[The following De: eri of Cibral tar is extralcd rrrti, a
Letter received it G;cewiek, on Wednesday la,t, 'iv the
Commerce, Lou from a Gentlemin late of lira 'ov,.a.;
" Gitraltar Rock, ineludini, the toxirn,
goes by that-name, and which besides the Mil tau,
contains at present about 7000 inhabitants, extends
from thebarrierguard on the North, to Europa Poiat on
the South, about three miles in a dire line ; but by
the line Wall, which runs along the sea, and in front
of this traft, the extreme length is abnve four miles,
This line wall, or western barrier, is strongly fortified
all along, and has constant guards of five to six hun-
dred men on the list, of whom there are about fifty
on regular sentry on the wall and magazines, 64:c.
within. The ToWn, situated on the northern ex-
trernity of the Rock, and all inclosed by strong walls,
is About of a Mile long, and 1. broad,. having two
main or ,principal streets nintiing parallel N. and S.
and several lanes across.. Few or none of the build,
ings are elegant, but several of them are airy and
cernmcxlions, with gardens adjoining. The Gover
nor's house, formerly a convent, is a huge inelegant
Mass, but the fl ii are numerons and con-
venient ; the public ones large and spacions. At-
tached to it is a large garden, well laid out in the
English taste ; in this garden there is a Military Pro-
menade on Sunday evening, where tea, coffee, and
music are enjoyed through the libertlity and
ness of gerieral'Vox. Besides this ;weekly amuse-
' Meta, he gives halls and concerts occasionally.
" The other public Aittildings ,in the town are
the Spanish Church, Etigli,d, Church, two *Syna-
togues, Barracks for about 6000 troops, stOreS, and
bakehoitses, whence the Military are weekly supplied
with their rations of salt provisions, bread, &c. ;

sterling, for the use of the Officers, who,, by entry
money and annual payment, are remarkably Well
supplied with books ; the number already exceeds
1,700 volumes,. The houseis divided into a Library
Room and Printing Office on the first floor, and the
second floor into two handsome apartments as read-
ing rooms, having a large balcony. There is •a plot
of, ground attached, now laying out' as a gar- ,
den and walks. In the Printing Piljee,, a weekly
Paper is published, and is tolerably well supported.,
The Theatre is but small 'and 'paltry; plays. are,
w ) ever, frequently performed by some of the
Officers,
"The tract cir distria,extending from the southern
wall, a boundary of the, town, is covered all over,
with buildings, gardens, and vine-yards halfway. up
to the top of thefrom Roek ; and the sea has a Very
pleasant plaureSque appear:Mce, Itcontalnaßarracks
and Sheds to aorointriodat 4000 troops ; it also,,
cOntains' the Nirtral ,and Dock:;yard, hLwidsome
IlowitA, Naval and Military, and Artillery StoreS
and Magazines ; likewise .a large Tank or Reservoir,
capable of holding a million of gallons, Or near 4000
tons .of water, from which shipping are very
conveniently supplied. This water, as well as that
Winch supplieS the town, is concluded by pipes
front the suntinit of the Rock, during . the rainy sea-
son in Oilober and NoveMber, into large wino:4l6ls, -
And from thence into different wells, whence the,
Military quarters and inhabitants are daily sup-
plied by mules and water carriers. , Immediately
adjoining the town is the Grand Parade, from
whente the -respeaive guards, are distributed every
morning to the different posts.
In this district are also the difrinent ceme-
triesfor Officers, Soldiers, Catholics and Jews, 'se-
parately, a»d which enriches the water, the princi-
pal aqueduct s being immediately below. To these
receptacles of the dead, last year's contagion added'
nearlYl 000 of the Military, and about 4000 of the
inhabitants, betwixt .the middle of e Septinber and
_ the end oflinuary. At present the Garrison is very
healthy, and exCepting the dreaf,l which a late cala-
inky naturally impresses npon the mind, there seems
'no cause to fen. a return.
