Just before sun -set, en Saturday evening, a tem porary stage-way was conveyed from the Dock-yard, to the water's edge, to be fixed there, for, 'hauld the wind bloc• as it has done during the last few days, there might be a surf occasioned, which at least would cause an unpleasant motion of the barge in which his MAJcsTY will embark. The squadrni will be under weigh previous to his MAJESTY'S arrival, and, on his reaching the Royal Georg:, will immediately proceed on the voyage to Dublin.

The private yachts which are to accompany his MAJESTY, are principally at Cowes. Both Ityde and Cowes are crowded with fashionable visitors, whoa have come down to behold the splendid scene, which the embarkation and sailing of his MAJESTY will present.—Many Captains of the sloops and frigates had intended to take with them a limited number of their friends ; but the Admiralty has issued the fol lowing Order : " The Admiralty have commanded that no person be re ceived on board any of the yachts or ships of the Royal Squadron without orders from the Admiralty, or the commands of the It is expected that his MAJESTY Will be a full week on the voyage, even with leading winds, at the pre sent season of the year.

TO THE EDITOR OF TTIE STAR. " Sts—The ,darns expressed by a Lady on seeing me in Weat :Muster-11J! on the day of hi: Majesty's Coronation, and the publicity which her Ladyship judged it becoming to give to that expression of her alarm by means of your Paper, I should have treated with the indifference due to such mock heroics in one of the fair sex, hut that it has been copied into other Papers with comments and additions which seemed to me to reflect both upon my conduct and the Highland character. I trust, there fore, to your sense of justice fur giving to the Peblic the real history of the " mysterious circsintstunce," as it is termed. I had the honour of a Royal Duke's Tickets for my daughter and my self to tee his Majesty crowned, and I dressed upon that mag nificent and solemn occasion in the full costume of a Highland. Chief, including of course a brace of pistols. I had travelled. about GOO miles for that purpose ; and in that very dress, with both pistols mounted, I had the honour to kiss my Sovereign's hand at the Levee of Wednesday last, the 25th instant. " Finding one of our seats in the Hall occupied by a Lady on our retunt to the lower gallery (whence I had led my daughter down for refreshments), I, upon replacing her in her former si tuation, stepped two or three rows further back, and was thus deprived of a view of the mounted Noblemen, by the anxiety of the Ladies, which induced them to stand up as the horsemen entered, whereupon I moved nearer the upper end of the gallery, and had thereby a full view of his Majesty, and the Royal Dukes upon his right hand. I had been standing in this position for some time, with one of the pilasters in the fold of my right arm, and my breast pistol in that hand pointing, towards the seat-floor on which I stood, when the Champion entered, by which means I hung my body forward in anything but seemingly as living to present it in fact, I had taken i, into my hand io order to relieve my chest from the preo.ure of its weigln, after having worn it slung, till then, from four o'clock. Itwan at this instant that a Lady, within a short distance, exclaimed, 0 Lord, 0 Lord, there is a Gentleman with a pistol!' to which I an swered, ' The pistol will do you no harm, 'Madam ;' but a second time she cried out,' 0 Lord, 0 Lord, there is a Gentle man with a pistol !' " This last I answered by assuring her that the pistol was not loaded, but that I would ' instantly retire to my place, since it seemed to give her uneasiness; and I was accordingly preparing to do so, when accosted by a young Knight-ert ant, and closely followed by two others, likewise in plain clothes, one of whom, the first that began to mob me, for it merits no other tern;, laid his hand on my pistol, still grasped, under a loose glove, in my right hand; and, observing the numbers increase on his side, he asked me to deliver hint the pistol. Need I say that, as a High land Chieftain, I rt fused his demand with contempt ? The second Gentleman then urged his friend's suit, but was equaLy unsuccessful ; a Knight of the Grand Cross was then introduced with all due ha:tours, by the name of Sir Charles, into this petty contention, and he also desired me to give up my pistol to that Gentleman, which I flatly refused ; but added, that un derstanding hint by his dress, &c. to be a Knight of the Grand Cross, he might have it if he chose, with all its responsibility ; for, as I had already said,' it was not loaded, and pistols were a part of my national garb in full dress.' " Again, Sir Charles desired me to give it to that Gentle man,' but my answer was, No, Sir Charles, you as a soldier may have it, as the honour of an Officer and a man of family will be safe in your hands; but positively no other shall, so take it or leave it, as you phase.' Soon after the Knight Grand Cross had come up, I perceived the Gentleman to the scarlet frock (who appeared to be sent by Lady A—y), but his conduct was not prominently offensive in this -Muir. Sir Charles, after the conversation above referred to, took possession of that pistol, the other being always worn by me in its place ; and the Knight Grand Cross, having first declined my turning up the pan to show that there was no powder in it, I told him I had a daughter under my protection in the I 1011, and consequently proceeded in that direction, on his signifying a wish that I should retire, adding, I have worn this dress at several Continental Courts, and it never was insulted before.' I begged the favour of his card (which he had not upon him), at the same time gave him my name, and the hotel where I lodged, expressing an expecta tion to see him. Sir Charles at this time begged I would move forward, and I begged of hint to proceed in that direction, and that I would follow ; this he did a short way, and then halting, requested I would walk first. I said, I had no objections, if he followed however, he and the Squire remained a little behind, probably to examine the pistol I had lent Sir Charles, which the latter shortly came up with and restored. " Soon after I was seated I missed my glove, and returned in search of it to the close vicinity of Lady A. when her gallant Squire pledged himself to fetch it to me if I retired to my seat, and he soon after redeemed his pledge: meantime !sir Charles must recollect that I spoke again to him, upon my way back, and that I then mentioned to hint the name of a near connection of mine, well known in command of the Coldstream Guards; and as neither of these Gentlemen have called for me since, I presume they are satisfied that the blunder was nut upon my side, and that my conduct would bear itself through : the con clusion of the day went off very pleasantly, and when satiated therewith, my daughter and I drove off amidst many marks of civility and condescension even front strangers, as well as from our own countrymen and acquaintances in the highest ranks. " This, Sir, is the whole bistro y of the absurd and ridiculous alarm. Fistula are as essential to the I lighland Courtier's dress as a sword to the English Courtier's, the Frenchman, er the Ger man; and those used by me on such occasions are a; unstained with powder as any Courtier's sword with blood. It is only the grossest Ignorance of the highland character and costume which Could imagine that the assassin lurked under their bold and manly form.—With respect to the wild fantasy that haunted Lady A. a brain, of danger to his Alajesty, I may be permitted to say, that George IV. has not in his dominions more faithful subjects than the Highlander;; and that not an individual witnessed his Ms. jesty's Coronation who would more cheerfully and ardently shed his heart's blood for hint than your humble servant (not ' naughton') but (Signed) " ARII-FLATR SIOL-CIII3IS/1 .ILAC-MHIC ALASTAIR.
