During the late heavy gales great fears were en tertained for the safety of the chesterli`eld packet, commanded by Captain STARIt WOOD, and which sails regolarly between Southampton and Havre de Grace, she haviag been some days on her voy age beyond her usual time ; she is, however, ar rived perfectly safe, and the Captain gave the 101- lowing account :--ThatonThurday, the 21st inst.: the Owers Lights bearing east 6 or 7 miles, he 4 saw a ship in a distressed anti perilous situation, with her main and fore-masts carried away ; he immediately stood towards her, 'to render her as- Ostance, and found her to be the Plicenix trans- if port, from Quebec, having on board those valu able men alto volunteered as the builders for the Lakes in America during the war, nearly two hundred persons ; they begged to be takenan tow, w.hich was ,done as quick as circumstances would permit, and after two days he succeeded in placing her safely at Pot tsmouth ; she was a fine ship el 500 tons.

Thirty-eight 'of these MSS. forming part of the 500 MSS. of the Vatican, which the Papal Govern ment ceded to the French Republic in 1797, by the Treaty 'Of Tolentino, were deposited iu the National Library at Paris. We have long wished for the recovery of our lost treasures, and at last the opportarnity presented itself on the general re storation last atiortnn of the worts of art, of which the French had robbed other commies; and this opportunity, Which offered the prospect of re= towering rapt only the 38 Hiedclberg MSS. but the whole oftlie Bibliotlreca Palatina carried to• Rome., was not leftunimproved by our Government. As soon as it" was ascertained that a' reclamation of 'this kind would• he readily attended to by the nisters of the Allied Powers, : Professor W Ike!), Protector 'of : our University ; was commissioned, on the 2d of •SePtember, to proceed to Paris, in order to prosecute the claims. To the tnicorn monly active assistance of . the Austrian Mini ster, Count Wessenberg., and the Prussian, Ba ron Hipuboldt, we have it to ascribe, that the Papal COttitiaissioners, the brot het s Canova and. • the Abbate Marini, agreed without any difficul ty to gite up the 38 MSS. to the University of Meidvlberg, the Pope's approbation being first obtained and, that in the mean time, until this sanction, the .above/MSS.. should be placed in the hands of General MoOling, the Governor Of Paris, which was accordingly done. That the Papal approbation would not be withheld, might have:been expected with certainty from the known reasonableness and justice of the present Head of the Church. This hope has been frustrated.— To-day a letter has been received from Prince Hardenberg, acquainting. the University that the hope has given his consent to the restorkt ', tion of the above 3S MSS. Thus a part of our 'once celebrated literary treasures returns to Us, among "kb is the, famous Codex Palm anus of the th'Clk Anthology, the MSS. of small, geographical works; the AntoitinuS which Bast, in his Critical Letters to M. Boisson nadc, destribes and uses in so moterly a manner, four ancient .and valuable MSS. of Plutareli's Works, &c. ; and we are also entitled to cherish the hope that the future steps taken for the recovery of those remaining in the Vatican, will beegoally successful. Among others we may expect that the valuable monuments of our ancient language and poetry, which could with difficulty he made use of at Rome, will be restored to their home from banishment. It may undoubtedly he hoped that the literary treasures torn from Germany by inconsiderate religious animosity, will be willingly restored by the Papal Chair, that -,has been - *so highly indebted to the Powers of Germany. THE LATE DOCTOR VINCENT. The Very Iteverenti WILLWA Vltvcwr, Doctor of Divinity, who .died at his lodgings, in the Clois ters of Westminster Abbey, on Touriday:last, iii his 77th rear, was, at ,the time of his death, Dean of the Cathedral Church of St. Peter's, West minster, andritecttir of Islip, in Oxfordshire ; and formerly Sub Almoner of the Sing, and Prolo cutor of the Lower liouse of Convocation. He was educated at Westminster School, from the fOundition of which he was elected to Trinity College; Cambridge ;.from whence having return ed at the end of sour years, he spent the greater part of his subsequent life in directing the „educa tion of others within those walls in Which he had received. his own ;- and having successively passed through the ollices of Usher, and of Under and Upper Master, was appointed Dean of Westmin ster about' the year 1803 ; thus meeting with au honourable and most appropriate reward for that conscientious' discharge of his duly which had awaked his whole life. • • We shall not, or the present occasion, P.te;:rpt to record more particularly the.history of him, whose lamented death we have announced ; for, doubtless, the biography of a 'cliar"attcr so emi nently distinguished in literature, will be givens from better sonrces. 'We shall only oliserre, with respect to his literary distinction, that his admira ble and excellent work on the " Commerce and Navigation of the• Ancients," has made his name nearly as famitiar among the learned of the Con tinent, as of his own country ; s and yet we believe it may be - strlctiy said, that this elaborate work was almoSt entirely composed during his hours of leisure. _ _ _ But his talents and erudition, and his felicity in communicating instruction to, and improving the talents of - others,-were among the least valuable parts of his inestimable character ; and many are they, who, in reading these word,, will call to mind his pure simplicity •of heart and manners, his affectionate regartl' fur those whom either na ture or the offices of his station had placed under his care or protection, and his entire devotednoss to the clause 4 - true reiigion,iit every thought, anck word, and action of .his life.. i
