THE KING'S VISIT TO IRELAND.

DEPARTURE OF THE KING.--Yesterday morn-
ing, about half-past eleven o'clock, his MAJESTY
left his Palace in Pall-mall, on his way to Ire-
land. His MAJESTY went in his plain dark tra-
velling carriage, attended by Lord GRAVES as
the Lord in -Waiting; escorted by a party of the
14th Light Dragoons. The KING proceeded as
far as Kingston with his own horses, and thence
to Portsmouth with post horses. Ilis MAJESTY
was to embark and dine on board the Royal yacht.

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY EVENING, 7 o'CLocs.
His MAJESTY has not yet arrived, and it is,
therefore, probable that he will net come until to-morrow.—
Nothing of his intentions is as yet known here with certainty
The garrison is under orders to turn out at the shortest notice:
in consequence of after garrison orders, which were issued yester-
day by Sir George Cooke, K.C.8., Lieutenant-Governor of the
Garrison of Portsmouth, and Commanding the South-west
District. On the arrival of his Majesty at the Landport Rave-
lin, or Landport Gate, the gate of the Garrison, the Lieutenant
Governor will present him with the keys of the Garrison, which
his Majesty will instantly return. In the mean time the Royal
standard will be hoisted on the flag-staff in the Landport cur-
tain, a part of the ramparts opposite the Lieut.-Governor's
house, and at the King's Bastion, or Battery, and a Royal
salute will be fired from the Saluting Battery. These arrange-
ments will be carried into effect under the superintendence of
Lieut.-Colonel Dixon, the officer commanding the Artillery
department. His Majesty will then proceed along Landport-
street, and High-street, in his barouche, down to the new Sally.
port. This is a door-way which opens to the King's stairs, and
where none but persons in his Majesty's service are permitted to
embark. As soon as his Majesty enters the Royal barge,
another Royal salute will be fired from the Bastion before-men-
tioned. Bis Majesty will be received at the Sallyport by a
guard of honour from the 10th Regiment, consisting of a
Captain, two Subalterns, and two hundred privates, with the
King's colours and a band of music. Upon these occasions the
colours of the Regiment are always superseded by the superior
Ensign of the King.

The troops in the Garrison will be formed with their right
adjoining the left of the guard of honour, in the following
order :

10th Regiment—Colonel Stewart.

Royal Marine Artillery.—Col. Sir R. Williams, K.C.B,

Royal Marines.

Five Companies of the 15th Regiment—Colonel Davison.
They are to line the street on each side from the Sally-port
along High-street, and Landport-street, to the Landport-gate,
with their files at such distance as will enable them to occupy
the whole way. The Royal Sappers and Miners are also to be
in attendance. Lieut.-Colonel Lindegren's Corps of South-
West Hants Yeomanry Cavalry have received orders to form
in High-street, near the Theatre, where they are to wait 4.
surti orders as may be given them. Lieutenant-Colonel Sir
Richard Williams has made arrangements for passing the
Royal Marine Artillery over from Gosport, when necessary, to
Fort Monckton. An orderly man from the Artillery is in at-
tendance every morning, at the Lieutenant-Governor's Office,
and will continue so to attend until his Majesty has embarked,
as upon this department devolves the honour of firing a Royal
salute shortly after his Majesty's getting into the harbour. On
the arrival of his Majesty, the whole of the men of the different
corps will be underarms, with the exception of those sick in hos-
pitals and in barracks. The harbour will be crowded with yachts
and boats of every description, and if the day prove favourable,
the scene will be of the most magnificent description. It has
been raining here incessantly all this day, with a S.W. wind, a
wind exactly the opposite of that which his Majesty wants.—
But it is thought that the wind is now likely to shift about to
South-east. There are several versions here of his Majesty's
intended line of voyage after he shall have passed the Needles.
It is said that he is very likely to go into Plymouth to view the
famous Breakwater, and if the wind do not serve to bear him
round Land's-end and up the Irish Channel without much diffi-
culty, it is supposed that he will disembark at Plymouth, and
go by land to Holyhead. On.the other hand, if he be able to
make the Isle of Anglesea by water, it is supposed that he will I

stop there fora day or two, in order to give time for his proper
reception at the. Pigeon-house. The latter report has been
mentioned here on good authority, and it appears by no means
unlikely.—The Royal marine band is to embark on board the
Active, to accompany and enliven the squadron. The Came-
lion cutter has received orders to go to Guernsey, and of course
is not to form part of the squadron, as was first intended. So
strictly enforced is the order against the admission of strangers
on board of any of the frigates or sloops of the squadron, that
even the Admiral of the station, Sir J. H. Whitened, cannot send I
his own son.
