The 'Magistrates of Leith deserve every praise for ktir . 0(11(409i arrirtigemetits they had made Inc his Nl.jesty's reception, and they have certainly the merit of great perseverance obtaining for Leith the honour of iwoo ; the royal landing-place. •lii this reiliei-t Leith has conducted herself as shit grueralty does. with much spirit, especially v. hen it is cnosiiteresl that all these arrangements were undertaten by her eingle-hatisleil. The extra ronsiables for the occasion consisted of the roost seonectslile young mess its I.rilli. Owing to the exertions or the !Magistrates and rommitte, whirls were trio.t slily supported by theeitivi'yof Mr. SeArtli, the moderator of the toost•itiler, not the slightest disorder nor any acci dent occurred. The Magistrates of Canongste and North Leith Stationed as above desciihrd, were the first public authorities to greet l,i. Majesty on his arrival in his Scottish dominions, which they did by lowering of their colours and itacovering their heads, while their biod of music saluted the royal ear with " God tore the King." Mr. Kent, or some other wittier pedestrian, we ate told, walked out to meet his Majesty, and pleased the royal barge waving his hat and cheering. Last night I.eith presented a general illuanina tillt. There were not minty devices. but the few we noticed • were very well chosen. The Custom hausr,•the Commercial Batik, Leith Bank, 'lris toty.house, were among those which were lighted with variegated lamps. CEREMONY AT THE BARRIER. Pros-ceding up Lest II %Valk, his MajestY approach ed she barrier about one o'clock. Here the Magi stratev of Edinburgh were waiting to present to his Mujesty the keys of the the. The Usher of the White Rod, accompanied by the two senior Heralds, having preceded the pro s •ssion, arrived at the Ciiy Ranier, (tie. Sinai!. as Misichmosit Herald, gave three knocks, when the tlarinbeilani appeared, and inquired his commands, upon which the Herald begged of him to inform the Right Honourable the Lord Provost sod Magistrates that Ins Majesty the King had arrived, and desired to be admitted into the city. The Chamberlain having made his report to his Lordship, the Usher of the White Rod and die Heralds were allowed to raster, wherestison the Merchmont Herald presented Irtrivelf before the Lord Provost and Magistrates u,s-nibled and made the following request : " My turd—l have the honour of Me to your Lordship the very sear approach of our soil gracious So vereign she K.'s!. to visit this his most loyal sod ancient ca. viral of lieurlated ; and I saw commanded to request admit tance to the city for himself and reissue." The Lord Provost having graciously consented, nsderied the city barrier to be immediately thrown which was done amid the cheers of the spec tators. • When the royal carriage had entered the barrier, t a u Lord Provost, attended by the Magistrates, aklvaoc.d, presented the keys of the city, and ad slit-sired Moiesly in the following t e rms:— " May it please your M.ijelty—We your Majesty's most faithful and thalami subjects, the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and l o ots Council of Edinburgh, estimated with the warmest tecltugs of attachment to your Msgisiy's sacred meson and goveroment,lieve embrae•tl the earliest moment of approach tog your Royal presence, for the purpose of congratulating yo u r Majesty on your safe arrival 10 your misdeal hereditary of Scottated, and of offeriwg fur your gracious re seprwore the keys of your Majesty's good town of E'lln• Lorgli ; this dutiful ceremony, 8 re,does um, as in former t nut; remeseut the shred comcraud of gates and fuitilica• toils, these having been brag mare rendered unnecessary by Ole internal prare sad happiness which Edinburgh has ea. j l ed ruder the mild surd paternal governmeet of your Majesty, amid your Majesty's father of happy memory.

ENTRY INTO THE CITY. The llagistrates bossed and retired to their car riages, and proceeded to their station in the proces. s;01i. The following wa• the route %%%%%% pursued l'iccarely-plece, York-place, the east side of Andrew's-square. into Prince's.etreet. It was here that • prospect opened to the view of the royal party, sncli as no imagination could have suppli e d: it. hoist on the senses, therefore, with all the fresh r!es of originality, and yet with all the force which it could receive from intellectual association. 'fhrotighout the progress of the procession his itlajesty had beheld ciotvds of well-dressed persons . every condition sit life, anxious to Phew their re spect fur the throne, in the manner which best con sisted with the Scottish character. If no extrava gant enthusiasm) marked by its disorderly bellowing and strife the progress of the King. yet was there s teleiog wanting which decorum could not dispense any 111101 e than there appeared those evi dences of frenzy which reas o n sus Id not tole- Lite. The men 'Cheered and waved their hats; tl.e women displayed silk ft igs mud handker and welcomed the Monarch with their smiles. 11t., Majesty was pleased at times to acknowledge t: es, attentions by takin; or his het and bowing to 1 subject,. Dut there remained one scene cal -1 orri to take the admiration of any man by sue •;.e, for it applied immediately to the mind and to I:,c heart. The members of the procession were I 1, , Y romlng abruptly co the view of Calton Hill, un the Steep and summit of which it seemed us though the population of a hundred cities were 'ea r e d, flaw i. it possible to describe the appear. vice The hill at first might have been likened to o military corked hat—e gravel walk intersecting t 4! fold, and the Nelson's monument serving as* t •ather. But the contemplation of the beholder rould not long have entertained so frivolous a sug gestion of tile fancy. As the King advanced, the hill of heads was perceived to move ; and behold it was alive, and it spoke. The cap and feather was row flung away for ever. The 'scads were unco vered, and the nearer they were approached, the mere strongly did they indicate in their bold fronts the poseession of an active and discriminoting in telligence. It might be truly mid of them as of 'others whom the saying his immortalized—they were uncovered out of respect for the King ; but the exposure of their sake foreheads was calculated to exact the very tribute which it was their inten tion to have paid. They cheered the Sovereign with the courtesy of obedience end the warmth of friend ship ; but casting their eyes on the arrows and clay mores of In' Scottish guards, they seemed to be saying--" Those are the termites's which repelled the uppre•sor; they are equally proper for the de fence of the King." We were exceedingly grati fied to perceive that his Majesty, whose counts- ' uanx• had presented a sorroaltsl,dejected, and withal meditative aspect, during the day (probably ow ing to the death of Ins Minister), became lighted up with more agreeable emotions at the sight of !list which we have so feebly described ; and we even feared lest the fair ladies of Waterloo-place should in consequence come off with less of that royal no tice and regard, for which they evidently toiled with so much perseverance. The procession moved slowly along the New Road, and clown the Abbey HJI ; and at about • quarter before two his Majesty alighted within the Palace of his Scottish ancestors. The event was immediately announced by royal salutes from the artillery stationed on Calton Hill, and the Salisbury Crags, and also from the Carole. The royal carriage was received •t Holvrood by a number of noblemen and gentlemen, and at the gate owns posted a detachment of Celia, end *ix household servants of the King. On reaching the Abbey, the other squadron and bodies which funned the procession marched through on the north side to the King's Park. The guard of honour was com posed of the flank compauies of the regiments in the Castle. Shortly after arriving at the Palace, his Majesty proceeded to the Audience Chamber ; and being seated upon the throne, and surrounded by the Officers of State, the Lord Provost and Council were introduced, when his Majesty received their Addrtss of Congratulation, and returned a most gracious answer, Shortly after this the King 'entered his car riage amidst the loudest cheering of tke multitudes assembled on Arthur Seat, Salisbury Craggy, and King's Park, and proceeded, with an escort of the Scots Greys, to Dalkeith Palace, where he was to dine privately, covers been laid for sixteen ; and having rested during N ridgy, his Majesty was to return to the Palace on Saturday to hold a Levee. As his Majesty slept into his carriage, lie called Lord Lyndock to him, and expressed, in the hearing of many individuals, the greet satis faction lie bad experienced that day, and sta.ed, that he had never been more gratified in his lifetime, particularly with the admirable arrangements of the Magistracy, and the orderly conduct of the people. His Majesty was received in Dalkeith with mani festations of the must perfect loyalty and attachment. The people assembled in crowds to hail the arrival of their Sovereign, and at night a general illumina tion took place, with a grand display of fireworks. Numerous bonfires blazed on all the surrounding hills, and in short every thing was done to testify the joy of the people generally at his Majesty's visit. flis Majesty had on Thursibiy ■ select party to dine with him, consisting principally of the great officers of the household, with three or four other distinguished personages. The grounds and scenery around this town canna, it is presumed, tills to accord with his Majesty's approved taste, and we may venture to hope, that he will be induced to prolong his sojourn with us at least fur some days beyond the very short period he has prescribed to himself. His Majesty arrived from Edinburgh, at half-past three o'clock, in a close carriage, and a guard of honour lined the streets as he passed along. ILLUMINATION AT LEITH. The rejoicings in Leith o► Thursday night were of the mo.t admirable nature ; every face seemed to beam with joy ; throughout the whole day festivity reigned triumphant. Not a mast or flag-staff could be seen without a flag or streamer. The seed-shop of Messrs. Peacock, on Leith Walk, bad G. IV. R." and a crown tastefully wrought with flowers. Mr. S.

At eight o'clock the bells began to ring a merry peal, and the windows were shortly after lighted up ; even the most obscure lane, where the light of the sun itself could hardly penetrate, shone as bright as noon.

If any credit can be given to the reports iu circulation, the breaking LONDON, TUESDAY, AuGorr 20, 182:2. Before these lines shall have reached the greater part of our reader., the remains of the unfortunate Marquis of LONDONDERRY will have been con signed to the grave that has been prepared for them in Westminster Abbey. The body of this distinguished Statesman is to repose in death by the side of WILLIAM PITT, of whom he ever boasted especially to he the friend and follower. When Lord Lo NDO N DERRY first appeared is public life, ►he political world was divided by the names of Fox and PITT. To these two mighty men all persona throughout the empire looked up as the presiding Genii, as if thy alone were quali fied to dispute the empire of the universe; and we have the authority of the Etrl of CH A RLESIONT, that at a very early period of Lord I.oNoon. DERRY'S life lie avowed himself to be the devoted adherent of WILLIAM PITT. It would be impos sible to determine, after the death of Mr. PITT, how far the dregs of his party evinced a consistency with the great principles upon which the great master-spirit professed to act ; but we think it can not be doubted, that the circumstances of public affairs had altered very essentially between the time of the death of 11'mt.►.IAM PITT and the eventual accession of Lords LIVERPOOL and CASTLEREAGH to office, and that consequently the spirit of Mr. PITT'S gover 1111 l ent is no more to be regarded in endeavouritig to estimate the character of his suc cessor, than that orhis father, Lord CHATHAM, or any other Minister who ever occupied a seat in the Council Chamber. For our own parts we look upon Lord I.ONDONDERRY, in opposition to the sentiments of Ilia professed adherents, as entitled to a consideration somewhat higher than they are disposed to grant to him; nod that to us lie appears to be a Minister of original views, acting in scenes totally distinct in kind and character from any in which Mr. PITT had been engaged, and that in urging his way through them lie could have re ceived little or no assistance from any of the re corded opinions of him who was presumed to be Lord LONDONDERRY'S prototype. It is highly honourable to the Marquis of LON nowotarr that a French Paper, the Journal del Debars, which, rather more than the Mondenr, is known to express the feelings of the French Go vernment, should lo.ment his ileath as an event which at the present moment is likely to he fraught with cßnseriences injurious to the well being and union of Europe. It was known that the Marquis was to have attended the ensuing Congress, wheth er to be holden at Ntertnia or Vienna, in quality of Re presentative for Great Britain ; sad the writer in the Journal de Debuts invests him with even a higher character, namely, that of mediator be tween the several Powers of Furope—a kind of conciliating influence amidst claims and intere; , .. essentially conflicting. All ihi; is highly honour able to the character of the deceased, and no ;as s creditable to his country. It proves the influence of Great Britain by the importance attached to the acts and conduct of her reprteentetive, and the respect which belonged personally to him, who in his turn supported with dignity. the credit and ho.: nour of his Government. We have no doubt that the deceased Marquis will be regretted sincerely by the heads of the several Governments of Europe, all of whom looked upon him personally as the grand link which bound Great Britain to the prin ciple of action which has been unequivocally and universally professed by the great Powers of the Continent. We announced yesterday the public entry of his MAJESTY into his ancient capital of Scotland, and gave to our readers a general view of the ceremonies that were observed on that interesting occasion. This day will be found a more particular account of those marks of honourable distinction *tech his northern subjects had prepared for giving a national welcome to their Sovereign. There was in those preparations every thing of splendour which might be expected from • noble and gallant people, our was there any deficiency in those peculiar circuin . stances which were meant to convey to his M taESTY the assurance of their grateful loyalty and love. But it must be admitted that throughout the whole of the gorgeous ceremonial we look in vain fur that bursting enthusiasm which marked the demeanour of the people of Ireland when the KING offered himself to their view, and in the generous confi dence of his heart threw himself into the crowd of his people without guards or attendants. The cha racteristics of the two nations are essentially distinct. There is avowedly in the people of Scotland—and they pride themselves in the distinction—a reflecting i earnestness which addresses itself calmly and with an apparent want of energy to every occurrence of life, and teaches them, whatever may be the strength of their feelings, to estimate the degree of enthu siasm which ought properly to belong to their ac knowledgment of any particular occurrence : but reflection is utterly inconsistent with the genial glow of Irish feeling, and it was therefore far e a sier for the inhabitants of the sister island to exult in the presence of a KING whom they had loved almost to idolatry, long before his brow had been encircled with the regal diadem, than to explain to any cool , or dispassionate inquirer what hopes of future good they might have been justified in enter taining front the circumstance of his MAJESTY'S visit. Ireland, it is true, had the honour of his MAJESTY'S first visit, and highly her people appreciated it, and there were many circum stances in the dark and melancholy page of her history which made the momentary light of the royal presence a solace for the pest and a happy - omen for the future ; but, independent of this, there is an airy lightness in the character of the p,-ople which is easily excited by public occurrences, and national vanity strove with their personal attachment for the KING to shew that they wrre worthy of the proud distinction which their Sore reign had bestowed upon their country. It it to be lamented deeply that few, if any, of the benefits which had been anticipated from the KING'S visit have fallen upon the unhappy country. Ireland has since that period of intoxicating hilarity suffered a famine in the midst of plenty, and has endured all the worst features of a civil war in the face of a vigorous Government and of a well-disciplined army. Even the factious distinctions to which bait policy and evil times had given birth, and which, like noxious exhalations, had clouded the fair prospect of Irish prosperity, kive not been ili.- sipated by his MAJESTY'S presence. The com mand of the KING to his own professed ad herents has been despised. The Dane alio vainly commanded the *ea not to wet his royal mantle, spoke with as much elf et to the 002311 34 E 0 RGE the Fourth has to the Orange faction that seeks to drench Ireland with blond. flap pity for Scutlaiid no admonition• to check party zeal are necessary there. In Edinburgh there is no ruling cove which looks upon itself as synonimous with Majesty, or regards its own crude notions as coriveying the spirit of die Constitution. At all events there is no class of people of Scotland who in their midnight o r Lz ier, and with an assumption of exclusive loyalty. profess • conditional obedience, and declare 'hot the KING shall he no King to them, if he shall not secure their superiority as a party lii the State over rollers of their fellow-subject , whom they have thought proper to proscribe. — A hope prevailed in Ireland before the ING'S that the presence and authotity vf his NIA JESTY would completely beat down this malignant • out of a dew revuliAnn al Constantinople his been prevented with greet difficulty ; but the state of istrairs is so verycriticsl, that if the news of such • revolution should come, it would nut .brussex. peeled or cause any surprise. —( Nuremberg . 0 - f -- respondent, distgwit 9.) - - FRANKFORT. •URtJAT 10. The wife of the merchant Four; lately condemn ed to death for murder; is gone to Berlin to direct in Herron the steps to be token in support the ap peal against the senteuce, end in case this appeal should foil, she will implore the royal clemency in favour of her hutband. A most remarkable petition to his Majesty the Kiln of Prussia, in favour of Mr. Fonk, has been 'signed by a number of most respectable inhabitaina of the city of Treves. They !tunably submit to his Majesty, that the public proceedings iii t h is case have left in their minds most serious doubts respect ing the guilt of the accused, the gromida of watch they explain. Twice before already he has been acquitted of the crime—first, on the 29.1 of June, 1818 ; and secondly, on the 41th of February, 18i0, by two d•ffereut Juries; that though hr knew his servant Hamacher was to be tried, and he hid every reason to expect to be tea a third time, he did not leave the conittry, which he might easily have done ; that reel' the facts of the case are not decidedly fixed, the faculty having declared that the cause of the death of the late M. Cotner, was doubtful, and it could not be ascertained whether his death was caused by drowning in the Rhine, or whether be was thrown in a corpse. Still greater doubts are excited by other circumstances: first, with respect to the supposed falsification of the books of the partnership with M. Schroeder, lOr the purpose of concealing • fraud on the latter, which was adduced as a motive for the supposed murder of Schroeder's clerk, Cornell, the Cham ber of the Senate of Treves, after a most strict in vestigation, has declared, in an opinion which in forty sheets examines the question point fur point, that there was no falofimation or fraud, and this point has not been brought forward on the present trial. This imagined motive for the murder, there fore, on which so much stress has been laid, is dune sway. The second proof against Funk, arisir.g from the deposition of Hamaclie►, is liable to many objections, not only from the circum•tancrs in which it was made, but from the great improbabili ties it contains, and its being refuted by touch more respectable testimony. Hamacher himself, too, recanted this deposition a few days after, when solemnly called on by the clergyman to tell the truth. He has persisted in this recantation for five year., though in chains; and even after Font: was condemned, declared that the latter was innocent, but that he himself deserved his punishment fur the lies he had told. The ;petitioners endeavour to account for the de cision of the Jury by the great difficulty of form ing a true estimate of a case, the hearing of which had occupied seven weeks, in which 250 witnesses were examined. The speeches of the Counsel on both sides took up six days, and the summing up of the President eight hours. Many ciieumstances, such as the constant presence of flamacher, in his chains and his red dre►s, as a condemned criminal (for this very crime), violent pamphlets against the Defendant, published just before the opening of the A►sizes, and other things tending to inflame the pas sions of the public ; all this they think might im perceptibly influence the minds of the Jury, and they therefore beg his Majesty to consider in his wisdom whether these are not grounds to suspend the execution of the sentence.—(Frankfort Papers, August 12 J THE BRITISH PRES S.
