average with the Hell ships, and as far as I have heard of
the situation of et:teary, I am afraid there will be little
done after this. " G. LANCASTER."

The driving-boats in Mounts' Bay have given up the
mackerel fishery, and commenced driving for pilchards.
—Few, however, of the latter fish has vet been
taken. The sears are preparing—we trust the ensuing
season will be more successful than those of the last seven
years, during which the failure of the pilchard fishery
has involved great numbers of the fishermen and adven-
turers in difficulties and distress.—{/Vest Briton.)
Friday night, about twelve o'clock, as two of the
Bast Cuwes Preventive-boat's crew, commanded by Lieut.
T. Jackson, were out on duty, near West-Cowes, they
met five men with contraband spirits, and on calling
them to surrender, they were instantly anrrounded by a
large gang of about 30 men, armed with bludgeons, who
knocked one of the boatmen down, and repeated their
blows as be lay bleeding on the ground, till, thinking
him dead, they threw him over a gate into a gentleman's
shrubbery : the other boatman was left on the ground
with his head cut in several places in a shocking man
ner: the poor fellows, however, are in a fair way of
recovery.
By the New York Papers which arrive) yesterday, it
appears that some fears were entertained at New York of
the re appearance of the yellow fever. One or two cases
had occurred, 'a it it was hoped timely precaution would
prevent its increase.
The Gazette of last night contains the following an-
nouncement t

Foreign Office, July 29, 1828.
It has been notified by the French Minister for Foreign
Affairs to the Ambassadors and Ministers of Neutral
Powers, at Paris, " That the French tioveroinent, has
declared an effective blockade of the ports of Cadiz, Bar-
celona, Santona, and St. Sebastian."

Extract of a leiter from a Gentleman of Glasgow:
Caen, Jwty la, 1823.
" In the harbour of Havre there is at present much
bustle. occasioned by a great many American ships which
are discharging their cargoes, consisting principal;y of
cotton. The quantity of that article is so great, that it
is actually piled on the quays in immense heaps, larger
almost than ordinary bay stacks. The inner harbour,
which Is of a prodigious size, is literally filled with tlir
Frerrh ships with their masts struck, and awnings over
them, laid up as useless, living to the Spanish war,
which is, in this part of the country, unpopular with all
ranks, classes, and professions. 1 underrand an int.
mense number of workmen have ►een discharged from
the different manufactories in this part of France, and
that a considerable number of Englishmen, who were
employed as eotton•spinners, hatters, &c. have returned
home. not being any longer able to find employment
berg."
