His Royal Highness the Lord High Admi-

visiting the sea-ports, when he shall be happy to
receive officers resident in the respective neigh-
bourhoods at levees which he will then hold,
and that he will receive them -in undress uni-
forms. This notification, which appears to have
been dictated by much condescending kindness
and consideration, we understand, has been
officially communicated to Sir George Martin,
by direction of the Lord High Admiral.—

Yesterday, being the anniversary of the estab-
lishment of the Portuguese Constitution, a grand
Te Deum was performed, by command of the
Portuguese Ambassador, at his chapel in South
Audley-strect, to commemorate the event. The
music consisted of a selection from Portogallo
and Michael Haydn. Spagnioletti led the baud,
and Mr. C. Guichard (oreanist to the embassy)
presided at the organ. The Marquis de Pal-
India, the Portuguese Ambassador, appeared in
a full Court dress, wearing his different orders.
The Marquis's family and the greater part of the
Foreign Ministers were also present. The chapel
was crowded to excess.

Kenney, the dramatic writer, is-just returned
from Paris, having brought with him a new
Farce, which he has given to his friend Price,
by whom it will be produced at Drury-lane
Theatre, after the attraction of The Turkish
Lovers shall have subsided. Kenney's new
Farce, according to Green-room report, bids
fair to rival his own drama called Raising the
Wind. Liston is the comic hero.
