/lii MAJ ESI Y'S EMBARKATION.

The statement that his Majesty would embark at
Greenwich soon after 8 o'clock on Saturday morn-
ing, caused thousands of persons to assemble at the
diflin-ent wharfs and landing-claces, along shore, as
early as six o'clock. The promenade at the Custom-
house was crowded with passengers, anxious to get
on beard the steam boats, which were soon filled ;
and at half-past seven they antrtoond, in order to
reach Greenwich in time to see his Majesty. At
the Tower, the City State Barge, decked out with u
profusion of fli,„ws, and a band of music on board,
received the Aldermen and their ladies. At half-
past seven the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the
Lady Mayoress, and part of his family, in his private
carriage, arrived ; and soon after his I,Grilship had
taken water, the /?Jitof Sovereign stein:-boat was
attached to the City Barge, and towed from the
Tower stairs.

'1 he ladies displayed a prollisimi of jewels. and
were all in full dress, as also were the gentlemen.—
The city cavalcade, stcan►boatr, cuticrs, galleys,
and an immense number of vessels of every descrip-
tion arrived olf Greenwich at ten mlnutcs pact eight.
The band instantly struck up the national air of
" God save the Klig," which was lucidly cheered
by the immense assuuhlage callecle un tke shores
and the river.

The City Marshals and officers were placed on
board the barge, but his Lordship's servants and
the Marshaltnen were in the Royal Scvereta, with
scarcely any other persons on board.
Great disappointment was experienced by the
company, on their arrival at Greenwich, when they
were informed his Majesty would not embark until
two o'clock, as man 7 of the ladies had risen so early
as fbur, in order to decorate their persons, and be
time for the sight.
An accident happened to the Goldsmilis' barge,
on approaching Greenwich stairs, which had like to
have been attended with serious consequences; the
rowers, anxious to approach the City Barge, ran
foul of one of the King's craft; in the concus-
sion, the figure head of the barge was knocked dr,
and fell into the river, the plate-glass windows were
broken, and the stern also much injured ; fortunately
there were no ladies on board, the barge principally
occupied by a number of the gentlemen belonging
to the Common Council, and the Livery, all dressed
in their Livery Gowns.
The interior of Greenwich Hospital was crowded
with respectable .people, and several of the horse
guards were ranged inside ; the fmt guards did duty
at the entrance, and kept the foot and carriage way
clear against the arrival of his Majesty. Very few
colours of Foreign nations were displayed ; and the
only one that attracted attention was the Turkish
frigate, lying off Deptford ; she was handsomely
decorated, and the crew dressed in their national
costume.

No extraordinary preparations were made along
the Kent Road. A t Deptford, a flag was suspended
across the road, with the inscription, " God save
the King! " and a few laurel-leaves were displayed
hum the windows of some of the houses.
GREEP:WICII, HALF-PAST Two.

All is impiticn:c ut the no:I-arrival ur his Ma-
jesty. The crowd has increased tamest to soft cation
on shore, and the number of vessels aseinlited on
the river is beyond example. The most absurd
rumours are afloat, in consequence of his Majesty's
absence.
CARLTON PALACE, lIALF•PAST Two.
The King has not yet left Carlton Palace, nor is
expected to do so for an hour. It was ebb tide this
morning at seven o'clock—it is now almost low pa-
ler, so that the tide will be against vessels proceed-
ing down the river till between seven and eight this
evening. Oa the cause of the dcl..y, Speculation
is at least equal to the anxiety of the multitude,
who have been waiting at Givenwieli from seven
o'clock tks morning.
QUARTER BEFORE THREE.
MS Majesty has this moment let the l'ala,e ia
his travelling carriage, escorted by a party of the
Guards.

GREENWICH, HALW•PAST THREE OTLOCE.
HIS Majesty has just arrived, and itumcdiaiely
went on board the royal yacht, under a salute from
the guns and the vessels in the river, and the squa-
dron set sail directly, Me wind and tide against ti
The Lard Mayor's barge, towed by the Royal
Sorcre4,,a, steam packet, preceded the King's yuteh,
(which was towed by the Coma) in order to char the
way—as the Royal squadron passed down Blackwall,
&c. &c. it was cheered by the surrounding multi.
tudes ashore and afloat, and salutes from the butte
ries on every point—at half-post seven tiny %%ere off
Gravesend—at half-past nine they arrived at the
Nore, where the Lord Mayor took leave of the
King. It was then too late to olla the customary
salute : for no guns arc ever fired on board of Kiag's
ships atier sunset. But the twelve vessels were most
brilliantly illuminated by a pro+',,virr. of lights at all
the port holes Tile sight was beautiful ; it was
1 early distinguished by persons on the opposite
tkotes of Essex and Kent, at the distance of twelv.:

r In

miles. At half past four yesterday morning the Ropil
ups,lron weighed anchor, and prnecreard to sea,
amidst the firing of runs from the wen of war
stationed at the Little Kure and the butteries of
Sheerness.
