GLIERNSEr, AMY 29.

The measures to prevent smuggling have had the
desired effect in this island and in Alderney. Go-
vernment sent seven cutters to cruize round us, and
we are ruined. A considerable emigration to Ame-
rica has taken place from this island.
I must do the justice to the principal merchants of
the Island, to say that they have co-operated with the
views of Government, in putting an end to the trade
in contraband goods exported from this place to Eng-
land. Happy should we be, if our distress was pro-
ductive of any advantage to our mother country.—
' But the smuggling trade is not diminished. Flushing
I and other French harbours now enjoy the benefits
which these islands derived from that communication.
And as contraband goods will now issue from a
greater number of points, the smug,:ting trade will
I increase.

Government have ordered the erection of an exten-

son has made a present of nine acres for that pur-
pose ; the situation is excellent, and with the infantry
barracks will form a magnificent termination to one
side of perhaps the most beautiful village in Europe,
There is to be an encampment at Fermoy on the 14t.
of next month, consisting of about 8000 men.
We understand, that the barracks at Ashford,
which have been of late so unhealthy, are to undergo
a complete repair. The exposed situation of these
barracks will ever render them ineligible quarters for
troops in winter, unless the greatest attention is paid
to render the apartments more warm and comfortable
for the men, to effect which desirable ends the con.
struction of the rooms must be materially changed.
In our opinion, it would be better to remove the bar.
