THE KING. DEPARTURE A:cp EMBARKATION or TUE KING (ERPM THE DUBLIN 140RNING POST OF TUESDAY.) Yesterday being the day announced for his MAJESTY'S departure, the road leading to Dun leary was crowded from an early hour in the morning, by an immense number of persons, male and female, all eagerly anxious to get a last look at their King, before he would finally quit the Irish shore. 'he day was uninterruptedly fine ; it was the only fine day we had for eight days past. By ten o'clock it was with great difficulty that a jaunting car or vehicle of any description could be procured, and the drivers of the few that were to he met with, returning to town, raised the prices of their fare as the day advanced. When a car appeared within sight of the hurt 7 dreds who were looking out, in the hope of ob taining some conveyance, it was sure to be seized as it approached Bali's Bridge, and fortunate was he who could purchase for ss. a sixpenny jaunt to Donleary ! At the upper end of the King's-road, at the outer pier of Dunleary har bour, an elegant pavilion had been erected. It was surpported by five" pillars, each encircled as ids evergreens. Foldings of crimson drapery s an round the top, and at' each corner a small pillar was raised, from which four white flags floated in the wind ; one exhibited the Shamrock in its proper colour, another the Rose; the third the Thistle, and the fourth the three emblems unit.: ed. A pole was also raised from one side of the Royal marquee, from which the Royal flag was to be hoisted on his Majesty's entrance. The pavilion was surmounted by the British Crown, richly gilt. The floor was boarded, over it was spread some blue cloth, and over that a rich and beautiful carpet ; the descent from the pavilion to the water's edge was also - covered with car peting to match, and a large platform of wood covered with scarlet cloth, was placed at the entrance to the pavilion, to facilitate the ascent to it, and on which his Majesty was to step on big alighting from his carriage. At the extre mity of the Pier the Royal flag was hoisted.— The Deputation from the Gentlemen of the County were ranged on the south side of the pa vilion, dressed in their visitation costume, with pink silk scarfs, and wands bearing favours of pink ribbon, or pink banners, with apprOpriate mottos or devices. The Gentlemen forming the Deputation from the City were ranged on the west side, dressed also in appropriate 'costume, and wearing sky blue silk scarfs, and wands, &c. His Majesty did not leave the Park as early as was expected. It was not until one o'clock that he set forward on his tour into the county Wicklow, intending to.stop at the seat of Lord Powerscourt. At half-past two o'clock the 23d Royal Fusi leers arrived at Dunleary, and took their station at either side of the King's Road, the centre of which was kept clear for his Majesty and suite. At ten minutes past four the trumpets sounded, the word was - given for the soldiers to ‘ 4 fall in," the crews were seen to man the rigging of the different vessels of his Majesty's squadron, and the King's boat (painted green) was manned, and put out from his . Majesty's yacht, the rowers being dressed in blue uniforms turned up with . scarlet, their oars painted green, richly gilt.— The precision with which their" oars kept time," as they approached the shore, raised the greatest admiration. The boat having entered the har bour, lap under the Pavilion at the point fixed for his Majesty's embarkation. At the sound of the trumpet a strong sensation was excited among the people. The shipping were seen to hoist their flags and streamers, and it was generally supposed that his Majesty was then approaching the pier : this was found, how ever, not to be the case. At six o'clock a couple of outriders were seen rapidly precedinga chariot and four. On its arriving at the Royal Pavilion, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, Lord Sid mouth, and the Earl of Meath, alighted from it. The Lord Lieutenant was loudly applauded.— His Excellency acknowledged their compliment by bowing in return. In addition to those already mentioned, we noticed Lord Castlecoote, the Earl of Wicklow, Lord Mount Charles, Lord Castle Stewart, General Doyle, &c. &c. &c.— At twenty minutes to seven o'clock a Courier arrived and announced to the Lord Lieutenant the approach of his Majesty ; in a few minutes an officer of the Lancers was seen coming at full speed ; he had scarce arrived at the tent, when a number of Centlemen rode in at full gallop, with their hats off, and crying, " The King, the King." A troop of Lancers preceded his Majesty's carriage, which was surrounded by the Officers of his Staff ; hats and handker chiefs were seen waving in every direction, and the shouts that reverberated along the hills, were almost enough to " shake earth to its centre." His Majesty, on alighting, was re ceived by his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, the Lord Mayor, and the distinguished and noble characters who had assembled at the Royal tent. When his Majesty entered the tent, the Royal flag was immediately hoisted over it ; and this being a signal to the sloops of war, who were to convey his Majesty, of the King's arrival at the pier, a Royal Salute was fired from the ves sels, which NI as answered by the overpowering and deafening shouts of myriads of spectators, who thronged the hills around, as far as the eye could reach. His Majesty bowed most graci ously on entering the pavilion—he was dressed in the undress of the Windsor uniform, with white trowsers and round hat, and remained un covered, the band performing " God save the King." His Majesty appeared in excellent health and spirits. An Address from the inhabitants of Dublin, which had been prepared by the Committee, was presented, and read to his Majesty, by the Lord Mayor. Mr. O'Connel, accompanied by a deputation of ten other Gentlemen, presented a Laurel Crown to his Majesty. The King was pleased to express himself in the most affecting manner :--- 44 Gentlemen," said his Majesty, " I approached your shores with pleasure—l now quit them regret. May God Almighty bless you all until we again meet."-- His Majesty then proceeded to the water-edge, I surrounded by the Officers of his Household, the Nobility, and a great number of the middle classes. The view at this moment was most magnificent—the, beach thronged for some miles with assembled multitudes -in every variety of gay attire, besides the hundreds of thousands of the lower classes—the bay exhibiting the Royal squadron, with all their flags proudly waving in a variety of colours, that had a most picturesque effect, the thunder of their cannon vieing with the acclamations of the people. When his Majesty entered the boat that was to convey him.to the yacht, and during his passage to that vessel, the band stationed at the Royal tent Played 64 Patrick's liay." On his Majesty's reaching the yacht he remained on.deck for some time, and ,waved his hat to the people on the beach. In about half an. hour the crowd began to bend their way s towards the village of Dun leary—it seemed as if it was but one living mass of human beings jammed- closely together, and their progress was consequently so slow, that it was dark by the time the last had reached Dun- Leary._ Here the road was blocked up by lan daus, curricles, carriages, jaunting cars, gigs, and vehicles of every description, three or four deep, for a considerable extent. At the` time we left the pier (eight o'clock) his Majesty's squadron was not. under sail. After night-fall, the boats still - crowded - about the Royal yacht, which was brilliantly illuminated. The great business 'was now to get hack to town. The immense living mass had crowded as nearly to one point as was possible. On going out, each took - the road and hour most convenient during the day. Now all sought the city at the same moment, and by the same route; the 'con sequence was, a complete stoppage, owing to the road being filled with every kind of vehicle. At eight o'clock (it - was then quite dark) the last of the line of carriages had not yet passed the Mar tello Tower at Dunleary ! The ladies, young and old, and children, who were crowded in them, were sadly at a loss for refreshment of some kind, after the day, they having, for the most part, left town at au early hour. Bread was in great demand, but not to be had, for any .price, in sufficient quantity ; and water sold at three-pence a bottle ! (FROM THE DUBLIN CORRESPONDENT, SEPT. 4.) Correspondent Office, Four o'Clock.—The fol lowing document is of pre-eminent importance. It contains the approbation of our king, which is the fulfilment of ambition, expressed concerning all those just, upright, and able men, who are invested m ith the administration of power in Ireland. It contains that, too, which is of in valuable estimate—the advice of a great and an affectionate Monarch to a loyal and zealous peo ple. The counsel which our Sovereign gives to his people of Ireland, deserves to be written in splendid and imperishable characters. Every man, of every persuasion, should place it over his chimney—should see that his children read it daily, as a duty inferior only to the claims of re ligion—and he should take especial care that he himself adhered, faithfully and firmly, under all circumstances, to its spirit, as well as to its strict injunctions. Then, indeed, we may have a happy country, as well as a gratified Monarch.—The following is a Copy of the Letter alluded to, ad dr6sed to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant by Viscount Sidmouth, his Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department : " DUBLIN CASTLE, SEPT. 3, 1821. " My Loan—The time of the King's departure from Ire land being arrived,. I am commanded by his Majesty to express his entire approbation of the manner in which all Persons, act ing in Civil and Milltary Situations in the City of Dublin and its neighbourhood, have performed their several duties, during the period of his Majesty's residence in this part of the kingdom. " His Majesty is pleased to consider that, to your Excel lency his acknowledginents; are particularly due. He is con.: scious how much he owes to your Excellency's attentions and arrangements; and his Majesty gladly avails himself of this occasion of declaring the high sense which he entertains of the ability, temper, and firmness, with which your Excellency has unifbrmly administered the great trust which he has placed in your hands. " I am further commanded to state, that the testimonies of dutiful and affectionate attachment which his Majesty has re ceived from all classes and descriptions of his Irish Subjects, have made the deepest impression on his mind, and that he looks forward to the period when he shall revisit them with the strong est feeling of satisfaction. His Majesty trusts that, in the mean time, not only the spirit of loyal union, which now so generally exists, will remain unabated and unimpaired ; but that every, cause of irritation will be avoided and discountenanced, mutual forbearance and good will observed and encouraged, and a security be thus afforded for the continuance of that concord amongst themselves, which is not less essential to -his Majesty's happiness than to 'their own, and which it has been the chief object of his Majesty, during his residence in this country, to cherish and promote. " His Majesty . we'd knows the generosity and warmth - of heart which distinguish the character of his faithful people in Ireland ; and he leaves them with a heart full of affection to 'wards them, and with a confident and gratifying persuasion, that this parting admonition and injunction of their Sovereign will not be given in vain. " I have the honour to be, "'With great truth and regard, • . " My Lord, " Your Excellency's most obedient " And faithful Servant, " SIDMOUTH." To his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, &c. &c. &c. BRIGTITON, SEPT. 4.—The Duke of YORK honoured Mr. and Mrs. COUTTS yesterday, by taking dinner with. them at their South Parade residence. His Royal Highness has a select party of about three or four to dine with him in Marlborough-row to-day. The Duke has been on horseback as usual. It is still said that his Royal Highness purposes leaving us for London towards the end of the week.—We still live in the hope that the KING will land here from Ire land. The Palace is in a condition for the re ception of his MAJESTY, though, excepting a very few servants, it has no occupants at present. The annual nuisance of Bartholomew Fair ter, minated last night, with the customary scenes o riot and confusion. FOR THE SUN. OFFICIAL REDUCTIONS, To the Right Honourable, the LORDS COMMISSIONERS of HIS 31.AJESTY's TREASURY. MY Loans--I hold a small place under Go-' vernrnent, which I expect will be brought under the paring knife of the new superannuation Fund, if not under the pruning knife of reduction. The emoluments of my office-, this year, are 1151. I don't expect that in another year they will be so much. I am strictly prohibited from using my spare time to improve my income by other employments. It will be many years, in the usual course of promotion, before I can rise to a situation, which, in reality, will be more advan tageous than my present one. Now, my Lords, I would most respectfully, and most seriously ask you, whether it is becom ing the Government of this rich and powerful country, to hold out to me 11.5/. with one hand, and gripe back 5/. 15s. with the other, to help to keep me when I am worn out in her service. And when this time shall have arrived, is it be coming, my Lords, that I shall still be nibbled at .for a portion of the pension which w ill be half composed of your former parings. 1 hope, my Lords, you will pause before you consent to an expedient, which may ,cause a smile with Mr. Hums and his friends, but which to us is no laughing matter. I cannot, I will not believe, my Lords, that in your hearts you approve of such a measure. I verily believe, that the great outcry of economy ha's led you to imagine it is the wish of the country that the servants of Go vernme►:t shall be so treated. But, my Lords, I do not believe it is the public wish that we shall be meanly paid. On the contrary, lam confident that they wish us to be liberally and justly paid, in proportion to the talent, time, and labour required for each office; and that when we are worn down in their service, we should be permitted to retire upon pensions proportioned to the length and importance of those services, and wholly to be paid from the public purse. The 50th Geo. 111. has, with a truly Christian spirit, fixed the age of 60 when any officer who has . served 10 years and upwards may retire from the toils of public business, upon some portion of his previous salary, to give way to younger and more active men, and to alloW calm leisure in the even ing of life. •- I entreat you, my Lords ; to consider bow many of Us may be cut off by death before the age of GO arrives ! and then, how quickly in thickening progression will this sexagenarian remnant be diminishing in every subsequent year ! Surely, then, my Lords, the British nation will not grudge to supply, itt their sole charge, the staff which is to support their tottering steps, as this broken line of veterans shall hobble along the last and perilous arch of the bridge of life, — nicely proportioned as the strength of this staff' will be according to your quinquennial, scale of, service ! Instead of this petty Benefit-Club,Plan, allow me, my Lords, to entreat that you will turn your attention towards one of real humanity, which, I am sure, will meet with a cordial reception from every officer under Government. I. would propose that a small per tentage shall be re gularly deducted from all salaries, to afford re lief to the wives and families of those officers, who may be cut off in the prime of life, and be fore they can have had the means of making some provision for their maintenance. The allowance ,shall be so apportioned as not to weaken the force of that natural affection which prompts us to pro vide for our family ; and it should have some reference to the general conduct of the conjugal pair, so as not to offer premiums to imprudence or extravagance. No rules can be drawn so as to apply to the particulars of every case, but some general restrictions would be necessary. Several noble institutions of this kind have been formed for those classes of our fellow subjects that have come more into association with the highest ranks of society ; but this effort of benevolence has, tinfortunately, stopt - short of the civil officers of Government. I hope, my Lords, this will not always be the case. That some general plan of relief is much want ed, appears plain from this fact, that it has been, for many years past, and. is even now common, in defiance of the rules of various public Boards, for patrons of offices to pension the widows and chil dren of deceased' officers upon their successors. Earnestly imploring you to convert a niggardly scheme into one of pure benevolence, I have the honour to be, with feelings of deep reverence to wards your Lordships, A PUBLIC SERVANT. Extract of a letter from'Paris:— 4C It is la mentable to view the desperate extent.to which party spirit still esrntinues to be.carried on atnoog us. Au event which might have led to very se rious consequences, was on the eve of happening here yesterday. The son of Marshal Ney, a wild and headstrong youth, in a most insult ing manner, sent a challenge to the Duke of Wellington, couched in- the most offen sive and disgusting language, charging that il lustrious individual With the deliberate murder of his father. Of course the Duke took no notice of this insolence, but, wisely treated it with the contempt it deserved, and sent no answer what ever to it. The youth, exasperated at this result, and not being in want of partizans to urge him, to still more desperate means to gratify his ani mosity, determined, in conjunction with several Ex-Generals, to publicly insult the Duke at the Opera, whither he was going in the evening. For tunately, however, their intention got wind ; and the Duke, on being informed of it, relinquished his intention of going, and thus, for the present, the matter has terminated. It is not easy to con ceive the interest which this event has created among our political circles here ; every one is speaking of it, and it is supposed that it will give rise to some interference on the part of the Go vernment. The individuals concerned in it are at present out of the way." PRICE OF STOCKS TIIIS DAY AT TWELVE O'CI..OOK. Bank Stock shut Imp. 3 per Cents. tsi. 3 per Cent. Red. .., shut Irish 5 per Cents.

'5.--Orders have been ceived here respecting his MAJESTY, who is ex pected to-morrow morning to visit_ the Break- water. We received this morning the Paris Journals of Tuesday, which contain an article of consi derable interest from Constantinople, dated the Ist of August, but still leave us in doubt respect ing the result of the present negociattons be tween Turkey and Russia.—" For some days," says the Constantinople article, " the public " tranquillity has been again disturbed in this " capital. The Divan received dispatches from " the Peloponnesus on the 26th of July, which were not made public, ivhence the populace " augured that their contents were of an un " fav-ourable nature. It was reported that " the Greeks received reinforcements daily, " and had obtained great advantages ; and " that the new l'urkit , h fleet lfad . been corn " pletely destroyed." On the 27th assassinations and plunder were again the order of the day. The people, assisted by some Janissaries, broke open the shops and houses of the Greeks, mur dering more than 200 merchants, and it was not till evening that the Government. interfered to restore order. "On the 18th," continues the article, " an old man appeared who called him `' self a prophet, and announced the ruin of the " Ottoman Empire, according to a passage in the " 'Koran. It is impossible to 'describe the con " sternation of the superstitious populace, or " their boundless fury. They wished to recom " mence the massacres, but this time an armed 4C force dispersed the assembled multitude, and ," seized on the ola man,of Whom nothing more " has since been heard." On the 29th, some small bands paraded the streets, assassinating the few straggling Greeks whom they happened to meet ; but on the 30th, the scenes of the 27th were renewed, the Govern ment sheaving still more indifference than on the first day, and not taking the slighest step to pre. serve order. The 31st passed tolerably quiet ; but the most important paragraph in the article now follows : c‘ Up to the present moment," it adds, c 4 no " thing his transpired respecting public affairs, cc but the negociations between , the Reis-Effendi " and the Ministers of Foreign Powers still con " tinkle. It appears that France and England, " on one side, act in concert, so also do Austria " and Russia, on the other. But the Minister " of Spain, who has declared himself the ad " vocate of the Greeks, stands almost alone, " or at all events is supported only by the " Ministers of a few Powers of minor rank, and " who are not held in high consideration by the " Porte. The Ambassador of the Netherlands " has taken part with France and England. Some " points, it is said, had been settled, when the " Anglo-French party suddenly raised some dif " ficulties, which brought back the negociations " to their first state." We wish the cause of Greece had received the support of the higher powers, in conjunction with Spain : for we are convinced that if no better terms be obtained for the Greeks than are contained in the Russian Ultimatum, the present contest between them and the Turks will be a war of 'extermination, and be productive of scenes the mostisevolting to humanity. The Constantinople article concludes by saying, that ALL PACHA has renewed his ne gociations with the Divan, and that - overtures have been made by the Porte to ISMAEL, the Chief of the Albanians. The negociations with the Barbary Powers are admitted to have been successful, and applications, it is added, have been made to the Schah of Persia. The report of the Servian insurrection was current at Con stantinople, and the plague, it appears, had ma nifested itself ,among the Asiatic troops in the environs of tl.at capital. The following animated Proclamation from OD YSSiEUS (Ulysses), the Commander in Chief of the Macedonians, will be perused with con siderable interest, and cannot fail to produce a great effect among those to whom it is ad dressed : " Macedonians! Greeks ! the flag of liberty floats on the summits of Olympus and Pindus, The magnificent rrionnitientSi- the columns, and the tombs of our heroesi have ceased to exist; the mountains of our country, those eternal trophies of our gloryi alone have resisted the rikages of time. Macedonians ! , Childrenn v of Alexander; around, tjpsi,„inoun-; !*. taias we" are determined to asSemble, and -1 .. around them are we resolsW - *to conquei: or die ; those among you who shall perish'in this '': glorious contest, will add fresh splendour to the glory of their fathers, and this splendour will: . .:. . . . spread dismay into the hearts of the : barbarians...)

But in vairi. do the barbarians hide themselves behind the walls , of Salonica, Jenizzar, and Curalla, or their other places of shelter : these walls shall fall before the sword of the Macedonians, and we will avenge , the disgrace of our fathers, our wives, and o ur children, in the blood of the barbarians. We save always been the conquerors. Philippopolis is in our hands ; heroes captured this town in the space of a few dayi. Stagira is no more, the Greeks destroyed the birth-place of the .philosopher ; but why had it become the asylum of the barbs'. # . rians ? Some have bitten the dust, more will bite it ; but our numbers increase and will in- crease daily: • , " The Lord will have pity on those who have'. been immolated as victims at the altar of L 1" berty ; their brothers seeing, them, will implore in their behalf the mercy of the Eternal. To arms, Macedonians ! to liberty, Greeks of all countries ! -the world has its eyes fixed on you. " At the Camp on Olympus, July 20. (Signed) " ODYSS(F.LTS, Commander-in-Chie f of the Macedonians.
