ROME, FEn. 24. ACCORDING to a private Letter from Messina, the Maltese Baillis ToMAsI, has accepted the dignity of Grand Master of Malta, for which he was ori ginally proposed ; but a certain great Power rather wished for. Prince Rusrott. Tommt is of an ancient Tuscan family, nearly related to die Si.aw NOCCHI and MANFREDINI. There is talk here of a new French Expedition against Algiers. In the Treaty of the 17th De cember, rSor, the DEY promised to restore to France all the Establishments on that Coast, in the same condition in which they were previous to the year 1792 ; but he now refuses to give them back, unless he receives the old tribute. The Republic of the Seven United Islands has sent a Minister Plenipotentiary to St. Petersburgh (who has already arrived at Vienna).

More has been subscribed than was wanted, that is, than Twenty-three Mil. lions of Florins, for so much was the deficit. The LANDGRAVE of HESSE CASSEL alone subscribed a Million. Many other Foreigners, especially from Germany, likewise subscribed considerable sums. CORN EXCHANGE, IVI -.ARCH 23. THis morning we have but few fresh samples of Corn here, and a slack Market; Wheat fully reaches last prices ; there is much of Monday's Barley unsold ; Malt is heavy sale ; Pease in good plenty, this article, with Beans and Oats, may be noted at alteration of small consequence, excepting very fine for seed, which are much dearer than ge. neral prices ; Flour as on Monday, and we refer to our currency as under.

The Hon. and Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of LITCHFIELD and COI' EkTRY has been pleased to collate the Rev. CHARLES PROBE, jun. Chaplain to His Grace the Duke of MAR L DORUUOH, and Rector of the Third Portion of Waddesden, in the countrof Bucks, to the Vicarage of Tachbrooke, in Warwickshire. The return of Kim LI has already awakened the spleen of interested malevolence. It is no doubt conceived that he will give a 'wound to the PoPei eye. The celebrated Poet KLOrSTOCK I the author of the Messiah, died at Hamburgh on the r4th tnstant, in the 79th year of his age, There is said to be a great want of horses at Plymouth : the cause of this is explained in the Herald of yesterday, which states, that lc all the Guns in the CITADEL are ordered to be orsexoted." A daring robbery was attempted on Wednesday evening last, at the Ebenezer Methodist Chapel, in King.street, Bristol : some villains,, who are supposed to have concealed themselves in the Chapel, re. moved from its situation an iron chest, which was fixed with masonry into the wall, (containing a considerable sum in cash, and some writings of inf. portance) : after having succeeded in getting it out of the Chapel,' some of the tackle used in carrying it of gave way, and the chest (about 3 cwt.) fell on the ground wlth such violence and noise as to occa. sion an alarm, what the depredators were forced to decamp without their booty. The goodness of the locks, and the strength of the chest, had rendered fruitless every attempt to open its BOARD OP ACRICULTURi7. YESTERDAY, at one o'clock, a allot commenced at the BOARD of AGR tctiLruar, in Sackville.street, conformably to the rules of their Charter, for the eleelion of a President; Treasurer, Chief Secretary, and five new Ordinary Members, in room of the same number who go out in annual rotation. The Ballot closed at three o'clock, when the following Noblemen and Gentlemen were declared by the Pre sident to have been duly eleted, viz. PRESIDENT-- Itight Honoatable Lord SIIEF N&W °RAII:ARV MEMB/RS. Duke of BEDFOttI). -- Earl of DARtiLItY, Right Hon. Wm. PITT, Sir FRANCIS GEARY, Bert. G. T. SUMNER, Esq. TREASVItER--10111 GRANT, Esq. CUW , SZCIZTARY-ARTHUR YOUNG, ESQ. On the Board-day preceding, Lord CAR R I NGTO had signified his desire, that a Successor to him might be named to fill the distinguished office of President, finding that he could not conveniently devote so much time for another year, as the duties of it would neces. sarily require. His Lordship then detailed, in a com prehensive statement, the various ohjetfts that had principally chimed the attention of the Board in the course of his Presidency. In this, he called to the recolleaion of the Members the grounds on which they had been induced to recommend a Ge neral Inclostire Bill to the consideration of the Legis lature, and the clamour of prejudice that had, not very liberally, been raised against it. His Lordship concluded a very eloquent Speech by a tributary compliment to the Board, for the invariable deco rum that had marked their proceedings, trusting that his Successor would experience the same flatter. sing assistance and attention with which he had 'so highly, and, he feared, undeservedly, been ho. floured.- The Earl of tGREMONT then rose, and moved, that the Speech, which the Board had evidently heard with so much pleasure and satisfaelion, should be printed, and added to the Records of the Institution. His Lordship said, that he was not induced to move this from any motive of personal regard to his Noble Friend, but as an aft of justice to the Board, over whom he had so long and ably presided, and the patriotic tenor of whose tondua, he had so eloquent. ly elucidated.—The motion passed rem. can. GIBRALTAR, FFIJ, 24. YESTERDAY the Reviews commenced with the Queen's Regiment, commanded by the Hon. Lien. tenant-Colonel RAMSAY. The day was remarkably favourable. It was universally allowed that no thing could exceed the discipline and appearance of the Regiment, which went through the whole eighteen manoeuvres in two hours and a half, with the utmost precision, and without making a single bad fire during the Review. His Royal Highness, at the conclusion, ex. pressed the highest satisfaaion to Lieut—Colonel RAMSAY, at the very superior style with which the Regiment had gone through the different ma. nceuvres. After the Review all the Officers of the Regi, ment had the Honour of dining with His Ruya Highness. No Staff'Officers in the Militia Set Vice, can in future, by the last An of Parliament; hold another Commission in any Militia Regiment 'with pay. This regulation in some cases will be a great hard: ship, particularly to those Quarter Masters, and Assistant Surgeons, who may now join their Regi ments again. The SECRETARY at WAR has is , sued orders, that in future the Adjutant's pay shall be altered, and he receive eight shillings per day— and the Ad brirefits the Surgeon, by allowing him ten shillings a day. There still remains something to be done by the wisdom and bounty of those concerned, to place the situation of the other Staff Officers in a better pecuniary sense. The Quar ter Masters of most of the. Militia Regiments were the oldest subaltern Officers in the Corps, and to whom the double pay proceeding from two ap. ' , ointments was given as a reward for long service. In short, a Staff apptaintrrient was all that a Suhal. tern Militia Officet could look up to—he could be promoted in no other way. It is much to be hoped, that the SECA STARA* At WAR will make some fur. titer arrangement with respiet to those useful and deserving Officers who served in the late war, and not permit them to join their Regiments again with only half the slender pittance they befetre enjoyed. An Aetion is to he tried at the ensuing WexfOrd Assizes, in Which the Rev. JOHN MONTOoMER Y is Plaintit, and Miss PARKER, of Wexford, is De fendant, for breach of promise of marriage. Th e Lady is niece to Sir,Pa T a it P ARKER , and the pre. sumed defence is, that the Plaintiff represented him- self as a relative to the Earl of EG L I NTOW N, where as be is the son of ANN MC/NV:3OMM Y l , Armourer to he Wexford Militia. Yesterday afternoon the body of an unfortunate Gentleman was taken Gold the Grand Jdndion Canal, near the first bridge, at Paddington : diligent search had been made for him since Saturday last, on which morning about three o'clock he had precipitated hiniself front the window or his bed-room, in Bell. street, Paddington, having nothing on but his shirt, and in that state he proceeded to the New Cut, unperceived or interrupted, a distance of near a mile. He was a fine looking man, six feet high, and ap. peated to be upwards of fifty years of age. Ile is said to have been In it delirious state from the efrceis of a feVer. About a fortnight ago a young woman applied for lodgings at a private house, at Kingston.upon. Hull, and described herself as daughter of Lady DOUOLA. I : of Edinburgh, who was recently mar. tied to Sir jAMMtts ?RINGLH, of that place. She said she had eloped, and married a Captain KING, who on their arrival at Yarmouth, had left her, taking with him all her money, clothes, &c. She had since been informed he was married some years ago, and has a wife living in Ireland, to whom he was then gone. By this artful story of distress, this female swindler moved the compassion of the people of Hull, who furnished her with clothes, money, &c. to a considerable amount, with which she decamped, having taken in various persons to the amount of fifty pounds, here. TItE TIPE47I?E; ". THti popular CorriedyOfobii Bull *as folicivved last night by a tragic .Inter lude, entitled Me C live, which seethed to be a second edition of Mai Best. The heroine of the piece was s upTozed be confined in a mad-ho Use; by her hiband, as she. told the audience irc rhyme. The bUrthen, of her song is, et I not mad, I arn not mad." the Gaoler, or keeper, brings her bread and water, and treats her supplications with scorn. At length a maniac appears, who terrifies her into insanity.— Her latherand brothers come to her relief ; htit her understanding is gone. At last her child is hi-Ought forward, and, the sight of hitti restores her reason. We never witnessed so contemptible .a produc. - , tion, and cannot conceive why it shoUld be obtruded upon the Public, to destroy the interest - and the merriment excited by an'exeellent Corriedy. The Audience, disgusted by the effeel of this miserable Mono-Drama, as it is called, testified great disapprobation. The Piece, however, was suffered to proceed, and was announced for thisi' evening, amidst a general hiss ; but the good sense of the Manager induced him, on refledion, to send KLAlrtitt upon the Stage again to signify that, on account of the terrific effect of the Piece, the Au.; thor desired to withdraw it. This intimation was received with hearty applause. . This very offensive composition is ascribed to the borrer-breediit s Muse of Mr. LEWIS, the Author of The Monk. The mad flights of the heroine were; Ev'ry dreary ouse between," enli , i,enid with sortie heavy harMoniei that were by no means analogous to the sentiments of the compo.: sition; We can by no means Coniplitent Mrs. Li rCH_ I ELIS an her recitation of this Piece, and hope she was not tempted .by confidence in her own power to entertain the Public, individzia/ty, to incite the geniiti of the aUthot to such a violation Of iaste and common sense. EXTRACT or A LETTER FROM PARIS, MARX"! 19. " It is agreed on here by all Parties, that the me derate and dignified cOndua of .the British Ambas. satins, 'on a late occasion, has only been surpas s ed by the vigilance and aaivity of the King's Mini sters at hotne; while On the contrary the behaViont of a certain Great Man. provei that he has not, yet ' learnt to a& up to the great station in which Fost tune has placed him. Instead of persuading the . World of his pacific intentions, he has convinced all impartial men of his real designs, and that hii anger was riot the effeet of feeling hurt by • ungrounded suspicion, but, aroused by the premature and Uneipeded discovery of his hostile interitiOns. 6 ' Like master, like man: TALLEYRAND, as well as his Solrereign,,can be insolent to the Ministers of those States degraded by their French Conneftion,. dr weakened by French. Intrigues ; but he was far from approving of the' violence offered 'toWards the Representative of the King of the first Nation upon earth, he, therefore, with all humility, entreated his Master to make it up. His maxim is, that un til France has a Navy equal to that of Britain, the Chief Consul mint sink his pretensinns to be tha modern Alexander, and content hiMself, with tespel to England, to 'act edit-Phi/inc. His advice, however, was so ill received, that he g a in hi's resignation; and for twenty-tour hours Rumour ap... pointed him different. Successors, such as SEOURi' OTTO,'CALLI!ARD, &c. ; but while the Public were thus bast'-, BONAPARTE invited TAL LUYRAND to dine ‘tith Mtn in private, and, after some explana tion, returned him his Ministerial Part-ifoid?‘., and • he is, as present, again the fittt favourite of the first Consul. " The self.convitled Traitor, O'Cortsroa, has. lately been every day seen at TastsvaaasTo's Office; and he boasts to thcsse persons who, like an English Orator, dishonour themselves by his society, that the late SsuirsConsulta shall snort he followed fry • Irish one. This Irish gasconade, however, mecca with little confidence even from his ragged and starving rebellious accomplices. " Two Printers; and three Booksellers have been lately sent to the Temple Bastille, for printing anti selling the late Trial of PELTlsa,with Mr. MActst:l. TOSIVa Speech at full length. Another Elition from the Consular Press is now presented to ,sale, In which, of course, every thing striking.; or offensive ; is left out :—in short, it is now a Trial li.la.Fran. cerise, fit for free Frenchmen to read. • .

Thiir is so much the more provoking, as the former French politeness at this office is changed into the most brutal insolence,. which can only be softened into a little civility by the sight and feeling of a.few British Guineas." The Lazzroni of Naples will soon be extirpated, as all begging is forbidden there under the severest penalties, and above 7000 beggars and vagabonds have been taken up "and confined. To procure' still greater advantages to .the trade . of Trieste, His IMPER.IAL MAJESTY has resolved ' to enlargeand,iniprove the harbotu of that city, and given the diretlion of this undettaking to the celebrated Engineer, Counsellor E !IRK INC.
