BRIGHTON, Auc. 26.

THE weather, which has for some time been un.
commonly fine, has completely changed, and is now
become so extremely cold and boisterous, that for
the last two or three evenings, the Steine has been
nearly deserted.

Mr. and Mrs. POPE are performing here with
great eclat ; they appear tonight in the Charatters
of Charles Surface and Lady Teazle.
The prat-lice of Smuggling, which during the
War was nearly suppressed on this Coast, has re.
commenced with redoubled vigour, and is carried
on with a degree of boldness, and to an extent,
that is astonishing.

This place still continues uncommonly full, though
the company is not quite of so fashionable a descrip-
tion as formerly ; there are not many families of
distinction here. The Pa tzic Eis expeded back in
a day or two.

The news from Lisbon yesterday, occasioned
great uneasiness in the City, and as it was Settling
Dal for Coneoh, and the Funds were heavy, it
had a considerable effect in assisting their depres-
sion. Several Defaulters were yesterday declared,
some of them men of respetlability in the Stock
Exchange.

On Tuesday forenoon Sir WILLIAM RULE, Sur-
veyor, and Commissioners Tucx ER and HAR-
MOOD, of the Navy, paid a visit to the Royal
Naval Hospital at Plymouth, for the purpose of in-
speEting it.
Earl ST. VINCENT, Capt. MARKHAM, and Mr.
GARTHSHOR E, Lords of the Admiralty, with Ge.
neral BENTHAM, Mr. MARSDEN, Secretary, and
Sir A. S. HAMOND, Comptroller of the Navy, ar-
rived at Plymouth Deck on Tuesday last about noon.

On Wednesday there was to be held in tho
Dock.yard a full Board of Admiralty and of
the Navy, when several Plans for the improve_
ment of Cawsand Bay and tile Dock-yard, parti-
cularly a Pier in the former Bay for the security of
the Shipping in violent S.W. winds, were to be
considered. There is also a Plan for a Wet Dock,
to receive Men of War rigged. The inspcaion of
the Dock-yard, Vidualling,Office, the Brewery,
and Ships in Ordinary, was likewise to take place.
Their Lordships will stay a week or ten days at
furthest. On their Lordships arrival, Major-Ge-
neral BowATER immediately sent a Captain's Guard
of Royal Marine Grenadiers to attend on them.
His Lordship thanked the Officer, but politely dis_
missed the Guard.---Tomorrow Earl Sr. Vt??..
CENT holds a Naval Levee at the Fountain, Dock,
which will be fully attended by all the Naval Offi_
cers and Officers of Royal Marines-at that Port.
On Monday Lord • NELsoN received the Free-
dom of the City of Hereford. He arrived in the
City soon after twelve o'clock, from Mr. WEST-
PH ALEN'S seat, near Ross, accompanied by Lady
HANII LTON, and Sir W ILL I Am., and his nephew,
(Mr. NELsoz.z.).

As soon as his Lordship's carriage approached
the town, the populace took the horses from it,
and drew it to the Hotel, where he was received by
the Duke of NoR.FoLx, who is the Recorder of
Hereford.

From thence they proceeded to the Town,liall,
the music of the H-refordshite Militia playing
" See . the C,pici,ieriog Hero comes!" His Lord-
ship here received the Freedom of the City, deli-
vered in a box cut from the Apple.tree, which is
emblematic of the County and City. The Ad,.
dress was couched in a stile of extraordinary pa-
negyric on his Lordship's Services. His Answer
was expressed in terms of great modesty : his Lord-
ship. acknowledged he had been a fortunate Com.
mander, but what merit he might appear to he
entitled to, was much 'more due to the brave Of-
ficers and Seamen which the government had
placed under his command. To their steady bra.
very and good condua, was the Nation indebted
for the many eminent services which had been
rendered to it. The p city had favoured his en.
deavours, and in that he placed his greatest re-
liance. Should the Country ever again be in the
situation to demand his services, his whole life
would be devoted to it. From the spirit that he
had witnessed in the ppiple during his present tour
through a part of England, he was confident the
Nation had only to be true to itself to defy all the
world. - •

After the ceremony was concludecir bis Lordship
went to visit Hereford Cathedral, a about two
o'clock set off for the seat of Lvey,:KNIPH r, Esq.
near Ludlow.

General LASNE-S •i no great favourite with the
Chief Consul of France. In fart, we believe he was
sent to Lishon rather in disgrace. The General
was probably tired of his banishment, and availed
himself of the first pretext for putting an end to

GARRISON ORDERS.

Fort St. George, mi., tSQ2,

" In seeing His Majesty's Scotgh Brigade, Lord CLII,•E
was prepared to make due allowances for the late disperszd
state of the Corps, and the large proportion of Recruits of
which it is at present composed: but his Lordship had great
satisfaaion in witnessing this morning a performance which
would have done honour to the oldest Soldiers, and the most
ample preparation.

" The whole Review was 'executed in a style of uniform
correctness, which renders it equally difficult and unneces-
sary to particularize the points which were most entitled to
approbation. And his Lordship is happy in this opportunity
of testifying his high sense of the Credit which is due to the
ConduA of Lieutenant-Colonel Mc NR o, and to the atten-
tion, steadiness and order, of the Officers and Men of this
respectable Corps."

The Right Hon. the Governor was so well
pleased with the appearance of the Scotch Brigade
yesterday morning, that his Lordship ordered se-
veral hogsheads of ale to be distributed to the Men
as a mark of his private approbation. All the
Officers afterwards dined with his Lordship.
