' [E . Tliß KING. -ow It was about a quarter after eight "dock 'on Non day evening, when the King arrived at Sir William Curtis's house to dinner. A company of foartees sat down at table with his Majesty, vit.—Marquess of Conyngham, Earl of Liverpool, Sir B. Illoosnfield, Sir' Edmund Nagle, Lord Chief Justice Dallas, Baton Garrow, Sir Wm. Curtis, and five of his family. It is needless to observe that the "dinner was sumptuous and superb, and that his Majesty's affability was con spicuous on the occasion. As an instance of his kind consideration it is stated, that Lieut. T. Curtis, a ne phew of Sir William, having the honour of being pre sent, his Majesty took out of his pocket-book a Com mander's Commission, and presented it to the young Gentleman, saying that it was a mark of respect for his uncle, Sir William ; and hoped that he. Lieut. Curtis, would long enjiby this and other honours in his profession. On Tuesday morning the people who were disap pointed of the sight of the King on the preceding evening, received an ample compensation, for his Ma jesty went from Sir William's house to the pier in an open barouche belonging to Chief Justice Dallas. His Majesty arrived at the Pier-house about half-put ten, whoa the deputation of the inhabitants and visitors of Ramsgate, who had prepared an address to•tke 4ing. bad the honour of an introduction to the Royal pre. sence and were graciously received. On the address being delivered, his Majesty returned an answer seed by himself. This ceremony being concluded, the King pro ceeded to embark, amidst loud acclamations. The concourse assembled to witness his embarkation was, as might be expected, very great, and the harbour was nearly covered with boats and vessels of every kind and description, among which were two or three steam boats, with passengers. which accompanied his Majesty some distance on his voyage with intent to re turn at night. The Royal yacht was anchored a short distance from the Pier Head, and the other ves sels destined to accompany it around the Royal George within hail. The boats belonging to the vessels of the squadron, with the crews gaily dressed, were waiting on the beach, or rowing near the shore. At a quarter before eleven his Majesty went on board the Royal yacht beat with his retinue, accompanied by Sir W. Curtis, whose yacht also proceeded with the squadron. It was exactly eleven o'clock when his Majesty reached the Royal George yacht, and, upon the King ascending the vessel's side, the Royal Standard was run up to the main-top-gallant-mast with celerity, the whole of the Royal squadron firing a salute, which was answered by the vessels in the Downs. In a few minutes after, the Royal yacht was observed to make sail, and stand fur the Downs, in *most majestic style, attended by innumerable pleasure vessels and ships of war. As she neared Deal, the weather being fine and the wind fair, the scene became more and more ate!. mating ; boats of all sizes were to be seen hastening to the Royal yacht, and his Majesty repeatedly ap proached the gangway of the ship, and acknowledged his sense of the attention of the people. At half-past twelve his Majesty passed through the Down • at a iti 'arierpast one he was clear Of tale Sun and Head; at three nothing was visible from Deal t the Royal Standard at the maintop gallant-mast head ; and at half-past four o'clock hie Majesty landed at Calais Caws, SIWT. 25, 11 o'clock, A.K.—The Duke of Wellington, and the Marquess of Londonderry arrived yesterday, and this instant the Venus steam vessel is come in with Sir Benjamin Bloomfield and Sir Wm. Curtis's son, &c. DOVER, Seer. 25.—This morning his Serene High ness Prince Esterhasy and suite embarked on hoard the Lord Sidtnouth passage vessel, which sailed for Calais, under a salute from the guns at the Heights ; alto sailed the French packet L'Antigone, with pas sengers—these vessels were seen entering Calais har bour about three hours after they left this port. — Sailed this morning for Boulogne the Dart passage vessel, with passengers. Arrived this evening the King George packet. with the Countess Moltke, tom Calais. His Excellency Count Moltke, the Danish Ambassador, arrived here this morning from London, to meet the Countess on her landing here. THE MILITARY AND THE PEOPLE. The late transactions in which the military hare been concerned, the fatal effects thereof to the lives of peace able citizens, and the pains which were taken to avert the consequences, in the due visitations of retributive jus tice, continue to haunt the imagination, and to terrify with forecast of prospective evils the apprehension of every really constitutional and reflecting man ib the kingdom. Startled as the late Speaker of the Bosse of Commons said, and justly said, our forefathers would have been by the enormity of corruption which was then avowed, they must have been still more so; they would have stood aghast at the bare recital of the man ner in which, since that time, the military have been managed and employed. " To prevent the Executive Power from being able to oppress," says Judge Blackstone, it is requisite that the armies with which it is entreated should consist of the people and have the same spirit with the poopk as was the case at Rome, till Marius neiroscidolled the legions, by enlisting the rabble of Italy, and kid the tiendetios of all the military tyranny that mud. — Nothing, then, according to these principles, ought to be more guarded against in a free state, than making the military power, when such a one is necessary to be kept on foot, a body too distinct from the people. Like 01.111, it should be wholly composed of =towel sabiedni it ought only to be enlisted for a short and baited time; the soldiers also shoals, live intermixed with tie people; no separate camp, no BARRACKS, DO Weed fortresses, should be ALLOWED. And perhaps it might be still better, if by dismissing a stated number and en listing others at every renewal of their term, a circula tion could be kept up bet Ween the army and the people, and the citizen and the soldier be more intimately coll uded together." Can, then, any man solicitous for the honour and safety of his country, ;salons of preserving br his children the privileges banded down to him from his ancestors, fearing degradation or detesting tyranny. compare the principles avowed even by • courtly and high preregadve lawyer. who notoriously hunt to the side of assumed authority rather than to that of the people, with shot:induct of Ministers and their prate onsets of the same school regarding the military, with• out shuddering with horror ? • Blackstone seems to have considered sears* within _ _ _ _ a r ie : . in e • Blackstone mans to have considered mammy Imam f ive ileac asso i diuts two rare rUILADIMVIA ADO.

To thisibe should reply, that he thought the advantages greatly outweighed the risk, and he saw no great harm even from the knowledge of the world which independent of the professional education, wk. s to be acquired by such a domicile.

Mr. Lowooss.—" An Asiatic and luxuriant price for doodles indeed." Mr. Howe said, that his objection was not so much to the sum expended, as to the system upon which it was applied. He referred again to the liberality which Dr. Gikhristbad 'always displayed, and the enthusiasm with which he bad devoted his talents to extend the knowledge of the native languages, quite regardless of personal considerations. .It was the wish of the Doctor, that instead of 3 guineas, the sum now paid by medical students for the course of lectures, the price should be only one guinea, and the instruction extended to all those sent out to India by the Com pany. By that course they would have the adtantage of this most essential branch of 'guidon being gene ral among their servants, andat a price which brought it completely within the reach of those whose means were the most limited.—(Hear.) Mr. R.JACISON expressed his entire concurrence in every thing which had fiillea from his Hon. Friend respecting the merits of Dr. Gilchrist. whose services he highly extolled, end the value of which to the Com pany's servants in lades, he thought of the most pa ramount importance. The CUAIIIMAN said, in explanation. that both at Addiscombe and Haleybury, there were professors of Ilindostanee. so that that particular language was by Itn means, as the Hon. Gent. wbo spoke immediately before the last supposed. neglected in the collegiate education of their officers. To show that both their military and civil servants were required to study Ilindostanee, he reerred to a complimentary expres sion used by the Marquess of Hastings in a speech he made at the college of Fort-William in the year 1819, when he alluded to the education of the students who came out from Haleybury, and pointed out Mr. Lind say who was at the head of the Persian class, and 4th scholar in Hindostanee. The Chairman then admitted in the fullest terms the merits of Dr. G., to whose pen sion of 3001. a year the present resolution would add 3501. more, but said that various opinions were held upon the propriety of the general requisition for rum palling all the young men to reside two months in London, before they were sent to their ultimate destination. Mr. limey a'.a.) spoke upon the value of a system of education which diffused a knowledge of the native languages among the Company's servants. Mr. LOWNDZS also enforced the same topic. A Paorateroa (whose name we could not learn). stated, that immense advantages were in point of re *sone derived by the Company from the edscation gaga Dr. Gilchrist had given some of their servants, and the consequent facility they had acquired of knowing the natives and their habits. After a few explanations from the preceding speak ers, the resolution respecting Dr. Gilchrist was put, •and unanimously agreed to. The CH AIRMAN then proposed, for the adoption of the Proprieturs, a resolution for the Court of Directors of the sth instant, granting to Mr. John Mode Pelly, of the Bombay. Civil Establishment, the sum of 20001. upon the grounds therein stated, which grounds shortly were the part remuneration of the individual named in the resolution for a heavy less which be bad under peculiar circumstances, incurred by a contract in India. Mr. Ilene said that he had not read the documents in this case, and should therefore postpone his opinion until the second reading of the resolution at their next meeting. He could not, however, help saying,l that nothing was more improper than the practice of the civil servants of the Company having any con nexion with their commas. Mr. Rigor called the attention of the Court to the case of Messrs. Thomson and Co., wbo were fined be cause the frost in the river prevented their delivering a contract on a given day, and where the Company sustained no loss whatever. The Daetrry Cuatassan said, that though there was no actual loss. there had been a great inconve nience in the delay of loading a ship at the bottom of which the.contract (iron) was to be stowed. A long conversation arose upon the point of order whether Mr. Rigby could discuss the forfeiture upon the one contract. when the question was the IMMO . neration for another; and it terminated by Mr. Rigby giving notice of his intention ona future day to bring the subject again before the Court. The Resolution respecting Mr. Pally was then put, and agreed to ; -Mr. If. 'action, Mr. Rigby, and Mr. Heine reserving to themselves the right of expressing their opinious apes the subject when• lutroduced (as it must, according to the standing order) on the next Court day.—The Court then adjourned at 4 o'clock. MARKETS. WATIMFOUD, SlPT.24.—Last week the receipts of corn from farmers were almost Immense. However, they seemed on Saturday to fall off. Perhaps the de crease may be owing to the decline in our markets. The currency of Saturday was—Wheat, inferior. 90s. to 255., and muck neglected—prime 275. to 295. in request ; Barley still continues so scarce that quota tions might be considered almost nominal; it now rates from 9s. 6d. to 11s.; Oats, 9s. to 10s. Gd.; Flour of all descriptions still continues stationary, except old prime Second Flour, which seems to advance, and rates now 461. to 435., some ask 495. and Ws., and in a few instances these prices were obtained, for export. New Flour Is still very scarce, so that quotations with respect to it seem almost aenditall New Second Flour • 40s. to 445., on trial, it produces excellent bread: Old Third and Sharps 945. to 38s:; North Ns. to 925.1 i Oatmeal lii. lid. to lb. rather soiree; however the demand is sit Improved.

Paris papers of Sunday arrived last night, and of Monday this morning. In the former was an article from Frankfost, containing a Erman from the Grand Seignor, addressed to the new Greek Pktriarch, in which he orders him to assure the insurgent Greeks of a com- plete amnesty, in case they return to their obedience. The papers last received contain an article from the . . Austrian Observer, which announces as official news fru= Constantinople, of the date of the 25th of August, the same date as the accouots which last reached Eng- land, that the &mans and orders issued by the Go vernment, together with the appeal made by the Pa triarch to the Greek nation, had produced the effect expected. The article proceeds to state that public tranquillity was entirely re-established at Constanti nople, in so much that the merchants and artisans, of whatever nation they might be, bad resumed their ordinary occupations, in security, even in the most seqnestered quarters of that vast capital. The 19th ofAug. there was read in all the Christian churches a pastoral letter of the Patriarch, who assures the Greelc popula tion of the protection of Government, and who, at the same time, recommends tranquillity. An order had been sent to the corps of Janissaries to evacuate the principalities on the left bank of the Danube, those of %Vallachia and Moldavia. There has not occurred any remarkable event in the Peloponesus. The Turkish commanders appear to count more on the ef fects of the discord which reigns among the Greek in- habitants of that country, than upon the military operations which they might undertake at this time. Every city is in a state of quarrel with its neighbour, and they reckon as many Generals of an army that has no existence, as there are cities in the Peloponesus. The most part of the armed ships in the Archi pelago turn out to be little better than pirates. iMany such instances have occurred of late, among which are cited the following two as the most remark able. An English ship, fitted out from Liverpool, having sailed from Alexandria for Co nstantinople, bad the misfortuse to be met by one of these armed pirates in the Gulph of Spessia. It was taken to the little Island of Cow, situated between Candice and Rhodes, a short distance from Scarpento. A Turkish family oft thirteen persons coming from Egypt were massa cred at Coso in the most cruel manner. The English Captain found means to escape, and gain Alexandria, where he gave an account of the affair, which deter mined in the PACRA of Egypt to put an embargo on all European vessels, in order to save them from a si milar danger. An Austrian vessel, coming also from Egypt, had on board several Armenians, on their re turn from the Holy Land. This vessel also fell into the hands of Buccaneer ; the vessel and cargo were re spected, but the Armenians who were found in her were seised, dragged ashore, abused, and plun dered of all they possessed. The Chevalier Zea Bermudez, Ambassador from the Court of Spain, had on the 16th of August, his first audience of the Grand Vizier, and was received with the usual ceremony. A fire had broke out the 21st of August at Pere, in the quarters of the Turks, near the Seraglio, inhabited by the pages of the Grand Seignor. A part of the mosque, and nearly sixty houses fell a prey to the flames. Commercial letters speak of a victory gained by the Greeks, united with the Thessalians, over the troops of the Pacha of Salonica, near Cassan dra. It was a very bloody affair. An article from Lisbon, of the Bth of Sept. says, that the ministry was about to be changed. General Pm. pleura who is to be Minister of war, is well known in France, where he served under Napoleon. The Minister I whohad held that office, as well as he who bad been Mi- nister of mail°. bad previously resigned. An article from Madrid, of the 13th inst., states that . General Morillo would be re-established in the functions of Chief Governor of Madrid, and Captain-General of New Castile. D. &wishes Sanchez Salvador is ap pointed Minister of war. Gen.Urimaretz was about to be condemned to death for the cause of ultra royalism. Gen. Guillaume is said to have been arrested on the 9th instant, at Valencia. His papers have been seized- This General recruited with much activity in that province, for the corps that was to proceed to conquer France. Riego arrived at Lerida, the place of his destination, on the 7th instant. The municipality of Madrid has notified that his Majesty has caused it to be intimated that in a few days he would retire to the capital. The apprehension of epidemic disease had caused great consternation at Tortosa. The Government were proceeding to send two physicians to Barcelona, to point out the mode of treating the per sons attacked with the yellow fever. The Preneb papers contains various articles respect ing the visits of our King on the Continent. His Ma jesty is not expected at Paris before the 15th of No vember. On his return from Hanover, it is said, the issegtaito under which his Majesty travels wiN 'be re movid, and he will be received isi Fromm in t manner becoming a groat monarch,, its ally.
