CRONSTADT, JULY 17.

The withdrawing of Ypsilanti from Wallachia,
chiefly caused by the desertion and treachery of far
the greater part of the Albanese and Wallachians,
who composed his army, but, in all probability, not
wholly produced by this cause, is, indeed, a severe
and destructive blow to the enterprize in Moldavia
and Wallachia; but it would be a great mistake to
believe that the affairs on the Danube are wholly
concluded. Of Ypsilanti's whole corps, which con-
sisted of 20,000 men, hardly 1,000 have been killed
or severely wounded in the several actions, which
have destroyed in proportion an immense number of
the enemy. Another thousand, perhaps, may have
fled' into the Austrian territory. The rest of the army
still exists, scattered, indeed, in different parts. A
person who does not know the nature of the events,
or the character of the contending parties in that
country, may imagine the affairs to be at an end.
The Turks have done nothing great or decisive: the
insurrection still subsists, in a different form. In
Little Wallachia the Insurgents have almost all the
fortified convents in their hands. Prardan, a Ser-
vian ; Captain Diananteo, and other Chiefs, gave the
Turks a severe defeat some days ago. The Captains
Georgales, Olympites, and Pharmakes, have occu-
pied, with a considet able force, the mountain position
near Buseo. Tarva, with nearly 1,200 formidable
warriors, is in the mountains near this frontier. Ile
is a native of Palmos, well versed in the Turkish
mode of making war; a man of great understanding,
but deserving of malediction, because, fur trifling
petty reasons, he betrayed his country and his faith

in the most decisive manner ; but as he is known to
be a man of great ability, lie was also much feared
by the Tui ks. He knows Very well that if he fell
into their hands his reward would be beheading or

impaling alive. He seemed, therefore, to feel some
remorse, and in the end will probably be obliged to
turn his arm against the cruel enemies of Christia-
nity. If he does, be will do the Turks much injury,
and find them plenty of employment. From all this,
it may be inferred that the insurrection in Moldavia
ansi Wallachia exists nearly in its former extent, and
will long continue so. But if the proposed result of
the transactions on the Danube should not be at-
tained, yet the real object of occupying a large hos.
tile force will be fully accomplished. In the mean
time, the situation of these two principalities is truly
deplorable.
The following is an extract of a letter, dated
" MADRID, ACCUST 10.
" We have enjoyed for some time tolerable tran-
quillity, even our Provinces seemed to be assured of
a repose which they had not enjoyed since the esta-
blishment of the Constitutional regime, but they begin
again to be troubled by numerous bands, which under
the name of Partizans, traverse and desolate them,
and spread terror everywhere. Even Gallicia, which
of all the Provinces had suffered the least, is now the
focus from which are diffused terrible elements of
anarchy and disorder. The Government in vain
exerts all its efforts to reach the root of the evil.
" The environs of Madrid were always rather un-
safe ; but the evil is now at its height, and one can•
not go a league from the capital without danger of
being robbed, or even assassinated. A post-chaise
was lately attacked by several armed men, at Alcon-
dendas, five leagues from Madrid : they killed the
postillion with a musket-shot, and robbed and ill-
seated the travellers. Many persons who have been
robbed think the object is less to take money than to
spread terror; and it is affirmed, that the disorders
which they commit are part of an organized system.
" A merchantman from Rio, arrived at Oporto, has
brought alarming news. The Government of Rio is
said to be changed into a Junta, with the Bishop of
Rio for its President."

The remains of her late MAJESTY have reached
Cuxhaven. Early on Sunday morning last the fu-
neral squadron, consisting of his 97ajesty's ship GLAS-
GOW, with the Royal corpse on board, accompanied
by the TYNE, the ROSARIO, the Viva, and the GAN-
NETT, appeared off that port. They had not been
brought to an anchor when the Mail left Cuxhaven ;
but as the wind was then blowing from the eastward,
it was supposed that it would be necessary to moor
the vessels, and that some days might elapse before
the fleet, on account of the prevalence of easterly
winds, could proceed up the Elbe as far as Stack,
the place fixed upon for the disembarkation.

HIS MAJESTY'S VISIT TO IRELAND.

FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.
DUBLIN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 21.
I but very faintly described to you, in my letter of
yesterday, the mob-like confusion that prevailed at
the Levee—the lost shoes, buckles, stars, sword-hilts,
&c. were displayed to-day in an apartment of the
Castle, to be owned. To prevent the like pressure,
and, I may add, presumption, at the Drawing-room
this evening, a notice has been issued froth the Castle,
printed, and placarded in the principal streets, tb
the following effect :
" It is requested, in order to prevent the inevitable incon-
venience which his Kiss:vry would suffer, that those Gentlemen
who attended the Levee yesterday, will not attend the Drawing-
room this evening, unless such as shall find it absolutely neces-
sary to accompany the females of their families."
I have been well assured that the number of per-
sons at the Levee did not fall short of 2,000! and
when this is considered, it is not at all to be wondered
at that the confusion should be great, and that many I
ludicrous incidents should have occurred—wigs, bags,
and all flew about. Lord NORBUIIY, one of the
finest, wittiest, and best-humoured old men' in his
MAJESTY'S dominions, was so pressed upon going
up the, grand stair-case, that he would have fallen
but for the general solicitude and kindness felt for
him ; having recovered himself by the assistance of
those about him, he addressed the Lord Chancellor,
who was near him—" My Lord Chancellor, we have
tried many hard cases, but, you will allow, that this
stair-case is the hardest of all !" I cannot refrain
from quoting another of his Lordship's puns, appli-
cable to the present moment : previous to his MA..
JESTY'S arrival, the streets through which he was
expected to pass were newly paved and repaired ; a
Gentleman mentioning this approvingly in conversa-
tion with Lord NORDURY, his Lordship observed,
" that Dublin, just now, was not only the best paved,
but the best flagged city in Europe ;" alluding to the
display of fogs, or banners, almost from every win-
dow, in honour of his MAJESTY.
There never was a more strong determination dis-
played, than by the KING, to win the affections of
his Irish subjects : the number was so great at the
Levee, not less•than 2000, as I have already men-
tioned, that his MAJESTY was advised to abridge the
ceremonial, and walk through the remainder, gra-
ciously noticing them as he passed ; but this he de-
clined, avowing that were he obliged to remain until
he dropt down with exhaustion, no man in his Irish
Levee should have to say that he turned his back
upon him. In like manner it was universally ob-
served, that the action of putting out his hand to be
kissed, which in another would have been tame and
monotonous, was executed with a still varying grace,
and never hastily or impatiently withdrawn. A
Prince so beloved, particularly in this branch of his
Empire, must have expected to meet numerous in-
stances of an enthusiastic expression of devotion, and
he was not disappointed.
Yesterday, when Dr. PERCIVAL, our oldest and
most celebrated Physician, kissed hands, his enthu-
siasm possessed him entirely. He took his MAJESTY'S
hand between both his, and grasping it almost con-
vulsively, and his eyes, peculiarly fine, which age
cannot dim, sparkling all the fire of loyalty, he ex-
claimed, " GOD in heaven bless your MAJESTY, and
grant you long, long life, to bless your People !"
The KING, with respondent feeling, heartily shook the
old man's hands, saying," I thank you! I heartily thank
you, my good Dr. PERCIVAL!" These insulated
traits are delightful, and mark the correspondent feel-
ings of the SOVEREIGN and his People more than
could any general view or description of the scene.
Workmen were employed to-day in the Upper
Castle-yard, to make a platform and covered way
into the Council Chamber, for those under the rank
of Peers, to proceed by the suite of apartments in
communication to the Drawing-room—the Pee:age
only to enter by the grand portico and stair-case.
This will certainly prevent great confusion, and, if
well managed, give to rank its proper place and
accommodation.
His MAJESTY goes to the Theatre to-morrow
evening, and I am sure you will feel pleasure in
hearing that the Royal command embraced the pro-
ductions of SHERIDAN, for the evening—the Duenna,
and the Farce of St. Patrick's Day. This is more
than good tact—it is most excellent feeling. I tell
you, my friend, that John Bull does not kdow his
KlNG—if he did, he would adore him. There is in
this short visit, more of the electrical communications
of heart between us and our KING, than your cold,
deliberate, plodding nation could ever know. Don't
be angry with me—for, confound me, if from one
end of the Island of Saints to the other, there is the
slightest disposition to be cranky, or if, by any Chance,
a man were to knock another down, it would he " for
love, all for love," as described in the admirable song
of Donnybrook Fair.—l write, I will admit, in the in-'
toxication of public feeling, but, remember that it is
the public feeling, and I pledge myself that I report
it truly.

INVESTITURE OF KNIGHTHOOD.
Monday, previous to the Levee, his MAJESTi held
an investiture of the Order of St. Patrick, which was at-
tended by his Grace the LORD PRIMATE and several
Officers belonging to the Order. The following No-
blemen were introduced, when each received the ho-
nour of Knighthood, and were invested with the in-
, signia of the Order:—Lord GREAVES, as Proxy for
his Royal Highness the Duke of Cuustutt..ttio, who

was introduced between the two senior Knights, the
Marquis of CONYNOIIAM and the Earl O'Nrit.L. n.

Towx, and FINGAL, were subsequently introduce,'
between the two junior Knights, Sir Wm. BETNAN,
Ulster King of Arms, bearing the ribbon and badge
oa a blue velvet cushion.

His MAJESTY was pleased to notice Lord FISCAL
in the most condescending and affable manner, eel
was pleased to express himself in very flattering teia,
respecting his Lordship.
His MAJESTY afterwards held an investiture of the
most Honourable Order of the Bath, when Admiral
the Hon. THOMAS PAKENISAM, K.C.B. received tt.
honour of Knighthood, and was invested with tLe
Ribbon and Badge of that most Honourable Order
and Sir Jonw ELLEY, K.C.B. on his attaining the.
rank of Major-General, received from his Msiesly
the Star of that degree of the most llonotirableOrtlcT,

ciated for Sir GEORGE NAYLER on this oteasim

Immediately after the Addresses had been received,
his Excellency the LORD LIEMENA NT introduced
the Officers of the Order of St. Patrick, and his E..
cellency's Household, to his MAJESTY, who Lad se.
•erally the honour of kissing hands.

On the day of his MAJESTY'S entry, a Dri,yoal,
pressing on the people at the Circular-read, near
Eccles-street, a Nobleman of high distinctio:,,
his carriage, reprimanded him, severely, stating did
" the king would be very angry if he had seen de
humblest of his people ill-used;" and ordeled ;lint
to forthwith desist.

The Limerick Chronicle details a sanguinary em.
gagement which took place on Wednesday, the 15th
August, at Inchirouke, near Askheaton, between up.
wards of two hundred misguided people, who '434
turned out to prevent the collection of some tythes,
and a party of police, under the command of 'No.
MM DOOLAN, Esq. One of the police was shot dead,
three of the rioters killed, and a great many more
badly wounded.
