RAM GAPE, OCTOBER 12.

A boat, containing nine unfortunate people, was
swamped on Sunday evening between this trexn and
Calais, when every soul perished : the ind:viditals con-
sisted of four women, the rest men (the wlio.e end)),
who had brought over, about three weeks bine..., fruit
and vegetables. Soon after their arrival at this port,
an officer of the Customs proceeded to examine the
vessel, and discovered, under the gunwale, a q ..nti.
ty of Valenciennes lace ; the boat remark ibi y tine
yawl) was consequently confiscated the St ,te.—
Since that period, these unfortunate creatures !lava
been wandering about tot.tlly without tht- means of
returning to their native country. On S.l::d ,y morn-
' lag a poor Flemish fisherman, taking pity o the.r si-
tuation, undertook to carry them over itt a vet y
boat. They ail embarked, and a trash gale conti..g
on, were enguiphed bate re they l ;a_ gin halt way
over. Two of the women were r.•niatkably ha.id-
some ; they wore large necklaces, and their goid ear-
rirgs attracted much noCce, the drops
six inches deep.
