ALGIERS, MARCH 14.—Since the 15th of Feb.
a strong British squadron has blockaded the port
of Algiers. The English, determined on bombard-
ing the town, are only waiting, they say, for a
flotilla of steam bomb-vessels, which is to be sent
from London. The Algerines are preparing for
war : they turn out of the town all those who
cannot be usefully employed for the defence.
The Dey has ordered that every man, from the
age of 18 to 50, shall take up arms. Ile pos-
sesses for his defence a most formidable artillery,
mounted upon paltry frames, and militiamen who
are adverse to the war. Alone in his capital, he
is determined on fighting and burying himself
under its ruins. The bombardment appears un-
avoidable, unless the Dey loses his head, an'
event which seems doubtful, as he does not quit
his fortress, the guard of which is entrusted to a
man actively devoted to his person.—(Constitu-
tionnel.)
Private Letters from Madrid state, that a se-
rious commotion had nearly arise!) in that capital,
from the circular of the President of the Council
of Castile to the Royalist Volunteers, having
been read to them on the public parade. The
Volunteers loudly expressed their dissatisfaction,
and were even proceeding to acts of outrage,
when the French General l3outiviosiT rode Up,
and threatened to call out his troops if they did
not disperse quietly.
This intimation had the de-
sired effect.

The King of the
NETHERLANDS, considering
that the commerce, manufactures, and agriculture of his king-
dom, have not yet attained the degree of prosperity of which
they are susceptible, has decided, by a resolution of 09th March,

The Dowager Countess of LOSsDALE died
yestesday morning at
eight o'clock, at her villa,
Broom House, Fulham.
Died, yesterday, at the house of Mr. \VIIITE-
AVES,father-in-law, in Fleet-street, aged 37, JOHN
Esq., son of the late JErtEmAx TAY-
Loa, Esq., Oculist to his MAJESTY, and Member of the Col-
TAo ,
RICHARD his
Col-
lege of Surgeons. Mr. J. R. TAYLOR had held a situation in the
General Post-Office nearly twenty-two years, and, for about the
last eight, that of one of the Inspectors of Franks. He was an
intelligent, attentive, and meritorious officer. He possessed
an excellent understanding, and had received a sound classical
education under the Reverend and Learned Doctor I3Ann ow,
at his former academy in Soho-square. His knowledge was
various and extensive. He has left an amiable widow and two
infant children to lament the loss of an affectionate protector.
OLYMPIC. THEATH E.—This Theatre, NI hick has
been tolerably successful during the season, was
opened last night for the. benefit of Mr.W.WEsT,
the husband of Mrs. W. WEST, of Drury-lane
Theatre, one of the best of the present London
actresses. Mr. W. 'WEST performed last season
with considerable success at the Haymarket
Theatre, and displayed so much merit that we
wonder he did not attract the notice of the
Patentee Managers, as he is well calculated to
support characters of a lively or grotesque de-
scription. But Managers are Monarchs, aud what-
ever may be the merit of Performers, if they are
not supported by powerful interest, they have as
little chance of procuring situations at a Royal
Theatre as a place at Court. Mr. W. WEST last
night performed Sam Swipes in a piece altered
from Exchange no Robbery, Peter, in the Farce
entitled The Devil and the Lady, and a part in an--
other Farce, entitled Love and Laudanum. In all
these characters, though of a different kind, he
displayed such versatility as well entitles him to
a station on Patent boards, and he sang two comic
songs with such effect that he was obliged to
give them twice, and even a third repetition was
demanded. On the whole, if the public could
before-hand have been apprized of his merit, he
would certainly have been attended by a more
numerous audience.

THE ARMY.

The 2d division of the 58th Regiment of Foot, which recently-
embarked at Portsmouth for Ireland, arrived at Cork on the
2lith ult.

Two Companies belonging to the 3d Royal Veteran Battalion
have arrived at Jersey from Cork. On the arrival of the re-
mainder of that corps from Cork, the 72d (or the Duke of
Albany's own Highlanders) will proceed to Plymouth for the
purpose of relieving the 61st Regiment of Infantry, which is
ordered to Ireland.

The Detachments belonging to the 3d Regiment of Dragoon
Guards, which recently proceeded to Liverpool, will, it is un-
derstood, be shortly ordered to march back to Manchester.

THE TENTH HussAns..--Several caricatures,
founded on the late publications respecting this distinguished
Regiment, have been published lately in Dublin. One of them
represents a Parson calling on an old woman for Tithes. She
shakes a Hussar ont of a band-box, and says—" There is a
tenth for you." The Reverend Gentleman declines the offer,
adding, " I don't tithe monkeys."—Another represents an
Hussar, who, having gone into a shop and 'made some pur-
chases, receives a penny-piece in change ; he asks what it is,
and, being informed, calls on his friend Torn, declaring he had
got '' a thing called a penny," and invites him to look at it.
THE 7TH DRAGOON Guaans.---,We find by a
letter written by Brevet-Major Power, late of this regiment,
to the Editor of the 117-atelford Chronicle, that the 10th
Hussars is not the only corps likely to engage public at-
tention. From the circumstances in detail in that letter, anti
accompanied as they are with the official correspondence, we
cannot doubt their accuracy. The case of Mr. Power and his
six brother officers is a hard one. The corps, .it appears, was
stationed in various cantonments ; but preparatory to an inspec-
tion by the Commander of the Forces, the detachment were
called in, and the corps then together were inspected, and
manoeuvred by Sir Colquhoun Grant for three days in succes-
sion. Lord Combermere appeared on the ground only one
hour of one of the days. The different manreuvres were
not gone through, in the opinion of Sir Colquhoun, with
a celerity to please him, and lee reported accordingly. The
result was, an official communication to Major Power and
six of his brother officers, to-sell or retire on half-pay ; the va-
cancies not to be filled in the usual succession by the remaining
officers. Mr. Power states, that a corps, divided as it Ins
been, could not be expected to enter at once into tie spirit
and practice of the evolutions lately laidllown by the Com-
mander-in. Chief, and that until then Captains of Troops
or Lieutenants who had never been called on to perform
these duties ; that the weather was wet, and that the corps was
fatigued by long parading, when Lord .Combern,ere came On the
ground. His representations were, however, not attended to.
He demanded an inquiry into his conduct as an officer and a
gentleman, but no inquiry could he obtain ; he and his brother
officers were obliged to retire; and, as he says, under circum-
stances that place the commission of every officer in the service
in no desirable state of security.—(Diblin Morning Post. )
Mr. Battier has written to the same paper, to 'state that he is
not, as alleged, the son of a merchant, but of a field-officer.
