0 galliot and a brig of war belonging to that
nation, hive made a landing upon our coaft, and
inhumanly pillaged the two little villages of Cor-
rubedn and Lage, which had no means of defence.
They have profaned and taken away every thing
th t was valuable in the churches, laid wafte the
fields. carried off the cattle, burnt the hotsfes, Weed
the public money, and robbed and illtreated a
slumber of private individuals ; in Mort, they have
ravaged the villages on the coaft by exercifing an
unregrained and hitherto unexampled piracy, which
charaaerifes a ferocious nation. It was difficult
to prevent fuch plundering expeditions along an
immenfe extent of emit, left without defence in
confequence of the adremblage dour troops on the
Frontiers of Portugal. But the orders which have
been given to fortify all the molt e: fed points,
will render the nigh& more circumfpea and lefs
Cowardly in their future conduit.
