The bulinefs of harveft at Brighton, and along the
coaft both ways, has been contiderably retarded by
the military preparations for the general infpcitios
by the Commander in Chief. All the oats and bar-
ley about this abundant kens of cultivation, are cut
down. The wheat harveft had begun, but was fud-
denly arrefted by the call of the foldiery, who were
employed in getting it in, to their preparatory prac-
tice for the grand review, which, in this diltrie, wit
take place tn-morrow or Thurfday.
At Brighton, for fume days pall, the fportfmen,
with their dogs, have been ranging the country, and
beating up the quarters of the partridges. Their ge-
neral report is, that the birds are sot numerous—very
backward—. Rill (mall—fcarcely fledged, and weak
on the wing ; contequently ill prepared to efcape the
Daughter that awaits them on Itfeaddy nest. There
is fcarccly a covey within twenty miles of Brighton,
in any direaion, that is not marked-dot= in its native
held, and under adiosl fiamses of &cal the moment
they are deprived of the cover which the tending
corn affords them.

Spacious (treks are now forming adjacent to the
Well India Docks in the Ifle of Dogs, and ground
advertifed for building upon, and thus a new and
conGderable fuburb wAI be added to this great Me-
tropolis. The aftottifiting alteration, dialed lately
on this fpot, claim the pre-eminence in our domef-
tic improvements. In a place, which, four or five
years ago, one could anticipate only its continuing a
mere mirth, the °paleface, lki 1, and indußry of a
body of individuals have adually formed an im-
meth port, and crated edifices around it, which,
when the plan is completed, as it loon will be, will
vie with the proudeft effort. of .0.4 m
times. Emperors and Rates have conllru&ed har-
bours, and ereeted towns: but the hiltOry of the
world may be ranfacked in vain to exhibit any thing
of this kind that can compare with the wonders which
have been effeEted by a body of Britifh merchants.

Cattle, to the Palace of Hampton-Court,affords su
additional proof of the attention of his lajasty to
the cultivation of the Pine Arts, and his deGre to
render the Acccfs to the bell produlions of the pencil
in the Royal plireflion, as cal, as poffible to the du-
dent and amateur. Mete chi ddbevvra of the art,
which the King, in his partiality for Windfor, bad
put up there, where they were always near him, in
the place of his. moll frequent refidence, are now re-
flood to the gallery which was originally conaruc-
ted for their reception, by King Wir.traat the Third,
in the Inner Court of Hampton-court Palace. Their
effeet was, certainly, not nearly fo (hiking at Wind-
, for, where they were placed in differert rooms ; but
in their prefent fituation they are viewed at once.
The Cattle itfelf, at Windfor, being now occupiei
, by the ROYAL FAMILY, the exhibitiun of theie works
was, in a confiderable degree, prevented; bat they
are ROY open to all.
