A D D It E S S
TO THE CITIZENS OF EDINBURGH,

And to the Inhabitants of North Britain in general, on his Ma-
jeatz's expected Visit to Scotland.—By the Right lioa. Sir
J. SrlicLant, Bart.

" The Muse,
High hovering o'er the broad cerulean scene.
Sees Caledonia, in romantic view;
Her airy mountains, from the waving main,
Invested with a keen diffusive sky,
Breathing the soul acute."
THOMSON' (Autumn, line 076.)

We have every reay.-n to hope, that in the course of the en-
suing summer or autumn, his Majesty will honour his Scottish
dominions with his presence.
On no occasion have expectations of a royal visit been hither.
to excited, without their being fulfilled by his Majesty.
Notwithstanding the period at which the Coronation took
place, and the great fatigues attending that splendid ceremony,
his Irish subjects were soon after gratified with a sight of their
Sovereign ; and the ardent manner with which they expressed
their gratitudefor this unusual mark of royal attention was con-
sistent with that animation and generosity by which the Irish
character is so peculiarly distinguished.
Disregarding the inconveniences, and even the dangers, with
which his excursion to Ireland had been attended, more espe-
cially during his Majesty's return, and though the season of
the year had become extremely unfavourable to voyages by
sea, and journies by land, his Majesty resolved not to disap-
point his Hanoverian subjects, in the expectations they had
formed of seeing him ; and he has accordingly visited that part
of his dominions.

It is not, therefore, to be imagined, unless prevented by some
unlooked-fbr circumstance, that his Majesty will fail to visit
Scotland, in the course of the ensuing year ; and this may he
more confidently relied on, as his Scottish subjects have many
just claims to his Majesty's favourable attention. The Scot-
tish Throne is, perhaps, the most ancient in Europe ; and it is
in consequence of his Majesty's connection with die Scottish
House of Stuart, and its alliance with the English House of
Tudor, that he inherits the British Crowns. While other coun-
tries may boast of a more fertile territory, a more genial cli-
mate, and may possess a more numerous population, there is
none where the cultivated soil produces in more abundance,
or where the people in general arc more usefully and more
profitably employed. The features of the country are pic-
turesque and magnificent; while the people who inhabit it are
entitled to respect from their military and naval achievements,
their great industry, their scientific acquirements, and their
strict attention to morality and religion.
On the supposition that his majesty will visit Scotland, in
the course of the ensuing summer or autumn, it is of much im-
portance for the people of this country to consider in what man-
ner they can give a proper reception to their Sovereign.
There is no circumstance that has done more credit to the
Irish, than their taking advantage of the royal visit, in order to
bury in oblivion those religious animosities which have so long
distracted that interesting country.(l) In Scotland, though
there are different religious sects, yet their opposition to each
other is not carried to the same violent height. In Ireland,
probably, not a fourth part belong to the Established Church,
whereas in Scotland not a fourth part are Dissenters; and even
of these the greater proportion hold Presbyterian principles.—
The contentions in this country are more of a political than of
a religious nature; and when toe contest is, winch party shall
engross the powers of Government, it is not to be supposed that
any union between those who wish to have the exclusive pos-
session of the same object is likely to be effected. The Sove-
' reign must choose between the two parties, which of them he
considers to be the best fitted fin- the administration of public
affairs.
There are some points, however, deserving of immediate at-
ention, in regard to which, I trust, all true Scotchmen will con-
cur in opinion.
The hrst is, to render the ancient Palace of the Kings of Scot-
land, a fit place for the reception of the Sovereign and his
Court, and to improve the access to it. To accomplish these
objects, the plan for the improvement of Holyrood-house,drawn
by the late Mr. Adam, ought to be immediately set about; and
the interior of the rooms fitted up so as to suit a Royal Resi-
dence. The ancient Chapel there ought likewise to be re-
paired, that the Knights of the Thistle may be installed in that
place with due solemnity. Such other buildings also ought to
be commenced, and, if possible, completed, as are calculated to
ornament a metropolis, the situation of which is so peculiarly
picturesque and beautiful. For instance, the erection of " The
earthenon," on the (40ton-hill, which has so long been anxi-
ously wished for, by those who are desirous to perpetuate, by
so noble a monument, the fame of those military and naval
heroes who have been born in Scotland. It would seem,
indeed, as if the commencement of this favourite national
object were reserved for the presence of the Sovereign in
this country, and to immortalize the epoch of his Majesty's
visit to it.
It would also be a most important object, were al] disputes
respecting the reparation of the central Church of St. Odes
terminated, and if an Act were brought in, for raising a sum
necessary to complete, in a magnificent style, that ancient edi-
fice. In compliment to their Sovereign, the privileged classes
of the community might wave their exemptions, and agree to a
general contribution or assessment, to be expended in giving
dignity and beauty to a building, erected in the centre of our
metropolis. It would doubtless by highly gratifying to the Sove-
reign to know, that it was out of respect to him that established
rights were waved, and that an important improvement was
accomplished. It would add to the pleasure he must expe-
rience, while sitting in the Royal Chair in that edifice, and lis-
tening to those eloquent Ministers of the Scottish Church, who
shall have the honour of preaching before him.
In his visit to Scotland, his Majesty will not, be surrounded
with those Dignitaries of the Church to which he has been
accustomed in England and in Ireland; but it would be proper
that a General Assembly of the Church of Scotland (the only
Ecclesiastical Parliament now extant), were to be held upon
the occasion, that his Majesty might be more fully impressed
with the nature and constitution of the Presbyterian Establish-
ment, where the Members of the Church make up for disparity
of rank, Ly the opportunity they have of exercising their talents
in the progressive judicatures of the Church ; and where the
only distinction arises from superior merit and virtue.
The judicial state of Scotland, in which there are many ex-
cellent institutions, as the plan of Registers, &c. will likewise
be an important object of royal inquiry; and it may be proper
then, to consider, whether it would not be advisable to form
" A Code" of the Laws of Scotleed, which have many peculiar
excellencies, as preparatory to a similar plan for England and
I eclat-. J.
The City of Edinburgh has been called the modern Athens.
Its situation is, in some respects, siniiiee the ancient me-
tropolis of Attica ; and, in its oevotiee et, literature, it bears
a great resemblance to that c...ea'..tal city. His Majesty
will naturally wish to '•xao-:::e all the ticulars con-
nected with this empto an!. ee , e,itt wi.iei. eo lertat a

cies of art and science distogui.sh, iOr its uility. (2) Few of
those celebrated characters, woo oece adorned the literary cir-
cles of Edinburgh, now exist ; but we have still to boast of
some remnants of the old snick. es a Dugald Stewart, and a
Henry Mackenzie, end likewise some more modern authors of
distinguished celebrity.
There is no country, perhaps, where agriculture and garden-
ing are carried to greater perfection than in Scotland. The in-
st-uments of husbandry are so simple and efficient, and the
whole system so easily understoa, that the pectlict:on of the
late President of the Royal Society (Sir J. Banks) is likely to be
verified," " That Agriculture will owe more to the Scot,, than
to any other nation, since Adam first wielded the spade." A
ploughing match, on an extensive scale, would be an interemiag
spectacle for the Sovereign to witness.
The art of road-making has also been carried to great per-
fection in Scotland; and it is to be hoped that the roads, over
which his Majesty will probably travel, will be repaired, pre-
vious to his Majesty's arrival in Scotland, on the principles of
Macadam. The streets of Edinburgh, also, will require:nu*
attention and improvement.
The perfection to which various manufactures have been
brought in Glasgow and its vicinity, and the beauty of the fa-
brics wrought in that neighbourhood, must excite the admiee-
tion of every beholder ; and to these, the Royal Visitor will re-
turally direct his attention.
In regard to other objects of useful inquiry, the Sovereign oil)
have an opportunity of investigating in Scotland, with pocuLear
advantage, some of the most important branches of pofiti-
cal economy—in particular, the system of parochial educstiarn
and its effects ;—the management of the poor;—the laws for the
inclosing of land, and the division of property held in common ;
and other branches on which depend the substantial interests qt
a nation. In no other country, also, have inquiries of a statie-
tical nature been carried to such an extent ; for accounts hay,'
been drawn up, not only of every parish, and of every coasty
in the kingdom, but a general view of the state of the cosalitry
at large has been pubhsbed, accompanied by tables, containing
statements of every particular with which a Sovereign, or a
Minister of State, would wish to be made acquainted.
There is no country, therefore, where a mind, anxious for the
attainment of useful knowledge, could acquire more valuable
information than in Scotland. Yet, on such an occasion, ob-
jects of a more amusing, but less important descriptiou, aren't
to be disregarded.
It may be proper to consult the ancient records of the City ( f
Edinburgh, in order to ascertain in what manner the Kings of
Scotland were formerly received on their first arrival in that
metropolis ; and to renew, so far as modern .manners will ad-
mit of it, the same style f reception.
Besides modern races, exclusively confined to one object, it
would be desirable to add to them exhibitions of some of those
gymnastic exelcises, for which Scotland was formerly celebrate
ed. A Musical Festival, also, in which Scottish music shaull
have its full share, should not be ornhted.
It would be gratifying, on particular occasions, to sec his Ma-
jesty, and his Scottish subjects, attired in the ancient garb of
the country. Indeed, nothing could have a more striking ef-
fect on the mind of a stranger, than to witness the Highland
dress—the Highland music—and the Highland dances reviv-
ed, (3) so as to represent to the eye the manners and customs uf
ancient times. To see a hundred Chiefs, and Highland Lairds,
attended by the elite of their respective clans, each' wearing the
peculiar tartan or " set" of his tribe, would be a sight which
could only be seen in Scotland.
His Majesty may also partake, amidst the scenery of the
Grampian Mountains, the amusements of the chase, as en j;,,y -
ed by his ancestors, of which Si) striking a description is given
in the ancient Histories of Scctland.(4)
The object of a Sovereign, however, in visiting the more dis-
tant parts of his dominions, is not amusement merely, or the
exhibition of shows or pageantry, (though these public testimo-
nies of respect and affection are not without their use), but h
real gratification must arise front the exercise of Lis mental
powers,—from the acquirement of new information,—from his
uniting his subjects, by conciliating religious or political ani-
mosities, which has been so happily accomplished by his Ma-
jesty in Ireland,—and, above all, from the means with widen
he is thus furnished, of ascertaining how he can best ameliorate
the condition, and augment the heppiness, of his people.
On the whole, these can be no doubt that the proposed visit
of his Majesty will prove highly gratifying, both to him lied
to his subjects in Scotland, and may eventually prove the source
of important benefits to the northern part of his dominions; &ref
for that purpose it would be desirable that preparations for Lit
reception were made early, so as to be done in a manner like:y
to be acceptable to his Majesty, and creditable to his Scouts-,
subjects.
'ro contribute to so important an objtct, the preceding hints
are hastily thrown together.

Nov. 12, 1821.
N.B. It appears from the account of the Crown revenues cf
Scotland, printed by order of the house of Commons, 28th June
1821, that these revenues amount to 77,0001. per annum, and
that the charges on them are only 95,0001., leaving a surplus of
18,0001. per annum, three years of whic, or 50,0001. in all,
ought at least to be appropriated for the expenses of his Nla-
jesty's journey to Scotland, in order to render it as manaiftecrit
and beneficial as it ought to be.

(I)Any recent attempts to revive animosities, it is to be hoped,
will be speedily repressed.
(2) It would be right that, in one great procession, all the
teachers and educating individuals in Edinburgh should ps-is
in review before his Majesty. It would be a new and most in-
teresting spectacle.
(3) The Highland Ball given in the Assembly Rooms cf
Edinburgh last Spring, is acknowledged to have been one of
the most delightful and brilliant spectacles that has ever been
exhibited.

THE WEATHER.—The variableness of the cli-
mate of Great Britain has never been more re-
markable than of late. On the 2nd instant, at
six in the morning, Fahrenheit's Thermomete:
stood at 602 degrees ; at the same hour on thr:
4th of July last, it was only at 5'2 ; so that at
one period in the middle of the present summer
it was SI degrees colder than in the month of
November. On the night of Nov. 1, at York,
the minimum of the thermometer was 49; on the
night of the And of July last, it was 36 ; being
13 degrees colder. On the sth of November,
at the same hour in the morning, the Thermome-
ter was at 30, being 19 degrees colder than three
days before.

Last Tuesday another k 30,000 was sold !:).
Shares by CARROLL. No. 11,48 was the lucky
Ticket, and the fortunate hohlers may receirt.
their Money on demand. This reminds us that
the very last 230,000 Consols was sold by CAR-
ROLL; and it is confidently anticipated that, as
CARROLL is so peculiarly fortunate in selling
f'30,000 Prizes, that another will also be sold
by him, before the close of the present Lottery,
at his fortunate Offices, 19, CORNIIILL, and 26,
OXFORE•STREET.

For several weeks past the Small Pox has
been raging in this town and neighbou7hood, and
has carried off, we regret to say, a considerable
number of children. In one close nu fewur than
five children have died, one of whom was twelve
and another thirteen years of age. In the town
of Kircudbright the same disease has beet&
pretty prevalent and, it is reported, that seve-
ral children have caught the infection, who had
been previously vaccinated. In every one of
,hose cases, however, the malady ',ras greatly
naL,diflcd, and led to no fatal consequences.--
