The Council bloke up at four o'clock, after
which his Majesty set off in his carriage for Dal-
keith, accompanied by the Duke of Dorset mid
the Marquis Conynghans. At his Majesty's ar-
rival and departure, and along the road through
the Park, lie was cheered by the multitude of peo-
ple assembled, and politely and repeatedly bowed
in return for the expressions of attachment which Ire
received.
We were glad to learn that the King was in town
on Friday evening, to see the illuminations, which
would no doubt afford him gratification.
The Earl of Fife and Lord Ravensworth bad the
honour of dining with his Majesty on Friday, and
on Saturday the Earl of Fife had els.) that honour.
It is said that his Majesty expressed himself
highly gratified at the decorous and respectful
manner in which he was received by his Scottish
subjects, on Thursday last, and that he said to
Sir Walter Scott, " 1 have always heard that the
Scotch were a proud nation, and they well may be
so; they seem to be • nation of gentlemen."
The Sutherland Highlanders were on the day of
his Majesty's entry stationed at Holyrood, as his
Majesty's Highland guard at the Palace. They
were commanded by Lord Francis Leveson Gower,
accompanied by his Esquires—Major Mackay, as
representing Lord Reny ; Duncan Mat hirson, Esq.
advocate, the chief of that name, holding under
the Sutherland family ; and William Mackenzie,
E.q. ; Messrs. Skene, Gordon', and Ruchannan,
walked as his ogee. The men were under the im-
mediate command of the Chief of the Clan Gunn,
another of the clans holding under Ban Moir /hear
chatatbh. and her ancestors.
The Hon. William Monk has sent an additional
supply of bucks for his Majesty's table.

We have to apologise to-day to our readers for
the delay of our publication, and for many inac.
cumin; which may be in the list of Court preset'.
Cations. We had made every arrangement for ob-
taining au accurate and early account of these, and
were favoured in every possible way by the extreme
liberality and politeness of all the gentlemen con-
nected with the Court, The following 'holt expla-
nation, which we ■re obliged to make in our own
justification, will account for our disappoint-
ment. It is well known that those who are pre-
sented at Court are provided with cards containing
their designations, and by whom presented. These
cards are preserved as the only authentic re-
cord of the Court proceedings; and it was under-
stood that all the newspaper reporters were to
have equal access to them. This arrange-
ment was frustrated by Sir Patrick Walker, who
having some concern with a newspaper, got hold of
the bag containing the list of names, and carried it
off, on an express understanding, however, that he
was to communicate with the other newspapers.
We applied to Sir Patrick on Saturday night,
when he informed us that we might either have
the list of names on paying clerk's fees, or that
we might have access to them on Sunday at two
o'clock in the afternoon. Weof course agreed to pay
any fee he might choose to exact, that being no ob-
ject, and requested the list to be sent without de-
lay. Tins, Sir Patrick, on Sunday forenoon, said
he could not accomplish, and we were, therefore,
after nearly a whole day's delay, obliged to employ
our own clerks to copy as much as possible, on
Sunday saleroom'. 11,e are placed, by this conduct
of Sir Patrick's, at the mercy of a rival newspaper,
from which we cannot expect favour, and may be
glad if we get bare justice. In the present case we
have not obtained thin, amid have therefore been
greatly delayed, as the public will see, not from
any fault of our own. We have the satisfaction to
add, that due precautions are taken against any
future proceedings of this uature.-4 kdiaburgh

the Duke of Dorset and Lord Graves. His Majesty
woic a Field-Marshal's uniform. His demeanour was
firm and dignified; lint he has not di...played that flow
aspirin' which characterised him during his visit to
Dublin. Mr. Peel and Lord Melville are in daily
communication with Nlinisters in London, and it is
said that the Earl of Liverpool will not repair to
Eltiburgh, that the King has (according to rumour)
submitted the situation of the Government entirely
to his Lordship, and intimated that he will leave
Scotland on M'ednesday week. so that it is probable
all the arrangements for the late Foreign Secretary's
successor will be ready fur his Majesty's appruba.

The arrangements at Holyrnod House this day
•ere on the usual scale for Court cereenouies. The

ville presented the address liom the University of
St. Andrew. They were all most graciously re-
ceived, had the honour of kissing hands, and were
returned suitable a►►d flattering answers by his Ma-
jesty, upon the presentation of their several ad-
dresses. Sir John Sinclair presented a copy of his
statistical works in splendid binding. To-morrow
the royal drawing-room will take place; on Wed-

civic banquet ; Friday the Peers' ball. Ou Sun-
day the King will attend divine service at the church
of St. Giles, then a review; and the ball of the Ca-

monies. The bustle here is now entirely confined
to people of rank, the public at large appear to
take very little interest in Court festivities.

FRANKFORT, AUGUST 14.
EXTILAcT oir A LETTER FROM ST. PETERSBURGH,
JULY 8 (20TH).

" M. de Poletics, oar Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States, hav-
ing long since requested to be recalled on account
of his ill health, he is to be succeeded
,by Baron
Theyll, "ho formerly filled the same post at Lisbon.
This circumstance will a little disconcert the Times
and other Journals, which are the organs of the
same opinions, and which eagerly gave extracts
from the correspondence between Mr. Niftier and
Mr. Adams, on the Ukase of 4 h (16) September,
1821, by which his Msjesty the Emperor has regu-
lated the interest of the Russian American Com.
pally. For though the discussion was carried on
in very temperate language on both sides, it was,
notwithstanding, inferred from it that a rupture
between the two parties was inevitable.
Thus the men who calculate their future ex-
istence only in present disorders, and who would
carry the torch of war into all parts of the world
to rise from the obscurity, which, however, they will
not escape, have once more taken their hopes for re-
alities; and the best proof of the good tinderstaud-
ing that continues to subsist between Russia and
the United States, is doubtless the nomination of a
new Minister, in the person of Baron de Thuyll
de Seraskirchen."—(Jostrital de Frankfurt, Au-

BUCHAREST, JULY 21.

The appointment of the new Hospodar giver
great satisfaction both to the Boyars and the people
in general, as they hope to be thereby relieved from
the tyranny of the Turkish Commanders. The
I'echs here has received orders from Silistria to
leave Wallachia with his troops; and the latter have
in fact received orders to be ready to march; but
now there is one circumstance in the way, and that
is, that the Pacha must first give them their arrests
of pay, amounting to 500,000 piastres. We
have therefore good reason to fear that so long as
this sum is not to be collected from the country,
lie will not depart with his troops. From the
moment that the &mutt came, the Pacha ceased to
meddle in the civil affairs of the country; his func-
tions are now restricted to the military. The troops
on the other hand seem but little inclined to go
away, because they think they belt have to light
the Insurgents in the Mores. It was usual for the
Greek Princes, when they were nominated by the
I'orte, to bring with them 80 or 100 needy Greek
&mikes from Constantinople, to whom the clnef of-
fices in the State were given. This was the reason
that the poor people groaned under the Greek Go-
vernment. The native Boyars dared not make any
opposition. They now see themselves at once de-
livered from these blood-suckers, and have well-
founded hopes that all the money will not, in fu-
ture, be carried out of the country by the Greeks.
It is reported that the metropolitan Dionysius,
who is still et Crunstadt, has received orders from
the Prince immediately to return to Bucharest to
resume the function* of his important office. Whe-
ther he will return seems doubtful, because he is
accused of having aided the Heiansts by a contri-
bution of 10,000 piastres.

THE BIUTI S ft PRESS.

LONDON,
FRIDAY, AuovsT 23, 1822.

It will be recollected by our readers that soon
after the death of the late Marquis of LONDON.
DERRY we hazarded a conjecture that the Foreign
Office would probably be confided to the Duke of
WELLINGTON, and at the same time we assigned
such reasons as had occurred to us in support of
our supposition. We now find this conjecture re-
turned upon us by some of our contemporariev is
the shape of a positive assertion that the office has
been actually offered to the Duke ; and that the
Ministers have further determined, that while the
Duke of WELLINGTON presides over our foreign
relations, the management of the House of Com-
mons is to be intrusted in " divided empire" to
Mr. Put and Mr. HuseissoN. The probability
of the appointment is no less soon now than
when we first started the supposition, but oar
readers may be assured that no absolute arrange.
ment will be made upon the subject until his MA-
JESTY shall have met his Cabinet Council iu Lon-
don. There can be no doubt that the present
Ministers will stick to place, notwithstanding the
loss of the most efficient member of their party—
the individual to whom they all looked for firmness
in decision and promptitude in action. But if
Parliament had happened to be sitting at the sad
moment of Lord LONDONDERRY'S death, it is pro-
bable that the difficulty now experienced of finding
a successor for the Noble Marquis would have
but a momentary existence. The ranks of the
Opposition are rich in talent for foreign diplomacy.
and in the hands of Lord GREY or Lord GREN-
'Yu LE, or the Marquis of LANSDOW N, the political
interests of Great Britain would not be betrayed by
personal vanity, or be sacrificed to the ambition of
foreign despots.
What the wishes of the majority of the nation
are upon this subject cannot be a matter of any
doubt. The existing Ministers, even while they
enjoyed the assistance, we might almost say the
protection of Lord LONDONDERRY, have been re-
peatedly deiloiniced at county amid other public
meetings throughout every part of the united
kingdom as incapable of promoting the true inte-
rests of the empire. They have not merely been
indifferent to the unparalleled sufferings of the
people, ever since the close of the war, and have
faded to achieve any measure calculated to relieve
their miseries, but they have vexatiously resisted
every attempt that has been made from any other
quarter to alleviate the public burdens. They
have struggled to nisintain the highest possible
amount of taxation, that they might not be com-
pelled to limit their own extravagance, and thereby
diminish the extent of their patronage, end every
reduction that has been effected through the medium
of Parliament bas flowed from the perseverance and
energy of the Opposition. The Ministers have
been goaded along like the unwilling emblem of
patient suffering, and have evinced that spirit of
endurance which the father of poetry ascribes to
the undignified quadruped to which we allude, bat
beaten by their adversaries, they sliew surprising
dexterity in assuming to themselves the whole
credit of the fruits that arise from the victory.
During the last Session of Parliament they showed
the most ludicrous uncertainty of conduct, and
proved that they had no fixed principle of action ;
but it is not improbable that the calamity which
terminated so fatally the career of their late leader,
might have been covertly operative during a large
bpourtetiotnheofiutchoe Session.
