Extract of a letter from Calais, Sept. lils jesty"Ring George the Fourth landed here yroterdby Aerosols, as four o'clock, having been conveyed from the Royal yacht to the harbour in a French pikft'boat. His Majesty proceeded immediately to Denies Hotel,, whese he dined. In the evesiag, his Majesty beamed. the Theatre with his presence, and was greeted with the most testy applause by the whole of the audience. At • Shont eight o'clock this morning his Majesty left us, etprossing his particular satisfaction at the mosso- Jades and includes belied:received at Dessin's which Mr. Curtis was commanded to communicate to the proprietor. Extract otinother letter from Calais, Wednesday mooning :—The event foe which I prepared yea in my last has come to pram.. Oer good and gracious Ring, • afttr a favourable .passage from Ramsgate, came to anchor with his squadron in these roads yesterday after noon, and immediately peopled to make his entry into Valais in a way suitable to his estate as SIM,. and his dignity as the bead of a free, brave, nod generous people. .—Nothiag was wanted on the part' of the Government • tad honour to the King, consistent With his travelling ' as a Nobleman, and the people toolithe.opportunity by • their cheers, of letting the English know ,that they' wistied to be on better teeth' with them. Th is feeling 'is said to be produced by ionic recent political move mints. Whatever was the Cause, the English toot it in '1 good part. and his Majesty's landing was greeted by a ' respectful and affectionate welcome. It was three o'clock • before the Royal squadron came to it, moorings, and the tide being thee .at low water-mark, some more time elapsed before the ar rangements were completed for putting his Majesty en shore. We bad bad the ships in view for about two hones before, an interval of time that was most busily employed in making preparations at Calais for receiv ing him. Almost up to the last moment there seemed to prevail the greatest uncertainty as to his destine- Coe. More than one false alarm of his coming was .given in the course of Monday, and in the afternoon of that day, when it was ascertained that the Duke of Wellington and Lord Londonderry bad gone on to St. Ower's, we took it for granted that he was going to Ostend, and that they were to meet him at Brussels. 'fhe Authorities here, the same evening, it seems, 're ceired another account, and acting upon it, sent the troops to Boulogne. These troops returned yesterday nurroiag, eery much harrassed with the march. We gave over speculating after the troops were sent en Monday evening, and some preparations for his land ing, which had been making, were discontinued. The arrival of the Duke of Chartres, however, early on Tuesday morning, set all things going again. From that moment the preparations were resumed with re need vigour. They received another stimulus by the arrival of Sir Benjamin Bloomfiehl- with the King's carriages, who came in the Venus steam-boat at eight o'clock. Sir Benjamin announced that his Majesty might be expected by two o'clock, and as we could hear the guns firing a salute from the English coast ah4nt nine, it was supposed that he *as then getting ender way. His Majesty, however, as I afterwards learned, did not get under way pile so In thee-meantime the whole town was in the Emit. tit • bindle. The people were ertmedhig to *11! pier, where the number of English seemed .nwrii than equal to that of the French. Every • se cord face you met was an English one. Milky was beautifully fine, and a steady wind blowing from the direction of Ramsgate, every eye was turned that way. At twelve. all the troops here, consisting of tile' 2d re giment of the line, commanded by the Duke of Sevres, and the National Guard of Calais, were drawn out. • Guard of Honour was placed at Dessie's Head, the main body marched with their colours lying and baud piaying to occupy the pier opposite the place where the King was expected to land, and the remainder of the troops were stationed in the Grand Place. The joy bells were then set ringing, the standard of France was hoisted from the ['Sete Neufe, and every vessel in the harbour displayed her flag. A few minute-guns were fired from the citadel. All this time the Royal egandron was in view, but it seemed to make rather slaw progress. New arrangements were adopted es it approached nearer the harbour. The way from the pier to Dessio's Hotel being covered with fine gravel. the troops were so disposed as completely to line all the streets through which his Majesty was to pass. The Date of Chartres, wearing several orders, but not deemed in uniform, together with the Mayor of Calais, the teninsissary of Marine, and the General of the Di visiee. then went (lowa to the water's edge to receive him, and pay him their respects on his setting feet on h'resch soil. The Penes steam-boat, which_ had come in from Ramsgate in the morning, put out to sea with the British Consul on heard. Every thing was dis posed for his immediate reception, and the mood of the squadron's coming to its moorings was expected with great impatience. The ivied had cWeppsil about f ► tittle, and the vessels subbed tik labour a giied deal before they let ge their anchors. • His Majesty's ship came-to outside Thecpier soots after three *Week. and it about a quarter of an hour after, a small best being lowered, he got into it, and was . towed along the pier by a party of English seamen. who gladly ;seised this opportunity of testifying their attachment to their Sovereign. lie was accom panied by a host of •td-de-Camps. and appeared in the best health and spirits. Etiquette required that' the military honours should sot be paid him until he set ids &otos French soil ; and his descending from • Lie yacht into ,the boat was therefore unnoticed by 'sty ether eireatstance than the acclamations which burst from the =sidled* who witnessed it froai s lhe pier. His Majesty landed at the new flight of steps which have boa made eppolte - t ha Moak of Louis Xi Eft ., and was there received bt the Duke of Char.' tree and she Mayor .*ad Antholtio Rf palais.

Upon arriving a* 4V-11er; a close ferriese of the Duke of Chartres was is snit leg, and his Majesty got into it. The Dube., of Chartres, Sir 'George Wood, and Sir Benjamin Bloom -kid, were in the carriage with-his 11Weett. HieAld lie-Cimp rode on the outside. A procesaioa was then formed, beaded by the %yet: and Authorities of Calais, and his Metesty passed between the ales of military trom the pier Through the Porte Nenf, Rio di Havre, Ise Grand Place, and Rut Royale, to Dessta's Hotel, where the standard of England was flying frons.the balcony. The shoats which accompanied -hie; progress, con vinced him that in a strange land he had still teeny well-wishers. I should , observe that .the bells played " Goo save the King." His Majesty Biped at Dsesia's, and in the evening west to the Theatre... - 04-Goo save the King" was played thrice during the performance, with " Henri Quatre", and " Patrick's Day." A guard of honour remain outside Dessia's, which was, last night illuminated. His 5l ajesty waviopdly cheered , on his way from the Theatre. He deplete this day for Cassel. Prince Esterhazy, who arrived before him, yesterday took the road to Paris. Extract of a letter from Dover, Sept. 26 Beo• jamin Bloomfield left Calais last night for Hanover, and, the King left Calais this morning, at nine o'clock, for Brussels, vie St. Omer's, escorted by rMarty of gfoe. &arises. His'Majesty was mucli - pleasid, wick the atiaa.- ner in which he was received. He desired two bottles of wine to be given to each soldier,; but the Colonel said balfa one would be sufficient, u he was fearful they would not be able to.do duty to day. - Another Letter same date :—The stemmingt that ac companied the royal yacht, by some accident ran foal of it, and injured the barge that was to hate landed his Majesty. One of the French pilot boats was in conse quence immediately manned, and bad the hohour of carrying him on shore. The water was so low, 'it was found necessary to lighten her by throwing the ballast overboard, to enable her to pass the bar. The Duke de la Chartres, and Count Jumilline, the Governor of -the Department, were sent to meet him, at the water side. They sat down thirteen to dinner, inducting the Com manding Officer of the Legion, whom be invited. The whole guard dined at his Majesty's expense, and six hundred bottles of wine were drank. After ainner, he went to the play, where we saw him, looking particu larly well, and pleased. He was received with great applause, and his affability and good French delighted all around him. This morning about eight he left Calais in a travelling carriage, in which were 'Lord Co nyngham, and Sir Wm. Knighton, followed by *nether with Lord F. Conyngham and Sir Edmund Nagle. A third, with servants, and a caravan for baggage, com posed his suite. He proceeds to Lisle, and froni , thence to Brussels.

Wits polities are made a trade of, there is no tours, too filthy, an quagmire too deep for the political adventurer. His object is profit ; be cares little how he obtain it ; he is any man's masse long as be is paid, and always at the service of those who pay hiss best• He is a Whig to-day, a Tory tomorrow. His best friend ie oa sale, and himself the damaged lot, the temporary property of the highest bidder. The ties of friendship held no charm. and like a Royal Undertaker, "be says he'll , do his duty with firmness;" bravo ! We ask oar reader's pardon fur introducing the word bravo, as its might be considered a takes of approbation. A bravo, no doubt, would be more is character, as the hireling assassins in the South of Europe ate called Bravoes. Still, political infamy, notorious inde cency, or the assassination of private character, is no bar to preferment, power and profit. It may be asked, how can public demoralisation take place under the guardianship of men, the most moral, most religions ? Aye, there's the rub. Our answer is, political and common morality differ as much as po • - ' litical and real religion. Both the Jewish and Christian, Religion hold the same Conintandments as the moral guide of conduct; yet we find them but t feather in the scale of political calculation; and while a tenth part of the riches of the country is employed to propa gate the Christian Ilteligioa, double the sum is spent in counteracting it. If rewards are held out, spies and informers paid, an inquisition erected above the law, and hackney scribes paid to abase and insult a peo ple overloaded with taxes, no longer can a man boast of " his house being his castle ;" .or " the law his protection," while pauperism stares him in the face, oppression marches i■ the rear ; his energies become crippled ; and his last resource is emigration or the workhouse. , Speculation in the Corn Trade appears to have sub. sided. The accounts of the harvest received from Scotland and Ireland, as well as from the corn dis tricts nearer the metropolis, are on the whole much more favourable than, considering the variable wea ther, we had reason to expect. If there be not, as some people have apprehended, an average crop in England, in Scotland there is no cause for general complaint concerning it ; and in Ireland, it is affirmed, it will exceed the last year's. In that country, it is asserted there is a greater breadth of land under corn than the preceding year, and in England, notwith standing the distress of the farmers, it is believed that they have also cultivated more ; it is calculated so that the extent of the cultivation will cover the partial deficiency, and compensate for the injuries the grain may receive from the weather. What has been the extent •f that infary, it may be rash, at present, to estimate. In a eflison like the pre sent, however, it is more probable the judgment may rbe Waled by appsohaaiiaa than bg lope. I)esides, the proneness of the human mind to view things in a gloomy light, it is the Interest of numerous individuals to propagate alarm. Nothing, however, is more falla cious than to calculate upon a bad return on the whole, in consequence of bad weather at the beginning of the harvest. When an experienced agriculturalist was asked before the late Agricultural Committee of Parliament, as to the average crop, and the proper time of calculating it, he replied, that the proper time was after the harvest was get in. In nine times of tea, this gentleman said, the result would be found M disappoint the apprehensions of the husbandman as well as the calculations of the speculator. To see the unrsalbnablenees of the spirit of speculation, we need oaly remark the wa ) in which it operates. As soon, as it is set in motion in the Corn trade, it becomes to move in other utiles of provision ; but, It is curious to observe, that while it raises the price of grain, seder pretence of the damage the crops receive from rain, it advances the price of butter, the prodection of which must be promoted by wet weather. In the article of butter we are assured there is so great an abundance, both in England and Ire land, that the dairy farmers are afraid of eventually such a fall of price, as cannot remunerate them, while at present it has hoes raised by unwarrantable spec* Won to an exorbitant rate.

I feel it my duty helot* I conclude' this report, to give some general understanding of what the Slave Trade really is at present; and I humbly hope I shall the more readily be excused this, as the naval force of his Majesty, which' their Lordships have been pleased to place under my command, is fitted expressly for the object of suppressing this detestable traffic, naglaad, certainly, the whole world mast acknowlege, has most faithfally abandoned the trade. America may be considered next in good Jumada ; stillber ones sates are net yet complete, and American vessels, American subjects and Americas capital are navies desably engaged in the trade, though under ether ciphers sad it disguise. Spain, by her decree, is con sommes of her segigensent whit *eat &hale, has relialeishod thettade, but her colonies still carry il l mean defiance of these eagagements.

Under this security, Frame Is grossing nearly the whole of the Slave Trade, she hal extended this trade beyond what can be , posed. In truth. France now supplies the fortis.' lonise, north of the Line, with Africans. Ido net aggerate in saying. that 30 vessels t bearing the louts of France, have, nearly at the same time, within two or three leagues of distance, been employed in slaving, without my daring to offer interruption. I was induced, under Some circumstances, to doj o vessels bearing the French leg, II the hope of cheek. ing the bold and frequent outrages committed by French on our own Mast. I will add, that within' last 12 months, not less than 60,000 Africans • beet) forced from their country, principally eider colours of France, anti distributed between the Woo of Martinique, Guadeloupe and Cuba.
