Yinett .ore pleasure that we this day congratulate our
ur readers on the safe arrival of his Majesty

yesterday in Leith Roads. lt is an event unexampled in our
time, and will be remembered for generations. It is with feel-
ings of national pride that we shall this day witness the entry
of his Majesty into his ancient city, so long the residence of his
ancestors, and now to be graced by the presence of a Monarch,
acknowledged to be the greatest Prince in Christendom, whe-
ther we consider the empire over which he rules, or his own
accomplishments. , -
At an early hour in the morning the Calton-hill was crowded
with spectators, anxiously looking out for the royal squadron,
but the morning being hazy it was nine o'clock before they
were descried, about ten miles below Inch Keith. Immedi-
ately on their being observed the greatest bustle took place in
every quarter of the city, and all the public bodies began to
make arrangements to proceed to meet our: Sovereign. At
eleven o'clock the haze on the water began to clear away, and
the Royal George yacht, on board of which was his Majesty,
was distinctly visible, with the James Watt and Comet steam-
packets towing her up„ The-other ships of the royal squadron,
viz. the Phaeton frigate, the ligaria sioop of war, the Prince
Regent yacht, and the Calliope, and Cameleon, tenders
to the royal yacht, were astern of' the. Royal George, and kept
-firing salutes, which were answered by the Dover flag-ship and
Forte frigate in the Roads. When near, Inch Keith the Comet
steam vessel threw off the Royal George, which was then towed
to the Roads by the James Watt.. Ahout half-past one the
two vessels passed Leith in fine style, and at two cast anchor
in the ,Roads, when a salute was tired from the Battery.—
During the progress of the royal squadron up the Frith, the
Castle and Calton Hills were crowded with . people, and along
the shore at Leith and Newhaven. numbers were assembled,
who repeatedly cheered, welcoming the approach of the royal
visitor.

As soon as it was ascertained that the royal squadron was
coming up the Frith, the roads to Leith were crowded with
people hastening down to witness the disembarkation, which it
was supposed would take place at three o'clock. A great
number of Gentlemen on horseback, and many splendid equi-
pages also went for the same purpose, or to join in the proces-
sion to the city, but a heavy rain came, on at two o'clock, and
there being no appearance that the weather, would clear up in
the course of the afternoon,, his Majesty. determined to remain
on board till this forenoon. A boat with a Naval Officer was
dispatched to Leith to communicate this information,
_and the
Officer immediately on landing informed the assembled multi-
tude of his Majesty's intention. Great numbers of people,
who had come from Edinburgh, lingered for, some time at the
place of disembarkation, doubting the information, but the
rain continuing to fall in torrents, and the rain receding, they
at length gave credence to the fact and returned to the city.
The. Magistrates of Leith, the Constables, and Incorporated
Trades, were in readiness at an early hour. The latter made a
very fine appearance, and displayed some elegant bannela.
From the time the royal yacht came to an anchor till late in
tile evening, steam boats were constantly Plying round her,
filled with passengers, who cheered as they passed.. His Ma-
jesty at different times appeared upon deck, and most grace-
fally'bowed in return for the congratulations he received. He
appeared in good health and excellent spirits.
Besides the men of war and royal yachts, his Majesty was
attended by. the Admiralty and Trinity yachts, and the fol-
lowing members of the Royal Yacht Club :—The Hon. Mr.
Pelham, in his ship the Falcon ; Sir William Curtis, in his
yawl Die Jonge Vrow Rebecca Maria; Mr. Bacon, in his
schooner the Hussar ; and Mr. Smith, in his cutter -the Orion ;
besides several others, we understand, not yet arrived:
In the evening, the following Gazette Extraordinary was
published :
InaCeal THE EDINBURGH GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY.
IVedriesday. August 14.
His Majesty having been pleased to fix the hour of twelve
o'clock to-morrow, the 15th of August, for his landing at Leith,

Queen-street, at ten o'clock, in the order therein prescribed,
with these alterations
Ist. That the attendance of the Peers is not expected.
2d. That the Lord Lieutenant of Mid Lothian, on horseback,
will-follow, instead of preceding the carriages' teethe Officers of
State.
3d. That after the keys of the city shall have been delivered
to his Majesty, the carriage of the. Lord Provost will fall into
the procession immediately behind the Lord Lieutenant of the
County of Mid Lothian, and the carriages with-the Magistrates
of Edinburgh will fall in behind the Deputy Lieutenants of the
County. MELVILLE, WM. RAE,

A number of Gentlemen .visited his Majesty on boiled the
yacht yesterday afternoon, among whom were Sir Walter Scott,
Right lion. Mr. Peel, &c.
'We uhderstand the Convenery of the Trades of Leith, at
their meeting on the 29th ult. unanimously voted a dutiful and
loyal address to his Majesty, on his arrival in Scotland, and ap-
pointed a Committee to prepare the same.
A large body of the Campbells, or the Breadalbane High..
lenders, under command of Captain Campbell, marched into
the city on Monday night, to the favourite tune of " The
Campbells are coming.' They were received at Holkrood Pa-
lace by the Countess of Breadalbane. These fine, manly, and
martial appearing men, are intended to strengthen the domestic
guard of the King.
The Gentlemen of the Albyn Club have resolved to invite his
Majesty's suite to the use of their rooms in Princes:street
during their stay here.
A large representation of an imperial crown erected on the
top of one or the flues at the gas-work, was illuminated last
night, and had a beautiful effect.
Townshend, Sayer, Vickery, and Bishop, of Bow-
street, arrived in the Tourist on Saturday morning.
A large bonfire, on the top of Arthur's Seat, was lighted up
last night on occasion of his Majesty's arrival. The night be-
ing vety rainy, it had not such a brilliant appearance as it other-
wise would have had if the night had been cleat.
A very numerous meeting of the Noblemen, Justices of the
Peace, Freeholders, and Commissioners of Supply of the county
of Roxburgh, was held at Jedhurgh on Tuesday last, (the Mare
quis of Lothian in the Chair), when an address of congratula-
tion to his Majesty, on the occasion of his visit to Scotland, was
unanimously agreed to. His Lordship was requested to sign
the address, and present it to the King on his arrival.
A numerous and respectable meeting of the Gentlemen of
the County of Lanark was held on TueSday at Hamilton,when
they unanimously voted an Address to his Majesty on his gra-
cious visit to Scotland. The Address was ordered to be pre-
sented by Lord Belhaven. •
The Magistrates and Town Council and the Inhabitants of
the ancient Burgh of Musselburgh, on the 12th curt., unani-
mously voted a dutiful and loyal Address, to be presented to
his Majesty after his arrival at Holyrood.
'While we are rejoicing at the presence of our King, we are
extremely sorry to announce an event, which casts a damp on
the joyous occasion ; we allude to the death of the Marquis of
Londonderry. By the death of this Nobleman the Ministry '
,
have lost one of their best props, and the country one of its
most enlightened Counsellors. The Marquis was distinguished
for an enlarged mind, varied and extensive knowledge, great
political experience, powerful talents, and on intreped spirit,
-which nothing could dismay.
SECOND EDlTlON—Courant Qfce, Four o'Clock.
This forenoon all the roads to Leith were crowded with people
hastening to witness the landing of his Majesty. By ten o'clock
the whole of the shore and great part of the pier were crowded
to excess, and, with the ships in the harbour, and the numerous
boats displaying their colours, presented an appearance highly
picturesque. On the north side of the pier were the Magis-
trates of Cationgate and the Constables of Canongate and Kirth
Leith. Five smacks at the new Draw-bridge were drawn
up, with their bows opposite the month of 'the harbour,
and had their yards manned with sailors in blue' jackets and
white trowsers. The platform by which his Majesty was
to ascend was well contrived, and strongly secured
ropes to the side of the harbour, to prevent its hav-
ing any great motion. It was covered on the 'sides with grey,
and on the centre with scarlet cloth. About half-past eleven,
the President of the Court of Session, the Lord Chief Baron,
the Lord Chief Commissioner, the Lord Justice Clerk, the
Lord Clerk Register, the Lord Advocate, the Sheriff Depute,
and several other Gentlemen walked dlewn the platform, and
were received by the Magistrates and Ministers of Leith in their
robes. About the same time his Majesty's carriage with eight
beantiful bay horses, drew up at the end of the platform. When
the boat left the vessel, all the ships in the Roads, the Battery
at Leith and Edinburgh Castle commenced tiring salutes, which
continued till the barge reached the harbour. A great number
of boats accompanied his'eltlajesty's barge; which drew up'along
side the float leading to the platform. During the progress of
tile barge up the harbour all the people on the pier, the shore,
and from the scaffolding and windows, loudly and enthusiasti-
cally cheered his Majesty, who repeatedly bowed to the multi-
tude. His Majesty sat in the stern of the boat till it reached
the middle of the harbour, when he stood up, and continued
standing till the barge reached the landing-place. He was
dressed in an Admiral's uniform, and looked rather pale.—
When the boat drew up his Majesty was assisted out of the
barge by two naval officers, and was received by the Marquis
of Lothian, the Lord Lieutenant of the County, who knelt to
his Majesty, congratulating him on his landing. His Majesty
then walked up tile steps to the platform, with great ease, and
with a light step, and was received by the Judges of the Supreme
Courts, all of whom he cordially shook by the hand. Ile then
proceeded to his carriage, amid the cheers of the populace, and
after being seated, the Duke of Dorset and the Marquis of Win-
chelsea also got into the carriage beside his Majesty, when it
drove off, guarded by the Royal Company of Archers, com-
manded by the Earl of Elgin, and the Scots Greys. It was
followed by a strong body of Highlanders and the Edinburgh
yeomanry. The cavalcade proceeded in this manner up Leith
Walk, and, about one o'clock, the procession approached the!
