An express arrived yesterday, with dispatches for
his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, announcing
that his MAJESTY had landed at Calais, at half-past
four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. Every prepara-
tion had been made by the local authorities, to give
him a suitable welcome, and all the English. from
Boulogne, Dunkirk, and other places on the coast,
had poured into Calais to add the warmth of British
affection to the demonstrations of French civility.
CALAIS, SEPTEMBER 26.

His Majesty King GEORGE the Fourth landed here
yesterday afternoon at four o'clock, having been con-
veyed from the Royal yacht to the harbour in a
French pilot boat. His MAJESTY proceeded imme-
diately to DESSEIN'S Hotel, where be dined. In the
evening his MAJESTY, accompanied by the Duke of
WELLINGTON. honoured the Theatre with his pre-
sence, and was greeted w ith the most lively applause
by the whole of the audience.
At about eight o'clock this morning his MAJESTY
left us, expressing his particular satisfaction at the
accommodation and attention be had received at
DESSEIN'S Hotel, which Mr.Cunvis was commanded
to communicate to the proprietor.

We have received the Palk Papers of Sunday last.

It is said that our KING will maintain a strict in-
cognito on his first arrival in France; but, that on his
return from Hanover, he will lay it aside, and be re-
ceived
with those honours which are due to a great
Sovereign, and to the ally and friend of the king of.
FitAxce.

An article from Vienna, dated the 12th inst. says:
Our Funds are improving perceptibly, though
slowly. The Me(elves were quoted yesterday at
71 13.16. This proves that the hopes that therewill
be no rupture assume every day more consistency.—
At the same time the conviction is felt, that should
hostilities break out, tivl would necessarily drag on
slowly, as the season is so far advanced. It is not
enough to send an army into Turkey, it is necessary
to provide it with food ; and the more numerous it is,
the more difficult to obtain the necessary supplies."
It is said, in au article from Stutgard, that a new
family alliance is on the tapis between the king of
WuttremßEno and the Imperial Family of Russia.—
The K LNG had married a sister of the ENIrEROR but
we know of no Princess of the Imperial House, with
whom he could contract a new marriage.
It is said, that several Greeks, who belonged to the
Sacred Battalion, have lately passed through Stut-
gard, coming from Transylvania. They wished to
embark at some Austrian port, in order to join their
countrymen in the Toren, but having been refused
permission by the Austrian Authorities, they have
directed their steps towards the South of France,
where they have hopes of meeting no obstructions.

The subscriptions in favour of the Greeks continue
to increase hi Germany. The l'russian Professor,
ZEuNE, has published a sort of catechism in seven at-
ticle, for the instruction of the Germans relative to
the Greek cause.

An article from Leipsic, of the 1 tth inst. assumes
that war against the Porte is nearly determined on ;
and that it would have commenced before now, but
that the Russian Cabinet was anxious first to regu-
late its relations with the great Powers. It is stated,
that the great distance between the different capitals,
and the frequent communications between the Courts
have solely retarded the military operations. The
exasperation of the Russian army against the Turks
is said to be wound up to the highest pitch. The
troops, it is added, are approaching, in succession, the
southern frontiers; whilst the northern provinces of
the Empire are almost entirely stripped of a mili-
tary force.
A commercial letter from Bayonne states, that in
consequence of the recent events, of which Spain has
been the theatre, all the garrisons on the Spanish
frontier, from Saint Jean de Luz to Colliouse, are to
he considerably reinforced, and that different corps
of troops are marching to proceed to their respective
destinations.

The Paris Papers of Monday have also arrived, at
a late hour this forenoon.
Neither Sir CHARLES STEWART ncr the Hanove-
rian Envoy had left Paris, in order to receive his
MAJESTY at his landing on the French territory.—
The customary etiquette in this respect was dispensed
with by his MAJESTY'S desire.

Count MOLE is said to have been named Ambas-
sador to London.

Accounts from Madrid state, that tranquillity had
been completely re-established in that capital, and
that General Moatm.o had resumed the military
command of the province.
The Gazette de France says, that letters from Milan
announce, as a report generally current, that Belt-
, GAMI died on the 10th August, and that certain per-

sons relate strange things as to the manner of his
death; but the whole statement is, we suspect, only
an echo of one to the same purport which was set
afloat, last week, by a credulous London Paper, and
which we declined taking any notice of at the time,
on account of its apparent want of authenticity.

We have received to-day, by another Lisbon Mail,
a further supply of Papers to the 15th instant. The
following are extracts: •

LISBON, SEPTEMBER 14.
The Cortes have been discussing, among other
matter, the regulation for the Council of State, which
consists of tea Articles, of which the following is
the substance :

1. The Council of State is composed of eight Members, chosen
by the King from the triple list which the Cortes shall present
to him. The Secretaries of State attend the Sittings, and each
has a vote in the affairs of his own department.
On being debated, it was resolved that the Minis-
ters should not have a vote or be present, and that
the Secretary should be one of the Counsellors, chosen
by themselves.
2. The Council shall meet in the Royal Palace twice a week,
or oftener, when the King desires it.—Approved.

presiding in his absence), five Counsellors, and the Secretary.

of the Council.

.5. The Counsellors, before they enter on the exercise of their
duty, shall take an oath to the King to maintain the Catholic

he shall in his conscience judge the most conducive to promote
obedience to the laws and the general good of the kingdom.
• Articles 6 and 7 relate to the mode of discussion.

8. The King is at liberty to follow the opinion of the Council,
not the votes of the Members, being merely consultative. The
resolution which he shall take shall be written in the margin of
the Act by the Secretary, Ind read in the following Sitting.
Some alterations were proposed in these Articles,
and referred to the Committee.

9. The Counsellots shall advise the King in all the affairs de.
clarcd in the Constitution, and also in those in which the King
shall wish to hear his Council.

This Article was suppressed.

10. kis for the Council to propose• to the King triple lists of
persons to be appointed to offices in the Maghitrisy,.to Bi-
shoprics, and all other ecclesiastical benefices, with Lifsiithout
Cures, which are in the patronage, one of which persons the
King !nay choose. The Council shall take greal'carc that the
lists contain only persons who, besides their well-known
are distinguished for their love and firm adherence to the consti-
•
tutional course.

.....
This Article and the following, relative to the ap-
pointment of other civil officers and to the Army,
gave rise to many long discOurses, and several amend-
ments and additions were proposed.

The Deputies from Rio de Janeiro have taken their
seats in the Cortes.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ST. JAGO DE CUBA,
DATED JULY 28TH.

4, Our late Governor, Escudero, took French leave
on the night of the 22d inst. and embarked on board
a French ship, bound to Rourdeaux. All is quiet in
the city ; indeed, the Governor's absence appears to
have restored tranquillity, but how long it will last
I cannot say."

AUGUST 15TII.

" His Catholic Majesty's ketch Hyaena, of twelve
guns, for Puerto Cabello, last from Curacoa in five

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM BOSTON, AUGUST 30TH.

" The new Viceroy of Venezuela, having lately
arrived at Porto Cabello from *Spain, with a fleet
of nine sail, has deemed it prudent to retire for the
present to Jamaica, with a considerable part of the
Royal garrison : the Patriots were making rapid pro-
gress towards the possession of the whole country."
