Attain' up on the terrace lii mousy Sir
_ _ hmrse. As the day advanced the bustle in-
crease:4 and a meeting_ was beldi!.thi! Town Ha.II, at.
Whicifitit Address to his Majesty wanvores, and a re-
soldtion passed toreeomtnend, that the tdwu be illumi•
nated in the evening, His Majesty's yacht arrived iu
the forenoon, and was expected to reach the Pier in
the course of the Ow noon. A boarded path .way had
been erected from the Pier-House to where- the tide
reaches good, and from whence his Majesty proposes
to take the boat which will conireyiiiim to the Royal
George. The Venus steam boat was engaged to carry
his Majesty's carriages, and in case of a calm or an
adverse wind. to take his Majesty on board, and
convey him to Calais,' or any other port whiclican be
most conveniently made, Between five and six o'clock,
the time at which it was confidently stated his Ma-
jesty would reach Ramsgate, considerable disappoint-
ment was expressed, by the'coantenances as well as the
observations of the crowd that had collected to wit-
ness the King's arrival. Nothing occurred to alkyl,
ate the anxiety and lassitude of the disappointed
throng, till the illumination commenced, about seven
o'clock. Many honses were ornamented with rade--
gated lamps ; the Pier was lighted on both sides ;1
and Sir William Ca: is's yacht was so splendidly illu-
minated, that, as a wag observed, like its jolly owner's
•danntenance, it shone conspicuous above its rivals.
'the patience and good humour of the expecting crowd
continued to be tried till after viola o'clock, when his
Majesty passed through High-street and Queen-street,
to the residence of Sir Wm. Curtis. The King was
esearted by a party of the Lancers, who preceded, and
of the Isle of Thanet Yeomanry Cavalry, who followed
him. An accident occurred as the Royal carriage
turned the sharp angle at the Market-place, by which
one of the lamps was broken, and a gentleman
knocked down. On inquiry, however, .it was stated
that the gentleman sustained no serians injury. Some
of the cavalry, it is understood were unhorsed, owing
to the depth of sand in the streets, and the very great
speed with which they were obliged to travel. Had
his Majesty arrived before sun-set, a Royal salute
would have been fired from the Pier; but, according
to etiquette, under such circumstances, that tribute
was delayed till next morning. The Earl of Liver-
pool was all day in attendance at Sir Wm. Curtis's,
together with the Lord Chief Justice Dallas, Mr. Baron
Garrow, Sir Win. Curtis, and other Gentlemen of the
Deputation, who were in waiting to know when it
would be the Itoyal pleasure to receive the address
voted at the Town Hall.

RespecOng the place at whichhis Majesty will land
nnceriainty still prevails, and reports are at variance.
One account states that his Majesty will proceed up
the Scheid to Antwerp ; another that he w ill land at
Calais. It Las been lately rumoured that the King is
not expected to return until December. His medical
attendants and other persons in his Majesty's suite, it
is understood, entertain that opinion, and have niade ar-
rangements accordingly.
The royal yacht, and the other veiiels composing
his Majesty's escort, are all arrived. It is expected
his Majesty would embark at ten o'clock yesterday
morning.
Deaf., SEPT. 2-1 —The royal squadron arrived in the
Downs this morning from Portsmouth, and remain in
readiness for his Majesty's embarkation, which it is
colitidently.expected will'take place to-morrow morning
at ltamsgate. Pilots have been sent on board of each
of the ships composing the squadron from this place,
but it is at present unknown whether his Majesty will
proceed to Calais, Ostend, or Antwerp this will no
doubt depend upon the state of the wind and weather.
Should the weather prove favourable to-morrow, we ex-
pect to witness a very gay spectacle, as the Deal boat-
men will be afloat with their boats, and no doubt the as-
semblage of pleasure vessels from Dover, Ramsgate,
Margate, &c., will be considerable. The Royal sqaudron
consists of his Majesty's yacht the Royal George, Liffey,
Active, Hind, Camecion, Lee, and several cutters and
sinallers vessels.
DOVER, SEPT. 24.—The Duke of Wellington and Mar-
quess of Londonderry arrived this morning from Wal-
mer-eastle, and embarked on board the King George
packet for Calais: the guns from the heights battery
tired a salute, and the people on the pier cheered his
Grace and the Marquess on their leaving the port.
