His Majesty arrived at Leith Roads on Wednesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, j The Caltonhill was, at early hour, crowded with anxious spectators: but | the morning being hazy, it was nine \ o’clock before the squadron was! ■ descried. The greatest bustle then j . took place hi the northern metropolis; i • and all the public bodies began to I r make arrangements to meet their | ; sovereign. At eleven, the haze clear ! ed away, and the royal yacht war; . observed coming up the Forth, towed ! ] by die James Watt and Comet steam-1 ships. The ships of the royal | squadron, among which was a frigate j and a sloop of war, kept firing salutes, which were answered by the flag j i ships. About hall-past one, the royal I yacht passed Leith, in fine style; and j at two, anchored in the roads, when a ! salute was fired from the battery.— 1 he adjacent hills and shores crowd ed with people, who repeatedly cheered and welcomed the royal visi tor. Crowds of individuals, some on horseback, others in splendid equip age’, and others on foot, rushed to the place of disembarkation to join theprocession; but a heavy rain came on, and as there was no appearance that the weather would soon clear up, his Majesty determined to remain on board till next forenoon. Until a late hour steam-bouts were constantly plying round the royal yacht, with • well dressed passengers, Mho cheered as they passed. His Majesty, at different times, appeared upon deck, and graciously bowed in return for those gratulations, (>n this day also, Sir W. Scott went on board the royal yacht, and conveyed to his Majesty the silver cross, as a tribute from die ladies of Edinburgh. His Majesty "as highly gratified by this mark of affection, apd expressed his intention of wearing it in public. In the eve ning a bonfire was kindled on Ar thur’s seat. Thursday bring appointed for the landing, early in the morning the whole population began to pour out of their houses, ami arrange them selves along the line of his Ma jesty’s route. All wore sprigs of heather in their hats, or crosses or favors on their breasts. At twelve precisely, the King loft his yacht in his barge, and the forts proclaimed the circum stance by the thunder of their sa lutes. The shouts of tin; people be came louder as his Majesty approach ed the harbor. The t)uke of Dorset, the Earl of Fife, the Marquis of Lothi an, Sir 1 homas Bradford, mul many other noblemen, together with the presidents of the supreme courts, received bis Majesty at the landing platform.—The moment his Majesty set his toot on Scottish soil Sir Tho mas knelt, and made a low obseis* unee, and the other noblemen made suitable reverences. v His Majesty then uncovered, am! was met by Mr. i Feel, The senior magistrate of ] Leith congratulated his Majesty on - his arrival, and was received most ; graciously.—His Majesty was dies- , sod in a rich naval uniform, with a sprig of the thistle and the heather iu his liat. The path to the carriage was strewed a itli flowers, in the car ri igo he was accompanied by the Duke of Dorset and .'nr C. Bagel. The King appeared to be greatly af fected with the cheeis of die myriads of spectators around the quay. The cavalcade then moved forward, and fell in with the procession. [The papers here supply lung details of! the splendid gutbs of the different officers ol state, the bands of milita ry. Highland clans and corps, &c.J Ihe King was guarded by the royal < company of archers. “ The royal • cavalcade (says the Scotsman) pro- ■ cecded at a loot pace along the whole < route, so that cveiy person sufficient ly near hud time to take a deliberate i view. It was slowly and well ar- i ranged, and derived a picturesque ] character from the variety and splcn- I dor of the ancient and modern cos- 1 tunics, arms and habiliments display- ( c.l. The poorest part, in point of i cifeot, was that of the coaches, many 1 ot which had no pretensions to ele- t gance ; and the gentlemen with blue t coats and white wands, whose dress |} and appearance was too civic am! so- i j ber to consort well with tlie rest of 1 the pageant. The parties of High- t landers, in their ancient garb and ar- ( mour, had a pleasing effect; but too . much has been done to give a High- 1 land complexion to the whole of the ' exhibitions connected with the Roy- 1 al visit, as if nothing were Scottish ' but v. hat is Highland, ills Maies- t ty, who seemed to enjoy the scene, 1 repeatedly took off his hat and bow- i ed to the spectators. His complex- r ion was rather more sallow than we r expected, and his physiognomy, t though but slightly touched with the r characters of age, seemed to us less t youthful than it is generally repre- 1 scnted in engravings.” ( When the procession had gone a . short way up Leith Walk, the Usher | of the White Hod, supported by 1 [ Marchmont and Islay Heralds, pre- i j ceded by trumpeters, rode on to the i I barrier, and after three flourishes of ; ! trumpets, Marchmont here summon- < jrd the city, by giving three knocks at I j the barrier, when the Chamberlain ■ I desired to know his commands.— I The herald replied, that his mostgra | cions Majesty King George IV. had j landed on a visit to Scotland, was j approaching, and he was warranted j I to demand an entrance for the King! I into the ancient city of Edinburg.—! 1 Thu Chamberlain having conveyed j i the summons to the Lord Provost,! ! the g:Ue was by this authority open-j j ed, when they advanced to the Lord j j Provost, and Marchmont Herald pro- I s mod himself before the Lord Pro- [ j vost, and said, “ My Lord, I have: | the honor of announcing to your' | Lordship, (lie very near approach of jof our most gracious sovereign the j King, to visit his most loyal and an | cient capital of Scotland; and I am 1 commanded to request admittance to i the city for himself and.retinue. The! j Lord Provost expressed his readiness 1 to comply with the demand, and - immediately ordered the gates to be, I thrown open to admit the King.— The procession soon after came up g and entered the city. When the'; carriage of tie King entered within i the barrier, the whole procession, halted, and the Magistrates being in 1 ; waiting on the south side of the street, I approached (lie royal carriage, the i door of which was thrown open, and' i the King stood up to receive them.— j I Having advanced with three rever-h ences, the Lord Provost made a short ■ i speech of congratulation, and kneel-1i ing, presented the ancient sih keys' < of the city. His Majesty was gra- i ciously pleased to make a suitable I reply, and re-delivered die k«ys to I the Lord Provost, who with the Ma-j 1 gist rates, retired to their carriages, ( and took their places in the proces-'i sion, which (hen moved forward to 1 1 Holyrorulhouse. The King was re-j I ccivcdaf Holyroodhouse by the Duke! i of Hamilton, keeper of the Palace,'; who had the honor to kiss hands.—; 1 Many of the nobility had the honor [i of being particularly noticed. Im-ji mediately on his Majesty being seat-, i c l on his throne, the Knight Maris-; I chall and his two Esquires, bearing It the regalia (who were ready at the I lower end of the room) advanced to-' i wards the tin one, making three re-is verences; first, at the place where!] they Were stationed; secondly, at the! ■ middle of the room; and, thirdly, at i the foot of the throne. The Knight i Marischall then (on his knee)!’ presented the crown ; and the j i Deputy Lord Lion of Scotland, l in obedience to his Majesty’s com- i mand, summoned, the Duke of ( Hamilton to receive it (on his knee); i from the Knight Marischall, and he: j immediately took his station on (lie 1 1 right hand of the King. The Knight | Marischall then received from his I Esquire the sceptre and presented in < like manner as the crown. The'i Deputy Lord Lion then summoned I Lord Francis Levison Gower, as the \ representative of the Earl of Suffice-! t land who on his knee received the sceptre from the Knight Marischall, and took his station on the left hand of the King. The sword of state, t was in like manner, presented and ( delivered to the Earl of Errol, who , took his station on the right hand of " the Kang. The Knight Mariscallj! then had the honor to kiss the king's hand, and retired with his two Es- j quires, making three reverences, to ( the lower end of the room. , Immediately afterwards, the Duke ( of -A km;nose announced that the Lord Provost and magistrates of Edin- * burgh vvege in attendance, to present j an address. The Duke, by his Ma- j jesty’s command, introduced the , Lord Provost and magistrates and * council, who advanced with three re- f verences, to the foot of the thrope, s when the address was read by Mr. Crichton, the senior City-clerk. * The King made a suitable reply ,in j which he expressed the very high s confidence he always placed in the people of Scotland, and the pleasure ho had in coining among them; that ho would always continue to Irold the city of Edinburgh in the highest fa vour. 'I he Lord Provost had the s honour to kiss hands,and the Bailies, a the Dean of Guild, and Treasurer were severally introduced, and kissed hands. They then retired with their > reverences. The King then left the j throne, and several of the Judges of the Court of Session, Justiciary, and Commissary Court, and the Judge ? Admiral, who were in attendance, had the honour of being introduced. I he King proceeded by the regalia, borne by the respective Peers, to d whom they had been committed, then b then proceeded to the royal closet. - The bearers of regalia, having placed them on the table, retired with three reverences, ihe King then com manded the attendance of the Cap tain General and Council of the Roy al Company of Arches, to perform the service of delivering a pair ol barbed arrows, which is the reddendo contained in the charter by Queen Anne, in favour of the Royal Com pany, —Some time after, his Majesty left Holy rood-house in a close car riage, and proceeded by the private road to Dalkeith, where he arrived at half past three. The inhabitants of the town, collected in great num bers, and hailed his arrival with cheers. In the evening Dalkeith was illuminated. His Majesty had a select party to (line with him, con sisting of the great officers of the state, and some other distinguished | personages.— Mercury, ! The Breeches arid the Mail Bay. A curious occurrence took place ! some time since in Hertfordshire, a | bout twenty-five miles from London. | The keeper of one of the past-offices ! oil the great northern road, who was | in the habit of sleeping in a room so ■ much elevated above the road as to ! enable him to hand out of the window the post-bag to the guard of the mail, 1 had (one to bed at an early hour ac-1 cording to custom. —At half past! three o’clock in the morning he was j half awakened out of a heavy sleep by tho well known sound of the horn. He turned out of his bed mechani-i caliy, and handed out what he sup posed to be ills letter bag to the guard of the mail, who threw what he re ceived without looking very closely at it, into the receptable. The coach proceeded to town without delay, and the post-office keeper re sumed his sleep, in which lie indulged his wife, who rose at 5 o’clock, found it necessary to disturb him in conse quence of missing his breeches, which he was in the habit of keeping on a chair next to the bed, and in which the greater part of the receipts of the day were contained. His wig and other things were also missing. The first thing that suggested itself to both was that some thieves must have got in at the window, which they used, for the reason above stat ed, to leave unfastened during the night. The good woman however, upon looking under the bolster, found to the astonishment of both, the let ter hag which should have been within a few miles of London at the time The absence of the breeches was then fully accounted for. 'I lie owner 1 fancied that the only safe place in the! house was between the bolster and bed. On this occasion he had mis taken the letter bag, which, as well as his breeches, was made of leather, for his property, and placed it in the same spot. The guard, who, it ap pears, was satisfied with feeling, that what he had got was leather, took no notice of the extraordinary shape of the new letter bag, and was over whelmed with surprise at finding, upon his arrival in London, that the first thing he laid his hand upon in rummaging for the most valuable contents of the coach was a pair of old loth°r breeches containing an old pair of drwers, a pair of black wors ted stockings, a collar, a wig, and a pair of double sole shoee. lie had, however, scaicely examined this pre cious deposit, when a mssenger ar rived in breathless haste, from the Post < tffice keeper, with the bag, which the guard very willingly re eived in exchange for the breeches. Curious Typographical Error. The celebrated printer, Henri Et tiene, son of Robert, (both known in the learned world by the name of Stephanus,) once engaged in the printing of a splendid quarto Missal. The great number of subscibers seem ed likely to make ample compensation for the heavy expense required by the undertaking. After the sheets had been corrected with the utmost care, the work was printed off, splen didly bound, and delivered to the subscribers. It would be impossible to describe the astonishment of the learned printer, when one copy after another, was returned to him, till all were sent back.—Fie inquired the reason of this extraordinary circum stance, and was informed, that in one place the compositor had put let le pretre oterasa calotte: (Here the Priest will take of his breeches,) in stead of Calotte , (small black cap.) and the error escaped the correctors ot the press. In vain did the poor printer offer to make a cancel; the subscribers who were almost all eccle siastics, positively refused to take the work on any terms. This unfortun ate affair is said to have been the first and the chief cause of the de rangement which afterwards caused Henri Ettiene to be confined in the Lunatic Hospital at Lyons, where lie died in Ui9B. Th( ire is a copy at tho Missal with this unlucky error, in the Royal Library at Paris.

No. 2. , Among the several persons who 1 are aspiring to the Presidential chair, I there is none whoso partisans are t making greater exertions, to secure t for him the interest and support of r the southern country', than those of Mr. Crawford. This gentleman has long had his eye upon the presiden cy, and although it has been asserted by his friends, that an effort on his part would have placed him in the ' executive chair instead of Mr. Mon- . roe, and that he showed great forbear- 1* ance on that occasion, yet 1 believe * it would be very difficult to make any man who knows much of the character of Mr. Crawford believe a that assertion. Y A man whose whole life has been " one continued struggle for superiority, a would not so easily forget his ruling! a passion as to quietly step aside and J. 1 let another man mount above him if . he could prevent it. lr This assertion, made with so much : confidence, but without any proof, 11 however, may be very convenient to ~ be used by his friends, as some pal* j a liation for his conduct towards our 11 present illustrious chief magistrate, who bestowed on him so distinguish- , ed a place in his cabinet. a It would indeed appear to be a sin al of not quite so deep a dye in Mr. Crawford to unite himself with the enemies of Mr. Monroe’s adminis tration, and endeavor, through the medium of his agents, to destroy all m confidence in the executive while he Ji himself held a place in his cabinet as w one of his Confidential advisers, if he rc :ould indisputably make it appear .hat it was only by his forbearance that Mr. Monroe became President it ah. In the absence however of the proof of this fact we must be al lowed to view Mr. Crawford’s con duct in rather a more reprehensible light. The charge of caballing with the enemies of the administration, s o s which he himself is a member) to impede the operation of the govern ment, has been long since made u gainst Mr. Crawford and has not been denied either by himself or hi s friends. Indeed, how is it possible that they should deny it. when botk he and his friends are daily gi v i, lg currency to it themselves: his friends, by their fixed opposition to every act of the executive govern ment that emanates Irom any other department of the government but the treasury, and himself, by counten ancing that opposition and by bold ing private interviews and friendly correspondence with men whose worst passions are excited against the executive, in consequence of having been dismissed from subordinate offices in the government for notori ously corrupt practices. Magnanimity did not require of Mr. Crawford to sacrifice his inde pendence and survilely comply with the opinion of Mr. Monroe, and those of his confidential advisers to whom he gave his ear; but it did re quire that before he openly dissented from the policy of the administration he should have ceased to be a mem ber of it. Mr. Jefferson had fairly marked out the course which Mr. Crawford should have pursued when he found it no longer possible for him to act cordially with Mr. Monroe and his cabinet, and it may be safely averred that no act of Mr. Jefferson’s life gained him so deservedly the confi dence of his fellow-citizens as his re tiring from an administration, at the head of which was the father of his country, because he could not consci entiously unite with that administra tion in opinion. This course, so full of dignity and so well fitted to the character of the man who is aspiring to be the first citizen in this great republic, has not been pursued by Mr. Crawford. He probably knew how much of his influence was owing to the distin guished situation in which he had been placed by the executive and was determined to use that influence to the best advantage to supplant his benefactor and his friend, in the hearts of their countrymen. 1 am aware that I am but reiterat ing a charge that has been heretofore made against this gentleman 5 bat it is one fliat cannot be too often and too strongly urged upon the conside ration of his fellow citizens, until all the clear, circumstantial proot, on which it rests for its support, is pro perly explained and the charge itself refuted by other and stronger testimo ny- - If this charge be true (and it has not yet been denied though often made, ) let me appeal to those who have enlisted themselves under the banners of Mr. Crawford to say what they can see of honor or propriety of conduct in tin* course which he is now pursuing. If he abuse so much the confidence placed in him by the executive, who has bestowed on h.m the means of acquiring a name and an influence, which in a private situation he never could have acquired, huff can they expect that his conduct tow ards them will not be marked with the same selfishness and ingratitude . J Whatever professions he may make, however obsequious may J*-’ his conduct, or however liberal may bo his promises, I would ask whe ther the suspicion can be allayed in their bosoms that he is a man who is rather to be dreaded than trusted?
