Yesterday was sent in here, by one of His Ma-

wise two other cutters, for Ramsgate, and one for
Yarmouth, merely on a supposition of being smug.
filers, having nothing on board ; the crews are the
greatest part imprest ; some few escaped in their
boats. We have a small sloop in here fiom Sheer-

loggers lying here, detained here as a smuggler, said
to be for the purpose of carrying dispatches from the
Note to the Texel ; she is a very Fast sailer, but consi-
dered two small for the North Sea, being about 55
tons hurthen. The brig Adair, sent in here, as men-
tioned in a former letter, has had part of her cargo
condemned, consisting of sugar, about 100 tons,
which will be for sale here on Monday next.
