/ stated by he Cacdonian Mercury, to be from the
pen of Sir Walter Scott:
we arc enabled to announce from authority that
Charles of Bourbon the FIX King Of France, is about
TO repair Edinburgh, and to become more
fIlGw citizen, though PROBABLY only for limit
ed space, and he will again i1habit apar ments which
lie long ago occupied in Hollywood House. This
temporary arrangement, it is said, hos been made in
compliance with his request with which our
benevolen, Monarch immediately complied willing
to consult, III every respect possible the feelings Of
Prince under the pressure of msiortunes, which
are perhaps the more severe if incurred through
bad advice, error, rashness. Phe attendants Of

family should meet word OF look FROM the

his own subjects, we cannot but remember that he
did not in bis prosperity forget that Edingburgh had
