RAMCGATE. OCT. 19.

The warlike preparations continue to increate in
offivity on this part of the coati, particoluly at this
town, which is the grand depot and rendezvous in
the &tot initance. Yetlerday riprraing, a great pt.trt
of the heavy artillery belonging to the Legion, with
the waggon trains, Ste. efeorted by two companies
of the Artillerifts, came in here from Canterbury,
and ,egan to embark on their arrival. At the fame
time, on the oppofite fide, from Dover and Deal,
every road was thronged with waggons, cam, and
vehicles of every kind, conveying the baggage of the
troops which were to embark in the afternoon. In the
mirth, however, of the apparent confistion and bottle
'hid( pervaded the country, toads and (hipping, every ,
thing was concluded with the greateft order, (peed,
and precition. The regularity and promptitude
evinced in completing the embarkation each day,
proceeded in a great Escalate, from the prelence and
unremitting exertions of Lord KEITH., who Rood out
in the heavieß rain, when occatlon teemed to require
his fupesintendance, efpecially when the baggage
was to be put on board and flowed away, which his
Lordlhip confidered the mole arduous part of the bta-
find's. The whole of the artillery, ammunition, and
baggage having been (hipped, about four o'clock, the
3d and 4th battalions of the line, which came in at
three o'clock from Deal, marched 7 down from the
barrack field to the pier, in a Continued line two
deep. The wanfports lay in fo clofe, and the ar•
rangernents to receive them were fo excellent, that
the men had only to file off oppofite the Chips for
each divition, and march on board without halt or
interruption. In lets than is minutes, therefore, the
two battalions, confining of 650 men each, were
embarked without the flightett accident. We had
tome very heavy (flowers in the morning, but about
two o'clock the day cleared up, and continued re-
markaLly mild; in confequence of which &woe:able
turn, the affemblage of rank, beauty, and Edition on
the Pier, and at the Trinity Houle, was very name
rons. On the arrival of the troops, the bands were
ordi.red down to the Pier, both to entertain this
throng of falhinnahle fpetiarora, and to cheer the
Lattalions an embarking. Betide Lord KEITH, and
a number of Naval and Military Officers, we obferv-
ed Earls Lire,satce and MExaoaoune, with their
Cotra, iris, Lady SARAN S•VILLS, Lady SMITH,

others, equally dillitiguithed and important. Owing
to ,he lateneft of the tide, the departure of the tranP
ports was pottponed till this morning, when they
(ailed for the Downs with a fair wind. About la
o'clock to-day, a detachment of the firtt troop of
Aping, or Horfe artillery, confining of 170 men and
8 guns, came in aliO from Canterbury. and are to be
forms ed to morrow by the feconl .coop, and like-
wile by the other corps of heavy artillery. At one
o'cl, el:, the sth battalion ofthe hoe. from Deal,
confilting of tit companie. men each, marched
in, and was embarked imme-iiately after the Artil.

not to fail till the morning tide. This order has been
iffueti to prevent accidents in failing at eight o'clock
to ngh:, which will be the time of high water. The
tratfports for the honks of the Artillery came in
yeitcniay morning, with great difficulty, from the
;owners of the tide. Five of them Ruck at the en-
tri.nce of the Pier, and remained in rather a perilous
titt...t:on till food tide in the evening.
