PM 6.
Yesterday, a brig with Government stores. from
the Red-house, Deptford, coming into harbour,
was, it is supposed. either by ignorance or mis-
man igement, run against the West p.er-head, and
stove in her bows ; and she now lies sunk in the
outer-harbour ; the pilot, we believe, was a Deal
man
The wind blew quite a gale last night, and early
this morning, to the westward, which being a
land wind, the 'vessels in the Downs" rode very
well ; but coming round southerly, made a great
sea and swell, and very hard riding; several
vessels, afer parting from their anchors, made fi r
Ramsgate Harbour; among which was a large
ship (a Swede), which, in coming in, ran against
a brig in the hatb'our, did her some damage, and
afterwards kept on, until she ran her bows against
the cross wall of the rimer harbour. POMP roe 'lark
—The wind is now moderated, and got to the
.west again.
There are a number of transports arrived in the
Downs from Yarmouth. twelve or fourteen sail,
with troops, horse and foot ; a part of these are of
the German Legion. Th.ey are expelled to be dis-
embarked at Ramsgate. A part of the 62d Re-
gim.'nt disembarked here yesterday. and marched
for Deal barracks. The 87th Regiment marched
from this plate the day before, on their rout to
Bexhill barracks.
