The ship Benson, Capt. Oates, which failed from Port-Royal
for the Northfide last Monday morning, having sprung her
bowsprit, was obliged to put back, and arrived yesterday.—
Capt. Oates spoke the Southampton, and was informed by
Capt Affleck, that he had seen a ship ashore on Portland Point,
which is supposed to be the Golden Rule, Nicholson, one of
the miffing ships abovementioned.
August 18. On Saturday last returned to Port-Royal from a
cruize, his Majesty's frigate Fox, the Hon. Thomas Windsor,
commander, having spoke the preceding Tuesday, the Comet
packet boat fiom hence, 15 leagues to the northward of Cape
Maize, all well.
Also arrived a brigantine flag of truce, from New-Orleans,
in 48 days.
Tuesday returned from a cruize, the Resource frigate, B. S.
Rowley, Esq; commander, who, to the northward of Cape
Maize, saw 22 fail of French line of battle ships, and from the
course they were then pursuing, are judged to be destined for
the Havana, through the Old Bahama Streights. The home
ward bound fleet from Hispaniola and St. Domingo, is said to
have failed.
Arrived his Majesty's armed ship Ranger, carrying 24 twen
ty-four pounders on one deck, from escorting the northfide
vessels into their refpcdlive ports; also, a fchoouer from Santa
Croix.
Wednesday lift arrived from a cruize, the Pomona frigate
and brought in a ship and 2 brigantines, part of 9 fail, laden
with sugar, &c. bound from Cape Nichola Mole to Boston
in New-Fngland; and inform, of a small fleet having failed at
the fame time for Old France.—There were near 200 fail of
vessels in the harbour of Port-au-Prince.
An account of the number of ships and other vessels that fuffered
in the late gale of <wind in the harbour of Kingflon, and from
Fort Augujia to Green-Bay.
Harbour of Kingston.
Drove on shore—„ fl,ips, 6 snows, 12 brigs, 8 schooners,
9 Hoops :—of those are got off, 6 Ships, 4 snows, < brigs, <
schooners, and 4 sloops.
Sunk—2 brigs, 2 (loops, 2 schooners: Of boats, wherriee,
and other small craft, they reckon that about 120 are loft.
Between Fort-Augusta and Green-Bay.
Drove on lhorc-=29 topsail veflels, and a great number of
small craft. By the very extraordinary and indefatigable ex
ertions at Port-Henderson, in unloading the distressed ships,
19 fail have got off; fix of which, driven down the Port-Hen
derson channel, received but little damage ; many of the o
thers have fuffered greatly, and must be hove down.—Ten fail
were at firft thought to be totally loft, and that a very small
part of their cargoes would be saved, viz. the ships Clarendon,
Fame, Orange-Bay, and brigantine Montgomery; they were
driven on the rocks near the Twelve Apoflles.—The ships
Carnatic, Kingston, George and John, and two brigs, sugar
loaded, and the ship ———, loaded with wine, drove on the
St. Andrew's shoal and coral rocks towards Fort-Augufta#—
The Orange-Bay, contrary to expectation, was on the 15th
got off, by the care and activity of John Henderson, Esq; and
mod of the cargo will be saved; only one life was loft in that
neighbourhood, viz. Mr. Allan, mate of the Orange-Bay.—A
number of other vessels, which did not yield to the force of
the tempest, have been difmafted.
,A^ %$• Sunday arrived at Port-Royal, from a cruize,
his Majesty's ship Licorne, the Honourable Thomas Cadogan,
Esquire, Commander, and a French brig her prize.
Captain Cadogan reconnoitred the enemy at the Cape, but
could difeern only two line of battle ships, some frigates and a
great number of merchantmen.
KINGSTON, (jamaica) Auguß 4.
LAST Saturday his Majesty's packet boat Comet failed
froth Port-Roykl, with the mails far Great-Britain.
Tuesday the ships Constantine, Capt. Wright, for Bristol;
and Nancy, Capt. Paifl„ for Liverpool, failed from Port-
Royal, in order to run it in company.
On Wednesday forenoon a severe storm of wind, accompa
nied with heavy and inceflaht rains, came on here, and con
tinued all that night, and a great part of the following day;
the wind during that time veering from North-Ball to South-
Eaft.—lt blew with such violence during the night that num
bers of the shipping and small craft in this harbour and that of
Port Royll Were driven ashore, and some of them irrecovera
bly loft.— From the hulks at the East end of this town to Pas
sage Fort, not less than ninety vessels of different sizes are on
ihore, many of which have sustained very conliderable da
mage ; but we have not been able to colled their names, much
jess to afeertain the hurt received by each.——Of the fleet at
Port-Royal, about thirty are on shore from Passage Fort to the
Twelve Apoftlcs: amongst them are the Green Tfland, Watt ;
Carnatic, Gibbon; Mary, Frizwell; John, Watson; Thetis,
Hardy ; Jamaica, late Grimiby; Mentor, Whitefides ; Ktng
fton, Hurst ; Orange Bay, Ross; London, Peck; Henry, Lo
gan; Montague, Casey; Arundel, Mann ; George and John,
Dears; Chambers, Langley; Hope, Simes ; Dispatch, Tow
ers; Friendship, Ronaldfon; Nanny, Brown; Fame, Eaton;
True Britoh, Stuart; Clarendon, Jordan; Lark, Backhoufe;
and Ransom, Bagnold; some of them, it is feared, will never
be got off, and others not without much trouble and damage.
We have not learnt what number of lives have been loft, but
in to general a devastation it muff be conliderable ; upwards of
twenty dead bodies have been found; and buried on the Palifa
does, fuppofcd to have periled in a flAg of truce which failed
from Port-Royal on Wednesday morning, in company with
two others, of whose fate we have also reason to be ap
prehensive.
His Majesty's ship Southampton returned on Thursday mor
ning in the storm from a cruize, with the loss of some of her
marts and ipars, and other damage, receivedin an engagement
on St. Domingo.—She was cruizing in campany with his Ma
jesty's ship Pomona, when they fell in with and attacked a
French ship of the line and a frigate; but after engaging for
fonie time, the Southampton being very much disabled, from
the enemy's superior force and weight of metal, was obliged to
bear Away fob Port Royal. We cannot find that any accounts
have been received of the fate of the Pomona.
The fame day the schooner Punch, Captain Perkins, from a
cruize. Also his Majesty's (loop of war Vaughan and a brig
from relieving the crew ofhis Majesty's fliip Pelican, stranded
