(From a Correspondent.)—We have reason to
believe, from authority on which we place every
reliance, thas it was only so late as lest Monday
night that his Majesty had finally resolved to.
visit Scotland this year. It is understood his Ma-
jesty will arrive in Edinburgh about the 3d or
4th of August, and his sojourn there, it is said,
will not exceed a fortnight, during which time he
will hold a Drawing-room or two at llolyrood
House. His Majesty has expressed his intention
of honouring the Duke of Buccleugh with a visit
in the course of his stay in the North. It is not
yet decided whether his Majesty will proceed by
sea or not. ,
(From another Correspondent.)—His Majesty
has signified his intention of visiting Scotland im-
mediately after the prorogation of Parliament. It
was on Monday evening last that he was pleased
to make known his final intentions on the subject
to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment, who, of course, attends his Majesty through-
out the tour. We understand, from an authority
which we cannot doubt, that his Majesty will
proceed direct to Leith by water, and return by
land, through the interior of the country. If so,
the great manufacturing districts will be honoured
with the presence of the Sovereign—a circum-
stance which has• not happened for many genera-
tions. At all events, preparations are making
agreeably to this arrangement in tl►e departments
both of the Master of the Horse and of the Royal
Yachts.

LATORNING
The arrivals from the Continent of yesterday
furnish nothing new with regard to the affairs of
Spain ; but the variety of papers we have re-
ceived since our last publication enables us to
give a more connected view of "the whole events
which followed the revolt of the King's C uards,
than the general reader perhaps would be able to
form from the perusal of so many, and in some in-
stances, such contradictory accounts. The posi-
tion of the Pardo (the old Palace on the other side
of the Manzanares,and not the Prado, public walk,
as stated in some of the daily Papers) to which the
four battalions of the guards had tied, was too
isolated for the realization of any plan formed by
the servile.party, and these battalions were be-
sides separated from the other two which still
remained at the Palace, under pretext of guard.
ing the person of the King. All negociations for
a surrender having proved fruitless, the four bat-
talions of revolted 'guards, pressed, probably, by
the want of provisions, from which they were
cut off the moment they shut, themselves up in
the Pardo, formed the project of attacking the
city on the morning of the 7th, at an early hour,
conceiving that the militia and armed inhabitants,
who had been on duty for several days and nights
successively, might easily be-surprised and over-
come.: With this view they left their position in
the night, and advanced to the square of the
Constitution, where they found four compa-
nies of militia and a detachment of cavalry,
supported' by two pieces of artillery. The
guards entered Ihe avenues leading to the sqUare
at day-light, calling out ".Long live the absolute
King," and immediately commenced a brisk fire
on their antagonists. By the time they had dis-
charged their pieces four times, they had reached
the line Occupied -by -the Militia, when two
granadier companies of the latter, and a company
of Chasseurs, commanded by Brigadier-General
Palarea, attacked them from several of the streets
leading into the square, and considerable loss
was experienced on both sides.—At six in the
Morning, General Morillo ordered a piece of
artillery to be placed in the main street, to pre-
vent the retreat of the guards in that direc-
tion. In the mean time the Militia continued
to fire upon them from the street Las Carrara,
which compelled the mutineers to 'retreat by
the adjacent streets on the opposite side.—
The guards 'retreated in two directions, part to:
wards the Palace, no doubt to join their com-
rades posted there, 'and the others towards the
square of St. Domingo; both being successively
charged by the regiment, of the Prince, crying
out " Long live Liberty."—The King's stables,
where the Guards had collected and posted
themselves, were next attacked by Gen. Morillo,
the instant he could bring up the militia, and
forced with fixed bayonets. Repulsed on .all
side's, the mutineers withdrew towards the Palace,
where they were received, among other persons of
rank, by the Duke del Infantado and the Mar-
quess de las Amarillos. They then offered to
enter into'negociations, and dispatched one
of their own party to the artillery ground to
signify their wishes. Notwithstanding this
offer, they subsequently attacked some of the
militia posted near the house of Los Consejos,
but they were repulsed in a most vigorous man-
ner. Without waiting for the capitulation to be
carried formally into effect, the few remaining
mutineers effected their retreat from the Palace
by tho gate of La Vega towards Alcorcon, whi-
ther they were pursued by a party of cavalry,
• accompanied by Generals Morillo and Riego.—
On the Bth, all the remaining mutineers surren-
dered, and the Bishop performed•ar solemn mass
in honour of the triumph gained, in presence o'
the Militia.

[BRITISII PRESS.] •
The distresses of the Irish peasantry unfortu-
nately render a continuance of Case benevolent
exertions which have done so much honour to the
feelings of
,Englishmen, a matter of urgent, of
imperative necessity. Yet let it not be supposed
that, like abject mendicants, they are willing to
abuse the charity extended towards them, and by
making a pitiful lamentation, endeavour to extort
frotri the compassionate bosoms of their fellow-
subjects in this country a larger sum than is
absolutely required for the alleviation of their
sufferings. The Irish Journals contain state-
ments, unhappily but too 'well authenticated,
which prove that the bitter cup of misery is
drained to- the very dregs. A single instance
will suffice—the putrid carcass of an animal which
had died of disease)
,and been buried three or
