our avowed principles, even as radical Reformers.
The Church, in her Confession of Faith, has ex-

comprised in thirty, to be placed immediately on re-

By accounts from Dieppe, we learn the origin of
the fracas on Sunday last, in that city, which has
been exaggerated, but still will serve as an illustra-
'ration of the feelings of the people towards the Eng-
lish particularly at a place where a mutt al
attachment was supposed to exist. A private in the
11th dragoons enquired the price of a fish in the
market? he was told a franc. 'Knowing that the
fisherman asked only one half' from Others, the man
Went away without saying a work lie had not
gone many yards when the fisherman followed him,
and with a violent blow knocked him 'down. This
outrage was observed by three soldiers, who folloW-
ed the aggressor, and a pugilistic' contest ensued.—
After giving a good drubbing to the fishermen ana
his assisting associates, the soldiers retired to their
quarters. There it closed ; but an hour afiewards
another private of the 11th was carrying his forage
or, hay avid sire's to his quarters, when a Frenchman ,
came up and struck him in the face, and heat hia>♦

outrage, immediately repelled to. Col. Ileigb, whit,
rearing that these' acts were a signal for.additienal
insults, ordered a guard to patrole the streets; but
if was discovered that our soldiers were dispersed in
different excursions, enjoying their Sunday's leisure
and, amusements. A strong piquet could not he in-
stantly mustered, whilst the alacrity of the French.
men was on the alert to meditate murderous destruc-
tion to the whole regiment by their language and
geetUres. At this crisis the Mayor summoned the
gong d'armes, when all further outrage subsided.
The sailing of the packets has not been regular
during, the past few days, owing to the 'boisterous
seas.—The embarkations for France have been con.
fined to Ne"httven.crom which port the Eliza packet,
Captain Lind, sailed last night, with upwards of 70
paseengers.
A smuggling vessel from Fecamp, by stress
of
weather, made a daring landing on our beach on
Wmlnesday night. The violence of the surf 'toyed
her timbers; but the alacrity with which her cargo
' was dispatched, has eluded the vigilance of the
offwers, and their general search has hitherto bees
unsuccessful.
