MALTA, Jutw t7i

Trig ktwobs-birth.day was celebrated 'here in a
most brilliant manner by our Troops and- the
tives. After the firing from ;he ellipS and batteries
was over, and other military honours prafiised bn
such..occaaions, the City of Valette was illtimi-
nated, bonfires made in several streets, and abuut
eight o'clock the most splendid fire-tvorks ever
seen at Malta, commenced in the square opposite
the Palace. When this was over, a ball was givti.
by the Governor, at which all the Neapolitan and`
English Officers, and all the Nobility and Gentry
of•the Island ,attended. During the night the loyal.
inhabitants serenaded- the town, with the-different
instruments of music, playing anti singing' God save
the King,'. and other patriotic songs. -- Next night
the bust of the King, the Genii of Britain and
Malta, and other. charatlers, were exhibited at the
Theatre; and an:Ode was performed expressive of
the highest loyalty and attachment to the British•
•GoVernment, amidst- the acclamations of aerouded
and brilliant 4iidience. For seweral..nights the pre.
sent Grand Master THostAst (who is now tit
Sicily, and has rendert-d himself unpopular and de,-
tested, at Malta, by saying, " that if ever he came
to enj .y that dignity, he would make the Maltese
eat hay"), was burned in effigy, with a bundle of
hsy under' his arm. His Lieutenant,•• Signior
Buzzt,' has been frequently insulted by the pop.
lace, his house surrounded, and threatened to be
:r.zed to the ground. The ancient Governmeut is
detested by the Maltese, tilho are delighted at the
idea of Malta being kept by the Enlist). When
the Declaration ttf-War and the speech- of Lord

changes since its evacuation by the English:

in Egypt, whO, from his knowledge of the country,
language, &c. rendered the greatest services to our
Army while there, is to return as Secretary to the
Military Legation. He' came to Malta with* the
English Army, when they evacuated the country.
The ISCHURBADOI, as Civil Governor of Alexan-

is alto to return.

Toe THeArtte.-.--The dramatic entertainment
of The Camp was brought forward on Satuedarlast
at Deury..lane Theater, with " the pride,: pomp,
and • circumstance of glorious War," and with a
general miscellany of amusement that will doubtless
render it veryattradive. The scenery is beautiful,'
-arid the dialogue highly comic and diverting. The.,
revival,of this Piece at, the present moment, when
a martial spirit animates all ranks,of the people, is
highly proper in • a national as well as a dramatic'
point of view, and will tend by the loyal and paul.
()tic sentiments which it contains, to give, if pos.
siblc, increased force to that honourable spirit. The
Piece is supported by a great part of the comic arid
vocal strength. of the company. Jofins-roNa the
Irishman, P4I.MITA, Mrs, YOUNOi Mrs. H. JOH*.
STON,I and Miss Di CAMP, all ably contributed to
the general effea of the Piece. The'marching and
countermarching; and all the military evolutions,
were managed with much more correctness than is
usual on a first representation,
_for the revival of a
Piece so long laid aside may be considered, iniad,
as a novel exhibition, so far as the Performers are
concerned. The peculiar adroitness with which
Miss Da CAMP went through the Manual gxercioes
excited universal applause..
This bustling and pleasnt little Drama was
written by Mr. SHIMIDAN, so lunge- go as the
year 1778, and it is by no means unworthy of his
pen, considering that it was at first intended merely
as an occasional sketch to fall in with the military
spirit of the tittie. The House was crowded in all
parts, and the Piece received with great warmth of
' applause.
Most of 'the youths introduced on the Stage of
Drury-Lane Theatre on Saturday evening, who
performed their exercise in the revived entertain-
ment of the Camp, belong to the Cecil.street Corps,
who have attracted so much public attention.
The Tragedy of The Gantester is soon to be
brought forward at Covent Garden Theatre, with
the powerful support of KAPAISL'E and Mrs. Sib.:
DONS, in Mr. and Mrs. Reverliy, and Coox"E's
Smithy.
