The bt iga had previous. ly formed line in readiness to receive him, and presented arms. Immediately on his arrival, after shouldering. the General paned in front and rear. The diferent regiments then marched by in open and close order. after which, they performed a number of ma envies and evnlutions. *id% a promptitude and exadness refleSing the highest credit on their discinline.

This day a Deputatinn from the Merchants waited upon him with the Con gratulation of their Body upon his arrival ; and to request, that he would receive the only testimone of their regard, and of the pablie sentiment, which could he expressed, for his chandler, during the short period of his reaming here, an invitation to dinner.

Sir John Newport signified his cor di.l acceptance of their invitation, and fixed to morrow ; and, we understand, an entertainment is in preparation at the Sash Tavern, suitable to the dis tinguished cha:after of the guest. The Mayor end Sheriffs, us the full designation of their reepedive Offices, also waited upon the Irish Chancellor. The Mayer, in handsome terms, ex pressed his concern, that Sir John Newport's visit was se extremely limited ; and signified what grati fi,ation it would give him, to pay every deference to a Gentlemen whose charaler was so bigh in his estimation, and whose eminent public services to his country claimed for him the regard of every li,aeral end patriotic Irishman.

IVILITART TOUR TIMOUGA KENT. (No. DOTER. OCT. 15. The defence of this town is confided, at pr , seitt, to the following regiments of M , li;i4, under the command of Major General Lord Forbes, viz.:— The tit Royal Surrey, th• Esser, the Cornwall Miners, the South Lincoln, the Renfrew, and the fife ; besides strong detachments of artillery, engi neers, artificers, and drag ions. l'he works of the Garrison are completed; and this formidable lot tress is now in the best possible state of security.— The fortifications on the Western I - Lights, continue to be carried on with great spirit and aiivi:y. I'n attempt a description of them, would not only prove an arduous task, but, for obvious reasons, might alse be deemed an improper one. Suffice it to say, that these hills, which command t..e Castle, an I from whence a bombardment might heretofore have been effrflually dire&ed against u, ire remitted at length it. impregnable, is to hid defiance to any force drat could be possibly brought to rake possession ot ti-em. The Citadel is protitded by inaccessi ble outworks, has MI ample supply of fresh water, and is mounted with several pieces of very heavy ordnance. The port of D ver, therefore, a. wail by nature as art, may now be considered (as, from its vicinity to the enemy's coast, it should be ), one of the strongest maces in the United Kingdom. But to the Eastward of the Castle, there appeals to be some high ground, surmounting the turret, which, 1 . 1 to make assurance doubly sure," ought either to be levelled or defended. The long meditated plan for cutting a new harbour, is intended to be speedily carried into eteentinn ; as also several other pro. posed alterations and improvements in the town. FOLKSTON!, OCT. 16. The Martello tiwers, so forcibly urged and recom mended by Mr. Windham for the better defence of the most exposed pans of our coast, commence within a mile of this place, where three of them are 'ceded, in an angular position. Tese towers, for the information of such as may have never had an opportunity of seeing them, it MT net be unintereszing to state, are nearly of the following feria and description:—They are pertenly circular in their shape, with two small windows, and a single door. They present a blank to the sea, the side ot which is presumed to be exposed to the enemy, the door being inland, and the windows in lateral dwell ons, opposite to each other. They are about SO fret hip, and it , messhat broader at bot tom coati top. Fite demi is situated mid-way, be tween the summit and base, and is strongly secured with co, p r fastenings.

The Society for the Soppressinn of Vice having discovered that die Publicans in Keirehtsbridge con doned their houses in 3 very disorderly menaer on Sundays, made complaint to Mr. Boats, who very laudably exerted himself to prevent their continuing inch disorderly meal, but without effed ; the So ciety, therefore, employed a person to lay informe tions against tour of them. Yesterday they at tended, in consequence, before Mr. BOND, when it being clearly proved that two of them kept open Meuse' during divine service on Sunday, they were eon ailed in the penalty of five shillings each, and three shillings costs. It not being proved against the other two, they were d stherged. The worthy Maumee AT a told them, if Oats did not r •form, he should advise their houses bitimg in dieted as disorderly.

No trace could be fouo I of the robbers, except the hole being Cu: in the area doer, beer the bolt, by wnich it was supposed they had entered the house. —Mrs. Bannerman gave novice, on Wedneelay morning, to Merlbotoueh street Office, and Gold smiths' Hall, and offered a reward of 1001. on the commitment of the offender. On Thursday morning she gave information at this °See, when Riveit Red Pearkes were dis patched to examine the premises. The Officers, after examining the premises, the servants. and those conneded with them, were of opinion the servants should be examined before a Magistrate ; and yesterday they brought the lady's maid, the cook, and her husband, the housemaid, and the under butler, before Mr. BOND, who very much exerted himself in examining them separately. The result was, that the plate flaying been stolen from the pantry where the under butler slept, which was a very small room, -t small saw being found in his hot, with fresh sawdust on it, and a variety of other suspicious citcumstences appearing, Mr Bolen ordered him to be detained in custody. • The account he gave of the saw was, that he brought it from his last place.
