TILE QUEEN IN SCOTLAND.

BLIJIWOWRIB, W&DNEIDAT Event:to.
An official notice wis received here on Saturday,
iotima•.ng that her Majesty intended to pass through
the village on her way from Perth to Balmoral.
Steps were immediately taken by the inhabitants to
show their loyalty by giving her Majesty a welcome
reception. When I arrived here, all was bustle in
niak,ng arches, erecting platforms, and decorating the
windows of the houses with flowers. Two fine
triumphal arches wt re erected, one in Perth-street, at
the entrance to the village, and another at Bricht-
bridge, where the hones end. That in Perth-street,
gaily decorated with heather, everg-cens, and flowers,
was surmounted by a floral crown and two flags, and
bore the motto, " Welcome," in gold letters. The
arch at the bridge was exactly similar, the motto
being, " Welcome back." Madmen's Inn, where her
Majesty changed horses, was tastefully decorated;
over the entrance was a fine floral crown. Many
windows in the village were also decorated, and
several platforms were erected along the streets.
The town council very properly secured the services
of a body of special constables, who, with the county
police, preserved order. Barricades were also pot up
ui various places, and especially opposite the deer of
the um, for the purpose of preventing pressure on the
royal carriage. A large number of persons arrived
from the surrounding country, and her Majesty's
route through the village was lined with a large mul-
titude, eager to obtain a glimpse of royalty. Some of
the windows were also well filled.

At h>lßput---- o'clock ezacify the royal carriage
='and ewe along to the ion amidst loud
,Nwhich the royal party graciously acknowledged.

The carrier was an open one, and as it remained about
five minutes at the door of the ion, those stationed
there, myself among the rest, obtained an excellent
view of the royal party. Her Majesty was looking
exceedingly well, card appeared to be quite recovered
from the fatigue of the preceding day's journey'. She-
riff Crawfurd spoke to Prince Albert, and mace known
that Mrs. Collins Wood, of Kettoch, waited to present
the royal children with some fruit and flowers. Her
Majesty having intimated her acceptance of them,Mrs.
Wood and Mrs. Murray, of Linters., appeared, and
the carriage door having been opened, handed in
some beautiful grapes, apricot!, and peaches, and two
fine bouquets. Her Majesty, the Prince, and the chil-
dren repeatedly bowed to the ladies; we observed
that her Majesty sent one of the bouquets to Princess
Alice, who was seated in another carriage. The party
then drove off, amidst enthusiastic applsuse. Several
other vehicles, part of the royal suite, came up be-
hind her Majesty. Sir George Grey, Sir James
Clark, Colonel Gordon, Mr. Anson, and Mr. Birch,
tutor to the Prince of Wales, were seated in a char-j-
bane. They all drove off after changing horses. The
utmost order was preserved, and all crushing and
ccoiusion prevented.
AU the gentlemen's sesta around and on the route
of her Majes were decorated with dogs.
At the Bridge of Gaily, six miles distant from Blair-
pwrie, her Majesty wits received by a party dream'
in the Highland garb. At this bridge there were too
triumphal arches. It was intended that only one
should have been erected, but there being some diffe-
rence of opinion between the proprietor. on each side
of the bridge as to the end on which it should be
erected, each put up one on his own side.
, The next stage was the SOW of Glenehee, where
a change of horses takes place; another at Castletown
of Braemar, and there will be a Seal change which
will conduct the Queen to Balmoral.
The morning was beautiful, and the atmosphere
without a cloud.

PRESENTS TO 1115 QUEEN.—The Lord Provost of
Glasgow, when on board the Victoria and Albert on Mon-
day afternoon, presented to Sir George Grey, for her Ma-
jesty's acceptance, the following volumed, exquisitely bound,
illustrative of the past and present history of Glasgow, viz..
" Sketches of the History of Glasgow," by James Pagan,
l 841; " Stnart's Views and Notices of Glasgow in Forster
Tunes," 1848; and Allan and Fergnerias " Views of Scot-
tish Scenery, chiefly on the Clyde and in the Western Dis-
tricts," 1849. Sir George Grey sees returned trout her
Majesty's cabin, end announced her Majesty's gracious et-
munee of the volumes, as being exceedingly well timed on
the eve of her Majesty's enuring the city.

THE QUEENS VISIT TO
IRELAND.

HER MAJESTY'S LETTER TO
THE LORD LIEUTENANT.

Our correspoodent writes as follows:
DUBLIN, AUGUST 16, 5.30.

I loge no time in transmitting to you the following
important letter from Sir George Grey to the Lord
Lieutenant, published in to-night's Ereniug Post:

- -
Royal Yacht, 13th August, 1849.
My Lord,—lt is with sincere pleasure that I perform the
duty which devolves upon me, in obedience to her Majesty's
eamtnand, of expressing to your excellency, at the close of
her Majesty's visit to Ireland, the heartfelt satisfaction which
she has derived from her reoeption in that portion of the
United Kingdom, and frcm the gratifying evidence which
universally presented itself, from the time of her Majesty's
arrival at Cork to that of her departure from Belfast, of
wens and devoted loyalty and attac►mment to her throne and
passe, and of affection for every brush of her family. The
einsumstances which have attended this visit cannot fail to
strengthen the deep interest which your excellency is aware
has long been felt by her Majesty in all that concerns the
happiness and welfare of her Irish people.
Her Majesty rejsiced to observe among the multitudes
who enthusiastically greeted her appearance the absence of
all distinction of class and party ; and she indulges the hope,
that the feelings elicited on this occasion may tend to pro-
mote among all her faithful subjects in Ireland that union
of heart and affection which is essential to the prosperity of
their common country.
I am further commanded to assure you of the satisfaction
with which her Majesty remarked the general regard and
esteem entertained for your excellency, which have been so
justly earned by your able, judicious, and impartial dis-
charge of the high trust confiled to you.
I am, with great truth and regard, my lord,
Your excellency's obedient servant,
(Signed) 0. (lax:.

SPAIN.

Our Madrid letters are of the 10th and 11th of

August.
The Gaieties of the 9th and 10th contain the new
regulations in connexion with the new law on mines.
That of the 10th also contains a statement concerning ,
the silk-worm industry in the province of Huelva, in
Aragon. It results that in 19 villages there are
327,700 mulberry-trees which have not yet been
classified, and 32,418 classified, consisting of 74.170
' roes mulberry-trees, 199,030 many-stalked idena,
38,380 of the country, with an annual produce of
6,163 pounds.
Narvaez arrived on thenight of the 9th. Shoals of
the needy and the hungering after place !listened to
see him, but he was not.at home to anybody.
Nlon's house was beleaguered likew'se. No hing
as yet resolved. It is assured, however, that some
modification has taken place in the list of future
ministers. Jose Joatquim de Mora is spoken of as
minister of finance. Nothing else is known.
The municipal corporation of Barcelona, having re-
fused to carry out the orders of government for the
quints, or military conscription, has been suspended
by the political chief, in accordance with the desire of
the captain-general. This is "another guess ques-
tion," tar more important than the tariff bill. The
Catalonians do not like to pay "their pound of flesh"
to the queen's army. Yon may get plenty of volun-
teers from this densely populated province, but
the military conscription has never been successfully
implanted there. There is some talk of a duel be-
tween Mon and the father of the young Garrida,
editor of the .Espana. The custom of duels has become
so mach a matter of course between newspaper editors,
that Mon hired a kind of gladiator, an officer of the
army, to take the fighting department of his print.
This gentleman wounded young (torrid', Aire ills
it:Arrow.
On the 10th the council of ministers sat during
five boars, subsequently to a long visit to Ner-
vier by Mon, in which very high words were need.
On the 11th, another co'ncil took place. There are
rumours that the thing will be arranged after all.
The fact is, they are afraid of each other. Mon and Pidal
have both offered their resignations. Nervaer, previous
to the union of the council on the 11th, had some
more burning words with his colleague of tke finances ;
and, after one of his uncontrollable bursts of anger,
went to bed with a violent ebolic, which has caused
him to be much more moderate in his demeanour.
In case of Mon's fall, Nerve's, as I have said, will
take the finance department, aiding himself with the
counsel of special men. Olivan and Pastors are
spoken of. Pastors is a friend and ex-factotum of
Salamanca.
In Barcelona the captain-general and political
chief, after nominating a new municipality, caused
the drawing of lots for the
.quintas or conscripts to
take place. That business is being carried on with
great order, no one being inclined to Lee the immense
, military recce under arms everywhere where the con-
scription is being carried into effect.

TURICIT.—We hate said that the Porte had re-
fused the Boohoo authorisation to allow the troops
to peas through the Berrien principalities. The
Austrian gronusent has made the samedenand, and
been refused.

new, but the stetement that Gorgey had defeated
Peekiewitch remained uneontratlicted. A piece of
court ecandcl was excline the quid muses of the capi-
tal, and giving rise to pktioal speculation. I, was
confidently asserted that a " ptinful ecene " had bren
witnessed at Schtinbrunn between "two blood rels-

dos sof the highest rank." In plain English, a vio-
lent altercation had taken place between the Emperor
and the Archduchess Sophie, in the course of wci‘h
the latter had, with her own delicate hand, admini-
stand a box on the ear to her imperial relative. 'l'he
dispute is said, to have originated in a difference of
opinion respecting the war in Hungary—the emperor
arguing strmgly in favour of peace, and the voice of
the lady being " still fur war." To this indecorum
is attributed the departure of the Archduchess from
court. This is of minor eciasequence, but there is au
impression that Schwartzenberg may have to follow
her ere long. It begins to be believed that in the
difference of opinion respecting the policy of continu-
ing the war in Hongaxy, which divides the cabinet,
aid to whieb our Vienna correspondent lately ad-
netedySebnestingste—eliepesed Is side with the Em-
peror and Krause who lean to peace. Intrigues ate
spoken of, but no reliance can be placed in these

vague rumours.
One thing is certain, that the resolution of minis-
ter, to make the paper they have issued, on the credit
of Hurgarian and Italian resources, a compulsory
legal tender at Vtenns, has excited great alarm and
dissontet.t among the commercial classes in that
city. There, too, as in London, the movements
of the great congress of the Rothschild
family are anxiously watched. It will be
interesting to the constituents of Baron Rothschild to
learn what the prevailing impression at Vienna is re-
specting the probability of the family making, at this
moment, advances to the Austrian government. The
universal belief is, that nothing could induce the
Rothschild, to enable Austria to increase its debt to
them ; that the great object of the family congress is
to make such arrangements as may ensure them
against any serious loss in the not improbable con-
tingency of an act of bankruptcy on the part of the
government already so deep in their books.
There are rumours of a great battle, which is said
to have been fought in the neighbourhood of Gross-
wardein between the forces of Paskiewitch and the

Magyars under Gorgey and Dembinski.
The direct communication with Teeth continues to
be suspended, which gives occasion to the prevalence
of an unwonted number of reports. Among these is
the retaking of Pesth by the Hungarians. The out-
posts of.the Magyars are pushed up to Sommerein, in
the Schutt, about 12 English miles from Prtasburg.
The post to Pesth from Vienna is seat through
Ftinfkirehen to the south of the Platten-see. The corps
of Nugent has occupied Fiinflcirehen, and is therefore
now acting in immediate ur.ion with the few troops
which the Ban has left at Esseg. But up to the pre-
sent time no official intelligence has been published
which confirms the supposition of the main Austrian
army under Haynsu being in communication with
Esseg. Therefore, as yet there is no positive com-
munication with Pesth, except through Dallies ; and
even this is not quite certain, as the latest despatches
from Paskiewitch d 3 not iake any menticn of the
state of his communications with Pesth.
It is given out that the emperor will set out on a
visit to lonspritck on the 18th, to attend the opening
of the railroad from Cilli to Laibach, next month, and

then go to Trieste.
Notwithstanding the strong reinforcements which
have been gathered from Bruen, Linz, and other
places, and sent into Hungary, there is no account of
the least progress having been made as yet
in expelling the Magyars from Raab or any
of the other posts which they took, either on
the Schutt or on the right bank of the Danube,
in consequence of their victorious sally of the
3rd inst. from Comorn. On the contrary, hus-
sars have appeared under the very walls of Press-
burg, and the greatest alarm prevails, not only there
but even in the Auiertan capital. Many families
' daring the few last dlr. s have left Vienna for places
to the west and north, influenced beyond doubt by
the comparatively defenceless state of the capital,
while the forcrs under the command of Klapka, re-
madly underrated, are now perhaps no less exagge-
rated. The behaviour of the Hungarian troops in
Raab showed their high discipline, and formed an
'honourable contrast to the violence of the imperial
marauders in the same town, who plundered, sacked,
and murdered under the eyes of their very emperor.
No private property was touched, and none of the
German inhabitant, few of whom, indeed, remained,
were molested on account of the demonstrations of
welcome with which they had received the Austr7aa
troops. Kossuth notes became once more the current
money.
The Austrian oat-puts were still at Wieselburg.
On the left bank the Magyars had occupied Schutt-
Szerdeelly. The poor Jews of Szered have been
visited with a fine of 5,000 ilorihs for having bought
some of the spoil which was amassed by the Magyars
in their late razz;a.
At Pressburg preparations were making fordefence.
The inhabitants were pressed into working at throw-
ing up entrenchments. The wooden ro f was stripped
off the castle, and replaced by a platform with
parapets armed with cannon. Several hundred
workmen were empl yed on this task. Troops were
continually pouring through the town into the Schutt
and crossing over to the right bank to Hungarian
Altenburg. The Soh/Wen/retool states the whole
force of the Austrians in and about Presburg at
26,000 or 27,000 men. General Czorich, the com-
mat.der of this corps, is at Pressburg, with the general
of division Prince Colloredo, and the brigadier-
general Baron Barer). General Count Nobili is at
Wieselburg, the brigade of Pott at Sacred, that
of Liebler at Sommerein. The late investing
corps about Comorn consisted of 13 battalions of in-
fantry and the regiment of Civallart Uhlans. The
rein'orcements arrived are: the brigade of Chinzola,
from Vienna, consisting of 3 battalions of infantry,
battalion of jagers, and one detachment of cuirassiers ;
do brigade of Lederer at Kormend, 4 battalions : be-
sides these, Vienna and the provinces have sent 9
battalions of infantry, 2 battalions of jagers, and a
division of Emperor's cuirassiers. The corps under
General Cz irich is therefore increased to 29 battalions'
of infantry, and 3 of chasseure, with ten squadrons of
cavalry and a considerable number of guns. The
military journal does not mention what the amount
of artillery is, perhaps because this is the weak side
of the corps. Czorich lost the greater part of his
r Brack
the 3rd. A came has been established at
on the frontier, and in every house of tae vil-
lages abmt are quartered from 20 to 30 soldiers of
flllllllTh
Two matrimonial alliances are spoken of in Vienna
as in process of arrangement, which affect the rela-
tions of the house of Saxony to those of Prussia and
Austria. Prince Albert, son of Prince John of Saxony,
is to be married to Charlotte, daughter of Prince
Albert of Prussia ; and Maria, daughter of the same
'Saxon prince, is talked of as the future Empress of
Austria. The matches are mentioned in connexion
with the journey of the Queen of Prussia to Dresden
and Pillnitz. The reader need hardly to be re-
minaed that the Queens of Prussia and Saxony, the
wife of Prince John of Saxony, and the Archduchess
Sophia, are two pairs of twin-sisters, to whose acti-
vity is traced much that goes on in the political
world. If these Bavarian princesses confined the
sphere of their operations to match-making, many a
minister in Austria, Prussia, and Saxony would be
rid of endless importunities, which never fail to ac-
company petticoat government.
A supplement of the Wiener Zeitung contains the
following bulletin of Lilders. We think it almost super-
fluous to caution our readers against implicitly be-
lieving. anything that appears, officially or non-offi-
ciallyon this Vienna paper. The document is not
signed by the general or by any other person:
" Official communihations from the bead-quarters of

the imperial Russian General von Luders. Schassburg,
Aug. 1.
" On the 31st July an important action took place
near &hamburg, between a part of the Russian fifth
army-corps and the insurgents, commanded by Bern
in person, and which ended in the comple'e defeat of
the enemy. The first cannon-shot from the en. my
unfortunately hit the highly honoured general and
hid of the quarter-mester-geceral staff, Skariatin.
He died an hour after, deeply regretted by the army
and all those who had an opportunity of admiring
his strategic qualities, his chivalrous soul, and amiable
bearing. When the battle was near its termination,
two divisions of Uhlans advanced against the infantry
stationed before Weisskirchen, attacked them with
the lance, and so successfully that a part were slain
on the spot, part during their flight. The Uhlman I
took bloody emus for the fall of General Skariatia,l
for more than a thousand bodies covered the field
of action. Fright and terror seized the insurgents,
ind they hurried in wild flight to Kerr stur (to
the north-east of Schafaburg), pursued by the
Cossacks. Seven cannons, two flags, a great quantity
of ammunition, many waggons, and much baggage,
includirg Bem's travelling equipage, with important
writings, the valuable sabre of honour which the
Klausenburg citizens hid given him, and 500 nri-
Bone s fell into the hands of the RIIIMIIII.B. Bem
saved" himeelf with difficulty from the pursuing
Costae, and is said to have been wounded by
the stab of a lance. The loss of the Russians
amounts to 41 dead, 106 wounded, among the
latter 6 officers. General Duk repulsed, on
the 30th of July, at Stein, from 3,000 to 4,000
insurgents, with 9 canunn, when they lost 15
men, towards Udvarhely. The insurgent force that
entered Moldavia on the 23rd of July, of 2,000 in-
fantry and 1,000 cavalry, with five cannon, is still on
Moldavian territory; measures have been already
taken to frustrate their endeavours."
The whole of the above smells strongly of the
Vienna news manufactory. A Russian general does
not say Uhlana first and then change that ward for
Cossacks; neither would he have said "fell into the
bands of the Russians," but "fell into our hands,"
nor would he have known so much about Bern's tra-
velling carriage and sabre of honour, nor spoken of
the insurgent force in Moldavia as he is here repre-
routed.
PRUSSIA.—Our correspondent writes:
BERLIN, Ave. 14.
The Chambers d:d not sit to-day.
Yesterday an important motion WAS brought for-
ward in the First Chamber by Camphausen. It is
necessary to state that the 111th article of the l'rus-
elan troops, octroyee in December of last year, is this :
lithe constitution established for Germany shculd render
necessary alleges in the present constitution (that is, the
Prussian constitution of Dec. 5), these changes shall be pro-
posed by the king, and be laid before the Chambers at their
next meeting. The Chambers will then determine whether
they will sanction the ordinances or not.
Camphausen's motion turns on the difference be-
tween the Frankfort constitution and the constitution
of the three kings, and is formulated thus: " 'fhst
the 111th article of the constitution of December 5,
IxlB, be applied to the constitution of May 28," or,
that the octroyee constitution of the Prussian govern-
ment be accepted as of the some authority as the
Frankfort constitution.
The Reichstag is to meet on the 18th of October.
The elections are to take place on the 26th of Sep-
tember. This will come cut in one of the rest Staals-
Anzciyers.

HAMBURG, Aro. 14.
Yesterday, when the 2nd battalion of the 15th re-
giment of Prussian infantry arrived, from the
late seat of war, the people gathered in great
misses and pelted them with stones. Another
party tried to shut the gate by which they
entered against them. The soldiers used their arms
against the people, and there was a regular battle,
in which of course the military loss was compara-
tively insignificant, while that of the people was con-
siderable. Ten soldiers were carried off to the hospi-
tal ; five rounds were fired by the soldiers. During
the night a part of the biirgherwebr united with the
excited multitude to build barricades close to the
Riding-school, where the battalion was quartered.
At these barricades fresh conflicts ensued. Towards
the morning the barricades were cleared away, and
later everything was quiet.
