Our accounts from Madrid furnish the following particulars : " Our situation does not improve the diseonteat sod irri feline of people's minds, or account of the conduct of the ling, the distrust in the G meat, the allictiog accounts that arrive mrecessively from Catalonia sod Armes, the joy which the Liberals see impressed in the etiontessmees of their adversaries, all seem to bring as toward., • crisis, the result of which comsat be foreseen. la g e 1, efficacioss mea sures are rolled for to suppress the revolt " We owe the aratiouanee of public tranquillity to the fears that are entertained of seeing this capital delivered op to disorder, but there had nearly bets a disturbance a few days ago. " Ow Tuesday, at half-past Sec o'clock, some stomps were throws from • window in the Palace, at two *catboat' on the opposite side, which excited the greatest indignation to the soldiers du duty, chi. fly composed of militia. The Com mistier 'wombat,ly reported this insult to General PaSalim, poiating out the window from whirl. the stones were thrown, sod aserrisg him it had been dune by a woman. On investi gating the maitre, it appeared they came from the chamber of Madame Lope, Lady of H to the Infanta Donna Francisca d'Asir, and were thrown by a aempsiress who was at work there, b ut was not one of the establishment of the Palace. She was arrested. The King being iufornieil of it, ordered the affair to be investigated, and all those to be polished who should be found to have been concerned. Titus in some degree appeased the militia and the garrison. " Oa the 3d the same insult was repeated, the utilise!s being struck by a bottle and some old shoes, thrown from one of the windows of the Palace. This time the author of Ibis insult could not be discovered. His MajestyMs ordered that airy servant or other person inhabiting the Palace, who shall throw soy thing from the balconies or warriors of the Palace, shall be immediately dismissed from his service, mad punished besides as the ease may require. " The King has signed as order to call out the "bole of the active militia, composed of ty regiments, *high may amount to about 40,000 men; of these, however, 14.000 are already ander arms. This measure (says the Spectator) was ladispensable, considering the effrontery of the enemies of the system, who proclaim the reign of despotism in the frontier provinces, sad also the assembly of the Preach troops on the frostier., wader the pretext of a sanitery cur. doe, when there are .o symptoms of any epidemic in Spain but the rage of the Ultras of Europe. " The Government has also ordered to be embarked at AI/rains the fine balladeer's of the regiments of the Crows sad of Gallieis, and also of the active militia of Xerra de la Pronters. They are destined fur Catalonia. *Great activity is observed in the arsenals of Seville and Segovia. " It is not known how the Government thinks to meet th e extraordinary expenses which the pelmet striae of things demands. Hitherto we see only • decree of August 1, con. formable to that of the Curies of 29th lune last, uideriog the emission sad sale 6(13 millions of real*, at 5 per cent. The Government has published a notice that it will receive pro posals op to September I. Some are said to have bees made by foreign bankers, but of a very unfavourable nature. Another decree opens a credit of 50 millions fur the Miais ter of the Marine, to be exclusively employed its building and equipping the 2'7 ships of war decreed by the Curls. on 21st June last. • " A forced loaw of 200 usillioes is also Milted of, but the effect which the mere rummer has occasioned mast eoavioce the advocates of ibis project of the fatal consequences that might attesd it. It is therefore in Auriga cooutries only that Mimic will dad the resources of which it is uuw iu owed. The acissuits from the provinces seem to indicate fede ral views, if we may believe the seem circulated by the Con onateros, for it was affirmed this levering that Barcelona had assembled tbeproviacial &potations/ sad the municipalities, in order to 'pugilist a particular eoverament, sad devise mea sures to destroy tbe factious, because the Govintmerd at Madrid had beer deaf is lbe repeated solicitations of the Bareclosese.

They are in the most deplorable si tuation, and destitute of every thing. Hence we may see that the accounts spread in foreign Jour rode, of societies formed for their relief, which were even stated to have contributed millions of roubles, were wholly unfounded, like so many other., of which those on the spot raw directly the reverse. The nrcounts from ihe Pelopotinerus, and of the 'death of the Capitan Pitch'. so revived their courage, that 185 Hydriots and Spessiots, who were at Odessa, immediately resolved to sell their ships, and to make on foot the long journey to Ancona (as they are not admitted at Trieste). They have already passed the frontier., and •firm that 2,000 Greeks will follow, all resolved to return home by this long journey on foot, to expose their lives fur their religion and country. FRANKFORT, AUGUST 9. The Oriental Spectator affirmed that Napoli di Romania (which was said to be taken on the 30th of May) was still in the hands of the Turks on the 30th of June, but that it was closely pressed, and had commenced a negotiation for a capitulation. Letters from Alexandria of the Bib June say, that there have been some cases of plague among the lowest cies!, but as the hot season was far ad vanced it was hoped that it would not spread. Letters from Cyprus say, that the Egyptian troops encamped lii the interior of the island had mutinied; they left their cantonments, and plun dered as they passed several villages, Turkish and Greek, without distinction ; then they entered Lar flies, where they committed same excesses, but M. de Eigny, a French commandant, being happily on the spot, ow e d them by his firm ness. He has consented to remain some time longer. Two Consulates have been forced to remove; the French have means of defence. Means have been found to send sway some hundred■ of the mutineers. M.

LONDON, MONDAY, AUGYST 19, 1822. TIM KING. His MAJESTY made his grand entre into Edin burgh on Thursday. The procession corresponded exiled) , with the programme published last week in this Paper. We received the details of the joy with which his MAJESTY was rec. ived too lute last night for insertion at length. The scene may be more easily conceived than described. The Gazelle of Saturday night announces his MAJESTY'S a►rival in Leith Roads on Wednes day. In the expectation of his MAJESTY'S land ing on Wednesday afternoon, preparations were begun for his reception, and the troops and High hinders were in march to occupy the stations as signed to them, when an Edinburgh Curette Ex traordinary was published, containing the follow ing notification : " WEDNESDAY, ♦UGUST 14. " His MAJEITT having been pleased to 6x the boor of twelve o'clock to-morrow, the 15th of August, fur his land ing at Leith, the procession, forsaerly ordered by the Edin burgh Gazette Extraordinary of the 10th inst. will be reedy to move off from Queen-siteet at ten o'clock, is t►e order therein pt eseribed, with these *lterations : " lst. That the attendance f Ilse Peers is not expected. " 2d.That the Lord Lieutenant of Mid-Lothiau, u• horse back, will follow, instead of preceding, the carriages of the Officrn of Stale. "3d. That after the keys of the city shall have been de. livered to his Majesty, the carriage of the Lord Provost will fall into the procession immediately behind the Lord Lien_ tenant of she county of Mid Lothian ; and t►e carriages with the Magistrates of Edinburgh will fall in Wished the Deputy Lieutenants of the county. " M ELVILLE. WM DVNDAS. "WM. RAE. D. DOYLE." It was about two o'clock p.m. when the royal squadron east anchor off Leith, at • distance of a mile and a half from the shore. The morning was very wet, and at the time the royal yacht was dis cerned bearing up the Frith of Forth, the rain fell in torrents, but it did not damp the ardour of the im mense mnititude assembled on the occasion, all anxious to obtain a sight of their Kula, and to welcome him to their native land. An official communication was, Itoweser, made to the Magis trates of Leith, who were assembled at the platform and at the Exchange, in readiness to receive his MAJESTY, that the landing would not take place until the following day. It was understood that his MAJESTY was slightly indisposed from sea sickness during the heavy gales of Tuesday, but that the principal reason for his not landing was the anis. vourable state of the werther, and the consequent inconvenience to those attending on the ceremonial. It is also probable that his MAJESTY had then received, though the event had not generally trans. pired, the intelligence of the melancholy death of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, and that the shock it would necessarily occasion deprived hint for the moment of the spirits requisite for the brilliant pageantry of a public entry. All the vessels in the roads fired salutes as the KINO entered ; and his MAJESTY, who appeared on deck in a naval tun form, acknowledged in the usual manner the cheers which hailed his arrival. We have received Paris Papers •p to Friday last ; none were published on Thursday, it being the day of the Assumption. A private letter received in Paris from the frontiers of Spain, dated the 7th of August, speaks in so enthusiastic tone of the suc cesses that have attended the arms of the Royalists in Arrsgon sod Catalonis. These two provinces are said to be wholly in the power of the " De fenders of the Faith." A letter from Vienna says, that the Emperor of Rvsst♦ has expressed a wish that the Congress, which has been proposed to be held in Verona or Leghorn, should take place in Vienna, for his per sonal accommodation. We have received Spanish Papers of recent dates, but they add no intelligence of any important faits beyond what we had received previously through the French Journals. It is unfortunately but too evi dent that Spain is at this moment seriously convulsed, bat hopes may be entertained that the appointment of the new Ministry, in whose ieal anti iincerity the friends of Spanish freedom repose an unlimited confidence, *ill be enabled quickly to restore trap. quillity. There are symptoms in the state of Spew of a worse chirsaer than even the actual skirmishe, which occasionally occur iii Arragon And Catalonis between the Constitutionalists and the Royalists, These might he closed by the loss of some few liver, and the vigor''r of the Patriot rimy might in some short time suppress the augry disturbances of a despairing faction ; but Spain cannot hope fur tie permanent stability of her Constitution, nor rojov that state of confiding repose which alone can develope the resources of her wealth and hap. ;sinews, so long as the KINO shall be regat.led ss an object of suspicion and distrust, ant' the covert enemy of the liberty of his people: The Royalists shew themselves in tins re apect exceedingly injudicious, fur they never cease to boast of the secret countenance and assistance which they allege that their party receives firms the KING and his brother; they pretend in every in. stance to act in his name and on his behalf, and thus cruse him to be feared and hated by persons who certainly have bins in their 'rower, and who may, in some unhappy paroxysm of alarm, conceive them.: selves authorised to prevent their own destruction by the sacrifice of his power, his liberty, or his life. To some undefined feeling of this nature may in some degree be attributed the death of the un fortunate King of Faance, fur had that ill fated Monarch succeeded iu removing the doubts which were universally entertained of the sincerity of his professions in favour of the liberty of France, he might have continued to have worn his crown with safety and honour. The !loyalists of Spain now begin to sound the alarm of an immediate invasion of Spain by • large French urmy, which, accord tug to their assertions, is to restore the Kura to his former power, and to punish the Comb tutionalists fur their contempt of his authority; and this rumour is supposed to derive some strength flow the increasing strength of the French army of observation, which once bore the name of the Coe door Samitaire. Such a statement extensively circu lated may be presumed to exercise some influence upon the minds of the multitude in Spain, and it was no doubt for the purpose of obviating the effects of this rumour that the Constitutionalists, upon their part, set on foot the positive declerstion of its having been intimated to the Spanish Govern ment by the British Minister at Madrid, that if any foreign Power should invade Spain, with a view to the overturning of the Constitution, Great Britain would support the existing Government by the sits most exertion of her naval and military, force. One statement is as devoid of truth and probability as the other.
