<P>ALthough there are too many Per&s;ons remain &s;till a|mong&s;t us, who do both &s;ecretly and openly favour the <HI>French</HI> Intere&s;t, magnifie their Power and Wisdom, and wi&s;h good Succe&s;s to their Arms, in order to re&s;tore the late abdicated King; notwich&s;tanding &s;o many fre&s;h Examples of their implacable Malice and Cruelty again&s;t the <HI>Northern</HI> He|re&s;ie, as they call it, that is, the Prote&s;tant Religion, endeavou|ring by all po&s;&s;ible Methods to root it out; &s;o that no Per&s;ons in their right Minds can imagine, but that &s;hould they prevail (which God forbid) they would entirely de&s;troy both our Re|ligion and Liberty: For if they continue to exerci&s;e &s;uch un|heard of Cruelties on their own Countrey-men and Neigh|bours, what mu&s;t Strangers expect?</P>
<P>The la&s;t Week there put into <HI>Dartmouth</HI> a &s;mall <HI>French</HI> Ve&s;&s;el, about twenty five Tuns, which brought in about Twenty <HI>French</HI> Prote&s;tants, Men, Women and Children, who are well known to their Brethren of <HI>Darthmouth,</HI> where they have a Pa&s;tor and Congregation. Some of the&s;e poor People had procured this Ve&s;&s;el, and put a &s;mall Quantity of Wines and Brandies on board, pretending to go for <HI>Dunkirk</HI> in Company of a great Fleet that was thither bound, with a &s;upply of Pro|vi&s;ions for the <HI>French</HI> Armies in <HI>Flanders;</HI> and for &s;o doing, they were forced to give &s;ecurity by &s;ome of their Brethren who were to remain (as they thought) at home: But in the Night-time they got all their Securities, with their whole Families on board, hid them away in the be&s;t manner they could to pre|vent Di&s;covery. Some in Cask, others in Bags, and &s;o came up our Channel with the <HI>French</HI> Fleet, and took their Opportu|nity in the Night-time to &s;teer away for <HI>Dartmouth,</HI> where they got in in &s;afety, and relate that their Brethren, who have been Dragoon'd, do mo&s;t earne&s;tly wi&s;h and hope for &s;ome Deliverance from their mo&s;t barbarous Oppre&s;&s;ion, of which there is now a good Pro&s;pect entertain'd.</P>
