The transport' mentioned in one Paper of Wed-
nesday, as having come into Ramsgate harbour
to take troops on beard, have slate been ordered to
Dover. and sailed from hence this day. The re-
mainder of the transports expected here, will, of
course, repair also to Dover. as it appears that two
regiments ordered for embarkation, the dth and
:3111th, are now at Dever or in the neighbourhood of
that place; therefore, by their embarking at Dover,
will save a march and reit:mit% of baggage, &c.

LAUNC3 OF THE IMPUEGNABLE.

From the uncominun showery weather for these
ten dill past in this part of the county, it was sup-
posed that it would operate as • drawback on the
inweinblage of persona to witness the event ; but,
contrary to expectation, it was very numerous. At
eleven o'clock the great gates of Chatham-yard
were thrown open for admission. Great ndinbers
from ull, part. of the county, in chariots, post-
chaises, gigs, Sic. intermixed with the more humble
pedestrians, crowded for admittance. Very spaci-
ou. booths had been erected on each aide of the
ship, to accommodate the Lathes visitant on the
occasion, which, by twelve o'clock, were full in
the extreme with the fashion and beauty of which
this county can peculiarly boast. This River
Medway afforded au equal display in sailing.boats,
wherries, and boats of every dpeription. At twen-
ty minutes past one, the dokshoara were knocked
away, and every heart beat high in expectation of
the launch; but, like the rock from which she is
named as a simile—the impregnable fortress to our
enemies. Gibraltar—so stood she as fast. • At that
time there were five blocks ander her, and not tin-
ed they were entirely split away did she move. At
a quarter before two o'clock the last bloat was split
out, and she went off iu a majestic style.

soldier in the .inth Regiment, who was murdered,
with eircurostarces of much brutality, early on the
Sunday morning preceding, in an affray at the mune
house ; when, although the Jury sat from eleven in
the inorniug till note at night, during which many
witnesses. who were present at the time, were ex-
amined. yet the evidence was so vague aud con-
tradictory, that nothing could he discovered to
criminate any of the parties ; the Jury, in conse-
quence. after • consultation, found • verdict of—
seVfel murder dwainst awe ;maws or pertosts sot-
bums. A further investigation by the Magistrates

Several more it is thought will be apprehended.
