SURVEY OF TIIL
[FROM AX QFFICER O.
I sand you the following par,
table:—
In In the vicinity of Azores, his Mi
last, on her passage from Rio deja
Stuart, the British Minister at the Bra,
in with the water-logged timber-ship,
dealers of which acetic), with the detail of
perienced by tier original crew, until retie's
the Blonde frigate, are already before tie pub.
The Diamond observed title ship close to
and immediately sent a boat on board, whit.
abandoned, and rifled of almost every thing mo
exception of her cargo, which Tema:nee nnumeh,
chain plates had been unbelted, and the figure on hi
off, and carried away. The bow and stern• raft ports ws
the sea made a perfect breach through the vessel, cos
cabin, &el:, and lower beams ; a multitude of fishes,
bonetta, wire in possession, and large shoals of them atteutk
' for the sake of substances adhering to her bottom.
It was the opinion of Lord Napier, who commanded the
mond, that the Frances Mary might be dragged into poet, eigs
at Lisbon, or one of the islands, by the frigate, without notch vie-
, lay, and tar tins purpose she was taken tit tow I but the wind
continuing very light, and the Diamond tasking hut Little wts
with her barthen, he ultimately acquiesced in the wishes of .Jr
Charles Stuai a who urged the abandonment of the chip, on account
of the haste he was in to reach Lisbon.
In consequence, four officers, with a cutter's craw (who were sit
volunteersla rare put on hosed the wreak., having with them one cat
the ship's boats, and two months' provision'. The Diamond Cal
her off at 8. 30. P.M. on the 27th, and parted company the 'area
night ; this was in latitude 37. North, and longitude 2d. 314 West,
ee about 120 miles Eaar of the Island of St. 3fary. trite party
fteml part of the bowsptit, the main and trairatinantast, dtarrdhlg
her the: m sass were gone; the main.toniail) .ctl r4eairted acmes,
with part °Nile sail a:welted to it; the nada ywallittheet:ialseie
*wee.
Nilien the intention of Lard Napier was roach. I:omens:a board
the Diamond, retpecting the putting a party en b..isti Niet vessel,
there was a general desire to share in the enterprise; winiliegas cou-
sidered to have a degree of danger, as well as novelty, attached to
it; and all the youoa, gentlemen, in particular, were emulon4 to be
among the chosen. Alt. Brown, the accord master of the Diamond,
with 3lessrs. Airey, Oldham, and Milford, (midshipmen,) were
detached on this service, and we can congratulate their friends upon
their safe arrival at St. Mary's, in high health and spirits.
Buoyed up by the quantity of timber on board, which consisted
of Mae legs er.d plank, there was no material risk, so lung Ili the
ship should hold together; but as she was nearly unmanageable.
and afforded no accommodation below from the weather, their situ-
ation was nut the most desirable; to obviate, however, this latter
inconvenience, they built themselves a place of shelter on deck wink
plank from the cargo.
But the ship having lost her rudder, the thief ?Mellon was
turned to the formation of a new one, or a machine of some kind,
be which she might be steered ; the party set about :his warrwsth
alacrity and determination, which soon subdued every difficulty',
and by the Ist of July it was prepared, and shipped ; oviihe,lhak-
, ever, to the very little way that could be given to a ship so cireur
staneed, the rudder was not of so much service as had been an. i
patesl; nevertheless, with the help. of the sails, it was need: to ens
ewer, in a tolerable degree ; in steering bythe wind, it was dee:4,lllr
serviceable t its chief defect was in its ttandeasneas as an agent ha pet-
forming any toroftition, for which, ngthcr it, nor any plan . that
could be devised, was found to succeed; and fregoently whest,aftt r
many hears' endeavour th get the vessel upon the opposite wen it
had been aliandored as imieraaicable. she would, of heralf, Coyne
up in the wind, and psy oft, usi:il.sirstf, without any mechanical es.
sistance. - •t,...'._
The quantity of lec-way or dr"'t amounted in getters' to four
points, but this eagle -increased/Nth the wind and agitation of the.
sea; badness of weather, however, was experienced in a very light
degree, to which circumstance, and the fixed &diet Lion of the wind
in the eastern quarter, may be attributed the vessel's nuke! ems
early as it was, seeing that human ingenuity count prevail hut little
with such a log.
The possession of this ship to the company of the Diamond will
be inconsiderable; but a benefit hay been performed to navigatima
by her removal from the high sea, lying so much as she was in tM/
track between Europe, those Mantis, andAmerira. Some unfora
tunate naviaittor would very likely have sataibled on boned bee
during the dartne-s of :Sight, and the concussion would probably
have been no less fatal than if she Led fallen upon the Foinaigna-
, Her position in the usual track of shiparetutning from the south:
ward and westward may be demonstrated by • the number she Sc.
ItitCyr encountered. As before obstattred, she bad been pillaged,
teal deprived of almost every thing portable ; and this, in all pro-
bability, had not been mete!, the work of one or two vessels, bet
of several, which fell in with her during the intervel that transpired
between tile Plonde arid Diamond coming across her. From the,
time the latter frigate left her, until her saris al at Sr. Mary's, they'
spoke or saw the following :—Onelic June, the Illutesoua, just ,
to de Janeito, to Tilette saw one saitat a distattfil
July 12, saw a sail, but did not speak her; July 13, fell in with
and spoke a flaniburgher, bound to Havana,: ; July Id, met with
and had intercourse with tie American ship Ten Plant, from Wt.
vannah, bound to Cadiz, who liberally aupelied them with many
things very serviceable in their situation. (ha the 13th of July, the
Island of St. Mary was in sight; but their progress towards It was
excessively slow, owing to the extreme lightness of the widde.
July 21, the cutter was despatched to St. Alary's to gain informa-
tion ; she returned the 23d, and was again sent to close with the
offer of an island vessel to tote Oven to St. Mary's; she canoe
back in the evening with this at:hew:et, and the following duiy
reached the anchorage of St. Mary's, where she was moored in se-
curity. On the :list ref July, Mr. Aveiry was sent across to St.
Michael's, in order to procure advice, iufonuation, and assistance
from the Consul.
His Majesty's sloop Di:nit:coma, on her passage from Sierra
Leone to Spithead, put into St. Michael's on the :id of August,. hi
order to recruit her water, which service being completed, she pro-
ceeded to St. Mary's, with the Deputy Consul and Mr. Aveiry on
board, with an intention of currying the party to England, pro-
vided it was their wish, and consigning the ship to the tare of the
Consul. Mr. Brown, however, was adverse to a surrender of
his charge, until he had oh:ante:l the most profitable terms which
could be expected at St. Michael's ; the party seemed also to con-
sider it a point of honour to see this object effected. In consequence
of these wishes, the Bereacouta left the island, and made the best
of lice way homeward.
On the Bth of August, St. Michael and St. Mary still in 'sight,
we discovered a schooner-rigged vessel, whose motion, appeased
to be exuaordinarily indecisive; we edged towards, sad dosed
her in the afternoon, and found she was the Flora, of London.
bound to Gibraltar and Malaga, Alexander Christie, Commander,
'who being questioned as to his business among these Islands, at.
signed as a reason, his !laving to lard s passenger at St. Mary's:
but the Commanders' and pessengere account of their ptoterdingi
and intentions appeared so equivocal and contradictory, that it gave
reason to surmise something more was intended than it was thought
prudent to reveal. This passenger, to land whom the vessel had
been conducted at least seven hundred miles out of her proper
track, was in figure, coattme, and general appearance. the sugars
counterpart of one of those gentry who way be seen daily in the
vicinity of the Exchange, vending oranges, &c. dirty, ragged, yid
rascally.

Mr. Fowler, a jeweller and lapidary, of Exeter, has
discovered a substitute for diamond powder, the use of
which has hstherto made seal engraving so expesitive.
On Wednesday, a female in the service of Mr. Norton,
butcher, of Maidstone, went up to a room on the third
floor of her master's house, to make a bed. On entering
the room she heard a hissing, and, to her great terror and
surprise, saw a viper coiled up, and basking in the sun.
We need not add that the alarming visitor was speedily de.
stroved. It measured IS inches in length. How it came
there is unknown, and the only mode that can be imagtned
with any reason is, that the reptile had, unperceived, got
into the pocket of Mr. Norton's man, who bad been car-
rying straw, and slept in the room where the viper was
found.
Four persons, of the names of Murray, Waite, Zyeder,
and Conolly, in the em ploy of Messrs. Broadwood, piano-
forte-manufacturers, agreed on Tuesday morning to take a
boat for the purpose of going to Richmond ; but the tide
not serving conveniently, they proceeded to spend the day
at a friend's house at Deptford. On returning home about
nine o'clock, and attempting to pass through the centre
arch of London Bridge, they were upset, when two of them,
Murray and Waite, met with a watery grave. The former
had been recently married; the latter has left a wife and
three children to deplore his untimely fate. Zyeder, being
a good swimmer, saved the life of Conolly, by allowing
him to cling round his loins, for a considerable distance,
until they were picked up by two watermen, near the
Southwark Bridge? in a nearly exhausted state, though
without experiencing any material injury. The two that
are drowned never rose after the host was upset. Their'.
bodies have not yet been found. This is another instama,
of the rashness (after the numberless accidents that has,
°centred) of inexperienced persons wantonly risking their
lives.
