CANTERBURY, Sam 7.—Sunday morning, about two o'clock,
a small galley, rowing six oars, attempted to work a cargo of
spirits in Marsh Bay, near Margate, and was discovered in her
approach to the shore, by a seaman of the Coast Blockade on
the look out, who instantly gave the alarm, when an officer (Mr.
WASHINGTON C.saa), accompanied by two of the seamen of that
service, proceeded towards the spot, and there encountered a
party of smugglers, about 100 in number, most of whom were
armed, and h.,,inning to discharge the cargo. In their advance,
Mr. Came and his men were fired upon by the smugglers, but
rushing on to the charge, they succeeded in forcing the smumzkrs
(who were also galled by the fire of two other men of the Coast
Blockade in an opposite direction) to drop and relinquish all the
tubs or casks, fifteen in number, and at the same time to disperse
themselves In the greatest consternation, leaving behind them
one ket, the stock and lock of another, two hats, a handker-
chief, and several large bludgeons ; anJ, front the quantity of
blood which marked the direction eit their retreat, it is comec-
tured some of them were severely wounded. The boat at the
Same time put off, and if she had on board any more goods, there
can be little doubt but that they were sunk or altogether abate.
dotted, as nothing on shore escaped the vigilance of the party.
In the conflict Mr. CARR received a severe wound on the head,
supposed lions a sabre, and one of his men was also wounded
front a shot, but it is satisfactory to add, both are doing well.
—lt is understood that most a'tlie smugglers were labouring
men collected from the interior of the country, and hired for the
occasion, many of them from the vicinity of this city ; and it is
to he regretted that the rewind ,hould be so great as to tempt
them to etig:.ge in sue li illicit practices. A man of the name of
Taylor, residue.. in Covell's-row, Margate, :vas on Sunday after.
noon arpreltenaed on the char"e of one of the marines, as a party
conceioed. lle was taken below Enw.tur Bvs, Esq. and after
a short examination at:mantled till Alonelay, when he was COM.
milted to hover Jail.

Tuesday cvei.ijig,tasout nine o'clock, as five men were coming
on shore in a small punt, from a large boat at archer hi the Bay
of Dover, they were upset, and unfortuliately one of them, W.
NI:WINGION, was drowned, leaving a pregLant wife, and two
small children, to lament th,ir h.ss. Ihe others were saved by
a boat hektiging to the Lively I:se:se cutter, which was coming
up along rhure from the DnwnA, and heard them halloo, and Lot-
