Revenue cutter', Rationed to guard the coalts.—A
Cr,trefpondent fuggetis, by way of affording im-
proved fectuity to the revenue, and to trading veffels

injunetions not to quit their retpettive Rations, till re-
lieved by another cutter ; thus keeping the coat con-
Andy guarded. At prefent many of the cruizers
have a ditirid allotted them, of Go leagues, to cruize
in, a fpact quite impalible to be watched with effi-
ciency—was it reduced to 3o leagues, a Commander
mightfulfil the intentions of his employer, and prove
hinafelf effentially serviceable to the country.

mmetife Capitals, is alone fufficient to ereetiify the
whole world of Fortune's votaries
