A letter from St. Andero, dated Sept. 27, says,
fg one of the transports that came in our convoy was
taken the night we arrived here, (25th September)
and carried into Santona, about 15 miles East of this
place, where the French have a force of two thousand
men very strongly fortified, and from whence they
commit great depredations. The vessel captured is
valued at E 75,000, having a cargo of wheat, cloath.
ing, and stores. The French have, we understand,
at Santona two brigs, a corvette, and some row.
boats, which they man with 40 or 50 people."
• The high spring tide of Monday last, which, aided
by a strong south westerly wind, inundated the southern
coast .of Kent, and particularly at Folkestone,
washed down two dwellings on the Stade, and the
new embankment which had been formed for the
protection of that part of the town, was predicted by
the French astronomers as likely to be productive
of considerable inundations on the maritime coasts,
if favoured by winds. According to the same calcu-
lations, another tide, higher than the ordiaary spring
tides may be expected about the 25th instant, and
another stillhigher than that of Monday last, on the
9th of November, whose eff-ct may be encreased ur
diminished, as the wind may operate either on the
eastern'or southern coasts of the county.' The latter is
calculated as the highest of any which may occur in
the present year.

The Lord Warden held a Pilot's Court at Dover

toms, shall be deemed sufficientlo indemnify a Bi itish-
built ship, and that on the production of such ceiti.

•
the same footing with the British, both with regard
to the duties of Scavage and Package payable to the
Coiporation of London, and the duties pay tble on
Shipping to the Corporation of the Trinity House in
London ; to effect this, and at the s sme time to pre-
serve the chartered rights of the Corporation o' Lon-
don and of the Trinity House, it will be necessary
that those duties should. in the first instance. be paid
as at present, and in all cases, where it shall appear
that the Portuguese merchant shall have paid more
than the British, the difference to be, returoed with.
out expense, in such manner as the Ileitis!' Govern-

adjusting this matter, so as to secure to the Portu-
guese Revenue, the full payment of the duty of 15
per cent. and to afford to the merchant the certainty
of sot being compelled to pay more, in any case, ap-
pears to be thus :
" That the Importer shall, on making the entry at
the Portuguese Custom House, sign a declaration of
the value of his goods to such amount as he flail
deem proper, and in case the Portuguese examining
officers should be of opinion that such valuation is in.
sufficient, they shall be at liberty to take the goods on
paying the importer the amount, according to this
declaration, with the addition of 10 per cent. and also
returning the duty paid.
" The amount to be paid on the goods being deli-
vered to the Portuguese officers, which must be within
15 days from the first detention of the goods.
