THE KING'S 1, 7 151 T TO SCOTLANb. Yesterday Mr. Thostaoh, one of the King's Private Messengers, arrived in town with letters 'from the KING, &c. dated on board the Royal yacht, four o'clock on Sunday afternoon, nearly off Yarmouth. Extract of a private letter from Yarmouth, dated Sunday night, August 11---g , His MAJESTY, in the ROYAL GEORGE yacht, towed by two steam-packets, passe d this place about seven o'clock in the evening. The vessels hove in sight about half-past five, and shortly after nearly the whole population of the, place was assembled on the beach and jetty to wit ness this gratifying sight. The frigates and other craft that accompanied his MAJESTY from the Nore, were left some leagues astern, in consequence of a slack of wind ; and, while passing, there did not ap- pear to be a single vessel in company. Several plea sure-boats and other craft sailed yesterday and to-day to meet the Royal squadron, and were fortunate enough to obtain an excellent view of his MAJESTY, who condescendingly took off his cap on their cheer ing him in passing the Royal yacht. His MAJESTY passed outside of the sands, about six miles froth the shore, which was a great disappointment to his loyal subjects in this place, as they fully expected him through the Roads." Should the wind become unfavourable, it is ex pected that his MAJESTY will trust to the unfettered power of steam, and embark on board the James Watt, 'unquestionably the finest steam ship in Europe. It will be paying a just compliment to the genius and ta lents of the country he is about to visit; for nothing r. ill be more gratifying to every true Scotsman, than to :ce their SOVEREIGN arrive in a vessel, bearing the name of their great philosopher and mechanician, by whose inventions the powers of steam have been ren dered applicable to this, and to so many purposes of l national benefit. FROM THE CALEDONIAN MERCURY OF SATURDAY. The scene of bustle daily increases, both from the drat influx of strangers already visible in the streets, ;1.1 from the active preparations going on in all quarters, with a view to his MAJESTY'S visit. The public streets are in constant motion, and in parti cular the North and South bridges, lA'aterloo-place, alid the east end of Prince's. street, present a remark able contrast to their usual dulness at this season of the year. All the other streets are proportionably c: owded ; and those which are in the intended line of the Royal procession are from morning to night occupied with painters, glaziers, paviours, carpenters, &c. labouring with incessant and anxious industry to complete the necessary preparations. Every vacant space from the Palace to the Castle, from which a view of his MAJESTY can be caught, will be occupied with extensive galleries. All the windows of private dwellings and places of business will be thickly planted with spectators; and, in order to accommodate a greater number of persons, wooden balconies are to be fixed from the windows of the first floors of many houses, which will give a commanding view both up and down the High-street for a considerable space. All the way down Leith Walk galleries are in preparation, which will be filled with spectators, anxious to witness the approach of his MAJLSTY to the City. At Gayfield square, is an extensive and commodious gallery, roofed in, which is calculated for the accommodation of a numerous body of spectators. The streets oppo site also, Baxter's-place, and Greenside-place, are lined Midi galleries, and all the streets through which his MAJESTY is to pass present similar preparations. At Leith the preparations are on a most extensive scale. Ihe whole range or the Tier has been corn qtably fitted up with seats that will accommodate about two thousand spectators, who will have a com plete view of the ceremonial of his Maaststar's leaving his Royal yacht, on board his State barge, until his linding at the draw-bridge, opposite to St. Bernard. street. There are also numerous scaffolds erected along the line of Procession. A triumphal arch is preparing near the place of landing, and another in Constitution-street. The seats on the Pier will be guarded by military along the whole line, so as en• tirely to prevent confusion or accident. Tickets of admission to the Pier are sold at five shillings each. The preparations in the Parliament, or Outer House, where the civic banquet will be held, are nearly com pleted. It will be lighted by thirteeu chandeliers ; the three centre ones ate most superb. His MA JESTY'S Chair will be placed at the south end, on a raised flooring, at a semicircular table, between which and the other tables there is a pretty considerable' space. The latter consist of three rows, extending to Lord MELVILLE'S statue. The windows, the re cesses where the Lords Ordinary sit, and the common entrances .have been hung with scarlet draperies, as as also the north end of the room, to correspond with that at the south window. A number of paintings ere hung up, but it being thought that they hurt appearance of this fine Gothic Hall, they have Leen removed. THE LADIES OF THE SILVER CROSS! We understand that the Bard of " Mine own Ro mantic Town," the worthy Poet whom Scotland loves, has been selected by some of our most distinguished countrywomen to undertake a gallant mission in their service. He has been charged, sr e believe, as their Seal Knight, to greet the approach of our Royal Vi sitor to this shore, and to do homage in their name, by laying the ancient emblem of Scotland at his MA.. JZSTY . B feet. The design of this elegant offering is chaste, and worthy of the fair hands that formed it. It consists of a broad and rich cross of pearls raised on blue velvet, and inclosed within a belt of gold, on which is embroidered with pearls, the Gaelic motto of, Riogh albhana gu Grath (hail to the King of Scot-, land). The belt is attached by a brilliant diamond buckle, and from its extremity is suspended a mag nificent pearl, the produce of Scotland, and probably the finest ever found in this country. The whole is surmounted by the Imperial Crown, girt round with brilliants, and richly decorated with rubies, emeralds, and the topaze, alternating with pearls, in the mantrx cf the ancient Scottish Crown, so long forgotten, and so ominously brought to light at this auspicious period. A baud with a buckle of Scottish gems is adjusted, so as to admit of this elegant and costly jewel being worn either on the hat, or hound round the arm. We anticipate with delight the gratification which could not fail to fill every Scottish bosons, were we to behold the much-loved descendant of our ancient Monarchs step on shore, beat ing on his sacred person the emblem of Scotland, and that emblem from the hands of the fair daughters of the land. Long ,may he continue to honour a badge so dear to Scotland, and to share with its loyal inhabitants that proud feeling of patriotism which equally led our rude an cestors to victory, and made us, their children, earn our share in the recent glories of Britain. Glasgow will be almost deserted on the occasion of his 11AJWITY condescending visit to Edinburgh ; every vehicle of conveyance is fully employed, and engaged for corning days. Extra boats on the canal are insufficient for the number of passengers. Where the moving mass from all corners of the land are to stow therbselves when in Edinburgh we know not.— Many, we understand, are provided wi th, or are pro viding themselves with tents, and intend to bivouack in the fields. A very considerable number of Gentle men from Ireland are passing through Glasgow on their way to Edinburgh, to attend there during the joyous occasion. This morning v e received a Dutch Mail, bringing Pipers to the 11th instant, and Frankfort Jour&ls to the 7th. The following are extracts : ST. PETERSBURGH, JULY 24. It is affirmed that his Majesty the Emperor will go next month to Warsaw, to hold the Diet, and afterwards proceed to the Congress. The Secretaries of State, Count Nesselrode and Count Capo dlstria, are to attend the Emperor. Bank Assignats to the amount of nearly 45 mil lions of roubles, which were withdrawn from circula tion last year, were burnt on the 4th inst. Major-General Gurjew, son of the Minister of Fi nance, is appointed Governor of Odessa. AMSTERDAM, AUGUST 6. An account from Nixol, in Bornholm, of July 20, mentions that the following event has caused much sensation there, so that it was thought advisable to make it known as soon as possible ;—" A boy, with flax and linseed, bristles, linen, bed-feathers, down, and quills, cast anchor between the 16th and 17th, on the west side of Bornholm, and sold the cargo there, as we hear, far under the value; it then took in stones for ballast, and sailed towards the west : the crew consisted of three men, and a passenger is said' to have been on board. The skipper would not tell his name, nor could his destination be discovered." Subscriptions for the relief of the Irish still continue to be received by the Churchwardens of the Episco pal Church at Amsterdam. SEMLIN, JULY 21. The new Pacha arrived at Salonichi on the 9th He has brought with him 9000 men, who immedi ately proceeded towards Lari.sa, to reinforce Chours chid Pacha. SMYRNA. JUNE 28. It is affirmed, that the flotilla of Mehemet Ali, re turning from its successful expedition to Candia, has artived at Stancho, with several Greek vessels which it has taken. The three ships of the line, and other men of war that sailed from Constantinople, have joined the Turkish fleet. VIZSSA, JULY 30.—Metalliques, 79•1 —Bank Shares, 781 4-5. The French Papers of Saturday have been received. The Court at Colmar is still engaged in the tedious occupation of attempting to prove that treasonable conspiracies have been formed against the BOURBONS. But although nearly two hundred witm•sscs have al ready been examined for the prosecution, the proof seems as distant as ever. The Journal des Debas gives the following naval intelligence, on the authority of a letter from Toulon, dated July 31 :—" The squadron under the command of Rear-Admiral HAMBLIN sailed at five o'clock this morning. It consists of the Colosse, on board of which the Admiral has hoisted his flag ; the frigates La Guerriere and La Thetis; the corvette l'Echo; and the galliot Le Mounts, which is to serve as a ten der. This squadron will be reinforced by the Jean Bart ship of the line, and the Sybille brig, from Brest. The destination is not known, but the report most prevalent, and also most probable, is, that the fleet will cruise on the coast of Spain. The Admiral takes the title of Commander of the Naval Forces of his Majesty in the Mediterranean, which makes credit be given to the rumour, that all the King's ships in the Mediterranean will reit:force this fleet.' The following are further extracts from these Papers : VIENNA, JULY 27. By the last news from Constantinople, it appears that the hope of having a Congress at Kaminietz Vodolski, to establish direct communications between Russia and the Porte,. is abandoned. It is not known whether M. de Tatischeff has made new propositions, as nothing of the negociations in general transpire. SMYRNA, JUNE 21. The beautiful American frigate, the Constitution, arrived here on the 24th. She is the first frigate of that nation which has entered ear ports. She was accompanied by a galliot and a cat vette belonging to the United States. The Ottoman fleet, after the disaster they have sustained, are in such a state of distrust with respect to the Greeks, that since that day everything offends them. The American armed vessels wishing to ap proach them through civility, the fleet stood out, apparently in fear of surprise. The three Americans departed from this on the following morning. French Funds, Saturday.-5 per Cents. opened at 93f. sc. closed at 921. 95c. Letters from Barcelona, of the Ist August, re ceived this morning, state that the report sChich ap peared in the Spanish Papers, of the yellow fever having broke out in that quarter, it entirely false, and the city remained in good health. The com munication with the interior remains still very critical. It is singular that NAPocznv BONAPARTE, the, Duke of WELLINGTON, and the Marquis of LONDON DERRY, should all have been burn in the s tnrr )ear, namely, the year 1769. tIIE Tueidry, Maybe, roan, Commander 'of the Forces in Scodeold basing eggs:seed a wish to see the Cavalry Regiments preparatory to his Ahrens's arrival, a grand parade took place on Portobello Sands, consisting of the Greys, 3d Dragoon Guards, and the Artilkry from Leith Port. They made an excellent appearance, and went through various evolutions to the satisfaction of the General. An encampment of Celts has been pitched on the Castle bank, fronting Prince's -street, Edinburgh. Friday, a battery of guns was mounted on Trinity-pier, for the purpose_ Roads of joining In the salute to his MAaasiv , on hu an Leith . Mbnday iennight four troops of the Tina Westmoreland Yel manry Cavalry, commanded by the Hon. Colonel Lowrosa, were reviewed in the Park adjoining Clifton village, by the Earl of LONSDA LE.

On her arrival at the Tower she was received with every mark of honour. The Royal Standard was hoisted upon the occasion. Sunday evening his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, accompanied by Colonel Comm, arrived at Brighton. Saturday se'nnight a splendid gold chain, pur chased by a subscription among the inhabitants of Dumfries, to be worn by the Chief Magistrate of that Burgh for the time being was presented to JOHN Kean, Esq. the Provost, in the Council Chamber, where the contributors, amongst whom was the Mar quis of QUEENtRERRT, had assembled for that purpose. Saturday se'nnight a young Gentleman, son of THOAIAS Ross, Esq. of Montrose, was drowned whilst bathing in the North Esk, dear that town. The Richmond Theatre has again opened, under the manage ment of Mr. X Lamas The Company is good beyond prece dent, and among the oid favourites Miss S takes the lead.: Letters received from Paris, referring to advices from Havannah of the beginning of June, mention that the opposition displayed in the Mexican Pro vinces against the nomination of ITuttaine, as Em peror, was so great, that an army of 6000 men, com manded by Generals GUADALUPE VICTORIA, SAN TANA, and Gitaftetto, was on its march against the capital. In the Republican interest, GUADA i.uPeVic- Tonra is an old Guerilla Chief, who espoused the cause of Independence several years age. Accounts from Bermuda state, that on the night of the 2d of May, forty-six slaves, and an African apprentice, made their escape from 'Turks Islands in two small vessels registered at that port, and belong ing to Mr. JA►tES CATLIN and Mr. ROBERT SAYERS. Accounts were received from the Caicos, a few days aftewards, that 101 slaves, men, women, and chil dren, from two plantations belonging to the estate of the late WADE &ruses, had gone off in several small craft, which they had taken possession of for that purpose. The place of their destination is known to be the island of St. Domingo, where refugees of this class are received and protected.-- The inhabitants of Turks Islands being apkrehensive that this evil would increase at that place, have armed themselves, and keep a strict guard at night. In the meantime, as an opportunity offered for Bermuda, the Magistrates have petitioned the Senior Officer in command on this station, for protection, until com munications can be had with the Governor of the Ba hamas at New Providence, and the Admiral on the Jamaica station. Information had reached Turks Islands from Porto Plata, St. Domingo, that a small vessel had recently arrived there with a number of l runaway slaves from Tortola. A letter from Madrid, dated July SO, contains the following statements : " It is generally reported that an official communication has been made by the English Ambassador to our Ministry, pur porting, that if any Powers attack our liberty, England. will support us with all her forces by land and sea. " Some suspected persons have again been removed from the capital; but things will not take a decisive character until the new Ministry be completely formed. Lopes Banos is expected with the greatest impatience. This well-known energy promises a change of system in the Government, and the true patriots are well disposed to support ft. " The partisans in Catalonia are numerous, but they have just received a terrible check. More than 1,200 of them have been killed on different points. Mina is to command the army in that province. He will have 30,000 men under him. This is more than is necessary to cover the French frontier, and to crsish the remains of the insurgents. The assassin of Captain Landaburru is condemned.

Bar, about one o'clock, by a com munication which was made - to Mr. Smanwam.; Of the sudden death of the Marquis of LONDoNDERM The intelligence having passed from Mr. SHADWELL to Mr. Norma, an anxious curiosity was very enc. rally manifested by all present, to ascertain the par= ticulats of this event. This feeling was at length so evident, and increased so as to attract the observation of the LORD CHANCELLOR, who asked the Registrar whether anything had occurred ? Being by hum in formed, in a private way, of tl.e fact, his Lordship was visibly affected. The business of the Court was not however immediately interrupted, but after a further communication with the Registrar, in a low tone of voice, his Lordship said to the Bar, " I will return in a few moments," and thea went into his private room. On Lis return, after an absence of a few minutes, the arguments of Counsel were resumed; and at four o'clock, a letter sealed with black wax; and containing an official intimation of the Marquis of Losmonuaany's decease, was delivered into thd hands of the LORD CHANCELLOR. His Lordship having perused its contents, almost immediately after- wards rose, and quiued the Court, observing, that hd was obliged to deter the further hearing of cases till to-mortow. THIS DAY, AUGUST is. IN TUC MATT ILA or LANGLEY, ESQ. A avrPourl LUNATIC. The LORD Cli A NCELLOA, iunnediately on coming into Court, said, .6 I have this morning had a conference with two etnioene Medical Gentlemen, before whom I laid all the affidavits, anti the tenth is, that, upon their representation to me, I cannot grant this commission ; at the same time, I cannot part from the subject of this application, without saying, that I do not think the Gentleman who made it blameable; and I desire that this refusal should not be any reflection on him ; fir, after what has passed, I should have made the same application; if I had been in the same situation as that Gentleman was. Dismiss the petition, but without costs. I have very little difficulty in saying that any view of this cue is such, that I should ordet this petition to stand over, rather than dismiss it now, if I had not thought that might have given pain to the parties." PRIVATE HEARING. Mr. HART made an application for a private het?: ing of a case relating to infants, whom he did not name, on which the LORD COANCRLLOR spoke as follows: " In cases of lunacy, and of Wards of this Codtt, fiat chiefly of young women who are under the protection of die Court, these cases, and particularly the former, are gentian)? misunderstood, because, in cases of lunacy, I am not dieting at CHANCZLLOS, but under a Commission, which would autherike me to bear anything in my own house. With respect to Ntarde of the Court, I remember between 40 and 50 years of the con stant practice of all the Chancellors, in which they hare heldi that with regard to conduct of families, in which the POI'S have nothing to do, all these cases, if the parties desire It, ant heard in private. If the practice of the Court, in this respect,' is to be corrected, let ft be corrected by the proper aitkority, of .4 r RI VAUXHALL GARDEN& This unique place of amusement was last night die /nitre hi attraction to all the Beauty and Fashion now in London. The Proprietors on this occasion had promised to strain every nerve in order to give an entertainment to the Public that might be considered an appropriate celebration of the Birth-day of hie MAJCSTY, the gracious Patron of the Gardens. It is but doing justice to the unparalleled exertions of the Proprietor/ to Say, that they fully redeemed their pledge. It is utterly impossible to attempt a minute description of the variety and excellence of the entertainments ; but the effect of the whole was truly en. chanting. The Gardens were in a blaze of light from the addl. denial number of variegated lamps, arranged iu the form of brit. Ilan:: stars, crowns, lice. &c. " The Natal Day of our Royal rairoeshone with a most magnificent effect in amber-coloured lamps, surrounded with wreaths of laurel. The company began to arrive early, and kept thronging in till after nine o'clock, when at the lowest computation there were 10,000 persons assembled. The zest of enjoyment was kept alive by the skilful variation cf the amusements, and their exact adaptation to the genius of the place; and though at the ringing of the bell (which was the signal for the commencement of the different entertainments) rite whole of the brilliant assemblage were instantly i.i rapid nirn:on towards the spot, not the slightest accident or even indecorum happened throughout the evening. The vocal and other perriarqaers - • seemed to catch the animation of the scene, and exerted them. wives with the happiest effect. The fire-works were of the most superb description, recalling to the recollection the brilliant dis- play made in the Green Park in honour of the peace. On that occasion, the utmost powers of the pyrotechnic art were sup posed to have been exhibited; hut whether from the progressive' improvement in that art, or our being in a better position for enjoying these transient splendours, we-have no hesitation in giving the preference to the exhibition of last night. Lastly, it should be observed, shat the refreshments and wines were ex cellent, and the ettendauts numerous and attentive. TOASTS--Some men would wish the world to think well of them, yet they cannot be merry without vice/ nor meet without en,leavonring to corrupt each other as much as possible. Many young and old think it a high piece of wit to invent toasts which modesty blushes to repeat; but, Wisdom says, our own vices are too much for us, without endeavouring to cor rupt the minds and morals of every one around us ; and, therefore, whatever these fine gentlemen may think of themselves, they ever were, and ever will be, the pests of society, and contempt of wise mend Let them use the following toasts ; if they do not serve to mend their morals, they will, at least, mend their manners : 1. May the Kil4l lire long that seeks kis people's lore. 2. May liberty serer nuke us licentious, nor restraint ern' make us sad. S. May we never seek mere liberty than constitutes our hap.; pions, nor snore freedom than tends to public good. 4. May we Myer desire plenty, but to relieve she unhappy and succour the distressed. S. May we be happy enough to find Mends, but never so miserable as to put them to a severe trial. 6. May we be mere ready to correct oar own faults than to publish the faults of others. 7. May we never be such slaves to custom as to tahe one step in vice, for the fear of being unfashionable. a. May we never rashly believe the reports we bear, nor hastily censure the man we bear not. 9. May we never be so far miskd as to think a Ash Man wise? merely for his wealth. 10. May we never be to extravagant as to beggar ourselves from being ashamed of poverty, nor so covetous as to live beggars for fear of being poor. 11. May the better fortune of others Deter pot us out of con ceit with our own. 12. May we never spiel what we ore ashoewd to repeat, nor e• that which we may Malt's° hear repeosed. 13.
