MARGATE, SEPT. 19.

The fiihermen. mailers of boats on this cosi% Who
have hitherto bad proteftions from the hoprefs fee,
vice, particularly on account of their being always
ready to put to fea at a moment'swotice, for the per,
pole of piloting or 'Ailing, when in diltrcfs. Nines I
(hips. and other veffels, have had their protsainns
taken from them within thefe few days, which has'
occafioned a eonfiderable fenfation among them and
produced much diftrefs, as they dare mot now go
out to work the rackets to London, which are now
navigated by foreigners.
About one hundred of thefe men have been carried
from Margate and eleven from Ramfgate. None are
exempted, whom the imprefs can get hold of. except
loch as have three children.
Molt of the boats on this coati have been cut ind
new modelled to carry one carronade each in their
„ centre. Our fea fencibles prallife with them twice
every week, firiag at a mark about two miles off at
fea.—The expertnefs they have acquired, and the'
precifion with which they take their aim, is truly
wonderful. This is a kind of force which promifes
t. much advantage in the event of the enemy hazarding
. a vifit to our acres.
