RYE, FEBRUARY 2.
Monday last, four privateers were seen between
Rye harbour and Fairlight, about two leagues off.
About four o'clock r. N. a large ship was then cern-
ing up Channel ; one of them bore down upon her,
but not liking het appearance, kept in and of until
ab:'ut five o'cbck. Net a ernizer to be seen, wind
W.N.W. a fine breeze. They then ran off to the
Southward with all sails set. About this time, a
schooner and a slocp sail (supposed to be a cutter).
were seen coming from the westward, steering E.S.E.
' which they scented jealous of. We saw their until
dark. Several coasters were then coming • round
F.d clot:.e in with the shore, seeing the signal
on Fairlight for enemy's cruizers being dose in shore.
If these privateers returned in the night, they mly
have done elm damage. It was of no use to fire
the guns, as their distance secured them against injury.

It would be well to have a military depot here, nor
or.iy of artillery but infant:yr to assist in getting guns
to the sea-shore, where thel9svers cannot reach, there
being a mile and a half distance between the first
tower un the ,7est-side of %Vinarelsea Castle (which
is a ruinous place)'and the first tower to the eastward,
and which the enemy know well—.they have been
more daring lately than ever.
Were Government to take our harbour under thLic _
protection, it would not only be a good harbour Icx
