THE KING'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.

PRIVATE LETTERS—From the Morning Papers.
EDINBURGH. AUGUST 17.

. His MAJESTY is quite .delighted with Scotland,
and Scotland is as much delighted with his MA-
JESTY—for we will not pause in any captious dispiite
whether the preposition should be with or at. In his
progress from the point at which he fitst caught a
full view of the multitudes that had assembled to
greet him on his arrival, lie was constantly making
observations on the clean and orderly appearance of
his Scottish subjects. " There seems; said he, " not
to be a rag in all Edinburgh. I always considered
the Scots to be a proud people, and I have now
found that they have good reason to he proud. I see
around me a nation who, both in their dress and de-
portment, are all Ladies and Gentlemen." •
Ile is much pleased with his retreat at Dalkeith,
and, notwithstanding the fatigue of his voyage, he is
ever and anon running to the windows to notice the
beauty, the serenity, and the primitive, innocence
around him. Dalkeith Palk is, indeed, something
new even to him; it rivals, if it does not exceed, in
extent and variety, any of his Royal demesnes. The
two beautiful rivers Esk, the one of which has its
source in the classic locality of the " Gentle Shepherd"
washes the foundation of the famed Castle and Chapel
of Rosslyn, meanders through the yet more classic
grounds of Hawthornden, and is throughout its whole
line one succession of beauties ; and the other; sshich
descends from the bleak ridge of the Lammer-muir,
bends round the towers of Dalhousie, and pervades
the rich beauties of Newbottle—these two rivers, each
clear as chrystal, enter the Park, the one in front,
and the other in rear of the Palace—each flows through
a dell, exhibiting every natural and artificial beauty—
they unite a little below the Palace, and roll their com-
bined stream through the remainder of the grounds.
The trees within the Park are large, venerable, and
well-grouped, and there is this remarkable pecu-
liarity about it, that within its walls scarcely a living
thing is doomed to violent death. The little birds
sing close by the ear of the wanderer, and the most
timid of quadrupeds, the hare, squats herself down
at the feet of man, and regards him not as her enemy,
but as her protector. The frisks and gambols of these
lively animals upon the lawn afford his MAJESTY a
very 'peat deal of amusement: His Scottish sub-
jects, however, occupy the chief part' of his atten-
tion, . and his conversations with his train are almost
wholly about the reception with which he has. met.—
Scotland has indeed well sustined, and, if pOssible,
heightened her stayed, firm, manly; and intellectual
character. In all her approaches to Majesty (we
iipeak of her as a nation, and in the mass), she evinces
that she regards her.Ktmci as one who understands.'
reason, should dispense justice, and be treated. with

•
the defence of the arm, and the reverence of the af-
fections, rather than as a spectacle which is to be run
after, or one who is pleased or can be flattered by the
mere homage of the lip. •
TILE ILLUMINATION.
Even this was highly characteristic of the spirit of
•Caledonia. It was the most general and the most
brilliant that was ever witnessed, No doubt, there
were wanting that profusion of 'daubed transparencies
and dangling festoons, tagged with classic mottos
and.illusions, ill quoted, and worse applied, which
are found in other places ; but here again his Ma-
Jerry would have had cause to exclaim, that the na-
tion by which he was surrounded were all Ladies and
Gentlemen. Excepting at the Public Buildings, tits .
houses of official persons, the allffrtmenit of- Clubs
and Societies, and the houses of a 1,.v private indivi-
duals, the abode of Peer and Burgher were
stated in the same style, and with the same brilliance.
We waive the details as to who hting up -a Clown in
white lamps, or a Thistle in green and red, or who
took up' their motto in Latin, in English, or in Gaelic
—we du not even dwell upon the general effect; for
though, on- account of the situations of Edinburgh,
the state of the weather, and the zeal of all classes
of the people, that was as fine as possible—it was the
people themselves that were the sight. Natives and
visitors, two hundred thousand of every rank, age,
and sex, thronged the streets to such a degree, that it .
was difficult in many of them to get a sight either of
the pavement or the carriage way. This immense
mass put one very much in mind of bees—their noise
at any point was scarcely louder than the hum of
those insects,-and in their varied motions they clashed
as little with each other; instead of brawling and
wrangling, which almost invariably take place.on
such occasions—the most elegant e,cal.ed without a
stain, and the most feeble without a jostle. The ac-
commodation which they afforded each other in their
progress was truly remarkable ; when one came to
any of the elevations, so frequent in the streets of
Edinburgh, one saw nothing but human beings, thick
and reeling as the leaves in an autumnal whirlwind,
and yet it one chose, one's progress could be as rapid
and almost as free of interruption as if the street bad
been deserted. We did not remark a face in the whole
assemblage that did not express the feeling of being
pleased itself, and the desire of communicating plea-
sure to all around it. Just as was the case on are day
of his MitJesrv's entry, the conduct of the people
was the same as if they had been engaged.in a solemn
and felicitous act of religious worship. Every grove,
as they Went along, put us in mind of the good old
peasantry of Scotland thronging to be engaged in the
most holy rite in their religion. It seemed as if the
.4 Auld Lang s'yne's of a King's being in Scotland,
had brought back the*" Auld Lang sync" of manners
A little more pure and orderly than Edinburgh is in
the constant practice of exhibiting at present, aid at
-the same time preserved, in all their extent arid effect,
the modern elegance and modern splendour. .

THE I.EVEE. . •
It having been announced in the Gazette that his
MAJEsry was to hold a Levee at his Palace of Holy-
rood, at two o'clock on Saturday, at rather an early
our of the morning of that day, a train of carriages
began to assemble. Those carriages at the least were
about tour hundred in number, containing, we be-
lieve, from 900 to 1000 of the lieges, in countless va-
riety of rank, costume, gait, and physiognomy. As
a very considerable proportion of them had never
been at Court before, they seemed to be rath, r at• a
loss how to demean theribeives, and not a little asto-
nished at the quick. ti.i.e at which they were made
to pass from the presence of his MAJ isT Y. " Heigh !
Sirs ! but it's short wark this," said a b:awny yeoman
from the kingdom of Fire, as. at the bottom of the
stairs, he laboured to squeeze his minimum of opera
hat upon his maximum of caput. " Hech ! Sirs! butt
it's short vark," said he, crushing the unmanageable
beaver under his arm, and striding across the qua-;
drangle Lid he gained the out-ide of thegrand entrance,
where, laying a scrutinizing hand upon his head, he .
said to himself with much satisfaction—" I find
'tis 'on my shouthers after a' !" Of the attendants;
the Civic Authorities of the different Burghs, every
sept of whom stuck as close to one another as if they
had been in their own Council Chambers, wore faces
of the most broad and boundless delight. Nor were
the Deputations from the Clergy and Scottish Uni.
versitie, less pleased with the honour which had been
conferred on them. Sir WILLIAM CURTIS again ap-
peared in the Royal tartan ; but he had forborne the
phileheg and confined himself to the trews.
The KING arrived from Dalkeitb precisely at two;
he was elegautly dressed in the Royal Tartan, in
which garb be received his subjects. Many of the
attendants bewildered themselves in the winding pas-
sages of Holyrood, and not a few were exclaiming
like Sterne's starling, " I can't get out !" The day
was favourable; the ceremony went off well, and that
people seemed upon the whole to be very much de-
lighted. While speaking ~f the Levee, it may not
be amiss to mention a case of unanimity -among the
Edinburgh Magistrates, which ()marred upon their
being presented to .the KING whito•she lauded : his
Grace of.MosiTaose, by whom they were introduced,
bad _instructed them to do in all things as he-clich
!wining of course that they should do it aerialist ;
but they, accustomed to hang together, made all their •
paces 'and bows one in the rear of the other, and eon.

ment of the courtiers, and it is even said, of the KIN.
himself. who doubtless was •plesised to find that his
loving silijects presented themsekes before him in
all their native simplicity. The carriages approaChed
by the New Road on the Calton, drew up behind the
'Palace, and returned along the.Canongate. The num-
'lser of sPectators'Was very great; they we/
