'.vINER TO EARL GREY.—We have been in-
ica'reed that nothing could exceed the very flattering manner
II: which the deputation from the requisitionists was received
Y the Noble Earl ; and although he had determined to remain
quietly at home, and not to accept of any public entertain-
ment, Yet he was so highly flattered by the compliment paid
aim, that he has agreed to be in Edinburgh any day of the
f Ng- beginning with the 15th of September, that may be
