GrBRALTAR, from its peculiar situation,
is an object of great interest to the travel
Ter, and fully deserves all the encomlums
passed upon it by visitors. 1t rises near
l4oo feet above the level Of the sea, and
lies at the extreme borders of the Andalu-
sia. The town Of Gibraltar contains near
Il, 900 inhabitants, and is prettily placed
on the base Of the great rock, which
is artifcially fitted for its site. It is
placed upon the northwest side ofthe Pro-
montory, and is we'll defended by the bat
teries above. Nature has done much Tor
its defence, and from each nook in the
sides ofthis gloomy monster, you perceive
the muzzle of cannon. -Four hundred
guns are mounted upon the rock, and it is
Certainly impreguable. The houses are
siuqularly constructed; fiat roofs, and
large bow windows, are their striking
characteristics, though the dull and zen
yious' yellow of the walls (they cover the
buildings with ochre) bring the influence
Of the morning sun but too powerfully up
on them; and Gibraltar, from this cause,
has the appearance'through the day, pa
city OF the dead" OF course, will ex'
cent its business street, which traverses
the town and Is bordered by stores which
are filled with merchandise Of every KIND
You find in your perambulations, people
Of all countries, from British soldiers 70
