EDINBURGH, WEDNESDAY, THREE O'CLOCK.

A. Telegraphic Dispatch, at three o'clock this
morning, announced the appearance of the Royal squadron off
St. Abb's Head, and at an early hour the Calton Hill and
other high grounds in the vicinity of Edinburgh began to be
spotted with people. The morning was fine, but a thick fog
hanging over the mouth of the Firth, prevented the squadron
from being seen till about nine o'clock, at which hour they
were descried between North Berwick La;.* and the Isle of
Ma;'. By ten o'clock, the top of the Calton was crowded.
with spectators, but the fog bad become so dense, that our re-
porter, even with the assistance •of a very excellent telescope,
politely lent him at the Observatory on the Calton Hill, was
unable to learn the number of vessels. About clever. o'clock,
One of the squadrons and the battery on the Bass saluted each
other, and the white smoke being distinctly-seen through the
black fog, which had a very picturesque appearance, left no
doubt of the actual approach of his. Majesty. The ascertain.'
ing of this fact was followed by enthusiastic cheers. About
twelve, the Royal Yacht towed by two steam vessels was seen
to emerge from the fog, and at a quarter past twelve, the ships
of war in Leith Roads fired a salute. At this time the Royal
yacht and the vessels in the Roads were about five or six miles
from each other. The Royal yacht now glided smoothly up
the Firth, aided by the flowing tide and a light breeze at
East. • The sky began to be overcast, and at one o'clock, the
signal guns announcing that his Majesty would land in five
hours, were fired from the Castle and Calton. All Edinburgh
was now in commotion—every person flew to his post—High-
land Clans, regiments of dragoons and yeomanry cavalry, with
the Officers of State and other official personages to be engaged
in the procession, assembled at the mustering place at the east
end of Queen-street. The Lord Provost's carriage, with six
horses in splendid liveries, was drawn up in front of the Royal
Exchange, accompanied by the Civic Tail, (the fashionable
word for any person or thing that follows), ready to deliver over
the Keys of the City, at a barrier erected at the top of Leith-
walk. All the windows in the streets through which the pro-
cession was to pass, were speedily filled, chiefly with fashionable
females, splendidly dressed, while the streets themselves present-
ed a bustling mass, every person repairing to the place where he
might see the imposing ceremonies. 'Unfortunately, however, it
began to rain heavily, and it has continued to do so ever since,
so that the spectacle will be deprived of its beauty and much of
its comfort. The platform at Leith pier is laid with drab and
crimson, and the covered way by which his Majesty ascends
from his barge to the platform is very convenient.
Five o'Clock.—Owing to the continued heavy rain, his Ma-
jesty has delayed his landing till to-morrow, and should it be
as unfavourable, a further delay will take place. The officir.l
announcement of this intelligence was received with marked
signs of disappointment by the official and civic procession in
Queen-street ; nor were the Tails of the Chiefs less vexed, as
they returned marching to the mixed sound of the piebracht
and the pattering rain. The flowers and trappings which
adorned the ladies who filled the windows and balconies along
the line of procession, also suffered not a little.

ROYAL OBSERVATORY, CALTON HILL, AUG. 14.
The wind has been all the morning about 'south-west, but
very light ;at about half-past 11 the hulls of some vessels were
indistinctly seen, but owing to the haze nothing positive could
be ascertained • about twelve the wind shifted to the south,
and the haze began to clear away ; at a quarter past twelve
the Royal yacht, towed by two steam boats, with her sails
furled, was distinctly seen, the smaller steam-boat first with
sail set; and at this time the vessels in the Roads fired a salute;
forty minutes past twelve the wind blew a fine gentle breeze
from the south. The yacht still in tow, without any sail set, and
nearing very fast ; six vessels in company under sail, besides two
steam boats. The steam boats having the yacht gaining on the
vessels under sail. The Calton Hill at this moment presents
one of the finest scenes imaginable, owing to the immense
crowd ; 50 minutes past 12, it now rains a little. One o'clock,
it still rains and is hazy • five minutes past one, two guns fired
front the Calton Hill andi two from the Castle; the yacht and
steam boats bearing about direct south from Inchkeith. The
crowd upon the Calton Hill is now dispersing very fast ; and
great numbers are proceeding down to Leith in all directions ;
13 minutes past 1, about a troop of the Scots Greys axe passing
by the new London-road to Leith. It is now much clearer and
the rain has ceased, and a troop of the 3d Dragoons is passing
in front of the gaol into town, and lining the streets; nine-
teen minutes past one, the yachts, accompanied by two
steam boats, are between Inchkeith and the Beacon,
near. the mouth of Leith Harbour ; it rains a little again.
At twenty-five minutes past one, the smallest steam vessel left
the yacht, she being at this moment to the west of the Beacon ;
29 minutes past 1, the ships in the Road's saluted again, and
also the guns at Leith Fort ; at 36 minutes past 1, the other
steam boat left the yacht, and she came to anchor outside
the Guard-ship; 47 minutes past 1, the wind has shifted to the
S.W. with every appearance of heavy rain ; it has already
begun. The yacht is completely surrounded with small boats,
but it is so hazy that nothinecan be distinctly seen ; 10 minutes
past two, it rains pretty hard, and is so hazy that the vessels
in the Roads are scarcely visible, and the people are leaving
the Calton-Hill very fast. A band of Highlanders has just
passed by the gaol to Holyroodhouse. Thirty-seven minutes
past 2, the yeomanry are passing down Leith-Walk, and a
band of Highlanders, dressed in green, with yellow feathers
in their bonnets, are passing the front of the gaol, from
Holyroodhouse, and
,„Poing down by the old road from
the Calton-Hill to Leith-Walk, down which they are proceed-
ing ; '46 minutes past 2, the haze is a little removed, but no-
thing can be discovered of what is going on, on board or about
the yachts. The troops are leaving their posts on Leith-Walk.
Immediately after the smoke of the second salute had cleared
away, the person of his Majesty was distinctly seen on the
quarter-deck, and cheered by some boats which were passing;'.
