CON!TANTINnTLI, JAN. I t.—On the 36th of
December the Englifh Ambafrador left the Hotel
de France, and Inc next day the French arms were
put up there with an infcription fignifying that that
hotel belonged to France. Citizen Rorvis took
pollalion of it yellerdsy. The Englifh Levant
Company has contributed a confiderable fum of
money towards the building of the hotel for the
Britifh EmbalTy. There are Rill 7000 Englifh
troops in Egypt, including 5000 Sepoys. In the
camp at Giza are only too men; the Englifi gar-
rifon at Alexandria confitls of goo men; the ref
of the troops are at Damietta and Rofetta. Ac-
cording to fome accounts, the Englifh in Egypt
require of the Turkilh and Greek flips which take
commodities on board there, 14 per cent. upon
their cargoes. This is the reafon why fo few mer-
chant (hips have hitherto arrived here from
Egypt. According to other accounts, the Englifh
have laid an embargo on the merchant (hips in
Egypt, becaufe they want them for the convey.
ance of their troops.

different Courts Should be, the former requefled,
and the latter direaed, to obtain the proper refpea
and fecurity for the Cifalpine flag and the rights
of its veffels. _ _

PRIVATE T ....The following letter from the Hon.
Colonel HA woe a, wbkb alludes, as our Readers will readily
fee, to a newly prepared Dramatic Inititution, contains fo
much native humour and genuine ridicule, that we cannot
help giving it a place u a oars or, which will no doubt afford
entertainment to many or our Readers Is addrefred to

the Editor of a Morning Paper:
Sta---1 am a friend to the regular drama as by law ellablifit-
cd: I have fees the effeas of a Private Dilettanti Theatre in a
Sifter Kingdom, and I think that all gentlemen who are the
genuine admirers of the Englilb Stage, humid come forward
and Item the tidc of innovation. You may call it a vulgar cry.
Sir, but I Olen that if Men and Women of Falbion will come
forward and not merely thew themfclves for nothing, but give
balls, wades, and (uppers into the bargain, it is time for the
regular theatres to look about them.
I do not agree with you that It Ise fubjea only for ridicule.
I think that there Adore and Adtreffes of Quality ought to be
oppoled, and I, for one, offer my cervices to the regular The-
atre& Why mould Gentlemen hefitate to come forward to the
fupport of the Stage, when a party is detracts to undermine it
I am determined, Sir, to turn Amateur Aaer ; but I will gratify
my paffion according to Law, for it than never be Paid of me that
I have had feruples concerning the legality of my purfuits. There
Dilettanti Actors may think it prudent to take the opinion of
Conflict on their proceedings. GOD forbid that I Ihould ever
be reduced to Inch an extremity. My character through life
has been fo ftrongly marked by the profound obedience which
I have paid to the laws of the land, the raped! I have felt to the
property of individual% and the fatted regard which I have
always thought• due to decorum, and to the guardian tribunal
of an Englith public, that I never have, and I truft, I never that!
have to tonfult any other arbiter than my own confidence,
about the propriety and purity of my anions. No, Sir, other
Dilettanti Aaort and ARreffes may be lodged in round boufes
with all my heart.--13ut I am for the clear path.
I am only defirous to meet there Draweanfirsfairty. They for
a private Rage.--I am for the public theatre. If there molt be
Gentlemen Actors ; lam their man. I engage to play Captain
lkistsent6 againil them for what they dare..— I hope other Gentle-
men will come forward. I hope my friend, Captain M—•
will be my Ally, and my friend Captain Lsty; I have
a very perfea Fikh in my eye, and thus we will play the Nog-
: i, Opera spinit them at Drury-lane, or Covent-garden
I whenever they pleafe. Let it be on the fame evening, and we
I than fee which of the two will draw the molt crowed bottle.—
but remember I bar late hours, fur I am no Mend to .ambit
smality. I hereby engage to meet them, male and female,
beard to beard, I with law on my fide, and they without it, as
loon, and as o: ten at they pleafc. I am ready in Captain infachatth.
I ran hug ail the longs very much in the asnaterr ftile—shat is, in
a jovial, rumbling way, and if I mould fall in the Bravura, the
Public lam fare will forgive me. I will alto attempt Bshadd,
`though I do not evadly toot the charaaer, and much Ids like a
I beating either in jell or eameft ; and 1 think I mall be at home
in Captain FI.A. I &all afro underhand my cue in the Ram:tins
Sc.,. int ; but AfJamtb I chute for my &Int. This is my plan,
which I humbly offer to the two Theatres and the Public. lam
for no violence ; but if we mull have Gentlemen Perlormers,
let us fee which (hall have the preference, thole on the Public
Theatre, or thole who wilb to rear their heads in private. I
(hall cot:clink with laying, that if my friends Captain M—
and Captain A—. (hould content to appear with me, it mull
uot be ohjeaed that they will not make very ileticatc women.
That it true—but I do not think they will be more prepofter-
out, either in flee, or lb-pc, or features, than fume or the mot
!Applauded la modern mei, both on the public and
