Mrs. Canning. It was the intention of the Admiral to proceed to
the Guinn of Patras, but the wind blowing strong for two days he
returned, and paa,ed the Wand to the southward. The by bille
and Medina accompanied the Revenge. They will anchor at Te-
nedos, et which island the Msalina will leave her guns and proceed
on with Mr. Canning to Constantinople, if the Ottoman Govern-
ment wiil admit her within the Danianelles. The Rose and Chan..
ticleer are cruising within the Gulph of Patras. Most of the other

LINGTON--Extract of a letter received in town this morning
front the Captain of the Marquis of Wellington, dated Castlemain
Bay, county Kerry, Feb. 15, 1826 :—" I am sorry to inform you
of the loss of the Marquis of Wellington, all hands but two men
saved, on the evening of the 13th. On that morning I made the
land, with a gale from the S.W. 1 carried away every yard of
' canvass before I let go both anchors. She was only about half-an-
hour at anchor when she began to till with water, and about 5 P.R.
went to pieces on the face of tremendous rocks. The first man that
attempted the shore was dashed to pieces on them ; the rest of us re-
mained. The ship parted from her upper works the second or third
stroke, and we remained on the quarter-deck. Fortunately the
mast fell up against the chilli, and by that means we got on shore.
I remained on the rock until I got all the crew before me ; the
cook, an old man, was the last, and then attempted the cliff's my-
self. 1 was turning round to have one other tool at the wreck of
the Marquis, when I fell down among the rocks and got very much
bruised and cut, but fortunately the next surf swept me to the mast
again, and I regained the rocks ; and now I sin sitting by a fire-
side, with nothing to cover me but a pair of flannel drawers, a
striped shirt, and a handkerchief on my head. I could not get a
pen, nor paper to write upon, till to-day. I have found out the
residence of a Magistrate, and Doted a protest before him. The
Collector and ,Lloyd's agent have arrived from Tralee, and I am
going to get a survey on the wreck. There is nothing to be seep
but some pieces of the timbers. The crew ate all scattered throt
the country hews, or s, without shoes or jackets, heti on their heady

end very much exhausted. They had been eleven days and nigh
scarcely below, the gales were SO inces.ant. If we had arrivrd'i's
