The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday have
arrived since our last.
The Duke of VVELLtwoTos arrived in the French
capital on Thursday.
A private letter dated Zante, 20th July, says—
" Athens has just constituted itself a Provisional Re-
rublic, under the standard of the Cross. Livadea, ,
Salona (Amphissa), Coda (Plates), all the villages of
Phocis, Bedia, and Megaris, have adhered to the
compact of union of the Athenians. Hydra, Egina,
Salamis, and Zea, have sent their adherence to the
acts of the Senate of the City of Minerva; and every
thing allows us to hope that the destinies of Greece
are going to change."
The last accounts received at Vienna from Con-
stantinople come down to the 25th of July. The
following is published as the substance of them :
The ultimatum of Russia was delivered on the 18th;
and as the time fixed by the Emperor ALEXANDER
for the answer expired on the 28th, people were very
curious to know what part the Porte would take. All
the subjects of Russia had quitted Constantinople
the few Russian vessels which remained in the har-
bour with corn had just hoisted the French Rag.
The Monilcur warns its readers against giving
implicit credit to the accounts of the Greek Insur-
rection in the German Papers, and pronounces the
statement that the Turks suffered a naval defeat from
the Greeks at the entrance of the Dardanelles, to be
a fah, ication.

ALGIERS, JULY 19.
The Dev had begun to arm his corsairs, but the

HIS MAJESTY 'S VISIT TO IRELAND.

FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.
•DUBLIN, THURSDAY, AUGUST ea.
There never yet was such an audience in a Dublin
Theatre, or such intense and eager anxiety to form
it, as on Wednesday last. Early in the forenoon
crowds of persons collected about all the doors, and
occupied much of the approaches in every direction,
and these not of the secondary orders, but carriages,
filled with Ladies of fashion, began to move towards
the Theatre as early as three o'clock P. at. 'I am
happy to say, that notwithstanding the great crush,
no accident whatever happened ; and whether our
Irish Ladies have more nerve or less affectation than
the daughters of Britain, there was not one fainting
fit in the boxes, although the weather at this moment
is uncommonly warm. As his MAJESTY went to the
Theatre, the greeting of the multitude was most ar-
dent and enthusiastic ; and the streets, at his return,
past twelve o'clock, were as full as at noon-day, again
to yield him the clamorous tribute of their hearts.
The manner in which the KING'S Box was prepared,
and the whole style of his reception, was highly cre-
ditable to the Proprietor, Mr. HARRIS.
To-day another busy scene presented itself.—
His MAJESTY went to visit the Linen. Hall, the first
public institution or establishment to which he went,
and, I suppose, in compliment to the staple trade of
Ireland. The Trustees all attended in full dress, and
refreshments were prepared for his suite. His MA.
JESTY went afterwards to the National Bank, where
a splendid ddeuni was prepared. This was a sight
truly imposing. Admission was bad to the interior
only through tickets. The Cash Office, one of the
finest and handsomest rooms in Europe, was pre-
pared wholly for the accommodation of Ladies. The
offices, or counters of the clerks, are ranged next the
walls, and upon these platforms were erected, with
seats thereon, theatrically arranged, one seat ascend-
ing behind the other, and these filled with Ladies in
their gayest, richest dresses, and, waving o'er their
lovely brows, the light treasures of the Nubian bird.
'through this galaxy— this milky way of Irish beauty,
his MAJESTY had to pass, and if notice, amounting
to adoration, from such sources, could gratify royalty,
GEORGE the FOURTH ought to feel the proudest and
most pleased Monarch in Europe. Everybody who
obtained a ticket went in full dress. The immediate
approaches to the Bank present, at this moment
(three o'clock), an impenetrable mass of people; and
the carriages of those who obtained admission, and
those who came to see, extend a considerable way
in every direction. There were 1,500 tickets of ad-
mission issued, but, between the force of " love and
money," I dare say 200 or 500 more might be added.
From the Bank his MAJESTY goes to the Castle,
dresses, and then proceeds to dine with the LORD
MAYOR and Corporation of the City. Nothing can
exceed the splendour of preparation for this feast.—
You already know that a new Rotunda has been built
for the purpose, a description of which you also have
had in our newspapers. The galleries all round will
be filled with Ladies. During the dinner vocal and
linstrumental music will be performed, and some origi-
I nal compositions have been prepared for the occasion.
On Monday his MAJESTY dines with the Uni-
versity, where, from the very limited time there has
been for preparation, it is wonderful how everything
has been got up so well.
Such is the avidity:to see the grand spectacle of the
Curragh on Wednesday, that for the last four days
carriages, barouches, &c. have been engaged, as high
as 20 guineas for the day for a coach or barouche
and four horses, and now no vehicle can be had to
hire for any money. His MAJESTY, it is said, will
not dine with the Turf Club : a dejeuni will be pre-
pared, but he will return to the Park to dinner. On
Monday his MAJESTY is expected to view the Cus-
tom-House; and, if possible, the new Docks will be
opened. On this occasion there is a strong desire to
compliment Sir WILLIAM CURTIS, by admitting his
pleasure-yacht into the Dock the first; but the com-
mercial interest of Dublin oppose this, requiring that
a native-built vessel shall be the first to enter the
Docks. Two Gentlemen mooting this point, one
warmly said, " What right has a stranger and a fo-
reign-built vessel to this precedency?" " None in
the world," answered the other, " none in the world,
but through courtesy." That Curtis, I would gladly
have exercised towards the worthy, good-humoured,
Aldermanic, John Bull Knight. On the evening of
the Drawing-room, a young Lady, and a lovely one
too, exclaimed, " that she wished of all things to
know Lord SIDMOUTH and the Marquis of LONDON-
DERRY ." The good-natured Baronet overheard her,
and soon approaching her with these distinguished
Noblemen, one under each arm, introduced-them
to the fair aspirant after their acquaintance.
DUBLIN, AUGUST gs.
I have little to communicate r you to-day. The
dinner at the Mansion-House, merely as a dinner,'
went off splendidly, and his MAJESTY enjoyed their
civic hospitality with a gratifying grace and conde-
scension. To the LORD MAYOR, Sir A. B. KING, Bart.
his affable attention was most distinguishing, as his
MAJESTY addressed himself to him particularlyl
through the evening, until ten o'clock, when he re-1
tired. Owing to some mistake in bringing up the
Royal carriage, the KING was detained some minutes
in the street, in front of the Mayoralty House, but
the delay ought to have been most gratifying to him ;
the earnestness with which the people expressed their

prayers for his long life and happiness, cannot be de-
scribed, there was in heart and truth a benediction
upon every tongue. After the cloth was removed,
the LORD MAYOR gave the health of his MAJESTY,
which was drank most enthusiastically ; after this,
his MAJESTY arose, and most gracefully and impres-
sively, gave the health of the LORD MAYOR and
Corporation of Dublin.
His MAJESTY viewed the Dublin Society House (late
the Duke of Lemma's) to-day. A splendid &jostle
was prepared, but of which, probably, his MAJESTY
did not partake, as was the case yesterday at the
Bank. Slane Castle, beautifully seated on the river
Boyne, and thirty miles distant from the Capital, will
have the honour of receiving its Royal guest this
evening. His MAJESTY will remain there until Mon-
day. On Sunday he will attend Divine Service at
the Parish Church of Slane. Among the few pei.
sonages of distinction who will accompany his MA-
JESTY, the Right Hon. W. C. PLUNKETT is men-
tioned. By the bye, it is considered singular that,
notwithstanding the conciliatory mania, Counsellor
O'CONNELL did not dine yesterday at the City dinner.
Corporately he had no right to be there, but he might
have been invited as many others were. The galleries
were filled with beauty and fashion.
The University-examination Hall is preparing to-
day, and highly ornamenting, for the dinner to hi.
MAJESTY on Monday next.
FROM THE DUBLIN "JORNING POST.
THE CIVIC DINNER.
The moment his MAJESTY entered, the whole
of the assembly rose, and a fine military band,
placed in the gallery, struck up the grand national
anthem of " Goo save the King." His MAJESTY
walked up the middle of the room with towering
dignity, supported by the LORD MAYOR, who con-
ducted him to his Throne. His MAJESTY'S suite, :Ind
the dignitaries most illustrious in rank, occupied the
Royal table. Grace was said by the LORD PRIMATE;
the whole of the guests then resumed their seats.—
The LORD MAYOR helped his MAJESTY to some soup;
but some persons on his MaJasty's left wishing also
to be helped, and being too far from the LORD
MAYOR, his MAJESTY, in the most condescending
manner, took the ladle and helped the LORD LIEU.
TENANT, Prince ESTERHAZY, the LORD CHANCEL-
LOR, and some others. When his MAJESTY had
finished his soup, he took his glass, and immediately
challenged the LORD MAYOR, who sat upon his right,
and the LORD LIEUTENANT upon his left; they im-
mediately rose and bowed to his MAJESTY, who drank
to both their healths. The cloth being removed,
The Lotto MAYOR row, and proposed the health
of " our most gracious SOVEREIGN, who had ha
floured this day his Corporation of the City of Dub-
lin with his presence." This toast was received with
the most enthusiastic applause.
The LORD MAYOR next gave " the Duke of YORK
and the Army," and subsequently 64 the Duke of
CLARENCE and the Navy," both of which toasts were
received with acclamation.
The nest toast included all the members of the
Royal Family—(Load cheering).
His MAJESTY expressed to the LORD MAYOR, who
was his host upon this occasion, his delight and sur-
prise at the splendid preparations that had been made
for his reception. His MAJESTY'S commendations
were of such a nature as to call up the LORD MAYOR
to make his humble acknowledgments to his MAJESTY.
His MAJESTY, after having most condescendingly
taken wine with all those immediately about him, in-
timated his wish to retire, and the necessary arrange-
ments being made, at a few minutes before ten o'clock
his MAJESTY stood up, and, attended by the LORD
MAYOR and all the Great Officers of State. proceeded
down the centre of the room, all the company stand-
ing ; the National Anthem was again played on his
MAJESTY quitting the room, and we much feared
that the festivities of the evening would have been
now broken up on his MAJESTY'S departure, but in a
minute or two the LORD MAYOR returned, accompa-
nied by Lord Sinstotrru, the Marquis of LONDON-
DERRY, the Marquis of CoNYNOHAM, and most of the
other Noble Peers who sat at his MAJESTY'S table.—
The splendid chair on which his MAJESTY sat was
now removed from under the canopy, and the LORD
MAYOR having removed his chair into the place of
that which had been previously occupied by his MA-
JESTY, the Marquis of LONDONDERRY took his seat
on the LORD MAYOR'S right, and Lord SIDSIOUTII on
his left. The LORD MAYOR then rising, 4ave " The
glorious 12th, 17th, and 28d of August,' being the
auspicious days of his Maaerry's landing, public
entry, and honouring the Corporation of the City
of Dublin.
This toast was hailed with rapturous applause, and
it was many minutes before the LORD MAYOR, al-
though standing, could obtain a hearing to announce
the health of Lord SIDMOUTH, which was drank in a
bumper, the whole company standing.
Lord SIDMOUTH rose, and in a very neat and em-
phatic speech, thanked the LORD MAYOR and Cor-
poration for the high honour they had done him.
The LORD MAYOR next proposed 44 the health of
the Marquis of LONDONDERRY." This toast was en-
thusiastically drank with three times three, the com-
pany standing. Contrary to usual custom, they re-
mained standing, every eye being fixed with intense
interest upon the Noble Marquis, who immediately
rose, to gratify what seemed to be the anxious ex-
pectation of the Assembly. The Noble Marquis
commenced by congratulating himself that he was
entitled to the proud designation of an Irishman,
which be considered as one of his most honourable
titles—[The Noble Marquis wore several Orders.]—
He had been present, in England and on the Conti-
nent, at many splendid fetes and dinners, but the
present was the most delightful repast he had ever
witnessed. The hearts of Irishmen, on the present
occasion, spoke out, and beat responsive to that of
their beloved Monarch who had that night honoured
them with his august presence. If he could read the
intentions of that benign and paternal heart, he would
venture to affirm, that this was not the last time that
his friends and countrymen would have the happi-
nesshis-
Majestycownagras that of mhiamkseinlgfiALL his people happy,
of seeing him among them: the object of
and he as au Irishman, on the
good order that the people, from the liighe to the

lowest, had manifested on his Majesty's late pnblic
eatry into this city. The Noble Marquis concluded
a most eloquent and energetic address, by thinking
the health of the Lord Mayor and the other Gentle-

men assembled.
The LORD MAYOR next gave " the health of the
Marquis Conyngharn," who returned thanks in a neat
and appropriate speech. His Lordship next gave
" the health of Sir William Curtis."
Sir WILLIAM stood up and returned thanks. He
expressed his gratitude for the very high and unex-
ampled honour that had been conferred upon him.
He entreated that Assembly, whom he wished to
look upon, not only as countrymen, but friends and
brothers, to believe, that, however a portion of the
Press of the sister country might attempt to oppose
the Government and the Constituted Authorities, yet
the great bulk of the people were true, and firmly
11 attached to the King and Constitution ; he
wished
GOD that the disaffected in England could only wit-
ness the unanimity and enthusiasm with which the
people of Ireland received the Monarch; they would
be convinced how futile and impotent any petty en-
deavours of theirs would be to shake the loyalty of the
Empire.. • Sir WILLIAM sat down amidst applauses.
The LORD MAYOR now rose, and gave, emphati.
dilly, 0 Our most gracious Sovereign George the
Fourth, the KING of IRELAND." The band again
played " GOD save the King," and the company soon
after separated.
HIS MAJESTY'S VISIT TO TILE THEATRE
His MAJESTY was accompanied by Earl TALBOT,
the Duke of MONTROSE, the Marquis of Haanroar,
Marquis of GRAHAM, and several Officers of his
Household, all of whom stood in the Box beside his
MAJESTY. As his MAJESTY entered, the whole au-
dience rose, and hailed him with acclamation; his
MAJESTY bowed repeatedly ; at each obeisance the
applause redoubled—the men in the pit, with one ac-
cord, waved their hats, and the Ladies in the bores,
their handkerchiefs ; some minutes elapsed before the
applause subsided. His MAJESTY was dressed in the
Windsor uniform, with two large gold epaulettes;
be wore the Star and Blue Riband of the Order of
&. Patrick, and, we observed uith much satisfaction,
that his MAJESTY looked well, and appeared in ex-
cellent spirits. During the performance he frequently
applauded, and paid much attention to the Piece as
it advanced; at sere scenes his MAJESTY laughed
heartily. As the curtain fell after each act the ap-
plause was renewed; his MAJESTY appeared th:eply
impressed and pleased by these repeated manifesta-
tions of the public feeling. The performances were,
The Dnenna, and Patrick's Day. Miss STEPHEIA
sang, besides the songs of the Piece, Eveleen's Bower,
in which she was encored.
VISIT TO SLANE.
One squadron of the 7th Hussars, and one Cap-
tain, two subalterns, and fifty rank and file, from the
23d Fusileers, with their Band and King's Coker,
marched, on Wednesday morning, for Stare Cade,
the seat of the Marquis of CoNYNGIIANI, as Guard of
Honour to receive his MAJESTY.

Friday night a general and brilliant illumining
don took place at Kilkenny, in honour of his MA.
JESTY'S arrival in Dublin.
We understand that the new song, to the air of
GOD sane the King, which was first published in the
STAR of the 20th instant, is now all the rage in Dub-
lin. It is but fair to state, that though we ar✓ailed our-
selves of the copy of the words procured by our Cor-
respondent, they are still the private property of the
ingenious Author.
