TILE KING'S VISIT TO ECOTL.4ND.

His Mansrf takes his departure for Scotland on
Fiiday ; he will embark at Greenwich, where the
ilny 11 Yacht, and all those vessels intended to con-
vey the Royal Suite, are now assembled. The KING,
Fke the late Emperor NAPOLEON, is fond of fixing
upon certain remaikable days on which to do certain
things, and with that view is most anxious to arrive
in Edinburgh to celebrate his birth-day on the I.2th
of August.

MAJEsTY's stay in Scotland will not exceed
tcn days, for he has resolved to return by sea on the
YOth inst. The delicate state of his health would
scillingly have induced the KING to give up the
journey until next year, had not preparations to re-
ceive him gone so far. His MAJESTY, we arc sorry
to say, is just now visited with slight symptoms of
the gout, which is flying abouit his person ; the pre-
sent seat of it is in one of the elbows. His MAJESTY
has determined not to pay any private visits, so that
there will be no distinction of party or predilections
manifested during his stay in Edinburgh. Jrnmediately
on his MAJESTY'S return it is bis intention to reside
for the remainder of the year at Brighton.

GEORGE THE FOURTH. AND A' THAT.

A SONG.—Tans, Think eer the lacy 14.

BY JOIIN MAYNE.

Y.:1; GE*ROZ the Fourth is coming down
To see his friends in Fmbro-town;
To hold his court, and wear the crown
0' Scotland's Kings, and a' that:
And a' the chieftains o' the North,
Lords, !Eddies, lairds, and men of worth,
Are docking to the Firth o Forth,
To welcome him, and a' that!

Wore his barge can reach the land.
Ilehald, in millions on the strand,
A loyal People, band in hand,
In tears of joy, and a' that!
For though our Urge has Kingdoms throe,
Aad crony an Island in the sea,
Auld Scotland strives to bear the gree
For loyalty, and a' that

'Den ccck Tour bonnets, Wm blade;
A td, lore:: and !eddies, man and maid,
Let rites and honours due be paid
TJ Royalty, and a' that.
Though Kings and Queens of high renown
flourish'd aft in Einbro.town,
A better never wore the crown
Than EORGE the Fourth, fora that!

But, oh ! while guns and cannons roar,
Ard bameks wave frae shore to shore,
The heart is wounded to the core

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

SINCLAIR, formerly of Covent-Garden Theatre, is
now at Florence, completing an engagement as first
tenor. lie has received some very flattering honours
in Italy. At the Opera at Pisa, during the Carnival,'

Academy of Musk, at Bologna, the first in Italy,

When yesterday we animadverted in somewhat
ttronl; terms on the conduct of the polished Parisian
auilience towards our English Actors, we were not
aware of the extent to which their brutality had been
carried. A French Paper, the Journal des Debats, of
.Sunday, notices the affair at some length. After detail-
ing the disgusting scenes which took place " during the
horrible pantoniiine %%hid) terminated the representa-
tion clone of the chifs dantvre of the great Shakspeare,"
the Editor proceeds to state, "that the little Piece, imi-
tated from one of the most amusing productions of
the FEIDEAD, might perhaps have inspired more fa-
vourable sentiments in the audience, had the per-
formance of it been committed to tolerable actors.—
The actors aad actresses, however," he adds, " were
so tidiculous, that the only sentiment which their
'Gas were calculated to excite, was that of corn-
rauk-n• Compassion, however, was not the feeling
which appeared to prevail; for one of the most -
gal-
Lit of the oppositionists signalized his courage by
(inclining one of the largest copper coins against the
head of the actress who acted the part of the waiting-
maid. The aim of the ruffian was but too wea di-
rected, for it struck the unfortunate woman over the
eye, and she fell senseless into the arms of one of
the performers. Thus ended (says the Journalist)
This gallant and magnanimous contest. This signal
triumph was obtained on the first night. It was
Got till the attempt at a second representation that
the chivalrous gallantry of the French nation, and the
superiority of CORNEI LLE tO SHAESPEARE were fully
established, by a still more successful discharge of
missiles against the devoted actresses."
