HULL GARRISON,

'BY ieferfnce to manuscripts belonging to the
Garriion, and a comparison thereof with the pre_
. sent strength of this important fortress,. :we find
thAt the quantities of ammunition and ordnance
stores now in the Citadel are greater than at any
period during the whole of the last century.—
There are in the magazines some millions of ball
cartridges for the service of small arms {besides the
6o rounds per man which have already been delivered.
to the Troops of the Line.) . Above sOOO stand
of arms baire been -fm fished within the course of
the-last two months, to the Supplementary Militia
and Volunteer Corps within the East and . West
Riding of the Yorkshire District j and !several
thousands more in store, held in perfett 'readiness
to bedelivered in such quantities as future occur.
rences may render necessaty.. 'Great numbers .of
pikes may he daily expeeted to arrive, • for the use
of Volunteer Corps,-and the Levy es masse.

In addition to the above, we have to notice a
detachment of the Royal' Artillery, commanded by
Capt. Itt‘arritiars, and stationed in the Garrison-;
it consists of about zoo Artiilerymen,,with 20 rank
'and file of the,Royal'Angiesea Fuzilears•as addi.

for the Volunteers. In' the course of last week,
great quantities of intrenching tools also arrivettiat
the garrison for the use of the Military- to" be,em.'
ployed in this I)istria;',should the 'Enemy have the'
temerity of making an attempt at the execution. of
his insolent threats,

The troops of the line at present in Hull and .Be.'
verley consist of Gut. regiments, amounting to
about 4000 men ; they are the 24 West York, the
Durham and. Cumberland, and' the Warwickshire
Supplementary Regiments of Militia; the first divi.
sion of the latter of which, under the command of'
Lieutenant-0)1mA SKIPWITII, arrived here on
'Friday the 14th instant, and the seconcVdivision on
Saturday, from Doncaster—the whole of which
force, together with the artillery, have express or.
tiers to hold themselves jr) readiness to march at a
moment': flake to any part.of the coast.
A-battery is now erecting at Paul Point, in Hol.
derness, and two others on the opposite shore in,
Lincolnshire, for the prote4tion of the Humber, ar.o
the annoyance of the enemy ; on which cannon
be mounted in the course of a very short tirne.
These batteries are of a -circular or half.moon for.
maims, with traversing platforms are so eon.
strueled, as to at upon shipping, within Elicit reach,
in any position or situation to which vessels may be
changed. •
We learn that three signal houses are to be in).
mediately crated on the Holderness coast ; one
each at Dimlington and Horns% and another on
Flamborough Head.

The Officers under the command of General
LeNtrox, and several others, have established a
convivial institution at Brighton, 'under the title Of
The Brigade Cl 6. They have-already' signalized
themselves by copious vollies of grape.
Ofi Monthly se'nnight the Magistrates of
burgh convened before them all the'Deder/ in Beet
Steaks in that city, when it was found that they '
bought from the lloteheis by batch weight, and sold
to the Public by English. Several of them were ip
consequence fined.
if the Waternielf were to he Lail as insolent to
the French as the) generally arc to their Passengeri,
they
might very properly be employed in defending
the Tbamet.
As REYNOLDS has 'thought proper to entitle his
new Comedy Three per Cent:, we siricerely hope

day, when the Loup ‘l‘,./IAyoR passed in procession
from the 'Mansion House to St. Paul's. The fury
of the mob was such, that they were going to de.
molish the windows, had it not been toe the timely,
interference of some G'entlemen, and the shutters
being iautiedjacely shut IT.
