[Extract of nLetter, dated Sandwich, July 16.]
" Last night a large -sailing. lugger,' belonging to the Cus-
toms at Deal, which had been afloat for several days, being
hatiled up on the. beach, in front of the King's IVateh.house,
some packages were discovered in her, by the vigilance of a
sailor belonging to the Coast Blockade, under the orders Of
Captaiti'M'Cullock, of his Majety'S ship Ramillies, when in-.
formation was conveyed to the officers' of Etcise at Deal, who,
on searching the boat, discovered a large quantity of silks,
which they immediately seized, together with the boat, and
she has been since unrigged, and with.her sails and, materials
removed to the condemned ground._ .It is expected, in strict
justice to the Customs boat's crew (who are all freemen of this
ancient town and port), that Government will depute conflcien.•
tial persons from London to investigate this extraordinary cir-
cumstance, which has excited great surpriso-artiongst the inha-
bitants of Deal, the whole t 4 the Customs boat's crew being
much respected in that torn for many years, not only for strict
attention to their duties, but combining therewith very liberal
conduct in executing them. It is expected these- persons will
not appear tnhave been implicated in using his Majesty's boat.
