his. rhetoric with this . flourish, without the .
slightest idea of the strength he claimed for his.
position. ' . o
Imagine, then; : a . rock of about three miles
inlength,•and a mile in width•at the. widest
point,and seventeen hundred feet.in height at
its highest elevatien,• . towering 'up between the
Spanish and African coasts, apparently for' no
Other purpose than to give to Some power the
control this passage, which gives the west
communication - with the east. Then imagine
it almost prec'ipitous •• on the side towards the,
Meditetahean, towering, at the lowest point,
at least a thousand feet, above' the sea, against
Which the corribined•navies of the World Would
be asirnpotent as are, the v..avei 'which break
at its base.' Then -.Picture to.yourself the. side
which forrna the-harbor—this being a little, lake
whichmakeseround the western side of the
rock, interposing ..between' it and, the Spanialr
coast—from a point fifty feet above the water's
:edge, .foititied by . all the defencei which mn- .
'sonry and
.engineering :can devise, and these
fortifications mounted by guns at least 'every
ten yards, and repeated batteries along the side
of the 'rock for - "at least half its' height; then
superadd to these, immense galleries excavated
fOi; more than a mile into the.rock itself, thro'.
which an army of mounted cavalry. can ride,
out of which Open ' frequent .port hol'esi at each .
of which is mounted. a 'twenty-four'. pounder',
thesegallegies leading to immense magazines ;
(the latter not' exhibited 'to' the public;)', then
fancy iorce of nearly. : four 'thousand' troops'
for, general :defence; having in charge these .
eight'hundred.mounted guns, and the garrison
.provisioned for a . four or, five . years?. - seige, - and
you will have some idea of:the strength of this
fortific'ation; and conclude with me that upon

by force'. .As the terms of Peace; Great Britain
may" 'be compelled 'by some treaty, to yield it
'to-Spain at the dictation of France, but by mere
Attack or seige,
,never. one other way it
may be lost, to England. Connected by an

The scenery about the rock is picturesque in

Austritut Caveliy,

.No power can boast such 1 bedy. ot • cavalry
as:'Aitstiiis: it is enormous number. : , -The
- horaes ate .ezkellent, well aetive,.
and coureieous:, 'fhe men are. bold riders,
good swordsmen,. and, better still, are the'right
Weight,..and are recruited in ,great part from
i'vviiol:thovireatest equestrian nitions in , the
world, the• Poles and'Hungirlani. " In . her, ser
'vice, the • monstrocity; so often witnessed - In
France, giant of two hundred pounds
weight, laden 'with' arms and eecoutrementi,
astride of a beast not Much bigger than him-
Cell; is never witnessed: In short, the Austrian
ehlanorhussar is the model light-cavalr y man
of the. , world: small, light, wiry, indefatigable,
is rider from his cradle,•'his bridle in his heels,
and hie hand, eye and heart'on' hie sabre, inde
fatigable in March, !Wirt in charge, every;
•where by , turns and nowhere long. It.may al
most be said that the Hungarian busier, new .
that•the Turkish saphi is a thing of the; pest,.
is the only light cavalry, in feet the,only car
airy ins existence.' His cuts are ler fatal and•
sure as other men's thrusts. Hie hoise.ls part
Of himself; riding or fightinTave - his pastimes.

ATI this, howeVer, goes down before the. En
field rifle and the. Armstro . ni - gun. Let the
horse' he ever so sveift,'the sabre ever so sharp '
mid the rider ever so .bold; the '
.conical ball is
too much for' bin). A charge,:of cavalry upon
a - body.of properly armed infantry bids fair to
henCiforward invossible. - Tyro :hundred
yards has been fixed by' the,beit authority ai
the proper charging distance, and in by-gone
days it was only at two hundred yards'that the
fire of a square began te':tell and saddles 'to be
emptied. But new-a-days the iron rain patters
on the horsemen before they could get within
half a mile of the fee. If they quicken 'their
pace to close•at the maddest charge will not
bring a, dragoon-borne on '.the bayonet in less
than three minutes, and when he arrives he is
blown and disabled: “When .he airrivesur-if
