The master of the brig Industry, cf Hythe, where
she has been with a cargo ol coals, reports, that on
Sunday last, being nil the Kentish Knock, in com-
pany with twelve other vessels, a French lugger pri-
vateer bore down, and captured five sail of them :
two East Country ships and three colliers, all loaded.
We hear this day, that two vessels, the hettey and
bib, of Sunderland, one laden with timber, and
the other with coals, are recaptured and brought into
the Downs. They are supposed to be two of the
above mentioned vtswls.
Yesterday. a large brig was launched here from
Mr King's yard ; she is for the merchant service,
having been set up on speculation. This is the last
vessel Mr. King intends to build here, he having
grit a situation on the river Medway, where he is
employed by Government in building ships for the
Royal Navy. His removal will be a great loss to
many people here, he having, for many years past,
employed a great number of hands, both on his own
and Government's account, in the building of ships
and other smaller vessels.
A very serious affray is said to have taken place,
on Tuesday evening. at Deal, between a boat's
crew belonging to the Princess of Wonse, and a
party of smugglers, in sOltich one of the Princess of
Orange's men was killed, and two wounded. Whe-
ther the other ;arty lost any is unknown. We are
told, this day, that the military were called out
again last night on a similar circumstance, and
that they lined the road all the way between Deal
and Widmer Castle, stopping every person in the
way ; but we have not heard of any more mischief
being done.
