[SETILACT Or A MUTAT, LITTER.] 'I Varmint reports have hero in circulation the whole of this day respecting the arrival of our most gracious Sovereign. Some stated that the royal squadron wan seen in the offing, while others insisted it had passed by in the night ; but the more intelli gent were satisfied that neither of these rumours • could he correct; for, supposing the flotilla to have left its moorings on Wednesday, from the adversity of the winds, the &duvets of the nights. and the haziness of the weather, it was impossible it could have reached this port this early Under such • eombination of untoward circumstances. the probe. Witty sr, that the King is still hovering about Cowes. as it is by no watts likely that his Majesty would make a beating passage down the Channel. Indeed, the humidity of the atmosphere seems to have cast somewhat of a damp upon the ardour of ex pectin iota. °Mr. Whitby, the engineer, of the Breakwater, hoboes indefatigable iii his efforts to render the edifice as worthy of the King's inspection as cur cuastitsueta would allow. All hands connected with this grand national undertaking, under the immediate superintendence of Mr. Corbin, have been in a state of requisition from four in the moron', till eight at night. Four six pounders on earriuges. with artillerymen. end eighty-four rounds of cartridge, are planted on the work to salute his Majesty on ascending it. C The Pigmy schooner is upon the 100k -out, to covey the earliest intelligence of the appearance of the royal squadron." sATURDAY. " The wind has now got to the southward and eastward. which is tolerably fair fur the approach of the King.

Every preparation lies been made, both in the Garrison and Dock-yard. for the reception of our beloved Sovereign, should lie be pleased to roofer on us the honour of his august presence. If circumstances shall prevent his putting in now, or if he shall have proceeded to Holyhead by land, lie will be looked for with confidence on his return. 'the General and the Post-Admiral have resumed their commands ; but neither the Earl of the Mount, nor of Saltram. east and west of the Sound, is at his mansion, wheeice it is conjectured that the Monarch is not expected to came ashore. The Doris frigate, for South America, arrived this morning Irom Spitheall, and has outclassed within the breakwater.

J. W. Weston, Esq.

The party were most graciously received. It is reported that William Young, Esq. (through the Mayor) offered his Majesty the use of hid 11111111i00,_ in which our late beloved Monarch and Royal Family resided. A boat's crew from the royal yacht came ashore for provisions.

Covered in the of f ing, and every heart beat high with the hope that Torbay was its destination ; for the squadron that hove in sight was that which con veyed the Monarch of this empire to the land of Erin. Our loyal expectations were, however, dis appointed ; but we still expect that our gracious King will honour his faithful subjects in this county by a visit to Plymouth. 15U111.1ts, AUGUST S. Wednesday there was another field-day, and a sham battle in the Phenix Perk. preparatory to the grand review which will take place during hie Majesty'd visit to this country.

Infantry-23d faileers, 33d regi. merit, 43d light infantry regiment, 32,1 ditto, 78th Highland regiment, and the royal artillery. The Commander of the forces appeared as if in presence of his Majesty, at the held of the troops; there were also present Generals Lord Aylmer. Sir C. Grant, Sir G. Airev, Wolfe, &c.; Lords Kilmaine and Blaney were also on the ground. General Sir Benjamin Blomefield appeared at the close of the day in plain clothes. The whole expense of the outfit for his Majesty's reception at the Castle and Park Lodge is to be defrayed out of his Majesty's privy purse.

Yesterday • meeting of the churchwardens. liongeholders. &c. of the city, took place in the Royal Exchange. pursuant to public notice ; Mr. Aldere•s• SMYTH is the Chair. Counsellor Walker begged lea►e briefly to state, thst••u Address of in►itation to his Majewly hosing bees formerly transmitted to London from this body7and that fortunately being the first one on the subject, it wrs thought necea►ary to follow it up by voting an humble Address of Thanks on his ex. peeled suspicious arrival in this country. The Address was then read, and • Committee of seven appointed to forthwith consider and report on st. Mr. O'Gorman thought a short delay for con• sideratioo necessary. Sir Edward Stanley thought delibration ex tremely necessary, and would support the motion of .Jr. O'Gorman to still • greater length than it went. United as citizens (as he trusted in heaven we now all were), it was proposed by u general procession, or some such murk of public respect, to evince our attachment to his Majesty's person immediately on his lauding in this country. But it was hitherto impos sible to say, whether this was to be dune by a cavalcade tinder the orders of the Lord Lieutenant, or merely as acting as a private body, until the publication of the Dabli■ Gazelle this day. Ooe thing was certain, that they could not, under what ever arrangement, pay his Majesty a higher com pliment than by appearing in the manufacture of the country, entirely divested of all party distinc tions. He should, therefore, propose that the Com mittee do report on the Address on Saturday next. Mr. O'Connell agreed entirely in the proposition of Sir Edward Stanley. As to one of the proposi tions of the worthy Knight, he trusted" there would be no difference of opinion—he alluded to the wearing of Irish manufacture. For him self lie could safely declare, that for the last I I years he had worn no other, and it would be his last wish to be buried in it. A blue coat, buff vest, awl white pantaloons were the prevailing prepant lions, and with these distinctions and wands in their hands, he trusted every thing at the glorious meeting would be conducted in the most orderly inmost r. ..... _ Sir Edward Stanley, after making some remarks as to uniformity or dress, &c. produced a beautiful light blue silk sash, with which he invested Mr. 111‘Gorman, and taking him warmly by the hand, wished that that might be considered a symbol of a a ill further union between all parties in this country. Mr. O'Gorman briefly returned thanks. The Resolutions being unanicnomily agreed to, and a Cornmitte appointed, the Meeting adjourned till four this day. TEM O'CLOCK, a. m.

COMPETITION OF PIPERS. AUGUST 3. The Annual Competition for Prises given by the Highland Society of London to the live best per formers on the. ireat Hikhltlnd Bagpipe, was held in the Theatre Royal here on Tuesday lest. The following members of the Highland Society of Scotland were Judges at this competition, viz.— Lord Viscount Arbuilmot, Liesiteimat-Geseral the Hots. A. Duff, G. M•Pheratio Grant, Esq. of Rallied&Ruch and Imremold, M.P.; Colonel Williamson, of Marlefield ; Gilbert loots, E 4. of Stow ' • AreMbsld Campbell, Esq. of Melfort ; J. Graben Dalyell, Req.

M e ed noe ld, late 9 2J regiment; and Captain G. Macdonald, late Royal Stmts. The competition was advertised to commence at twelve o'clock at won, and precisely at that hour the Judges entered the box. The curtain was im mediately riti.ed, and the numerous and fashionable company assembled had an opportunity of seeing that no fewer then iffty.fico Highlanders, pipers and danced, had come forward to this competition appropriately dressed in their native costume. They were formed in regular order round the stage, sad remained so until after the first tune had been played upon the Prize Pipe, with which the per. formatted began. The effect of the premiums which have of late years been given for dress was particularly conspicuous at this time, when all the competitors were thus assembled, each handsomely equipped in the appropriate tartan of his chief or clan. The variety of pattern in the particuliar dresses, and general uniformity of the whole cos tume, had a very pleasing effect. The competition continued till after three o'clock. When the last competitor had done playing the Judges retired to determine the prizes. They re mained in deliberation a considerubie time, end upon their return, the whole competitors were again called upon the stage, and the decision of the prizes was announced by Lord Arbuthnot, Presses of the Committee, as follows :-.. The lit Prise—A handsome Pipe, of superior tone soil workmanship, ornamented with a flag bearing the national emblem of the Thistle, sad a silver plate, upon which a suitable inacriptiou has since bees eag►aved, with forty (vats in nioney, was adjodsed to Adam Grabs., Isla Piper-major to the Roawabire Militia, now Piper to the Caithness Meeting, who bad formerly gained t h e second and subordinate Prises. The MI Prize—To Donald Mackay, piper to R. G. Mac donald, Esq. of CI Id. The 3d— ro John Mackenzie, piper to Mr. Davidson of Tollich 7 _ _ The 4th—To John Cameros), piper to the Sish Lanarkshire Local Militia; and The blh—To Doaald Macdonald, son of Donald Mac donald, pipe -maker, Edinburgh. By the liberality of Mrs. H. siddons in declining any allowance for the use of the Theatre, a very elegant and superbly mounted Highland dirk was placed at the disposal of the Committee, as an ex tra prize. This prize, the Preset; stated, was UPI'. ally given to candidates who had previously gained the second prize. and coeld now compete only for the first; that the performer who, in the opinion of the Committee, merited it on the present occa sion, was Duncan M'Tsvish, Piper-major to the 4211 regiment, to whom it was voted accordingly. Before announcing the decision of the prizes for dress, the Proses mentioned that the Judges were anxious to encourage the ancient Highland dress in its native simplicity. and were of opinion that its peculiar elegance and gracefulness were not improv ed by lace, or superfluous o►nament. The Committee had oce:tsioi► particularly to re mark the great improvement lately made by the performers in consequence of these compet.tions. From the number of excellent pipers who came for ward this year, the Judges had the greatest diffi culty in dete►mining the prizes ; and in delivering the second prize to Donald Mackay, Lord Arbuth not bestowed high commendation on his perform ance. The whole of the fighting men who officiated in keeping order during and after the coronation cere monies ►n Westminster Hall, had a dinner given to them yesterday at the champion Cams's, as a mark of their steady conduct when on duty. There was no lack of good things, and the ntilkrs were in rare order to do justice to the feast. The boxing match between Cooper, the Gipsy, end O'Leary, will take place this day eighteen miles from London. A gallant fight is expected, and betting is eveu. Eleven men belonging to the East Devon Militia, did not attend the late training, and ■re therefore declared deserters. Four of them have been taken and lodged in gaol. The prisoners confined in the various prisons in the vicinity of London, at the suit of the Crown, and who are to be discharged by an Act of Grace, received the pleasing intelligence ou Thursday, sod drank his MAJWITY'S health with three times three.
