AMSTERDAM, FEB. 28.

ON the 25th inst. General MARMoNT, accom-
panied by Generals VIGNoLLES and BoUD ET, ar.
tilted here from Utrecht. He was, met by, a de-
tachment of Batavian Hussars and Grenadiers from
our Garrison, who escorted him to the Dock, where
he received the compliments of the Municipality,
and-afterwards dined in company with the French
Commissary, the late Direaor Gotitstt, &c. The
next day he went, accompanied by one of our Di.
trelur3 of the Marine and his retinue, in two yachts,
over the ,Zuydersee to the Helder and the Texel, to
inspea the Fleet and the Troops in North Holland,
,whence he will return by land to Amsterdam and
Utrecht ; after which he will go to F/ushing.

The accounts which continue to he received
from Ceylon, confirm all the melancholy, details
previously communicated, relative to the horrible
massacre of •our troops in Candy. The following
intelligence is -given in a letter from Tanjore,
dated the Ist of September :—" Major DAY I E.,
CapL RUMLEY, of His Majesty's M4ay Regiment,
and a Captain of the Bengal Artillery, are the only
officers retained as prisoners; they are. now employ. •
ed in working on • the roads, and in other de..
grading offices. Some of the Officers' servants, I un_
derstand, have been sent to Trincomale, with their
noses cut off, and other-wise. mangled. Upwards
of. 32 Officers have died or been killed in Ceylon
since the beginning. of the war. I firmly hope,
however, that the Candians will not glory long in
their cruelty, as an army of 6000 men is now as-
sernbling in-Bengal, destined, it is said, for Ceylon."
An English Guineaman lately put into SurinaM,-
under an impression that it had received a Britiih
Garrison; the crew were made prisoners, but have:
arrived ilia cartel at St. Vincent. •

THE ANNIVERSARY OF ST. PAT RICK,

ON Satord4 last was held at.the Crown and An-
chor Taelerne in the Strand, Lord HoTciateesON in
the Chair. The,Yrce-Presidents present were the
Earl of KINC;sTOIs:, site Earl of Lustea tete, and the
Right: Hon. Ctelt al'. The company, was verey
nurnertause about 3so having sat •down to dinner,
which was concluded with Non Nobis. Domitte, by
rh ovum, and a full chorus, shortly after which
the Children who are under the charitable protec-
tiOn of this Society, were introduced, and their ap.
peitrance afforded-ft very laudahle testimony of the
care of the, persons entrusted with their superintend-
ante. A liberal collettiore was then made foy,.the
charity la •Gthlitien eo the annual subscriptions,
ported on the oceesion by Mr: Pit'6vie. Treasurer to
the Society. • '
The cloth being reitioved,.the first•toait gieen.by

Highness the DUKE•of Ceesa EN'CE, and the Navy," '
the rest of the Royal Dukes,"the Band playing
appropriate airs. •
Lord HUTCHINSON neXt. proposed the health of
a Nobleman, which he was convinced would be re-
ceived with their unanimous approbation. It was,
he said, •the health of his Noble and' Illustrious
-Friend on his_right hart!, the Earl of MOIRA, whom
he had the honour So unworthily to succeed-in the
Chait of that Society, which, on the la,t Anniversa-
ry of die Festival, he filled with so much honour and
advantage to the Institution. The very able and
eloquent oration pronounced on that day by his
Noble Friend,4rom the Chair, trOist iveli be rernern:.
bored by most of them who now heard hiM. The
danger which then menaced the Cotintry in the pre-
parations of the Enemy, and then so ably depidell
by his Noble Friend, was now mattorted and ready
for explosion, and he was proud to witness, through-
out the United Kingdom, one unanimous Spirit of
resistance. From such a spirit must be-anticipated
the most triumphant result: Upon a subjea Which
came so home to the.heart and feeling of every man,
he felt it unnecessary at present to dilate, to
divert the attention Of the Assembly from the parti-
cular objeEt of this day's Meeting ; namely, the cha-
ritable support of those chidren whom the Society
had taken under its humane proiedicn. The
duties of charity embraced all seas • and nations,
and the Society, by the erotedion it extended to
these poor children, would, he hoped, preserve
them as valuable memberS to society. Lord HU Trilll-
INSON concluded by repeating the health of his
Noble Friend " Lord MOIRA." The toast was
drank with loud, reiterated, and enthusiastic ap.
plauses..
The Earl of MontA rose, to rettrrn his sincerest
thanks to the assembly, fele the warm' and'llattering
manner in which they had been pleased to receive
the sentiment proposed to them by hii noble and
gallant Friend ; who, he observed, in the. senti-
ments he was pleased to express on the occasion,
seemed peculiarly mindful of the day, and of the
company, and was therefoie resolved to gratify them
with a blunder ; for such, he must beg leave to
consider the effort of his Noble Friend, to transfer
upon him the peaise and the charaderisties that were
so peculiarly his own. If there was any cir.
cumstanee in which he felt more 'than ordinary
pride, it was in being a native of that country which
gave birth to his Noble Friend ; his heart had ever
scorned to stain the Shamrock; and it was that feel-
;nee he wished most to excite in the breasts of all his
CoUntrymen: nor did he entertain the least doubt
of his being supported by those whom he had now
the honour to address, and who must be considered,
in some degree, a representation of the Irish People
in the Metropolis of the Empire. As to the pre-
parations and threats of the Enemy, the moment
was now approaching when we should have 'to meet
them on our own coil ; and he exulted in the re-
fiedion, that no snialt portion of the public de.
fence would fall to the .share of his. Countrymen.
Upon this point 'it was that he most anxiously
wished to press the principle of never staining
the Shamrock. There was an old adage, often
used in Ireland, that "one castle of bones was worth
ten or stones;" an adage, the-truth of which must
be the mote obvious the more it was considered;
for our safety must depend infinitely mere upon the
determined valour of those who are ready to sacri.
fice their lives fur their Country, than upon any se-
curity which artificial means can furnish. The
Noble Earl, concluding by.a very warm and-feeling
eulogium on the -nature and objed of the Charity,
proposed 'to the CoMpany the health of 14. Lord
HUTCHINSON."
'Lord HUTCHINSON next propose& " the City of
London," so worthily represented in that Society by
the presence-of two respedable, Aldermen, Row
CROFT and FeowE.R. • With the worthy Aldet men
expressed. their most cordial thauks, in the name of
the City.
healths of Mr. CokRY, Lord CASTLE REACH,
Lord KINGSTON, and Mr. CANNING, were after-
wards drank.
Lord HUTCHINSON having quitted the. Chair,
Alderman RoWCROFT was unanimously ealled•to it;
and soon after,
Mr. FELIX MACMUTHY rose, and congratu.
lama the Society on the discernment it had
evinced by calling the worthy Alderman to the
Chair, which was vacated by a Nobleman justly
admired for his public and private virtues, respeded
by all intelligent and honest men, for the liberality
of his politics and the integrity of his charaaer—
a Nobleman who had acquired his rank and "copse.
quence, not by cringing to the Minister, or bowing
4t levees, but by displaying his eminent talents on the
field of Mars, and fighting right on for vietory, fame
and glory (reiterated applahrse.) When he heard
from the lips of another Nobleman (who was truly
soled by the Noble President the ornament of Ire-
land) that his greatest care was and ever would be,
.not to stain the Shamrock of his Country, who did
not feel that delightful emotion and generous ardour
for the cause of freedom which the sacred green ue.

THE THEATRE. The Wheel of FOrtufft leas
repeated on Saturday night, at Covent Garden
Theatre, before a numerous audience. KEMBLE,
who is recovered, played Pe*ruddoch with as much
spirit as ever, and was very -impressive. The part
of GOvelnor Tempest sat more easy on MUNDBN,
and was indeed a very diverting performance. Misli
BRIUNTOII 19 obviously improving. The more she
gives way to the dictates of her own feelings, the
stronger will be her impression cur the audience.
The Porasraph continues to be an .attraftive
Piece, and independently of its own -qualities the
ineiits of •the performance are sufficient to render it
popular.
.The
_Pie,-nic Performers are to represent the
Tragedy of The kevenge, this evening, at, the. Tot-
tenhatri.street Rooms. The charatters are to be
siliToned by, the best of the Dilettanti Artois.--
