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 pteseribed, 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.

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. Spain is equal to her own defence, and
France is too well aware of this to entertain the vi-
sionary notion of forcing a government upon her
spinet her expressed desire, by the ungracious
logic of musket and bayonet.

Oo Wednesday arrived at Portsmouth the French
brigantine L'Utile. 100 tons, four guns, and 30
men, in cha►ge of Lieut. C. ELLIOTT, which was
captured by the Iphigenia, Sir ROBERT MENDS,
in the river Bonny, coast of Africa, as stated in •
fo►mer Paper. The French brig Petite Betvey, of
Nantes, 148 tons, four guns, and 23 men, in charge

of stock, they might, by their intruded met tiugs,

A Lisbon mail has arrived, with papers from
that city to the 4th instant. The Report of the
Committee sppointed in June to consider a
iroper km of government for the Brazils hay-
ng been rejected, a new Report on the subject
.as been prepared by the Committee, and was
read in the sitting of the Cortes on the 2ii. The
i!sn consists of ten articles, of which the first states,
et there shall be in the kingdom of the Brazils a
Jegition of the Executive Power, to winch all the
'minces of that kingdom shall be subject, and
which ,hall he called " The Regency of the King
em of Brazil," with the title of Majesty, and to re.
bide in the most convenient part of Brazil which the
lea shall prescribe. The Regency is to consist of
seven members, chosen by the Klan, from a er►.
tsin Dumber of members elected by the provinces.
The pion was ordered to be printed. These Papers
iuntsiii no news from Brazil.

Estmct from a letter from an Officer of his
Majesty's ship Pyramus, dated Freeman's Bay,
Antigua, July 4. leg:: :
Webers little news here ; the old islands are is a wretch-
ed state, dm crops is this island and Barhadoes not being
sore thus one-third of an average crop. Most of the
mates are derply mortgaged, and so few of the planters are
aWe to pay t►e interest, that many of the meet estates are
advertised formal', which, in the pretest scarcity of mosey,
■art be sold at a greet loss. The Bill pending in Patti..
meat, fur opening the ports to the Vested States, it is
thought will be very beniellcial; but noshieg but rain,
which is mach wanted, and good crops, ran /retinal!, Re-
lieve them. The middle of this moot► the Pyramus goes
to Trinidad ; the Esk to Bermuda ; ■ad the Surisiant ton
Trinidad sad Demerara. Them see the only ships sow on
'St Miedwsrd station. Captain Godfrey returns to the Seri-
atim ; Capons Walcet,of the Causative, to the Tyne, posted
Mem home; Captain Herbert, from the Icarus, to t►e Car.
swiss; and Captain Charles Crole quite the Surliest', and
le manned to the learns. This ship is now very healthy,
Wrist only four men at she hospital."
