wore his collar and badge. -His horse was an Arabian, which
seemed born for exhibiting in so splendid a procession. The
.Barl of Kinnoul is' Lord Lyon, and attracted more attention
than any personage in the procession ; we heard many perions
disputing whether he was the King himself or not.
. After Lord Lyon, the procession varied a little from the order
mentioned in the Gazette. The Constable's Esquires followed
the Ls on; they were dressed as 'we described them on the former
occasion.. We looked in vain for the Lord High Constable, who,
wedinagine, should have had his Yeomen and his Esquires im-
meeliately attending on him. The ancient mace of the Lord
High Chancellor of Scotland, now used in the Exchequer, was
borne next after the two.maces of the Court of Session. Six
,grooms, attendants on the Sword of State, dressed in dark live-
ries, laced, with cocked hats and plumes. The Sword of State,
borne by the Earl of Morton, dressed in his Lord Lieutenant's'
uniform, and wearing the order of the Thistle. His Esquires,
Wen. Pitt Dundas and P. F.`Tytler, Esqrs. Advocates, were in
appropriate costume. Maces and Pages followed. The Sceptre
was carried by the Hon. John Morton Stuart, the son of the'
Earl of Moray, as Substitute for Lord Francis Leveson Gower,
who was obliged to set off to England, owing to the dangerous
indisposition of his noble father- Mr. Stuart was dressed in
'green, with tartan trews, and beautiful dirk and other appen-
dages. His horse was furnished with a splendid Mameluke
saddle and bridle, richly embroidered with gold on blue velvet :.
his whole equipment was remarkably elegant. Other Macers,
Grooms, and mounted Esquires, followed Mr. Stuart. The
Crown was carried by the Duke of Hamilton, in right of his'
ancient Earldom of Angus. • His Grace was dressed in a
black, satin dress of the, age of Charles the First, slashed '
with white, and a rich lace vandyked collar over his
shoulders.. A groom . attended on each side to hold his
horse. He_ berg the .Crown on the crimson' velvet cushion, which
Was found'when the regalia were discovered. When the Duke
appeared in sight with the emblems of Scottish independence, lie
was loudly cheered. One of the King's carriages followed,
drawn by six horses, in which were the-Duke-ef Argyll and some
other Peers; after which came a party of the Scotch Grays. The
Yeenien of the.GUard imseediately preceded his Majesty's car-
riage ; the Royal Company, of Archers lianked.the Royal car-
riage ; on the right hand of the King's•carriage rode the Lord
high Conetable, attended by Sir Thornas-Bredford, as Com-
mander of the tortes. The Lord High Constable wore his.
Peer's robes over a purple velvet :dress with white slashing ; he
wore hie Earl's coronet. The Earl cf. Hopetoun, as Captain
Generel cf the Archers, was on one aide of the Royal equipage,
dressed inehe uniform of the Company, wearing the decora-
tions of the Grand Cross of the Bath and the. Earl of Elgin,
in the same dress, was on the other side, and wore his orders.
His Majesty's carriage was drawn by six horses only. Others
of the Yeomen of the Guard followed, and then came a party of
the Scotch Grays. A Constable's guard of Highland Gentle-
men followed; another detachment -of the Scotch Grays. Then
came the Drummond Highlanders, : under. the command of
Captain IVl'lntire, after whom were the Sutherland High-
landers, dressed in the Sutherland tartan, with the Stuart plaid.
A squadron of the Mid Lothian Yeomanry brought up the
whole. of the pmeepsion.
In the order above detailed the procession slowly moved up
the Canongate, and High-street, amid reiterated shouts, and
every other demonstration of joy and respect, till it reached the
platform where the Civic .Rulers sat in state. Immediately the
hells of St. Giles's pealed e‘ God save the King," which was
:followed by the shrill tones of the. foremost trumpeters. The
State Carnage then approached, and the Lord Provost, un-
covered; along' with the -Magistrates, rose froth. their seats and
made'a low obeisrence'eo /its Majesty, who looked out of the
carriage and bowed` twihe in the handsorisest manner. Turning
towards the other aide, he recognised the beauty. of Scotland in
the same style, with his hand on his been. It is needless to
Mention with what fervent and loud acclamations this gracious
token of regard was received;—:.handkerchiefs, shawls, scarfs,
parasols, waved in the air above the female balcony ; and hats,
umbrellas, and every thing portable, accompanied by tremen-
dous huzzas, marked the applause of the other sex. •
These evidences of affection and loyalty were equally con-
spicuous till his Majesty arrived at the Castle, when he. alight-
ed on a platform covered with crimson cloth. The,customary
etiquette of demanding. admission having been previously per-
formed, his Majesty then walked into the Castle, where he got
into another carriage, which had been stint forward to prevent
the passing over the draw-bridge. At the Castle-gate he was
received ;-by the Lord High Constable and the Earl of Cath-
cart, who presently made room; and Sir Alex. Hope, Lieute-
nam-Governor of the Castle, with malny other Officers, came
forward to receive their Sovereign. After passing the inner bar-
rier on foot, his Majesty drove up to the half-moon battery,
'where a spacious platform had been erected, and covered with
scarlet cloth, on which he alighted. The sight of' his Majesty on
the platform, who stood by himself, produced a magic eifect.—
Fortunate] vat this moment the day became more clear. His Ma-
jesty stood, notwithstanding the pelting, of the rain, with his
head uncovered,'his hands 'lifted up in wonder and admiration
and returned,. in his own graceful style, the salutation of the
people who thronged the hill. What must hive been his Ma-
jesty's feelings at that moment ! Ours were a mixture of love,
of gratitude, and of admiration, in which we feel assured every
toul around useparticipated. It is, 'however, to be :I•egretted,
shat from the thickness of the atmosphere his Majesty 'could
not fully enjoy one of the finest spectacles nature and art corn-
bined ever presented to the eye of wonder and admiration.
His Majesty remained about five minutes On the. platform,
when he returned to his carriage, and drove to the Lieutenant
Governor's house' where a collation had been prepared. Re-
maining there a few minutes, his Majesty got into' his state
carriage; and • returned with the procession in' the same array
through Bank-street, over the Earthen-mound, along Princes-
street, • Waterloo-place, and the Calton, to Holyrood House,
where he arrived about ten minutes before' four o'clock ; 'and
immediately afterwards returned to Dalkeith.
[Another Letter, dated Friday, Five o'Clock.]

- • ,
I have learned to-day that the King expressed. hi s highest
satisfaction at the conduct of the people yesterday, and the or-
der of the procession. 'When on the platform at the Castle, he
said to Captain Ferguson, the Keeper of the Regalia--" Fer-
gusOn, this is the grandest sight my eyes ever beheld ;" and
he repeated the same ./tenguage, to the Of in the Castle.
Although-his Majesty could not observe the beautiful regula-
rity of the streets, from the gloominess of the day, yet he saw
through the dim distance 'the bold features and grand outline
of the surrounding scene. which is one of oast magnificence.
But he could feel, and did feel, the fervent loyalty
,which.burst
,on all sides from his subjects.
This forenoon a grand revieiv. of all the cavalry end yeo-
manry in the metropolis took place, on Portobello sands. The
people poured from every quarter of the city, like the lateral
branches of a mighty river, which, swelling into a torrent, rolls
on to the sea. - Ships in full sail, and numerous boats, quick
gliding "o'er the bosom of the deep;" hastened to the martial
scene.
The troops consisted of, a detachment of, the Scots Greys, 3d
Dragoon Guards, the Glasgow, Peebles, Selkirk, Roxburgh,
Berwick, Mid Lothian, and East Lothian Yeomanry, with the
Fife Lancers and a squadron, of flying Artillery.. The whole
were drawn out in ze line of two men deep, extending.in length
about two miles. The. Celts and Highlanders, in the respective
garbs of their clans, were drawn up at one end of' the Sands..
About 1000 carriages were wheeled in rapid succession to the
ground, most of which were open, and in those not to be opened
by strength or loyalty, the ?company occupied-the out Works.
Every vehicle displayed elegance, beauty, and fashion.
At. one o'clock a Royal salute announced the arrival of his
Majesty. Ile was dressed in a Field-Marshal's uniform, and
mounted on a.superh gray Arabian; finely caparisoned, which
he bestrode with his accustomed elegance and
ease. His Ma-
jesty, along with the staff, and many Noblemen, went down
the front, inspecting thd troops, and saluted" the commander of
each squadron with - a graceful bow. For the name' purpose,
he came up between the lines. Afterwards he took his station
in The centre, 'when the' troops passed slowly in review before
hini, saluting' as they passed. 'Filing off in a circle, they
passed him at full gallop. After. performing- these evolutions
with great accuracy and precision, his Majesty complimented
them highly upon their martial appearance.
The-state carriage with six horses then advanced, into which
his Majesty 'entered, amid the cheerings of the populace. He
returned their gratulations by taking off his hat, and waving it
with much force and earnestness. This drew forth tremendous
shouts, both from land and sea.
A royal salute was fired as his Majesty left the ground. The
day was delightful, the sun beamed brightly on the armour of
the soldiers. The whole appearance was indescribably splendid.

[Prom the Caledonian Mercury, Aug. 22.]
His Majesty's approach to the Castle was announced by
the Marchmont Herald to the Governor. Opposite the bar-
rier gate of the Castle was erected a platform, covered with
crimson cloth, on which the King-alighted from the royal car-
riage, and was received by the Earl of Errol, Lord High
Constable of Scotland, and the Earl of Cathcart, who had
alighted for that purpose. The keys of the Castle were then
tendered to bis 'Majesty by Lieut.-Geueral Si: Alex. Hope,
