Laft evening, about eight o'clock, in confe-
quence of an exprefs received by the Commanding
Officer of this port, from London, the hotteft prefs
ever remembered broke out in every part of this

very few men could poll:61y efcape, and all the
(hips and velfels of every defcription are corn.

pick up every man that has not a legal protettion.
