[Extract of a Letter from on board the Grampus, of the Coast
of Cuba, June 20.]

" From Cayo Largo we proceeded to Salt
Quay, and foUnd the pirates had left there two days. We re-
mained three days at Aguidilla, thence for Havannali. In four
days vOe-arrived at Sugar Quay, and having been joined by the
Shark, the boats *ere dispatched under the-command of Capt.
PERRY, with 90 men well armed,.having received information
of another of the pirates' station, under a Chief named RX--
pit AELirii, we bore away for this station. Noit- day we fell
ihwitlitapta!ri PERmi, of the Shari, and two schooners ; he
had captured, the crews of both had escaped .into the woods; a
party of men were landed in pursuit, ,and divided into separate
parties ; at sun set they returned to the boats, except one
marine ; at day-light a search was made in the woods for the
last man ; some of the men heard a report of a musket; hastened
to the spot and found the marine with a Spaniard over him,
and in the act of stsbbing .him; our men gave a shout, pre-
sented their muskets,_ upon' which he dropped his weapon, fell
upon his knees and begged for mercy, promising to -pilot us to,
the pirate's rendezvous; to-morrow we are off for Saqus le
Grande, where RAPRAELna's squadron are lying, and their
prize money is said to amount to 180,000 dollars."

-We this day insert the last :letter. from our in-
telligent Correspondent BRITANNICUS on the
subject of THE MARRIAGE ACT AMENDMENT
BILL, upon the difficulties and dangers of which
he has so ably and so temperately animadverted.
The subject, as we have before observed, and as
indeed must be obvious, is of the utmost import-
ance to civilized society The letters are most.
properly addressed to the venerable lieu(' of the
Law, who fills•hiki high office-with every quality
that. -it ean''require,' -and 'With every virtue in
private life that does honour to his country and
to human nature.. It is the intention of the
Author, we understand, to publish them in a col-
.
lected• form; and in that we most earnestly re-
- commend the work to:the attention of the corn-
munity at large. - •

It is generally -understood that Lady, Po wes-
hto UTli was not in the family way when she went
to reside in Edinburgh, and that she had another
medical attendant besides. Dr. J AMES II A M ILTON-, •
jun. The circumstances under which Lord,
PORTSMOUTH'S family were takeh to Edinburgh
-have never been .satisfactorily known tb'his for-
mer connections—and the particular intimacy.
which has existed between part of this family
and a certain individual has given rise to obser-'
vations which are, probably, without any foun-
dation,—but as it is now believed that the cir-.
cumstances alluded to are likely to become the
subject of investigation in some one of the public
tribunals of the country, we shall forbear stating
all that we have heard respecting this mysterious
and discreditable affair.—We understand that his
Lordship's , reasons for quitting Edinburgh -were
well known there, and that his departure did not
excite any surprise in the minds of those persons
who knew his PECULIAR situation l—To which
may be attributed his leaving his residence with-
out—" the least preparations for the journey, not
"'even a single change of apparel," as Men-
tioned in-a Morning Paper of- yesterday.
Yesterday at two o'clock a Cabinet Council
was held at the. Foreign Office, which was at-
tended by the Marquis of Londonderry, Earl of
Liverpool, Earl of Ilarrowby, Earl of kV estmor-
land, the Chancellor of-the Exchequer, Duke of
Wellington, Lord Maryborough, Mr. Robinson,
&c. The Cabinet continued in deliberation till
a quarter. before four.
Yesterday the Duke of YORK transacted busi-
ness with the KING. Princess SOPHIA visited his
MAJESTY yesterday.-=Yesterday afternoon his
MAJESTY rode out in his private carriage.
Yesterday morning most of the KING'S Pages
and Royal Livery-Servants, together with thirty
of-.the Yeomen of. the Guards, left town in

Greenwich stage coaches for Deptford, to em-
bark on board the James Watt steam packet,
which was to sail at two o'clock for Edinnursh.

The attendants upon the KING to the House
.of Peers on Tuesday were not so numerous as is
generally the case on such occasions ; the Comp-
troller of the Household and the Treasurer of the
Household, 4c. being gone to Scotland. The
'Puke of DORSET, as Master of the Horse, and
Lord AmnERST, as Lord, in Waiting, rode in the
State Carriage with the KING.
' Notwithstanding the current and somewhat
pereniptory report to, the contrary, we, learn
from a respectable correspondent that his Excel-
lency the LO]tD LIEUTENANT Of IRELAND has no
intention to visit Edinburgh during his MAJESTY'S
continuance in that capital.—(Morning Chronicle.)
On Sunday Lord DUNGLASS, attached to our
Embassy at St. Petersburgh, left town for Russia.
Same day. Mr. WARD, attached to our Embassy
at Madrid, left town for Spain.
A very marked impression was produced yes-
terday in the city, by the intelligence of the
sudden death of, Mr. JOHN INGLIs, the East
India Director, and partner in the house late
'sous, ELLice, and Co., of Mark-lane. Mr.
INGLIS was, we believe, in his 73d year. Few
individuals have maintained a higher estimation
in commercial affairs, or will cause, in the imme-
diate circle of their acquaintance, more sincere
regret. We forbear to notice any rumour con-
nected with this unfortunate event.

The utmost e:;ertions continue td by made in all parts of the
city, to complete .the.peeparations tipsy in. progress for his MA-
: JEST Y'S, visit, and in the course of the week all the scaffolding
for the accommodation of the different public bodies will be
erected. Workmen have begun to fit up the stand_ over the
Royal Exchange.. On Saturday the City of Edinbttrgh steam
packet arrived at Newhaven with upwards, of one hundred
packages, containing the throne and plate belonging to his
Majesty, which was guarded during the passage by a party of
soldiers. The whole packages were safely landed, and con-
veyed, the throne to Holyreod Palace, and the plate to Dalkeith
'House, undez escorts of military. The same vessel also brought
• a large quantity of poultry for the use of his Majesty's hOusehold.
The town is 'already crowded with the -;rent influx: of strangers,
which has in some degree affected the price of provisionS, seve-
ral articles having risezi on Saturday. It is expected that his
Majesty will visit the University, and with this view the work
mien are employed in
rreinoving the scaffolding from the interior
of the sqUare, and in preparing galleries for spectators, which
are to be erected-against the old buildings on the south side of the
sqtiard. It is said that the Members of all the Universities in
Scotland will attend in Edinburgh, in order to be presented to
the King, in separate bodies. His Majesty, in his way to the
Royal Box in the Theatre, will pass through the green-room,
which-is to be elegantly fatted up for the occasion. -ills Majesty
- will enter through the bose-offiee, the alterations on which, for
this purpose, were commenced by Mr. 'Murray Friday.
We understand .the Peers of Scotland ate to give a Ball in
the Assembly Rooms, for which. four hundred tickets will
be issued, and for which the most splendid preparations
are making, under the.management of a Cominittee of the
Peers. The new dress -of the Royal Archers will be most
beautiful ; the general outline of it is proposed to be a tartan
surtout, reaching .nearly to the knees, with sleeves slashed
with green, tartan -trews and stockings, and black rosettes in
the shoes • a white satin bow-case across the body, a Robin-
Hood's belt, a cap with an eagle's. -feather, and white gloves;
reaching half-way up the arm, and ruffs round the neck. They
will meet the King at his
.landing, and, proceed with him to
Holyrood-house. The lion.-Williani.Maule, M.P. for Forfar-
shire, has sent; for his Iklujesty table, fen fat bucks from his
park at Pannkur.e.. - • . •
Workmen are busily employed in repairing the decayed walls
upon the Bass Rock, on which Ate-to be -placed six large can-
nons, for the pin-post:of 'firing a Royal-salute to his Majesty as
he enters the Frith of Porth.• A flag-staff, 40 feet in height, is
to be put upon the top of the -rock oh which the Royal standard
is to be hoisted. It is expected -that' his Majesty will land, as
his Royal Highness Prince Leopold did,- during his visit to
Scotland ; and to make it more convenient for his Majesty to
take a view of the rock, a very broad stair is at present making
on the south-east side of the island, -which is the only place that
it is' possible to get up, it being inaccessible on all sides except
this. • .

The loyalty of the Highlanders to their country and Ring re-
quires no comment. ThellPOrigors inhabiting the mountain-
ous district of Rannoch, on hearing of the intended visit of
their Sovereign to.their native country, immediately assembled
at the east end of Loch Rannoch, and were drilled by Liente
Want 31'Grigor at Inverhadden, the better to qualify .them for
appearance before their Liege, should he honour .thole with
his presence. .
