TIIE KING'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND; FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. EDINBURGH, AUGUST 15, len. This day, between twelve and one, his Mame,' made his entry into this City, amid the acclamation's of an immense ion course of people, having In the morning landed at Leith from his Royal yacht, and proceeded from thence in his carriage, in procession, to Holyrood-house. On the Kitto's entering the City, his Maassre was met by the Loan PROVOST, Magistrates. and Town Council, who tendered to his Maaasvy the keys of the City, which his Maaasrr was graciously pleased to return to them. His Maury was received at the Palace by his Grace the Doke of Hasittron, the hereditary Keeper, the Great Officers of State, and the Officers of the Household. The Regalia of Scotland were presented to his Maar_srv. And his MAJESTY, on tie Throne, received a Loyal Address from the Loan PROVOST, Magistrates, and Town Council of Edinburgh, and returned a most gracious answer thereto. The Kuic, soon after three this afternoon, left Holyrood- House, and proceeded to Dalkeith-House, which had been fitted up for his MAJESTY'S reception. PRIVATE LETTERS—From the Morning Papers. EDINBURGH, (Santana y Nem?). His MAJESTY appeared at the Levee in a full High land uniform, of what is called the STUART tartan. It is a dress which requires a tall and robust figure to produce advantageous display, and the general opinion at the Levee was, that this martial and pic turesque dress was never worn to more advantage: he wore the Highland broadsword, pistols, and phila beg, and had quite a martial air. Next appeared, in a similar garb, Sir WILLIAM CURTIS; but the worthy Baronet's figure was anything but that of the hardy and swarthy Highlander ; what it wanted, however, in the air of the soldier, was abundantly supplied in the comfortable and jolly expression of the citizen. The worthy Baronet laughed heartily himself at the merriment his presence excited au.ong the Highland Chieftains, who, for the first time, had to rank such a figure among their clans. Sir WILLIAM, however, makes a better soldier than Falatr, while he rivals him in the better part of his other gay qualifications. The Levee was extremely crowded. About twelve hundred persons were presented, the greater part military personages, and many in the Highland cos tume. The personages who had the privilege of entre through the closet were— The Dukes of Dorset, Montrose, Argyll, and Athol; the Marquisres of Winchester, Conyngham, and Graham; the Earls of Fife, Lauderdale, Morton, Monti. Kinnoul, Errol, Breadal- Lane, Kettle, &c. ; Lords Gwydyr, Glenorchy, Ste. ; Air. Peel, the Judges of the Courts of Session, the Law Melville, of the Crown, and the Heads of the Magistracy. A great number of the Gentlemen at the Bar and Writers to the Signet were also presented ; among them was Mr. JAMES STUART, of Dunearn. The other presentations were the principal Scottish Gen tr y and Military Officers. His MAJESTY gave to all a most gracious reception, and expressed himself highly gratified at the presence of so large a body of his Scottish Nobles and People. EDINBURGH, AUGUST Is. The Levee, yesterday, went off with the greatest eclat, and his MAJESTY'S spirits appeared to be evi dently improved since the day before. Holyrood House displayed a degree of animated splendour, which, even in the best days of the STUARTS, had never been witnessed within its walls. Had BURNS lived, and been present at the scene, there can be little doubt but a change would have taken place in his sentiments, and we should not have had from him these beautiful and pathetic lines in reference to the neglected palace and faded glories of the exiled family: " With awestruck thought and pitying tears I view thy noble stately dome, Where Scotia's Kings, of other years Tamed heroes, had their Royal borne; Alas! how changed the time to come ! Their Royal name low in the dust, Their hapless race wild wandering roam, Though rigid law cries out 'twas just !" Both Whigs and Tories attended the Levee in great inumbers, all party distinctions being lost in the desire to convince his MAJESTY that Scotchmen of every party were ready, by their presence on the occasii n, to prove that they could be unanimous in their loy alty and attachment to their SOVEREIGN. Among the Whigs I noticed Mr. JEFFREY, the celebrated Advocate. No accident whatever occurred in the course of the day, though the pageant had collected an immense number of persons ; but this was mainly to be ascribed to the excellent arrangements that had been made to preserve order. But I must not omit to record the ruffian violence of a soldier of the 13th Regiment of Foot, while on duty in the Court-yard. He frequently terrified some respectable persons, as he stood there, whenever they attempted to move; and he had the brutality to alarm delicate females in this manner, to such a degree, that they trembled as they stepped forward a little, to get a peep at his MAJESTY, while the Royal carriage drove in. He would actually have stabbed Mr. H. JOHNsTON, the performer, who is sojourning in this town, had it not been for the happy presence of mind of a Gentleman, who cried out, Stop ! stop ! villain, this is the King's butler." An incident occurred which provoked a laugh among the spectators within the area. The KING'S principal coachman, a personage of goodly port and some consequence, stood apart from the cliers in an open space, waiting the arrival of his Royal - Master, when a ticket-porter, with a belt of cords slung over his shoulder, in the style of his pro fession, and a huge thistle stuck in something like a child's skull cap, that covered his pate, rushed for ward before the constables could see him, and gazed at the coachman from head to foot. He was instantly dragged back, and when asked why he had presumed to exhibit himself in such a manner ? he coolly an swered, aweel, I ken I canna see the King; but I mann see his coachman." How great is the power of Royalty when it can thus make even a Jehu an ob ject of important interest. His MAJESTY left the Palace shortly before five o'clock, and in the evening had a select party to dine with him. Lord GLENLYON, the son of the Duke of ATHOL, had the honour of an invitation. His Grace of Airucie does not, like the other Highland Chiefs, appear here with his feudal retinue, or with his lad on, as it is called ; and the reason alleged is, that he wished in the first instance to bring withhimnot less than.soo followers, but this being objected to as a violation of cre. compact with the other Chiefs, whereby their 7 Ads have been cut short, he preferred to come with cwt a single chianti's, rather than be seen in public shorn of his ancestral honours. Many good and pious people in this good and loyal town of Edinburgh, have been tittering themselves all the week with the hope that his MAJESTY would, on this present Sun day, attend one of the churches, where he might he at once instructed, delighted, and edified=where a discourse, sublime, el , ,quent, powerful and persuasive, might make upon the Royal mind an impression deep, strong, serious, solemn, and durable; but their fond anticipations have been severely disappointed, for his MAJESTY did not appear in any kirk or chapel within the precincts of Auld Reekie, but heard Divine Service in private at Dalkeith. To-morrow his MA JESTY will receive Addresses on the Throne. No day is yet fixed for his return, but it is thought he will not set out till after this week. Mr. KEAN has just arrived from Ireland, and Mr. FAWCETT, of Covent-garden, is also here. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. EDINBURGH, SUNDAY, AUGUST Is. The Levee yesterday was at one o'clock ; two hours before, however, there was an immense string of carriages ready to set down. At ten minutes be fore two his MAJESTY arrived by his private road, escorted by a party of the Scots Greys. He passed with great rapidity, dressed-in the Royal tartan, and wearing the Order of the Thistle. His MAJESTY proceeded to the Presence Chamber, where upwards of 1,500 persons were introduced. At four o'clock his MAJESTY'S carriage and four drove up to the south door, behind a plain coach of a dark-green colour ; into the latter his MAJESTY stepped with two Noblemen—several others getting into the Royal coach. I was anxious to observe whether his MA.. JESTY was in kilt or not—l found, however, he was so surrounded I could not ascertain it. He looked well and in great spirits. He retired by the same road, and escorted in the same manner as he :irrived. Previous to, and after his departure, great con fusion arose among the carriages, of which about 450 were on the gtound. There is no room to wait in after retiring from the Presence Chamber, so that almost all went out to the Park to seek for their car riages. Many carriages were much injured, there being but one outlet from the Park, and that was to answer for those retiring filled, as well as carriages going round to the front to take up their owners. THE LADIES' SILVER CROSS. The most interesting visit paid to the Royal squa dron on Wednesday (14th instant), was the mission of Sir WALTER SCOTT, who conveyed to his MA JESTY the elegant Silver Cross, as a tribute from the Ladies of Edinburgh. The KING having signified his royal pleasure that the same should be presented in the manner which had been requested by our fair countrywomen, Sir WALTER SCOTT proceeded out to the squadron in a barge provided for the occasion, and having been re ceived on beard the Royal George, was ushered into the presence of his MAJESTY. Sir WALTER SCOTT then presented the Cross, which his MAJESTY most graciously received, and expressed his intention to wear is in public.—Caledon. Mercury. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The New Volunteer, of Bristol, from Jamaica, was spoken with on the 14th instant. The Dos Amigos, Spanish brig of war, of 14 guns, has been taken by the Vincedor privateer, and was carried into La Guira 1 the end of March.

A considerable part of the cargo of the Nottingham, from London to Riga, has been saved, and the damaged sold by auction. Lb/lON, Amiss 30—Captain Pitman, of the Walter, arrived from New York and Cork, reports that on the ultimo, about fifty miles N. W. of Cape Roisterer, he fell in with a ship with her stern about ten feet perpendicular out of the water; her masts and sails floating by her, and appearing to have been very receutly carried away; wood bottom, white streak, red quarter deck; spars painted white: supposed to be from Marseilles, as Captain PACKARD picked up a bale of corks with the a:amps used at that city on it, marked N 0 RB. Yaastouvo, AUGUST 17.—The Branchley, from Shields, struck on Haisborough Sand this morning, at two o'clock, and makes much water. Twelve men have been sent off to assist her up to London. 1.

A Cart Saddle and Breeching, run for by cart horses with out saddles, in cart bridles, and rode by teal ploughmen, with cart whips and no spurs.—Three horses started for this prize and it was woe by Lyall's black horse. Owing to the incessant rain which fell in the early part of the day, the company was far from numerous. Divers of the light- Angered fraternity were on the ground, and two Knights of the Garter were detected easing a Gentleman of his handkerchief.— The Ordinary at Clarke's lon, Westhaven, was thinly attended ; but the company present were very happy, and kept it up with great glee till morning. 1 1 2 2 - - GREENWICH BOAT RACE. There was a famous rowing match on Monday, between four expert watertnen, who were distinguished by the colours orange, blue, green, and yellow. The first prize was a very handsome wherry ; the second, five pounds." There were goals at two miles distance from each other, the boats rowing from one to the other, till the match was completed. The contest com menced at eleven o'clock, and terminated about six in the even ing. The coursed were as follow: No. 1. No. 2. No. 5. • Yellow Blue Yellow Green Yellow Blue. Blue Green Orange The first course was to select the three best ; the second the two best from the remaining three; and in this course the Orange was run foul of by a large collier, and was thus rendered inca- , pable of continuing the contest. llue and Yellow being the only ones now remaining, rowed vigorously from one goal to the other three times. Yellow was first the whole time, and on finally reaching the prize -boat, the winner leaped into it ; and Blue arriving aeon after, Tug secundus also entered the boat, and shook hands with his more fortunate opponent, amidst the applause and acclamations of the surrounding multitude. There was Music on the water, and the guns were continually fired, which rendered the whole interesting and gratifying to the im mense crowds assembled on the occasion. CRICKET. Friday, August 16, a match was played at Barking Tye, in Suffolk, between eleven of the Woodbridge Club and eleven of CONSULATE OFFICE OF SPAIN, New York, July le. The Captain-General of the Havannab has just communicated to this Cons%late, that he has issued strict orders to the Gover nors, Lieutenant-Governors, and Commandants in the respective ports in the Island of Cuba, to exact and require the customary Consular certificates from all vessels arriving from the United States; and also, that no foreigner will be permitted to land, who shaU not be furnished with a passport from the Consul, Vise-Consul, or Spanish Agent, at the port of Ms departure. (Signed) THOMAS STOUGHTON. Letters from Constantinople of the 18th ult. repre- 1 sent the city as perfectly tranquil. The Turkish fleet, which had gained immortality by its barbarities and crimes at the unfortunate and defenceless Island of Scio, had at the latest accounts arrived at Tenedos, where it was to be joined by a fleet from Egypt, and after taking troops en board, was to proceed to Patras, with the view of renewing its atrocities.— At Constantinople it was reported that the Greeks had declared their resolution of sacrificing the garrisons of Napoli di Romania and of Patras, as soon as they fell into their hands, notwithstanding orders to the contrary had been issued by the Government at Corinth, and every exertion was ac cordingly used by the Porte to supply them, and also the fortresses of Motion and Coron, with provisions. The Greeks, however, are now too powerfal and too v, ell appointed to dread any injury to their cause, which the few troops that the Turkish fleet may transport could occasion them. That part of the world is now lost for ever to the Ottomans, and a free and enlightened empire will soon appear, unless the Emperor APIXANDUR and the Holy Alliance take it under their r,pecial protection. - the Stowmarket Club.

At a moment when the public mind is so much occupied with everything that can contribute to the hilarity of the propitious visit of our Sovenuon, the following letter, respecting the cos tume of the Royal Archers, will not prove unacceptable. It was contained in one to a Gentleman in Edinburgh, stating, " I have sent you the old Royal Archer coat belonging to my father, which I hope will be taken care of; also a copy of an old letter regarding it, which may be interesting."—Caledonian Mercury. " To re. 1.. or S. XSQ " G--, 6th November, 1777. " Dear M—, few things could give me greater pleasure than to hear of the revival of the Royal Archers. Archery is a manly and agreeable amusement , and associates the best of the kingdom together. I lose no time; in acquainting you that my archer coat is still preserved, and shall send it to you immedi ately. It is pretty odd if my coat be the only one left, especially as it was taken away in the year 1746 by the Duke of Cumber land's soldiers. But Miss G—, of thinking I would regret it, went boldly out among the men, and recovered it from them, insisting with him that it was a lady's riding habit ; but putting her hand to the breeches to take them too, he, with a thundering oath, asked if the lady wore breeches? They had no fringe, only green lace on the coat • the knee buttons were wore open, to shew the white silk puffed out as the coat sleeves —the garters green—the officers' coats had silver lace and fringe ; in place of the green silk, white thread stockings as fine as could be got. All wore blue bonnets (the racers velvet), tucked ep before, on which was placed a cocked* of green and white rib bon by turns, in the middle a 85, Andrew's truss. " The cockade was placed before, intim middle of the bonnet, which was wore scrogg'd, or down upon the eyebrows; the bon net edge orpnerted with a green ribbon tied behind, and hanging down some inches, the bonnet cut or slit behind, to make it sit . well to the head; the bonnet of a small sire, so a to hold the SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. head may; the hair or periwigs, I thinh i irere dressed in ringlets n the shoulders.

The barrio commenced before one o'clock, and was soon decided by a stunning blow at the start. Belcher and Harmer seconded Cabbage, and Tom Owen and Josh. Hudson picked Parish up. Betting was 6t04 on Parish, who was the heaviest man. ROUND I .—Cabbage bit short and was parried, but he made another rush and placed a right-handed blow upon his adver sary's eye, which lashed it. Parish retreated, but his man floored him by a heavy left-handed blow upon the throat, which made his lips quiver, gave his eyes a convulsive roll, and it was seemingly all up-3 to lon Cabbage. 2. Pariah made play by bolting in, when he hit Tway at ran dom, and was hit again and thrown. 3. Parish made some Line parries ; seemed to be recovering ; made a good stand in a rally, and was then thrown. 4. Cabbage went to his work with much gaiety, but he was well parried, and received a serious injury on the arm by the parry from Parish's elbow. Parish was again thrown. 5. Pariah was hit to sleep with the right band, and then thrown with great dexterity. In the 6th and 7th rounds be only stood up to be slaughtered, and a very proper interference took place, to avoid any chance of a worse ending. The fight lasted six minutes only. Parish never recovered the stunning hit in the first round, and his head was kept in a dream in the subsequent ones. Cabbage, although a blinker, with one eye quite shut up, is a heavy !lice , and proved himself too much of a man fur his adversary. Sitcom) Funer.—A battle of an hour took place between a Hampton man (Jibs Holt) . and the Pea-soup Gardener. The Hampton man won it with some good receipts. Pea-soup was seemed queer in the beAlows, and puffetl up with wind—he was also over-weighted, bib he fought with much gaiety, and was the least punished of the two. Jace RANDALL.—The sporting world will regret to hear, that the above-named hero is at present confined to his house, in con sequence of a disagreeable accident which befell him a few nights ago. Ile was standing on the first floor landing-place in his own house, when by sonic accident he fell forwards, and rolled to the , bottom. His face was shockingly disfigured, but notwithstand ing he has thrown down the gauntlet to any man of his weight and size in England. SPARRING, IN SCOTLAND. TROD AN EDINDULON !Arta Or SATURDAY. The lovers of the fancy, we observe, are to have a treat this day, and every day next week, at the Pantheon. Cooper, whose quiet and respectable demeanour here has gained him many friends, has got the assistance of the " ould one," Richmond, and the " out and out" Turner. The latter has never. been seen here ; and from the celebrity of his fights with Randall and Mar tin, and his having been the first to beat the invincible Scrag gins, as he was then called, we have no doubt the amateurs , will turn well out. EXTRAORDINARY FEAT. Lord Emmy has gained his bet of 1,.500 guineas, that he would ride 150 miles, walk ten miles, shoot 40 brace f grouse, and walk ten miles back, all in 24 hours; which he performed in twenty-one hours ' and shot forty-nine brace , being nine brace more than his num ber, and in three hours less time. MONIFIETH RACES.—AUGUST MEETING, nes. Thursday, the following Prizes were run for over the Bud den Course: CHURCH PATROATAGE.- The character given of the Priests by Isarmi,who says they ate "dumb dogs, and cannot bark; greedy dogs, and never have enough ;" is very applicable to our own time.. While poor Curates in the North and West of England are starving on paltry stipends of thirty or forty pounds a-year, and doing the drudgery, perhaps, of two distant Churches, prefer ments are heaped on the friend, of Ministers, or the Cadets of some noble family. A striking instance of the shameful extent to which this is carried, oc- . curs in the person of the Rev. HoGii PERCY, who has lately been promoted to the dignity of Arch+ deacon of Canterbury. This "fortunate youth" has, we believe, no other claims upon the honours and riches of the Church beyond the fact of his being first cousin to the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, and yet we find him receiving, in various ways from it, a sum of £6,000 a-year. We are not aware of all his preferments, but the following list, as far as it goes, is accurate. He is Hector of Ihshopsbourne Prebendary of Fiu,bury Prebendary of Canterbury Archdeacon of Canterbury - Total - £1,400 per annum. 3,000 800 1,800 £6,000 per annum ! LITERATURE. Mrwonts of CnanLes BROCICDE4 Baoww, the American Novelist Author of Wieland, Ormond, Arthur Mervyn, &c. with Selections from his Original Letters and Miscellaneous Writings.—By WILLIAM DeNLAI., *lvo. Notwithstanding the contemptuous sneers of the Edinburgh Reviewers at American literature, the prejudices against it are now subsided, And their in quiry, " Who reads an American book ?". may be answered—" Every person of good taste who can get one." The favourable reception the literature of America has met with in England, is principally owing to Mr. BRowN, the American Novelist, and WASHINGTON lavtrin, gentlemen whose literary talents would do honour to any nation. Mr. BROWN, who died• at the early age of thirty-nine, has left several clever novels, which we are happy to find have been reprinted in this country; but if no other evidence of his talents existed than are to be found in the letters and fragments of this volume of his Life, we should pronounce him a man of a superior mind. We know not any English writer with whom he can so properly be classed as GODWIN ; and we could scarcely pay him a higher compliment did we want to praise, where we only seek to decide correctly. Mr. OUNLAP'S Memoirs of BROWN are well written and highly interesting, as they trace the progress of genius in a man of extraordinary intellectual attain ments, and of great delicacy of sentiment. By the New Vagrant Act, qfficers, or any alter persons, are entitled to a Reward of live Shillings for appre hending offenders under that Statute, to be paid by the Over seers of the Parish in which such offenders may be apprehended. Prostituits being included in the Act, large demands are making fur rewards for their apprehension, and the Poor-rates are likely to be much increased. DRURY LANE TIICATRE.—The whole of the inte rior of this Theatre has beets pulled down, even to the bare walls, for the purpose of constructing the area assigned to the audience. The boxes, in future, are to hold only nine persons instead of thirteen, and there are to be family boxes, but not private ones. It is hardly possible to form a probable judgment of the intended alterations, but it may fait ly be said, that the Public will derive much advantage from them in the essential convenience of seeing and hearing. A NEW PHlLosoivitEit !—They write from Pavia, that the Steur MOSATE, Professor in that city, has un dertaken to prove, by anatomical reasoning, that all the diseases of n►ankind proceed from their not moving on alljOurs, but wa.ki.ig erect on theii legs! This new doctrine, however, has occasii , ned so great a disturbance, as to oblige the Protessoi to ;mike his escape from Pavia; but whether he ran off on all fours is not stated ! A respectable Gentleman, of the name of Pritchard, died lately at Portsmotith, Virginia, in an attent to imitate the S:►vtouß, I.s.y fasting forty day , . .He died on the twenty-fifth day if the trial. In his tatioual moments he was a pious and worthy man. CONVERSATION BETWEEN Two HIBERNIANS.—. " Can you tell me where I'll find Sitfork- , tieet ?"—• " Is it Suffolk-street you want?"—•' Ye-, I want a cousin of mine who lodges there."—" Their you'll not find him ; he's gone away."—" Do you know where?"—" Indeed I do not."—" Well, show Suf. folk-street, honey ; somebody there will tell me."— " I can't do that thing."—" Why so '"=" Suffolk. street is gone away tot."—" And where did it go? may be my cousin is gone the same way ?"—" Faith, then, if he has, he's gone to piece,." A few days since, an old house, w hich stood at the corner of High-street, Athlone, suddenly gave way, and buried three unfortunate creatures beneath its ruins. They were, ' however, extricated in a short time, but in a most mangled manner. A little girl, one of the sufferers, died in the course of the day; the other two, a man and woman, still languish in the greatest agony. At the close of the King's County Assizes, a man named William L'Estrange was liberated by order of the Court. He had been cote fined in the jail 01 Phillips. town for upwards of '2,0 years. His first charge was for the murder of a child ; and he has been since, until within the last two years, in a deranged state of mind. A subscription was entered into by the Hon. Baron SMITH, and the Gentlemen in Court, for the unfortunate man. A few days since, a full-grown woodcock was taken 'alive in a garden at Newest, Gloucestershire. CORR RILCMAIIOI, Maui-LARR.
