This well-frequented watering-place is thinning
apace. The bleak Easterly wind-, which have lately
prevailed, have deprived us of our company most
amazingly. Notwithstanding the dryness of the
weather, and the attraftion of the Military Bands,
our visitors continoo to desert us daily. The warm
Cats ate partial to their fire-sides, ai i have had a
favourable gale for 'Change Alley, far'everal. days
past. Three of the Packets, and a prooorionate
number of the extra Coaches have already &soon
timed so go to and fro ; and thoso that persevere,
dispiay but "a beggarly account of empty" sees. In
the enure of another week, the remainder of the
Hoys wit be laid up in ordinary, and the rest of the
Stages that run for the season, will cease their ope-
rations soon afterwards, so that we shall soon be left
a prey to ennui and spleen.

On Monday, General Hill's Brigade, consisting of
the 9th, 14th, and 91st regiments of the line. were
reviewed by General Ludlow (who commands
the dis•ria,) on the Heights, in front of the camp.
The General,. attend. -d by General Lord Forbes.
and General Hope, with a nemerous train ef Staf
°Seers, made his appearance on the ground,
about half past eleven. 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. The 9th took the right
of th•• line, 91st (a Highland regimen.) the centre.
and the 14-h, the left ; the whole being preceded
by a s•rong detachment of artill ry. The day was
remirk Ably fine, w;:ich attraSed a crowd of
vi-
who seemed highly delighted with the mili-
tar,' spetlacle. This brigarle is composed of every
fine body of men, in eve-v way efficient. and ready
for afloat service. The encampment. .t is thought,
will Steak up towards the end of the month, and
go into cantonments toy the winter. unless pre-
♦iously sent ant",ad.

Yesterday, the /tight Hon. Sir Jolts Nes/Terri
Chancellor of the Irish Exchequer, arrived at
Scraggs's Hotel, in this city. 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.
UN to fix a day when he would honour them with
*company. 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.

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.

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. They are entered by means
ef a scaling ladder, whieti is attetward• drawn up.

cookeries, sleeping-rooms, and every other n cessary
convenience. they are mit usually crated on ele-
vated situations, but rather on plains. Their 171-cu-
liar properties seem to be, the difficulty of din Sing,
with sin% any shot against them, which, if not hit
point blank, must, (ions their rotunitty, be gtarced

sess of working their own guns, in all &cabins, by
means of rir Cada, traversing platlottus. Phis iiin-
perfat aceount is not professed to be given from en
acearite inspeaion of them, but merely from a cur-
ets" view. auwithstanchng, perhaps, it may en-
able you to forma tolerable idea .f this new species

T:lis little retired spot ha. a n been without its
