Cootte seemed to have had an aa'tlitiottal cap of the tnek which so strongly, appeared in his itaistrrif on Saturday. He might, perhaps, think it necessary, as he was suddenly transported tram regions of f irs to encouuter "a nipping and an eager air," to guard himself against told, ,by a corolial glass.

There were present the Duke of Cumberland's, the Artillery, the First Surtey, the Bishopsgate, the North . Briton' Carps of Riflemen, with the Light. Compaay of the• Prince of Wales's,, or St. Martin's Corps. They . had scarcely arrived at Tower Hill When - thare came 'on, a very heavy shower of rain,'which coMpelledthem,' after enduring it for some time; to seek shelter.' Towards nine o'clock the weather became some what serene, and the embarkation took place. It was a sight as interesting as it' was novel. The Boats of the River Fencibles were filled "with not less than two hundred and 'siktYßiflemen, and forty of 'the Prince of Wales's Light Infantry. They proceeded two abreast down the River, the Gun. boats firing Salutes.aa they passed. the .King's Ships. The rain had ceased, and the Troops reached Wooi. wick Warren in high The Light Conal'a ny of the Gravesend Volunteers, were waiting for them ; and when. the debarkation had taken place, the plan of attack and defence was arraoged by. the Officers. The Doke of Cumberland', Sharp-shooters, -under Captain BARBER, and the Graveled Liht Infantry marched torwatd , and took possessio n of all the heights abaut Hanging Wood. The /Vail. Bishopagate, and First Sorrey,. with the Sr. Martin's, proceeded by different direaions in order to drive them from their strong pasitions. At this moment the rain began to descend in torrents, and in a few minutes every Company was as wet as if they had swam across.the Thames , It was hardly possible even to secure the Rifle-pieces, from the effeels of the shower, which continued without in 'tertnission for nearly two hours. The atisailants *had discovered the Enemy, and an adive fire was kept up. The scene ,of anion was changed alter. nately from one spot to anothei, with the celerity peculiar to Troops of that description. The fight was maintained with vigour an both sides, as far as ,King John's Corner at Charlton, where there was a general halt. The Gravesend Company left the crther Corps anti returned home. 'The Duke of Cumberland's advanced a 'considerable way, occa. aionally skirmishing till. they came to Blackheath. The other Companies pursued them, and having drawn up in line, extended nearly over the Heath. Platoons were sent forward, with a view to surround the Enemy, but the latter kept their gratin& The firing in advancing' commenced, and upon this oc. casion the Rifle Campanies evinced that sort of re- gularity and steadiness which would have become older soldiers. The 'Prince' of Wales's Company merited every encomiums; The grand attack was made opposite the Green Man, where at last the Duke of Cumberland's Sharp Shooters, overpowered by perseverance and oumberi,' were Obliged to yield. Fatigue and hunger by this time prevailed, and the contending armies filed into the Green Man Tavern,' every room'of which 'they occupied: TUey dined upon the provisions they had brought in their havers: sacks, and regaled themselves with whatever the house ifforded: The inconveniencies they had taioed from the 'weather was soon forgot, an d mirth and festivity prevailed. Having rested near an hour and a half, the bugle was sounded, .and, the whole of the Troops prepared to return. As it was now so late, and the day was drawing in, it want not thought advisable tryhave aay more skirmish. ing, particularly. as the service of, the morning had been so,uncommonly arduoiis ; they tkreforemarch. ed towards home, and arrived soon, after dark: Up .on eke whole, the .Expedition was gratifying,- and eminently calculated to improve the Troops. .Had the day bean fine the spettacle would,have (seen ex tremely splendid.
