DOVER, OCTOBER 30.

The ACTIVE hired armed cutter, of eight guns,
and 24 men, came in this morning t+ refit, having
loft night about eight o'clock off Folk(lone, fallen in
with, and in a moll gallant manner beat off a large
French lugger privateer full of men, which attempted
to board her three times ; the cutter received a great
many muiket (hot in her Item and [larboard quarter,
and I am concerned to Rate that her Commander,
Lieutenant HICKS, was badly wounded, as were alfo
four feamen, and one poor fellow killed. The crew
of the French lugger mull have fuffered very much,
as feveral of her men were killed, and fell overboard
when attempting to board; and, as She Sheered off
the IA time, the cutter got her two fternmoft guns
to bear at her, and fired them on her decks, charged
with round and grape flint. Came into the Roads
this day, the MONKEY and WRANGLER gun brigs.

Extradt of a letter from Londonierry,O.ftoher 24.—" For the
lift three days we have had a violent gale from the N. W. A brig
has been loft at Mahn Head, and all hands perifbed. Ucals and
Or plank have been drifted on (bore. A brig is expedted here

It has been Rated for Come days pall that it is the
intention of the Board of Trade, to recommend that
a total prohibition shall be put on the import of all
French produce and French manufaCtures into Eng.
land. They have already clogged the import of bran
die: with iegulations, oaths, licences and permits,
which makes it extremely troublefome—and the ru-
mour is, that they have it contemplation to Rop berth
brandies and wines, as well as all the inferior articles
we derive from thence.

WEBB, the Mayor and Shet iff of Canterbury, and the
Officers of the Rifle Corps, v. ith others of their ft iends,
partook of an elegant dinner at the King's Head inn,
at which hat mony and conviviality prevailed until a
late hour.

The following is an extra& of a letter from Memel,
received by a refpeetable honk :-
4. Englith !hips being prohibited from entering our ports, and
neutrals only permitted, lew opportunities occur of writing to you.
Our Court is Dill here. '1 lac French have fuch a firong attach-
ment to Pruflia, that they have no inclination to leave it. By the
articks of the peace, they were to crofs the Paffarge on the aoth
Augult ; but they Dill occupy that neighbourhood, under the pre-
tence that the boundaries of l)antzic arc not regulated; for two
linix were ftipulated, and now Lefel,vre infills on two German
nines. Prof& is not in a Date to defend herlilf, and muft fuhmit
to the mandates of the two Imperial Courts. Ihe contributions
are very heavy on Kouingtherg, which is dellrous that Menu I
Mould pay the half ; but there is no reafon why goon inhabitants
thould pay an equal turn with 6c,050. The loan is at 3 per cent.
The flux is very fatal; no Ids than Soo died laft week at Koningf
berg ; and at ‘Vormilitt, not far from the Paffarge, not lets than
Goo are dead of the fame difeafe—the whole of the inhabitants
wore not more than tcco. A dreadful diftemper rages among
the horned exile. In Tat, out of r too cows the town had,
only so remaining [hank HEAVEN, the cattle here are healthy ;
and we have not Coffered Co much from flcknef. as the, have
dcce
in the neighbouring provinces."
