after the manner of the French, which proved fuccessful beyond their expectations, as they brought on shore the next morning more fish than the whole fleet of boats belonging to that place often catch in one night, with their trauls. The fishermen now complain that they fhall catch more fish than they can find fale for. Early in the morning, nine cafks, filled with dollars, faid to be not lefs than one million eight hundred thoufand, were brought under a ftrong guard from Dover by the coach, and delivered at the White Horfe cellar. They are faid to have arrived from France a few hours before; and to have been fent to England for the use of fome great French perfonages. The cafks were upwards of fifteen hundred weight, and the price of conveyance was twenty-fix guineas.

In endeavouring to heave the boat over the fide, a dreadful and tremendous fea broke over the French brig, and ftove the boat to pieces. The vefich was now perfectly water-logged, and her gunwale below the furface of the fea. In this diftreffed fituation, capt. Crofs, with an humanity which does him infinite honour, immediately hoifted out his own boat; and though the fea ran mountains high, by perfeverance, fortunately got along-fide the brig, and took in the captain and all the crew fafe. In a few minutes after, the French brig went down. Capt. Crofs immediately relieved them with necessaries of all forts, brought them fafe into this port, and kept them on board till an opportunity offered of fending them home.
