PLYMOUTH, Alißti.

' A very pleasant circumstance took place here yes-
terday—Three French lugsail fishing smacks from
Dieppe and Havre, anchored in the Sound, at the
identical spot under Witheyhedg,e, where they used
to bring up previous to the late War, when the strong
East winds obliged them to seek far shelter in this
Harbour. The sight was truly gratifying to a hum.
ber of speEtators, and especially so at the present
moment, when almost every heart is elated by the
arrival of the Definitive Treaty. The weather be-
coming moderate, these industrious fishermen sailed
in the afternoon to the Westward, in quest of the
numerous shoals of mackarel which appear on the
Coast of Cornwall.

The Officers of the Dock-yard, Ordnance and
Viaualling Office at this Port, are in the greatest
bustle, in making preparations for the great num-
ber of Ships of War that are expeeted to be paid off
in the course of a few days. Orders are already
received for paying off and laying up in Ordinary
the Triton, Clyde,and Indefatigable Frigates, which,
preVious to the signing the Definitive Treaty, were
fitting for sea with the greatest dispatch.
.The juste,
of 8o guns, which arrived yesterday from Torbay,
did not anchor at the usual place of rendezvous for
Ships, of the Line in Cawsand Bay, but came to in
the Sound, preparatory to coming into Harbour to
be paid off.

The Aaive Excise Cutter, commanded by Capt.
ROBERT Wmto, a most adive and vigilant Officer,
captured, o❑ Thursday night last, a few miles off
the Edystone, three very fine Cutter rigged Ves-
sels, belonging to Polperro, laden with upwards of
600 casks of spirits from Guernsey, which were
yestezday safely lodged in the Excise Warehouse.
