FROM VIE CALEDONIAN MERCURY OF MONDAY.

His MAJESTY'S approaching visit to this metro,;:i-
lis has become the universal topic of conversation 4:..1
interest; and to those who are at a distance, it wou'i
be impossible to convey any idea of the bustle a.:.1
agitation to which it has given rise, and of the st.ll-.;
of expr-.aLion which it has excited among all classed.
8' the period when JAMES VI. left Scotland to
assume the sceptre of the United Kingdom, Edin-
burgh has not been visited by any Sovereign in
full and undisturbed enjoyment of regal splendc:i:
and power.

CHARLES 11, is the only King who has ever sect
it; and whatever ha may have been de jure, he ‘‘.ks
not at that time the Sovereign de facto, seeing
he was only contending for the possession of his re;;::l
privileges. It is scarcely worth while, thetclore, to
take notice of this hurried and unsatisfactory risit, to

which the future Sovereign was besides in a manner
compelled by the necessity of his affairs. Tile es-
pected visit of
this Majesty GEORGE IV. is in all re-
spects different. He is the undoubted heir of Lhe
Throne, and the only Sovereign, since 11:e Ilev-
lution, in whose universally acknowledged title evry
rival claim is extinct. His visit to the ancient ,1,2tt0-

polls of the Scottish Kings is dictated by no stare !;c•

cessity ; it is the free impulse of his MAJEsn's " I
gracious disposition, and purely compliment.ny to •-1'
loyal subjects in Scotland, and as such we are F:e.
paring to receive it. In this respect all chis,c, r:t
only here, but in every part of Scotland, are rir.g
with each other in their preparations to do honour to
this auspicious event. Already the town is beg,innin
to fill with strangers; there is even a more th.tu kVdi"
nary agitation and bustle in the streets, and cyci.F
thing we see or hear gives note of anxious pep:ra-
tion. Already an impression has been made on our
provision markets; lodgings for hire are beginnin:
to be in great request, and individual homes
alarmed with the threatened visits of country coa,in
from all quarters. The shops have begun to feel t!e
beuefici4l effects of the iucteet4ing bustle iu a great sic-

111.-nd for their goods. Court dresses are in great re-
quest, and there is little doubt but that the Levee
•ill be most numerous and splendid. All classes, in
short, seem to be looking to the approaching event
with symptonis of great excitation and interest; and
Cie Royal visit to Edinburgh will, we have no doubt,
form an era memorahle in the history of the city.
We understand that, in consequence of the uncer-,
tainty of the place of landing, the idea of a triumphal
arch, through which his MAJESTY was to have been
received into. the Royalty, has been abandoned.
The Throne arrived at Lehi; ob Friday, and was
ronveed to the Palace on Saturday. It is to be
rlaced in the Drawing-room.
S.iturday, a considerable quantity of baggage be-
lenging to his MAJESTY was 'added at Leith, and was
fot warded to Dalkeith House, under an escort of mi-
litary ; it consisted of plate, china, bed and table
linen. A considerable quantity of poultry also was
landed for the use of the Royal table.

The Peeresses and Ladies of rank will prob4.ly
occupy a stand of their own, between the corner of
the High Church and the Police Office: the LORD
PROVOST has not the disposal of the places in front
of the Exchange, ahlrough such a report has been in
circulation.

The Secretary of the Senates Academicus has issued
notice to the students attending the University, di-
recting them to enter their names with the College
Librarian, from H horn they are to receive tickets to
join the other public bodies in the procession of his
MAJESTY from the PAlace to the Castle, &c.

A correspondent observes, that in the arrange-
ments proposed for lining the streets during his bf-a-
attsTy's procession from the Palace TO the Castle, no
r:ention is made of the Burgesses who are not incor-
ro; aced, who •form a most respectable part of the
communiq, and suggests that some part of the line
of p:ocession should be reserved for them. We have
r,o doubt that this suggestion will obtain from the
Committee due consideration.

Bald, day, fourteen c•fhis MAJESTY'S carriage horses
arrive::: rat Dalkeith House stables. They are bays,
tails. They have been fourteen days on
roaj from London. Twelve more carriage horses
r.:-e coming by sea, and thirteen riding horses by land.
T..e cerebrated cream-coloured horses remain in Lon-
The harness to be used by his MAJESTY is
biazk, eiei;antly mounted with brass. - One of his
"...I.AJEs-rv's carriages arrived along with the horses.
The old butcher market at Daikeith fitted up for
cavalry stables.

NVe understand the rand Cavalry Review is to
take place in the Duke crf 131;ccLeucH's deer park, at
D.ilkeith. In ajdition to the corps already mentioned,
Peebles-shire Yeomanry will also be present.
WILLIAM MARSHALL, present Deann of the Gal.',
smiths of Edli:burgli, has been appointed Goldsmith
to his MAJESTY for Scotland.

The loyalty of the Highlanders to their country
and KING requires no comment. The M'Grigors in-
huhiting the mountainous district of Rannoch, on
hearing of the intended visit of their SOVEREIGN to
their native country, immedia‘y assembled at the
east end of Loch Rannoch, and were drilled by Lieu-
tenant M‘GRIGOR, at Inverhadden, the better to qua-
lify them for appearance before their Lime, should
he honour Azhole with his presence.

The attendants upon the Risotto tie House of Peers on Tees-
dz.: were not so TlTlmerous as is generally the case on such occa-
sinns, the Coosptroller of the Household, the Treasurer of the
Household, &c. being gone to Scotland. The Duke of DORSET,
as Master if the Horse, and Lord A MHERCT, as Lord in Waiting,
rode in the state carriage with the Kisc.

Thursday Lord NIONTAGU arrived at Bothwell
Caste, the seat of his father•in-law, Lord Dot-ca./is.
Friday Lord MELVILLE arrived at Melville Castle.
Saturday Lord MANSFIELD and family passed
tllrnugh Elinburgh, on their way to Scoon Palace.
Sunday, Lord DUNGLASS, attached to our Em-
bassy at St. Petersburgh, left town for Russia. The
same day, Mr. WARD, attached to our Embassy at
:Madrid, left town for Spain.

Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was
held at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the
Marquis of LONDONDERRY, Earl of LIVERPOOL. Earl
of HARROWBY, Earl of WESTMORELAND, tke CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCMEQVER, Duke of WEL,LINGTON,
Lord IVIARYBOEOUGH, Mr. RostNum, &c. The Ca-
binet continued in deliberation till a quarter before
four o'clock.

The nest accounts from Constantinople and Smyrna
are expected with much anxiety, it being feared that
the Turks may take dreadful vengeance on the Chris.
tians in those cities.
According to several concurring accounts, Michele,
ilozaris, and Normann, united together, continued
their operations since the 18th June ; and Chourschid
l'acha retreated towards Larissa, after having suf-
fered great losses. It is, indeed, reported that he had
Lastaihed a great defeat near Larissa, and escaped
w.th only a few troops; but this last statement needs
cunfirmation.
Accounts that may be depended upon, from Bi-
toglia, of the Ist July, say that Omar Brione, whom
Chourschid left at Joannina, has likewise been de-
feated by the Greeks and Suliots. Larissa, it is said,
still holds out; but the Greek troops are advancing
on all sides towards it. The defeat of the Turkish fleet
Scio has produced an extraordinary sensation at
tialonichi and Serer.
ANCONA, JULY Is.
Among other vessels from the Archipelago ar-
rived here, is a Greek ship, the Captain of which caw
the Turkish fleet on fire. His account of the affair
agrees with the others received before.
The Captain Bey is said also to have log his Tie.
Netelino is now secure from danger.

7th Dragoon Guards, marched into Glasgow Barracks, to remain.
A squadron of the same Regiment, under the command of Lieu-
tenant Colonel Hasa, marched into Mustelbusgh, near Edin-
lourgh, on the sth instant, to be in attendance on his Menem%
l'he whole of the 'Greys are to be quartered at Dalkeith, and
