The Norfolk Ledger, in copying the rumour (published in the Comniercial Aett;•eytiser last even ing) from the Wilmington Gazette, addS the fol lowing,:—" We understand that Admiral Cock burn stated, that on his passage from Bermuda he spoke a vessel, from which. he obtained infOrma t ion that the WTasp had been taken off Charleston_ after a bloody conflict." Taking this in con nexiou with the other 'reports in,circulation, there is some ground to apprehend that the Wasp is captured.. _ _ GRAND LOTTERY PRIZE JAN. 27, 1815.—N0. 2 . 61, drawn this (l).• a Prize of TWENTY..THoUSAND POUNDS,• and as the first-drawn Prize . above 25/. farther entitled to TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS MORE, making to gether a Prize of FORTY.

The Prince d'Auvergne is every moment expected from Eng land, to take-possession of. the Duchy, - which Was been in .the hands of the French ever since 1789.

S. E. which, in the course of the night and •yesterday, increased to extreme Oil' lenee, .occasioning the, most tremendous sea 011 this coast we have witnessed for nmi years.- - Three unfortunate vessels were 'seen i , ,,Testerdi furenpon, whey two ,of them,- a" brig. and schooner, appeared standing to the southward; Luttifrom the strong flood-tide, were carried near. the Girdleness, when it was too evident: their tuation:was.extretnely critical and perihins. The brig having wore, before. one P. M. stood for the harboutc and for some time a hope was enter-. tabled Ober being able to gain the port in safety , but this was most unhappily frustrated,l4 the awful catastrophe which the 'many assembled • anxious spectators, with painful and agonised feelings, sool l witnessed ; for a few minutes the vessel, in'hattl ing to the northward, was struck on the broad side by a tremendous wave, which, breaking over her as. high as the tops, threw her on the broad side, with the top sails in the water. The vessel, after being thus for some time overwhelmed, again righted, when the sails being to appearance tore - and flying loose, owing to the sheets giving way, she was no longer manageable, and. lay niatil the succeeding wave, by which, melanCholy to relate, she was immediately ingulphed, with all on board, in the merciless ocean ! The . sehooner having got to the southwiid of the Ness, was, by signal of some pilots, mid others, directed to the Bay of sigg, as affording the only remaining chance of saving the crew, of which, alas ! the greater part were doomed to: suffer the like melancholy fate of the former.; for before the vessel struck, the. unfortunate. seamen betook thernselves.to the rigging, from whichf afterwards two of them, and one from off the deck, were suc cessively .washed ; while the Master, with the .ut- Most difficulty, reached the shore by. clinging to the main-boom, and Was conveyed, in a very ex hausted state, to the Rev. Mr. CannEx's - house, by whose characteristic humanity and attention every comfort his situation required was admi nistered, gird he is, we learn, 'in the way of re- eovery.. _ _ _ About two hours afterwards, while theSe cala mitous and distressing scenes filled every mind with the most.. painful emotions, the third vessel, .under circumstances similar tOtbefornter, appear- ed standingfrom south-eastivard,under the square-, ; sail, try-sail, and storm-jib, and for a consider able time steered with a favourable prospect for. the harbour, until one "of those tremendous seas - , with which she was now surrounded, laid the vessel on her beam-ends, and the mast nearly, the water. The smack after some time rose a gain; but only .to exhibit, by her torn sails and sheets, the certainty of' that drtad fate that was no longer to be avoided, owing to her beii4 thus rendered unnavigable ; and after yawing - ' round and running to the southward, she struck anlong the rocks in the Grey Hope, near the fata l spot where the Oscar Greenland hip suffered' Six or eight people were seen in the rigging, and' imagination alone can paint the anxiety and , row which pervilded the minds of the numerous spectators, assembled near the.spcit, during the short period of their suspended fate, it being itn possible to render them any assistance. The un fortunate men Were soon washed off ; two . 01 them, howeVer; clung some time to the rigging', and when their fate seemed at hand, were seen to shake hands by a. number of those. who witnessed the heart-rending scene, and soon after disap peared, the vessel heing.now a total wreck ! This vessel proved to be the Thames smack, of this port; Scow, With a valuable cargo of goods, from London, part of which,-in a damaged state, is .expected to be saved. The crew consisted .of nine persons, exclusive of two steerage passengers, all which with certainty were ktpwn ; to be oil board. .Th . e . othef two ill-fated vessels were the brig Caledonia, HENDERSON, • and schooner Pro- Vidence, FINDLA, the former supposed to have six or seven persons on board, and the latter tour or five, and bbth vessels coal-loaded.—Captain FINDLAY reports, that he sailed from Sunderland on Wednesday morning last:,' with several other vessels',. for whose safety the most serious appre hensions are entertained.
