Spithead, Sept. 15. The moft part of our cruize has been confined to the latitudes of 18 and 50 N. longitude, two degrees and a half to the weftward of the Lizard, alternately standing in for, and making the ifland of Ufhant, on the French coaft, and the Lizard on our own, but more particularly anxious to keep a good look-out on the port of Breft, probably with a design to prevent any junction taking place between the fleets of the house of Bourbon: be the intention what it might, notwithstanding we fpread a great diftance with forty-nine fail of pendents, and frequently stood within a few leagues of Ufhant, we never defcried a fingle man of war of any nation whatever. A fignal indeed was made a few days ago from one of the fleet, for feeing two French line of battle fhips fteering for Breft, but it could not be clearly afcertained they were fuch; we rather supposed them Eaft-India

Leaves, Sept. 20. On Monday last, about mid-day, an excife officer and a light dragoon, from Battel, on Hooe Common, fell in with feven fmugglers, and nine horfes laden, of which they took feven, and were escorting them to Battel; but at Ninfield Stocks they were overtaken by the fmugglers, who attempted to rescue their horfes and goods; and after a flying fkirmish, in which one of the smugglers had his horse fhot dead under him by the excife officer, they effected it, and having exchanged their dead horfe for the excifeman's living one, marched off in triumph. To prevent a purfuit, the fmugglers drove the dragoon's horfe about two miles before them; when, thinking themfelves fafe, they hired a man to take him back again.
