WEYMOUTH, SEPT. 26.

F Last Wednesday, Ac.‘ genteel looking men came
to this' town, and repaired to the George Public-
hose, where they ordered a dinner; two of them
went out and hired a pleasure boat for the afternoon's
amusement; and as they spoke good English, were
riot suspected. After dinner, they proceeded to sea,
and Sailed round the Bay. After being out about an
hour,- they discovered themselves to be French Of-
ficers, confined the man sand boy in the boat, and
bore away for the French coast : it came on a calm ;
they in consequence took the small. boat that was
a-stern, with which they rowed away, and gave up
the yacht: The next morning they were fallen in
wi.th by the Prosperity Cutter,. of Alderney, about
half-channel over, the Captain of which secured 'the
boat and prisoners, and gave them over to the charge
of captain WILKINSON, of the Greyhound "Revenue
Cutter, who !andel them here on.nursday morn-
ing. It appeared t!,P,.• had broken their parole at
Wincanton ; and cm; of the Officers confessed his
having been here three or four times to reconnoitre
the harbour, previous to the .attempt being made-of
escaping with his comrades..
A few evenings afterwa, ds another boat was taken
out'orthe harbour by one of two Frenchmen who
had escaped from Odiham ; he had got a few leagues
from Portl4l/4.1, when the Dario' Gun-brig arrested
his progres , and towed the 'boat back into Portland
&ads. Her. Commander was taken and secured by
the vigilance and affivily of Mr. RoisIWARD, a Gen-
tletn'an of this town, who fel! in with him on the
road between this place and Chickwell.

There appears to be some want of precaution at
the places Of theseOffia parole, as wen as in this
town and harbour, and it is to be. hoped that proper
sentinels will be fixed on the Pier, as is the case at
Guernsey, and'not to suffer any boat in the night to
pass without avid examination.
