" The QUEEN has passed the night without any sleep, but is no worse than yesterday.—Brandenburgh House, Nine Clock, A.M." _ _ _ No other Bulletin has been issued to-day, nor is any expected before seven in the evening. The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this forenoon. If the accounts which they contain of the military position of the Russian army and its amount be cor rectly stated, it is difficult to conceive :hat the Em peror AL.Ex.t N DER has not hostile aggressions against Tutkey in contemplation. According to statements from Angsburgh and Vienna, Russia has three ar 'plies, amounting to '200,000 men, to attack Turkey. Tae second division of this grand army, on the river Pruth, bearing upon the Turkish provinces, has re ceived strong leinrincements from St. Petersburgh, and military preparaticns are proceeding on an exten sive scale, and with great activity in Russian Poland. A sudden change is said to have taken place in the Austrian Cabinet, which, instead of supporting Eng land in the task of mediating, has entered into the projects of the Russian Cabinet—whilst the Porte is left with no hope but in the interferer.ce of England and France. It was currently reported at Berlin on the 25th of 3u17, that the Russian troops had entered the Otto man territory. The intelligence received in London respecting the movements of Russia, is of quite a different com plexion from that quoted above from the French Papers. Letters from Odessa, dated the 10th of July, say, that dispatches had arrived there from St. Pe tersburgh, in answer to those sent thither by STRO. OONOTY, and were forwarded on the Bth to Constan tinople. Their contents were unknown, but it was supposed they were of a pacific nature; as the pub lication of STROGONOFiS Proclamation had been highly disapproved of by the EMPEROR. This opinion of the pacific tenor of these dispatches was yesterday supported by the persons connected with the Austrian Embassy here. It is not improbable that the Russian Court may have yielded to the strong remonstrances of England and France. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, accompanied by the reigning Duke of SAX MEININGEN, left town ) yesterday morning for Bushy Park; and, on their I return to town, stopped and dined with the Duchess l i of KENT, at her apartments in the KING'S Palace at Kensington. Yesterday morning the Duke of GLOUCESTER ar rived in town from his visit to the Earl of Essex's residence, at Cashiobury. Yesterday the Duke de GRAMMONT gave a dinner at his residence in Portland-place to Lord and Lady O s sucsrox, Count and Countess LUDOLF, Baron de NICHNOLAI, Baron de MA LTZAHM, M. de SOUZA, &c. —Monday the Duke de GRAPASIONT and suite will leave town for Paris. Yesterday the Earl of SHAPTISBURY gave a dinner at his house in Grosvenor-square to the Earl of HAR- Rowsy ' the Earl of WKSTMORILLAND, Lord Mel.- VILIA, Lord SIDMOUTII, &c. Lady FITZWILLIAM still continues in an alarming state of indisposition. A . new suite of Rooms is building in St. James's Palace, the expense of which is estimated at £lO,OOO. The idea of pulling down the Palace and building an other is abandoned for the present. The county of Kent, especially the Isle of Thanet, with the exception of the corn being here and there a tittle laid by the recent heavy rains, promises very tine crops. L•' xt,act of a letter from St. Domingo, dated July 4 : 4 , I have no news of importance to communicate to you. Tranquillity is everywhere established. The intasures of the-Government towards the late insar gents met with great approbation : as is usual in a subdued revolt, the arm ofGovernment is st rengthened. At Cape Hayti, a soldier with his musket advanced to the place where Boyer was standing, and asked for the President ; Boyer suspecting his P urpose, scut dimly advanced on him, saying Here. The fellow was panic-struck : he was immediately put in irons, and confessed himself hired to shoot the President; or, as the Government Gazette expresses it, he con fessed that the Lieutenant of his company had him self given him a cartridge to accomplish the foul d e ad. Nothing has yet transpired about the Smith American privateer which has been seized by this Government," _ _ ,-; •ar al".. HIS ItI.4JESTYS VISIT TO IRELAND. DUBLIN, AUGUST 3. The LORD LIEUTENANT, accompanied by Sir BEN JAMIN BLOOMFIELD, and other official characters, went down yesterday to Dunleary, to make the ne cessary arrangements for his MAJESTY'S landing, Tile Corporation are getting new robes of a very costly description. Those of the Aldermen are to be ,of the finest scarlet cloth, trimmed with ermine, and the Commoners are to wear blue cloth turned up with black velvet, instead of black silk as formetly. There is to be a Meeting this day of the principal Noblemen and Gentlemen of the County, for the Purpose of voting a Congratulatory Address to his MAJESTY. In fact, the whole kingdom displays at this moment a spirit of anxious rivalry to testify the most ardeßt attachment to a Sovereign who is dearer to Ireland than any that ever swayed the British sceptre. His MAJESTY is expected to arrive in this City on Tuesday, or Wednesday at farthest. Four o'Oock. The Meeting at the Royal Exchange was eery nu merously attended, and it was resolved that a Com mittee should be appointed to arrange everything con nected with the Procession. Mr. LAWLESS, of Belfast, wished to submit a proposition, which was, that the different Corporations should be opened to Ro man Catholics, as a proof that the Protestants were sincere iu their professions of cordial union. This, however, was considered quite irrelevant to the pur pose of the Meeting. and he was immediately called to order. One of the Resolutions recommends that those who form the Procession shall appear dressed in the manufactures of the country, wearing sky-blue scarfs of silk, tabinet, or cotton, as it may suit their convenience. An interesting scene took place at the close of the proceedings. Mr. OVortstaN, who, the day before, had been invested with an elegant sky blue scarf by Sir EDWARD STANLEY, as a symbol of the unanimity that prevailed between parties so long disunited, now invested Sir EDWARD with a scarf of the same description, observing, at the same time, that he had added a knot of white ribbon to it, as emblematic of the bond of affection upon the prin ciple of purity. The Meeting testified their approba tion by a simultaneous shout of applause, while Mr. O'GORMAN took from his pocket a medal, struck off in honour of the Royal visit, and placed it, suspended from a sky-blue ribbon, round the neck of Sir En v/Aar. STANLEY. He then decorated himself with the scarf he had received from Sir EDWARD, and both were hailed with loud acclamations. The medal is finely executed, and the motto is—Adrenit Res con cordat civitas. At the moment his MAJESTY lands at Dunleary, it is arranged that a volley of explosions, to the number of one thousand, shall be given from the public works going on there. The project of , drawing his MAJESTY'S carriage with silken ropes from Dunleary to the Castle, must, it is said, be abandoned as impracticable, in consequence of the distance. DUKE OF LEINSTER'S CIRCULAR. u Carton, July 30, 1821.

PRIVATE LETTER. " Dublin, August 4, 1821. " Arrangements are most busily making here for the reception of his MAJESTY. It is expected that all the respectable population of Dublin will•go forth to meet him on landing, and absolutely line the road the whole way from Dunleary, a distance of five miles, to the Castle. The several Corporations and Parishes will be dressed in blue silk scarfs, and rib bons in their hats—the Bay will be covered with pleasure-boats, those of all the near out-ports are arriving for the purpose—the houses are all newly painting, and the most splendid preparations going on for illuminations, kc. In short, nothing can equal the excitement of ardent feeling and unanimous loyalty." COUNTY or DUBLIN ADDRESS xo HIS MAJESTY. The County of Dublin Meeting took place in the Court House, at Kilmainham, on Friday. CHARLES Comm, Esq. High Sheriff, in the Chair. A Committee, consisting of the following Noble men and Gentlemen, was appointed to prepare an , Address to .his MAaisry, on the auspicious event of his visit to this country : The Right Hon. the Earl of Howth, Hans Hamilton, Esq. M.P. Fsneas Macdonnell, Esq. Luke White, Esq. M.P. J o h n Byrne, Esq. K.C. Richard Venschoyle, Esq. Right Hon. Lord Castlecoote. Sir Compton Domyille, Bast. Right Hon. Lord • Viscount Frankfort dik Montmorency, R. Coote, Esq. Thomas Wwi/IT .. ~ F .~ ---~--~ Firlay, Esq. Sir Richard Steele, Bart. Thomas White, Fsq. Thomas Spencer, Esq. Henry Arable', Esq. J. J. Bagot, Esq. Robert La Touche, Esq. C. Clinch, - Esq. John WWII, Esq. The Committee accordingly prepared an Aaldress, which was unanimously agteed to. LUXE WHITE, Esq. then proposed that a Com mittee of Five should be appointed to make the ne cessary arrangements for respectfully receiving his MAJESTY at Dunleary, and to report the result of the deliberations to a Meeting, to be assembled at Kil mainham this.day. The motion was seconded by Mr. HAMILTON, and both Resolutions being unanimously approved of, the Meeting separated. DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING. His MAJzsry is fast approaching the shores of this part of his kingdom. He is now on the water, beat ing up in all probability for, or doubling the Land's End. He has.r4ther a long voyage from this point up the Irish Channel to Holyhead, where he purposes to rendezvous. We should suppose that be will not be able to reach this point of his destination before Wednesday next, and it is not perhaps until Thurs day or Friday at the earliest that the citizens of Dub lin, and the multitude which is pouring into the city from every quarter of the kingdom, shall have the happiness of shouting their enthusiastic welcome to the King of Ireland. In the meantime, the City is filling with great ra pidity. All the hotels in Dublin are engaged, and numbers of private houses are occupied. Not fewer than two hundred passengers, most of them distin guished personages, and persons in their suite, ar rived by the Belfast steam-packet, yesterday, from Liverpool. Thousands were thronging to the beach in Liverpool, and every vessel from the British shores comes freighted with passengers. The Holyhead packets are equally crowded. Numbers are now at the Head waiting for conveyance. _ Among the persons of distinction who have ar rived, are — The klarquis sad Marchioness of Conyngham, Sir Marcus Somerville, Lord Stopford, E. S. Capper, Esq. M.P. General Croker, the Earl of Kingston, Lord Blaney, Lord and Lady Dufferia, W. G. Paxton, Esq. M.P. Colonel O'Malley, James Daly, Esq. M.P. Lords Lorton, Caledon, and Forbes, Marshal Lord Beresford, John W. Croker, Esq. kI.P. Lord Bishop of Raphoe, Bishop of elope, Sir George Wood, Aide-de-Camp to the Kiag, General Hatt, BLP. ace. &c. &c. Almost all the Counties and every Corporate Body in the kingdom, are convened for the purpose of voting Congratulatory Addresses to his MAJESTY on his arrival. The business doing in Dublin within the last week or two has been extraordinary. The design of his MAJESTY that all his subjects should approach him in the manufactures of the country, has given an. extraordinary impulse to trade, particularly the woollen manufacture. We understand that orders have been received by the Merino Factory, at Kil kenny, to prepare cloths for his MAJESTY, his Mi nisters, and servants. No Gentleman will now ap pear in any cloth but from the Irish loom. 'This will do more than has been done for a century to promote and revivify this the ancient manufacture of Ireland. The following are the arrangements to be observed upon his MAJESTY'S arrival, to commence from Wed nesday next, the Bth instant (supposing that to be the day):—Thursday, Levee; Friday, Dinner; Satur day, Drawing Room; Sunday, in State to Christ Church; Monday, Levee; Tuesday, Drawing Room; Wednesday, Dinner ; Thursday, Concert ; Friday, Ball and Supper ; Saturday, Dinner. We understand the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, &c. are to be marshalled according to rank to receive his MAQESTY when he disembarks at Dunleary. It has been suggested that his MAJESTY might enjoy the pleasure of witnessing a naval fight in Dublin Bay during his stay, surrounded as it is by Martello towers and batteries, besides the Pigeon house fort, a sham attack on which by the Royal squadron would present, from the peculiar situation and beauty of the Bay (not equalled even by Naples), one of the most splendid coup d'ceils, perhaps, ever witnessed in naval tactics. The Earl of BANTRY has addressed Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMVI ELD, making through him to our SOVEREIGN a dutiful request that his MAJasry may graciously condescend to honour Seafield Park with his presence, should his MAJESTY be pleased to Visit the southern part of Ireland. Yesterday, several large packages were landed from Liverpool, with a number of large turtle for his MAJESTY. The Earl of CtoultELL, who has been an absentee for many years, has given directions to his agent here to take a suitable residence for him during his Ma- JEsTv's visit. Lord HARTLAND has taken a splendid mansion, and intends to make an appearance suitable to his rank and fortune. We have heard that several Noblemen from the south, with splendid equipages, &c. are hourly ex pected in town. At a Meeting of the Sub-Committee, appointed by the General Meeting of the County of Dublin, to devise the most respectful mode of receiving hts MA• ' .TESTY, held this day, Luxe Wilms, Esq. in the Chair, it was resolved -44 That it would be inconsistent with the forms prescribed by the Royal Ceremonial that any private individuals should take a place in the procession from Durileary to Dublin. We recom. mend the Gentlemen of tlw County of tu 'assemble on ..:5.... . - . horseback, at a convenient *et on his Majesty's rou Gentleman to wear a scarf of pale pink silk or tabinet, f r i, y manufacture, and the front hand of each bridle to be with a ribband of the same colour, with rosettes of t s ans according to a pattern to be seen at Mr. Er.wor's, S a d' liarnent-street. (Signed) " Luxe W.or t ." TOOLP, AUGUST 3. Yesterday afternoon the Royal squadron ap,,eared off this port on its way down Channel, an d about five o'clock the Royal yacht and the squ a d rons cane s to up a p n o a se n d c , ho e r ve in ry B o w ne an w ag as e aßnaxiusYo.AtO may he rea di ly pay a tribute,:[ loyalty to his Sovereign, and every boat in the neigh. bourhood of the Bay was immediately filled w i t h spectators, all eager to have a view of their bel ove d Sovereign. It is impossible to describe the conde scension shewn by his MAJESTY in acknowledging the repeated salutations of his subjects, as the nu. merous boats passed the yacht. His Maum re. mained on deck nearly two hours after she came to anchor. It is extremely gratifying to state that his MAJESTY looked remarkably well, and appeared to be enjoying as good health as possible. At ten o'clock the yacht was illuminated, which had a most pleasing effect. At five this morning the squadron got under weigh, and stood to the westward, with a light air from the eastward, but were still in sight at noon, The wind, however, has since increased, and they have proceeded down Channel. IP° LIVERPOOL, AUGUST 4. The Duke of HAMILTON, Lord DoxonGituoßE, Lord HUTCOINSON, and General HAMILTON, er. barked here this day for Dublin, in the Waterloo steam-packet. The'passage boats are crowded with Nobilityand Gentry, who are anxious to witness the lauding of his MAJESTY on the shore of Erin. We are informed that a letter has been received from his Grace the Duke of AruoLL, in which his Grace states, that having a private audience of his MAJESTY, he asked whether it was his 3laJEsn's in. tention to visit Scotland this season, as was reported? His Mass.sry's answer was, that he had no such in- tention this season, but that he might probably be disposed to gratify the people of Scotland nett ses son,(Perilt Courier). VAUXFIALL.—The Masquerade given at these de lightful Gardens last night was numerously attended. The absence of her ittAIESTY (who had promised to be present) and her alarming indisposition, certainly contributed in some degree to detract from the mer riment which the evening would have produced. —Whatever pleasantries, however, were excluded, enough found their Way to the Gardens to keep the 'attention fully occupied,-and the eye and ear agreeably amused. The superb decorations of the former night were put forward with augmented splendour. The weather was exceedingly fine, and the tong, dance, and revelry was continued with unabated vivacity till six o'clock this morning. There was an abundance of personages sufficiently grotesque for anything. The wileafed manner in which many of the parties selected their associates was excessively diverting ; instead of going in gmupes of ch• racters drawn from the same source, and forming regular sets we were often reminded of " The Journey to the nest Iforld" In that work our Readers will recollect, Sweeps and Lords, act having the prejudices of life attached to them, are found plea santly walking arm in arm together. So it was here. Ile most magnificent and the most mean entered the Gardena to- gether. Contrast was the object aimed at, and it was completely acccomplished. Prudes, Parsons, Daher, Dustmen. V sty" Lawyers, Augkrs, Cobblers, Miller!, Robbers, Quakers, 54,-pla Parish Beadles ' Han'equins, Clowns, l'rineesses, Put Ge It, Cougar nun, and Quack Doctors, with numerous characters from different Plays, ail mingled in sportive frolics and merry confusiou. . . ENGLISH OPERA Housz.—tast night, after the new Drama of The Witch of Derndeugh, which wet off with great applause, Mrs. BALLS, from the Yolk Theatre, made her debut before a London audience as Marooretta, in the Farce of No Song, no Sapper. This Lady possesses a good figure and lively man ners, and is likely to prove :in acquisition to the Thea tre. Mr. HA RLEY, in the part of Endless, the LW. yer, excited much laughter by the flippancy and bustle with which he hurried through the scenes. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Yesterday evening, the new Comedy of Rise and Fall was performed for the second time, and received with the most unqualifiel marks of approbation. The whole of the scenery is new, and tastefully and well executed. Mr. EMERY and Mr. MUNDEN are engaged r the English Opera House for the remainder of the scrol. No effort, indeed, seems omitted to increase the at traction of this interesting Theatre. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.
