Hie Majesty left Dalkeith yesterday a little after. eleven, in a plain travelling carriage, end attended •by his retinae. He was guarded by Out escort of the Scotch Greys, and the streets of Edinburgh, and part of the road alooK which be had to pass, were guarded by plequets and patrols of horsemen. As his passage through the city was not certain, there was no turning out of the authorities to meet him, nor were there many of the people in the streets. The morning too was most unpropitious, as it rained heavily. He passed along Nicoloon street, the South and North Bridges, and Prince's street, at a rapid rate, arriving in the latter exactly et 12, aid as he passed under the Castle the guns fired a royal salute. It had been said that he would helt at Ravelvtone, the seat of the Knight Marischal, but that he did not do. The gate of Rseelstone was, however, very tastefully decorated with flowers, and Ins Majesty nodded approbation as he passed. At Davidsou's Mains a relay of horses and a change of guards waited his Majesty, with which he pro ceeded. A hoe of carriages, filled with genteel company, extended a great poet of the way to Queensferry. At Cramond-bridge Mr. Sheriff Duff attended there, on the confines of his jurisdiction, to take his leave of the royal escort ; and at the same place the Sheriff of the next county (West Lothian) appeared on duty, to offer his Majesty safe conduct within its precincts.

When he came to the Queens. ferry the "thole of the street was decorated with green boughe, and festooning' of brioches and ewers were in MI y places hang across. At this point the country people thronged to see him, the throng increasing as he approached the elegant inausum of the Earl of Hopetoun. He arrived there about one. The spacious lawn in front was filled with his loyal and admiring subjects, for whine accommodation the Earl had broached sun dry butts of honie-brewed October ale. A vast lesenoblage of carriages crowded the Park : to the right the yeomanry paraded to shew themselves sad to keep order, and the noble and gallaot land. land waited at the main entrance to receive hie Arryel *west. When the King arrived he was con. :ducted by the Earl up the spacious staircase lopes proupeting of scarlet, and ushered into the prim.

A number of moot iatereotiog girls, who are educated at the ex pense, and under the immediate inspection of the amiable Countess, were introduced to the King, and met with the most gracious and condescending receptiom When his Majesty had enjoyed his repast, his carnage woo drawn up. the markt cloth, which had been removed on account of the rain, was relaid, and kept down by biers of lead from die Hopetoun mines. The archers re-maentibled from their 4, weapon shawiog," nd posted themselves in double file, in each arch of the staircase. The yeomanry opened a line in front of the mansion, sod gallopped to sod fro to shod their dexterity io the menage ; the piquet of the Greys mounted their well-trained chargers, and the bustle of all announced that the King was soon to make his appearance. The ladies, of whom • conaiderable number were in the Noose, thronged to the windows in the principal front; the leads were crowded with females of an inferior grade, and all were in breathless suspense for the appearance of the Royal person. The King soon appeared, in excellent health and spirits, and habtted in the Windsor uniform. He leaned upon the arm of his landlord, and in that state walked down the step., and entered his carriage, which, preceded and followed by military escorts, instantly drove off at a rapid rate. The people shouted as he passed, and, from the window* of the M 41111014 elegant females, some of them holding by the upper sash. and standing on the other, waved • loud adieu! A new road, laid with gravel, had been made from Hopetoun-gate, super stargine taxi, all the way to Port Edgar Pier. The sinumities of this road were graceful, and the Royal cavalcade, as seen from the house, twined along them in the most rapid and delightful manner. The eyes and glasses of ladies and gentlemen were in requisition from the windows and platform of the house, and the shout ing people followed their King with the homage of their hearts. He left Hopeloon House at a quarter to three, and exactly at three his carriage stopped at Port Edgar. At this place • detachment of the Scotch Greys, who had been stationed there for the purpose, drew up in line to receive his Majesty. On alighting from his carriage, his Majesty was greeted with loud cheers by a vast concourse of people assembled oa the pier head. and he bowed frequently in return while he walked down on a strip of green baize, which extended from the place where his carriage drew up, down to the platform from which he was to embark. Before his Majesty reached the plat form, he was met by one of his earliest friends, Lord Chief Commissioner Adam, whom he addressed in affectionate terms. shaking him at the seine time by both hands. His Majesty did Lord Hopetoun the honour of taking his erns ; and the Duke of Dor set, with some other officers of the household, fol• lowed in attendance on their royal master. Sir Arthur Paget, the Admiral of the royal squadron, stood uncovered at the end of the platform to re. ceive his Majesty, who immediately got into his barge that was to convey him to the yacht. Pre viously, however, his Majesty shook Lord Hope. touo very cordially by the hand, and taking off his travelling cap, bowed to his affectionate subjects in acknowledgment of their continued acclamation.. The Earl of Fife attended his Majesty to the yacht, and had the honour of • seat iasmediately . near him in the barge. The moment his Majesty left the shore, a royal salute was fired, which was answered by salvoes of artillery from all the surrounding hills, the specta. tors still cheering incessantly. Shortly after his Majesty went on board, the royal yacht got under weigh, and bore down fur Leith Roads, towed by the James watt steam-packet, and followed by the whole squadron. At four o'clock precisely the flag-ship stationed io Leith Loads descried the royal squadron advancing, and fired a salute, which was answered by all the other ships, as also by the batteries on shore. Crowds now flocked to the Pier and Sands of Leith, to take a parting view of the royal squadron, and several pleasure-boats put out for the same purpose. The wind being at this time fair, blowing • steady breeze from the north, the royal yachts did not take op moorings in the roadstead, where it was expected his Majesty would peas the night, but stood immediately out for sea. At five another salute was fired, when the royal squadron passed through Leith Road., stand. ing over towards the coast of Fife, to the north side of lnchkeith. At six a third salute was given from all the batteries, announcing that the royal squadron was fairly at sea; and the royal standards, winch had been hoisted on the several hills round the city. were immediately lowered. The wind was as favourable us could possibly be desired, though the atmosphere was darkened with • thick fog and rain. The place which his Majesty had selected for the scene of his embarkation, independent of its notarial grandeur and hearty. possesses many associations that could not prove otherwise than grateful to a royal mind. Queensferry itself derives its name, according to Sir John Sinclair, from Margaret, Queen of Malcolm Caninore, who much frequented the passage, and was the patron of the place. The precise spot at which his Majesty was to embark, Port Edgar, is named slier a Scottish King. who used it as a place of royal embarkation; but it also hears the name of another Prince who was indebted to it for harbourage. We believe that there is woe tradition. which describes him as having embarked at this little port, when flying from the jealousy of William ' but we have not been able to meet with 'it.

The following is an extract from • private letter from Algiers of June 24: On the let of this month the combined Belgic and Spanish squadron arrived in the roads, bringing the Uhintorstme of the Spanish Government, rela tively to the sum which the Regency of Algiers claims from Spain. It also brought orders to the Spanish Conant, immediately to quit Algiers. The Dey, in answer, declared that he would not change ' his resolution, and th■t he would insist, to the last moment, that Spain should pay its debt, which, together with the compound interest, amounts to 1,300,000 Spanish dollars. The Consul desired, in consequence, leave to embark with his suite, which was positively refused him. The squadron having withdrawn fora time, appeared 'gain in the Bay on the 6th. The Spanish Consul then desired leave to go on board the Admiral's ship, in order to have a conference with the Commander-in-Chief, which was granted him, and it was the Captain of the Port himself who was charged with the office of taking him on board in an Algerine boat. Two boats lent from the Admiral's ship having approached that which the Consul was, be leaped into one of them ? before his conductor had time to hinder it; when ha .sad thus escaped, Abe squadron mailed and withdrew. This madden departure of the Consul caused great LOIDON. TUESDAY, S, Riess 3, Isee. Earl BATIDEST sailed on Saturday from Dover for Calais. The Duke Of WELLINGTON, con trary to general rumour, remains at home, and attended yesterday at his . office in the Ordnance. A presumption thence arises that the Noble Earl is destined to supply the place of the late Marquis of LONDONDERRY at Congress. A farewell dinner was given to Mr. CANNING by his friends and constituents at Liverpool on Friday last, a full report of which will be found in another part of our Paper. The speech delivered by the Right Hun. Gentleman on this occasion was in his best and happiest style. It seems to have been in tended to convey an apology or explanation of the principles that have marked his political career, but beyond this it may be received us a fair spe cimen of the character of his mind and of his pe culiar talents as au orator, for it is eminently dis tinguished by the playful elegance of expression and felicity of illustration that bare established his celebrity as a public speaker. In this speech Mr. CANNING has alluded more distinctly than at the former dinner to the stale of public affairs, and to the rumours which would assign to him a seat in the Cabinet as the successor of the Marquis of LONDONDIRRY. Upon this point the Right Hon. Gentleman affected to be exceedingly explicit, but with respect to the ar rangement of office he professed to be wholly un informed, and his personal wishes he most dutifully referred to the decision of the KING and Cabinet. His words, however, as they are reported, are de serving of particular notice— " It is not for me to presume that I should be in any de gree concerned is inch arraagements, nor to do any thing which should appear to imply such a presumption. I have, therefore, neither proposed to defer this meeting with my coestituents, filed, as you know, many months ago ; wor have I suspended utypreparattous for departure ; nor have I stay ground, beyond those which lie open in common to me and to all the world, for apprehending that that departure is likely to be intercepted. It will not be expected of me that I should say easy thing of what might, Is a contrary suppositios, be the decision which It would become use to form. I can only declare, with the most perfect sincerity, that such a decision would be formed by me opon an honest and impartial review of milk considerations abate, and would be determined, nee by a calm/allow rimy in terests, but upon a below, of us, duties." It is not very difficult to collect from this passage in Mr. CANNING's speech, that although he has not hitherto "suspended his preparations for depar ture," to India, he yet would not absolutely reject a proposition which might offer to him the oppor tunity of holding the seals of the Foreign Office, accompanied by the proud glories of parliamentary triumphs. if the alternative of oriental dignity on the one hand, and of office at home on the other, were sub. mitted to him, we cannot doubt, as he takes the trouble to aumre us, that his " decision would be formed upon an honest and impartial review of publieconsiderations" alone, sod that he would be de termined not by any thing so contemptible us consi deration of his personal " interests"—" but upon a balance of his duties ;" but we should not think him very censurable if his judgment were eventually to decide that the welfare of his country would be better promoted by his remaining in England, and assisting the Council by his wisdom, than if he were to cross the seas for the Purpose of controlling the destinies of our Indian empire. We strongly sus pect that the whisperings of early ambition would prompt Mr. CANNING to accept the high distiac. Lion of being the Chief Secretary for Foreign Af fairs, to which, undoubtedly, his talents entitle him far beyond any individual of the same party, but will not speak plainly upon so delicate a topic ; and while he complains in one part of his speech that his silence at the former dinner was misconstrued, as if he ostentatiously abjured office at home," he expresses • hope in another • ....- # tr4* they not be considered, in Consequ ence - • -Inid fallen from him on this occasion, ss elfpreasins an anxiety fir a seat io the Cabioet.— We are 1101 aware that any coostruction had been put upon the silence or the words of Mr. CAN. lento, such as he seems to have apprehended, nor are there, we believe, many persons in the country who would attribute to him at any time an nnwil. lingoes. to accept of office ; but if such an im. pression ever prevailed in any snorter, this last speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman will ao doubt effectually remove it. We suet confess that we 0141 suspect the pre. sent Cabinet to be more than ordinarily deficient in common sense, if in their existing emergency they should decline to take advantage of Mr. CANNING'S talents. It is, indeed, very possible that some aeon them may think that he Meg these talents at too high a price, and that however desirous they may feel of having the benefit sf them upon occasion of a hard-fought field in Par. figment, they would yet be unwilling to porchsse them by making their proprietor one of the prin. cipal Secretaries of State. Bat who are they that affect to seta vales upon Mr. Cgootwo? What \ higher claim does any member of the Cabinet pas. Bess to a high and efficient office ? Compared with him they sink for the most part into utter insigni ficance, and be would undoubtedly betray his con respectability if he were to join their party a) second in official rank to any of them. The Paris Papers •up In Saturday have arriv. ed, but they bring no later intelligence from Cop. staeinople than that given in their preceding num`:ers. The trials of the Rochelle and Count. plots are in progress. The reports of the proceed ings nearly fill the columns of these Papers.

The intelligence from Madrid comes down to the YOth !mt. The Queen coo. tinkles dangerously ill. We have received Germau Papers to the 24th last. The long existing dispute between Spain and Algiers is likely to terminate in war. The for mer Power having recalled its Consul, and the Dry having refined purports, the Spanish consul made his escape, not in a very dignified style. This war would operate a favourable diversion for the Greeks. a great part of the Algerine naval force being now employed against them. An article, dated the 4th August, from Ode's., contains intelligence frees Constantinople of the Ist, but it has no allusion to the military operations between the Turks anti Greeks.

Like some of his brother Monarchs in Europe, he seems karfol of disturbing the established order of things.— (Americas Paper.) His MAJESTY has been graciously pleased to be come the patrols of the Edinburgh Deaf and Da.) Institution, so well as to present it with a donation of ope hundred guineas. We understand that Sir Wit. KNIGHTON, Bart. visited this inatittstioa last week, at the express desire of hie roysl master. To the handsome donations by his MAJESTY to the public Institutions of Edinburgh, already men tioned, we are happy to add the following:— To the Society for the support of Gaelie Schools (of AA his Majesty has been graciously pleased to become ?strip) owe ►undred guineas. To the korai Public Diapeusary for the asp sad Cosily of Edistiorgh, fifty relines. Toth. New Town Dispensary, arty guise's. To the Destitute Sick &witty, fifty guise's. We understand that the LORD PROVOST and Ms gistrates, with the greatest attention to the neces sities of the tick and poor in the public establish ments, gave orders that the wine remaining after the Banquet should be given in equal •hares to the Royal Infirmary and the Destitute Sick Society, and that the Irft should be given to the dif ferent workhouses, vrisoners in the gaol, &c. which has been done accordingly. Oa Tuesday, Mr. Atm), of Ayr, presented to the Km, through the medium of the Right Hon. the LORD JUSTICR CLERIC, a splendid Wintry chair, formed out of the remains of the oaken rifle's of Kirk Allowsy, which his MAJESTY was plesgil to receive most graciously. The general design of this valuable chair is after the manner of the enrich ed Gothic. On the front part of the back are formed four crempartments, terminating in pointed arches, and surrounded with appropriate carvings. executed in a style of uncommon boldness and beauty. In these are pliced as many tablets of polished brass, havtng isp.cribed on them, at full length, the well•known humorous and highly descriptive tale of " Tame IrShamier ;" *bile. on the other side, is a clever painting by Staves.
