Our harbour contains upwards of 99 French boats,
empinyed in the herring fishery, the crews of which
must together amount to at least 10(X) men. An

State, to furnish vs with some soldiery, as we are
entirely without any, and it is considered proper to
guard against disturbances that may arise. The
number of Frenchmen is hourly augmenting, by
fresh boats coming in : last night some of them were
a little refractory in their enjoyment at the public
houses. We have to-day had a remarkably high tide.
