a large brig tender. The American brig, which
failed on Saturday laft for Havre-de-Grace, is

the purpofe of conveying to France what intelligence
he had gleaned in his capacity as pilot to the (hip he
belonged to, either with re fpeß to founding: of ou r coat,
iiearings,diftances,or the (tate of the force at this port.

ehe thip very narrowly, the French pilot was fortunately
difcovered under a fcuttle, lying at full length, and
immediately fectlred, and the *tail detained till an
examination takes.place at Dock, which occurred yef-
terday. when the American Captain took his oath be
knelt, nothing of the circumfloce of the French pi-
lot's being concealed in his vet Tel. He is ordered to

pointed to the Staff in the Southein Diliriet, is order•

A furvey has been made, and the poin's marked
out on feveral of the rivers in the vicinity of London,
for ere4ting dams acrofs the fame, in order to inun•
date the low lands, in cafe of the approach of an in-
vading enemy. To do this with effea, the dams or
dikes mull be earl ied to a great length on both fides
of the valley to be laid under water, and that mills,
honfes, and property of every kind may not be to-
tally deftroyed, there dams mull be multiplied ac-
cording to the falls of the dream, that the inundation
inay not gn beyond a convenient depth. This is the
tall defperate fpecies of fortification, and in a country
fo rich, fo clothed as ours, can only he rtforted to
