. . , . . 1 4t1 it is s tated that the 18th July the Govern& of Dilhda, with 500 men, left that 'place to make an at tack upon some patriots in the neighboUrhoodr'whim h e was repulsed with considerable losi. .-- In addition to the accounts from the Mediterraitean g iven in the STAR of yesterday, we have given . thit day some other letters from Gibraltar, Melaina, atc. By letters from Malta of the Ist 'ultimo, we loain that Mr. ADAIR arrived there lu the SALCETTE fll - on the 29th of July, froth Constantinople. He vqs honoured with an audience Of leiye by the Grand s e i tzn ior, a distinction which proves the high favour i n which he was held, as there is only 'one other in tance of his granting a second audience. The accounts brought by the SALCETTE were rather faVourable..— The alarm created by the successes of the Russians 2t the commencement of the campaign had subsided; and the r esolution of the Sultan to put himself at the Lead of his troops had etcited a spirit of enthusiasm, from which the greatest advantages were expected. The GANYNIEDE frigate sailed from Malta on the Ist of last month, with above 96 Sail of merchant ims sels under convoy for England. A Gentleman, who is just arrived from - Holland, asserts, in contradiction to the statements recently published, that the produce of the new impost of 50 per cent, will amount to thirty millions sterling. We are inclined to think this estimate, however, greatly exaggerated. Saturday being the anniversary of their MA:ESTIES' nuptials, there was a domestic fete in the Castle at I Windsor, at which were present the Prince of WALES, the Duke and Duchess of YORK, the Dukes of CLA RENCE, SUSSEX, KENT, and CAMBRIDGE, Princesses ELIZABETH, AUGUSTA, MARY, and SOPHIA. As his MAJESTY disinounted from taking his morn ing ride, Mr. SHERIDAN was introduced, and had the honour of an audience for a considerable time. The subject, tve understand, was concerning Drury-lane Theatre. Friday:;e'nnight Lord CAtrtEttiAnnpassed through Dumfries, on his way to Ireland, by Port Patrick. Sunday List the Deputies from the Caraccas had to interview with the Marquis WELLNSLEY ' at Apsley House, preparatory to their departure for South Arne rica. They pro. ceded yesterday to Portsmouth, in order to embark on board a British vessel of war. The Deputy from Buenos Ayres and General MI RANDA had afterwards interviews with the Noble Marquis, who, in the evening, prkeided to the sea coast, for the benefit of his health.

Our Readers are aware, that in the treaty 'concluded last season be tween thy : ganageisind the 0. P. Comniistee, it was stipulated and agreed to by the former, that the num ber of private boxes should be reduced to three on each side. They will also recoll e C t , t h a t 'o n the last night of the last season, Mr. Kemble came forward, and, for the reasons which he then 'stated, solicited from the public the favour of permitting the Mani gers to retain seven privite bores on each tide, in the same manner as in the former Theatre. This propo sition was certainly received with considerable ap plause by the audience then present ; and it seems that upon the understanding that the favour then so licited was granted, the Managers have subsequently made their arrangement. The boxes in front of what last seaso:i was the circle of private boxes, together with a very magnificent saloon attached to them, ha* been thrown open to the public. The side boxes of that circle remain private, in number pre cisely the same as in the former Theatre. This arrangement was brought to the test last night in a very full house, and was certainly very loudly objected to. The ominous sound of 0. P. was heard very early in the performance, and a noise was kept up, which rendered it impossible to hear connectedly the performance on the stage. I Soon after the close of the first act of The Beggar's Opera Mr. Kemple came forward: A combination of noises then burst forth, which it would be extremely difficult to describe. Those who %vett in anger could not he induced for some time to calm their rage, and those who were most anxious to hear him marred their own purpose by their loud calls for silence. At length however, there was an interval of tranquillity, and Mr. Kemble began, 66 Ladies and Gentlemen, when I had the honour of addressing myself to you on the last night of the late season—" Here there was an interruption, and some time again elapsed before he could be heard—" tfy. proposition which I then made in the name of the Proprietors for the arrangement of the interior of the theatre was received—" Here, as if anticipating, what he intended to say, the storm raged with redoubled fury. g , No, No," and 66 Yes, Yes," were reiterated by opposite panics ; and 4 , No Private Boxes" was loudly vociferated.

Should this contest continue, though no horns, rat tles, or placards are made use of, it will be impossible for any person to go to the Theatre with a view of enjoying the performance. The Proprietors will find, moreover, that the best apparatus for warming their Theatre, is the imbfif favour THE ARMY. A detachm e nt of the 20th Light Dragoons is going on a secret expedition under that able officer General WALKER, with whom Sir Home PoruAfa lately sailed. The Duke of RICHMOND'S fine regiment, Itlie 35th, is now nearly recovered from the effects of the Wal cheren fever, and is fast recruiting its number's at Chichester. We are sorry to hear, that the 82d regiment, com manded by Colonel GRANT, which is stationed at Gibraltar, continues still to lose many men and some Officers from the effects of the Walchcren fever. The Duke of BausswicK's Legion is embarking at Cork for Lisbon, and will make a considerable rein forcement to Lad WELLINGTON'S army. The battalion of the 60th, or Royal American Re. giment, which lately arrived a skeleton from the West Indies, has already got many recruits. The' head-quarters are at Sandown barracks in the Isle of Wight. Their Colonel, the Duke of YORK S oo . goes down to pay a visit to the regiment. He will be met by the Duke of GLouessTert. Lord CAvAN,I General Worru.tm, General TAYLOR, and a long train of Officers at the Isle of Wight. Various names are handed about in military circles as the successor to General NEWLY in the chief com mand of our armies in India. It is likewise reported that a successor to the Hon. General MAITLAND Willi at the same time go out for the chief command at Ceylon; and that the new Commanders will carry out with them a complete change of the Stalin Ben gal, Ceylon, and Madras.

Saturday morning, a youth, about 16 years of age, bathing in a piece of water at Mile-end, was seized with the cramp and drowned.

The driver was thrown with great violence against the ground at the feet of one of the gentlemen, who had just presence of mind to snatch away his son, a little boy of six years old, and, who must have been killed had the man fallen on him. The horse got entangled in the harness, and plunged so violently, as to excite consi derable alarm in the ladies near him, and who had not room to escape. The unfortunate driver was taken to an adjacent public-house, to await surgical assistance, but with little hopes of recovery ; and his female companions were very severely bruised and wounded by their fall, particulgly their faces, which were streaming with Wood. .Jging pper Do.— open with his fingers the wounds 14' ,• A party had possession of the centre of the Pit, who !
