THE HA I'LL GJI MA IL.

CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 25.

JAsrs ErrEst:o, the former Reis Effendi, has
been commissioned by the Porte to visit the Egyp-
tian Ports, in company with the Swedish Captain
RHODE, and to make such improvements in them as
may be judged necessary. These two Commis-
sioners are about to sail from hence in a Turkish

Frigate.

The Porte seems apprehensive that the protection
afforded by the English to the Beys in Egypt, will
throw obstacles in the way of the new Administra-
tion intended to be introduced by the Turkish Go-

vernment into that Country.
The English Ambassador, Lord ELGIN, is at
present very much indisposed.

Baron STURAIER is appointed to succeed Baron
HERBERT, as Ambassador at Constantinople.•

VIENNA, MARCH 20.

The Qt%EEN of NAPLES has been for some days
confined to bed by indisposition.
Three h°:►ndred and sixty pieces of cannon are al-
ready placed on the walls of Belgrade, ready to re-
pel the attack of the Turkish Troops. The ex-
pelled Janissaries hare set fire to the Town of Ja_
gcdin.

FRANKFORT, MARCH 23.

PRIVATE Letters from Paris assure us, that the
integrity, neutrality, and independence of Swit-
zerland,-!las been confirmed by the Treaty 9f ilm;ens,
and that French Troops will soon be withdrawn
from that Country.

The Lady-Day Dividends began to be paid this
day to the Bankers, and to-morrow to the Public.
On Monday night the CHANCELLOR of the Ex.
CHEQUER proposed the new Tax on Malt, Hops, and
Beer ; and in reply to a question from an Hon. Mem-
ber of the House of Commons, stated most explicitly,
that it was not his intention to lay the new Duty on
the Beer already brewed. Nevertheless, on Tuesday
morning, the public-houses dependent (as most in-
deed are) on the Brewers, gave notice that the price
of Porter would be immediately advanced one nalf_
penny, that is to 4-Id, the pot. Now, the stock of
Porter in hand is probably more than six months'
consumption, so that the Public are to be charged,
zd. per gallon, or -6s. per barrel, on perhaps above
600,000 barrels ; nearly zoo,000l.• advance on
th;it which pays nothing to the new Duty.
Mr. FLINT, late Superintendant of Aliens, is
appointed Private Secretary to the Hon. W. WICK_
It Am, who is going Secretary to the Lord Lieute-
nant of Ireland. It is said that Mr. BROOKE will
succeed to the Alien Deparrment, as he is first in
succession in the Office.
The Tax upon Income is not novel in the history
of Finance, for it was known to the Romans.
The CHANCEL LOL of the EXCHEQUER, it iS
said, has taken the house, for the Summer, near
Kensington-Gore, formerly occupied by the Prin-
cess AMELIA, and lately by Mr. CRAUFURD.

By the French Papers we learn that Mr. TIER.
NEY is to resume the superintendance of the Fi-
nances in the House of Commons, a charge which
for some time has been committed to Messrs. RUB_
SON and JONES. " All the world," adds the
Journalist, " must rejoice to see such a charge res-
cued from such hands !"

A Lady, it seems, is corning forward with a tri-
bute to the memory of the late Duke of BEDFORD.
This is a bold effort after the posthumous eulogium
of his friend CHARLES Fox, at once honourable to
the feelings and the comprehensive mind of the
Orator, to say nothing of the place in which it
was delivered, which could awake no objedion
in a liberal mind.

A Gentleman of high rank in the Company's
Service, lately returned from Calcutta, it is said,
had the beans in his cabbin aCtually cushioned, to
prevent his head from receiving damage in stormy
weather,: so enervating is the elimate of India,
and so accustomed are the higher Civilians to ease
and luxury, that they require every possible pre-
paration to enable them to endure common
hard-ships;
On the night of the illuminations at Portsmouth,
a Publican on the Point ornamented his candles with
black crap .
Colonel Pic-Ric Flustered his forces again on
Monday evening. The French men in cvomen'i
cloaths were discarded. Le Texier appe.ared in the
charaler of an old old woman, and while the re-
presentations are confined to old women, they may
probably prove harmless enough.
A Soldier in woman's cloaths was on Tuesday
taken to Bow-street, in custody of a Watchman of
St. Martin's, who apprehended, him the preceding
night in the streets behaving in a disorderly man-
ner. Many depredations having lately. been com-
mitted by persons in such disguise, great, pains
were taken to ascertain the Prisoner's motives,
but nothing satisfactory being obtained, he was
delivered over to his regiment, and promises were
made to punish him for such unsoldier_like conduit.
On Sunday morning last, during Divine Service,
a great number of blackguards of every description,
assembled on Chelsea Common, to witness two
pitched battles that were to be fought there ; but
information of the business being communicated to
Mr. BoNn, the Magistrate; he immediately issued
his Warrant to apprehend die principals, and dis-
patched several Constables to the spot, on whose
approach the mob dispersed. Two of the combat-

ants, who are butchers' apprentices in the
bourhood, were afterwards apprehended under an.:
thority of the Warrant, and obliged to find sureties
to answer
,auy complaint that might be preferred
against them at the next Session.
