Macdonald, and his amiable niece, Miss
with whom his Excellency and suite drank tea. Went
on board at seven P.m. and sit sail immediately for the
Giant's Causeway; reached the frith silt* on the even-
ing of the sth ; landed early on the 6th ; visited the
Giant's Causeway and Glenluce Castle; slept that night
at Cusbindall, and proceeded next morning, the 7th, soi
Glenarm. Castle, where his Excellency meant to have
passed
.that day, but unfortunrely the Countess of
Antrim 'was from home. EMbarked the saint day on
board_thecutter, and reached Inverary on the fallow-
iAg morning, the Bth, where, immediately on his Ex-
cellency's landing, he wis waited upon by the Duke 01
Argyle's Secretary, who kindly invited his Excellency
and suite to go to the Castle, and remain there during
their stay; which kind invitation, from the absence of
the noble proprietor, his Excellency politely declined,
but availed himself of the opportunity of seeing the
Castle, and of viewing the beautiful grounds of that
superb and magnificent place. On the 9th, left lnve•
rary,.at four o'clock A.ll. reached Lochlomond in time
for th et morning's steam-boat, and after making the
cpmplete tour of that beautiful Lake, reached the hos-
pitable mansion of Mr. Macdonald Buchanan, at Ross
Abbey, to dinner; remained there that night, and the
whole of the next day.
During the second day, the Marshal to lc an offer-
tunity of visiting the grounds of Buchanan, and the
Duke of Montrose's most superb gardens, which he
pronounced to be the finest he had seen in Great Britain.
His Grace of Montrose having been detained by official
duties in London, had not arrived on the 10th. Vi-
sited 'also on that day, Mr. Buchanan, of Ardoch, at
Balloch Castle, which, as well as Tullochewen Castle,
on the opposite side of the Leven, are very fine speci.
mens of modem architecture. On Monday, the 11th,
proceeded from Ross Abbey to Glasgow, byDumbarton.
On that same day visited the College of Glasgow, and
the Museum there, one of the finest in Europe; also
saw Mr. Mitchell's tambouring by machinery impelled
by steam; likewise the singeing of the cotton and other
objects, very much worthy the notice of the stranger in
Glasgow. On Tuesday morning, the 12th, visited
Mraodonteath's extensive dye and bandana works, &c.
with which his Excellency was much gratified - and
after that, the Marshal and suite proceeded by Bothwell
Castle, Hamilton Palace, Wishaw Castle, and Coltness,
to• Sir Henry Stewart's, at Allmon House, on a VW'.
to' Mrs. Macdonald, of Staffa, and her family, where
the Field Marshal and his suite met a large party at
dinner, and remained that night and on the following
day set out for Dublin, by Lanark, Carlisle, Liverpool,
Manchester, and Holyhead, and where his Excellency
arrived on Saturday, the 16th.
In the whole course of the above tour, the weather
proved most favourable; and when to that is added the
unwearied exertion and kind attention of Captain Beat-
son, of his' Majesty's cutter the Swift, by means of
which everything was rendered comfortable and plea-
sant while at sea, and wherever his Excellency landed;
the warm reception he met with in every place he
shewed himself, was calculated to make a powerful
impression upon feelings less ardent and susceptible
than his; in whom they have excited sentiments of gra-
tikation and admiration of everything he has met and
seen in Scotland, which border on enthusiasm, in the
admiration of the people, and of the country in general,
and in particular of the characteristic warmth of feeling
and generous hospitality which the Field Marshal ex-
perienced throughout the Highlands and islands. He
was particularly struck with the air and gait of the
Highlanders, accompanied uniformly, as he observed,
by a courtesy and address, and polished manner, which
astracted his admiration not less than his surprise, and
he frequently remarked to his fellow-travellers, that,
from the time he entered the Highlands at Dunkeld,
until his return to Glasgow, he never by any accident
met with an individual who did not put his hand to his
hat or bonnet, and accompanied his salute with a very
becoming and graceful attitude.
We understand that the Field Marshal felt so strongly
the kind attention of Captain Beatson, that at parting
he made him a present of a valuable gold snuff-box,
and gave a guinea to the cutter's crew. His Excellen-
cy's stay in Dublin %sill be limited to a very few days,
aid it Is kis intention to proceed from that place to
London, on his way to Paris, with the determination,
however, of embracing, at no distant period, an oppor•
tunity of coming to Great Britain for a longer stay ; in
this good feeling his brave and gallant Aid-de-Camp,
COunt de Couesstn, most warmly participates.
We are told that the Field Marshal, and Mr. Mac-
donald, have kept a very full journal of their tour, and
in particular about the island of South Uisti Prince
Charles Stuart, and the 1745 ; blended with some very
interesting anecdotes of that period and country, never
communicated to the public.
Count de Couessin is descended from one of the more
ancient families in Britanny, and is married to the niece
of Marshal Macdonald.
