sure of circumstances require it. This system of vi.
gilance and activity cannot be too highly praised, as
in the event of the complete conquest of Silakn, we are
convinced, that one Of BONAPARTE'S firs} great mea.
sures, will be the Siege of Gibraltar.
" GIBRALTAR, FEBRUARY 17.
" The approach of the French troops to this neighbourhood
reodering it - absolutely necessary that the forts and hues in the
vicit,ity of this garrison should be destroyed, to prevent their
being occupied by the enemy, on the evening of the 14th of Fe-
bruary, forts St. Philip and Barbara were blown up; a large
party of miners, under the direction of Lieutenant-Colonel Sir
Cast Les HOLLOWAY, and other Officers of Engineers, hay.
log been some days employed in sinking mines for that purpose,
Every part of the garrison facing the Spanish lines was crowded
with spectators, to witness the explosion ; which waq truly grad
and picturesque and perfectly answered the effect which was in.
tended, the entire front of both forts being blown into the ditch,
and the whole rendered a complete mass of ruins.
" Large parties of the inhabitants, who volunteered their ser.
vices in aid of the military, have also been for days employed in
levelling the Files between the Forts.
" A column of the enemy's troops entered Malaga a few days
ago, where they committed all the usual atrocities which hare
hitherto marked their progress through Spain. On the 14th, e
body of between 2 and 300 of the enemy approached Algesiras.
when an Officer and 20 men entered, but retired again, after
carrying off 2000 hard dollars, with.some provisions and tobacco.
" A large reinforcement of troops, tinder General &MR;
has arrived at Cadiz."

We understand that a Prussian Officer has been
nominated as successor to the late General JARRY,
Inspector-General of Instruction to the Royal Mili-
tary College at High Wycomb. The salary is 4800
a-year, besides other allowances.
Letters from the Rio de la Plata, of the date of the
24th of November, confirm the details we had before
received, of the 4th of the same month, mentioning
the perfect restoration of tranquillity in the remote
and valuable settlement of La Paz. When we stated
the commotions in that direction, we added that oh-
struction had been given by the insurgents to the con-
veyance of the public treasure to Buenos Ayres; and
that in consequence of the necessities of the Vice-
Regal Government, permission had been given for
the importation of foreign goods in foreign vessels,
on the payment of the exorbitant duties required for
such a concession. It appears by the latest letters,
that the same permission was continued on the like
terms, and that although harmony with the interior
was restored, there was no immediate prospect of any
change in this important commercial arrangement.
The late Mr. CALEB WMITEFOORD being at a City
feast, the Chairman, very soon after dinner, gave
toast not very consistent with decorum. Mr. Pirrt
on hearing this toast, displayed some symptoms of
disgust, and asked if it was common Qh yes,"
said Mr. WRITEFOORD, " very common, 41110 g
Chairmen!"

Which is to be had at Freemason's Hall, on Monday
