The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday have arrived since our last. The Duke of VVELLtwoTos arrived in the French capital on Thursday. A private letter dated Zante, 20th July, says— " Athens has just constituted itself a Provisional Re rublic, under the standard of the Cross. Livadea, , Salona (Amphissa), Coda (Plates), all the villages of Phocis, Bedia, and Megaris, have adhered to the compact of union of the Athenians. Hydra, Egina, Salamis, and Zea, have sent their adherence to the acts of the Senate of the City of Minerva; and every thing allows us to hope that the destinies of Greece are going to change." The last accounts received at Vienna from Con stantinople come down to the 25th of July. The following is published as the substance of them : The ultimatum of Russia was delivered on the 18th; and as the time fixed by the Emperor ALEXANDER for the answer ex p ired on the 28th, people were very curious to know what part the Porte would take. All the subjects of Russia had quitted Constantinople the few Russian vessels which remained in the har bour with corn had just hoisted the French Rag. The Monilcur warns its readers against giving implicit credit to the accounts of the Greek Insur rection in the German Papers, and pronounces the statement that the Turks suffered a naval defeat from the Greeks at the entrance of the Dardanelles, to be a fah , ication. French Five per Cents. Thursday, 88 fr. 25 c. We have received Papers direct from Madrid to the 13th instant. The Extraordinary Cortes are to be convened in the course of next month. It is said that the first sitting will be on the 24th of that month. A Mail from Holland, with Papers to the 25th of August, arrived this forenoon. We extract from them the following intelligence from Algiers: ALGIERS, JULY 19. The Dev had begun to arm his corsairs, but the armament has been suspended. It is said to be on account of the numerous Greek ships in the Mediter ranean, with which the Dey wishes to have nothing to do. The plague has broken out here, and seems un-' fortunately to be spreading. At this time the deaths are from 12 to 6 dail in the city. The heat is not S this year ; 1 in general only 113° or 19*. The following is an extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's, at Smyrna, dated July 17 :—" A French fiigate, corvette, and schooner entered this harbour on the 12th, with his Majesty's brig RACE HORSE. The Smyrna, FARMER, for London, has arrived outside our Castle, with the Odessa, PATTI• ' i UnS7, from Malta.

Our situation is one of a very anxious and critical nature. It is said that his Mk. JEsT ;'s Amhassador has been invited to attend at a t.otaeleace with the Porte vu-day." HIS MAJESTY 'S VISIT TO IRELAND. FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. •DUBLIN, THURSDAY, AUGUST ea. There never yet was such an audience in a Dublin Theatre, or such intense and eager anxiety to form it, as on Wednesday last. Early in the forenoon crowds of persons collected about all the doors, and occupied much of the approaches in every direction, and these not of the secondary orders, but carriages, filled with Ladies of fashion, began to move towards the Theatre as early as three o'clock P. at. 'I am happy to say, that notwithstanding the great crush, no accident whatever happened ; and whether our Irish Ladies have more nerve or less affectation than the daughters of Britain, there was not one fainting fit in the boxes, although the weather at this moment is uncommonly warm. As his MAJESTY went to the Theatre, the greeting of the multitude was most ar dent and enthusiastic ; and the streets, at his return, past twelve o'clock, were as full as at noon-day, again to yield him the clamorous tribute of their hearts. The manner in which the KING'S Box was prepared, and the whole style of his reception, was highly cre ditable to the Proprietor, Mr. HARRIS. To-day another busy scene presented itself.— His MAJESTY went to visit the Linen . Hall, the first public institution or establishment to which he went, and, I suppose, in compliment to the staple trade of Ireland. The Trustees all attended in full dress, and refreshments were prepared for his suite. His MA. JESTY went afterwards to the National Bank, where a splendid ddeuni was prepared. This was a sight truly imposing. Admission was bad to the interior only through tickets. The Cash Office, one of the finest and handsomest rooms in Europe, was pre pared wholly for the accommodation of Ladies. The offices, or counters of the clerks, are ranged next the walls, and upon these platforms were erected, with seats thereon, theatrically arranged, one seat ascend ing behind the other, and these filled with Ladies in their gayest, richest dresses, and, waving o'er their lovely brows, the light treasures of the Nubian bird. 'through this galaxy— this milky way of Irish beauty, his MAJESTY had to pass, and if notice, amounting to adoration, from such sources, could gratify royalty, GEORGE the FOURTH ought to feel the proudest and most pleased Monarch in Europe. Everybody who obtained a ticket went in full dress. The immediate approaches to the Bank present, at this moment (three o'clock), an impenetrable mass of people; and the carriages of those who obtained admission, and those who came to see, extend a considerable way in every direction. There were 1,500 tickets of ad mission issued, but, between the force of " love and money," I dare say 200 or 500 more might be added. From the Bank his MAJESTY goes to the Castle, dresses, and then proceeds to dine with the LORD MAYOR and Corporation of the City. Nothing can exceed the splendour of preparation for this feast. — You already know that a new Rotunda has been built for the purpose, a description of which you also have had in our newspapers. The galleries all round will be filled with Ladies. During the dinner vocal and l instrumental music will be performed, and some origi- I nal compositions have been prepared for the occasion. On Monday his MAJESTY dines with the Uni versity, where, from the very limited time there has been for preparation, it is wonderful how everything has been got up so well. Such is the avidity:to see the grand spectacle of the Curragh on Wednesday, that for the last four days carriages, barouches, &c. have been engaged, as high as 20 guineas for the day for a coach or barouche and four horses, and now no vehicle can be had to hire for any money. His MAJESTY, it is said, will not dine with the Turf Club : a dejeuni will be pre pared, but he will return to the Park to dinner. On Monday his MAJESTY is expected to view the Cus tom-House; and, if possible, the new Docks will be opened. On this occasion there is a strong desire to com pliment Sir WILLIAM CURTIS , by admitting his pleasure-yacht into the Dock the first; but the com mercial interest of Dublin oppose this, requiring that a native-built vessel shall be the first to enter the Docks. Two Gentlemen mooting this point, one warmly said, " What right has a stranger and a fo reign-built vessel to this precedency?" " None in the world," answered the other, " none in the world, but through courtesy." That Curtis, I would gladly have exercised towards the worthy, good-humoured, Aldermanic, John Bull Knight. On the evening of the Drawing-room, a young Lady, and a lovely one too, exclaimed, " that she wished of all things to know Lord SIDMOUTH and the Marquis of LONDON DERRY ." The good-natured Baronet overheard her, and soon approaching her with these distinguished Noblemen, one under each arm, introduced-them to the fair aspirant after their acquaintance. DUBLIN, AUGUST gs. I have little to communicate r you to-day. The dinner at the Mansion-House, merely as a dinner,' went off splendidly, and his MAJESTY enjoyed their civic hospitality with a gratifying grace and conde scension. To the LORD MAYOR, Sir A. B. KING, Bart. his affable attention was most distinguishing, as his MAJESTY addressed himself to him particularly l through the evening, until ten o'clock, when he re-1 tired. Owing to some mistake in bringing up the Royal carriage, the KING was detained some minutes in the street, in front of the Mayoralty House, but the delay ought to have been most gratifying to him ; the earnestness with which the people expressed their prayers for his long life and happiness, cannot be de scribed, there was in heart and truth a benediction upon every tongue. After the cloth was removed, the LORD MAYOR gave the health of his MAJESTY, which was drank most enthusiastically ; after this, his MAJESTY arose, and most gracefully and impres sively, gave the health of the LORD MAYOR and Corporation of Dublin. His MAJESTY viewed the Dublin Society House (late the Duke of Lemma's) to-day. A splendid &jostle was prepared, but of which, probably, his MAJESTY did not partake, as was the case yesterday at the Bank. Slane Castle, beautifully seated on the river Boyne, and thirty miles distant from the Capital, will have the honour of receiving its Royal guest this evening. His MAJESTY will remain there until Mon day. On Sunday he will attend Divine Service at the Parish Church of Slane. Among the few pei. sonages of distinction who will accompany his MA JESTY, the Right Hon. W. C. PLUNKETT is men tioned. By the bye, it is considered singular that, notwithstanding the conciliatory mania, Counsellor O'CONNELL did not dine yesterday at the City dinner. Corporately he had no right to be there, but he might have been invited as many others were. The galleries were filled with beauty and fashion. The University-examination Hall is preparing to day, and highly ornamenting, for the dinner to hi. MAJESTY on Monday next. FROM THE DUBLIN "JORNING POST. THE CIVIC DINNER. The moment his MAJESTY entered, the whole of the assembly rose, and a fine military band, placed in the gallery, struck up the grand national anthem of " Goo save the King." His MAJESTY walked up the middle of the room with towering dignity, supported by the LORD MAYOR, who con ducted him to his Throne. His MAJESTY'S suite, :Ind the dignitaries most illustrious in rank, occupied the Royal table. Grace was said by the LORD PRIMATE; the whole of the guests then resumed their seats. — The LORD MAYOR helped his MAJESTY to some soup; but some persons on his MaJasty's left wishing also to be helped, and being t oo far from the LORD MAYOR, his MAJESTY, in the most condescending manner, took the ladle and helped the LORD LIEU. TENANT, Prince ESTERHAZY, the LORD CHANCEL LOR, and some others. When his MAJESTY had finished his soup, he took his glass, and immediately challenged the LORD MAYOR, who sat upon his right, and the LORD LIEUTENANT upon his left; they im mediately rose and bowed to his MAJESTY, who drank to both their healths. The cloth being removed, The Lotto MAYOR row, and proposed the health of " our most gracious SOVEREIGN, who had ha floured this day his Corporation of the City of Dub lin with his presence." This toast was received with the most enthusiastic applause. The LORD MAYOR next gave " the Duke of YORK and the Army," and subsequently 64 the Duke of CLARENCE and the Navy," both of which toasts were received with acclamation. The nest toast included all the members of the Royal Family—(Load cheering). His MAJESTY expressed to the LORD MAYOR, who was his host upon this occasion, his delight and sur prise at the splendid preparations that had been made for his reception. His MAJESTY'S commendations were of such a nature as to call up the LORD MAYOR to make his humble acknowledgments to his MAJESTY. His MAJESTY, after having most condescendingly taken wine with all those immediately about him, in timated his wish to retire, and the necessary arrange ments being made, at a few minutes before ten o'clock his MAJESTY stood up, and, attended by the LORD MAYOR and all the Great Officers of State. proceeded down the centre of the room, all the company stand ing ; the National Anthem was again played on his MAJESTY quitting the room, and we much feared that the festivities of the evening would have been now broken up on his MAJESTY'S departure, but in a minute or two the LORD MAYOR returned, accompa nied by Lord Sinstotrru, the Marquis of LONDON DERRY, the Marquis of CoNYNOHAM, and most of the other Noble Peers who sat at his MAJESTY'S table.— The splendid chair on which his MAJESTY sat was now removed from under the canopy, and the LORD MAYOR having removed his chair into the place of that which had been previously occupied by his MA JESTY, the Marquis of LONDONDERRY took his seat on the LORD MAYOR'S right, and Lord SIDSIOUTII on his left. The LORD MAYOR then rising, 4ave " The g lo r ious 12th, 17th, and 2 8 d of August,' being the auspicious days of his Maaerry's landing, public entry, and honouring the Corp o r ation of the City of Dublin. This toast was hailed with rapturous applause, and it was many minutes before the LORD MAYOR, al though standing, could obtain a hearing to announce the health of Lord SIDMOUTH, which was drank in a bumper, the whole company standing. Lord SIDMOUTH rose, and in a very neat and em phatic speech, thanked the LORD MAYOR and Cor poration for the high honour they had done him. The LORD MAYOR next proposed 44 the health of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY." This toast was en thusiastically drank with three times three, the com pany standing. Contrary to usual custom, they re mained standing, every eye being fixed with intense interest upon the Noble Marquis, who immediately rose, to gratify what seemed to be the anxious ex pectation of the Assembly. The Noble Marquis commenced by congratulating himself that he was entitled to the proud designation of an Irishman, which be considered as one of his most honourable titles—[The Noble Marquis wore several Orders.] — He had been present, in England and on the Conti nent, at many splendid fetes and dinners, but the present was the most delightful repast he had ever witnessed. The hearts of Irishmen, on the present occasion, spoke out, and beat responsive to that of their beloved Monarch who had that night honoured them with his august presence. If he could read the intentions of that benign and paternal heart, he would venture to affirm, that this was not the last time that his friends and countrymen would have the happi nesshis- Majesty co w n a gra s that of m hi a m k se in l g fi ALL his people happy, of seeing him among them: the object of and he as au Irishman, on the good order that the people, from the liighe to the lowest, had manifested on his Majesty's late pnbli c eatry into this city. The Noble Marquis concluded a most eloquent and energetic address, by thinking the health of the Lord Mayor and the other Gentle- men assembled. The LORD MAYOR next gave " the health of the Marquis Conyngharn," who returned thanks in a neat and appropriate speech. His Lordship next gave " the health of Sir William Curtis." Sir WILLIAM stood up and returned thanks. H e expressed his gratitude for the very high and unex ampled honour that had been conferred upon him. He entreated that Assembly, whom h e wished to look upon, not only as count r y men, but friends and brothers, to believe, that , however a portion of the Press of the sister country m i g h t at tempt to oppose the Government and t he Constituted Authori ties , yet the great bulk of the people were true, and firml y 1 1 attached to the King and Constitution ; he wished GOD that the disaffected in Engla n d could only wit ness the unanimity and enthusiasm with w hi c h t h e people of Ireland received the Monarch ; they w ou ld be convinced how futile and impotent any petty en deavours of theirs would be to shake the loyalty of the Empire . . • Sir WILLIAM sat down amidst applauses. The LORD MAYOR now rose, and gave, emphati. dilly, 0 Our most gracious Sovereign George the Fourth, the KING of IRELAND." The band again played " GOD save the King," and the company soon after separated. HIS MAJESTY'S VISIT TO TILE THEATRE His MAJESTY was accompanied by Earl TALBOT, the Duke of MONTROSE, the Marquis of Haanroar, Marquis of GRAHAM, and several Officers of his Household, all of whom stood in the Box beside his MAJESTY. As his MAJESTY entered, the whole au dience rose, and hailed him with acclamation ; his MAJESTY bowed repeatedly ; at each obeisance the applause redoubled—the men in the pit, with one ac cord, waved their hats, and the Ladies in the bores, their handkerchiefs ; some minutes elapsed before the applause subsided. His MAJESTY was dressed in the Windsor uniform, with two large gold epaulettes; be wore the Star and Blue Riband of the Order of &. Patrick, and, we observed uith much satisfaction, that his MAJESTY looked well, and appeared in ex cellent spirits. During the performance he frequently applauded, and paid much attention to the Piece as it advanced; at sere scenes his MAJESTY laughed heartily. As the curtain fell after each act the ap plause was renewed; his MAJESTY appeared th:eply impressed and pleased by these repeated manifesta tions of the public feeling. The performances were, The Dnenna, and Patrick's Day. Miss STEPHEIA sang, besides the songs of the Piece, Eveleen's Bower, in which she was encored. VISIT TO SLANE. One squadron of the 7th Hussars, and one Cap tain, two subalterns, and fifty rank and file, from the 23d Fusileers, with their Band and King's Coker, marched, on Wednesday morning, for Stare Cade, the seat of the Marquis of CoNYNGIIANI, as Guard of Honour to receive his MAJESTY. Friday night a general and brilliant illumining don took place at Kilkenny, in honour of his MA. JESTY'S arrival in Dublin. We understand that the new song, to the air of GOD sane the King, which was first published in the STAR of the 20th instant, is now all the rage in Dub lin. It is but fair to state, that though we ar✓ailed our selves of the copy of the words procured by our Cor respondent, they are still the private property of the ingenious Author. THE QUEEN'S REMAINS. HARWICH, AUGUST W. The Castlereagh packet has just arrived from Cur haven. I have in consequence learnt that the 6/4/- note frigate, containing the body of the late QuEEN, together with the other ships of war which formed the convoy, reached Cuxhaven on Sunday last. Her MAJESTY s remains were immediately taken from on board the Glasgow, and placed in the Wye. The lat ter vessel shortly after sailed for Stadt with the 'loyal corpse, accompanied by the Gannett sloop of war, having on board her late MAJESTY'S carriage, and such of her servants as have been permitted to attend the funeral. It was supposed that these ships would reach Stadt on Monday. Lord and Lady HOOD and Lady ANNE HAMILTON landed from the Ousgore, at Cuxhaven, on Sunday, and set off by land to meet the Royal corpse at Stadt. The Earl of Leicester packet, with Mr. Alderman Wool), and a number of other passengers on board, was seen at no great dis tance from Cuxhaven, which place it was expected to reach on Monday. EARL MOIRA PACKET.--Two inducrious belonging to Drogheda, employed in conveying cattle to Liverpool, were unfortunately lost in the Moira packet. FRANCIS DONAGH, Esq. of New• town, and WILLIAM FAIRTLOUGII, and ?ATV' I3OYLAN, Esqrs. of Drogheda, were providentially saved, er having been several hours immersed is the water nearly to their necks.—Limited Chrouik. We state, with great satisfaction, that Gencal FITZGERA Les brother, who was on board the Moira packet when she struck, was fortunately saved inthe life-boat; he was one of the last persons who left the wreck.—lbid. The principal part of her late MAJESTY4s furnitur and effects was removed from Brandenburgh•H ouse i on Friday last, by the directions of the executer,: they are deposited for the present at Cambridge House. On Saturday, the whole of the stable est:• blishment, and the remaining carriages, were sod to South Audley-street. The servants have receivel notice to quit Hammersmith in a f ew days. It is 7: uncertain whether they will receive the usual alloy, ance made to domestics of the Royal flouseholci case of a demise. Many of the tradesmen of Ilar mersmith are severe sufferers by the lamented 40 6 of the QUEEN. Her late MAJESTY dealt largely ill the hamlet, and paid her accounts with the grutez promptitude. The Navy Board Commissio ners (Sir T B. MA/ . TIN, Sir R. SEPPINGS, and the Hon. Colonel STI: t PYLTON) concluded their labour s of investigatio Portsmouth Dock-yard, on W ednesday last P an J ke off on a similar visit to Ply mouth and e mbto rou3 Dock-yards. The reductions t o be made, as the of their minute inquiries, we understand will oP =Me from the '29th of September nest. I. 1
