SHORN CLIFF CAMP, NOT. 12.

Our campaign is clofing to its end, as the troops
are expeCted to march in',, winter quarters in the
cour.., of a week or ten days, and indeed the fever ity
of the weather requires it, as tr,twithllandlng the
very great attention paid to the comfort of the men,
they mull fuffer hardships tinder the thin covering of
tingle canvas, when 'even the ofticerh' double mar-
quees are infufficient to refill the heavy tains that
have fallen.
A party of the 4'h and 59th regiments took pot
feffion of Hythe Barracks velterdas. f', epar4ory to
the reception of thofe regiments, the 53 I ant Rifle
.1
Corps, it is laid, will be quartered at Shorn Cliff Bat-
tery, and Fort Twifs, Sutherland and Moncrieff,on
the Beach. The Berklbire arid Weft Kent are def.
tined for Braboute Lees Barracks, near Milford ;
and the Ealt Middiefex are to be quartered at Deal. I
Such is the arrangement given tut on very refpeft.t.
ble authority. The camp and the towns of Sandgate
and Hythe were alarmed hill night by the report of
a 24 pounder. At fir ft it was imagined to proceed
from fume flop in diltrefs, but was afterwards ether.
tamed to proceed from Fort Twifs : it Gems the cen-
i ranch gave notice of the approach of a 1411 which did ;
not gave the neceirary fignal. The Officer command-
ing the detachment ordered a gun to be fired at her,
on which the fheered off, but the troops were under
arms in confequence. It is now conjeCtured the was •
a fmuggling veffel, and is certainly indebted to the
officer for driving her off, as there were a steutfidera-
ble number of Excifemen waiting for their prey on
the leach. A 1. uggling veffel was feized 4 few
nights ago, laden with aoo tubs of (piths, and (eve- 11
rah hundred rolls of tobacco, between Forts Stinder-
land and Twifs t. and indeed, though a praftice fo
in-
jurious to the Revenue cannot be openly countenan
ced, yet when it is confidered that thole adventurers
bring the molt ufeful and authentic information from
the enemy's coall, it may not be bad policy to wink
at it in force inflames.
