MARGATE, OCT. 4.

This morning a very intereding naval fpe&acle
was exhibited off our coati. The Margate Ming-
vetch, to the number of fifteen, with their carro.
eades mounted, and manned by the Sea Fencibles,
under the command of Captain Seism' went
through a variety of naval exercifes, and dill:barged
five balls each at a boat anchored at above a mile
Mast, and fuppofed to reprefent the enemy. The
firing was extremely good, particularly from the
' veffels of the Commander and Capt. Garter. The
line was formed at about a mile and a half from the
(pore, and about two miles and a half to the well ward
of Margate. The lea not being boifterous, and the
weather being remarkably fine, many perlons went
out in different boats from hence, and added to the
fplendour of this aquatic exhibition. The eremite
laded till three, and the Br itith flotilla interned with
the next tide to the harbour. The very meritorious
voluntary exertions of this valuable body of men
highly delighted not only the inhabitants of the town,
but every perfon who was a fpedatur of their naval
&ill, their patriotifm, and the affiduity with which
they apply themfelves to be mod olefin in the defence
of the country. The packets did not tail this mor-
ning, as all the hands were engaged on board the
gun-vetch.
The Volunteers of the We of Thanes Isere again
reviewed on Tuefday laft ; when the Re-Corps,
commanded by Capt. Jaime, gained great credit.
This corps, however, do not ufe rifle pieces, but are
well prattled at !hooting at a mark.
