This morning «e received German Papers to the 27th
tit. The Austrian. Observer of the 26th ult. contains an
extremely long, and somewhat intcresting article, dated
Constantinople, 25th Feb/ oar y. It cot& ms the account
of the attempt to burn the arsenal, and the influence of
our Ambassador at the Ottoman Porte. It appears that
Lord llvrtotc had a narrow escape from the Tut kish
fleet. Great praise is bestowed on the GRAND VIZIER,
whose health is stijj very precarious, and whose death
would be a most severe loss to the Porte. Among other
i oprovements which he has introduced into the admi-
nistration is one that, if carried into effect throughout
the Empire, will effect an important change in the
n:ilitary system of the Turks. It is resolved to change
the contingents of troops which the Provinces Are
obliged to furnish, into contributions in money, which
will be employed in raising and p;:ying men fit for ser-
♦ice, instead of the rabble hitherto furni-hed by the
Provinces. This measure has already beets carried into
effect in some Provinces, and when completed will
enable the Porte to draw large reinforcements from Al-
bania ; the inhabitants of which country always take
part with those who can pay them; when the Porte
can &this the insurgents will no► be able to entice away
its best troops.

A fleet of 100 sail, with troops on board, is expected
from Egypt : it is said to be at Alexandria, ready to put
to sea. It is even supposed that the Pacha of Egypt, to
whom the SULTAN lately wrote a letter with his own
hand, will give the command of the troops to one of his
sons.—The Poi tc lately gave, on two occasions, proofs
of particular respect for the European Powers, espe-
cially England.
A Priest from Zante, named DloNTsrus,whom Lord
StRANWOIta himself caused to be sent fromConstaati-

nople a year and a half ago, for several misdemeanours,
had privately returned, and, with numerous associates,
engaged in raising recruits for the insurgents : they had
proceeded so far that they had engaged forty vessels
to send a way their recruits.
Some lawless and desperate persons who took part in
the plot, even thought of burning the arsenal. The
secret was however discovered, and above 100 persons,
among whom were eleven lonians, were arrested in one
day. The British Ambassador, though convinced of
the guilt of these men, required, as was his duty, that
regular proceedings should be instituted against them,
and the Porte really allowed a Commissioner appointed
by the British Ambassador, to be present at the
examinations. The result was, that DioNysitys and
another lonian were condemned to the galleys, two
were acquitted, and the others banished to Asia.—
The second remarkable case is the following:—Lord
BYRON, who for some months had his head quar-
ters at Argostolo, in Cephalonia, repaired at the end
of December with a pretty numerous suite of ad-
venturers of all nations to Zante, where lie stopped but
a few days, and on the Ist January sailed for Misso-
longhi : himself and a few persons in a small row boat ;
his other companions, his horses, equipage, money, and
a considerable quantity of ammunition in a large vessel
under English colours, with• simulated papers, for the

little island of &slam°. Near Cape Papas he was met'
by five vessels of the Captain Bey, which haki come out of
the Gulf` of Lepanto. Laid BYRON'S little vessel es-
caped by the exertions of the rowers.

The transport was taken and carried into Patras. The
very next day an English brigantine sailed from Zante,
and proceeded to Patras, to require the restitution of
the ship, which was covered by the English flag. To
the astonishment of everybody, the Captain Bey, de-
ceived, it is said, by a Greek, who pretended to have
saved the life of the Turkish Vice-Admiral., consented
to release the vessel for a trifling ransom. When the
news of the event reached the capital, everybody ex-
pected that it would go hard with the Captain Bel-
Instead of that, the Porte signified to the Dragoman of
the British Embassy, " that it fully approved the con-
duct of the Captain Bey, though it was well aware of
the nature and destination of Lord BritoN's expeditior;
and that it-with pleasure took this opportunity to con-
vince England that it willingly postponed every other
'consideration to the wish of maintaining its friendly
relations with foreign Courts."
Though Lord 13yrios has been received with great
demonstrations of joy at Alissolonghi, there is every rea-
son to suppose that the good understanding between
the Insurgents and the English will not be of long du-
ration : most of the latter behaved as if they acted by
the command, or at least on a secret understanding
with their Government. But the absolute falsehood of
this assertion being proved to the insurgents, they have
become distrustful and discontented.
The remainder of this article dwells on the dissen-

tions among the Insurgents themselves. It states, how-
ever, that both in the Morea and the Islands there is
still the same hatred of their arrtient masters, and that
the fear of their vengeance has been extinguished by
the events of the two last campaigns.

No great preparations, however, are making for the
next campaign. The writer adds, that ODYSSEVs had
failed in his attempt on the Isle of Negropont ; he could
not attack Caristo, because the plague raged in that
I place ; and q.:;iibos, the chief fortress, having an able
commander in the Paella, who had contrived to obtain
MO men ham Larissa, had baffled his efforts. The
insurgents,indeed, had not left Negropont, and ODYsSEUS
waited on board the Ipsariot ships for a better oppor-
tunity But the principal fortress is said to have ample
supplies for six months ; an,i so long as the Greeks have
not possession of this, and the passes of Mount Oeta are
not occupied by them, a Turkish corps may at any time
;nundate Livadia.

The following intelligence relating to cur squadron
at present blockading Algiers has been received this
morning from the Agent to Lloyd's at Gibraltar, dated
the Pith cf March:
His Majesty's Ship PHAETON arrived yesterday from Algiers; by
her we learn that Admiral Sir 11. NE., LE was there in the lteveNce,
with five (rigors, a sloop, and a brig, and was blockading the port.
'IIIC Algerine Government had refused to treat with the Admiral.
'Mete were two Algerine frigates and some corvettes it: port, which
had been out cruising, and were repotted to have prisoners on hoard.
Our squadron captured a vessel with Algerine property on board,
and sent her to Malta. The Dutch squadron was supposed to be
at Mahon. It does not appear that any British.vessels have been
taken.—To.day there have been two arrivals from Oran, one a
vessel belonging to this port, which bad been under sequestration
by the Algtrines ; but it seems that the British Vice-Consul, being
arrested, sent an Express to Algiers, to the American Consul, for
whom hr was also acting as a Deputy, who immediately demanded
his release, which was acceded to by the Der, and permission sent
to him to quit the place if he liked, and remove his property—under
this latter description the English vessel was given up.
" The Vice-Consul writfs, that ;here had been a rising of the
natives in Oran, against the Turks, in the beginning of this month,
lyat it was quelled, and the ringleaders put to death.
To Joets Ilcsvirr, Esq. Lloyd's."

tion of ltossias, was performed on Tuesday night for the second
time. Although it possesses much merit, it does not embrace
the variety and splendour of some of his more early cornpftsitior.;.
l'arts of the music are very fine, and a Duet in the first Act, be-
tween Signor CURIONI and M. C. 14.ossiNt, deservedly met with
a rapturous encore; and a Trio, by Arrange, Zarnide, and Zamo-
rode, in the second Act, was not less pleasing, though, in consequence
of the indisposition of GARCIA., it was executed by Alesdames Cot,
BRAND and VEbTRIS min.—The House was well attended.

IN-CLIFF OF HIS MAJESTY'S FORCES,

We the undersigned resident Gentry of the City of Dublin,
humbly entreat that your Royal Highness will be graciously pleaszd
to remove from this Garrison the Tenth Regiment of Royal
Hussars. We are induced to make this entreat• from a conviction
that such a measure will be calculated to preserve Neat good feeli
which has heretofore invariably subsisted between of and the Oa-.
cers doing duty in our garrison; that it will conduce tothepeaceof
the city, and contribute to the ch?racter of the service."—Dublin

The Monkeur of Monday, in an article from Rome,
announces that Mr. Hastings (the Marquis of HASTINGS)
has set out for his Government of Malta.

The assents at the Bank of England to the conversion
of the Four per Cents. are stated to amount to nemly
sixty-four millions. The Court of Chancery, and Tros-
tees, are allowed an extension of time for assent. We
understald the amount of the former exceeds one mil-
lion; the anueunt of the latter cannot be calculated:
but, as .i,sents have been also received at the Kink z;/

DR 57 7-ZANE THEATRICAL FUND DINNER.
x-I•Sterday a mire numerous and brilliant assemblage:
- than •.,:e have witnessed on any former anniversary, met-
at the Freemasons' Tavern, to commemorate
sal; ie,tival. At a few minutes after six. o'clock, 'the
pia‘e of YORK was introduced by the stewards. His
raaal Highness was supported on his right by the Mar-
quis of CnoLMONDataif, and on his left by Mr. Cat-
caAFT, M.P. Lord SIIIREWsBORY and several Mem-
bers ei-. both Houses of Parliament were present. The
Grand Hall of the Freemasons' Tavern was superbly
fitted up for the occasion. Immediately over the chair
was placed a very correct likeness of his Majesty, in
transparency ; on either side was placed a bust of Shak-
sueare and of Garrick, on pedestals. This was sur-
mounted by an admifable representation, in transpa-
rency, of Sir J. REYNOLDs'a celebrated picture of the
Tragic and Comic Muse contending for their respective
claims to the genius of Gartick, the founder of the In-
stitution. The number present must have considerably
exceeded three hundred. Indeed we do not remember,
an any former occasion, to have seen so thronged an at-
tendance at the celebration of any festival at the Free-
masons' Tavern. Opposite the picture of his Majesty
was placed a likeness, though not an equally correct
one, of his Royal Highness the Duke of York. •
The galleries, which afford very ample accommoda-
tion, were thronged with an assemblage of very beauti-
ful women, amongst whom we recognked some of the
popular actresses of Drury-Lane. At seven o'clock
dinner was served tip in the usual style of excellence of
the Freemasons' Tavern, and every circumstance con-
nected with the festivity contributed to ptornate its in-
terests and popularity.
On the removal of the cloth, the masical gent'emen,
ileitis. Horn, T. Cooke, Fitzwilliam, Broadhurst, &c.
mho attended in strong mmter on the occasion, sang

The Clime Banos; of Scotland next rose to propose
a toast, which he was sure would be received wall the
utmost satisfaction by any class of his Majesty's sub-
jects, and he was satisfied by none more than by the
company at present assembled, on whom his Royal
Higlint-s, had such strong and peculiar claims of grati-
tude—(ilear). From those who were the objects of the
bounty of this Institution, his Royal Highness had a
. daily and an hourly blessing for the patronage which
he extended towards it. Nor was it this Institution alone
that enjoyed the advantages of ,his Royal Highness's
patronage: it was extended, he might say, to almost all
the institutions and - charitable establishments '.f the
Metropolis—(Neal). His Royal highness had a heart
to feel, and a hand open as day to relieve. the wants al
the destitute. Ile was aware nothing which he could
add would be available to increase the respect which
the are eat company entertained towards him, or to
augment the enthusiastic feeling with which they were
e:rsposed to toast his health. He would conclude by
proposing his Royal Highness the Duke of York.
" The Duke of York."—(Three times three). This toast was
received with the liveliest manifestations of respect and enthusiasm.
Tire Dok:: of lona, in returning thanks, said that he
fele gr eat satisfaction at meeting so numerous and bnil-
liatrr.
it,s;:nll)l.lge as he hat now the pleasure of seeing
before him. it was true that this was not the first time
that he had had an opportunity of meeting the friends
of this iastitution, but on no former occasion did he see
them muster so nurreroirsly—( Mar, hear). He hoped
that tile increase of numbers would cot respond to the
increase of the funds and interests of the Institution, ana
was sure that those who contributed to its funds would
feel themselves amply repaid by the self-satisfixtion they
would feel at having contributed to the relief of those
who stood in seed or their aid and services—(Cheers).
The Duke of YORK next proposed the health of Mr.
he in, aid success to the Drury-lane Theatrical Fund."
Mr. K F.Am rose, and in returning thanks spoke to the
folloa ing effect:—" In rising to address your Royal
Ilighness and this very brilliant assembly, I feel a ditfi-
deuce, which is, however, greatly overcome by the ac-
knowledged condescension of your Royal Higlinesi, and
the experience this Society have long had of ) our being
a sincere friend to the child of adversity—(Hear, hear).
This knowledge gives me a confidence in addressing
you to .v hick I would not otherwise presume ; it is not
but the cause, that speaks—(Cheers). That cause is
one to which those who contribute, contribute to miti-
gate the miseries of the unfortunate, and to dry,the
tear of real calamity. I am the more desirous of ad-
dressing a sew observations to you on the present occa-
sion, as I am on the eve of quitting my country—( Loud
cries of" No, no;' in which his Royal Highness joined),—
and necessarily the situation which I have the honour to
hold in this Institution. And the first observation I am
anxious to offer is, that of congratulation for the ad-
vantages we have experienced from the patronage of his
Royal Highness, which ha, raised our funds.from a
state of penury to one of comparative prosperity. The
year 1818 was the first hi which we had the honour of
his presiding presence, and from that moment our ad-
vancement has not only been progressive but rapid. I
perfectly recollect how dreary was then the prospect
before us ; the scanty annuities we then veer e able to al-
low the claimants on our Wads were necessarily reduced
from twenty to ten per cent. we heard complaints with-
out the means of relieving them ; we could only join
our tears with the tears of our unhappy brethren in
distress, and unite with them in the acclamations of
despair—(Cheers). But the patronage of his Royal
Highness came at a fortunate moment; it turned the
current of prosperity in their favour, and, like the sun
bursting through the gloom of desolation, dispelled the
vapours and restored the day—(lmmense ing). To
whatever part of the world I may be wafted, 1 shall
ever cherish, and bear in grateful remembrance, the
effects of his beneficent patronage over this Institu-
tion. It is not that he has been the protector of this
er that theatre, but that he has been to the national
drama a patron; and, '-hat is more valuable still, to
its members in distress a friend—(l-ourl Applawc).—
For these services he will receive a more precious e-
,vard and consolation than any r ra;•.e that I can bestow,
;n the tears of gratitude of thr-P whom his bounty has
relieved, which shall be to into a passport to that
where such deeds are recognized and rewarded.
To the Public, to whom the unhappy never plead in
vain,' this Institution is deeply indebted: their bounty
has enabled us to increase, at a larger rate even than
five per cent. the gratuities which the Institution be-
stows, and this too at a time when the number of claims
ants had been considerably augmented. The present
company w ill bear in mind, that, with an increase of
alina, a corresponding increase of resources is neces-
sary ; and indeed 1 am sanguine enough to hope, that,
hum the growing augmentation of bounties, this Insti-
!,.tion, at no distant day, will be able to give to the ye•

:erans of the drama a. full half of whit they enjoyed
whilst in actual service. I cannot forbear from alluding
to the marked deficiency of contributions on the part of
my brothers of the Stage.. They certainly have been
wanting; and as a stimulus to induce them tp 'support this
valuable Institution, I would refer them to a gloomy
catalogue of
.names who at one moment basked in the
sunshine of prosperity and public favour, and at the next
would have been hurled into the abyss of misery, with-
out a roof to shelter them, were it not for the beneficent
aid of this excEllent and most useful Fund (App lanse).
That is not the situation of us who are here to=day, but
it might become so—(Applause). The subscription of
an individual is trifling; but the aggregate of the sub-
scriptions, without injuring those of greater, greatly and
effectually contributes to relieve those of lesser fortune.
I need not hold forth a brighter example of imitation
than the distinguished founder of this fund (Mr. Gar-
rick), who was not more apt to represent " comic nrirth"
or " tragic woe" than he was ever ready to extend a
generous hand is the unfortunate, and anxious to place
A limitation to their distresses. ig The recording anger
has registered his good deeds in the mansions of the
blessed, and the members of his profession owe to his
memory an everlasting gratitude.—Mr. Kean, after a
few other complimentary allusions to the memory of
Mr. Garrick, concluded a very brilliant address, amidst
the loud and general approbation of the company.
" The Vice-Presidents."
Tlymks were returned, on their part, by the senior Vice. President.
" The Committee of Drury-lane."
Mr. CA LCRAFT, in returning thanks on behalf of the
Committee of D. ury-lane, felt that his duty was con-
fined within a very narrow limit. Indeed, after the
beautiful and eloquent address of his friend (Mr. Kean),
it would he unpardonable in him to trespass for any time
upon their attention. It was true, as :rad been stated
by his Honourable Friend., that the number of claimants
had increased; but it was also satisfactory to :eflect,
that the resources of the Institution had increased pro-
par tionably. His duty, as Chair man of the Corrimittee,
was trivial and iuco:rsiderable. It was however gra-
tifying to reflect upon, and to acknowledg the exten-
sive and liberal patronage which this theatre had re-
ceived. Indeed, with the exercise of such talent on the
part of the performers, and he would add, with the
exertion of such zeal, the manager might fairly calculate
on the continuance of such patronage—(/fear, hear.)
It was impossible for any person to speak on the present
subject without adverting to his Royal Highness, who
was so distinguished and liberal a patron of the national
drama. His Rayal. Highnels was not the partial friend
of one establishment, but the. general patron of both,
and he (Mr. Calcraft) felt an equal anxiety for the pro-
sperity of both, and an equal desire to promote their re-
' spective interests, for generous and fair competition was,
in Iris opinion, always beneficial. One tor ic had beers al-
luded to by his Honourable Friend (Mr. Kean) to which
he was desirous of reverting, namely, the announcement
of his intended departure from this country—(Flear);
that announcement filled them all, he was sure, with
great dissatisfaction and uneasiness; and no person, he
could assure them, with greater uneasiness and regret'
than himself. lie hoped he did not• mean to persevere
in that intention, •but if he did mean to persevere, he
trusted his absence would be only temporary, and that
he would soon return to his native country—(Applause).
He (Mr. Calcraft) could safely assure him, 'that, on his
return, he would be hailed with the same cordial 'greet-
ings and joyous welcome that awaited him on his late
return—(Cheers). As Chairman of the Drury-lane Com-
mittee, he would say, that his services were duly ap-
preciated, arid that his high name was not only sus-
tattled but enhanced iss their good opinion—(Applause).
This testimony, which he had hefo: c. borne to the merits
and talents of his Hon. Friend, he was now ready and
anxious to repeat in the fullest and most unqualified
terms of approbation—(hcar).
Mr. KEAN, as Treasurer of the Fund, then proceeded
to read the several donations. Amongst the list of
names we noticed that of his Majesty, 1051. the Duke
Yorkof 5O guineas ; Mrs. Coutts, b2l. 10s. the Mar-
quis of Lan-down 101. the Marquis of Stafford 101.
Lord Essex 101. the Chancellor of the Exchequer 101.
H. Seymour, Esq. 101. Dawkins, Esq. 101. &c. &c.
the whole amounting to 1,200/. which the Treasurer
announced to exceed by '2OOl. the collection of any for-
mer year. This announcement was received with great
applause, as was also the name of an American. Ge-
n,
denials, whose name we could not learn, and who con-
tributed 201. to the Fund. We also understood the
Treasurer to announce at the head of the list a legacy of
5001. bequeathed to the Charity by Mrs. Reid.
The Duke of YORK next gave,
" Success to the American Stage'—(Applause).
Mr. PRICE, in returning thanks, said that the cha-
racter of the American stage was so rapidly rising in
estimation, as would entitle its members shortly to take
their place amongst the artists of the day—(Hear).
Its present eminence and success were mainly attribu-
table to the employment of those who were most dis-
tinguished fur dramatic talent in this country, and as far
as lay in his power he had endeavoured to effectuate
that object. Besides the purposes of instruction and
amusement which were thereby attained,a more impor-
tant object was effected, namely, that by the common
admiration of the same talent, that friendship and at-
tachment would be cemented bet Ween England and
America, which it was the interest of the two countries
to cherish and maintain—(lramense Cheering).
The Duke of YORK next gave—
" The memory of Mr. Garrick.' " The memory of Mr.Kemble."
The Duke of YORK begged to propose the health of
a Lady, whose talent had been long the ornament of
the stage, and who, in her department of dramatic ta-
lent, was not inferior to either of the names he had
just mentioned—
" Mrs. Siddons."
Tile Duke of YORK, with the permission of the corns
pally, would propose the health of another Lady, who,
although she had retired, he was sure, to her own satis-
faction and happiness, had nevertheless carried with her
the regret of the present company and of the public, at
the withdrawal of those admirable talents from the ua-
tional drama, which they were all wont to admire.
" Becher"--( ApplAusv).
Mr. CALCHAFr, after having expatiated on the ad-
vantages of conyetition in the national drama, dis-
claimed a prefer e.ice of the interests of one establish-
ment over another, and enforced the propriety of every
man to contribute to the relief of the unfortunate
wherever the unfortunate were to be found, proposed—
Success to the Covent-Garden Theatrical Fund."
" The Ladies."—Sung, " I 'ere's a health to all good Lasses."
After this toast, the Ladies retired, and his Royal
Highness having proposed a few additional complimen-
tary toasts, wi:hdrew amidst the loud and congratula-
tory plaudits of the company. His Royal Highness
presided, during the evening, with great affability. and
address. He frequently took occasion in the course of the
evening to express the satisfaction with which be had

Watched the prop ei• ve improvement of the Institution,
and the pleasure he Would ever feel in proMoting its
interests. On his Royal
.Highness vacating the chair,
.
there was a loud Call fur " Mr. Kean." but that Gentle-
man had retired at the same time as the Duke of York.
His absence created considerable disappointmrnt in the
company, and, after a short delay, the chair was taken
by Mr. Ironmonger, proprietor of Drury-lane,. nude,
whose presidency the harmony of the entertztinmcnt
was admirably continued and preserved to an advanced
hour of the night.
Messrs. Wallack, Cooper, Gattie, Fitzwilliatn, an,•
several other performers, officiated as Stewards dining
the evening, and discharged their tninisterial duties most
efficiently and attentively.
