On Monday fe'nnight, a French Gentleman, named Vk'lor Deville, landed at Balt Bourne, from an open boat, in which he had alone worked his patrage, in twenty hours, from Dieppe, and in his adventure no doubt encountered much difficulty, if not danger ; but under what influence or neeef fity is not known. Having no palfport, he was foon after landing taken into cultody, and the fame evening brought to the White Hart, in Lewes, where, obferving fmall tricoloured cockade, which his hat exhibited, much attra&ed the eyes of the fpedators, and fancying it might be offen five, he fecretly removed the Republican badge, and dropped it in the room.
