Description of the View of the late PARLIAMENT HOUSE.

our last, we gave a view of one side of the Parliament Square, containing St Giles's Church, and part of the edifice formerly appropriated to the Courts of Justice. We now give another, which includes the whole of that edifice, and thus completes the view of remarkable objects, which this Square, in its former state, presented. These two representations appeared to us a proper preliminary to the plan we have been favoured with, of the new range of buildings, by which this Square is to be embellished, and which we have, therefore, thought it advisable to defer till our next number.

it were, the hinge on which the war
in Spain now turns. Its siege, there-
fore, is destined apparently to be
one of the most memorable in the
annals of history. Although seve-
ral plans of it have been offered
to the public, none that we know
of have been calculated to illus-
trate its present state, in a mili-
tary point of view-to shew the
position of the respective armies, or
the points at which the different for-
tifications have been erected. These
deficiences we are enabled to supply,
by the obliging attention of a friend
now at Cadiz, who has transmitted
to us a plan, comprising all the
above particulars. He has accom-
panied it with the following explana-
tion, and notices of the present state
of the places adjacent, considered
in a military point of view :

A. in Isla 79th regt. quarters.
B. do. 1st Guard quarters.
C. 94th, 95th, 88th, regts. en-
camped.

D. 87th, 44th, do. do.
