An old military law has been in existence in this
island, 1t would appear, which prevented licenses
being obtained to erect buildings even upon private
lands, which would obstruct the fire from the guns
OF the Notifications, unless the owners of the lands
would consent that clause should be inserted in
the license, by which the buildings SO erected might
be compelled to be razed to the ground whenever
the crown or its interests might require the same
As few persons could be induced to erect build
ings, even upon their own lands, upon such condi-
ti0ns there have been large spaces of land unbuit
upon outside the walls, which proved offensive to
the nice taste of the Marquis de La Pezuels, who,
soon after his arrival in this island petitoned the
Queen upon the subject, referring especially to the
western part of the city outside of the walls. A
recent number Of the Gazette supplies the informa-
ton by royal decree, which is published, that the
Queen has been pleased to grant her royal approval
for the erection of buildings of all descriptions ex.
cept those Of wood, within one hundred and twenty
yards Of the walls of the city, within four hundred
yards from the fort, and within two hundred and
fifty yards from the sides of any Notifications, if
petition is presented to the municipality, and Ii.
cense obtained from his Excellency for SO doing.
AS there large tracts of vacant land outside the
walls which is private property, we shall, pre-.
sumo, soon behold large buildings erected thereon,
which, in the event of war, might possibly impede
the action Of the guns Of the fort upon invading

lous address appeared in the Gacetd Of the day. in
which he is praised IN Panegyric SO nauseous that

rich as that language is in proverbs. A poem ad-
creased to the Marquis, also appeared ir The same

soldiers are to be conveyed from Spain to this
