Notice ofanewly.discoverad Shoal.—lt is singu; fatly remarkable, that notwithstanding the lapse of 320 years, since Vasquez de (lama opened the passage between India and Etn ope by the way of the Cape of 'Good Hope, the discovery of a shoal, imminently dangerous both from its extent and situation, to ships frequenting that - route, should be reserved for this late clay. Such however is the fact : a very dangerims shoal having been . ' recent ly discovered•a few degrees to the Eastward of the Cape, by the'American ship Uni 7n, on her pas, sage from New YOrk to the Isk: of Fiance. Asit is of importance to the interests of 'navigation that the position of this newly-disoovei ed danger be as speedily and. widely promulgated as possible, we embrace the earliest opportunity. to give in sertion to the annexed extract, containing de scription of this shoal, from a journal' kept on board his Majesty's ship Ties-idea,.
