LYDD I.s.—Yefterday arrived in the Nefs
Roads, the FAVOURITE floor), Capt. FOOTE, with La
Ray sacirtrra French privateer, which (he captured
off Beachy Head, after a chafe of feveral hours : the
privateer had been out two days, and had taken a
collier, which the above :loop retook : remain in the
roads the Tic u s ry, Captain ARGLES, with feveral
fmaller veffels.
DOVER, Drc. t7.--I vefterilay informed you of
the capture of tic Cruizer logger privateer by the
FAvouarra (loop of war, Capt. Foote : one of the
crew of the privateer informs me, there are two
others of the fame kind, one the fame fire as this,
and another bigger. :the had taken live veffels (ince
Gee was firft fitted out, and is a very handfomc rel-
ic'. The crew report, that there are upwards of
7ceo gun-veffels, tranfports, &c. at Boulogne, Ca-
lais, Dunkirk, and Oftend ; but I think this account
mutt be exaggerated. The fay all the houfes with-
out the gates at Calais. on the Quay, under the Cour
de Gain Wall, are converted into gua-d-hrtifes, and
every means adopted to ftrengthen both Boulogne
and Calais from a fuddeo attack. On Satur-
day arrived the Montezuma, American [hip. from
Anaßerdam, bound to Beaton, with iron and mill-
(tones; by this (hip we learn that the French to-
tally &regard the late decree of the Dutch, Tapia-
in g gthcir commerci
veal affairs, and have fent a body of
French troops or to the Texel, to enforce their or-
deft, and (hew the world how much attention they
pay to the laws of their allies. No perfon is permit.
ted to travel in Holland without a French paeport,
as well as a Dutch one, and the greitell exa&inns and
arrogance are praiffifed daily by the French Officers,
with itnpimity ; the incation was but little talked of,
nothing but the coronation feemed to engrufs their
attention.
