Last Tuesday being the anniversary of the Prince of Wales’s birthday, the soldiers encamped at the different places along our coast were drawn up at noon and severally fired out a FEU DE JOY in honour of the day. At Brighton the FEU DE JOY was answered by guns at the battery and by some ships at sea.
