Upon his MACTICSTY taking his seat in the barge, a I
royal salute was discharged from the shipping off the
Ferry, and IN as re-echoed from the h4l sof the surround-
ing coast, by different small batteries of cannon erected
on the demesnes of the Noblemen and Gentlemen of the
neighbourhood. The Earl of Homoum, after seeing
the KING into- his carriage, mounted his horse and
followed with all expedition, and the Archers having
moved off, the whole crowd began rapidly to dis-
perse. At the Society, the Archers met Lord Hope-'
Tot's; on his return, when they halted and saluted
him, and then moved on to Port Edgar, whence they
were conveyed in boats to the steam-vessel. His MA..
aesrfs yacht was towed down the Frith of Forth
amid the salutes from each side of the shore; but the
rain again fell in torrents, and neatly obscured the
parting flotilla from the view. The Royal squadron
was seen from the'A dmitaL's ship at her moorings off
Leith, at a quarter before four o clock, and she im-
mediate'', fired a royal salute, which was repeated '
by all the other ships in the harbour. " The Royal
yacht was towed by the steam-boat so close to the
Fifeshire coast, as to be scarcely discernible from the
opposite shore. When she was seen on a line with
Leith fort, a royal salute was fired from the battery,
and again repeated by the ships of war in the har-
bour. A number of pleasure yachts and smaller ves-
sels endeavoured to keep up with the Royal squadron,
as well as some steam-boats which were sailing with
company, wishing to remain near the KING'S yacht;
but the latter was towed so rapidly, as to distance in
a short time every other vessel. The Royal yacht
then steered to the north of the island of Inchkeith,
and kept the Fifeshire coast while the squadron re-
mained in sight. The Duke and Duchess of ARGYLE
e in C.eir carriage on the beach at Newhaven, en-
deavout ing to catch a passing glimpse at the Royal
squadron. There were but a few persons on the shores
at either side of the Frith of Forth, and the pageant
closed with hardly any noise, save that created by
the reverberation of artillery.
The following letter was yesterday addressed by
Air. PELL to the Officers of State:
" Edinburgh, August 29, 1822.

strong body of poll_ „ice ...
hour yesterday morning. KtilrYKKKlth BIRNIE, the
Chief Magistrate of Bow-street, Was at Greenwich
with a large body of dismounted and Other patrol so
early as seven o'clock ; soon After WhieNdetachments
of the Foot Guards and Royal Marines marched into
the town, and occupied stations within the Hospital
grounds, with the exception of a few who were placed
in the avenues leading towards town. The police
were judicibusly arranged by Sir RICHARD BIRNII,
EGGS Misreserve order, and to keep a clear passage
Ifrom the Hospital through the town. The veteran
inhabitants ri this noble edifice were drawn up as on
the embarkation of the'liimo, in their best apparel,
in front of the Hospital, within the railings. The
uncertainty which naturally prevailed in the public
mind, as to the precise time at which his MAJESTY
might be expected to arrive, prevented so large an
assemblage of persons as there would otherwise un-
doubtedly have been ; but as the day advanced, the
crowd on shore thickened, and towards one o'clock
there was a plentiful scattering of boats on the
Thames, at and below Greenwich..
The. Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR embarked at
Tower-stairs, on board the City barge, at seven in
the morning, and proceeded to Blactwall, where he
remained a short time, and then went on further
down the river. His Lordship attended, as before,
in the capacity of Conservator of the Thames, to con-
duct his MAJESTY back to Greenwich—a compliment
which was duly appreciated by the KING, who was
pleased to express himself well' pleased with it. ,
At half-past one o'clock the river oppositethe Hos-
pital presented a pleasing spectacle, though perhaps
not so magnificent a one as at the same hour on the
day of the embarkation. Boats at this time began to
arrive in considerable numbers, and moored as closely
as they were allowed to do on each side the stairs at.
which his MAJESTY was to land. They were chiefly
filled with Ladies.
Immediately off the stairs the Admiralty barge,
the yacht of Sir RICHARD GOODWYN 'Wm, K.B.
Governor of the Hospital, the Navy Office barge, and
the Thames Police yacht (on board of which was
Captain lltcnsEta., the senior Magistrate of that de-
partment, in full naval uniform), were moored in rea-
diness for the arrival of the Royal squadron. Round
about the spot were several boats belonging, to the
Harbour Master and the Thames Police, which were
employed in rowing about and in eserving an open
space for the Royal yacht to come to her moorings.
They had great difficulty in doing this, so great was
the anxiety to obtain situations as favourable as pos-
sible-for a view of the Royal person.
At half-past one o'clock exactly the Comet steam-
packet, which accompanied the Royal squadron, and
towed the Royal yacht down the River on her de.
parture for Scotland, hove in sight in Woolwich
Reach, and in a very short time was abreast of Green-
wich Hospital. A boat was immediately lowered
from her, and Mr. DALRYNIPLE, a Midshipman, of
the ROYAL SOVEREIGN, came ashore with a letter to
Sir RICHARD KEATS, informing him that his MA-
JESTY was off Gravesend, and would arrive about four.
—The letter further stated, that his MAJESTY would
have been happy to have had the pleasure of the
company of Sir RICHARD KEATS and the other Offi-
cers of the establishment to dinner on board the
Royal yacht, but it was his MAJESTY'S intention to
land before dinner.
Mr. DALRYMPLE delivered a similar complimen-
tary letter to the LORD MAYOR, as the Comet passed
the City barge beyond Blickwall. The Comet, after
remaining for about half. an hour off Greenwich,
again set her machine in motion, and steered down
the River to meet the Roym. SOVEREIGN. The Com-
manding Officer on board the Comet was the Hon.
RUSSELL, son of Lord Joirs RUSSELL.
All was anxiety among the crowds assembled from
the moment of the departure of the Comet, and eyed
vessel passing up the river was eagerly hailed, to,
know if they had any tidings of the Roy-al squadron.
Every eye was eagerly directed towards Woolwich
Reach to catch the first glimpse of the coming
pageant, and curiosity was at its highest pitch, when,
at 20 minutes past three o'clock, a volume of smoke
ascending over the banks lying between Blackwall
and the Reach, gave notice to the spectators that the
Royal squadron was near at hand. In a very few
moments from this time, the Royal Sovereign in all
her glory, with her yards nicely squared, the National
Standard flying at the main, and the Commodore's
broad pendant at the foretop, hove in sight, towed
by the James Watt steam packet.
After having received a salute from the Artillery
upon his MansTY's passing before the Royal Arsenal
at Woolwich, on' reaching .the wharf of Charlton,
which belongs to the present Sir THOMAS MARION
WILSON, Bart. he was saluted with a discharge of 21
suns. His MAJESTY received similar marks of honour
from the principal places on both sides of the river.
Off Woolwich, a great number of boats and vessels
of every description were waiting the arrival of the
squadron; and as it passed they joined, and continued
with it as long as they could keep pace, the compa-
nies cheeringloudly in honour of the KING.
Just before thnßoyal Sovereign reached Black-
pac Cityke tßarge,drew

into the centre of the river ; and taking the lead, pre-
ceded the Royal squadron until it arrived at Green-
wich. A Royal salute was fired as his MAJESTY
passed Blackwall, and thousands of people by this
time assembled on both shores, and greeted him with
their cheers.
At ten minutes before four o'clock, the drums
within the Hospital gates, at Greenwich, beat for the
troopi to fill in, and in a few moments everything
was in readiness for the reception of the KING on shore.
At ten minutes past four o'clock the Royal Sove-
reign was observed by the persons assembled at
Greenwich, the Isle of Dogs, Blackwall, Limehouse,
&c. It came majestically up the river, towed by the
James Watt steam-vessel, owing to the calmness of
the weather, though the wind was favourable. Sig-
nals were given from the• yacht to the Naval Officers'
at the Hospital, which were as speedily answered.
At aluaxter past four the'Royal yacht arrived

when the yacht anchored. The people on ,
cheered, and his MAJESTY took off his hat and bowed
on all sides, and appeared to be truly deNghtosi with
his reception.
At eighteen minutes pait four, two of his MA..
JESTY'S travelling carriages arrived in the College-
yard, the first a carriage and six, and the last a car-
riage and four. The Kix° tode to town in the for-
mer; they were preceded by two of the 15th Hussars
and one of his Maiawrv's grooms on horseback, the
whole followed by a troop of Hussars.
At twenty minutes past four o'clock, having bowed
to the people, the KING, attendid by Mr. CROKE%
Sir CoataLcs PAGET, and four of his suite, left the
yacht on the starboard side, and entered the ROYAL
'Soyattztost yacht's barge, which was rowed by six-
' Wen bargemen, dressed in scarlet suits, to the shore,
amidst the cheers of the multitude, the firing of guns,
&c. The moment the KING left the vessel the Royal
standard was hauled from the mainmast, and the
Commodore's broad pendant- put in its place.
At twenty-five minutes past four, his MAJESTY
again set his foot on British-ground.
When his MAJESTY stepped upon the stairs, which
he had somilklifficulty in doing, owing to the lowness
,of the tide,he took Sir R. KEATS by thehand,and said,
64 How are you, Keats?" at. the same time nodding
affably to the other Gentlemen about him. As be
ascended the steps, and until he got into his carriage,
which was in-waiting immediately within the gates,
his MAJESTY was loudly cheered.
Ills MAJESTY ascended the stairs with a firm step,
carrying his hat in his hand, and bowing occasionally
to the spectators.
He was received at the steps'by the following per-I
sons, attended by a guard of honour, formed of the,
different Naval and Military .officers on duty, and
those belunging to the Hospital:
Sir Richard Keats, Governor ; Captain Brmiell, Deputy
Admiral Sir Thomas Thompson, Admiral Martin, Captain Hard-
ing, Captain Hedge, Commissioner Smith, Colonel Sir Harry
Neale, Sir Richard Birnie, Colonel Foreman, Captain Richbell•
the Thames Police Magistrate, Captain W. Kesley, Scc. Ste.

His MAJESTY, on arriving before his carriage at the
top of the beach steps, in the great square of the Hos.
pital, again took off his hat and bowed. The first per-
son he noticed on shore was the Lady of Sir HARRY
NEALE, and afterwards a young Lady, said to be the
niece of Mr. CROKER. His MAJESTY shook hands
with them both ; they curtsied in return, in the most
respectful manner. His MAJESTY said, " How do
you do, Sir HARRY?" Sir HARRY bowed, and the
various Officers were then introduced to the KING ;
and his MAJESTY, after taking leave of all present, en-
tered his carriage : after he had entered his carriage
he again shook hands with the Lady said to be Mr.
CROKER'S relative; and, amidst the loudest shouts of
applause, he left the College-yard, and at a quarter
past five o'clock his MAJESTY reached Carlton Palace.
As his MAJESTY passed through Greenwich, he
was received with the shouts of the people and the
waving of handkerchiefs. The children of both sexes
belonging to the various schools were on the sides of
the road as his MAJESTY passed, and bowed to him,
which appeared to give pleasure to his MAJESTY.-1
All the taverns were filled with company, and also
every private house between London and Greenwich.
Just before his MAJESTY left his yacht, the LORD
MAYOR'S barge was turned round to the starboard of
the ROYAL SovEREIGN, and his MAJESTY took leave
of his Lordship by bowing repeatedly. The company
on board the LonoM Avon's barge bowed and cheered
repeatedly, and the LORD MAYOR made his obeisance
to the KING.
An Address from the inhabitants of Greenwich bad
been prepared, and it was their anxious wish that it
should be presented to the KING on-his landing, but
as his MAJESTY proceeded on immediately, there was
no opportunity of presenting it.
When his MAJESTY'S arrival at Carlton Palace was
known, the bells of St. Martih's, St. James's, and other
Churches of the Metropolis, were rung at intervals
for the remainder of the evening.

ROYAL EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCIL
The Exchange is this moment opened. owing to this being
holiday, in consequence of which the Rink and Stock Easehange
are shut ; but business is dein; on 'Muria in foreign securities,
though not to any great ettent. Foreign Funds as fcillaw *—

Old 90; ; Russlsa 653; Danish 761; Colombian 87 ; Scrip 871.
On Thursday his NinsarrY took leave of Scotlamt
impressed, we believe, with an exalted opinion of his
Northern subjects. Yes:erday afternoon his M rolsrr,
after a very favourable passage, landed at Greenwich;
at the same spot where, twenty-two days before, he
had embarked.

A full account of the Royal departure from Scot-
land and.the landing, will be-found in our prece4..
ing columns.
This day a Cabinet Council will be held, when the
new Ministerial arrangements are expected to be
agreed upon. Report still fixes on Mr. Pam as the
successor of the late Marquis of LONUONDERRy in the
Foreign Secretaryship ; but if this appointment takes
place it will chew that Ministers are sadly at a loss
in knowing how to dispose of one another, for we
dare venture to say that Mr. Pam. would be the last
to obtrude himself into an office, the details of which
are (without meaning a pun) quite foreig.s to his pa.
tical education and habits. But whatever may be
the arrangement at home, the charge of meeting the
Congress ins been entrusted to the Duke of WELLING-
row, and his Grace is now on his way to Vienna.

where be is expected to arrive about the 13th inst.

There can now be no doubt that the principal ob-
ject of this Congress is to take into consideration the
state of Spain. We have observed for some time past
in the Journals of St. Petersburgh, not one of which
dare publish a line contrary to the wishes of Govern-
ment, a series of articles against the Spanish Consti-
tutionalists, and evidently intended to pave the way
for an interference in the affairs of that country. In-
deed the Paris Papers state the arrival in that Capital
of a Polish Officer of high rank in the Russian ser-
vice, on his way to Madrid, with an impart;nt corn-

munication from the Emperor ALEXANDER. 'This
communication is supposed to be some threat or re-
monstrance on the part of the Emperor, who seems
very anxious to be the arbiter of the affairs of Eurnr.
The situation of Spain is drawing rapidly to a cthis.

The insurgents, emboldened by the inefficient means
hitherto taken ) put them down, and by the im-
punity with which they have hitherto gone on, have
ventured on a daring act of open rebellion, which no
longer leaves it in the power of Ministers to remain
inactive. The Marquis of MATA FLORIDA has taken
upon himself to establish what he ridiculously calls
,g a Supreme Government," at Urge:, near the Eas-
tern Pyrennees; and has issued one or two treason-
able Proclamations, in which he at one stroke abolishes
the Cortes, and declares that everything shall be re-
established cotiforniably to the civil and military laws
which existed before the 9th of March, 1520—that it,
before the KING swore to the Constitution.
We consider this act of the Marquis of MATA FLO-
RIDA, of no more importance than the proceedings of
the other banditti who infest this part of Spain, ex-
cept that it shews the reliance of the Insurgents on
foreign interference, which the Proclamation even
alludes to. Indeed, without such reliance, the a:-
tempt of the Marquis to set up a counter-governmrt
would be an act of insanity.
What may be the conduct of the approachir.::
Congress we know not. We do not expect much
from its wisdom, and still less from its liberality
but it is not, perhaps, too much to hope that Great
Britain will firmly oppose every attempt to disturb
that Government in Spain, which may almost be
said to have been purchased with British blood and
British treasure.
As for France, we know the KING would be very
glad to have a host of foreign troops to bolster up
both himself and his brother of Spainon their Thrones ;
but the attempt is too hazardous in the present state
of public feeling among the French, who seem ripe
for explosion.
A Decree has been published at Naples, au thorisinF,
three Commissioners, appointed for the purpose, 1,1
inflict publicly on the disturbers of the public peace,
a certain number of bastinadoes, even to the amount
of 100. Hence we may perceive, says a French Pa-
per, the blessings of foreign invasion. The Austrians
at home reserve this kind of punishment to military
crimes. Their imitators, the Neapolitan Minister.
extend the benefits of this philanthropic institution
to civil offences.

The final reductions in all the Royal Dock-yards,
to bring them to a permanent peace establishment,
have been decided upon. The number of workmen
and labourers discharged from Portsmouth dock-yard
since March last, is about SOO ; about 250 more are
to be discharged. These numbers will include the
whole of the labourers and scavelmen, whose duties
are to be performed by mechanics during the peace;
so that all the workmen in the Dock-yard, retained,
1800, will be mechanics. This total number is ex-
clusive of those who work in the wood-mills, metal-
mills, millwright's shop, and ropemakers, in number
about SOO more. When the number discharged has
reduced the whole to about 2200 men, it will then be
decided whether the men shall resume working on
Saturdays: should they, the numbers will be further
reduced by discharges, until their number is 1800 ;
but if they shall continue to work five days only in
the week, the numbers will be reduced by casualties
only, until that number (1800) remains. The men
afterwards will be permitted to work longer hours,
and earn more money. Friday night, 50 men were
discharged, being the fifth fortnightly discharge, with
the addition often to the number. All the future dis-
charges will be labourers and scavelmen. There are
still 1000 shipwrights in the Dock-yard.. It is calcu-
lated that, eventually, nearly 900 men will be dis-
