YESTERDAY and this day, some sails, spars, &c. and some casks of butter, have come on shore both to the E a st and West of this town ; from whence it is appreheaded some vessel has been wrecked upon the Bell Rock, so fatal to shipping on, this Cost. It is reported that twO'dead bodies have cone on shore to the westward. A Danish rigged vessel; quite unmanageable, is at anchor about three miles off, and as the sea runs very high, great apprehensions are entertained for her safety. ST. PEIERSBURGH, DEc. ro. litE It Lobe& and two Swedish Ships were yes-- terday haepily brought through the ice, in which they were irozen at seven wersts, or about five miles from Cronstadti. into Cronstadt Harbour. Four of them came from French and German Ports, and one had just sailed from this place. They were all deeply laden, and in the greatest danger of being cut in pieces' by the ice. Capt. PRI EtiN, of Lu beck, who. bad already lost an anchor, and saw de stration before his eyes, ventured, at the hazard of his life, to go on shore over' the loose j)ieces of ice, to seek assistance ; he found in Mr. NIEMANN courage and readiness to assist him.. An Officer and •4z volunteers, Oder PRIEIIN'S And Ni Eivia.tiN's di. reaion,offered to remove bff the dangerous floats of the drift ice, to relieve the Ships from their ex treme danger. Provided with hoards, and tools for breaking up the ice, . they. proceeded, one the e4thNovernoer, towards PRI BIM'S Ship, the Anna Christina, whjeb lay still, in opcn water, three wersts from the flat strand of the shore, and eight wersts from - Cronstadt, close before the drift ice. Being prevented by the fog and driving snow from discovering their way, they wandered about for five hours upon the it:e , till, by continually calling our, they succeeded in making themselves perceiv. ed by 'the crew of the Ship, who answered them with a speaking trumpet ; but when they reached the Ship, it was teik late to undertake any thing that day, and the, therefore' returned to'Cronstadt. The next day N 4 Ni,‘, , :a! took a comrais with - him tt; 411 ,1 Ittic way. They t.c tn_lp bi - ek, - ke, and thus made A channel, through which they brought the do fathoms nearer the more fixed ice. The 2611, in the morning, they perceived,. with astonishmew, that a large mass of ice, before Which 'PR t guii!s,Ship had lain the day before, had drifted away in the night r . and,that if it had nut been brought .the preceding day farther- into the fixed, ice, it woula,probably have been driven ashore, did cut to pieces, Half a werst from Pgl t UN's Ship lay the Swedish Ship Ft yheten, Capt. in' the fixed ice.' Help' was also affOrded to this Vessel, - The three following days they worked, these two Shipi through two channels to the nearest Lubecker, the North Star, Capt. LANGE, which lay six wersts from Cronstadr. When these three were united, they made, a channel through the ice . to the Swedish Ship Venus, Capt.LotsnrltG, and, to the Lubecker Ship Einigheit, Capt.. STRICK which .were at a small distance. Continued - frost and cairn weather now favoured the work, which, in the first four days, had been excessively impeded by the fog and drifting snow, the workmen having to stand from eight in the morning to four in the afternoon, constantly in the water, which gushed up as they broke the ice away. Many tell into ,the water, but were always happily extricated. After twelve days most fittiguing and dangerous labour, all the five ships were brought eight wersts through the ice safely into the Harbour,; and by. NiEr4ANN's 'indefatigable aflivity and courage, this brave man, who, as well as his 'Companions, regardo neither health not life, succeeded in saving the crews, the ships, and the cargoes. The violent gale from the South which rages to.day, and has set the ice again adrift, -would certainly have 'driven these ships ashore, where they must have shared the Cite of the English ship the Princess of Wales ? Capt. 'You XG. NEIr-YORK, Die. 6. CAPTAIN PZRR I Np of the Ship Richard, informs, that on the 29th of November, in lat. 36. 50. long. 65. saw a vessel to the S. W. which appeared to be in imitate distress ; he gave orders to bear down to her, and, on a nearer approach, found it to be a wreck The yawl was immediately launched,, al. thOngh it then blew a stiff breeze, and fortunately returned to ; the ship.witlithe . Mate, and six of the Crew of 'the Brig Brutus, of Rochester, bound to the West Indies. The - account given by the sur vivors, of the melancholy accident, is as follows On the sth of November, towards 'night, a heavy stiitall of wind came on, which upset the Brig at a time when almost all hands were below. The Cap. tain, an old man, and a boy, were in the cabin at . that period, the former of whom was unfortunately drowned ; the two latter escaped ,by clinging to windward, and were 'taken out through the scuttli: the' next day, by the surviving part of the'rew, who had cutaway the foremast, and caused the v es. sel' tt? - ' tight, though completely water.logirll, They contriVed to blild" a sheltering but 6:) tnain.d(xk, and by *Woking through a bulk.l:,:oi, gt►t At the . provisions. For the twenty.fottr days they lived on-raw meat and meal ; and when brought on board, had nothing on but trowsers *and shirts. They had experienced very bad weather, the sea frequently breaking over them, and adding to their distress. During the period of twenty-four days, they saw eight vessels in sight, none of whom ap peared to take .the least notice of the wreck, al. . though one of them (a Brig) was in sight the whole day. The Captain of the Brutms (who unfortunate ly was•drowned), was AsA PRICE. The 'survivors_ are Mr. Shaul Norton, Mate ; Andrew Southard, George . Barlow, Seth Barlow, Nathaniel Snow, Alvin Phelps--Aa Negro), and Christian. Contkle (a boy). The 'Hercule, of 84. guns, Capt. FARR IS, IS or dered to be fitted and stored for twelve months, and to sail immediately for the Mediterranean. The Censor Gun-vessel, Lieut, .ATCHESON, is ordered to Leith to receive Seamen. The sailors at Yarmouth have entered into a re solution not to proceed to sea without an advance of wages ; in consequence of which, the Merchants not being willing to comply with their request, the ships are prevented from sailing, as they compel the sailors to leave their ships. Major-General CHuitcHit,r, is come home from amaica in the Ctrbtrus' Frigate. Cadets nominated for the East Indies,. cannot proceed if their ages shall be under fifteen . , or exceed twenty-two years, except when such Cadet has held a Commission in His Majesty'S Service for the term of one year at least; or the Militia or Fencible Corps when embodied,, and shall have joined, his Regiment; or shall have been in the Company of . Cadets of the Royal Regiment of Artillery. His age, in such cases, nor to exceed twenty.five years; the Commanders of the Company's Ships, arc not to demand tor the passage of a Cadet, more than 951. nor Third Mates more than 551. for mess. His baggage is limited to a chest, a trunk of*necessaries, a liquor case, hamper of wine, cot and bedding. The value of the Company's Ship the Hindman, lately wrecked near Margate, is stated to amount to upwards of one hundred thousand pounds ; slut is, in, eluding the ship, stores, Company's cargo, and pri vate investment. A Letter received from Deal, re presents the Hindosum to have sunk very much for_ ward, and as,the swell comes in very strong from the Eastward, little can be done, as it is become very dangerous to approach the wreck during the present weather. Part of the Hindostan's cargo has been landed at 'Whitstable, but it is a doubt whether the woollens will be worth preserving. , The new AO passed lately, to render more easy the. transportation of offenders, provides, " that whenever His IVlniesTy shall be pleased to give orders for the transportation, in any ships or vessels 'belonging to Ills MAiss-ry, of any offender or of fenders, who already have, or hereafter may he, sentenced to be transported to any place or places within His MA3 EsTy's Dominions beyond the seas, it shall be lawful for His Mnjrsrv;by any Older under his 'Royal Sign Manual, to give, if he shall think fir, to any person or persons nominated and appointed for that purpose in such Order, a property in the service of any such olfender or offenders, for such - : icon Orjetllll - Ur tire or yearS . or any part thereof respectively, for' which such offender or, of fenders, was or were ordered to be transported, as to fliS MAJESTY shall scent fit ; and on web no. minatiOn and appointment; such offender or offen ders may be delivered to the person or persons so nominated or appointcd, without any security , ing'required or given for the transportation of such offender or offenders; and every person so . mini.

PAR.TE ) the Chief 'Consul sent to' Lord Winrworurti, to say, that he, would send the Govonment.Carriap and six far .his Lordship, and that the lather's Car riage and four might follow. Lord WiirrwOßTH replied, that as he represented the KiNc of GRFAT BR ITAI . N, he could not permit•his carriage to follow with four, whilst the French carriage had six. After an hour and a half's consultation, BorrAPAitTE : feturti, ed, that what was proposed•was perfealy agreeable to him. Thus, according to the French, it is said that Peace and War depended for some time.on pwa Gen. MORE AV gave a dinner a few days ago to several Officers who served under hint during the War. Near the end of dinner his guests called for the Cook, and unanimously' decreed him a sauce4an of ho lour. 4n order for it 'was immediately given to one of the first Silversmiths in Paris, arid the al. fegnries to be engraved on it, are said to carry with them the most curious allusions. A report has'been received in Town, that, some tinteaga a French trading \reseal seas seized by Gttezxn p A ctir, of Actta, the cargo confiscated, and the crew put. into irons. The hRsT Coitsut. made a very humble application to him, through the . Ottoman Torte, for the deliverance of the people ; to which he is .said to have replied,:that, as BortA,. TARTE had made war upon him at the time when he was at peace with the. Porte, he could not now yield to any request of his, by any other means than a Minister sent direilly to Acre from the French Republic,' to recognize his independence, and to treat with him for Peace. It is believed that' the FIRST CONSUL will not fail to aft upon the invitation thus given ; and that a Negotiation will be opened with GtlEzz A PACI t A, as with a sctre. reign Prince.
