e pan from the neighbouring villages assembled
upon shore for the purpose of plundering the ma-
nirials, in which they were but too successful, not-
withstanding every exertion made to prevent it by
iihi ruehasers of the wrecks. The latter gave per.

all the coals they could collen, which had been
*abed on shore, on condition that they would not
:move any part of the timber or other materials;
&h et of generosity, however, totally failed of its
lopposs. as they were equally assiduous in pilfering
whatever they could lay their hands on.

The Chancellor of State Olenin has finished a work

is now printing in the Russian and French lan-
