KENT, : 
Government have determined to enarge 
Sheerness Dock-yard, for decking ffrst-rate 
men of war. There is now'an old man of 
war fitting up for the reception of 500 cons 
victs, who sre to be employ: d on the works. 
to addition to this improvement, a bridge is 
intended to be bailt over the river Swall, at 
the present King’s Ferry, to the opposite 
shore inthe Isle of Sheppy, which will be 
ef great public advantag:$ ae troops, pro- 
Visions, and articles of commerce, can bé 
e@2sily passed backwards and, forwards, instead 
of the present mode af ferrying over, which 
frequently proves dangerous. 
‘The immense works erected on that part of 
the coast of this ccunty, whieh cannot be 
considered under the protection of our ship- 
ping in the Downs,and which is imm<diately 
opposite to that great rendezvous of the French 
fiotilia, Boufogne, are now nearly completed ; 
they begin with the ancient castle of Dover, 
which, from its peculiar strength and eleva- 
ted situation, has long been impregnable ; 
government have, however, been employed 
in constructing subterranéous works, with 
barracks or 10,000 men. The height oppo- 
site the barracks, is also reguirly fortified by 
fanking: retioubts, bastions, &c. &c. There 
is also a citadel, with ditch and draw bridge, 
and barracks for 5000 men; ashaft of a most 
beautiful and commoiicus description, having 
four different statr-cases, communicates with 
the town, the height of which is upwards of 
500 feet. By this shaft, it is calculated that 
20,000 men might pass from the height to 
the town, or vice versa, in half an hover. 
There are also four other batteries 3 so that 
Dover is now the most completely fortified 
(except Malta and Gibraltar) of any place in 
the British dominions, and forms a most novel 
and intere-ting spectacle to the eye of the 
Stranger. From Dover to Folkestone no 
works of defence are necessary, as the cliff is 
inaccessible. From Folkestone to Dungeness, 
forming au opén bay of atout twenty miles. 
in breadth, a great number of Martello tow- 
ers are constructed, which aie of a circular 
form, tomb propf, and have one gun of very 
Jargecanbie on the top; they are sc distribu- 
ted, that no part of the coast which is assajl- 
avie,iswithout the range of their shot: thirty 
men_in each, might defend themselves as 
jong as their provision lasted, in perfect secu- 
rity 
been greatly enlarged, and now contains a 
numcef o° guns. A redoubt, consisting of 
bemb-proof tuwers and very formidable out- 
works, has also been erected at Brockman’s 
‘Barn. At Shotncifie, there is a battery 
calied by that name; and at Hythe, Suther- 
land and Mfonorief -batteries have been 
erected, which, with three others at Dungee
