\ ARQUIS OF LORNE. Safe Arrival of His Excellency and Princess Louise, HALIFAX EN FETE. The Duke of Edinburgh the First to Greet His Sister. A TEMPESTUOUS VOYAGE. Neptune's Tribute from the Viceregal Travellers. CABINS FILLED WITH WATER Programme of Ceremonies Planned for Monday. A BRILLIANT WELCOME. {BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Hauirax, N, S., Nov, 23, 1978, At last the long expected vessel, bearing the first royal princess of England who has ever ventured across the Atlantic Ocean, lias arrived at this far Eastern ontpost. At five o'clock the furthest signal station observer telegraphed to the citadel that he had just the two guns which the Samartian expected to fire, and had also sighted the rocket and Diue light which she sent up immediately after. ‘The announcement was made within a few minutes to the city, and forthwith the hotels and other places of this evening heard was public resort were filled with crowds, which rushed thither into the streets and tow- ard the wharves. The British war vessels which had returned this afternoon after a vain cruise in search of the Sarmatian in the storm, hoisted their flags, and steam launches were fired up and despatched toward the harbor's mouth. No pilot Doat, however, was in sight beyond the headlands, and the Sarmatian, having held out her invitation for one in vain for an hour, retreated to a safe dis- tance and wavered to and fro off the const. Her behavior deceived all watchers, and until half- past eight it was uncertain in Halifax whether she or the Baltimore, of the Dominion line, was thus cau- tiously approaching. In the meantime the edges of the harbor were thronged. Lights blazed from overy window. Torches burned from tho snubbing posts, Roman candles were. set off. All the tugs available made steam. A message from the citadel station apprised your correspondent at nine o'clock that the Sarmatian was then reapproach- img under charge of a pilot, and a hack, with horses at full speed, took him to the Cunard Wharf, where on the instant a steam yacht started out to mect the steamer. ALONGSIDE THE SARMATIAN. It was a beautiful evening, compared with the weather that has hitherto prevailed, and as the Sar- matian responded to the yacht’s colored signals the harbor seemed at once brilliantly lighted. The officers of the steamship were all at the gangway as we arrived, and almost at the same moment the steam laurch from Her Majesty’s ship, the Black Prince, bearing the Duke of Edinburgh, who bad come to welcome his sister, sped toward the ladder. His Royal Highness, to whom way was given, acknowl- edged the courtesy with a smile, and in a fow mo- ments afterward disappeared through the doorway ot the cabin, where his brother-in-law, the Marquis of Lorne, arose from his chair to welcome him and describe in brief one of the most unappetizing voy- ages ever taken across the Atlantic by persons whose stomachs are unaccustomed toa stormy sea. THE SARMATIAN AND HER APPOINTMENTS. ‘The Sarmatian, belonging to the Allan Royal Mail line, running regularly between Liverpool and Quebec in the summer and Liverpool, Halifax and Baltimore in the winter, was employed as a despatch boat during the Ashantee war by Her Majesty's government and acquitted herself in so sat- isfactory a manner that several offers have been mado for her purchase by the Admiralty, he is 300 fect long, 43 feet beam, bark rigged, and driven by double acting compound engines of 600- horse power, and is capable of steaming fourteen knots an hour in smooth water. She is favorably known as one of tho strongest sea boats sailing out of Liverpool. Her internal arrangements were only slightly altered in fitting her up for the Marquis of Lorne and the Princess Louise. ‘The saloon was divided fore and aft by a screen, the smaller compartment being set apart for the use of the servants a8 a mess room and the larger as a dining room for their Excellencies and suite. The ladies’ room was arranged as a boudoir for Her Royal Highness, and adjoining were the staterooms of Lord Lorne and the Princess. To make the latter apartments the bulkhead was removed and two ordi- nary staterooms were thrown into one. THE SWINGING BEDS, ‘Those were upholstered in royal bine and provided with Thompson's patent bed, constructed in such a manner that the bed adjusts itself to a level with the horizon at every motion of the ship. At least this is the theory of the contrivance, which, however, in of = the fall of the has not whose sakes consequence rise and ‘vessel, saved those for it was constructed from the usual inconveniences of the occan in November, silk damask, lincd with white silk, aud on the ma- bogany frame were It was canopied with blue two silver shields, bearing the arms of Her Royal Highness and the Marquis of Lorne. Two adjacent rooms were similarly furnished, except that the hangings were crimson. ‘They were occupied during the voyage by the ladies in waiting, one of whom with a melancholy smile in timated this evening her dislike of a stormy sea, Special bathrooms were provided, and nothing appears to have been left undone that could in any way mitigate the — diseom- fort of @ winter passage, Tho Sarmatian is commanded by Captain A.D.

A., Military Secretary; Captain V. Chater, Ninety-first Highlanders, and Lieutenant the Honorable C. 8. Harbord, of the Scots Guards, aides decamp; Dr. Andrew Clarke, Mr, Sidney Hall and a cherished Scotch companion named MeDonald, who ranks as Piper to His Excellency, special attendance upon the Princess Louise is Lady Sophia MacNamara, as Lady in Waiting. Accom- panying the Princess are also the Honorable Mrs. Moreton, Mrs, De Winton and Miss De Winton and thirty servants. The adieus which were said on the ,other side before the Sarmatian’s final departure are described as tender and affecting. After the Duke of Connaught and Prinee Leopold had retired helow with their sister, the Princess Lonise, traces of the farewell were painfully visible on the countenance of the latter when she reappeared on deck, This fact, together with the meeting to-night between the Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess, denotes the strong and touching affection which exists between the younger scions of the British royal family. In DFSCRIPTION OF THE VOYAGE, After the departure, an account of which was telegraphed to the Henarp a week ago, the engines of the Sarmatian were put at full speed and the ship was soon clear of the crowd of craft that had hovered around A moderate wind was blowing from north-northeast, and as she sailed out. into the channel the sky became overcast. She met sti? chopping seas, which did not seriously disturb the vessel, though it sent Her Royal Highness to her boudoir, where she spent the afternoon recovering from the fatigues of the morning and the previous night. Lord Lorne spent the afternoon on deck went to bed early, At Moville, the Sarmatian anchored in Lough Foyle, and there, during the day, they received the deputation, and spent the time already told yon in the HrnaLp' cable despatch of the 15th inst. At half-past six o’clock on Friday night the mails were taken on board, but as a very heavy gale was blowing, exactly as announced by the despatches from the HenaLp Weather Burean to London, it was determined not to go to #ea until the storm had some- what subsided, UPON THE STORMY MAIN. At half-past eleven the anchor was weighed and out the ship went to sea, Then came the trial of royal courage. Bereft of the protection of the land, the Sarmatian found a témpest of exceeding tury. A heavy cross sea was Tunning, which caused the ship to labor heavily. On the next day (Saturday) the sea was still heavy, driven by @ gale from the northeast, which placed everybody but the veterans on board temporarily under medical treatment, and con- signed both the Marquis and the Princess to the in- most recesses of their berths. The Princess suffered dveadfally, but bore her illness with patience and About four P. M. on Saturday her, and Treland, good nature. the gale began to abate, though the sea was still high and the ship’s motion scarcely less disagreeable. Sundsy saw but little less stormy weather. The wind, north northeast, blew fearfully at times, and the sea took the vessel on her beam. The pext morning broke bright and fair, with small areas of light winds on the water, which became less restless, and lapsed into long, lazy swells. HIS EXCELLENCY AT DIVINE SERVICE. Divine service was held in the saloon at half-past ten A. M., the ship's surgeon reading the prayers, Lord Lorne appeared, looking somewhat the worse for wind and weather, and the Princess did not appear all. Monday another bad day, a breeze tho gradually hauled to the westward, increasing to a terrific gale, thought by the officers of the ship to be the other side of the storm which reached the Irish coast on the 14th inst. The glass suddenly fell to 28.10 and the temperature was at one time up to 53 degrees Fahrenheit. The tempest grew with such rapidity that the sails were blown to ribbons before they conld be taken in angi the decks were swept by sea after sea with frightful violence, The port side of the smoking room was crushed in by ‘“‘a twenty- ton billow,” that and the ad- joining ladies’ cabin were flooded with water.

The motion was so violent that it was found necessary to confine the patent beds in the Royal staterooms, as there was not sufficient epace to allow them free motion. ‘The Princess suffered exceedingly all through this. day, and was only able to leave her room for a short timo while her bed was being ar- The Marquis came on d ranged. after the storm had lessened, and braced himself and watched the BCAAs, “I think,” said he, “that this is the best place for discipline.” COMING ON DECK. ‘Tuesday was fine.

THE LOG OF THE SARMATIAN-—THE DISTANCE MADE EACH DAY—THE PROCESSION AND AR- RANGEMENTS FOR TO-MORROW, HAtrrax, Nov. 23, 1878. The steamer Sarmatian, having on board the Vice- regal party, was signalled at twenty minutes to seven P. M., during very thick weather. A steamtug went down the harbor to meet her, and after some time returned, reporting that the signal must have been an error, as the steamer could not befound. The sig- nals remained np, however, and at about nine o'clock | two guns were heard, confirming the report | of the steamer’s approach. The weather was | still thick. ‘The tug again went down, when the weather cleared and the Sarmatian was found coming to anchor between. McNab's and George’s islands.

Loxpon, Nov. 10, 1878, By Lady Ann Douglas, danghtor of the Earl of Mor- ton, Archibald, the fourth Earl of Argyll, had ason and successor, Archibald, who was born in 1598, Educated in the profession of the Protestant religion, ing to the cord. strictest rules of the Church of Scotland, established on the Reformation, he was steadily de- voted theret« d the care of the West Country, and more especially of the Protestant interest therein, de- volved in a great measure, after his father went abroad, upon him, then Lord Lorne—the constant title of the apparent heirs of the family. His great abilities and prudent conduct called him, in 1626, at the age of twenty-eight, to the high office of a privy couneillor to King Charles I. Not tainted with tho predominant vice of those times—that of aggrandiz- ing himself at the expense of his neighbors or of the Crown—he surrendered to the anno 51628, the office of Jnstice General of Seotland, which was hereditary in his family, reserving to himself and his heirs the Justiciary of Argyll and the Western Isles, and whorever else he had lands in Scotland, as contirmed by act of Parliament. FROM EARL TO MARQUIS. His Mejesty, perfectly satisfied with his candor and loyalty, created him Marquis of Argy!l, anno 1641, Yet his conduct at this very time has been severely censured by those not in the secret and un- acqnainted that the measures he took were not only most for the King’s serv but had also Mis Majesty's approbation. ‘The dissent by himself and his friends the succeeding year from a majority ‘of Parliament on the vote in favor of the Duke of Hamilton’s leading an army into England for the relict of the King incurred equal censure from the same ignorance of his King, havi in his own breast the decision of the Duke of Rie’ ‘land the Marquis of Hereford, that if Scot- jand, part with the King the English would rise as one againsz him. On the defeat of Duke Hamil- tonand@ his army Scotland was left entirely in the power of the Marquis of Argyll and his friends, who proveated Cromwell from making an absolute con- quest of it and gave a striking mark of their real sen- timents and principles by declaring against the pro- ceedings of England as arbltcary, injust and illegal, and, on the first iotice of the King’s murder, pro- claiming his son and employing all their influence to procure his being invited into Scotland—facts and cir- enmatances which sufficiently refute the groundless pe baad Cael x gi communicated to is design against the King’s life and that it had’ been approved of by him.” . ‘THE PROMISES OF A PRINCE. The full persuasion which His Majesty had of the contrary is clearly evinced from_ the following letter, given of his own accord to the Marquis:— Having taken into my consideration the faithfal endeay- ors of the Marquis of Argyll for recovering me into tay just rights and the ing of my dominions Tam desir- aus to lot the world see how sensible Tam of his real re. spect to me by some particular marks of my favor to him by which they may see the trust and confidence which [ ro- pose in him, and particularly Td Twill make him Duke of Argyil and Knight of the Garter and one of the gentlemen of my bedchamber, and this to be performed when he shall think {t fit; and Ldo furthor promise him to hhoarken to Rigconnctls. and whenever it shall please (od © restore me to my just rights in England all see paid the £40,000 sterling which is due to hin, CUARLES R. TREASON, Briton the restoration, in 1660, the Marquis waa ac- cused of a multitude of crimos by his capital enemy, Vae Earl of Middleton, who was sent purposely on his trial as Lord Commissioner to the Parliament of Scot- land, in February, 1661, But notwithstanding the keenest and fullest investigation to blacken his char- acter and-convict him the only species of treason that could at last be fixed upon fo affect him was that common ¢o all his judges—the submitting to and own- ing the government established in Scotland during the triumph and usurpation of Cromwell. SENTENCED TO DEATH AND DEGRADATION, Sentence was therefore pronounced on Saturday, the 25th May, 1661, “that he should be beheaded on Monday following at the Cross of Edinburgh, his | head “set up where one Marquis of Mon- trose’s formerly stood and his coat of arms torn before the Parliament and at the cross.” The sentence having been announced in his presence by sound of trumpet, he behaved with yreat firm- ness and gonstancy, as well as calmness and dignity, by raistng his eyes to heaven and addressing bis judge, THE MAC CATLEAN MOR'S DYING sPrecH. “Thad the honor to set the crown upon the King’s head, and now he hastens me to a better crown than his own.
