MILITABY TOUR. HYTEIE.—Some very important 'works, for the better proteaion of the town, on a scale of vast ex tent and magnitude, have been construing at this . place for a great length of time. They are already in a state of tolerable tOrwardness, and, when com •pleted, wilt et - Teat - rally insure us from all future alarm 06n the score of invasion. To convey a faint idea of the judicious measures which are now adopting, _it may not be unnecessary to.describe, for the benefit of 'thole who are unacquainted with the town, the man- Ti'tr in which it is built and situated. The cliff breaks away, Or beginS to fall back, about Sandgate. The holges here' are nearly a mile from the shore,. having before them an immense bed•of beach, which extends for a considerable distance, and fo:ms a vast plain of loose shingle. , This seems to prove, that the Meal recedes from some parts of our Coast; in the same degree, perhaps, that it trespasses-on others.— Thus, tor, several miles to the .westward, - are we to tally undefended by nature ; to supply which ,defect we. have - predently, of late, had recourse to art.-- Where Albion's proud turrets a& as a bulwark, we gave little occasion for•further security—but, where the Coast is • exposed and accessible, it hecomes ex pedient to adopt the, best possible means that Can be resorted to for its safety and defence. Three batte ries 'are erected .on the beach; in front of the town, at such distances as 'breach to cross the range of the ether's shot: -Thes4rts, whiCh are called Tots, Ea Airiland, and Moncrieffe, after the names of the . Ebgineers, who projetled them; arc mounted with several 'Pieees, Of heavy • artillefy, and are capable f containing two Companies each. In addition to iheso batteries; and betweeh them, are ere&ed some Martell() Towers, of precisely the same dimensions -With those to the Eastward of Folkstdne. A mill , tart''canal has likewise been recently cut, extending all through Roinney marshes, and forming a juntaion Irlith the harhour of Rye,, Withinside of the canal is formed a new road ; both of which run parallel -With the town, but between it and the, sea. In the eVent„ therefore, of the Enemy's having effe&ed a landing, 'he - Would be completely cut off from the town and the inferior. These are the principal measures of defence, of which this 'is but a sorry and inaccurate -description. ,It may be sufficient, however, to 'furnish the intelligent mind with some'. vague end imperfe& ideas on the subje6l.

Conti hued from the words—" Make his own security and that of his neighbours :his first objc:et." ' - ‘_ The French Emperor propased to Count HAUG WITZ a Treaty, in which was stipuldtecl on the one side, a mutual guarantee ofpossessions, the inviola bility of the Turkish territory, and the results of the Peace of Presburgh ; .and on the other, the taking possession of Hanover by Frugsia in return for the cession of three Provinces. The first part of this Treaty promised, at least, for the future, an acknowledged, guaranteed, and, if NAPOI4ON had so pleased, a firm political Constitu- tion. The results of the Peace of Presburgh were a general misfortune to Europe; but Prussia sacrificed' herself alone when she accepted them ; and, to place alimit to the incessant usurpations of France, should the Treaty he considered by .the Court of St. Cloud as any thing more than words, appeared an advantage. The King therefore ratified this article unconditionally. ' The second half of the Treaty of Vienna related to an obje&, the importance:of which had been ma nifested by serious experience. Prussia could not rely on security'for a moment so long as Hanover remained involved in a War in whiCh that Coun- I try had, in rata, no concern; At whatever .price it might be purchased, Prussia was resolved that the French should not . return thither. She had her choice to obtain this end either by a T reaty or' a War. The cession of three Provinces, which had been faithiltLand happy for a long series of years was a sacrifice not to be made for any plan of vain ambition.; but these Provinces, in case of a War, would have been the first sufferers : ail the cala, mities of that War would have pressed upon the M onarchy, while the' acquisition of Hanover,scould it have been made under less unhappy circumstances, would have been produBtive of the most valuable ad vantages to Prussia. The King, therefore, conceived that he recon ciled his wishes with Itis principles - when he ac cepted the proposed exchange, only under the con ditio9, that the fulfilment of the smile should be de ferred till the. General Peace, and that the consent of His Majesty the King of Great Britain should be' obtained. All the advantages of this Treaty were for France. On .the one side she received guarantees 'which put the seal on her conquests ; on the other, she gave what she did not possess, what. might be again con quered by the chances of an uncertain War, while in the cessions of Prussia she found the means of en riching her Allies.. • But between a policy which will do every thing in its, power, and an integrity which regards its du-, ties, and especially its promises, the contest is ever Unequal. The King approached the moment when he was convinced of this' by experience : this mo ment was the most painful of his reign., ,It was in the power of France to reje& the modifi cations under which the King had confirmed the Treaty, if she did not approve therii. But she avoided.. doing this ; for the whole Prussian Army was still under arms. She continued to be lavish of assurances of friendship—she fulfilled the Treaty as far as it suited her; but when His Majesty wished . to reap the only advantages which he had proposed to himself from the late Negotiations, and which was nearest his heart, she suddenly altered her lan gdage—the modifications added to the Treaty of Vielina Were' now rejeEted at Paris. Endeavours were Made , to force Prtissia into the most injurious Measures ; and wfien Cdunt HauowiTt, who vas at Paris, remonstrated against this, the micondi tiOnal fulfilment of tbe Tmity was hauggtili in sisted on, as were the immediate cession of the three Provinces, and _the recall ,of the Patent by which the occupation of Hanover was declared provisional. 'Prtissta was required to resign a Bart of the advaltages stipulated, and to shut her Ports against the British Flag in the same MariL , ner as if the French had relutted into the : Elec . ; torate. • ' The King at length was perfe&ly co'n'vinced of the true Charkter of. the friendship of the Eth peror of the French—a soporific draught -.for a Power which still 'feels .its own strength ; an in strurnent of degradation, and' finally of subjedion, ‘ to every Power which no longer possesses strength. In the Mean time NAP . OI.3OIsI was in possession •of . every advantage.

It emu-. menced A break of day, and continued, •withoUt the parties closing, until the principal part' upon each side were wounded and disabled. The one party had 'the superiority, in number, but were - yt greater stifferers.than their. adversaries ; for the other, as it is stated to us, procured as an auxiliary, a soldier, who Was: a deserter, whose services they purchased for two guineas ; and this man; resting his piece, upon a bank, unerringly brought down the man he aimed at,' and he was generally polnied out to him for his strength or resolution.

The King commiserated the unfortunate Princes who suffered by these transa6tions, but he pitied not less those who had suffered themselves to be lord . by the hope of gain, and he would reproach himself; should he increase their unhappinessby judging them with•toO great severity. Deluded by the reward of their compliance, probably forced to obey comniands which admitted of no oppdsition, or, if surpriSed into consent, Sufficiently punished by their acquisi tions, and by being reduced to a state of vassalage as harsh and degrading as their former relations were b6nourable, they deserve not to be treated by Ger many with the utmost rigonr.
