Melanges:
" The optimists in polltlcsbhatee 'been scandalized
at the revelations contained in the late statements of
the Attorney-General, Ifellart, concerning the con-
spirators of La Rochelle. The. following are some
particulars in confirmation of them, which are not
less worthy of reflection:

" The English Parliament has just renewed the
Alien Billo for fear of that sect which threatens in
every country order, religion, and the laws.
" The Royal Tribunal at Paris has just called for
the proceedings against the conspirators of Rochelle,
as making part of more complicated researches.—
Notwithstanding the rigour of the Austrian Ordi-
nances, the Society of the Carloonari deliberates and
proscribes, -and finds bands to execute its sanguinary
Decrees. Everything proves the existence ola secret
organization, which-embraces in its fatal ramifications
all Europe. The revolution, imperfectly extinguished,
lives under its own ruins; it lives in the midst of ci-
vilization, which appears to have stifled it. The chain
of time is no more broken for it than for Monarchy.
The Committee of Public Safety revives under ferti-
lising influences, only it conceals itself: instead of
oppressing France in the face of day, it undermines
Europe in mystery and silence.
"Let us imagine all union between States taken
away—let us insulate Monarchy, that it may remain
disarmed before the league of revolt. What will
become of 'civilization ? What will it effect, thus
divided, against an enemy so active, so subtle—who
despises no means, loses no opportunity, and has for
auxiliaries all the mean passions of the heart ?
" What does it require to gain the upper hand ?
A pretext of misunderstanding between the Cabinets,
a doubt adroitly infused into the minds of the S we-
reigns, a splendid bait offered to credulous magna.
nimity. Discord, with fewer resources, converted
Olympus into a field of battle.

" And il-4ivilization were lost, where should we
find it .again ? Would it be in Africa, that ancient
bazaar of human flesh? or in Asia, which is falling
back into childhood, from discrepitnde ? or in that
America, whose Government proclaims, in the face
of Europe, dogmas which will cause themselves to
perish? Between us and baaarism, I see only the,
Holy Ailiance.

• " Honour to this august league! But for that, the
world would be a prey destined to the Attilas and
the Tamerlanes; nations would be like vile herds,
reserved for the knife of the butcher. And it is the
Holy Alliance.that is accused? accused, too, in the
name of intelligence and liberty!"

A file broke out yesterday forenoon, in consequence,
of the boiling over of some pitch, at the Patent Rope-

This morning, at eight o'clock, a fire broke out in
the upper part of a warehouse in Sheppy-yard, Mi-
nories, chiefly occupied by Messrs. Font and Co. of
St. dildred's-eourt, as a depository for coffee. It
consumed some warehouses, and did material da-
mage to a timberilard adjoining. The wind blow-
ing towards Hayden-square, carried a vast number
ofthe sparks towards that direction : it happened that
the windows of Mr. H tzz's house were open, into which
the sparks found their way and set fire to the furni-
ture, which was instantly in a blaze, and we under-
stand most of this Gentleman's goods have been con-
sumed. Had it not been for the engines being at
hand, the whole of the premises would have been
down, but fortunately it was got under before the fire
could communicate to any other house in the square.

EDINBURGH, AUGUST 12.

This morning an .express
to the official authorities in this town, announcing the
departure of his MAJESTY from London on. SAUK-
day last, and immediate orders Were given for cots.
pleting without delay the necessary arrangements. for
his Kwitny's reception. The state apartments of!
Holyrood House are completed, Sind at ten o'clock
this morning the ancient Regalia Of Scotland were
removed, with military pomp, from the Castle to
Holyrood House, where they were received by the
Officers of State, and deposited in the jewel-room.
The Regalia, which were discovered four .years ago,
have been often described, and consist of a Crown or
gold, adorned with precious stones and of very
antique workmanship, a Sceptre of silver
.gilt,
wards of two feet long, surmounted by a crystal
globe, and some antique chasing of Saints; a Sword of
,State, resembling the Highland broadsword, in a
rich crimson velvet scabbard, and a silver gilt rod of
office for the Lord Treasurer. The Mid Lothian Yeo-
manry Cavalry escorted the Regalia, and several
parties of Highlanders., with broadswords and targets,
joined in the procession. The appearance of the prin-,,
cipal streets this day is extremely picturesque from
the bodies of Highlanders who promenade the town,
playing national airs, with their favourite instrument
the bagpipes. The shrill and discordant notes of this
instrument seem to give the utmost animation to
their movements, and the various hues of the Tartan
dresses, while they distinguish the different clans,
give a pleasing variety to the appearance of this mar-
tial costume. It is a most gratifying though some-
what an anomalous spectacle, to see the chiefs of
those clans, whose principle of-,action was never to
forgive an injury, pouring from their native hills into
the Scottish Capital to pay an enthusiastic homage
to a Prince of the House of Brunswick. It is true
the Royal line, for the maintenance of which these
chiefs last apreared in a body in Edinburgh in the
year 171.5, is now extinct, and with it happily seems
also to have expited the remembrance of that sad, re-
tribution which his MaaesTy's predecessor inflicted
upon the Highland clans who conspired against his'
liwone. Their appearance, hciwever, cannot fail to
be interesting upon his present MAJESTY'S entry, and
the taste with which the Celtic bands have prepared
their costume will add considerably to the splendid
effect of the military pageant. It is a peace-giving
occasion, and these Highland warriors are generous
in fotgetting the past.
The Civic Authorities are constantly engaged in
preparing for his MAJESTY'S entertainment, and the
details of their arrangements, though on a suitable
scale,!consistent with the -ssorporate means, and as-•
sisted by the Lord Chamberlain's department, can
furnish no interest to a London reader. Hanging
scarlet cloth, and yellow and gold trimmings, with
' painted and gilded coronets, and re-decorated na-
tional emblems, are matters of course on such an oc-
casion ; and they display neither new taste, nor ma-
terials for set ious description. Want of adequate room
seems the principal fault in the arrangements, and this
inconvenience must necessarily diminish the eclat of
the Royal festivities. The town is crowded to excess ;
the principal of the Scottish Nobility and a large pro-
portion of the Gentry, with their families, have al-
ready arrived ; but it is feared that, except at the
Drawing-mom, the general accommodation will be
inadequate to the admission of many Ladies at the
public festivals. This is rather ungallant on the part
of the Civic Authorities.

The romantic hills which overlook this town ate
now bristling with cannon and bayonets, and crowded
with people, whose eyes are anxiously directed down
the Frith of Forth, watching the movements of the
numerous pleasure yachts, which cover this arm of
the sea, and form a look-out squadron for the Royal
flotilla s, they are constantly making signals since
mid-day, 'Which are interpreted' by the spectators to
notify the approach of his MAJESTY ; but the regu-
larly prepared signals for communicating that event
have not been made so late as three o'clock, and
from the arrangements made on the islands in the
Frith, and on the shores ofSerwick, there is no doubt
that the arrival of the Royal squadron at the mouth
of the Frith will be instaralr.transmitted with tele-
graphic dispatch, and announeoti to the people of
Edinburgh by guns from the Calton-hill and the
Castle. 'The military mho are to compose the body
guard of his MAJESTY, and the Highland clans, are
to remain. under arms the whole of the day, and an
escort is also provided at the shore nearest Dalkeith-
house, should his MAJESTY wish to land privately,
and repair thither in the event of his arrival at night,
and abstain from a public entry until the following
•day. The general opinion, however, is, that the
KING will remain on board the Royal yacht on the
day of his arrival in the harbour, so as to admit suffi-
cient time for regular and definitive,arrangements
for his reception on the following day. '
This jmorning, being the anniversary of the birth
of our most gracious SOVEREIGN, the necessary ope-
rations commenced on the-Calton-hill, preparatory
to laying the foundation-stone of that noble edifice,
which is destined to perpetuate events that distin-
guished his Regency and reign, the achievements of
.his Scottish naval and military heroes, and the epoch
of his auspicious visit to the northern capital of Ms
united kingdom.
The masonic preparations in town and country are
on a scale unprecedented in point of extent and mag-
nifiCence,- and truly_ worthy of the Royal Patron of
their Order.
His Grace the Duke of ATIOL, his Grace the
Duke of Mosanoss, the Earl of ELGIN and KlNCAft-
nun, the Earl of LEVEN and Mittvaut, the Earl
of ROSISIIiR ,Y Lord Viscount Mst.viLLE, and Rear-
Admiral Sir DAVID MILNE, K.C.B. have been soli;
cited by the Royal Association, and appointed as a
Deputation to wait upon the Kum, and learn his
Royal will and pleasure in regard to the day for
laying the foundation-stone.
A grand dejeuste was thistlay given by the Loin

EDINBURG H—Monday Afternoon, Three o'Clocli:
We have just heard, from good authority, that tin;
Knw will not land till tomorrow morning.
The Committee for Managing the Seats on the
Castle Hill, have, in the most liberal and haudsome
manner, offered .50 tickets for the use of Officers. in
the Navy, who are not otherwise provided with ac-
commodations, to witness the procession to the Castle;
50 more, for Officers in the Army, under the same
circumstances ; and 100, for so many of the Clergy
of Scotland.

We never remember such preparations for illumi-
nations as are' now going on. The Register Office,
the Excise and Custom-house, the Banks and• Club
Rooms, are all Tieing with other. The Gas• Co-
mpany have prepared an enormous Crown, to be
mounted on' one of their chimnies; and private in-
dividuals are equally anxious in their exertions.—
Lord WENIESS, the Loan PROVOST, Mr. Sheriff Dort.,
Sir WILLIAM FETTES, the LORD PROVOST. of Glas-
gpw, with.various others, are among the number.
All the hotels in Edinburgh are full. From half
a guinea to three guineas are paid for single beds
per night.
The livery stables are mostly full. So great is the
demand for stalls, that five guineas per week a:e
paid for a single horse.
Such is the influx of passengers to Edinburgh, that
not less that 450 were landed from the Stirling steam-
boat, at the chain pier, on Saturday eve&ng.
The coaches from all parts of the country wete
yesterday, and for a day or two before, crowded. /I
great many private carriages also arrived in the
course of the day. A huge caravan made its ap-
pearance, intended, and used for the conveyance of
elephants and other extraordinaries ; to the surprise
of the bystanders, it stopped at the door of an inn,
when the crowd began to gape in expectation of see-
ing monsters. The door was opened ; but instead of
lions and monkeys, out came a party of dandies and
belles, from Glasgow, and were shewn gratis. The
Cupar (Fife) Magistrates came to the Ferry, over
the Forth, in much better style--and—there we wiil
leave them.

Camps are pitched at the new entrance into Dal-
keith Palace, for the accommodation of the guards.
Saturday morning 50 workmen conmencvl re•
pairing the Pier of Pi,herrow harbour, and flooriag
it with wood, as it is expected his MAJESTY Hill make
some aquatic excurion, and that harbour is more
convenient and private than Leith.
Every individual is exerting his talents to give
proof of his heartfelt feelings of joy on the apps each
of his' MAJESTY. The -splendid Panortma• of the
grand Coronation is on its way from the centre of
England (at a vast expense), to be displayed in the
large Pavilion, Mound. The proprietors are spitting
no expense to render the exhibition of extraordinary
interest, an extra band of music being engaged in
honour of his MAJESTY'S welcome visit, anJ the Pa-
vilion will be beautifully illuminated with tritinpa-
reneies, variegated lamps, &c.
We learn from Dunbar, that a Royal salute is to
be fired from the fort on his MAJESTY'S passing the
harbour ; and as several pieces of cannon are also to
be fired, and a bonfire lighted, at General LESLIE'S
Camp, on Doonhill, in the neighbourhood of that
town, we shall thereby have early and certain
relation oldie time that the fleet may be expected in
the Roads.

GLASGOW, AUGUST 10.
The number of persons leaving this City for
Edinburgh, is scarcely credible. Everf vehicle
engaged for days to come, nor could money now
procure one. The usual stage-coaches are even en-
gaged for te-morrow (Sunday). The canal boats and
the extra boats which the proprietors have put upon
the canal, are insufficient to convey the passengers
pressing to the metropolis, and we are told that coal
punts have been put in requisition, and horses attached
to them, as vehicles of conveyance. By the time the
canal boats leave Port Dundas this afternoon, above
2500 persons will have left this city for Edinburgi',
during yesterday and this day, by this mode of con-
veyance alone. For the accommodation of the Public.
the boats are to ply to-morrow, and we understand
that a great number of individuals proceed on foot
this day, and more this evening, as soon as their busi-
ness is concluded.
NEWCASTLE, AUGUST 13.

It is impossible to describe the appearances of the
regular conveyances that pass through this place
from London to Edinburgh. The coaches going to
the metropolis about Christmas, laden gLe'e,
turkies, and all possible varieties of luxury, convef
but a faint idea of the crowded and luggage-sur-
rounded vehicles. Every square inch of room, nay
every inch whether square or long, seems occitpie.l
by something or other bound to Edinburgh, ,1:1,1
thousands of parcels and boxes dangle from
never intended for them. Amongst other thing,.
a great number of swords (we suppose the dress-
swords for those who hope to be presented at his
MAJESTY'S Levee). Some carriages have been obliged
to wait here for want of post-horses. On SandAy
immense numbers of persons went down to Shiehis
and Tynemouth, in expectation of getting a sight of
the Royal squadron on its passage north. One per 7
son, in coming up the road, counted upwards of VI
gigs, coaches, &c. going down heavily laden. Wt:
may easily guess, if one person met so many, that
the real number was much greater. It was calcu-
lated there 'were SOO or 400 boats, steam-packets,
coal-keels, kc. out at sea, ornamented in every ima-
ginable manner. No certain intelligence had arrived
of his MAJESTY'S embarkation, but a general ori-
