On the Ist of July 1813, made Point de Galle in the Island-of Ceylon, and at sr.m. on that day, being abreast Dondra Head, shaped a course (E. by N.) for the night, the India ships under mentioned in company. During the night Captain AlAxwrm, had fre quent recourse to the log-board, as well as the., Chart and Instructions by which the shin was na vigated, and Mr. WcnsTlia, the Master, did not quit -the deck until half -past five on the morning of the 2d, when it appearing by the course and distance run during the night, that the fleet were well to the eastward of the Basses, he suggested to the Captain to haul up to N.N. E. which was accordingly done. At seven, a haze, which .had prevailed during the morning cleared up, when the land was dis covered bearing north, distant ten tit eleven miles —altered the course two points to starboard. The breeze had varied little since the evening before; we were now going five knots with smooth water. At five minutes before eight, a noise was heard resembling that occasioned by letting go an an chor in deep water, every one rushed bn deck, when to their great surprise they found the ship had grounded. No indication of shallow water had been or was then perceptible,' except from the circumstance Of her grounding. The ship continued rubbing the bottom for two or three minutes, there being nearly the same water over the shoal wlfich she drew, viz. 18 feet. When her way was stopped, she was - found to hang by the stern : the quarter boats .were lowered down to sound, and dl the sail taken off the ship to prevent st aining. . From the moment the danger was first discover ed, the necessary signals were made to warn the convoy, who had been steering the same course all the morning in dose order. The afterguns:on the main r deck were got for ward, )v-hich was but the work of a moment ; the next instant every countenance conveyed the de,; lightful tidings of the ship being again afloat, but our joy was of short duration, and at the moment we were exulting isn our delivery from a serious misfortune, we - were commencing -what had nearly proved a fatal one: The first. obstacle that now presented itself, was the tiller not traversing, but this was in sonic degree obviated by our discovering the•true posi tion of the ship, the breakers oh the Little Basses, which the glarz of the - sun prevented our seeing before, appearing now about three miles outside of us ; this, and a commanding breeze, enabled us to steer with the sails. As a proof that the breakers on esie Little Basses could not be seen owing to the cause above 'stated, one of the con voy (the Atlas) in avoiding the dangers that the Daedalus was in, struck on that shoal, but being a very strong ship sustained no injury. • - - The next report was, that the after-cockpit was nearly full of water, with a quantity of 'b rea d floatingon . it ; the cause was immediately tracei to the bread-room, where the water rushed in with so much rapidity as to force the bread in a mass through the Steward's. room into the cockpit. The pumps , were immediately manned, but the water did not increase in the well for several mi nutes, owing to tile bread having choked up the crevices in the after-hold. Parties were =ploy ed to removethe bread ; a signal for the carpen ters of the convoy was instantly obeyed. The bread being removed, the leaks were found to be Of a very serious, nature, part of the stern-post .was broken off, leaving a breach through ,which the water rushed with irrisistible force: The rudder, Which only hung by one gudgeon, was unshipped, as - by its action on the remaining part of the stern-post, it tended to loosen her more abaft, and consequently increase the leak. Thrummed sails were prepared, but without suc-: cess; as was feared from the situation of the leaks. Buckets were employed wherever there was room. to hale. At 12 o'clock the distressing truth of the leak gaining was too evident, the water being at that time up to the &lop deck.

As the boats returned, the Test of the ship's company were sent on board the different Indiamen, being called from the pumps by sions. To use , Captain MAXWELL'S words at ; the Cnutt , Martial, which was held at Madras, on the I th of Angust----" All this was done with- as littfe confusion as• occurs in 'removing men from one ship to another at any of-the ports in Eng• land." At 15 mitintes before 6 the' Officers represented to Captain MAXWELL , that it would be dangerous to remain any longeron board; at this time the lower deck bad given Way at the larboard 'side, and the water poured in through the main deck ports when,the ship had the least motion. 'Hay. ing ascertained that nobody remained below, he, witb.reluctance -quitted a ship to which his,e.on duct had attached every individual that served in her. Scarcely were the boats out of the influence of the surge, when the Ddaltts falling on her larboard side, spewed Captain MAXWELL how much he was indebted.to the friendly solicitude of hi's companions, in misfortune, - She :eniained abmit a minute in that situation, when righting with her quarter-deck - bulwark above water, she sunk with all those fond hopes which Heaven in spires to reconcile men in the service of their country to the privations incident to distant climates: It would be equally futile and unnecessary to make" any- comment on the conduct or feelings of Captain MAXWELL, his Officers, .or ship's com pany on this trying occasion, the sole object of the Narrator being to spew those interested in their character, by an unvarnished recital, that " every man did hisduty." , Note.—The ships in company were the Rose, Bridgewater, Essex, Marquis of Wellington, and Atlas.

Go on, then, courageously, bravewarriors you have already surmounted the greatest danger ; complete your victory over the mad anibition of the French ,Em peror. Give peace to the world, and return then to yoUr country, covered with the blessings of the peo ple you have delivered.

We must convince the inhabitants that it is your zeal for the good cause alone which leads your steps to •wards them. Courage and generosity have ever been the chief requisites of the soldier.

BENGAL INTELLIGENCE. On the side of the Punjab, it appears; no ac commodation had taken place between the rival Chieftaius,Atmjeet Sing and Futteh Khan; nei ther had there been an engagement between their respective forces. The most important event that had occurred was the acquisition, by Runjeef Sing, of a precious stone of extraordinary- tizil and value, late tlie property of the unfortunate Soojab ul Moohl, of which the praises have been long celebrated in the Ukbars. The Seik Chieftaiu paid a visit. o f s t ate to the captive Sultan, acconipanied with circumstances of un usual solemnity ; he reumined some hours, *hen the transfer of the .desired treasure took place: The parties exchanged t ur b ans , and pledged themselves by mutual-oaths of eternal friendship, previous to the smrender of the jewel. Sorijalt was then restored to ostensible liberty. 'The Seik General, Morukhim Chum!, lied re turned with -his army from Caihrntre ; and was, on the Ist of June, at Lahere—the management of the waragainst Futteh Khan was given to him, when he set : out to join theforte in advance, to wards Attack ,upder _Prime Game,. Sing, who, according. to the last advices, -was encamped at Khala. All proffers of ncgoctation by Futteh Khan were refused by Ruin' sing, as the army he had was unequal Co cope with , the united 'Seik forces. I'-he army of his Highness the reshva, destined to act against the Pendarries, - had marcbcd from the Nerbudthih into libt3ndeish. . The latest accouiit's from the camp of Holkar and Amcor Khan, represent matters as perfectly .stationary in both tbos„ - e - tptarters. The former Chieftain was at Atiiie - f , karrah op the 10th of r, .June. FAIR ON THE THAMES. The floating ,masses of . ice with which we have Already stated the Thames to he covered, havi ng been stopped by London Bridge, have Wow assumed the shape of a solid surface over that part of the river which extends from Blackfriars Bridge to some distance below Three Crane Stairs, at the bottom of Queen-s%T Cheapside. The water men, taking advantf this circumstance, yes , terday placed noties a ai end of all the streets leading to the City r stde of . the river, announcing a safe foot-way over Oe'lliver, which, as might be expected, attracted itumense crowds to witness a • scene so novel. Many were induced to venture on the ice, and the example thus afforded soon led thousands to peraMbulate the rugged plain, where a variety of amusements were prepared for their entertainment. Among the more curious of which was the ceremony of roasting a small sheep, which was toasted, or rather burnt, over a charcoal fire, placed in a large iron pan. For a view of this extraordinary spectacle, Sixpence was de manded, and willingly pai. Of booths there were a great number, which were ornamented with Streamers, flags, and signs, and in which there was a plentiful store of those favotiritc luxuries, sin, beer, and gingerbread. Opposite Three Crane Stairs, there was "a complete and well freluehted thoroughfare to Bankside, which was strewed with ashes, and ...apparently afford ed a very safe, • although a .very rough . path. 7—Near to •Blackfriars-bridge, the passage did not seem to be eqnally, safe,. for one young man, a plumber, named Davis.; having imprudently ven tured to cross with.some : lead in his hands, he sunk between two masses. ice, to rise no more. Two young, women nearly ; shared a similar tate; but were happily rescued from their perilous situation by the prompt efforts of two ws_termen. It is a singular fact, that in consequence of the impedi ments at London Bridge to the current of the River, the title has not ebbed for some daYrbaelie; more than one half the usual. mark: Transports are getting ready at Portsmouth with every degree of dispatch, to take foot troops to Spain. The dragoons will sail with the con voy this day. • By the late volunteering from the Militia, the Eoot• Guards - have got• an increase of 1500 niert, and of this number the West Kent furnished tie less than 510 volunteers..'
