From the fragments of a wreck Washed on • 'shore On Wednesday morn inelast,.•near Sandsund Ness, about Three, miles North ofWhitby, there 'is reason so believe that a vessel, with lieetireiv, had been lost upon the rocks off that place, in the course of the preceding night. Some of the articles were.branded with the name isehelle, of North Shields." 04 Wednesday . noon two light vessels, the Eleanor, PINE. and Noble, RousoN, front London, got sate into Whitby .Har batir, almost contrary to expedation, the sea break ing with tremendous violence a considerable tance from the shore. A third, which appeared to be loaded,. in runnisei - for the harbour, was not so fortunate : when within a mils.! of the pier, a heavy sea threw the vessel upon her broadside y in the space of a few minutes she came upright, with part 'of her crew clinging to the rigging, and shortly after wards another wave threw her down on the opposite 'side, and precipitated her to the bottom, in the view of a great number of spalators, who were chilled with horror at she sight, and at their iawn inability to render the unhappy sufferers the smallest assist :ance. The bottoms of two vessels sire driven, a.shore aUSaltwink, near Whitby, but it cannot be ascer tained what vessels they were. The Brigantine "'they - , and the 'Sloop Brunton„ of Whitby, are on shore near the Tees. Two vessels, whose names we haVe not been able to ascertain, are likewise on shore at Skinningrave, about live Miles South of the 'Tees. The John and Ann, of Scarberpugh, in ballast, is lost near the Mirth part of Scarborough Castle, and the Mate drowneif : e rest ,of .th . crew saved. The .Mary, Wksour, of and from Yarmouth, with barley, for Grangemouth, is also totally , lost near flit: SpaW, at Scarborough, but fortunately the crew were saved by the life-boat. The Matthews, CoLLizos, of Shields, front Newcastle; was driven ashore` near Bridlingtou, in attempting to run for the. harbour. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM HULL, DATED NOV. 15. 14 The Salerno, SCHOES, 'and Supply, CARTY:II, arrived here this evening from Riga, in a passage 'of twenty-eight days from that port. They left the Sound on Monday last, under convoy of the Pan dora Sloop of -War, with several Vessels laden with stores, and some .Merchant Ships, for London ; among the latter was i khe L ord Mulgrope, G,t,t AY, of , Whitby. When the Salerno arrived hi Copenhagen grounds, she was hailed by a Brig Cutter, stationed there to prevent 'Vessels from , going through. the King's Channel, and was direoted to proceed throagh the channel between Salthohn. and Mainioe, in 0 R:or te'secine herfrom the attacks of the Danish row boats, offCopen bagel). We are sorry to say, that about tweati British merchant vessels, one of them said to belong to this port, were lying at Elsinore, cap tured by row-boats so close to the shore 'that our Cruizers could not get near enough to 'prevent it ; foUr of them were said to have sailed with the Lon • don convoy, in which the Margaret Srar4Dt.ovit, names of any of the prizes w ere no t w icio n w y n. tiut the The Angrtardopf 74 glins, and a .Frigate, were lying al)out two miles beloW Copenhagen ; vend others, of.our Ships of War were .611 licking,- burgh. Capt. SC/TOLES . did not meet with any Cruisers in the Baltic. The weather had been very stormy. A Danish Ship of War, one of the Copen hagen priies, which •liad run agronnd 1 few. miles below Copenhagen, and could not be get oil', had , been stripped of her :rigging, stores, &e. and burnt.

Lurron; ' the scene lies in Pertugal.—That part -of the , fable which gives the PieCe, its name relates to the double character in which Claudine, the heroine, .appears. Tier lather, the Marquis Raimondi, havA ing, in the earlier part of his life, dissipated his for, tune by play, relinquishes his nobility, mil embarki in commerce; by which he.acqeires propertyisuai eient to enable him to reclaim his honours. .cident is obviously derived from STERNE'SSentimental Jonyney. Dering the timetbat the Marquis Was employed in mercantile pursuits, he placed his daugh4 ter elaudine under the care of a relation; to be brought up asi'cottager, and this relation is ordered to con ceal from Claudine the former rank of her father. In this situation she is seen by Count Ignacio, who fills in love with her; but as the person who pre- tested Claudine dies, she had been placed in a soar vent, and Ignacio is ignorant of her retreat. When liainiondi reclaims nobility, Ignacio, attends the ceeeniony, and seeing . Claudine, dressed with splen their sti,itable to her lather's rank, lie is struck with the resemblance between her and his fair Cottager; but.does not know that she is the same person. Be.. ing,ot g,:dlant turn, he pays homage to her be:ln v, f end solicits her hand. Claudine by this dream stance, is tempted to.resume.her rustic attire, and to remind him of his former pretensions. Hence .comas the titleef the Piece. In the due progress of things, and after various obstacles, the lovers are united, and the Opera concludes, as usual, with a promiseof general. happiness. , We have given a mere outline of the Piece, which contaios. a Mgitiplieity of minor incidents, r,lative to other Charaaers, their attachineets; their Jealou sies,: and' heii subsequent onions; all of win ch, of cotiriie; produce :t variety that relieves the attention of : the audience.
