The town is above half a\\nmile in length, regularly fortified with bastions, half\\nbastio IS, and a ditch. Besides these works, it has an-\\nother sort of fortification, very singular, but well adapt-\\ned against the Indians, an enemy the Spaniards had\\nmost to fear.

The two\\nsouthern bastions are built of stone.\\nIn the middle of the town is a spacious square, called\\nthe pai-ade, open towards the harbour. At the bottom of\\nthis square is the Governor s house, the apartments of\\nwhich are spacious and suited to the climate, with higii\\nwindows, a balcony in front, and galleries on both sides.\\nTo the back part of the house is. joined a tower, called in\\nAmerica, a look-out, from which there is an extensive\\nprospect towards the sea, as well as inland.

In the opposite di^\\nrection, east and west, are, commencing at the Fort,\\nOrange, Cuna, Hypolita, Baya sLane, Treasury, King,\\nBridge, and St. Francis, and a few narrow lanes.\\nThe dwellings generally are quaint, and suggest a\\ngreat lack of architectural taste on the part of the\\nbuilders. They are chiefly constructed of coquina\\nshell stone quarried on Anastasia Island, are almost\\ninvariably two stories high with windows that project\\nfrom the upper stories, and in some cases, owing to the\\nnarrowness of the streets, persons standing upon their\\nbalconies can almost shake hands across the chasm,\\nand cosily chat. Of late years, many prominent citi-\\nzens from the North have erected modem and very\\nhandsome buildings, making a decided improvement,\\nand rather Americanizing the musty old plaCe.
