" We are at work here in making an immense che?,
such as man has never yet seen: ft is to be eighty
feet deep, fifty broai, and one hundred feet long •
when finifhed, it is to be filled with Hones, and to be
let down into the sea at low water, between the island
called Pellee, and the Terra Firma. This enormous
mass is to serve as a foundation for a fort, which go

we are under no small apprehenfiou, left, by some ac

it not be let down precisely on the foot intended for it,

The only consolation we can have for our ill success
in the Bast Indies, is the reflection that peace mull loon
put an end to further heftilites. Tee Abbe Keynal
some year since foresaw ^ffd published the thorn that
Hyder Ally would prove in the fide of England ; and
looking upoa him as a brave native revenging the
blood of millions of his countrymen, shed by the En
glilh, and the numbers famished by their cruelty, he
may be considered as the inllrument of Divine venge
ance, to punish a people, rioting in the druoKenuefs
of power, and trampling on the natural rights of mat *
kind.

immense amount, in order to invite to traffic without
