the English have thrown at us fell into the sea.
These infernal machines arc formed of tin tubes,
about 2 feet lung and 3 inches thick, filled with
combustibles and balls. They cannot be approach-
ed without the greatest danger.
l'he cold hat, within these few days, set in
with great sevei ity, and as we can have no com-
munication on the sea-side, good fire-wood has
