His Majesty arrived here at four o'clock. and proceeded immediately to the house of General Thielmann. the Commandant, where apartments were provided for his reception. On the preceding day Isis Majesty, when he had got toWetzlar. invited the General to dine with him and so pleased was he with his conduct, that he presented him with a valuable ring, and gave him a letter to the King of Prussia, recommending him in earnest terms to the consideration of that Monarch. However strong the differences are which exist at present between the Courts of London and Berlin upon. a great political question, they have not prevented his Prussian Majesty from paying every poisible attention to our Sovereign.

His Prussian Majesty's Rhenish subjeCts are not of the same opinion with the Duke upon the subject of gratitude. COLOGNE, NOVEMBZR 3. Three o'Clork, p. m.—Tlie King has this moment come in, and was received by the Civil and Mili tary Authorities at the hotel which hut been hired ' . for his accommodation. The expected interview between h►im rod the King of Prussia does is.,t take place, and the reason surmised is, that Frederick William is afraid, at so critical a juncture, of giv ing offence to the Emperor of Route, by meeting iu a cordial manner a Sovereign whose politics are not in accordance with his own. If his health should not suffer by over-exertion, his Majesty is determined to goon to Landon, without stopping a single day on the road. Niue o'Cloek at Aight.—His Majesty was received . here with the mule honours as in the other parts of the Prussian dominions through which he passed. The baud is now playing national and patriotic airs opposite his Majesty's hotel, and the inhabitants are greeting him with loud cheers. His Majesty has had several persons of the highest distiuction to dine with him, and when ‘, God save the King" was sung, he joined hi the chorus, substituting the name " Fre+lei•iek" for George. This, though it might he expected from the well.known courtesy of our Sovereign, i 4 still a proof of his personal regard for the King of Prussia. BRUSSEI.I, NOVEMBER 4.

LON DON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1811. THE KING'S ARRIVAL. We have the pleasure to aunotince the KING'S safe return. flip MAJESTY and suite arrived in Calais a little before StWell o'clock on Wednesday evening, and proceeded to Ktllisik's Hotel, where his MAJesiy was received by his Excellency Sir CHARLES STUART, our Ambassador at tile Court of France, who introduced to the KING several French Noblemen, who h,d the honour of dining with his MAJESTY. The KING gave an audience to the Dike of ANGOULEIIII. His MAJESTY'. royal yacht being in readiness to receive him, the KING determined on sleeping on board, and about ten o'clock entered the royal yacht; rite set sail with all possible speed soon after. Between two and three o'clock she cast anchor in the Downs, and at eight o'clock yesterday morning site weighed anchor and sailed. About half-past nine o'clock, being off Ramsgate harbour, and the wind favourable, his MAJESTY went on shore there. His MAJESTY was received with every demonstration of respect and joy which the short notice of the honour of his presence would admit of. Ilia MAJESTY left Ramsgate as soon as his fo reign travelling carriage could he got ready for his departure, and proceeded on his way to London; through every town that he passed he was received by all ranks with acclamations and other marks of attachment. An out-rider arrived at the King's Palace, in Pall-mall, about five minutes before Nix o'clock yesterday evening, announaing the KING'. near approach and expected arrival in less than a quarter of an hour. At five minutes past six his MAJESTY entered the Palace-yard, accompanied by the Marquis of CONYNGUAM and Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD. We have great satisfaction in saying that his MAJESTY bore his journey without fatigue, and was in the hill enjoyment of excellent health, was ex. iremely cheerful, and conversed most affably with the Gentlemen iu waiting to receive him. The detachments of the royal horse guards on duty at the Iloise Guards were drawn out, dis. mounted, to receive the KING, their trumpeter SOandilig a salute. About a quarter of an hour after his MAJESTY'S arrival the cannon iu St. James's Park discharged a double royal salute, which attracted great num bers of persons to cutter the Park by all the gates, expecting the gratification of seeing the KING, in which, however, they were di►uppoiuted.

Lots MATott's Day —Holiday at the Daak, East ladia and Suutla Sea Houses. our deepest sympathy, but to awaken some serious apprehensions. Accustomed as we have uniformly been in this country to a state of comparative security, dreading neither a musket-shot from be hind a hedge as we walk the high roads in the day time, nor a visit iu the night from • desperate gang of armed ruffians, we feel a kind of instinctive horror when we read in the accounts from the south of Ireland that such outrages are there of constant occurrence, and we wonder at the inefficiency of the ordinary authorities, which cannot prevent or punish such atrocious offences. To those, however, who have remarked the im mense military force which has been poured into the scenes of disturbances, the Governineitt of Ireland must appear to be possessed of great ucti vity and energy, and many will think that in em ploying all abundance of swords, mu.kets, and cannons, the Government has dour every thing that can be effected by wisdom and power. In noticing this circumstance some short time since, we took the liberty of expressing our apprehensions that swords, muskets, and cannons, though useful on proper occasions, as auxiliaries to the civil power, would not by themselves be productive of ranch good in restoring the system of society in the dis turbed districts to its proper tone ; and we lament to find that the experience of their efficacy hitherto has not tended to remove. our fears. The accounts from the south of Ireland still exhibit offences dif fering only in the increased fearlessness of the per petrators from those which had caused the employ ment of so large a force, and we find obnoxious in dividuals attacked, and houses robbed of fire-arms— one being plundered even in the noon-day—almost within musket-shot of military parties. The only instance of skill ever displayed in the governing of Ireland was the adaptation of the barbarous principle " divide et impera" to the con cerns of that unfortunate country. With this prin ciple, however, was uniformly united the clumsy expedient of employing force in every emergency ; and as tranquillity only was sought for, it mattered not to the rulers of Ireland whether it was the re sult of terror, or arose from a reciprocity of kindly feelings between the Government and the people. Ireland has always been ruled by force, no deli cacy has ever been displayed in moulding the feelings or correcting the habits of the lower classes of the people: uo nearer sympathy has ever been evinced for their wishes and their prejudices than if they were formed of the same materials as the cattle of their fields ; they have been goaded and spurred to labour with the most cruel indifference; their health and resources have been alike exhaust ed to gratify the rapacity of those above them ; those who ought to cherish them, even for their own advantage, have almost uniformly oppressed them; their landlords have been their worst enemies; and if being plundered, insulted, and almost starved— if seeing their families famished with want and driven as beggars throughout the country, they should ever dare to express their indignation, what expedient is more obvious for restoring tranquil lity than to employ troops aiiB hangmen in teach ing the rioters the consequences of disobedience It has always been a great misfortune to Ireland that she has been governed, not by the Cabinet of England, but by some retainers of the Cabinet, who are not yet qualified to take a seat among their patrons. Ireland has been generally looked upon as a " nursery for young statesmen," or as a con• venient place for accommodating old ones who have been found of little value elsewhere. To this, how ever, there have been and are some splendid ex ceptions. It is there, however, that in general the future hopes of our Cabinet are first employed as a kind of preparation fur the more arduous duties of swaying the destinies of the whole empire, and it therefore cannot be A matter of surprise that in the government of that unfortunine country we should eternally see the first principlist of policy grossly abused, the best interests of the country sacrificed, through rashness or ignorance, and passion usurp ing the place of wisdom. The whole system of the Irish Government, the pageant of .the Vice-Royalty, the ostentatious magnificence of the Castle, and the long train of its official dignitivies, form one splendid nuisance, holding out to the va nity of the Irish people, or rather to that of the in habitants of the city of Dublin, the semblance of national dignity, but oppressing them, in fact, with the practical vices of an inexperienced Government, and the burden of an expensive mass of State lum ber. The condition of Ireland must undoubtedly call the attention of Parliament in the ensuing Ses sion, but we trust that, in the mean time, the KING. on his happy return to his native dominions, will prove the sincerity of his professious of affec tion and love for the people of that country, by causing his Ministers here to take its general con dition into their serious consideration. This if especially due to the people of Ireland, as one of those circumstances in its present aspect which are most calculated to excite apprehension for the future, bears an 'immediate reference to the mime of his MAJESTY'S tyCeuT visit to that eooolty. its StunTt's earnest request to the people was, that they thould eudeatour to forget *a crib of centuries, and to bury Uie memory of their former dissentious. Thieethortation was sop. posed to be addressed tit that class of the people of most cause to relhember past evils, and to mourn over the continuance of existing disabilities. The Roman Catholics of Ire!arid have obeyed the last wishes of their KING, but it remained for those who him always presumed to call themselves each'. 'sleety loyal—for those who have long enjoyed • triumphant superiority over their fellow-subjects, to disregard their Sovereign's solemn injunction. 'lnd to insult him by a studied contempt of his royal will. Instead of striving to bury the memory of former animosities, the exclusively loyal, the Orangemen of Ireland, have ostentatiously laboured to renew dissentious with all their worst and darkest passions. The thing done—the dressing of a statue in a particular dress is in itself nothing, neither is there in the toasting of King WILLIAM'S memory any thing which, properly speaking, ought to be offensive to either a Catholic or a •Pro intent subject of the House of Brunswick. But %hat sensitive mind ever thought of esti mating an insult by any other criterion thau l the manifest disposition of the person who offers:, it ? The inteution is too manifest of placing cer-n lain ornaments on certain days upon the statue' of King Wit.ttan, and no less obvious is the purpose of drinking the memory of the sortie ex cellent Monarch. Both are dune to insult the ea. tholics, to excite angry feelings in their breasts, and to drive them so to express their indignation at the outrage offered to their religious principles, and at the implied calumny flung upon their loyalty, as might justify the insulting party in dis playing the supposed superiority of their strength. We lament to find that attempts are beginning to be mode to introduces similar spirit into this coun try. No time ought to be lust in suppressing it. - A Dutch Mail arrived last night, with papers to the 7th iustaot. The following are extracts:— ROTTERDAM, Novemage Q.

SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES GENERAL. The preliminary business of the Assembly hissing been gone through, and several petitions receaverl, the Minister of Finance was introduced by the Committee nominated for the purpose, and present ed in the name of his Majesty two projects of law. which he explained in a speech in the Dutch lan guage. The first project contained the budget of the extraordinary expenses for the year 1822, which are fixed at the sum of 18,688,856 florins, 'being 2,387,677 florins below the estimate of the same expenses for the year 1821. His Excellency did not fail to draw the atten tion of the Chamber to this important reduction ; he likewise observed, that the amount of the extra ordinary receipts was estimated at a sum 'moil.. mating to that fixed for the disbursements, that thus, as his Majesty had said on opening the Session, there was a just proportion between the receipt and the expenditure, and that it was not necessary to have recourse to any extraordinary means. Lastly, his Excellency gave hopes of the speedy issue of a new coinage, which was now executing with great activity both at Utrecht and Brussels. His Excellency also presented on account of the receipt and expenditure of the year 1820, and pre ceding years. To cover unforeseen expenses for the year 1822. it is proposed to place a minima of florins at his Majesty's disposal. ' Spanish and flemburgh Papers have arrived. The following are extracts :—.
