" Dear Sir,---1 am ust arrived in the Stag fri gate, having been three weeks down the coast eastward-as far as the Great Fish River, in search of the wreck of a ship, which' we can scarcely doubt is that of the William Pitt, Captain BUTLER, ..from Batavia. Prior to our departure, the Mor ley transport arrived here trout Algoa Bay, 'bringL ing,Arit,it her the top of a box, directed to the Pitt, lit Gravesend, dated Sstinday, Feb. 21 - , 1813, to the 'care of Mr. Rusphison,-, Water man as also another, directed, " Mrs. Crawford, and John Crawford, Esq." Mr.'and Mrs. Craw ford, and two children, are known to have been p;tssengers in the William Pitt. There also drift ed ashore near Algoa - Bay' a chest, probably that of the Ciaptain's Steward - , having in the front and on the centre ; plank- the words NiTilliafn Pitt ; also some of the;.,pooptleck Plank's, with cot-,. screws in them, apparently‘ 'tinned la ,to the. beams with. great violence. •All her .nulk heads and Venetian. blinds, 'the furniture- ,f the cabin under ithe•.poop,'-small, bedsteads,. the remnant of a small boat, together . vrith dead sheep and pies, hate also drifted - on shore nen. Algoa Bar- Asa p ship was seen-assing Algoa Bay to tile ‘Vestward on the 17th of last 'month, and in the night of the ISth live guns were heard in the Bay of St. Francis, a .gale blowing front the WcA, ward, and the night-very dark and raining, it is • thought she must have been in ihe'Bay,andsuf fered this datmige by shipping heavy seas, by . which ,the- art ide s above-mentioned were' washed overboard. No traces, •lutiverer', appear of a wreck, as no ropes, mast, Sails, nor casks, have been seen. I have, however, but littledoubt-in ' my own mind that the ship is lust, and I fear all on board must have perished. If she were at chor nein- the Bay when s h e su lfered•so much !la; usage, she probably sunk at her moorings ; or if by ail •ebance she got out to sea , s h e h as proba bly foundered i.whi , :b last supposition 1 think the more natural, from no :human bodies having floated on shore along with the sheep and pigs. • " About three days - ago, lOU letters arrived from Algoa Bay, part of the mail of the Pitt, all directed for London, in a shattered"Stte, and some without covers ; also invoices of part of, her cargo, open without cover, having all been washed about among the s.and on the beach duplicates were sent by the Lord Eldon." • It is affirmed that DAvotisT's contumacy bad so highly displeased the.
