Certain of the Peers, it is said, had offered the Queers their Tickets, which her MAJESTY, with becomibg dignity, declined. The idea of forming a Committee for the pnrpose of arranging a procession to attend the Quinn to Westminster, though confident ly* stated in another paper on Saturday, Las, we are assured, never been contemplated. An announcement appeared in several of the papers of Saturday morning, the ostensible object of which was t.) invite " all persons who were anxious to preserve public tranquillity, to meet at the Horns Tavern, Ken nington, at 12 o'clock that day, for the purpose of con sidering the propriety of adopting an Address to the Kist:, recommending that the Coronation of the tiz.rem should take place within s limited time, say a week, after that of his MAJESTT." From certain cir- cumstances which transpired in the course of the fore noon, no small suspicion was attached to the invita tion ; and from the nature of the answers given to en quiry at tbel'avorn at the boor appointed, it was in ferred that no meeting had taken place. A meeting. however, of some sort was, we learn this morning, held. In pursuance of the Resolutions passed on the occasion, a deputation waited upon the Home Secretary of State with a letter requesting to be in formed when it would be the KING'S pleasure to re •ccire the Address. In answer to the application, they hare been informed by Mr. H. llon►tocsa, of the cus tomary modes of presenting addresses, and that there would be no opportunity for presenting the Address, by a Deputation, previous to his M ussrv's Levee, which is expected to he held on the 25th instant. Paris papers to the 13th instant ha►e arri►ed. Se veral of them are filled with strictures on the talents and political conduct of Bonaparte. One of them notices as remarkable that notwithstanding the approaching Coro nation of his Britannic Majesty, more persons have dis embarked at Calais than ha►e left that place for England. The Marquess de Santa Crux, Ex Spanish Ambassador at Paris, has resei►ed orders to attend the Coronation of the Meg of England, in the name of his So►ereig►n. By the Madrid Papers to the 4th instant, it is ascertained that that city enjoyed then the moat perfect tranquillity. Fire NCR CENTS.—WetilleSday, 81 f. 40 c. Dr.essarto Svocx.-97 f. 25 c.

The Turks,com►nanded by the Pacha of thrall, attempted an attack upon tialacs, hut were repulsed, the insurgents having been reinforced by the corps of Decka and of Basile Karabia, who came up to their aid by forced marches. Bucharest is occupied by the Greek troops, comnsmadoul ky Theodore and Kamana Sawan. It is stated that the itdvanced posts of Prince Ypsilanti, eons mantled by Oeorjachi and Farmoscki, after having passed the Danube. near Sistow, have entered Bulgaria, where the Bishop of 'l'ernow has called upon the insur gents to avenge the assassination of their Patriarch, and of the Archbishops of Adrianople and Philippopoli. It appears that the whole country, to the latter town, is in open insurrection. There is uo longer any doubt that the Turks have entirely evacuated the Mores, with the exception of the fortress of Pasto, or Pastuni ; and it is stated that the garrison of this fortress has offered to ca pitulate, on condition that the inhabitants shall be at liberty to embark for Egypt with their property. The Bey of Negropont, who was on his march to assist the besieged 'forks, has been defeated by a chief of the in surgents named Perivas, near Zilani, in Thessaly. More of the Ottoman troops who succeeded in escaping, are dispersed is the mountains. The corsairs of Ilydra have captured several Turkish vessels sailing for the Morea with troops, who have been without pity thrown into the sea, with the exception of some Turks who con. stinted to be baptised. Two thirds of the city of Athens are reduced to ashes. The Turks have retired into the citadel, where, however, they are in want of water. The Madrid papers which arrived yesterday to the 2tl inst. state the capture of Alejo Sans, a robber and as sassin, who hail been for some years the terror of Cal tille, and represents the condition of the factious Zal (lira as desperate, being almost wholly deserted by his partizans. By the Brussels papers to Friday, which arrived last night, we learn that a Courier from the Ottoman Porte passed through Hamhurgl► on the 24th inst. on his way from Bucharest to London. Subscriptions to assist the Greeks are stated to have been opened at Russia, and Gier►nan speculators have embarked in the ports of the Baltic arms of all kinds, for the use of the Greeks. Ac counts from Vienna of the 29th of June say, " the news that the Oreeks had forced the passage of the Dar danelles is not confirmed. At Saloniche and Belgrade there have been numerous executions of the most' dis tinguished Greeks; at Constantinople the massacres con tinue, and it is not possible to see where the rage of the Turks will stop. If we may credit private accounts fresh disorders, attended with bloodshed, took place in that city on the 7th and Sth of June." llaussaLs, JULY 12.—The first Chamber of the States General met yesterday at eleven, to continue the debate on the new law of Finance, which was passed by A majority of only four votes. Of 51 Members who com pose the Chamber, only 36 were present. This morning the Session of the States General was closed by the Minister of the Interior, in the name his 31,1jesty : 15 Members of the two Chambers were present. The Session of 1821 ►ill open at the Hague on the 15th of October next. By the llamburgh mail which previously arrived %VC learn from Odessa, of the date of the I I th •f June, that the Oovernor had announced to the Merchants there, in order that they might take such measures as they might judge expedient, two official notes he re ceived from Barton Strogonoff, the Russian Minister at Constantinople. In the first the Baron states the protest be has been obliged to wake against the cow • sesineissee- of the proceodieg of the). MAUL Govern ment relative to the embargo; and, in the setond.points out to the Chamber of Commerce, the steps that must be taken to viable him to enforce the claims of those who may suffer loss by the interruption. By this mail we also learn that Reports had I been received at Vienna, from the Austrian authorities on the frontiers of Transylvania, which are said to announce that Russian troops had entered Moldavia. Letters from Odessa of the 14th ult. state, on the report of persons arriving there from Constantinople, that the Porte has adopted measures of extraordinary severity against those merchants who held correspond ence with the Greek commercial houses in the Morea.— From 360 to 300 of these individnals are said to have been seised, and placed on board of boats prepared for the purpose, which were sn nk in the sea. I t should be added, however, that this atrocious proceeding does not receive confirmation by the Turkish letters received by way of , Vienna; and hopes exist, therefore, that it may prove inaccurate. Meantime the next accounts from Constan- , tinople are expected with the most painful anxiety. In the letters from the 3lorea it is stated that the Turks are marching troops thither, by way of Corinth, which has recently fallen into their possession; but no details are given of actual operations. Saturday Earl Bathurst and Count Munster had audiences of the King, at his Palace in Pall-mall. Yesterday the Lord Chancellor bad an audience of his Majesty. The King, the Duke of York, the Duke of Cam bridge, and the Princess Augusta, attended Divine Ser vice yeeterday at the Chapel Royal. Toe KING'S VISIT TO IRELAND.—The preparations at the Castle and at the Park for his Majesty's reception, are proceeding with great bustle, and are in a very for ward state. His Majesty's ship Lee, commanded by Cap. tain !Heckler, ha• received orders to attend his Majesty lon his visit to Ireland, and is dire.•tea to be at Porta lmonth on the _oth for that purpose.—(Dullin Ercabzs Post.) The Earl of Portarlington and R. S. Keating', Esq. have had the honour of two interviews with Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, relative to his Majesty visiting the Cnrragh of Kildare, on the approaching tonr to Ireland ; the King was pleased to signify that he was fully sensible of the attention of the Noblemen and lientlemen of the Turf Club, an.l should time and cir cumstances permit, that his Majesty would feel con siderable pleasure in accepting their kind invitation. .% grand and splendid meeting will take place on this occasion. Monday, part of his Majesty's baggage arrived at Liverpool, and that evening was put on board one of the vessels for Dublin. Saturday morning another waggon load of his Majesty's baggage, under a military escort from Wool wich, left town for Liverpool, to embark for Inland. On the day of the Coronation, festivities of different kinds are preparing to be celebrated in most of the cities anti corporate towns in the kingdom. At Man chester a procession was proposed, which has given rise to the following :- 1. A meeting of Journeymen Boot and Shoemakers was held on Monday, to consider the mole of conduct to be adopted by the trade on the day of the coronation. For the following amongst other reasons, they decline joining in the intended procession :—Because any extra ordinary display of loyalty on the occasion of a Coro nation from which the Queen is to be excluded, would seem to apply a tacit approval of the horrid proceedings adopted against her Majesty;—because the " six acts" at present prohibiting Englishmen from assembling to mike known their grievances to the throne, they will not assemble in public until they ran claim to do so as a right; anti because to join in any public rejoicing emanating from the present ministry, might seem to involve a forgetfulness of the dreadful scenes of the 16th of August, Isl 9. Since these resolutions were posted on the walls, a counter placard has made its appearance, signed by four masters and one journeyman, denting the authenticity of the former, anti disavowing all par ticipation in its sentiments. Which are the true sons of St. Crispin—the Processionists or the A nti-Processionists —we really do not know."—(.llnar6oder Genrtlioa.) At the meeting of the Corporation of the city of York, held on Monday last, the night lion Lawrence, Lord Dundas, (the Lord Mayor) in the Chair, it was resolved, that the members of the corporate body, pre ceded by a band of music, should join in procession through the streets of the city on the day of the King's Coronition ; that they shall afterwards dine together, anti that 401. worth of ale shall be tlistri bitted to the populace. The regiment of Hussars, stationed at the barracks, will, we understand, join' the procession. The Lord Mayor and Corporation of that ancient city, have thins left it to the discretion of the people, whether, or not, they will join the proces sion ; of this we are convinced, that very few of the disimterested inhabitants will be found joining in the festivities of that day, if the Queen be not allowed to participate in the ceremony of the Coronation. For, as a respectable contemporary, resident in that city, justly observes, " how is it po-•ible that the Pcoorm: who are ever friendly towards the injured Innocect, and the persecuted Helpless, can feel joy and exulta tion in that which gives pain to one they sincerely love." Yesterday afternoon a number of Dentlemen from Woolwich were in St. James's-park, making arrange ments for a grand discharge of rockets awl other fire works of various descriptions on Thursday evening, in honour of the King's Coronation. We understand other demonstrations of rejoicing are to sake place, and a balloon will ascend. The whole to be under the direction of Sir William Congreve.—Yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, three loyal Artillery wag gons from the Arsenal at Woolwich, arrived in the Park, with the preparations for the fireworks, and were placed near the guard-house at Pinolicu-gate. Alderman Perring, Sir R. C. Glyn, and others, as a deputation, waited on Lord Sidmouth en Friday, who assured them the table for the court will be prepared, as usual, on the right hand of the King. Should the Lord Mayor continue ill, the nomination of his repre- 1 seutative will, it is understood, be with the King. His Serene Highness the Dike of Saxe ,bleiningen, the brother of the Duchess of Clarence, attended by Baron llattmbach, Baron de Twercke, and Lieutenant Eduard flail, It. N. arrived at the residence of the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, St. James's Palace, on Saturday morning about ten o'clock. His late Majesty, it said, was so fatigued, after the ceremony of his Coronation, that he did not quit his apartment at St. James's for three days after. There is not now one Peer or Peeress living, who was present at the Coronation of his late Majesty. The Sawyers of London and its vicinity, presented this day an Address to her 3lajesty. A numerous body of them attended, and were graciously received. To their Address the Jueen was pleased to return the following answer:— " I am much obliged by this affectionate Address from the operative Sawyers of London, Westminster, South wark, and the Dock-yards upon the river Thames. " The late conspit acy against my honour and my peace was defeated by the union of the people. The people forgot all their political differences, while they were generously defending a vilified woman. and a persecuted Queen. The bad passions were never more infuriated in one part of the community, nor the kinder and better feelings more sablimed in another. The people *lambi never cease to remember that the just victory which they then achieved, they achieved by union t and that it is nothing but the most thorough and entire co-operation of men of all sects and parties, that ever can enable the best part of the nation to triumph over the worst ; or the upright and patriotic to prevent their degradation by the profligate and corrupt. During the performance of the solemn ceremonial of the 19th, 1 trust that the people will conduct themselves with an order, a forbear ance, and a moderation that will completely falsify the 1 evil forebodings of their enemies. The best friends of liberty are always the most determined opponents of vio lence and confusion. Anarchy can profit none but our enemies. It is their hope, but it is our fear; it is our loss, but it is their gain. " If the enemies of the people are crafty, let the people themselves be wise. Without wisdom, and without virtne, which is a part of wisdom, liberty is but a delu sive show, or an intoxicating sound. While we prefer realities to shadows, let us leave it to our enemies to mistake shadows for realities. The eternity of freedom does not consist in the pageant of a day. " I am deliberately excluded from the Coronation, while some of the satellites of the Holy Alliance are courteously invited to the spectacle: and it is devoutly to be wished that it may teach them more highly to value the rights of nations, and more sincerely to respect the li berties of mankind. The love of the people is the strength of Sovereigns, and the glory of Kings." THE WEI:N.-11er Majesty has received an official letter signed by Lord Sidmonth, with an apology for the mistake of sending a letter without signature or address. Lord flood, it is understood, has written to the Duke of Norfolk, as Earl-Marshal of England, informing him that it is her Majesty's intention to be at Westminster Abbey at half-past eight o'clock on Thursday morning, and requesting him to have persons in attendance to conduct her Majesty to her seat. ifer Majesoy,it is also said, has written a letter to the Arch bishop of Canterbury, in which she informs him of her desire to be crowned some days after the King, and be fore the arrangements are done away with, so that there may be no additional expense. And that the Archbishop in his answer, represents that he cannot stir a step in the ceremony, except in conse 'mentos of 'sellers from the Sovereign. It is stated that her Majesty never thought of going to the banquet in the hall. considering it unbecoming to be present at a mere dining ceremony, while she thought it important not to shrink from the right of participating or witnessing the solemn services of the Coronation in the Abbey. It is added, that her Ma jesty is fully determined to go, and that she is cons- nletely ready in all the necessary points of preparation. The appearance of her Majesty this evening at the English Opera-house, was announced from the stage of that Theatre on Saturday night, and the an nouncement was received with the loudest plaudits from every part of the house, excepting only three youths in the boxes. The youths, however, dill not long continue their noise, being soon reduced to si lence by the gentlemen around them. On enquiring who the rioters were, they were found to be minor clerks in one of the Police-offices. The Queen is said to have taken a bowie in Ureat George -street, Westminster; but whether with the in tention of sleeping there, the night before the Coro nation, or of coming to it, on the day of the ceremony, is not said. That street is within all the barriers.— Few of the houses in it will command a view of the Procession. The substance of the argument in support of her Majesty's right to he present is printed, and will, by her Majesty's express command, be published this day. It is a correct and compressed statement of the whole case, and is well worthy of general perusal.— A note (at p. 24) which we subjoin, is a very curious confirmatiou of an important part of the argument, coining, as so many other helps to the Queen have, from her illustrious parent and friend iiKOROR 111 " The correctness of the statement that Queen Hen.' rietta Maria was not crowned, and the reasons of the omission, are proved by a passage in' Finetti PAiloresson.

The French ambassador declined being a spec- tator at the Coronation,' where the Queen, his master's daughter, erected her presence,' 169. • The Qacen's reason (as it was voyeed) for not being crowned toge ther with the King, was because she could not, (they said), by her religion, be present at our church cereal°. nies, where she most have had divine service celebrated by our bishops, and net by those of her own religion, is erns dettiontletVor her crowning,' 171. This book was presented by his late Majesty to the British Museum." HovEa, JULY 13.—About one o'clock this after. noon the Prince of Saxe 3leiningen, brother to leer Royal Highness the Duchess of Clarence, landed from the Lady Cockburn passage-vessel, Captain Blacknaore, lis3m Calais. About the same time arrived from Boulogne, the Vigilant, Captain Bushell, having on board the Swedish Ambassador and suite. Their Excellencies landed under a salute from the batteries, and repaired to Wrig►ht's Ship Inn, where they were received by a Guard of Honour, and soon afterwards they set of! for the metropolis. Sir Walter Scott, Sir John Oswald, Sir C. M. Lock- hart, Sir James Dahell, General Stirling, Lady Milne, Lady Lockhart, Mrs. 31'Allister, Miss Datia.4l, &c. &c. have arrived from Edinburgh by the City of Edinburgh Steam Packet, after a passage of 611 hours. Tloiliity-third exhibition of the loyal Arademy closed on Saturday last. The money paid at the doors, since its opening► this year, has exceeded that of any fernier by at least oat thousand pounds. _ --- -- Another SeeelPWRI Rarer was on Satttrilar prodnee:l at this Theatre.

Nowa'', Jl'Llr 7.—We now find, upon a very minute inquiry, that we were in error when we stated, on what we deemed unquestionable authority, that 47 yeomen had withdrawn from the corps, sti6cipient to the parade.

The gas first lifted the engine boy off his feet, and blazed at the aperture used to let the air out of the engine. In an ad joining cellar, belonging to John Hamilton, it blew lop the flags and roused the people from their beds, nisi. they ran out of the house. The explosions and were repeated three times, and it was not till the' pre- - cure of gas was taken off at the works, that the explo sions were discontinued. CONN.
