WEYMOUTH, MARCH 18.

Thursday evening, Lieutenant-Colonel TAYLOR and
the Officers of the 10th Regiment gave a most mag-
nificent Ball and Supper, at Radipole Barracks, to
upwards of 150 of the Nobility and Gentry of this
Town and the County of Dorset, and in that style of
elegance and profusion for which the Gentlemen of
this Corps have been so highly famed on similar oc- '
casions. Nothing could ei:ceed the grandeur with
which the Banquet shone. A temporary awning,'
which was composed of the colours of all nations,
was erected, and carpeted, formiug a communication
with the ball, card, and supper rooms. The grand
entrance was illuminated with a most hi illiant star,
adorned with evergreens, and the interior of dec awn-1
ing was emblazoned with upwards of one thousand
variegated lamps, fancifully entwined wi:h lattrA
under the direction of Mr. HAwKiNs, altogether p:•o-
-ducing a most enchanting effect. At the extremity
of the Ball-room was placed an elegant likeness of
his Royal Highness the PRISCV REGENT, over which
was painted a Plume of Feathers, accompanied with
an Insignia of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, !,
and the inscription, " leth (or Prince's Own Itegi-
ment) Royal Ilassars."—The copartments and the
floor were ornamented with emblematical trophics
and devices of war, Victory and Loyalty, most emi-
nently executed from the pencils of the Officers, and
highly appropriate to the actions of Morales de Tom,
Vittoria, the Peninsula, and Waterloo, in which this
b:•ave Regiment obtained such renown; to which was
added the following Motto: '6 Nec aspere terrenl."
The dancing commenced at half-past ten, and con-
tinued most merrily till half past one, when the com-
pany retired to the Supper-rooms; the sumptuous
display of which requires no further comment front
its, but to observe, that lIARDY, the Manager of the
Mess and the Fete, received universal and ju‘tly-
merited approbation, for the very splendid and bril-
liant arrangement of the tables, overflowing with
every choice wine and delicacy that could be pro-
cured here and from the Metropolis. The party did
not part till Aurora smiled and peeped into the room.

Lord COCHRANE, whose arrival at Valparaiso on
the 4th of December we yesterday announced, would
in a few days after, take on him the command of
the Chili squadron, consisting of a ship of 70 guns,
two of 50 guns each, with frigates, brigs, &c. amount-
ing in all to 13 sail, besides gun-boats. This naval
force is destined to escort and co-operate with the ex-j
pedition which General SAN MARTIN is to command
in an attack on Peru, for which every preparation
had been made. It was expected the VICUROY
would make his final stand within the walls of
Lima, a city built of light wooden and mud houses,l
in consequence of the frequency of earthquakes—
and for the object in view a large quantity of Con-
greve's Rockets had been procured, together with
men dextrous and experienced in their management.
The navigation from Chili to the point of disembar-
cation on the Peruvian coast, is not more than a week,
the currents and wind being always fair; it was there-
fore expected that the Anglo-South-American Ad-
miral would be in the wlters of the La Plata long
before the appearance of the Cadiz Expedition, in
which, no doubt, he will meet with some of his old
friends, and a further co-operating naval force.
The Supreme Director of the Buenos Ayres Pro-
vinces had met with an accident through the bursting
of his powder-flo4 in his hand, whilst on a shooting
party with some of his English friends. In consequence
of it, he had retired from office for two nionthb, and
General Ito:inentr had been named to act in his stead.
General BALCARCE had been sent to Santa to
quell a trifling commotion that bad broken out there.
The Portuguese had declared the river Uruguay in a
state of blockade. Mr. SARRATP.A, who for-
merly agent in this country, had been banished to
San Juan, 300 leagues in the interior, and a small
town near the Andes mountains, belonging to the
province of Cuyo.
The Canine frigate had arrived at Buenos Ayres
from England, to relieve the Amerrion, which ve,,sel
was to return home, bet Commodore BOWLES had re-
ceived orders to remain in command of the station.
When this measure was made known, it excited the
greatest joy and exultation, so general was the satis-
faction experienced by the impartial and judicious
conduct of that gallant Officer ; indeed, it was diffi-
cult to say whether his rema;ning at Buenos Ayres
was more agreeable to the Government and natives,
or to his own countrymen resident there. Trade was
dull, and this wax accounted for by the large ad-
vances of money made to the Government for t!:e
purposes of local defence, as well as the armament
against Peru, by which means a certain quantity of
circulating medium had for the moment been with-
drawn from commercial pursuits.

SHAE:
Sts—My hours are at t1;i: moment too much, a
proud to say, too well occupied, to be devoted to such
subjects as The Italians and its Author; but to confute
cious propagations emanating only from a corrupt heart
mind, I think it necessary to state, through the medium
Paper, that no such conversation c ver passed between 14
and myself as the public prints have specified, and
KsLt.', (whose talents I look on with enthusiastic admiratice.,
never was, to my knowledge, all-Anal any character in ✓
Mr. PETEII Mouse, one of the Drury-lane Committee,
with some ability, my personal compassion for Mr.
consequence of which, I undertook to act in his Play;
it been produced, should have dune my utmost to have
my duty to that public, whose name I teach my child ;
to whose protection my gratitude alone is due—and over ,
unp:ejudiced mind malevolence can never have an influence.
On reading the Tragedy of lien:aged Inicika (for that
name It was known by iu the Green !town) to my pmi
brethren, the only feelings it excited were uncontrollable
ter, :util pity for the Author. From this criterion, Ito
liberty of suggesting to the Management the impossibility
clueing a Play, which must have been attended with -
ble expense, when there was not in it one gleam of In
success. There is certainly some pretty poetry• in the
which was to have been sustained by Miss CIAITT ; .
that I will say, in good set terms, Mr. Waxes Tr.tged,
worst of the bad. In this opinion Tam joined by the •
the dramatic corps that were to have been concerned i
particularly by the present Acting Manager, ',show jiia
an artist, and conduct as a man, form an impregnable
in My defence. The publication of Deranged Inte.l.et
answer necessary to the Author's attack upon my judge,
for his inventive fabrication, I publicly tell him that
t.ttered one word of truth in the whole of Lis aspiri..,
thus leave hint to his contemplations, with disgust fin
hood, and pity for 619 fully.-1 have the honour to be,
