Orn ci AL:).--41fics-Most Excellent MAJESTY has
been graciously pleased t..) command, that on the
evening of the Coronation Day, the Theatres
Royal Drury Lane, Covent Garden, the Hay-
market, the English Opera House ; and also
Sadler's Wells Theatre, shall be opened gratui-
tously to the Public ; and, in order to prevent
'confusion and to secure comfort 'to the audience,
they are to be admitted by tickets only_to the
different parts of the respective Theatres. Every
person who wishes to attend, is to apply between
the hours of ten and. two on Thursday next, .at
the Office of one of the above Theatres, where
Tickets will be delivered. Each individual on
delivering his name and address may obtain two
Tickets, one 'for a Lady and another for a Gen-
tleman, until the whole number of the Tickets is
delivered ; and no greater number of Tickets will
-be issued than ~for the number of persons the
Houses will hold.
[Notice to the above effect was last night given from the
.Stages of the several Theatres, and received with great ap-
plause.]

The concourse of specdators who went to view
the external preparations at Westminster yester-
day was beyond all calculation ; the whole area
in the neighbourhood of the platform was crowded
till a late hour, The Committee of Safety, at
the head of which is Mr. Blurt, of the Board of
Works, is indefatigable in superintending the
erection of scaffolds. Several have been con-
demned as unsafe.

Yesterday morning, at half-past seven o'clock,
two marquees were pitched in the Green Park,
to make arrangements for the fire-works to be
let oft; on the day of the Coronation. In the
afterneon, between four and five o'clock, they
were raised, and we understood removed to fly&
Park, the'plan being altered, it was said, to let
the fire-works off from that Park.

The Dean and Chapter of Westminster have
appropriated some seats in the Gallery of West-
minster Abbey to the Members of the Choir,
which are at their disposal.
Yesterday morning the Music• to be performed
at the Coronation of his Majesty was rehearsed
at the Argyll Roorils; under the direction of Mr.
Shield, the Master of the King's Band ; Mr.
Cramer led the Band ; Mr. Itnyvett presided at
the G rand Piano-forte. In the etcning another, re-
hearsal took place in the King'SPaiace,Pall-mall.
Yesterday evening, the tickets of the Lord
Great Chamberlain, for the admission of 'the
several gentlemen connected with the Press: to
Westminster-Hall, upon the day of the Corona-1
tion, were distributed from his office at the
House of Lords, and it is but justice to Lord
Gwydir to state, that his Lordship has Mani- 1
fested acordial disposition to render to these gen-
tlemen the utmost accommodation in his power.'
Lord Gwydir and his Secretary, Mr.' Fel-
lowes, were engaged the whole of yesterday in
appointing door-keepers, and making the neces-
sary arrangements for the admission of persons
having tickets, on Thursday. The number of
regulations which are yet to be completed make
his Lordship's duties doubly fatiguing. A vast
number of most respectable persons have tendered
their services, gratis, to assist his Lordship's views.
All the proprietors of scaffolds, and other ac-
commodations for spectators, are laying in large
stocks of provision for the day of ceremonial ;
and as many persons wilt take their places over
night, this becomes the more necessary. Unless
persons are determined to take their places at a
very early hour on Thursday morning, from a
calculation which has been made of the time it
will take for each carriage to, set down,' it will
be impossible all who have tickets can obtain
admission.
It is understood that the dinner to the Hall
will be served by sixty soldiers, who, froth their
regular motions, Will not interfere with each
other, and thus facilitate the plans already so
well digested. The dinner will be one of the
most sumptuous and splendid ever' yet served oil
any public festival tvhatever.
Yesterday morning the Champion's horse, and
that of Lord Howard of Effingham, were taken
to the Champion's stable ; and at ten o'clock Mr.
Dymoke, the Champion, mounted his charger,
and exercised for an hour in the Hall. Mr.
Blythe; the Riding Master, passed Lord Howard's
horse through all his paces. Lord Torrington
and several other Noblemen witnessed the scene.

The following is the official ceremonial to be
observed on the introduction of the Champion :

THE CHALLENGE.

Before the Second Course' the Deputy appoints; to officiate
as King's Champion for the Lord of the Manor of Scrivelsby,
in Lincolnshire, will enter the Hall on horseback, in a complete

pion's Challenge, in the words following :
" if any person, of what degree soever, high or low, shall

" of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, De-
" fender of the Faith, Son and next Heir to our Sovereign
" Lord King George the Third, the last King, deceased, to be

,ground at one o'clock on Thursday morning
from whence they proceed to Privy Oardetri, to

the right Of the line of Infantry, in consequence
of his Majesty being the Captain-General, and
his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex Colonel.

to the duties which they are to undertake on the
day of the Coronation.
The First Bucks Yeomanry, under Sir W.
Clayt*n, were expected yesterday at Portman,
street barracks.
There will be a Grand Review of 'Yeomanry,
&c. in Hyde Park, by the 'King, before they re-
turn home from attending the Coronation.
The disembodied Staffs of 'the following
Militia Regiments have xeceiyed orders to be in

On Saturday evening-, between five and six
o'clock, he z Majesty, accompanied

in her carriage, and proceeded over Westminster-
bridge.
Yesterday a Circular was forwarded to the
Magistrates of the various Police Offices in the
Metropolis, signed," Sidmouth," requesting them
to attend at Whitehall:. this day, for the purpose
of considering the most proper method of distri-
butin the various, special, and other constables',
who hAve been. sworn in
.to preserve the publiC
tranquillity at the apprinching national ceremony
on the 19th. We understand that an immense
body have been sworn in, and yesterday was de-
voted to that purpose at many public places.
The Royal Balloon will ascend from the
Green Park, near the Basin, at twelve o'clock,
on the day of his Majesty's Coronation, the
ground being marked out under the direction of
Sir W. Congreve.

We understand that Mr. Elliston intends to
indulge the populace with three butts of porter,
gratuitously, in front of Drury-lane Theatre, 9n
the evening of the Coronation.
We Cannot but in juStlee- notice the loyalty and
liberality of Mr. Jones, Marshal of the King's
Bench Prison, who has been pleased to announce
to the prisoners, 700 in number, that all who,May
think proper to accept of 2.1 b of beef, and an
equal portion of two butts of porter, will, by
giving in their names to the turr..key of the lower
gate) be furnished with the former on Wednesday
next, and the lat-ter at twelve o'clock on Thurs-
day, in order to regale themselves, in celebration
of his Most Gracious Majesty's. Coronation.

Items of Preparation for the Rejoicings at Manchester.—
Extract of t. letter, dated the 14th instant :—" Ten oxen to'be
roasted ; 50 sheep ditto ; 400 barrels of strong, beer ; 4,800
loaves of bread . • thousands of buns and medals for the children,
of whom 26,000 are expected to walk in procession, and the
whole to sing God save-the King.
At.Arundel, the day of the Coronation is intended to be ce-
lebraill in the Duke of Norfolk's Park, by a public dinner.—
,It is also intended to be enlivened with various pastimes, and
:gymnastic exercises. The children of the National School are
to be regaled with roast beef
,and plumb-pudding. His Grace
the Duke of Norfolk will give two fat bucks on the occasion.
At Brighton and Lewes, public dinners will take place. Mr.
Ilyarn Lewis intends to convey Phoebe Hassell, of Brighton, to
the scene of festivity in a post-chaise. She is 106 years of age,
and remembers three Coronations.

It seems that the celebration of the Coronation is to be a joy-
ous day for the labouring classes of the poor at Brighton,, and
we doubt much whether, in any part of his Majesty's dominions„,
there will be More real mirth and hilatity than in this place, so
much indebted for its prosperity to the countenance and support
it has received from its Royal patron. It is estfinated that there
will be-at least 12,000 persons present to partake of the amuse-
ments of the day, which an active committee of the inhabitants
are now preparing. After the ushering in of the morning with
the usual peal of bells, salutes, &c. there are to be two, if not
three, oxen roasted whole on the leVel, and distributed, with an
adequate quantity of bread and good strong_ beer, at least 30
hogsheads. There will be dancing ' several balloons let off at
intervals ; racing for pigs with soaped tails ; ladies running for
gown-pieces ; ajingling match ; cutting for a goose; a race with
wheelbarrows, blindfolded ; foot-ball, &é. To conclude with an
immense bonfire, and a grand display of fire-works, for which
purpose a most eminent artist from London will be engaged.
At Hereford a ball and other festivities are announced ; at the
ball it is notified that " Ladies are requested to appear in white
and scarlet dresses."
At Ashburtha and Ironithn will be Divine service at the
Churches in the morning • after which the poor are to !)-2. te-
galed with meat and drink. The Gentlemen and teackseer_
will also dine together ; and there will be a bail and supper.

HIS MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—it is
confidently reported that his MAJESTY intends to
honour this ancient city with his preSenCe, on his
return from Ireland. A plan of the Palace of
flolyrood-house has been sent him, with which
his Majesty was highly pleased.. It is likewise
reported, that some furniture, intended for the
accommodation of the Emperors of Russia and
Austria, and the King of Prussia, when in this
country, will immediately be shipped for Edin-
burgh, and placed in the-Palace of our ancient
Kings.—ln corroboration of this repc;t we may
add, that last night (Thursday, the 12th inst.),
do parade the Lord President stated to his
regiment, the Royal Edinburgh Volunteers,
thatit was confidently believed by p,,rsons in
high official situations, that his Majesty intended
to visit this *country, and ,that in that case he,
may be expected about the first week of Sep-
tember. He further desired that: it should be
understood that any. .recruiti that. should enter
at present would be brought forward to join* the
battalion on that occasion.—(Edinburgh Stun)

ready Gazetted, we understand the following

THE tSUN.

SOLEM Qt IS DIOERE FALSUM dUDEAT?

LONDON,
TUESDAY, itiLY 17, 1821.

It was confidently reported in the City this
morning that the Emperor ALE/CANDER was dis-
pleased at the conduct of Baron STROGONOFF,
his Arnhassacl_or at Constantinople, and had re-
called him. Our inquiries at the other end of
the town did not furnish us with any corrobora-
tive intelligence on the subject.

We received, this morning, the Paris Papers of
Friday and Satorday. The news from Odessa
is calculated to give an immediate and decisive
turn to the affairs of C reeve. A war between
Russia and the Porte seems, inevitable. On the
12th of June the Governor of OnEssA communi-
cated to the merchants two oflidal notes trans-
mitted by Baron tie STROGONOFF, the Russian
Ambassador at Constantinople, to Count LANGE-
RON, the Governor General. These notes set
forth the repeated unsuccessful representations
made by the Russian Ambassador to the Turkish
Government respecting the violation of ex-
isting treaties on .the part of the Porte by
placing an embergo on the ships laden with
corn. The first
_document is a copy of a
letter addressed to the Porte by Baron de STRO-
-1 GONOFF, on the 12tli (2'sth) of May, relative to
the embargo; and the second bears the same
date, and is the copy of au order addressed to
the Chancery of Russian Commerce by Baron de.
STROGONOFF. It prescribes the formalities to
be observed by the masters of ships and by the
merchants, izf protesting against the refusal of
the Turkish Government to grant them a pas-
sage fnrough the Dardanelles, and a free
trade, and in order to secure payment for their
cargoes, and to obtain the indemnities, to which
they may, in consequence of this detention, be en-
titled. In the preamble of this order the Russian'
Ambassador says, that the moment he observed
all his efforts to change the determination' of the
Porte were useless, he immediately dispatched a
messenger with the intelligence to his IMperial
MAJESTY. On the 6th (18th) of June, an irri.2
ll
portant official notice. (see our London Journals,
fourth page) was published at Odessa, by order
of the Governor General Count DE LANGERON,
and produced a strong sensation.

•_
The Austrian Observer contains an account of
the opeiations in
.Moldavia very unfavourable to
the cause of the Greeks ; but all the statements
frourevery other quarter concur in representing
the affairs of the Greeks as going on prosperously.
Letters from Ote Banks of the Danu.be state, that
Prince YPSILA.NTI has removed his head-quarters
to Chalomitz, and that his advanced posts were on
the left bank of the Danube, from Korolunga to
Obilescht. it is said the Greeks in Levaria have
gained some new advantages.
Madrid was quiet on the 4th of July, the date
of the last accounts, and the KING appears to
have become exceedingly popular since he con-
sented to convoke the Cortes Extraordinary.—
MERINO still eludes the active pursuit of the
Royal troops. A letter from Alicant of the 20th
of June, states, that it had been declared offi-
cially that a vessel from Alexandria had arrived
at Venice with the plague on board, and that
in consequence all the vessels from Venice and
Alexandria will be subjected to a rigorous qua-

ran tine.

" PARIS, JULY 13.—An event as dreadful as
it is singular in it; circumstanees, took place on
Wednesday last at the Bois de Boulogne. In
the afternoon M. Al*** and a lady arrived in 'a
carriage at the entrance of the wood ; they
alighted, and after having directed the coachman
to wait, they proceeded into the interior of the
wood. About an hour after Wards M. M"* re-
turned alone, sent baCk the ceach, and dispatched
one of .his servants to Paris with a letter to his
wife. The latter hastened to the spot,andfound her
husband and the lady who had accompanied hin
dead by the'side of each other. It appears that
M.M--- had blown out the brains of his com-
panion, and then committed suicide, and that the
letter sent to his wife had no other object than
to inform her of this horrible catastrophe,
" JULY 14.—The following are further de-
tails respecting the event which took place on
Wednesday in the -Bois de Boulogne,.and which
lead us to hope that the lady who accompanied
yi.l\l* has survived the dreadful fate designed
for her. At a late hour last night, a woman pre-

sented herself at the gate of the Bois de Boulogne
in a state of terror and disordei alMost indescrib-
able, requested the gate-keeper to let her out, and
fled towards Paris with-the.utrnost precipitation:
sib
A few minutes- after, another Lady a,pp,arently
as much agitated presented herself on the outside
of the gate, stating that she had received a letter
from her husband, inforining her that he 'could
not support the love he felt for another- woman,
and was determined to put an end to his own exist-
ence, and to that of the objectof hisjpassion, whom
he had taken thither for that purpose. The 'wood
was immediately searched, and the husband was
found motionless in his cabriolet. At first
they supposed he was asleep, but they soon dis-
covered he was lifeless: Near him was lying a
discharged pistol and' the head-dress of a woman
covered with blood. It is said M. M* * * had
proposed to the lady whom he brought with hint
to the wood to destroy each other, but after a
violent and long struggle, she succeeded in escap-
ing from him."
