All the regiments. of Dragoons are to be aug mented ten men per troop ; and the six light re giments ordered to the 'Netherlands, are to have an establishment of ten troops each, as they stood previous to the late reduction, • The 16th Dragoons, now quartered at Houns low, are under orders for embarkation, and will march to the coast for that purpose, as soon as tr,lnsports can b e got ready for their accommoda tion. The transports now employed in the con veyance of troops to Belgium are to return imme diately,i-for the purpose of taking over fresh ship ments. The 2d battalion of the 27th regiment march ed into Gosport Barracks, from Hilsea, on Thurs day, to take the garrison duty, instead of the 23d regiment. The Officers serving with the late 2(1 battaliob of the 31st regiment at the time of its rednction, have voted a silver cup to their Commanding Of ficer, Lieutenant-0)16nel Sir ALEX. KEITH. Government yesterday received dispat - Thes, stat ing that L or d F ITzRoY SOMERSET had left Paris, and had arrived at Calais. An 'opinion prevails that he is charged with an overture from BUONA ARTE. Private letters from Bengal, receiVed yester ay, state, that Earl MoIRA had - commanded an trmy to take the field against 'the Myatt] Coun try, that the Bth dra;.7ons, 1461, 53d, and 67th British regiments, under Major--• General WOOD, were employed on this occasion. • Advices from the Peninsula lead us to conclude that the Portuguese ships of War which are fitting out at Rio, are to convey"to E urope the two daughterS of• the Infanta of Portugal, who have been (Imam:eft in marriage by FERDINAND anti his brother, Don CAaLos of Spain. By the Lady Louisa packet,' from Rio Janeiro, there are letters from thence and .from Buenos Ayres to the 26th January. At the Rivet' Plate there had - been no movement ; the intention of General ARTIGAS (who had 4000 cavalry) to sup port the Royal Party was perfectly ascertained, and the arrival of the Expedition from Cadiz was daily expected, and greatly dreaded. Yesterday at two o'clock a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, which sat till alrout half-past three. After the breaking up of the Council, Mr. SILVESTER, the King's Mesc,enger, was ordered t o h o ld hi mself ready for a foreign journey. The Duke of YORK transacted business with the PRINCE REGENT yesterday. Yesterday Colonel Toriaeaxs, Public Military Secretary to the Dukeof YOEK;beld a•public day. Letters of the 25th, from the Flag,ne, state, that as fast as the Dutch troops could be mustered, they. were marched off into Belgium. A.dvices of the 23d, direct from Antwerp, mention, that - great exertions were making for putting that place in .the best state of defence. Antwerp Was declared in a state of siege, and the troops there evinc ed the best possible disposition to defend their charge. The present state of affairs in that eonntry at once explains and justifies the conthniance of the KING of FRANCE at Ostend, where his Majesty was, with a few attendants, on Mondaviait. • No time had been lost in fortifying the' town against a coup de main. With this view all the catinon'had been taken from the battery fronting th e s ea, an d removed to th e l an d side. In the course of a week the place was expected to be made exceed ingly strong. The Officers and• Gentlemen of the King's Gardes du Corps had quitted his Majesty, and - returned - into the interior of France,' where no doubt their services will he exceedingly im portant in organising any insurrection that may take place. Several of the English residents in the vicinity of Bourcleaux,-have arrived at Guernsey and Jer sey. They give favourable accounts of the loyalty and attachment of the people to the„BounßoNs, and a civil war is considered inevitable. The Duke Of ANGOULENIE was at Bourdeaux. The gallant Duke Ds GUICHE, late Count Dc GitammoNT, was also in that part of France, employed ,in ac tive and loyal efforts in support vI the cause of the KING and Royal Family, Extract of a letter. from Rio de Janeiro, dated 2lst Jail. 181.5 :-,-,"•The Zephyr ; armed ship, be longing to tho Buenos Ayres Government ,roved , lately ber e ,hringing •two Deputies, General BEL aRANDO and Don BERNANDINO RIVADAVIA, who we understand are to proceed to Europe, to endea vour to Come to some arrangeLneut about the future state of their provinces ; we rather iniagine they will in the first instance proceed to England.

Eztract of a Letter from the ',l,Arent . to L!oyd's Xevis, " About three weeks ago, an American priva teer, felucca-rigged, appeared to windward of this island, and chased the armed schooner Maria ; but night codling on, she hauled off, after tak:n,r.; a fishing boat with 5 negroes. She went to St. Bartholomew' s to repair her mast, but soon made her appearance again, find have seen her burn two brigs and a ship close in with the land, and it is said she took another ship and sent her for America ; the brigs were destroyed on the 6th inst. and the ship the following day. A few nights ago, the same privateer male an attack on the I vessels in the Road at :Montserrat, but was beat I off by them and the fort. Last night she took .a sloop and burnt her, and the night after she made the attack at Montserrat, she took a ship to wind ward of that island, and burnt her. " FEB. 19.—N 0 further account of the priva- e,tl';',l; NEW MUSICAL FUND. The Anniversary Dinner of this excellent Insti tution.took place on Tuesday last, at the Crown and Anchor., The Chair was taken by the Duke of SossEx, the President, who was accompanied by wally' clsintinguislied Noblemen and well known winateurs. As tile Members of this liisti tution are musicians of the highest character in their respective Lpartnients, it is needless to say that the. several compositions were will selected, and admirably performed. Among the toasts were, " The PRINCE REGENT, the princip a l P atron of the Institution,'7 with three times three ; and that of 4 ‘ i the Duke of StiSsEX,'' proposed by Mr. - DENYS, and drank with equal zeal and distinction. The Duke expressed his thanks, and after paying a liberal tribute to the Society, gave, " The New Musical. Fund, and success to the ensuing Con.. cert.' :"-,--" Harmony and unanimity to all the World.':. - The family of the SmAar's were con spictrous in. the Concert, and the health of its re spectable Head, the Treasurer, was received with universal applause. We were glad to find that a liberal *Subscription added to. the pleasures of the day. LORD COCHRANE.-Mr. JONES, the Marshal of the Kiag's Bench, went down to Kingston, on Tuesday, for the purpose of preferring a Bill of indictment against Lord COCHRANE, for breaking pri so n. The' punishment- for this offence, if the person charged be found guilty, provided that person shall be convicted of a misdemeanor, tends to transportation for seven years, but may be commuted at the discretion of the Court. The Grand Jury found a true bill. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE --On Tues day se•nnight,' at Mike Assizes, Ireland, a trial came on, which excited very considerable interest, in which Miss M`CAnTHY was plaintiff, and Capt. GRACE defendant. The damages were laid at . 10,000/. After a very lengthened•trial; the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Three Thousand Five Hundred Pounds Damages, and full Costs. COURTLY Rooxs.—A curiosity now presents it self in the Tower of London, that is far above the Lions, and all other curiosities in that depository of wonders. It' is a Rook's Nest, lately erected and inhabited in the centre of the Crowns, that surmount the weather-cock on the top of the White Tower. When a North Briton was placed to watch .. BUONAPARTE in Elba, it must be recollected that we only scotched the snake. A notice prefixed to the Moniteur states, that , the Bulletin des Lois is to be in future the only official paper, an d that nothin g is h e n ce f ort h to be considered official in the Moniteur, unless an nounced as such.. On Tuesday, the Howe, a magnificent m an o f war of 120 guns , was l aunched at the Royal • yard, Chatham, amidst the acclamations' of an im mense concourse of spectators. There was a hot press at Leith on 'Monday night. In a very old publication of the " Causes Cri minelles" that . were tried in the last - century in France, is preserved the following address of a banditti to their leader, which might find its apli- . cations in modern times— - - • " CAPTAIN—Since you were depQrte e. transported): we have had a sad snivelling fellow amongst us, who tried to cajole us by endeavourin g t o i n d uce us to re-enter (as he ex pressed it) the honourable ranks of life, • and coinfort our selves properly. What we auswered was, Set a,purce be fore us, and see what we will do for it.' Now, Captain, the golden times are come agairn In you we see the key to every rich man's chest, and if we do not open them as fast as we ca::, deem us unworthy to have a place in your troop." The Neir -- opera, which Ivas bro , R4ht forth las: night at Drury-Lane Theatre,- under the name of The Unknown Guest, is of the same description as most of thoSe which have been presented' to the publiefor several years past. . The music is the joint composiejon Of KELLY an:l,l3ltA u with an air from OAYDN, one from SACCMINI, Very l 7 ell known, and another selected,- but V:itliout the name of the ainhor. _The name 'of DoiLL- Dieu also is connected with that of KELLY in a chorus and a duet.-I'heo , ;.erture was bv.KELLY. Some of - tile airs by this CcnopOser are light and pleasant, with traces of energy and expression.— Some of them, are heavy and coniroon-place—.. BalpAm, Of course, has adapted his music tcf,l:.;;. own - vocal powers, and, therefore; it opera with strong effect. it does noe, , however, much in its nature from his , pixvious cOmposi Lions, as might. be expected, having been tlrittea with the same view. It, however, at rinks, dis plays taste, contrivance, and expression. Some of the airs were encored, and one was so niuch ach»ired as to be demanded a third time, b - ut not given. The dramatic part of this piece is aseri:7ed to Mr. AIINOLD. It has no striking novelty in the fable, and it is full as marvellous In its events as most of its predecessors. The plot would not have been toohitreate for comprehension, if it had not been expanded by touch useless dialogue, and a redundance6f characters which contribate rather to confuse than to illustrate the fable. There were, however, some humorous points, and some impiesive sentiments. But the piece is too long in repfesentation by at least an hour, and, therefore, may be rendeieJ .I!yr . e interesting by consicL.rable curtailme n t s . Th e so ngs h a - ve no strong recommendation of" poetic merit, and one about'a Woodman, sung . by'llaster BARNET, has no reference to any thing that occurs in the piece, but this, indeed, is fte ease with several of the airs, particularly :hose Sang by PYNE. NE. After all,' - however, the Manager of a Theatre can hardly h e expected to controul the public taste, and'autrinvs, therefore, must conforin to it. It is .needless to tutee- into fable, tvlricli has a <hie proportion of difficulties, escapes, tender tlgi lions, ancl, finally, a grand fiery demolition. The Piece was cast with the - strength' of the company, comic and musical, viz.l3ltAHAbi, PHILIPPS, BELLAMY, Mrs. DICI;ONS Miss KELLY, Miss POOLE, and Mrs. BLAND,- iNIUNDEN, KNIGHT, • OXBERRY, &c. The house was czowded, and. the Piece was well received till towards the con clusion, and on being announced for this evening by BRAMAN', the ayes exceeded the noes by a con siderable majority.
