At Havre.de.Grace, our little Squadron has late-

the prattice of sending boats on shore, and sup.

at the light-house, it having been kept dim for
some time, leaving a threat, that unless they kept
a better light for tile future, they would batter the
lighthouse down : since that they have kept up an
excellent light. They are so much in fear of our
Tars, that they have never once tired on our boats
from the Fort at Havre.
