THE KING.

Hot ntrAD, Tuesea y, 7th August, Three o'Clock,

The Royal ScluadrOrk appeared in view yester-
day. The first beacon was fired at Holyhml at
seven o'clock, the Royal squadron being then ten
niiles off. Fires were soon after lighted on the
hills for a considerable distance in the iaterior,
and all round the Isle of Angiesea ; but some
rail) coming on, they were quite out in a few
nlinutem." The signal was, however, speedily
Yi.;.Qznised;and ..e-et-,;y high land was occupied
by groups looking out for the squadron. The
greatest anxiety prevailed among the people
ttiroagh the Island to learn whether the signals
were correct, and they seemed delighted to that
degree of enthusiasm, which a Welch population
cav show by every fresh confirmation of the intel-
ligence which they received. The fall of a hazy
bight soon dispersed these anxious spectators;
but many of them hastened into Holyhead, to
ascertain the fact, and, if possible, to witness his
MAJESTY'S entry iuto the harbour. The moon
shone out at intervals, in the early part of the
night; but before eleven, she buried herself in a
mass of dense clouds, from which she did not
emerge for several hours.—ln the mean time the
inhabitants of the town prepared to illuminate
their windows. At eleven o'clock it was gene-
rally thought. that his Majesty would not come
into harbour until this morning, and that idea
was so confidently entertained, that by half past
eleven the whole of the inhabitants were retired
to rest. About twelve o'clock his Majesty's
yacht anchored in the harbour. The intelligence
was-brought of by some boatmen, and persons
ran through the town, rapping at each door as
they hastened on, communicating the glad tidings.
The parties within were all speedily roused,; the
candles were lighted; and by one o'clock every
house in the town Was illaminated. The uniform
appearance which the houses presented, drew, 1
understand, an observation from - his Majesty, ex-
pressive. of his satisfaction.
This morning all Wales seemed to have poured
its population into Holyhead. The Welch
women, in their peculiar provincial dress of the
hat and cloak, were peculiarly striking to the
eye of a stranger. The pier, which has been
only completed within the last two years, is
one .of the finest in the kingdom. The entire
line.of wail, and the beach shelving down to the
water, were crowded with spectators all the day.
Until two o'clock it was generally understood
that his Majesty would sail at four o'clock in
the afternoon for the Bay of Dublin. Indeed, a
letter to that effect, of which the following is a
copy, was sent to Sir John Stanley, the principal
acting Magistrate of this place. The inhabitants
prepared an Address, and in answer to Sir John's
letter to Sir C. Paget, the Commodore wrote as
follows

His Majesty's Yacht, Royal George, Holyhead Boy, Aug. 7
MY DEAR SIR—I have communicated to the King the sen-
timents of loyalty and devotion which are contained in your
httzr, and in the Address which accompanied it, and I am
commanded by his Majesty to signify to the Magistrates,
(;:.;:rgy, Freeholders, and other inhabitants of Holyhead and
neighbourhood, that he duly appreciates the kind exprcs-
siens of attachment manifested towards him, on the pres en t occa-
sion, and that though, from circumstances, he *k,,s at this moment
I:Fevented from landing, his Majesty fully purposes upon his
rr.t..trn from Ireland to pay a visit to the always loyal and du-
tiful Island of Anglesea.-1 am, my dear Sir, your very faithful
kumble Servant, CHARLES PAGET.

Hut at two o'clock it wag COI2IP-7UniCitied to the
spectators that his Majesty would land in the
course of two or three hours. This intelligence
crowded the beach still more densely, and at five
o'clock his Majesty landed on the pier, amid a
royal salute from two pieces of ordnance p!auted
before the Custom House, and the ships of the
squadron. Immediately upon his landing on the
pier, Sir John Stanley, accompanied by a depu-
tation of the inhabitants, presented his Majesty
an Address of Congratulation on his arrival, to
-which his Majesty answered :

That he received with peculiar pleasure this r.9:1-..ctionato
and loyal Address of a Principality, the title of which, he had
borne during co long a portion of his life."
The spectators cheered his Majesty in the most
enthusiastic manner. The carriage of the Dlar-
queFs of Anglesey was in attendance, and his
Majesty set off for the Marquess's seat, followed
by several other carriages, and by a procession of
the people at least a mile long. The Marquess's
seat is twenty-seven miles hence. ills Majes-
ty at present intends to sail for ireland to-
morrow, at four o'clock in the afternoon. Ills
Moksty is in perfect health and spirits.

DUBLIN, AUG. G.

The latest intelligence that has reached this
city informs us, that his MAJESTY and the Royal
squadron were, on Thursday last, at two o'clock,
iii Yarmouth Roads (Isle of Wight), andekpect-
edflo arrive at Weymouth by that day's tide.—
S 4 W. Curtis arrived here the day before yes.
terday, and met with a most cordial reception.
The worthy Baronet appears in excellent health,
and enjpys the scene of exultation which univer-
sally prevails at this moment. He went to-day
to visit the Linen Hall, and was accompanied by
tlie Lord Mayor and Sir Benjamin Bloomfield,
with some other Gentlemen, one of whom was
Mr. King, the brother of the fiord MayM "They
aliseemed highly pleased with the building and
its interior economy. A piece
.of damask table:
cloth, intended for his Majesty, attracted the
attention of Sir Benjamin Bloomfield as being
particularly beautiful. The different orders ap-
pertaining to his Majesty were wrought in a style
of exquisite workmanship, and the execution ex-
cited not only admiration but surprise. The
party afterwards proceeded to see the Corn Ex-
change, Sir Benjamin Bloomfield and Sir Wil-
liam Curtis being in the Lord Mayor's carriage.
I must not here omit to state, that the linen mar-
ket, this year, has been very favourable. The
last Chester fair was better than any that has
been known for many years.

Hill of Howl:, near Dublin,
Half-past 3 o'clock.
Lord Sidmouth has just landed from the Light-
ning steam packet, and was received on the beach
by the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Talbot, brother of
the Lord Lieutenant, with the Earl of Kingston,
Mr. Massey Dawson, and some other distin-
guished characters. Among the persons of dis-
tinction who came in the same packet with his
Lordship were observed the Marquis of Win-
chester, tile Marquis of Headfort, Lord Hawar-

I den, Sir William Congreve, Sir Ulysses Burgh,
!Ste, His Lordship immediately proceeded to
the Castle in one of the Lord Lieutenant's
coaches, which was in waiting to receive him.
[ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.]
The influx of strangers from the country, and
from England, Into this city, is scarcely conceiv-
able, except to an eye-witness. The mansions
of the Nobility, and_of the absentee gentry,
which have been long deserted, and seemed des-
tined to immediate.- ruin, are already restored to
their former splendour and gaiety, and are fast
filling with the families and country friends of the
proprietors. The hotels, which are here very
numerous, and which were, until this occasion,
almost. as deserted as the former, are excessively
crowded with the most distinguished characters
of both countries. The boarding and lodging
houses command their own terms, which at any
other time might be deemed extremely exorbi-
tant, but on this occasion are submitted to with-
out objection. The obliging hostesses some-
times reply to the importunate inquiries that in-
deed they are quite full, but yet they would en-
deavour to accommodate a person, provided lie
would sleep on a sofa, or in a closet. Many of the
shopkeepers and tradespeople are disposing of all
their apartments, and retiring to the neighbour-
ing villages with their families, during the ap-
proaching festivities. The shops in Grafton-
street, Dame-street. Castle-street and Nassau-
street, are as crowded as ever were those in
Bond-street, to which they bear some resemblance.
The principal thoroughfares are as impassable,
by reason of the crowds of carriages passing on
in uninterrupted succession, as the Strand, Fleet-
street, or Cheapside, oil a rainy winters' clay.
In every society, from the highest to the lowest,
in the most private domestic circles as well as in
the public coffee-rooms and hotels, the conversa-
tion invariably turns on the arrival of his Ma-
jesty, with discussions on the manner in
which the people could best show their
gratitude and their love towards a Monarch
who condescends to honour them with his
presence, even the very announcement of which
has already diffused amongst them the inestimable
blessings of peace, harmony, and good will to-
wards one another. The very dresses which
ought to be worn on so momentous an occasion
have become a, subject of no small importance ;
and the classics, both ancient and modern, are
ransacked for appropriate mottos. Wherries,
yachts, pleasure and fishing boats, of which there
is an immense number in this noble bay, are in
the greatest requisition, and thousands of them
are already engaged at high prices to proceed
with parties of ladies and gentlemen to meet his
Majesty on the morning of that ardently-ex-
pected day, on which their " kind," their
" beloved Sovereign," "blessed," as they empha-
tically contend, with an " Irish heart," and with
' Irish feelings," is to land among them. Questions
and conjectures are sometimes started as to the
person, or the cause that influenced his Majesty
to visit this part of his dominions ; and the people
will Grant the merit to none but his Majesty.----
They insist that the thought originated with his
Majesty, and was the kind emanation of his own
Royal mind, unadvised, and unsolicited— a fa-
vour conferred on them ex suet ipsius prop rio motu.
The Ballast Board of this city have a line of yes-
Is at proper and convenient distances, extending
from the bay to Holyhead ; and, thus a species of
telegraphic communication is established, where-
by, it is calculated, the arrival of his Majesty's
squadron in Holyhead can be made known in
Dublin in less than '36' minutes.

The people in large groups proceeded to meet
the different packets arriving at llowth, the
Pigeon-house, and 3ir John Itogerson's quay,
from Holyhead and Liverpool, and make the
most minute inquiries respecting the contents of
the packages and cases directed for his Majesty.
I have observed an evident disappointment in
some persons on discovering- that some cases of
chandlery and of other manufactured articles
from his Majesty's London tradespeople had ar-
rived, directed for his Majesty's use. They
seemed as if the importation of those articles was
intended to convey to their minds a sense of the
inferiority of Irish to English manufacture, or
to give a preference to the London over the
Dublin tradespeople. A quantity of cut-glass,
the arrival of which I was not able, after much
inquiry, to ascertain, has been reported 'to have
arrived by some of the Liverpool packets, and
has been the subject of Much conversation among
some persnns with whom I had an opportunity of
associating. The thing excited the more asto-1
nishment, as it is a matter of universal notoriety
that glass can be had in Ireland at a cheaper rate,l
and•much 'better than in any part of the world.
It is really gratifying, notwithstanding this little
jealousy, to observe how ingenious the same per-
sons are in exculpatine; the King from any fault,
if fault there be, on this subjecL Sonic most
zealously argue, that. his Majesty would never
be guilty of the inconsistency of Ordering_over
English manufactured articles, and at
,the same!
time recommend the general use of Irish mann-
factored_ cloth, on the wietuarai)lo occasion.
of his own arrival on their shores. All
agree that. the orders must have been
surreptitiously obtained by the London trades-
men, .without the knowledge of his Ma-
jesty, or even of- any of those distinguished
personages who form his Majesty's Household. I
have. stated these few observations out. of the
many which I had an opportunity of making hi
mixing with the people ; but in general nothing
can even be conceived like the enthusiasm with
,vhich they one and all hail the auspicious visit
with which his Majesty intends to honour them.
They have resolved to sacrifice every feeling,
either selfish or interested, in order to meet
suitably the honour which his Majesty has done
them.

Four o'clock.—The accounts which reached
town last night and this morning, with respect to
the Queen's illness, have cast a gloom over the
joyous prosperity which every corner of this me-
tropolis before exhibited. Iler name here does
not seem to excite any party or political feeling ;
but yet the people regard her as a member of the
Illustrious• House of Brunswick, to which they
seem most ardently attached, and deeply, though
silently, sympathise in her misfortunes, which

TIIE KING.

THE KING passed from Holyhead to Dublin
on 'Wednesday, before the advices of the
QuEtN's death had reached 17m, and when the
latest news represented HER M “ESTY to have
experienced important relief.

Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Holyhead,

dated tint Inst.-One P. M.

" His MAJESTY landed at five yesterday after-
noon on the Pier, accompanied by the Marquess
of ANGLESEA, and proceeded to his Lordship's
seat-. It is just reported that the KING will
embark at three this afternoon."

Tnr: QUEEN.—It is highly satisfactory to
know that an authentic Report from the Me-
dical Attendants of HER MAJESTY will be given
to the public, respecting the cause of her death ;
but it is of importance that it should be commu-
nicated speedily, in order to put a stop to the

malignant rumours in circulation, one in parti-
cular, referring to an actor of eminence, who is
distinguished for private humanity, and who
might otherwise deeply suffer by vulgar credulity.

[FROM A.OOII.II.ESPONDENT.]
This morning an interview took place at the
Home Department Office, between Sir GEORGE
NAYLLR, of the Herald's College, and Mr. HOB-
HOUSE, the Under Secretary of State, for the pur-
pose of making some necessary preparations, and
for issuing orders for regulating the procession
on the removal of her MAJESTY'S body from
town to Harwich. Mr. Thomas, of the Lord
Chamberlain's 0 ffice,and Mr. Bailey, of the house
of Bailey and Sanders, his Majesty's cabinet-
makers and upholsterers, subsequently had an
• interview with Mr. HobliouFe, and it was deter-
mined to proceed with the funeral preparations
only as far as would be requisite, whether his Ma-
jesty should decide that her Majesty's remains
should be interred either at Windsor or Brunswick.
To-morrow is the day fixed for the removal of
the body from Brandenburgh House, and her Ma-
jesty's household only will be allowed to form
part of the funeral procession ; but it depends
entirely upon the arrival of an express with
despatches from Ireland, whether the removal
will take place to-morrow or not. Her Majesty's
coffin (the interior one) is lined with white satin,
the bottom is covered with a satin mattrass, and
a pillow of the same at the head. Her Ma-
jesty, prior to her dissolution, expressed a
wish to lie buried in a night dress of her
own, and not in a shroud ;—her wish was
complied with, and yesterday Mr.. Bailey and
his assistants, in the presence of Lord Hood, Lady
flood, Lady Hamilton, Mr. Wvlde, Alderman
Wood, &c. removed the body from the board
on which it was laid out, into the coffin, it hav-
ing been previously attired in the grave-clothes,
viz. a long white night-gown, with a frill round the
neck, and a plain cap on the head. The body being
within the lead coffin, several men went down last
night to solder it up; but her Majesty's Executors
and their friends determined that it should not be
closed up till the arrival of intelligence from his
Majesty. This morning, workmen went to Bran-
denburgh House from Messrs. Bailey and Sanders,
to darken the room which contains the Queen's
body. The windows and walls are covering with
black cloth, and the apartMent will have a very
impressive funereal aspect. Wax lights will be
burnt night and day, and some of her Majesty's
friends will sit by the corpse continually till it
'is removed.

. _
THE Quces's COFFIN.—The outside Coffin is
nearly completed (except the Plate, which will
not be engraved till orders are received from
Government with the form of the Inscription to
be placed thereon) ; it is made of fine maho-•
gany, covered with crimson velvet, with gold
furniture and gold nailsl ornamentally •placed in
the form of diamonds on the sides, and the lid
and ends corresponding. The cedar coffin was
made by Mr. Jarvis, of Piccadilly, for Mr. Busch,
the person who had made some cabinet work for
her Majesty.
This afternoon her Majesty's Will is to be
opened in the presence of a gentleman on the
part of his Maje:ity's Government, appointed by
the Earl of Liverpool, and her Majesty's house-
hold. The seal has net vet been broken since it
was closed some time before her Majesty's death.
Her Majesty's Coffin is very superb, and is pre-
cisely of the same size, form, and materials as
that of her late Majesty.

The Paris Journals of Tuesday contain little
additional intelligence respecting the state of af-
fairs between Turkey and Russia, but that little
spews the hostile feeling existing between these
two Powers. ft appears, that before the Greeks
in Upper Moldavia passed the Pruth, as men-
tioned in our Paper yesterday, they had taken
up a position at Spuleni, which the Turks Neese
preparing to attack, when the Russians inter-
posed, under the pretext, that the Turkish balls
would .fall upon the Russian territory; and before
the Turks could make other arrangements in
order to attack the Greeks in flank, so as to avoid
all just cause of further interference on the ground
alleged by the Russians, the Greeks ensured
their safety by cros<ing the Pruth. From Frank-
fort, we learn, that Count G.tuatA,c, First Secre-
tary to the French Embassy at the Court of
Russia, arrived in that city on the 31st of July,
with dispatches from Petersburg. The public
funds had fallen at Petersburg since the 17th
of July nearly 2 per cent. from the apprehension
of immediate hostilities. 'lt is added that on
the 30th ultimo four Commissaries from the Na-
tional Bank of Vienna had arrived at Frankfort.

'[li
e cause of Greece is represented to be pro-
gressively advancing in the Greek provinces of
Turkey ; and we way daily expect to hear of

the arrival of Prince YPSILANTI in the More
whither he is travelling at the express invitation
of the Greeks to assume the command in chief .
of their forces. An article from Corfu of the
30th of June states, that the Governor of the
lonian Islands has determined to enforce strictly
the execution of the treaty, by which the Bar-
bary ships are required not to come within forty
miles of the lonian Sea. This measure will give
the Greeks a great advantage over the Turks, as
they will now have nothing to fear from the ships
sent by the Barbary States to the assistance of
the Porte.

One of the Petersburgh papers of the 13th of
July contains an account of the steps taken by-
the Baron de STRocolsroFr in favour of the,
banker DANES', which differs in no material
point from the particulars already published.
We lament to report that the ill-fated towo
of Smyrna has been the theatre of fresh disor-i
tiers. The following are extracts respecting this,
deplorable event:—

" FROM THE BANKS OF THE DANUBE, FRONTIERS
OF SERVIA, JULY 7.---It is asserted that the Musselmen.
Various at the concessions made to the Foreign Consuls by the
pnnishment„of *authors of the late excesses) set fire to th°
quarters of the town inhabited by the Christians, and that thre:
parts of Smyrna fell a prey to the conflagration. Very fel/
Europeans, it is affirmed, have escaped, and the English Call'
sul is cited as, being amongst the number of the victims. 'We
anxiously look for further details from thence.—(Counit%

bard the town."—(QUOTIDIEXNE.)

Hamburgh Papers to the 4th inst. reached tis
this morning. We insert their contents, which
are important, if well-founded :
" AUGUST 3.—A letter froal
Odessa, of the 9th July, says, The political
prospects are very variable here. Only two daY5
ago there was not an individual who doubted °I
the speedy breaking out of a war with the Porte:
to-day again we are persuaded it will not take
place. The last accounts from Constantinoplg
are likewise more favourable. The Bairamu

without much bloodshed, though there were
good reasons to expect that it would be the sir
nal for the massacre of all the Greeks still at
Constantinople.—Yesterday two Couriers left
this town ; it is said they carry to Baron Strogo`
noff the ultimatum of the Emperor. Fugitives

" ODESSA, JULY report is genelaiS -
prevalent that his Majesty the Emperor of
Russia has sent by a courier a very flatterig
letter to Baron Strogonoff, expressing his partite
cular satisfaction with his firm conduct and Ze3l
in the difficult circumstances of his official
duties. It is further asserted, that a privy."'
note to the Ambassador gave him instructions
from his Court for his future proceedings. Si'lce
then people speak with cofidence of the spee'll
commencement of hostilities between the Russieus
and the Turks. We know for certain that
Baron Strogonoff is still narrowly observed in 1115
country house at Bujukdere, and that he has
broken off all connitunica.tion with the Porte.
