DUBLIN, DECEMBER 27. There is a greater bunk in getting all flips ready! for lea than ufoal, and it is Paid that a hotter prefa sailt loon take place than ewer was known. The order will be, to prefa from all proteitions. Ye&Way, his Excellency the Earl of HARDWICK' held a Privy Council at the Cattle, upon bullnafs chiefly relating to mercantile !hipping. Orders arrived at OA on Saturday morning from the Adjutant General's Office, for difcharging the heavy baggage of the isth, Both, and 96th regiments, which we Rated force time Since to have remained on board the tranfports in the river. Friday and Satur day the firft battalion of the 59th regt. marched into Limerick from Loughrea, &c. on their route to Cork. The Moll Noble the Marquis of BLAIIDTOILD lan week diiributed his annual bounty of Booth. weight of beef and mutton to the poor of Earley. Lail week upwards of 3000 poor perfons in the neighbourhood of Blenheim partook of the annual Chriftmas bounty of his Grace the Duke of Mal Lao. souo m. The ufual number of fat oxen, and a pro. portionate quantity of bread, was divided amongft them: and at the fame time the liberal donation of her Grace the Duchefs of MA ft L sozouc it was diftributed, as efual amongst the poor widows and married wo men in Wood Bock. LAUNCH Or THI Hiss FILIGATIYOIIIIIIIAy, the appointed for launching the Hass frigate, at his Ma-, jetty's yard. at Deptford, her Royal Highnefs the Princefs'of SVat.is fignified her intention of honour.' ing the launch with her pretence. At a quarter pall one o'clock her Royal Highnefs arrived in a coach and four, attended by two Ladies : they were con dulled on board the Royal Sovereign yacht, and very politely received by Admiral DouGLas ; the Volun teers of the yard faluted her Royal Highnefs as (he palled, and the band of the Tower Hamlets Militia played " Coo lave the King." At half pati one the frigate (lathed mr.ll naajellically into the water, amidfl an immenfe coneourte of fpeelators, the band play ing " Rule Immediately after the launch her Royal Highnefs went into the Rate room, and after taking Tome refrefliment, landed, and left the yard greeted by the huzzas of the fpettators. Her Royal Higlinefs was dreffed in a green velvet while, and velvet hat and feather of the fame colour, and appeared in very good fpirits. The frigate is pierced Lir 36 guns, but rated only at 3z ; the is already crp pered, and will be fpeedily i igged and fitted for lea ; the is built of fir, and ha. heal but little more than four months ander hand.—No accident of any kind occurred. Yefterday the Serpentine River again difplayed a concourte cf fpedators, attraded to the ice by the fineoef. of the day and curiofity to behold the rival fhip of many accomplifhed &liters. The latter were not fo numerous as on Sunday, but more filed. A gentleman executed the word “.Billingrea" with alma as much accuracy as a fehool-matter would in felting a copy fur his pupil. About one o'clock a gentle. man of fingular appearance attrafted the attention of the fpedators ; he darted fuddenly into the circle with the fwiftnefs of an arrow ; he was dreffed in dark brown clothes, his coat was very than, and the tkirts lapping over, and buttoning in front to the bottom, the whole edged with fur. He alto wore a brown beaver fur cap, tippet, and a (mall muff of the fame kind : his Araks were remarkably long in the point, broad, and turning up almoft to his knee ; they were fattened to a fort of bufkin, without any buckles or 'traps, and were fo firm as to appear a part of the foot. laken altogether, they were the molt complete preparation for the purpole we have ever Peen. The perfon of this gentleitian was tall and athletic. but his movements were by no means grace ful ; his great advantage over his competitors was in his fupertor fwiftneti, as he darted from one part of the river to the other with the velocity of a bird, outftnpping all who attempted to vie with him. H is exit was as fudden and onexpeded as his Satre. He difappeared in an inftant. leaving no trace of him behind. Enquiries were made in all directions, but we could only learn that he is a native of Scotland, and had been many years refident at St. Peterfburgb. A great number of faationables were prefent. Lord VILLIERS was entitled to great praife. from his eafy and graceful movements, even in the execu tion of the molt difficult parts of the art. The Hon. ART!, YR Urrom and Mr. HARVEY were alto among the molt graceful fkaiters. Capt. llowaen, for a (bort time, drew the atten tion cf eves y perfon prefeni, by his bold and daunt lets method of turning lowa' times round on one leg. then throwing himfelf backward three or four yards, alighting on the other, and (pinning round . 41 it ten or twelve times without intermilfim— He continued in this pradice for about a quarter of an hour, when, unfortunately, having thrown himfelf off his centre of gravity. lie fell upon his fide, and !tided in that fituation a confiderable difiance on the ice. As Coon as it was known to his friends that he had received no injury, they immediately gave him the grand falute, by taking their hats off. and mak-, ing the fpread eagle in a circle round him, before he had time again to get upon his legs. Captain Bowan), immediately after, quitted the ice. Be tween three and four o'clock, a young Lady, dreffed In a bla. k velvet fpencei, with a b:aver hat and fea .her, made her appearance. It wa; her aril attempt it is feall.n, and the acquitted heptelf to the admira tion of all present, never betraying the flighteft fyrnp-1 tom of fear, but (lathing along in a fpirited (kyle.— She exprelf:d a great inclination to try the out edge ; hut being advifed by a young Gentleman who held her band, fir ,'. to make herfelf perfed miftrefs of plain !kaiting ; contented not to attempt it then, at the fame time declaring, that nothing could induce her to keep from trying it to-morrow, if the Iron fhould continue. She did not leave the Park until near five. The ice was yellerday fufficiently firong to bear ..Imoft th- weight of a coach and fix honks, and in eonfequence the timid were under no apprehenfions of endangering their lives—indeed, (o well perfuad ed were many Ladies of fafbion of their perfonal fafety. that they ventured to walk acrofs the ice tit:Attended. Among others we noticed the Duchefs Of Roxauacu, Lady Moarsra, Lady HUI IST CA•SIODISH, lady C. Postsoma v, Madernoifelle Sr. JuLio. The Marquis of 1-lupirisicoos, Lord MOE. r Mr. CLIFFOID, &C.

By a paffenjger in the New Staden, from Penang, (which arrived at Cowes on the 17th we learn that the Fri:leers Mary, Captain GIUSTI, ' from Bengal, arrived at St. Helena on the a Ift of September; and that a fignal was flying for a large (hip in fight, fuppofed to be the Northampton.l A letter from one of the crew of the Fame, of Hull, Rates, that they had been landed, and were marching op as prifemers to Valenciennes, and were treated very well. By acceounts which have been received from one of our cruising frigates which looked into the Teel on the sad of December, it appears, that two line of battle Gips, which had been lying for fome time at anchor in that place, had been compelled, by the ftrefs of weather, to go into the Nicu Diep, where they, with the whole of the Dutch fleet, were entire ly frozen in. The Weltburger, KOSTER from London to Va rel, arrived at Hull on Wedn'efday. This veffel was off the mouth of the Jade on Sunday the 16th.

A pilot l i boat boarded the Patsc ass ROYAL at anchor; at which time threc large (hips were in the offing, and the TH V N oats I beating up to windward into Bantry Bay. Since the arrival of the above account, we are lorry to learn that the Tit u apostle had got a(hore, but under what circnmftances we have not been made acquainted.—His Majefty's (hip DLYAD, the East.

Another large line of battle Blip has made her ap pearance In the Bay.—The TH UNDIREIL no: yet got off. LOSS OF THE SEVERN. The following is a detailed account of the eircum• (lances attending the lots of his Majelly's flip the &VEIN " Guernfey, December i 6. 46 It was noticed fame days fince that the Seams, lying in Grouville Bay, had fuffered very much in a heavy gale of wind ; that the drifted, tonched on a rock, and injured her bottom, brake her rudder, and one fluke of her fleet anchor, which was fuppofed not to have been a good one. At the fiat it was intend ed that the Mould have gone to England to be repair ed. Unfortunately the did not ; and a violent gale of wind with revere Iron let in from the N. E. which blew direftly on chore—a 'bore without Richer, and full of dangerous rocks. Wednefday night, the I 9th innant, at one o'clock, the cot away her main•rnall next morning her mixen.—About twelve o'clock the was teen driving on (bore, having parted all her an. chars. Never was a more anxious fcene. The tide was out, which left a strand of near a mile from the redoubts. Here were affembled in fearful agitation all the military in barracks at Grouville, confining of fifteen hundred men, betides tome of the inhabi tants of the illand. Among thefe was Commodore the Duke de Boutu.on. He was obliged to witnefs the fate of his Ihip. Almolt dofe on the lands, the was Peen drifting on the blocks and craggy points of a rock. Every exertion was made by the Comman• der on board, Lieutenant D'Auvaitotte, (brother to the Prince) to turn her head off. It was truly dif. treffing to fee the unavailing efforts made to get up fomething of a fail to the point of the foreman that was 'landing. As (he came near the rock the terror of the fpe6ators encreared. Infenfible to the moll piercing cold and violence of the form, and up to their knees in water, they flood alrnoft holding out their hands to the people on board, fo near did the 11143 drift, as if they could catch at and rave them— while the continued firing gun after gun for affinance that the could not receive. Such was the fury of the winds and wives, that inevitable dare/lion teemed to await the unfortunate crew. By the uncommon exertions of the military. Come boats were got, and dragged along the lands with great difficulty, and then attempted to be, in defpight of the elements, forced to lea. Officers and mere were ken up to their waif in water, ((riving in this virtuous canted who &mild arrive with the fuccours fire, but all in vain. The boats were obliged to return from many vain at. tempts to reach the (hip, which was now fall on the rock. In this dreadful fufpence two boats from the ALcar ea (who rode out the form and was to wind. ward) reached the Seesaw. Ropes were got to the chore, and by five in the evening every creature (above three hundred) were landed in fafety. One man only remained on board, and would not, it is Paid, quit the !hip. About eleven o'clock at night the got off the rock, and the fpring tide carried her dole in to the ()tore. Next day (Friday) the wind continued almoft as fierce and cold as before. Parties from the MI and 69th, to the amount of three hundred men, were employed all day in getting her Ames out. Sa turday the fame.—She is now quite a wreck, and lice, when the tide is out, quite dry. It is not fuppofed that the ever can be got off. It was very fortunate that, in all this difanrous period. no life was loft, nor did any accident happen to the mcn : they are nriftly lodged in an empty barrack at Grouville.—During the form a cutter was drove on (bore, and was near being lot. Confiderable fears were entertained for the ALcasaa ; the, however, rope out the form : and on Saturday, the weather being moderate, the got round to St. Helier'(.—The Bay of Grouville, B in lay Bay, and all the coati oppofite to Comm., tfcc. is now without a flip of war of any defcription." 42 34 II at Captain LOIACIC is appointed to the command of the Panics Gsoacs, 0/98 guns, at Plymouth.
