spectators to notify the approach of his MAJESTY ; but the regu larly prepared signals for communicating that event have not been made so late as three o'clock, and from the arrangements made on the islands in the Frith, and on the shores ofSerwick, there is no doubt that the arrival of the Royal squadron at the mouth of the Frith will be instaralr . transmitted with tele graphic dispatch, and announeoti to the people of Edinburgh by guns from the Calton-hill and the Castle. 'The military mho are to compose the body guard of his MAJESTY, and the Highland clans, are to remain. under arms the whole of the day, and an escort is also provided at the shore nearest Dalkeith house, should his MAJESTY wish to land privately, and repair thither in the event of his arrival at night, and abstain from a public entry until the following •day. The general opinion, however, is, that the KING will remain on board the Royal yacht on the day of his arrival in the harbour, so as to admit suffi cient time for regular and definitive,arrangements for his reception on the following day. ' This jmorning, being the anniversary of the birth of our most gracious SOVEREIGN, the necessary ope rations commenced on the - Calton-hill, preparatory to laying the foundation-stone of that noble edifice, which is destined to perpetuate events that distin guished his Regency and reign, the achievements of .his Scottish naval and military heroes, and the epoch of his auspicious visit to the northern capital of Ms united kingdom. The masonic preparations in town and country are on a scale unprecedented in point of extent and mag nifiCence,- and truly_ worthy of the Royal Patron of their Order. His Grace the Duke of ATIOL, his Grace the Duke of Mosanoss, the Earl of ELGIN and KlNCAft nun, the Earl of LEVEN and Mittvaut, the Earl of ROSISIIiR ,Y Lord Viscount Mst.viLLE, and Rear- Admiral Sir DAVID MILNE, K.C.B. have been soli; cited by the Royal Association, and appointed as a Deputation to wait upon the Kum, and learn his Royal will and pleasure in regard to the day for laying the foundation-stone. A grand dejeuste was thistlay given by the Loin PROVOST to Viscounteu MELVILLE, which was at tended by all the rank and fashion which now grace this metropolis. We regret to state that a most distressing accident .4s forenoon, about ten o'clock, on the from the falling of a range of scaffolding • side of the parade ground, which was in state.

PROM THE EDINEUROII PAPERS OP MOICiPAT. EDINBURG H—Monday Afternoon, Three o'Clocli: We have just heard, from good authority, that tin; Knw will not land till tomorrow morning. The Committee for Managing the Seats on the Castle Hill, have, in the most liberal and haudsome manner, offered .50 tickets for the use of Officers . in the Navy, who are not otherwise provided with ac commodations, to witness the procession to the Castle ; 50 more, for Officers in the Army, under the same circumstances ; and 100, for so many of the Clergy of Scotland. We never remember such preparations for illumi nations as are' now going on. The Register Office, the Excise and Custom-house, the Banks and• Club Rooms, are all Tieing with other. The Gas• Co mpany have prepared an enormous Crown, to be mounted on' one of their chimnies; and private in dividuals are equally anxious in their exertions.— Lord WENIESS, the Loan PROVOST, Mr. Sheriff Dort., Sir WILLIAM FETTES, the LORD PROVOST. of Glas gpw, with.various others, are among the number. All the hotels in Edinburgh are full. From half a guinea to three guineas are paid for single beds per night. The livery stables are mostly full. So great is the demand for stalls, that five guineas per week a:e paid for a single horse. Such is the influx of passengers to Edinburgh, that not less that 450 were landed from the Stirling steam boat, at the chain pier, on Saturday eve&ng. The coaches from all parts of the country wete yesterday, and for a day or two before, crowded. /I great many private carriages also arrived in the course of the day. A huge caravan made its ap pearance, intended, and used for the conveyance of elephants and other extraordinaries ; to the surprise of the bystanders, it stopped at the door of an inn, when the crowd began to gape in expectation of see ing monsters. The door was opened ; but instead of lions and monkeys, out came a party of dandies and belles, from Glasgow, and were shewn gratis. The Cupar (Fife) Magistrates came to the Ferry, over the Forth, in much better style--and—there we wiil leave them. Camps are pitched at the new entrance into Dal keith Palace, for the accommodation of the guards. Saturday morning 50 workmen conmencvl re• pairing the Pier of Pi,herrow harbour, and flooriag it with wood, as it is expected his MAJESTY Hill make some aquatic excurion, and that harbour is more convenient and private than Leith. Every individual is exerting his talents to give proof of his heartfelt feelings of joy on the apps each of his' MAJESTY. The -splendid Panortma• of the grand Coronation is on its way from the centre of England (at a vast expense), to be displayed in the large Pavilion, Mound. The proprietors are spitting no expense to render the exhibition of extraordinary interest, an extra band of music being engaged in honour of his MAJESTY'S welcome visit, anJ the Pa vilion will be beautifully illuminated with tritinpa reneies, variegated lamps, &c. We learn from Dunbar, that a Royal salute is to be fired from the fort on his MAJESTY'S passing the harbour ; and as several pieces of cannon are also to be fired, and a bonfire lighted, at General LESLIE'S Camp, on Doonhill, in the neighbourhood of that town, we shall thereby have early and certain relation oldie time that the fleet may be expected in the Roads. GLASGOW, AUGUST 10. The number of persons leaving this City for Edinburgh, is scarcely credible. Everf vehicle engaged for days to come, nor could money now procure one. The usual stage-coaches are even en gaged for te-morrow (Sunday). The canal boats and the extra boats which the proprietors have put upon the canal, are insufficient to convey the passengers pressing to the metropolis, and we are told that coal punts have been put in requisition, and horses attached to them, as vehicles of conveyance. By the time the canal boats leave Port Dundas this afternoon, above 2500 persons will have left this city for Edinburgi', during yesterday and this day, by this mode of con veyance alone. For the accommodation of the Public. the boats are to ply to-morrow, and we understand that a great number of individuals proceed on foot this day, and more this evening, as soon as their busi ness is concluded. NEWCASTLE, AUGUST 13. It is impossible to describe the appearances of the regular conveyances that pass through this place from London to Edinburgh. The coaches going to the metropolis about Christmas, laden gLe'e, turkies, and all possible varieties of luxury, convef but a faint idea of the crowded and luggage-sur rounded vehicles. Every square inch of room, nay every inch whether square or long, seems occitpie.l by something or other bound to Edinburgh, ,1:1 ,1 thousands of parcels and boxes dangle from never intended for them. Amongst other thing , . a great number of swords (we suppose the dress swords for those who hope to be presented at his MAJESTY'S Levee). Some carriages have been obliged to wait here for want of post-horses. On SandAy immense numbers of persons went down to Shiehis and Tynemouth, in expectation of getting a sight of the Royal squadron on its passage north. One per 7 son, in coming up the road, counted upwards of VI gigs, coaches, &c. going down heavily laden. Wt: may easily guess, if one person met so many, that the real number was much greater. It was calcu lated there 'were SOO or 400 boats, steam-packets , coal-keels, kc. out at sea, ornamented in every ima ginable manner. No certain intelligence had arrived of his MAJESTY'S embarkation, but a general ori- $ MAJESTY'S VISIT TftSPQT4iNtI. •I k occurred this 4 - ICastle-hill, fri 4lawk, a Leithinusck, stbi iiirrived this feVek-• on the north s ita pasted his MAslfs loch off Flitraborftb an unfinished on Monday, at . one o'eloc ~ Tholloyalht assembled to ill towed by the strAm-packets, issoino.otb. • • ,-, - ce on the 11 a when it gave I NI • i l i p .1 4~ ;, ~. 0 • # 1 ! . i , ; ~ I .► ,~~ ~I
