1610EXING Or THE WET DOCK AT LtITA.
•. On Tuesday the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and
Council of this city, and a numerobs company of
ladies and gentlemen, met at the Assembly Rooms,
Leith, and about three o'clock moved in procession
to the Ferry-boat-stain, preceded by a band of
musk, where two very fine smacks, decorated with
the colours of the dill:rent European nations, lay
ready to receive them.
The Magistrates and company having gone on
board, a gun WAS fired as a signal to unmoor, when
the vessels proceeded towards the Dock. and at
twenty minutes past three, the lift:bier, belonging
to the Union Shipping Cismdaey ervered, followed
by the Berel,ese, belongs:{ tote Edinburgh and
Leith Shipping Company, ariial.t the reiterated
acclamations of an immense number of spectators,
and repeated discharges of artillety from the fort
at Leith, His Majesty', ships of war in Leith Roads,
and guns stationed on the grays the dock.—
Ile two vessels were attended by the barge of
Admiral Vashon, commanding on this station.
with that of Mr B. use, of the naval yard, and se-
veral others, all manned by their respective crews,
and finely decorate.] for the occasion, and fol-
lowed by anotbensmack belonging to the Union
Shipping Company, and a tine brig called. the Pea-
chit, belonging to Mr. John Hay.
The two smacks were aftei wards moored en the
South side of the Dock, when tne Led Provost and
Magisnates were addressed by ihelderer of the
Merchant Company as follows :

The Company afterwards returned to the Assists-
bly Rooms, where an elegant entertainment bad
been prepared, and the evening we; spent with the
utmost conviviality.
This dock, the first of the kind in North Britain,
has been wholly executed within high water mark,
which added greatly to the difficulty and expellee
of the undertaking. The space occupied by Lee
Jock is above five acres, but, including the ground
on its sides and ends, upwards of fifteen acres have
hero taken from the sea ; on these parts it is pro-
posed to construn graving docks, -building slips,
sheds, and warehouses.
The sea wall of this dock being exposed to the
accurnuiated swell from the German Ocean, re-
quired to be very strong ; it is accordingly one of
the strongest pieces of masonry we have even, and
is wholly composed of large Ashler stones, from a
quarry at Rosptb, belonging to the Earl of Hope-
tett*, laid in a mortar of pozzolano. The stones
en the outside of the wall are bound together by
chain-bars of iron, inserted in the different courses
horizontally, and conceded by vertical bars of the
same metal; thus uniting the whole in one com-
ernes mass. The binding the work in this manner
with iron was a very necessary measure, as during
the building of the wall, it frequently happened. thus
stones of several tons wet were displaced by the
heavy eastern swell. quay wails, and those
of the entrance lock, are also fuse Massy pieces of
masonry, and the whole are so construaed. that
every stone forms part of an arch.
This dock is only the first part of a most magni-
ficent plan, extending to Newhaven. where the
principal entrance is intended to be made to the
largest dock. which will have depth of water sof-
fineot to contain frigates of the first size ; and the
whole, when completed, will form one of the fines:
rules of docks in the world.
Ihe present dock. and other works connected
with it, hare occupied five years in the seventies,
the first stone Laving been laid on the 14th May
1301, under the Magistracy of Sir William Penes,
who has also had the singular good fortune to see
the work fiuished, and to preside on the present
occasion.
The plans of this work are the production of Mr.
John Rennie, of London, civil engineer, and they
have been executed under the superintendence of
Mr. John Paterson.
A guard of the Argyleshire, Aberdeenshire, and
Galloway militia, lined the streets, and kept the
quays of the docks ; aad it gives us much pleasure
to add, that no accidet.t happened on the occasion.
The business commenced yesterday, in the new
Wet Dock, at, Leith, which was opened on Tues.
day. The Edinburgh and Leith Shipping Com-
pany's smack Ifee.aret, from London, James Myths
Master, arrived in Leith Roads on Tuesday after-
nano, shortly after the procession at opening the
Dock ended. Upon her arrival in the Roads see
fired a salute, which was returned by toe Itsere.rh,
one of the same compeny's vessel'. W illiam Kei-

sorrow, AfRIL
A letter from Jodie Rodney, dated Natchez, Fe:
bruary I stli, 1806, abate* in substance, that the Spa.
Irish Governor„-and his people, having been ordered
to desist from their survey*, and to quit the Ame-
rican territory, had resisted. but were compelled to
retire—that colleiting a reinforcement of 500 horse,
they returned two days afterwards, when an aition
ensued between them and the American troops un-
der Captain Porter, in which the Spaniards were
beaten, and again forced to retire.
B 7 a gentleman lately arrived at Charleston. from
Africa, we are informed, that war has raged oa the
banks of the Senegal, for some time past, between
the natives and the French. The Jaloffs, who in-
habit the coantry between the rivers Senegal and
Gambia. are an alive and warlike people. They
are divided into several clans, and are frequently at
war with each other. They are supposed to be
among the handsomest negroes of the western coast.
The French have had, for many years, a settlement
at the mouth of the river Senegal, from whence
they carry on a considerable trade of slaves, gum.
&c. The Governor's name is Blanchard—Alima-
mi, the King of the Jaloffs, had imposed a certain
duty upon all veitels belonging to the French fac-
tory which traded up the river, and double that duty
for themselves—This fraud was detailed by the
King, and a war ensued in consequence of their
perfidy.
The French sent a pandering expedition up the
river against the Jaloffs, which returned with a con.
slerable number of slaves, icc. This emboldened
them to a new attempt; which likewise sncceded in
obtaining a number of slaves, but not satisfied with
this. the commander landed his men, and marched
them into the country. The Jaloffs surrounded and
butchered nearly the whole of them.
This was a dreadful catastrophe to the inhabitants
of the French colony, for Governor blanchard had
taken from every wonias who had two sons. one of
them. foe this expedition, and out of the whole num-
ber, not mare than two or three returned alive.
The mar contianed when our ioformont left the
