THE KINGS VISIT TO IRELAND.

We have received to-day, by express, accounts
from Holyhead, announcing the arrival of the Royal
squadron in Holyhead Bay, on Monday night, the
landing of the KING on Tuesday afternoon, and his
MAJESTY'S immediate departure to pay the Marquis
of ANGLESEA a visit at his seat, of Plaesnwyd.
As the melancholy tidings of his Illustrious Con-
sort's decease must next day have overtaken his MA-
JESTY at Plaesnwyd, they would no doubt pro-
duce an entire change in his MAJF.sYst's intentions
with respect to visiting Leland.
We think it probable that his MAJESTY may take
up his abode for some time with the Marquis of AN-
GLESEA instead of returning w town; and that after
a few weeks devoted to the retirement suited to his
widowed state he may then proceed on his original
destination. The high expectations which his MA-
naves promised visit has excited in the Irish peo-
ple, and the political benefiti which may be expected
to flow from it, will render it a matter of extreme
regret, should so auspicious an event be more than
temporarily postponed.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE AGENT TO LLOYD'S
AT HOLYHEAD, DATED 7TH INSTANT, ONE, P.M.
The Royal Squadron came to anchor off this
harbour at ten, P. M. yesterday. His MAJESTY does
not land, and it appears very probable the squadron
will be under weigh in a few hours. The wind is
contrary, but moderate."
EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER RECEIVED IT EXPRESS.
Half-past five o'clock, P.N. Tuesday.
The first beacon was fired at seven o'clock on
Monday evening, at Holyhead, the Royal squadron
being then ten miles off. The inhabitants were ani-
mated by the greatest enthusiasm. It was confi-
dently said that his MAJESTY would not land that
night, and all retired to rest. At twelve o'clock the
Royal yacht anchored in the harbour. The glad
tidings were conveyed with the speed of lightning
through the town.
At one o'clock every house in the town was lighted
with candles. His MAJESTY, we are enabled to state,
was struck with admiration at the appearance of the
town. Until two o'clock it was understood that his
MAJESTY would sail for Dublin at four o'clock in the
afternoon, chiefly grounded upon the following letter,
in answer to one from Sir J. STASLEY, the principal
Magistrate here:

" His Majesty's Yacht, Royal George,
Holyhead Bay. August 9.
"MY DEAR SIR—I have communicated to the
KING the sentiments of loyalty and devotion which
are contained in your letter, and in the Address
which accompanied it, and I am commanded by his
MAJESTY to signify to the Magistrates, Clergy, Free-
holders, and other inhabitants of Holyhead and its
neighbourhood, that he duly appreciates the kind
expressions of attachment manifested towards him
on the present occasion, and that though; from cir-
cumstances, he is at this moment prevented from
landing, that his MAsErry fully purposes, upon his,
return from Ireland, to pay a visit to the always loyal
ar.d dutiful Island of Anglesea.—l am, my dear Sir,
Your faithful humble servant,
To Sir Jou" STANLEY, Bart. " CHARLES PAGET.*
But at two o'clock, P. M. the happy announcement
was made, that his MAJESTY would land; and im-
mediately the beach and all the avenges leading to it
were thronged with spectators.
At five o'clock his MAJESTY landed on the Pier,
amid a Royal salute from two pieces of ordnance
planted before the Custom-House, and the ships of
the squadron. Immediately upon his landing on the
Pier, Sir Jona STANLEY, accompanied by a Deputa-
tion of the Inhabitants, presented his MAJESTY an
Address of Congratulation on his arrival, to which
his MAJESTY answered-
-4d That he received with peculiar pleasure this
affectionate and loyal Address of a Principality, the
title of which he had borne during so long a portion
of his life."
The spectators cheered his MAJESTY in the most
enthusiastic manner. The carriage of the Marquis
of Avutsszo was in attendance, and his Mourn
set off for the Marquis's seat, followed by several
other carriages, and by a procession of the people at
least a mile long. The Marquis's seat is twenty-
seven miles hence. His MAJESTY, at present, ir.tends
to sail for Ireland to-morrow, at four o'clock in the
afternoon. His MAJESTY is in perfect health and
spiriu.

DUBLIN.
PRIVATE LETTF.R.
Sammy., AUGUST s, 1821.
As yet I can only speak of the enthusiastic feeling
that precedes the Royal Visit, and, indeed, this is
such as is difficult to desci ibe. All the Corporations,
all the Parishes, ate arranging. under the direction

►. .
of a General Committee, the mode of procession to
receive his MAigsty, and, as 'mentioned in my last,
a distinctive mark of dress or costume is to be
adopted. A blue coat, buff waistcoat, white panta-
loons, and coronation button, with this device:—
• A hundred thousand welcomes
" 18—G. IV. R.-21,
" In Ireland;
and, in addition to the above, will be the light blue
scarf of silk, or tabbinet, and a medal struck for the
occasion. A fond bridegroom never had his home
prepared for the temple of his happiness with more
anxious solicitude than is exhibited in every part of
this City—the fronts of all the houses painting, the
new gilding of the Royal Arms over the shops, the
preparations for illuminating, in which there is the
most unlimited emulation of taste and expense ; the
influx of strangers crowding and overflowing the
Hotels and the public buildings—the Bank, Custom-
House, Post-Office, and University, pre-eminent, all
display a rate of preparation creditable to our glee-

tions and their object.
Last night was the benefit of Miss STEPHENS, at
our Theatre ; the House was crowded in every part,
and when, as is the fixed rule and practice with us,
the band played GOD save the King, it was encored
three times, the audience joining in vocal accompa
niment ; and, at the close of the last repetition, an
universal burst and shout of applause simultaneously
succeeded, the Gentlemen waving their hats, the
Ladies their handkerchiefs. On these occasions honest
Pat always sports his characteristic wit. Our Na-
tional Air of St. Patrick's Day always follows GOD
save the King, but on this occasion it was thrown so
much in the background, that one of the god';, ex-
claimed that " poor St. Patrick was put upon the
fourth shelf instead of the second."

MaIIDAY, Firs O'CLOCK. P.N.
Lord SIDMOUTH arrived at the Castle about an
hour ago,and dines to-day with the LUND LIEUTZNANT.
A great sensation has been excited here by the news
of the Gluten's indisposition; believe me that I do
not write as a partisan, when I say it is the first
favourable interest which has been excited for her in
this country ; we being apprehensive that her death,
should it happen, would prevent, for a while at least,
the Royal visit.
We expect his MAJESTY on Wednesday. He will
proceed immediately to the Castle, thence to the
Lodge in the Park. The neat day he will hold a
Levee; the next, give a dinner to the Great Officers
of State, Ambassadors, &c. the following, hold ano-
ther Levee; and on Sunday go to Christ Church
Cathedral. In the midst of all. this joyful prepara-
tion sinister accidents will occur, The Marquis of
CONYWOHAM had a splendid lamp, that cost siz
hunched guineas, hung in his great room at Slanes,
and immediately afterwards it fell; but it is hoped
it has not been wholly demolished. A person has
been sent down to repair it. Since the battle of the
Boyne, no such interesting event has taken place in
that neighbourhood ; and the Genius of the Boyne
could not have been more alarmed when the Duke
of &HO/ABEND fell into its arms, than at the lus-
trous crash.
The Dublin Society have voted the erection of a
statue, large as life; of the KING, to be placed in their
Board-room ; it will cost £5,000: the Royal Aca-
demy,n portrait, which will cost £.500.
EXTRACT FROM ANOTHER LETTER.
DUBLIN, AUGUST 6.
The preparations making here for the Krtra's re-
ception are very grand : all the roads by which lie is
to pass, from his landing at Dunleary up to Dublin,
and again from the Vice-Regal Lodge into the Castle,
have undergone great repairs. Every county in ire.
land has prepared Loyal Addresses, but, I believe,
none more loyal and devoted than the county and
city of Dublin. The County, the City, and the Ca-
tholic Body, purpose each to address him separately,
in language of the greatest devotion. Indeed, all
party-spirit, which has for so long a time disunited
the inhabitants of Dublin, seems to disappear under
the magical influence—the expected arrival of our
Royal Master. Nothing but the greatest concord
and harmony prevails.
Sir B. BLOOMFIELD visited the Theatre on Satur-
day night, and on his being recognized, GOD save the
King was universally called for, and was accom-
panied all through with the loudest and most rap-
turous applause.
The Bay of Dublin will be covered with vessels
filled with spectators, in order to see and greet
his MAJESTY'S arrival; and I have no doubt the
entire road from Dunleary to Dublin (a space of five
miles), will •be lined by people, whose only emulation
is to exceed each other in expressions of loyalty to a
KING for.whom there is here felt an ardour of devo-,
tion perfectly romantic. He is so accomplished—so
graceful—he has been so friendly to the Irish—in
fine, all his errors are considered 14 wanderings bf the
head; but his heart is considered pure and warm;
and every Irishman feels he has a. sympathy for such
a man. His arrival is expected en Wednesday.
ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE. "
AU is yet uncertainty as to the day when his MA..
Jam may be expected to arrive in this City. The
authority of the LORD LIEUTENANT ceases the mo-
ment his MAJESTY sets his foot on Irish ground, and
his Excellency is to dine at the same table with the
Great Officers of State, unless when specially invited
by his MAJESTY. Arrangements were yesterday
made for the accommodation of the Royal suit. Mr.
MASH, I am happy to inform you, is fast recovering

. -

from his late accident. Miss STEPHENS, who is the
grand attraction here this season, took the Beggar's
Opera for her benefit last night ; the Theatre was
' crowded to a degree almost beyond any former pre-
cedent,
and I should not be surprised to hear that
last night would produce another GA R RICK'S fever in
Dublin. The persons who crowded the lobbies would
have been sufficient to fill the House on an ordinary

occasion. Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD was present,
and sat in the same box with Sir DAVID BAIRD.—
The moment he was recognised by the audience, a
shout of rapturous applause was raised from all parts
of the house, and every Irishman was prepared to
ideutify the Right Hon. Baronet with the proudest
event in the histoty of his country. He appeared
deeply sensible of this strong manifestation of grate-
ful feeling. The loyal air of GOD save the King was
called for with a tumultuous exultation which it
would be difficult to imagine, and impossible to de-
scribe. So great was the enthusiasm, that the au-
dience insisted on its being encored before they would
allow the national air of Patrick's Day to be given.
The additional stanza, which I here subjoin, pro-
duced something like a convulsive delight through
.the house, and Miss ST:spitz:a surpassed her wonted
powers in the execution of it :
Braving the Ocean's roar,
Gloaos seeks green Elk's idiom
Blessings to bring !
Oh! how emit! tongue shall greet—.
Oh! how each heart shall beat—
While Ilasant and Earth repeat
Goo save the King!
The whole house stood up, the Ladies waving their
handkerchiefs, and the Gentlemen their hats, while
the gods indulged in transports of joy too astounding
for description. At no time before did the Theatre,
display more rank and fashion the lower tier of'
boxes was occupied by the female branches of the
Nobility ; and in the pit there were some persons of
high distinction.
The arrangements for his MAJESTY'S reception at
the University are nearly completed ; the banquet
will be the most sumptuous that was ever served up
within its walls. The LORD LIEUTENANT will sit on
the right of his MAJESTY, and the chair on the left
will, at the commencement, remain unoccupied. The
Provost, Doctor KYLE, is to wait upon the Km° with
a plate of soup, when it is understood his MAJESTY
will point to the vacant chair on the left hand, and
confer upon him the distinguished honour of occu-
pying it. Before his MAJzsTy's reception in the
Library, the Nobility and Gentry, all dressed in Irish
manufacture, are to range themselves along the gal-
leries, the Ladies are to wear large white plumes.
The following is the form of ceremonial to he ob-
served at the reception of his MAJESTY at Dunleary;
approved by his Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT:
CEREMONIAL TO RE OBSERVED AT THE RECEPTION OF
HIS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY KING GEORGE IT.
IN IRELAND.
The KING being arrived at Holyhead, a Messen-
ger will be dispatched to inform his Excellency the
LORD LIEUTENANT of his MAJESTY' gracious inten-
tions relative to the time of his landing upon the
Irish shore.

Royal entry, public notice thereof is to be given by
