Captain C. BRISBANE, whofe fpirited conditti in
the capture of the Chevieite is an objed of univer-
fal admiration, had fignalized himfelf in many
former inftances. It was owing to his penetration
and prefence of mind that Lord KEITH received
information of the approach of the Dutch fleet at
the Cape of Good Hope, and formed that judici-
ous plan, by which they were taken. Captain B.
was on his way to Europe, but meeting the ene-
my's fleet, he conjeAured that they could have no
other deflination but the Cape. Regardlefs of per-
fonal confequences, he was moved by no confider-
ation but the fervice of his country—he returned
to the Cape, and apprized the Admiral of hi
fufpicions, which were fo fuccefsfully realized.

pallingers are allowed to land here without pair-
ports, except the French and bilk Why they
