THE MARINES.

As the Marines, landed at Plymouth, from the
different men of war, paid off at that port, will be
more in number than their own barracks will hold,
the overplus are to occupy the Mill Barracks, near
the Mill Prifon, by leave of the Tranfport Board,
till the general dilcharge takes place, and the peace
eflablifliment of that valuable corps is fettled.—
The regulations for the (hips to be laid up in ordi-
nary there, and at the ports to the eallward, will
be upon a very liberal and executive Icale, and
will produce a great faring to Government, while
the men of war will be kept properly dean and
ventilated, and a report be made of their (late and
condition, weekly, to the Port Admiral there. The
men of war are to be divided into divilions of Ilx,
a Captain to have the command of each divifion ;
and on board each lhip there are to be a Lieute-
nant, Midfhipman, and fea.men in prportion. It
is alto Paid a larger number of frigates will be kept
up, and not to many guardfliips.

We hear of nothing but fetes and mafked balls
in honour of the Peace, whenever tlu.- Ratification
arrives, which cannot be delayed longer than Mon-
day or Tuefday. For the fire time, we 111.111
a kind of Carnival in London.

On Monday next a very Grand Proceffion will
take place at Coventry. The public rejoicing on
the return of Peace being fixed for that day, the
Mayor and the different Corporate Bodies will pa
rade the areas, with their firemen; and other in.
fignia. In the evening the city will be illuminated:

According to letters from 15ereford, Mr. KIN•

In an Edinburgh paper of the 7th inf. is an ad-
vertifement of a bode king broke into, and offering
a reward of Forty Guinea: for apprehending the of-
fender or offenders, who had Alen a leg of bed', with
tome other articles, and carried e. a fear gander and
go j, both of a remarkable age, king near to 5o *ears.
The following is the moll ridiculous wager we
have heard of :—Two Noble Lords, well known
on the Turf, have agreed to run againli each other
the firfi windy day on Hamfflead Heath. The one is
to wear jack boot:, and to run backward:, againft the
other, who is to carry a large umbrella over his
head, and to run forwards.—They are both to run
againft the wind.
It is not furprifing to hear of young Lords walk-
ing backward:. It is their ufual mode when they
let out to improve themfelves.
A marvellous letter from Surinam Rates, that
Capt. Brown, of the sth battalion of the both re-
giment, being out on a {hooting party upon the
Surinam river, taw a large lhark near in fli-me,
which he (tot at with a bow and arrow. The fiat
was evidently [truck, and went down, and the
next morning it was feen in a wounded Rate dole
in Ihnre ; on which boats went off and brought it
in and killed it ; and on opening it, to the alio-
nifhment of Capt. Brown,and a confiderable num-
ber of people, there was found in the ftomach a
woman, genteelly dreffed, and entire, except her
head, which had been evidently fevered from
the body.
A Correfpondent, who fays he was prefent in
Surinam river when the aforefaid lady was refcued
from the maw of the (hark, allures us farther, that
the was alive at the time, and in the all of eating
a piece of plum cake which (he had found by
chance in her pocket ; adding, that when he left
Surinam the was quite well, and had, fince her
efcape, been brought to bed of a fine boy, whom
the had chriftened Jonah !
PARISIAN FASH lows.—An account of fafhions is
fometimes old before it fees the light, notwithfland-
ing the expedition ufed in its preparation. For in.
Rance, we had allured the public that fa(hion had
fixed leven, as the number of buttons on the lapels
of a Gentleman's coat.—Good ! At the very mo-
ment we were printing that article, the number
rote to ten with every falhionable man. There titter
fupplementary buttons rife on the fhOulder, and
have no other defign than to ornament the habit.
As to the Ladies, the knots of their veils, in form
of cravats, are mere caprices, whilfi, litre of hav-
ing
-concealed the enchanting contours of their
figure, they are delighted in difcoveriag them-
felves, and preventing their veils from thwarting
their inclinations. Many Ladies tie their veils on
their heads dank neglige, that is to fay II la Pfycke!
Young perfons in particular follow this mode,
which is Paid to be remarkable only for its mode fly.
Modelly, that diflinguifhed charafterillic of Vir-
tue, enters into the manner of placing the Bandeau
on the forehead, which ought to he entirely cover-
ed and horizontally. When it inclines more par-
ticularly to the left fide, this fame bandeau abfolute-
ly changes its emblem. It becomes the fymbol of
voluptuoufnefs, in giving a feducing attraetion to
the eye on which it inclines, which forces the eye
into an oblique look, vulgarly called en cou/#.
The thigh of a woman, who lately died in Ge-
neva, has been fent to the Medical Society of that
city, as exhibiting a very extraordinary phenome-
non. It is (luck quite full of fmall thorns, which
the woman, it appears, had been ,in the habit of
fwallowing, and which gradually making their
way through the inteftinal canal and the blood vef.
(els, ultimately lodged in the femoral mufcles. Ci-
tizen Albert is appointed to draw up a report upon
the eircansfiances of this fingular cafe.
By letters from Banda, the Spice Hands fo
called, intelligence has been received at the Hague
of a dreadful cxplolion of the burning mountain
in that illand. For (owe time before the air had
been humid, accompanied by fubterranean noiles;
but fo violent an explofton has not been known for
many years. All the plantations were entirely de-
' vaftated ; a great many inhabitants 101 l their lives,
and the country, to the extent of feveral miles,

was as inundated by the lava.
