Eager Monday proved a kla:k one indeed, to i '
mai, yof the holid.iy fk.lks. A frigate was corn
filled with choice hands, taken on their

Conliderahle rellitance was made to the prefs-
gangs on board the Ganges EAR Indiaman, two

The appearances on Monday wr re a warlike af:
pc& ; the prefs on the River was exercifed with un-
remitting atliduity and feverity. The Indiargen
in general were deprived of great part of their
crews. The Woodford, in particular, loft fifty
men. We underhand, however, that orders from
the Admiralty have been fent for their reftoration.
A terrible affair happened at Weymouth on
Saturday fc'nnight :—A prefs-gang from l'Ar-
GLE figate, lying in Portland-roads, confilling of,
the Captain and his Lieutenant, with the Lietve
r,nant of Marini, and 27 Marines, and about as
many tailors, came on shore at Portland Caine,
and proceeded to the first village, called Chefel-
ton. They impreffed Henry Wiggot and Richard
Way, without any interruption whatever. The
people of the island took the alarm, and fled to
the village of Eafon, which is firuated about the
centre of the &and, where the people made a
stand at the pond. The gang came up, and the
:Captain took a man by the cooar. The man pulled
back, on which the Captain fired his pistol ; at
which fignal the Lieutenant of Marines ordered
his men to fire, which being done, three men fell
dead, being all (hot through the head, viz. Rich•
and Flann, aged 42 years; Alm. Andrews. 4.7
years ; and William Lang, a 6 years, all married
mei., two of them quarry•men, and one a black-
fmith. One man was (hot through the thigh, and
a young woman in the back; the ball is fill in her
body, and but little hopes are entertained of her
recovery. Poor Lang, the blackfmith, was at his
(hop-door, and there fell dead.
