' I'' y , t t • (Unicorn and Ormond) in their tabards, mounted.— Four State tiumpeteis were next, after whom came Isla Herald, with Cat rick and Kintyre, Pursuivants on each side of him, ail properly habited in their ta bards, and mounted. The Usher of the White Rod, with his attendants on each side, followed Isla. He bore his rod of office, and wore his official collar and medals. The rod is of silver, about two feet long, and ornamented with gold enamelling, surmounted by a beautifully executed figure of the Unicorn of Scotland. He was followed by Lord Lyon, King of Arms, attended by a groom on each side. The grooms wore white surtouts, with red collars and cuffs, and red caps. Lord Lyon was most superbly dressed, in an excee,:ingly long mantle of crimson velvet, lined throughcut with white silk. Under the mantle he wore a green velvet surcoat, edged with a broad band of gold ; white pantaloons 14 ith a gold stripe; and on his head he bole his crown of gold, with a cap of crimson velvet, and a border of ermine; in his hand he held his baton of office, of green enamel, flowered with golden thistles; he wore his collar and badge. His horse was an Arabian, which seemed destined for exhibiting in so splendid a procession. The Earl of KINNOUI, is Lord Lyon. After the Lord Lyon, the procession varied a little from the order mentioned in the Gazelle. The Con stable's Esquires followed the Lyon ; they were dressed as we de , ,ciibed them on the former occa sion. The ancient mace of the Lord High Chan cellor of Scotland, now used in the Exchequer, was borne next after the two maces of the Court of Ses sion. Six grooms, attendants on the Sword of State, dressed dark liverie,, laced, with cocked hats, and plumes. 'file Sword of State, borne by the Earl of Moluros, dressed in I.:s Lord Lieutenant's uniform, and weaiina the Order of the Thistle. His horse was a remarkable fine one. Macers, pages, and Esquires, followed. The Si.eptre was canied by the Hon. JOHN MORTON STUART--not .by Lord F. L. Gowea. as mentiowd its the G4zette. Mr. STUART was dressed in green, widi tartan trews, and beauti ful dill; and other appendages. His horse was fur nished with a sideadid lamelnke saddle and bridle,' richly einhroidered Stith gold on blue velvet. llis whole equipment was remarkultly good. Other tracers, grooms, and mounted Esquires, followed Mr. STUART. The Crown was carried by the Duke of HAMILTON, in right of his ancient Earldom of Angus. His Grace was dressed in a black satin dress of the age of Cu LEI the FIRST, slashed with white, and a rich lace Vandyke collar over his shoulders.— A groom attended on each side to hold his horse. He bole the Crown on the crimson velvet cushion, which was found when the Regalia were discovered. The air and appe:u mice of his Grace wet e full of dignity : he was repeatedly cheered as he advanced with the Crown, which he occasionally held up in such a po sition as to be fully seen by the assembled multitude, who hailed this diadem of their ancient Sovereigns with loud acclamations. One of the KING'S carriages then followed, drawii by six horses, after which came a party of the Scotch Gieys. The Yeomen of the Guard immediately pi eceded his MAJESTY'S carriage. The Royal Company of Archei s flanked the . Royal carriage. On the right hand of the KING'S carriage the Lord High Constable, attended by Sir THOMAS BRADFORD, as Commander of the Fences. The Lord High Constable wine his Peel's rubes, over a purple . velvet dress with white slashing. lie wore his Eari's coronet. .The -Earl of IlopErouN, as Captain-Ge likral of the Archers, was on one side of the Royal equipige, dressed in- the uniform of the company, wearing the decorations of the Grand Cross of the Bath; and the Earl of Et.cas, in the same dress, was -on the other side, and wine his Orders. His MA JESTY'S- carriage was drawn by sis horses only.— Others of the Yeomen of the Guard followed; and then came a party of the Scotch Greys.

The KING repeatedly took off his hat while on the platform, and waved it to the people, who re turned, with acclamations, this mark of the Royal condescension. Although there was a momentary clearness in the atmosphere while the KING was on the platform, yet the rain soon fell in torrents, and his MAJESTY refused for a time the solicitation of his attendants to take shelter. He said the prospect, even with the bad weather, was astonishing; and that he should wear his hat to prevent cold. After descending from the platform his MAJESTY returned to his carriage, and drove to the Lieutenant- Governor's house, where a collation had been pre pared. His MAJESTY presently afterwards gut into T carriage, and returned with the procession in the 'same array, through Bank-street, over the Earthen Monad, along Prince's -street, Waterloo-place, and die Calton, to Holyrood House. This day his MAJESTY reviewed the troops on Portobello Sands. The military spectacle was splen did, and the day remarkably fine. The whole of the cavalry and yeomanry of the town and neighbour hood were on the sands, viz. the Edinburgh Yeo manry Cavalry, the 3d Regiment of Dragoon Guards, the Glasgow, the Paisley and Greenock, the Berwick shire, the West Lothian, Dumfries, East Lothian, Roxburgh, Perth, Fife, Forfar, Peebles and Selkirk, and Mid-Lothian corps of Yeomanry Cavalry, with those of some other counties. The Scots Greys closed the line of troops. The KING, who was sur rounded by a numerous and splendid Staff, expressed himself highly delighted at the appearance of the corps on the ground. The crowds in attendance were immense, and the line of carriages, filled with rank and fashion, great beyond example on such an occa sion. The whole went off with only one or two trifling accidents, from the unavoidable pressure of the crowd among the horses. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. • I EDINBURGH, THURSDAY EVENING. I leave to your Correspondents more at leisure to detail the ceremonies of this day ; mine must be the 1 task to give you some idea of the general effect of the sublime scene. The morning was dark and rather drizly, and the doubts and anxieties of the multi tude, as to the probability of the Procession taking place,were visible in every face; but occasional blinks of something like sunshine, induced the crowds to hope• for the best, and accordingly the Trades began 'to muster, and, by and bye, numbers' of carriages and well dressed parties ventured to bend their way to the High -street, where all who could command a friend or a penny had provided themselves with a place where they could have a view of his MAJESTY. Since the Procession of NARY—the unfortunate MANY, nothing of the kind has ever taken place within thi s capital of Caledonia ; and, as it was known that great preparations had been made, great expectations, of, course, were excited. The KING reached Holyrood about one o'clock, and spent some time in viewing a collection of paintings ; and about the time of the several parts of the Procession being marshalled, the State carri a ge drew up, and the Royal progress com menced. U nfortunately the rain commen ce d j ust about the time of starting, which cast a sombre tint over the whole, but nothing could damp the enthu siasm of the Scotch. It was a cheering hurrah that greeted the Monarch when he left the Palace. It diminished not during the progress, and, when be reached the Castle Hill, near which we were placed, it certainly made the welkin ring. The various parts of the Procession had been so arranged as to give it the effect of all that was grand and imposing ; but it was not the glitter and shew that made the impres sion, even upon the lowest Scot—it was the appear ance.of Scotlatid's Crown •and Scotland's King that roused the lion, and set all that was good and great in their nature at work, to find meads of displaying their love and their loyalty.

It was one of the finest sights in nature—the myriads of spectatofs in all and every quarter, peep ing from every corner and embrazure. in the Castle, and from every window and house top. The Kll4O, from the effect of the haze, appeared much' laiger than usual; conspicuous from altitude, and surrounded with the turrets and battlements upon the rock, and in a Castle the scene of so many great events eons nected with his ancestors, waving hishat, and joining in the cheers which all meant to do him honour, was certainly an object of a nature calculated to make an impression upon-the mind as well as the imagina tion ; and the awe, which seemed to pervade all, ranks, was so poweiful, that, for a moment, the multitude seemed unable to breathe, until, roused by the thunder of the cannon, they were brought back to them selves, and returned with double force the greeting of their KING.

They are chiefly filled with the proceed ings of the Court of Assize at Paris, in the affair of Rochelle. In consequence of the declared intention of• his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex to visit some of his friends in the north of England, and of his ,ar rival at Cantley, near Doncaster, the seat of M. A. TAYLOR, Esq. a Meeting of the Corporation of the City of York was called by the LORD MAYOR, at which it was determined to present his Royal High ness with the freedom of the city in a gold box, and to request the honour of his company at a civic feast in the Mansion-house, to celebrate that circumstance. In pursuance of this resolution, the Sheriffs of the city, M. STAPYLTON and M. Woon, Esqrs. waited on his Royal Highness at Cantley, early in the last week, with the following Address : " May it please your Royal Highness—The Sheriffs of the city of York are deputed by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and Corporation, in Common Hall assembled, to express the high gratification received from the expected arrival of your Royal Highness in their ancient and independent city. It is their anxious desire to offer you its freedom, and they humbly request that you will condescend to dine with them at the Man sion -house, on any day which may be most suitable to the cons. AnliCtief: of your Royal Highness. ; " The Sheriff cannot refrain front considering it a fortunate circumstance, that during their Shrievalty, in conveying this respectful homage and invitation, they have had the honour to approach the presence of Prince who is so nearly r-siatcd to the august Sovereign of these realms, and whose splendid cireer of useful beneficence, scientific acquirement, and spirited,patriqtism, gives a brilliant lustre to the exaltation of his Royal birth." To this Address his Royal Highness returned the following gracious answer : " I beg leave to express the high sense I entertain of the'dis tinction which the ancient and independent city of York pro poses to confer upon me, and I shall have the greatest satisfac tion in accepting it. I will, with pleasure, meet the Corporation on Monday next, a: dinner. I also beg to express my sense of the very flattering and kind manner in which the wishes of the Corporation have been conveyed to me by the Sheriffs." Isis Royal Highness and suite left Cantley on Sa turday morning,. and passed through Doncaster about eleven o'clock, on his way to York. Thursday, at a General Meeting of the Institution for the encouragement of the Fine Arts in Scotland, the Earl of NVEMYSS in the Chair, it was unanimously resolved that an Equestrian Statue, in bronze, &his ausry, be procured, and that his MAJESTY be in vited to sit for this object to any Artist he may be graciously pleased to name; and to appoint the place where the statue ought to be erected in Edinburgh, in order to commemorate, in the most lasting manner, his MAJESTY'S auspicious visit to Scotland. The company of English Comedians gave on Thurs day, at the, Theatre in the Rue Chantereine, a repre sentation of a little Comedy and a Melo-drama, which passed off without any interruption. The audience was, unfortunately, not very numerous. It must be admitted, however, that the Actors, feeling them selves under no apprehension as to the intentions of', the spectators, appeared to much greater advantage ! than on the former occasions, and there is reason' to hope many persons, whom the fear of disorder kept away, will no longer be restrained from going to witness a new species of spectacle, which, if it were only for its strangeness, is not without interest and. entertainment.—French Paper. . . . A Noble Duke having had occasion to call .on a friend, left his horse in the care of a countryman, re-_ questing him to hold it, to which the countryman aa swered,—" Yes, Sir." A Gentleman passing at the time, and hearing the contryman's answer, said—" My good fellow, do you know that Gentleman is a Duke? Yon should say ' your Grace,' not 4 Sir:" On the Duke's return, he asked the countryman a que,tion, who answered by saying—" For what I am going to receive, may the Lord make me thankful !" We are requested to state, that the Fourth Volume of " The Hermit in the Country" was published this day, containing, among other sketches, Hunting.—The Sportsman's Lady.—The Sportswoman.— Country Quarters.—Sea Bathing.—Eastern Ambition.—The Gamester's Wife.—lntercepted Addresses.—Fatiaily Pride.— The Embarkation.—Altered Views.—Plain Wives.—Trifiers. —lmitation and Affectation.—Highland Sporting.—The Scot tish Emigrant.—Disappointed Donald.—The Highland School master—Highland Friendship.—A Highland Regiment's Return.

According to the usual course of French judicial procedure, the Judge begins with interrogating the prisoners an their admission •or denial of the facts charged and puzzling them with an explanation of inconsistencies, real or apparent, between their first depositions on their private examination, and their final answers in ptiblic court. In this case their task was easy, as they confessed the falsehoods of their first statement, and laid the blame of some of them on General DESPINOIS, at whose dicta:ion they said they had adopted them. The tribunals of France, from that of Correctional Police up to the Supreme Court of Cassation, seem to be employed in deciding on political offences, and prctecti4 the Government of the KING from iebel licaror diseurion. .We have now going yn, or un -finished;totir trials for conspiracy.; and when Brest, Toulon, and the other places at which we heard of disturbances at the beginning of the year, receive • their . titte•,' the number will be nearly doubled. Besides these sources of political security and pub lic amusement for . France,. the :correctional Judges are_equally active and .vigorous in. their way. On Thursday last they condemned M3l. Jouy, ARNAI:LT, JAL EMMAkUEL DUPATY, GOSSE, and CAUCMOIS MAIRE,; Authors of the Miroirs des Spedades, and LEPAGE, Edit Or-pf the Courier des Spedacles, to two months' imprisonment and a fine of 500 francs each, for covertly publishing political articles in theirJotlr nals without the Royal authority and the requi.:i:e securities. In other words, their offence cr.nisted deviating into a joke, good or bad, with a political tendency, in works which, In m their announcement and the mode of their registry, should be exclusively devoted to the Drama or to Literature. Truly it will be difficult, in such a state of the Press, to keep out of prison. It is said, in a letter dated Frankfort in one of them, and in another article copied from a German Paper in another, that the symptoms of a discon tented spirit, manifested in some divisions of the Rus sian army, had assumed a graver character than they at first appeared to possess. The officers and sidiets whose conduct chiefly attracted attention, had ex pressed no opinions hostile to the Goirernment which they serve, but are suspected of being animated ss iti sentiments too liberal for the subjects of an absolute monarchy. They are principally to be found in the regiments which were engaged in the campaigns cu 1814 and 1815, and more particularly in a division which, under WORONZOFF, made part of the army cf occupation. The great charge against them is, that the soldiers as well as the officers begin to talk pu , litics, and to discuss public measures—an imperti , nence without example in Russia, and contrary the passive character of Russian discipline. Nei flier the EMPEROR nor his Ministers should be sur prised at the conduct of the troops, or suppose t1...t . ' they can arrest an inevitable consequence of their own measures, by a severe punishment of their in • struments. If they send men to countries where [lcy learn the novelties of freedom, when they tett:: n . home they must expect that they will talk of them; but there is no danger for some time of their Fro • clueing a great effect on the Don or the %Volga. According to an article from Warsaw, the attaiis of Spain interest the Russian Government much mole than those of Turkey. It is said that the Congresi. which is to open at Vi:nna, and thence to be trans ferred to Verona, will be finally removed to Milan, where it is to await the result of the expedition against Spain. This account, which first appeared in the form of a private letter in the Journal des Debuts of Wednesday, is severely commented upon by the Can stituilonnel of Thursday, who wishes to have it con sidered as a manifesto against the Spanish Con,titu tionalists. However, the latter, if we aie to believe the Constitutionnel, will not be taken unprepared.— The new Ministers are stated to have come to the solution of employing, in the first place, an imposing force, fur the purpose of crushing the insurrection; and, in the next, of fo ming. an army on the iron ' tiers, which will compel foreign Powers to respect • rturox, preceded the Kiwi ; the ~ (ma NW Clown ,tty• a Poop *;* ho id long to siaintain their in ti- ghts ot tilt& Kings, ,and wh r did Of difficulty ancLolauo, the warmest feelings of their hearts, them.
