and the whole way was lined with the military, tlis
2d Regiment, one of the finest in the French service,
corn manded by the Duke de CER Rs, who of course pre.

marks of loyalty, could not fail to heighten the pleb

delighted and astonished to find such excellent pis

On retiring, his MAJESTY gracefully saluted the*

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

At three o'clock the Royal yacht came to anchor
in our roads, and in half an hour after his Vtugsri
landed from a pilot-boat in the harbour, and ware,
ceived by the Mayor, Prefect, Monsieur le Maga
JUMILLAC, le Duc de BIANCAS, and le Duc deli
CHARTRES, who conducted his AJESTY to his Ca.
riage,which was waiting his arrival on theca,
near the column. The way was lined with troop
from the quay to Dessia's Hotel. A most numer
assemblage of people had met to greet his MAJesni
arrival, and received him with every demonstrafm
of joy, et aux cris de Vive It Roi I His Xingu
never appeared better, and seemed much plaid
'with the novelty of the scene, bowing graciously%
all around him. On his arrival at Dessin's, he food
the military and the corps de Pompiers assembki,
and the Band of the Regiment instantly struck 4
a GOD save the KING." A most sumptuous dinnu
was prepared at the Hotel. The Prefect, the Mm
quis de JumiLcAc, the Duke de BRANCA% and th
Duke de Camel-Ras, bad the honour of dining ail
his MAJESTY. At eight o'clock, he honoured us

This morning, at nine o'clock, his MAJESTY ietot
on his way to Lille, where it is expected he will anio
at eight o'clock to-night.

ANOTHER LETTER.

It was three o'clock before the Royal squadris
came to its moorings, and the water being thee*
low-water mark, some more time elapsed bean the
arrangements were completed for setting his %on
on laud. We had bad the ships in view for about two
hours before, an interval of time that was most kwlj
employed in making preparations at Calais five"
ceiving him. Almost up to the last moment there
seemed to prevail the greatest uncertainty at to his
destination. More than one false alarm of his eosin
was given in the course of Monday, and in the et.
ternoon of that day, when it was ascertained that the
Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord LONDOYDEBRY
gone on to St. Omer's, we took it for granted that
he was going to Ostend, and that they wereto Ott
'him at Brussels. The. Authorities here, the
evening, it seems, received another account, essi
acting upon it, sent the troops to 13oelogite• The'l
troops returned yesterday morning, very ouch hi
rased with the march. We gave over spetteLlui
after.the troops were sent on Monday evening;
some vreparations for his landing, which had be,_
making, . were discontinued. The arrival of WI
Duke of CMADTRES, however, early on Taeso
morning, set all agoing again. From that2tj
ment the preparations were resumed with tom'
'vigour. They received another stimulus by the"
rival of Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD with the Kiss
carriages, who came in the Venus steam•boat at tigs
o'clock-. Sir BENJAMIN, announced that his MAJssA
might be expected by two o'clock, and as we coo
hear the guns filing a salute from the English CO°
about nine, it was supposed th&t he was then getej
under way. His MAJESTY, however, as I alow
learned, did not get under way quite so soon.
..11
time meantime the whole town was in the gre7o
11:e people were CI o-x,...ing to the pick, la

the number of English seemed more than equal to
that of the French. Every second face you met was
an English one. 'the day was beautifully fine, and
a steady wind blowing from off the direction of Rams-
cams every eye was turned that way. At twelve, all
the ;reaps here, consisting of the 2d Regiment of
Line, commanded by the Duke of CERES, and the
National Guard of Calais. were drawn out. A Guard
ni• Honour was placed at Dessin's Hotel ; the main
body marched, with their colours flying and band
niasing, to orroPY the pier opposite the place where,
'an gyro was expected to land, and the remainder
of the troops were stationed in the Grand Place.—
The joy bells were then set ringing, the standard of
'France was !misled from the Porte Neuve, and every
vessel in the haDour displayed her flag. A few mi-
nute-guns were fired front the citadel.
All this time the Royal Squadron was in view, but
it seemed to make rather slow progress. New ar-
rangements were adopted as it approached nearer
the harbour. The way from the pier to Dessin's
Hotel being covered with fine gravel, the troops were
so disposed as completely to line all the streets
through which his MAJESTY was to pass. The Duke
of CHARTRES, wearing several orders, but not dressed
in uniform, together with the Mayor of Calais, the
Commissary of Marine, and the General of the Divi-
sion, then went down to the water's edge to receive
him, and pay him their respects on his setting foot
on French soil. The Venus steam.boat, which had
conic in front Ramsgate in the morning, put eat to
sea with the British Consul on board. Everything
was disposed for his immediate reception, and the
moment of the squadron's coming to its moorings
was expected with great impatience. The wind had
chopped about a little, and the vessels seemed to ta-
bour a good deal before they let go their anchors.
His Maszsrv's ship came to outside the pier, lnon
after three o'clock, and in about a quarter of an hour
after, a small boat being lowered. he got into it, and
was towed along the pier by a party of English sea•
men, who gladly seized this opportunity of testifying
their attachment to their SOVEREIGN. He was a:-
companied by a host of Aides-de-Camp. and ap-
peared in the best health and spirit-. Etiquette re-
quired that the military honours should not be paid
him until he set his foot on French soil ; and his de•
scending from his barge into the boat was 'Imo• iced
by,any other circumstance than the acclamations
which burst from the multitude who witnessed it from
the pier. His MAJESTY landed at the new flight of
steps which have been made opposite the c. harm of
Louts XVIII. and was there received by the Duke
of CHARTRES and the Mayor and Authorities of Ca-
lais. That moment the band struck up " GOD save
the King," the bells were again set pealing, the guns
fired a salute, and the people on the pier made the
air ring with acclamations. As the Kiwo ascended
the steps, his cap was blown off by the wind, and a
Frenchman who picked it up had the honour of pre-
senting it to him. His MAJESTY rewarded him li-
berally. The KING was dressed in a blue flock coat,
black neckcloth, and travelling cap. He wore the
star of some foreign Order. His MAJESTY is in the
best health imaginable, and the firmness and ac-
tivity with which he got out of his boat was a theme
of general admiration. Upon arriving on the pier, a
close carriage of the Duke of CHARTRES was in wait-
ing, and his MAJESTY got into it. The Duke of
CNARTRES, Sir GEORGE Hoot), and Sir B. BLOOM-
FIELD, were in the carriage with his MAJESTY.—
His Aide-de-Camp rode on the outside. A Pro-
• cession was then formed, headed by the Mayor
and Authorities of Calais, and his MAJESTY passed
between the files of military from the pier through
the Porte Neuve, Rue de Havre, La Grande Place,
and Rue Royale, to Dessin's Hotel, where the stand-
ard of England was flying from the balcony. The
shouts which accompanied his progress convinced
him that in a strange land he had still many well-
wishers. It ought to be observed, that the bells
played " Gun save the King." His MAJESTY dined
at Dessin's, and in the evening went to the Theatre.
le GOD save the King" was played thrice during the
performance, 'with " Henri Quaint" and " Patrick's
Doe A guard of honour remain outside Dessin's,
which was last night illuminated. His MAJESTY
was loudly cheered on his way from the Theatre.
He departs this day for Lisle. Prince ESTERHALT,
'who arrived before him, yesterday took the toad to
Paris.

DOVER, SEPTEMBER Et.
The steam-boat that accompanied the Royal yacht
Li some accident ran foul of it, and injured the barge
that was to have landed his MmasitY. One of the
French pilot-boats was in consequence immediately
manned, and had the honour of carrying him on
shore. The water was so low, it was food necessary
so lighten her by throwing the ballast overboard, to
esable her to pass the bar. The Duke de la CUAIt;
tint and Count JVMILLAC, the Governor of the
Department, were sent to meet him, at the water
side. They sat down thirteen to dinner, including
the Commanding Officer of the Legion, whom he
invited. The whole guard dined at his MaJawrw's
expense, and 600 bottles of wine were drank. After
diaper he went to the Play, where we saw him, look-
ing particularly well and pleased. He was received
with great applause, and his affability and good
French delighted all around Mm. This morning,
about eight, he left Calais in a travelling carriage, in
which were Lord CONENGIIAM and Sir WILLIAM
le:mirror:, followed by another with Lord F. Co-
IMO Ant and Sir EDMUND NAGLE. A third, with
Krauts, and a caravan for baggage, composed his
suite. The women, old and young, were all en-
chanted with his manner, which is so very peculiar,
that wherever he goes the same feelings must be
excited. He proceeds to Lisle, and from thence to
Brussels.
