CORK, jAtc, 3.
Yesterday His Majesty's ship Argus, Captain Kit.
toe, arrived in out harbour fmrn Portsmouth.
Last night, the SUrgeon of His Majesty's sloop
Argus was unfortunately drowned; as he was going
on board in a shore boat,
Ou Tuesday last, the ship J.hss Ball, of Liver-
pool, was in a vey perilous situation, at Sandy
Cove, near the entrance of Kinsale harbour. As
she was riding with three anchors a-head, and her
stern in the land-wash, her two bower anchors broke.
In this dangerous condition, she was fortunately
supplied with an anchor and cable from Kinsale,
which saved her from destruaion. She yesterday
. arrived at Kinsale, where she lies in safety.

• The Ra de i,imaiman of war will sail frjoA. 4
from Cove
• to join the squadron at Beerhaven, as soon as the
wind will permit. The sqoodron' will then consist
of the PrthePTl of "Orsaae, Rear Admiral Drury,
Capt. !lagers ; Pri'areit Royal, 98, Capt. Reynolds;
Gala* 74, Capt. Brisbane ; Ratoesspdle, 64, Capt.
Baton; and Throviavr, 74, Capt. Bedford. The
injury which the latter ship has received, by being
on shore, will render ft necessary for her to go to
, England to be docked.
1' By the very great exertions of Capt. Bedford, his
officers and crew, aided by the experience and
abilities of Mr. Urquhart, Surveying Master (whom
Lord Gardner sent round immediately on heating
of her being ashore), she Was got off. Her 'Mtg-
. lion was extremely perilous, having ledges of reeks
within six feet of her bow and stern, and the wind
blowing a hearty gale nearly the whole time she was
en shoe.
