[Rtceived this Morning.] On Friday and Saturday evenings, Sir BENJA• TvIIN BLOOMFIELD went down to Howth, in ex pectation of his MAJESTY'S arrival. He pro ceeded thither each evening in one of the Royal carriages, in order to convey his Majesty to Dublin, while another Royal carriage waited at Dunleary. Sir Benjamin slept each night on board the Earl of Kingston's yacht,, the Lord Exinouth, which has been lying at Howth harbour for some days. About eight o'clock the Chichester packet was seen near Howth. From the state of the wind, however, she was unable to make the harbour, and there being no packet of any kind at this side of the water, a boat was dispatched with the Irish letters to her, which boat brought back the English Mail from the Chichester in return, and having thus made an interchange of Mails, this packet, without lowering a sail, put directly about for Holyhead. Sir Benjamin received, lay the • Chichester, dispatches, which induc ed him to believe that his Majesty, or a meoseuger, with further dispatches, would arrive at Howth, in the Stearn-packet, by the evening tide, and he accordingly was anxiously on the look-out nearly the whole day. The con gregation which was assembled at the . Church of Howth, got some intimation of this circumstance, and concluding that some decisive news relative to f.i3 Majesty would arrive by the,Steam-packet, crowded down, after Divine Service, to the pier head. About a quarter before three o'clock, some of the best glasses at the Pier descried a steam-vessel, and, on the circumstance being an nounced to the assembled throng, a strong sensa tion was excited. In about twenty minutes after wards, a second Steam-packet, holding the same course, was distinctly seen, and above the horizon, some large three-masted vessels were also dis covered making for the shore. There was now hardly a dolbt but that his Majesty, or some ac count from him, would arrive in a short time, and all the Sunday visitors to the Pier of Howth con sequently remained to ascertain the issue. At a quarter-past four o'clock, the Steam-packet which first hove in sight closed in with Ireland's Eye, having a large flag at bee peak. In a few mi nates afterwards, the Royal travelling carriage, -with four horses, which had taken Sir Benjamin Bloomfield down the evening before, was seen coming at a quick pace to the Pier-head : and exactly at calf past four o'clock, the Lightning steam-packet, Captain Skinner, ran alongside, and came to, at the projection on the west point of the pier. There was now a breathless sus pense of a couple of minutes, the hearts of, the anxious spectators beating high, when some per sons in the crowd recognised his Majesty on board, when they enthusiasti:ally exclaimed, " The King ! God save, God bless the King !" and these cheers and exclamations were loudly and heartily re-echoed by every person present, many of whom were Nobility, and very ele gantly dressed females. Ills Majesty imme diately stood forward, about midships, next the pier. He was dressed in a close blue coat, blue trowsers, and half-boots ; black silk handkerchief' round . his neck, a seal skin travelling cap, with a broad gold band, and white - silk gloves. The moment his Majesty heard the cheers he took off• his cap, and waving it over his head several times, returned the cheers. A small ship ladder, covered with carpeting, was now placed at the vessel's side, against the pier, to facilitate his the same - time, we need scarcely add, Joined most heartily in the loud congratulations with which his Majesty was received on his landing. The cavalcade proceeded onward towards the City, until it reached the Circular Road, when it urned off to the Pheenix Park; Lord Mount- Charles and another Gentleman, sat on the dickey; on the way there was a constant accession of horsemen, who all rode uncovered. His Majesty was cheered as the carriage passed along, which he frequently returned by placing his hands an his breast and bowing. Ott reaching the entrance to the_ demesne in the Park,. the Gentleman .who accompanied his Majesty halted outside the gate, conceiving that their proceeding further might be an intrusion. His Majesty perceiving this deli cacy, waved his hand, and said, " Come on my friends ;" they instantly obeyed. His Majesty alighted' from his carriage at the door of the Lodge ; several Gentlemen also alighted. His Majesty turned round before he entered, and ad dressed all who were present in nearly the fol lowing words : ", My Lords and Gentlemen, and.my good Yeomanry, " I cannot express to you the gratification I feel at the warm and kind reception I have met with on this day of my landing among my Irish subjects. lam obliged to you all. lam par ticularly obliged by your escorting me to my very door.--I may not be able to express my feelings as I wish. I have travelled far. I have made a long sea voyage—besides which, particular circumstances have occurred, known to you all—oi which it is better at present not to speak. Upon those subjects I leave it to delicate and generous hear* to appreciate my feelings.—This is one of the happiest days of my life. I have long •wished to visit you—my heart has always been Irish. From 'the day it first beat, I have loved Ireland. This day has shewn me that lam beloved by my Irish subjects. Rank, station, honours, are nothing ; but, to feel that I live in the hearts of my ,Irish subjects, is, to me, the most exalted happiness.--I must now once more thank yOu for your kindness, and bid you farewell; Go and do by me as I shall do by you—drink my health in a hamper : I shall drink all your's—in a bumper of good Irish wiskey." Ilis Majesty delivered the above Speech with admirithle grace, and with ardent emotions of strong feeling. The last few words were jocu larly addressed to some of the lower class, w ho thronged round his Majesty with looks and expres sions of the strongest loYalty and affection. Ills Majesty then shook hands mot cordially - with every person within his reach, without distinction of rank or appearance, and retired. Dining his short address, he appeared much affected, and when he mentioned his early love for Ireland, he spoke with great emphasis, and in an im pressive and animated manner—he was fre quently applauded. From the moment of his Majesty's landing to his arrival at the Lodge, neither soldier nor policeman appeared, nor offi cial person of any description—but this is not to be wondered at, as his Majesty was known to desire to be landed privately. There was in all about one hundred persons on the lawn when his Majesty addressed them. Among them were, the Marquis of lleadfort. the Martinis of Thomond, Judge Moore, the Solicitor-General, Sir John Burke, Knight, Denis B. Daly, Mr. E. S. Lees, who held open one of the doors of the King's carriage, while Mr. B. Daly held the other ; Mr. Ruth, Mr. Prendergast, Mr. Moore, Lord Mayo, Lord Howtli, the Bishop of Cashel, &c. &c. &c. His Majesty spoke with dignified ease and gracefulness. The cordial warmth of feeling which animated his Majesty may be in ferred from the following trifling incident : Several persons who entered the demesne having walked on the gtass.in the Lawn, some others of _ amply provided with all the materiel requi site for carrying on hostilities. The Emperor FRANCIS spews equal activity, and has issued orders for rendering the frontier regiments disposable ; foTs, though the latter force is wityNrmed andlept , u to its compliment, yet it can only be called upon to act, except in cases of emergency, like our militia, within the territories of the Empire, to repel invasion.— These regiments will be employed in the inte rior while the regular army is engaged in The Paris Journals of Sunday and Monday, which arrived this morning, contain little addi tional information respeciing the present state of affairs between Turkey and Russia, but all accounts concur in stating, that the PORTE has rejected the Ultimatum of Russia, and that war is almost inevitable. An article from Vienna, of the Ist instant, says, that considerable changes will shortly take place in the Austrian Council of State, and in se veral departments of the Ministry. It is conjec tured that these changes are to be attributed to the influence of a Foreign Power, we suppose Russia, as it appears that the Emperor of A us- TRIA. has entered into all the views of the Court of St Tetersburgh. Tfiertl is a report in Germany of an intended interview between two great Monarchs, to take place either at Lemberg or at Warsaw, for the purpose, It is imagined, of con certing plans for the settlement of the affairs of Turkey ; and the last accounts from Vienna mention, that for some days past great activity was observed, and many movements had taken place among the Austrian troops on the Eastern frontiers. The force on this point will be much greater than was at first imagined ; and it may thence be inferred that the Austrian Cabinet will -take an active part with Russia, in the event of war being declared by the latter against the Ottoman Porte. In this case the Ottoman territory will be invaded simultaneously at three different points; and the Russian forces to be employed on this occasion are to be placed under the command of General de SACKEN. The number of disposable troops, collected by the Emperor ALEXANDER, is enormous : they are estimated at 300,000, the advanced guard alone consisting of 80,000 men, and are said to be the Turkish territory; but it is imagined that Aus tria will .not detach so considerable a force against the Ottomans as Russia, because it is considered necessary that Austrian garrisons should be placed in all the principal towns of Italy, in or der to guarantee the Peninsula from new dis turbances, Which would probably break out if all the forces of Austria were engaged in the dominions of Turkey. Several Austrian regiments had been sent from Temeswar to the frontiers, while others are concentrating in Transylvania ; and at the Vienna Depot of Artillery six millions of musket cartridges, and a proportionate number for cannonovere preparing. On the other hand, the Turks are sending con siderable reinforcements of troops and artillery to the army on the banks of thePruih, and Jussur PACIIA has been ordered to concentrate his forces on that point until he is joined by these reinforce ments. The reports respecting the rejection of the Russian ultimatum are very contradictory; but these movements on the part of Turkey, and those of Russia and Austria, incline us to attach credit to the general impression at Vienna that the ulti matum has been rejected. The Emperor of AusTaLt and the King o BAVARIA are to have an interview on affairs of importance ; and the Emperor ALEXANDER IS on his journey to review his troops stationed on different points of the• Turkish frontiers. The Austrian Observer gives an account of the disturbances which took place at Constanti tinople on the second of July, and which have been already before the public : but it appears by the other accounts that in spite of the &mans of. the GRAND SIGNIOR, for the restora- tion of order and tranquillity, the Janissaries and other Turkish troops, as well as the populace, continued to inundate the quarter of Pera, and to insult the Foreign Ministers. According to letters coming from respectable characters, we learn, that a numerous corps of Albanians, well armed and equipped, have joined the Grail Army in Thessalia. The King and Queen of •SPAIN returned to Madrid on the 3d instant. The Infants set out in the morning to meet their MA.. JESTIES, and the garrison of Madrid, as also the National Guard, received the Royal party with every military honour. Their MA JESTIES were then conducted to the palace amid the acclamations of the people. the party called out, not to tread on the grass. " Oh," said his Majesty, with much good humour, C 4 don't mind the grass—let them go where they please." On his Majesty's arrival at the Park, a royal salute was fired at the battery, and:the Union' Flag was hoisted on Bedford Tower. While the events 'which ti itt have described above were transacting at How h and. the Phce, nix Lodge, a scene equally animated and eri thusiastic took place in the vicinity of Dun leary% The roads leading from Dublin had been thronged from an early hour in the morn ing, and the concourse of persons Who lined the shores of the Harbour, in the expecta tion, or in the hope of catching a glympse of the vessel which bore the person of theiA revered Sovereign, was numerous beyond description.— At half-past three,,the signal was made from the Admiral's Flag ship for the fleet lying at Dun leary to get under way, for the purpose of joining the Royal Squadron, which was expected in the course of the evening. The fleet, consisting of all his Majesty's ships and Revenue crnizers, ac companied by the yachts and pleasure-boats which have been for some time_ collecting at Dun- . leary, instantly got under weigh, and stood across. the Bay for llowth, where they formed a line., and presented a spectacle truly imposing At a quarter after 4, a signal from the Martello Tower at Dalkey announced that the Royal Squadron was in eight. The announcement. Was acknowledged by the discharge of artillery from the magazine 2.t Dunleary, the battery at The PigeonAouse, .The first sound of can non was the signal for assembling from all di rections; such a concourse of people as has scarcely ever in this country been equalled.— The pier and quays at Dunleary presented a solid ifiass bf spectators, and the shore and hills from thence to Brayhead were thronged with persons anxious to behold a spectacle so novel and splen did. At half-past five, the Royal Squadron were visible to the naked eye approaching from the Southward, and at '0 quarter before seven the Ad miral's flag-ship, the Cyrus, passed the headmost ship of the Squadron, which then, joined by the Dunleary fleet, and surrounded by the craft of every description, stood in for the Pier, where they all came to their moorings. The evening was delightfully serene, and the magnificent scenery of the Bay never appeared to greater advantage. FREEMASONRY. MASONIC NOTICES FOR NEXT WEEK. Monday, August 20, LoNnog.

We annex their contents " MADRID, JULY 31.—According to accounts which the Government has just received, and which have been sent express by the Board of Trade at Cadiz we learn that the party of Itur bide is making great progress. General Cruz had capitulated in Guadalajura ; Colonel llevia had been killed in an action ; and the insurgent troops occupied the whole Province of Vera Cruz, which place was reduced to great distress. This news is given by the Municipality itself. MADRID, AuG. I.—The Universe/ of to-day gives some remarks on the article which we pub lished yesterday concerning the late events i n New Spain. If the news of the capitulation, and that of the death of llevia, are certain, as appears to be from the information we possess, and which the Universel does not contradict, it is evident that the situation of Vera Cruz, which was very critical before, as appears from the Diary of events which we have published in our Journal, has become considerably worse ; and this fully justifies our expression, that the place was ' reduced to great distress.' We are ignorant whether the Universe! knows this, but we are pretty sure that the Government knows it. For the rest, we shall receive to-morrow,regularly by the Post from Cadiz, the Diary which is usually sent us of all the occurrences at Vera Cruz from the Bth of May, where we left it, to the same day in the month of June, and by this our readers will learn what they are to think. For ourselves, we have known for some time that if America is lost, it will be because those who govern us would have it so. Posterity will do justice to the motives of their conduct, and give to their e. 4 )stinacy in disregarding disinterested and prudent advice, the name which their contem poraries will give it, when they shall obtain an accurate knowledge of the events which are not concealed from them." Notwithstanding all the - attempts of the fac4 tious Journals to disguise Creir knowledge 0 1 the arrangements which had been made for the removal of her MAJESTY'S Remains, their con• duct proves that they were fully aware of it, and were determined to' have_those Remains pro• ceed through the metropolis, else why were the roads broken, and carts, &c. placed, to prevent them from observing the course which Govern ment had settled? It would be gross folly in' deed to suppose that the men actually employed in. making those obstructions did so without orders, or were not paid for their labour' Why also were such mobs collected is the intended line of the procession, for the pur pose of opposing new obstacles to it ? These are plain and simple facts, which admit' or no contradiction, and which sufficiently expose the artifice of affected ignorance and doubt ill the minds of the mob, and prove that all their nocturnal labours must have been the effect of au organized plan, for which the mere agents to doubt received due payment from secret leader s and directors. But what puts the matter be yond all possibility of doubt, is the correspoll‘ dence that took place between Mr. WAintg“ and Lord LIVERPOOL on the day before tr'e funeral procession. His Lordship, in answer to Mr. WAITIIII AN, informed him of tb course which the procession was to pursue' and referred him for particulars to the Chet' berlain's Office. Mr. WAITIMAN, therefore/ was fully apprized of all that the public wa s anxious to know, and finding that the publi c mind was in doubt, it was his duty to promalte his knowledge. lie may, therefore, in some de gree, be considered as responsible for the fril sl consequences which ensued, and it is rather hi s duty to explain the reason of his silence than t o interfere . with the duty of the . Coroner. But, as ".° have before said, the obstructions thrown in. th e way of the course officially determined, piainif demonstrate that a certain part of the pee were. fully apprised of the intended route, fr° l whomsoever they derived the information. If ever there was an occurrence respectirl" which it was incumbent upon all parties to pre serve themselves from the influence of pas , ioua le feelings and political prejudices, it is that W hich so fatally distinguished the funeral proce3sio9 0f her late MAJF.STY. Whether Governtneh) cided right or wrong, in determining that th e 'Opal Corpse should riot be conveyed through ie city, - the result has proved that the decisi°3 was an unfortunate one, since the course adopte d was not only subsequently abandoned, but Ali ce the attempt to adhere to it was productive of bloodshed. This melancholy fact is aloa* sufficiently painful to all reflecting a nd hu mane minds, without the bitt er aggra vatio 3 which is industriously attempted to be added, O r those persons who are eager to represent evert public occurrence in the most unfavourable lig ht ' Amongst the principal charges brought aga i l Ministers, on this unhappy occas i on , i s that having appointed a military guard to accoruPa n Y her MAJESTY'S remains. It is said that this ma re of honour and respect can be construed only °5 an intentional insult to the memory of her MA JESTY ; for, as a Guard of honour was refused t° her when living, it is mere mockery to bestolf i t upon her when dead. Though there is sOnle ; thing plausible i n thi s remar k, admirably adapted, as it is, for the meridian of the popu lar understanding, its fallacy becomes obvious a little examination. For, whatever 'WI have been the reasons for withholding cer taill distinctions from her MAJESTY when living, th °s ! reasons necessarily ceased with her MAitsfY life. Generally speaking, a living Queen maid conduct herself in a manner unworthy +I her high station, and may therefore be II fit object of displeasure, and may `with 1 ' 1 7: 3 ; priety b e d epr i ve d o f a port i on of t h o se flours which a re usua ll y con f erre d DP on her rank.

Thouglt her late MAJESTY was excluded from the one C of her Royal Husband and Sovereign, no • for a moment contend that cons i st enc y required o:i that the feeling which produced her exclusion
