The public now look, with anxiety, to the
new order of things which BONAPAKTE means
to ea Nish upon the Continent ; for that
his recent vi&ories have enabled him to parcel
out a great portion of it, as he phases, un-
fortunately admits no doubt. Bavaria, he will
ere& into a kingdom, and enlarge it by the
annexation of the Austrian possessions in Suabia.
But the revolutions in the heart of Europe are not
those which we will feel most. The changes upon
her coast are those that threaten us with the great-
est danger. Venice and Naples will be melted
down into his kingdom of Italy, and a high road
opened into Turkey. The facilities which he
will thus acquire for the prosecution of his views
against Egypt, and our possessions in India, cannot
be contemplated but with the greatest anxiety.

A letter from Cork, dated December 27th, says,
" We are eoocerned to state the dispersion of the
fleet, which sailed from this port for England, on
Sunday, the Bth inst. under convoy of the R acaan
sloop of war, Capt. Caorrost. The night of their de.
parture it blew hard, and the Lomita tender, Lieute-
nant Nor, carried ■way her main-yard in three
places. On the 9th, it settled into a heavy gale at
S. W. by W. and the ships were scattered. The
Louisa at night lost sight of the Commodore, and at
one, sa in. she was close u:tder the land, from which
ske made several unsuccessful attempts to extricate
herself. At day-light, Lieut. Hoy discovered tbat
he was embayed with five sail of the convoy in
sight; and upon a reference to a draft of the coast,
found himself but a small distance from Padirow, on
a bad coast, with an ebb tide, his vessel. unable ti car:
ry any sail, and a dark and stormy night appreachiug.
In this extremity, the guns were thrown over board ;
the water started, and every expedient resorted to
which a skilful and intrepid Officer could adopt to
save the vessel, or at least the lives of the crew.
The knowledge and seamanship of Lizutenant Hov
were not unsuccessfully exerted—for observing the
people from the shore making signals which inti-
mated the proximity of a secure anchoring place, he
pursued, by the most persevering and indefatigable
efforts, the direr ton pointed out to him, and at
length observed a n arrow opening, his only resource
for shelter, with a tremendous surf breaking through
it. For this he direeted his course, and succeeded
in getting into a secure good anchorage. In his
passage the most trifling deviation, or the least in-
capacity in the vessel to obey the helm, would have
heiin inevitable destruaion. The Racoon was stated

to have been put into Mount's Kay with the loss of
her foremast, and her guns, which she was obliged
to throw overbi,ard. From the severity of the gale,
much apprehension mast exist for the security of
the other vessels, none of whom, when we received

nur in-ellig:•nce, had b...m h••ard of. This evening
