Ma. 13ROOkr, olthe Alien llepartMent Of Lcir
HAWICeSBURY'S Office, is returned to LAndoti froti

tlje Kentish Coast, where he has been ex ontning tin
virtue of Special Instructions from'
Foreigners of every description, for the piiroose.of
bringing to the notice of G,vernment such
might have resorted to the Coast without special
authority, and whose motives might be sutpeeled...
This Gentleman's investigation has, we. under,
stand,"extended fromNargate afar as Daver ; and
if the precautions he has taken to ni,•ke the. Provi:
sions of the Alien Ad in'ore generally known,,. and
the mode lie has recomnientied'of enforcing- the sanle;
be rigidly, attended to by those who are in 1.4 d
vested with special.powers to aft against Aliens
breaking- this Ad of Parliament (withou; the ne.
cessity of appealing for the san6tion of the Executive
Government), much benefit may be expeCted, and
no pretext will be left fur the illiberal animadver-
siens of those'persons, who are ever ready, right or
wrong, to. stigmatize 04vernment with a w atit of
due attention to the Public Interest and &Ivy*.
Wennderstand, from good authority, that tine
person, a Native of France, was immediately' re;
gaited to remove from Dover, where he was living
in the capacity of,Waiter at the Ship Inn, anti thati .
because he was discovered,npon examination, to have
come to this Country betweenthe Ist Oaober 1801
and the' 31st August 1.803, to have been
,a subj..ti
of the French. Republic, and that hia father is a
Brewer at present residing at 11,ulogne.
Tnia step, asa inatter'of precaution,. appears ex.:
tretuely proper, as it is conformable to the intention
of a Proclamation issued .by the KING shortly
after the breaking out of the War.
`With. the exception of the person alluded to, ,
whose general condua during his stay at Dover
(it is but justice to say) was not represented to have
been exceptionable ; the greater number of persons
examined were composed of Foreign Jews-, and of
old and established Residents, ktio,ww by Alte in.
habitants of the places where they are dotnieiliated,
and who cuold only be noticed as' Aliens_ because-
they had not been naturalivli, or received His
jesty's Letters Patent of- Dr:nization.— The re.
