LORD CIIA?rIBEILLAIN'i OFFICE

Monday Evening, Aug. 20, 1821.
It is requested,.tbat-those Gentlemen who were attis
JE s'rY's Levee to-day, and do not consider it absolutely ne-
cessary to be present with their families at the Drawing-room
to-morrow, will abstain from attending, for the purpese of pre-
venting the extreme inconvenience which must otherwise inevi-
tably take place, from insufficiency of the means of reception
and -aczvinitiodation.

The Crowd who-attended the .Levee thiS tiny,
formed so -compact a body from the lobby to the
presence,chamber,:that. a gentleman who lost a
diamond.buckle from iris shoe, was, on its being
observed on. the floor, unable to find room to stoop
for it for nearly hail:an:hour.- It wilts. calculate d
that the presertMtion!; to, ,his,Alajesty averaged
700 per hour The Itorrian Catholic Archbishops
and Bishops were hotiOnied with permissiOn to
present their address to his Majesty in the closet.
They were habited in a court dress of black, with
silk cloaks of the same colour, having the pectOn-al
cross suspended by gold chains. The deputation
consisted of—
The Most Reverend Doctix_Curtis, the Primate Most Re-
verend Doctor Trey;
.Areliblshop.of Dublin ; Reverend
Doctor Murray, his coadjutor; Most Reverend Doctor Kelly,
Archbishop of Team ; Right Revc.rend Doctors Plunk.tt,
Bishop of Meath ; Murphy; Bishop of Cork; Doyle, Bishop of
Leiglilin and Pcrns Archdeacon of I,:ilfenoro. ; M‘tiauran,
_Bishop of Ardagh ; :M arum, Bishop of Ossory.
An Address was read- to his; Majesty by the
Most Rev. Dr. Murray ; and his Majesty's reply
was pronounced by him with that elegance of
enunciation and manner, for which he is so dis-
tinguished: Before any of the -AddiesSes were
received, Lord Fingall was specially invited by.
his Majesty to a private audience, when the King
was pleased to express himself in terms- very
complimentary toltis. Lordship, and to notify- to
him his gracious preasure that he should be in
vested with the Collar of the Order of Si. Pa-
trick, which was immediately done by the Ulster
King at Arms. , .

Ills Majesty departs from Dublin for Hanover
on the 2d of next month ; he is anxious to teach
his` dominions during the favourable sea-
son.--He still continues to express himself with
the utmost warmth towards this country; and in-
deed the reception that he has, met with should
exact acknowledgments from any Monarch, under
any circumstances. He said to a distinguished
personage who questioned him on his estimate of
Irelamd, " My heart was full when I landed in
this hospitable and generous land; it IS now over.
flowing." The. Add,res's from the Catholic Body
at large was preseritA to the King, at the-levee,
by Lord Fingall. 'On Friday next, -it is said,
that his Majesty will visit the Dublin Society
House, and partake of a splendid dejeune a la
foarchdle, which is providing fur the occasion.
[PRIVATE LETTER.]
A UGIL'4T 20.—HiS Majesty held a
Levee to-day, at the Palace of Dublin. It was
attended by all the Nobility and Gentry of the
country, many of whom had come totown-from
the remotest parts of the Kingdom, in order to
he present at• the first .Levee ever held by a Bri-
tish King in.lreland. The hour appointed in the
Lord Chamberlain's notice was one o'clock,• but
at ten minutes after eleven the carriages began to
roll into the Palace Yard. By one o'clock the
reception-rooms, though. many and large, were
chocked to Suffocation, and it was deemed neces-
sary to close the doors against the admission,
of more visitors; until those who occupied the
rooms had • retired. At a quarter past one, the
King arrived in a travelling carriage, attended by
a large escort of cavalry. The'Lord Lieutenant.
had preceded his Majesty by about an hour.--
Such an assemblage as presented themselves on
this occasicii to mark their attachment tO.their. So-
rereign, who is idolized among us, exceeded any
thing ever before witnessed in this country. The
reception-rooins occupy one square of the Pa-
lace ; they are splendid and spacious rooms,
and have, at great. distances one from the
other, thirty-one windows ; yet these rooms,.
as we have just mentioned, could not Con-
tain more than one-half of the company who
presented thernsalves, Many of the equipages
.were remarkable for their splendour ; the num-.
ber of carriages was 1262, . several Of them Con-
taining two, three, and four liersons. When the
first division of the company retired, after a lapse
of fort minutes ti(qsqconcLw.asaovnitted, and
they ContiOned' to arrive until half-past three ;
so that the setting down froui the carriages con-
sumed four 'hours and twenty minutes! Mr.
Mash, " of the'Lord Chamberlain's Office,
dared, he never in his life recollected, even. at
the CourfoU.St. James's,_ so great a Levee,. in
point of numbers ; 5000 persons 'certainly at-
'tended. On the s arrival of his Majesty from
the Phainix Park, the baud struck up the grand.
national anthem, and cheers from ten thousand
voices welconied the Sovereign. His Majesty
received in: his closet, the Addresses of the Ro-
man Catholics, the Presbyterians, and the
Quakers, and at -the 'Levee were presented nu-
merous Addresses from all parts of Ireland. Tlis
..Xajesty was in excellent health and spirits, and
supported the fatigue of receiving so vast ati es,
•semblage without any apparent difficulty. There
"were present, among other Noblemen.--

The Lord Lieutenant, the Prince Paul and 'the Prince
Nicholas Esterhazy, Count Metternich, Baron Fagel; the Dukes
of Leinster.' and . M'ontrose; the Marquesses Londonderry,
Downshire, Graham, Donegal, 1/eadfOrt, t onyngham Tho-
mond, and Winchester ; the Earls of Belmore, -Mount Charts,
:Mount Cashel, Farnham, Errol, Oosfort, Ormonde-and Oss'orY,'
Carrick, Caledon, O'Neill, Donoughinore, Potarlington,
Howth, Wicklow, fiingston, Llandaff, Clanricarde,
Bective, Meath, Castleitcwart; and Glengall ; Viscounti-
Sidznouth, Chetwynd, .Powerscourt, De Vesci, 1)e Chabot,
liawnrden,Munck, 0-ormanstown Frankfort de Montmorency.,
Northland, Lismore, DOneiage, Lorton,i and %un-; Lords :las-
.

The Paris joUrnals of Tuesday, which arrived
last night, contain no decisive intelligence re-
specting the question of Peace or War, bat' leave
'little doubt of .the uear approach of hostilities.
'Fbes'e anticipations are strengthened by -the con,'
tents of Dutch; Hamburigh, and- other German
Papers,_ which arrived alsO last night, corn nun .
eating articles from Itussiamhich breathe nothing
but war.

An
_extract of" a letter from. Rio Janeiro,
April 14, says"----" I shall remain here for ttorae
months, but I fear .with a considerable risk,
owing to the confusion of politics after the Kivu
had left for• Lisbon, v;hich caused a most. dis-
agl•eeable sensation among the people,. and. I
think will ultimately lead • to a civil war. A
short time since, the citizens met to appoint De-
puties to Lisbon, and as it is usual on those elec-
tions that political discussions run high,- and al-
though
,we were assured that the military would
not interfere, it proved contrary : a body of sol-
diers entered the btiilding, which is situated ou
the margin of the sea, and, numbers were forced
•
out by the windows and drowned ; others were
charged with the bayone,t up and down the
rooms, and those that could not escape.—*
According to report the Bishop of Peabla is the
person who occasioned the whole; every one
here is uuder arms. It is reported that Lord

COCITRANE:wiII proceed to Acapulco to co-operate
with the Patriots, who possess nearly the whole
Kingdom of Mexico.';_
An extract of a letter from Bikakeley, Junel:2o,
states that " General JACKSON, with his troops,
:`started yesterday from his -cantonment at Mtknt-
,petier for% Ptnsacola. The Hornet,- with the
Commissioners on, board, has also arrived at.
Pensacola."

• The Inquest on the body of GEort-or. Fa.:6cts
was adjourned
,from last night, till four o'clock
this day, inconsequence of the indisposition of
one of the Jurors. It is impossible to expr=ess
too- strongly the unqualified• indignation which
we feel at the barefaced attempts made by the
Opposition Press to pervert the evidence, to bias
the, minds of the Jury and the Public, and :mite
a savage malignity to bring the lives of sorne of •
the. soldiers . into jeopardy. Thus, one of the
Witnesses, JouN LLOYD, having clearly, esta
blished, in opposition to. all their assertions to the
contrary, that clouds of stones, severely wounding
the soldiers, were thrown before the-firing com-
menced, they set all their ingenuity ..to work, by,
verbal criticisms, and quibbling technicalities, to. •
pervert the plain and obvious meaning of the wit-
ness, and to turn those very circumstances which
.are at once consonant with justice and favourable
to 'humanity, into engines of their own implacable
malevolence. One of these writers, as. an
.stance, says, 4.‘ In our Report of yesterday's
proceedings at the adjourned Inquest on G Eo TIGS
FRANCIS, JOHN LLOYD will be found to have

expressly stated, ' About ten minutes elapsed
between the throwing of the stones and the tiring
—between five and ten minutes, but I c:.“"
not speak exactly to the time.'—.lf an in-
terve, such as that above described, took place
between the throwing of statics and the firin/
the firing could not possibly be in self-defence •
—Now, upon. this we would remark, that the
fair inference, to be drawn from the words 0f the

witness, is, that about five or ten minutes elapsed'
between the time when the witness first sr=2"'
stones thrown, until he heard the firing—that
that to his knowledge, or in his belief, stones W
tbzued to be thrown at the soldiers, daring 1118
wholeperiodof five or.ten minutes, before them"'"
tarp were at length reluctantly Compelled to Fie
self-defence. He states, in describing the contest
between the mob on the one hand, and the under-
taker's men and the military on the other,•"'helj.
it was attempted to turn th 4 hearse by forge
wards gt. C " During this time, the
throwing of stones continued with more violence
than ever. I saw several soldiers strucArby
bats and stones. I considered some Of the°
severely struck. I saw one struck on the head
his cap. was struck off. When the Guards passed''
•
saw several soldiers' with blood running dosvn „.
their faces. The stones were large,--sn'tle as
big as bricks,—some stones three or four pount"s
weight. ISaw no firing ; if there had been arY
firing, at this time at. Cumberland Gate, I must
have heard it,. The sound of firing struck*
ear -:after the soldiers had passed. I thvirght t.?
soldiers behaved with the greatest forbe—.

The.y: seemed brought to that discipline, ---•
could bear pelting.. This opinion is founded
what I, observed. I never saw them attempt `°
cut at any. man: They drove -then' back' • and..;,•
flourished their swords to intirnidate the PeuPle'
flow monstrously wicked is it, so
to endeavour
to pervert evidence like this, as•to turn it ag`l4• ,

The remains of her late MAJESTY have reached
eilthaven. Early on Sunday morning last the
ftlaeral squadron, consisting of his Majesty's ship
Glasgow, with the Royal corpse on board, ac-
"alpanied by the Tyne, the Rosario, the frV,ye,
d the Gannett, appeared off that 'port. They
bad not been brought to an anchor when the mail
left Cuxhaven ; but as the wind was then blowing
from the eastward, it. was supposed that it would
be necessary to moor the vessels, and that some
days might elapse before the fleet, on account of
the prevalence of easterly winds, could proceed
up the Elbe as far as Stadt, the place fixed upon
for the disembarkation.
