By accounts irom Tangier, we learn that two
Danish, a Spanish, and a French ship have been
wrecked.to the southward of that place, during the
late storms.
If you have had as many absurd stories written
home, as have been propagated here, you must
have thought the garrison in great danger: among
other rumours, it was eurrentlpreported and be-
lieved, that the Spaniards had marched 3000 men
down to the lines, and had sent spies to offer a
large sum of money, and a pension for life to every
soldier who would give up the garrison. An Of-
ficer was in consequence sentinto Spain, to examine
if the Spaniards were making any extraordinary
movements, but he found as few Spaniards as
usual ; .and, in their lines, both guards and sen-
tries asleep !
JAN. 10.—We have had series of the worst
weather and the most violent gales of wind for a
month past that has occurred in the memory of
the oldest inhabitant. Yesterday and last night it
again blew ~hurricane. This morning no less than
fourteen yissels,Fere discovered on shore at the
bottom of the bar, several of which will be wrecks ;
only one.pf them is English ; the rest are French,
Dutch, or Spanish..
The behaviour of the garrison, since the late
disturbance, has been most exemplary, and every
thing now goes on with the usual regularity and
sobriety.
The Cynthia sloop of war, destined for England,
still remains wind-bound.
J AN. l's.—Ten men of the 25th Regiment, be-
sides the three who were executed, were condemned
to death, but pardoned by His Royal Highness the
Duke of lista. They were yesterday embarked
on boardthe Cynthia, . which sails the first fair wind
for England.
