BY JOHN MAINE.

King Groacr the Fourth is craning down
To see his friends in Ernbro-town ;
To hold his court, and wear the frown
0' Scotland's kings, lad a that:
And a' the chieftains o' the North,
Lords, leddies, lairds. and men of worth,
Are socking to the Firth o' Forth,
To welcome him, and a' that!
Whole days or ere he reacted the land,
A happy People., hand in hand,
'Were rang'd tor miles alang the strand,
Expecting him, and a' that!
For though our Liege has Kingdoms three,
And molly an Island in the sea,
Auld Scotland likes to bear the gree,
rot loyalty, and a' that !
Meantime, wi mony a bonny sang,
The streets and squares of Embro rang:
Alinstrels, and music-bells, ding-clang,
Play'd loyal tunes, and a' that:
On ilka house, frac street to street,
On Calton-hill, and Arthur's-Seat,
Were !eddies perch'd, like angels sweet
On wings o' peace, and a' that !
At length, amid ten thousand cheers,
Behold, the royal barge appears!
And, hither as the 3lotiarch steers,
Through fleets, wi' flags, and a' that,
The joy-bt Its ring, the trumpets sound;
And now, while thund'ring guns rebound,
• Gou save the King' is sung around,
Wi' tears of joy, and a' that!
To guide their King to Ilolyrood,
The leaned, the wise, the great, the good,
And Archers a', in merry mood,
.

Await for him, and a' that :
Legions o' troops, wi' banners bright,
Clansmen, and Celts, and Chiefs o' might,
And crowds buzzaing wi' delight,
Are here and there, and a' that !

0, Scotia! Land of hills and lakes!
Land o' the brave ! sweet Land o' Cakes!
Whene'er the King his pleasure takes
Among your tow'rs, and a' that,
Where'er he rests, whtre'er he moves,
Regard him with your purest loves!
And may hi 4 coming, like the dove's,
Bring love and peace, and a' that!
Ah! mony a dowy day has been
Since Scotland saw a King or Queen!
Kingdoms and states, and thrones, I ween,
Ila'e been u'erturn'd since a' that !
Tet Scotland, without crack or flaw,
Stands fast and firm, and ne'er shall fa'
While Virtue, amang great and sma',
Adorns her bairns, and a' that!
Then cock your bonnets, ilka blade;
And, buskit in your belted plaid,
Let rites and honours due be paid
To Royalty, and a' that :
Though Kings and Queens of high renown
1-12'e flourish'd aft in Embro-town,
A better never wore the crown
Than GEORGY the Fourth, for a' that!

But, oh! while guns and cannons roar,
And plaudits welcome him on shore,
The heart is wounded to the core

That we maun part, for a' that!
Yet fill your goblets till they foam ;
And when the KING'S dispos'd to roam,
He'll look on Scotland as his home,
And come again, and a that!

It having been determined that the sword which
w►as used by the renowned Eir WILLIAM WALLACE,
and now- in the possession of the noble family of
LOUDON, who are lineal descendants of that illus-
trious Hero, should be in reaJiness for the inspection
of his MAJESTY, the sword has been sent off from Lou-
don Castle, in Ayrshire, under an escort of a detach-
ment of the Loudon Troup of Ayrshire Yeomanry
Cavalry.
Whilst the Royal squadron was passing Whitby, on
Monday, Lord and Lady NORMANBY put to sea ill an
el en boat, and came alongside the ROYAL GEOUGE,
aid his MAJESTY complimented her Ladyship on
Lcr courage.

LANDING OF THE DUICE OF WELLINGTON'

DOVER, AUGUST 16, 1821.
The fears which had been yesterday excited by the arrival of
a French boat from Calais, which in some measure confirmed
the reports of the untimely fate of his Grace the Duke of WILL-
I
LINGTON, have been this afternoon wholly dispelled by the ap-
pearance of the Noble Duke himself, in company with Lord
Ilisaewar. His Grace arrived in his Majesty's steam-packet
Arrow; and as many persons had begun to adopt the opinion
that the reports of his death were true, great numbers assembled
in a very short space of time to judge of his reality, of which,
when they were thoroughly convinced, they testified their joy
by receiving him with three distinct cheers, at which his Grace
appeared highly delighted.

- -
The Noble Duke left us thii evening for London.
As it has been stated that this Illustrious Personage was suf-
fered to depart hence a few days ago without the customary sa-
lute, it may be necessary to explain that it was at his own Cr-
press desire, a letter having been sent to hint by the friends of a
Lady who then lay dangerously ill at the York Hotel, with
which his Grace condescendingly complied.
The Arrow packet brought, besides his Grace, about fifty
passengers, and three carriages.

Arrived also, the Sovereign steam-vessel, with 60 passengers,
from Calais; and Medusa steam-vessel, with 50 passengers, and
six carriages, from Boulogne.
Sailed this morning, his Majesty's steanupacket Dasher, with
three carriages, and 110 passengers, for Calais.

Last night the Duke of WELLINGTON passed
through Dartford, on his way to town. We under-
stand that his Grace called at the late Marquis of
LONDONDERRY'S house, at North Cray, and arrived
at Apsley House this morning.

Tuesday, the Anniversary of the Battle of Blen-
heim was celebrated by the Duke of MARLBOROUGH,
in his princely mansion, with a taste and magnificence
worthy the memorable occasion.

A number of workmen are now employed at the
KINGS entrance to the House of Lards. The angle
of the Piazza, near the entry, is to come down to
enable the Royal carriage to drive up to thegrand door.
The projecting platform, erected on State occasions,
will be unnecessary. They have taken down the
staircase leading to the Jerusalem Chamber, to make
a more convenient way for his MAJESTY to enter the
House.

Preparations are going on in Westminster Abbey
for the interment of the late Marquis of LONDON-
DIIRRY next Tuesday : he is to be buried by the side
of Mr. PITT.

In some of the accounts of the preparations made
at Edinburgh for the KING'S visit to that city, it is
mentioned, that although the capital of Scotland is
crowded with visitors, yet, that on Sunday last, the
streets were completely deserted, except at the inter-
vals when the people were coming out from the dif-
ferent churches, and that a solemn silence reigned
throughout the town. Onall Sundays the churches,
with a short intermission, are tilled from morning
until night; and any man seen walking idly abous
the streets during the hours of Divine Service, it
looked upon as an abandoned reprobate. No stage-
coach, except the mail, is allowed to travel through
the city, nor indeed through any part of Scotland,
on a Sunday.
We understand that it is his MAJESTY'S most gra-
cious intention to recommend that a Bill be brought
into Parliament to reverse the attainders of the Scotch
Peers, and to restore their families to their former
ranks and dignities.—lrish Paper.
Jeremiah Rorke, convicted of an attempt to assassi-
nate Mr. Jevers, a Magistrate of the county of Li-
merick. was executed at Limerick on Saturday last.
On the same day, Michael Foley, Matthew Sullivan,
Timothy Healy, William Healy, and Arthur O'Leary,
were executed at Tralee, for the murder of Mr. Brere-
ton, clerk to the mail coach office there, who, our
Readers will recollect, was waylaid by the insurgents
while conveying the post-bags, subsequent to the at-
tack on the Cork mail-coach. '1 he whole of the pri-
soners declared their innocence to the last moment.

LYNN, AUGUST 11.—Two of our merchants have,
during the last week, caused to be thrown into the
river several lasts of their bonded wheat, which they
had kept till it was literally not wcrth a farthing,'
the weave' having got amongst it, and eaten the flour
out of the husk. By the bye, is it very:consistent to go
about with a plate from door to door, soliciting sub-
scriptions to relieve the distressed Irish, and at the
same time throwing wheat out of granaries into the sea!
HAYMARKET THEATRE.—The Marriage of Figaro
has been succeeded and nearly eclipsed by the Barber
of Seville; Miss PATON'S Rosina equals if not sur-
passes her Susanna; the Hypocrite, which gains on
the Public on repetition, will be acted next week
and a new Farce, to be produced on Thursday, wil'
be immediately succeeded by a new Opera. .
ENGLISH OPERA•HOUSE.—Last night the new Opera
of Gil Blas was repeated. It had undergone so much
curtailment since the night before that the principal
obstacle to its success was removed. Many of the
most objectionable parts were omitted, and though
some dissatisfaction still remained, the prevailing voice
was in favour of the Piece. The duet between Miss
PovEv and Mr. BROADHURST was encored ; and the
music, which is far above the ordinary standard,well
entitled it to such a distinction. There was no oppo-
sition whatever when the curtain fell.

JOHN EMERY'S DISTRESSED FAMILY.—The Public
will be glad to learn that the kind feeling which was
created to assist in alleviating the destitute state in
which this family were left, has by no means subsided.
The Managers of several of the first-rate Provincial
Theatres have volunteered a free night in aid of this
laudable Charity. In this list will be found the Pro-
prietors of the Edinburgh Theatre, and those of Li-
verpool, Manchester, Birmingham, and Brighton.
The Duke of DEVONSHIRE, on the instant of his ar•
rival in England, inclosed a draft for 601. Sir GIL-
BERT HEATHCOTE, Bart. has given 101. the Earl of
EGRENIONT, 251. Colonel STEVENSON, 6th Dragoon
Guards, 51. S. ANDERSON, Esq. Edinburgh, 201. J.
TROTTER, Esq. Proprietor of the Worthing Theatre 51.
Dowager Countess of STRATHMORE, five guineas;
Lady DRYDEN, tWOguine4s; Sir Jou N D. PAUL, Bart.
IWO guineas; and Mr. COWDEN, 24

In consequence of the great bustle yesterday at the Stock Ex-
change, it being pay day, a broker paid to another a note of
aelooo instead of one for £lOO, which soon after was discovered
by the broker who took the £11;00, and returned to the owner.


THE ARMY
The Ceinctitera of the Ponces in Scotland has Intimated that
it is his Illazaavv's Intention to review, next week, on Porto
Bello Sands, the 3d and 7th Dragoon Guards, the Scots Greys,
and seven Regiments of Yeomanry Cavalry.
Wednesday se'nnight, the Kirkoldbrigitt Gentlemen and
Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Colonel Gomm, completed
their term of permanent duty at Gatehouse. On the Tuesday
preceding, the Regiment was inspected by Colonel 'Max-
wau., younger, of Cardoness' one of the Deputy Lieutenants
for the Stewartry ; when this fine body of men went through
their different evolutions in a manner that
,called forth the
warmest praises of the Inspecting Officer, as well as excited
the admiration of crowds of spectators, who had assembled
from different quarters to witness so gratifying a scene.—
After the Review, about fifty Gentlemen dined with the Offi-
cers; and besides this entertainment, the Colonel and Officers
gave a Ball in the evening, which was attended by all the beauty
and fashion of a genteel and ex tenaive neighbourhood. On Wed-
nesday Mr. Mutual, entertained the Oaken at Cally, in a mag-
nificent and,princely style; and owing to the liberality of Cap-
tain Sir Joint Goanox, the corps had turtle soup at mess every
day. Mr. limaraa of the Murray Arms Inn was highly com-
plimented for the manner in which he furnished the entertain-
ments ; and it is but justice to the inhabitants of Gatehouse to
say that both Officers and men departed highly pleased both
with the attentions and accommodations they had experienced
during their sojourn in that thriving Burgh.
