the Ministet of Foreign Affairs, anneird to His
Majesty's Message; and a Projell relaive to the
Military Conscription for 1947, which I am going
to read.
'` Your Committee have unantrisonsly agreed, that
the Senate ought to hasten the adoption of the pro-
jetil of the Sen this Confultigne, which has been pro-
posed to you, a-d of which the motives, so well de-
veloped by the Orators of Government, are explain-
' eel in so admirable a manner in the Message of His
Inlperial and Royal Majesty.
" Your Committee thinks that they cannot bettt r
second the sentiments which this memorable Mes-
sage has excited, than by proposing to you to offer
to His Imperial Majesty, in an Address which the
Committee has ordered me to submit to you, the
homage of your profound devotion, your lively and
respeftful gratitude.
" I have therefore the honour to. propose to the
Senate, in the name of your Special Committee, to
adopt,
" First, the psojeet of the Senatsu Consul:um relative to the
Military Conscription.
" Seenildly, , the project of the decree, and also the address
that I shaft hiss the honour to present to coo."
The report was accordingly adopted, and the
two documents will be published, when His Ma-
jesty, to whom they have bees transmitted, shall
hare given orders for that purpose.

The hurricane from the S.W. on Friday night.
caused a most tremendous swell in Cawsand Bay
and the Sonnd ; signals of distress were firing all
night from the shipping, particularly in Cawsan
Bay; the Mum-tour parted one cable, arid the Ter-
rible two; the latter was brought up by her best
bower, etherwise she must have gone to pieces on
the rocks. The two anchors which she had lost
were endeavoured to he replaced, yesterday, by the
Smith's launch from the Dock-yard, towed by two
men of war's boats ; but the sea still running high,
corm filled as she got into t"e limy ; and •had it hit
been for the ailivity alone of the riggers, in cutting
the tow-rope, the respeetive crews, amounting to
more than 90 men, must have gone to the bottom.

II•MSGATE, DEC. 16.
The Swedish ship mentioned in my Fast as being
on shove near White Dyke, a thou distance trim
Ramsgate, has glace sunk, and her cargo, consisting
of iron and deals, is now taking out.
The Danish brig also mentioned in my last, that
got nn shore on the sand near the Bathing-room,
WAS got off on Sunday, but the wind being en-
favoerable she could not be got into the harbour, and
being totally unmanageable, having lost her anchors,
sables, bowsprit, rudder, Ste ;in that state, she was
driven out to sea, and much anxiety was expressed
on shore for the fate of her crew. After some time
beating about, a Broadstairs boat took out her
'crew ; and afterwaids, the wind abating, the brig
was carried into Margate, by some boats from
'hence. The other vessel on shore here, the brig
/called the Pinney, of Southampton, was got off
tpesterday, and sow lies in the harbour ; she has
lost her rudder, anchor, Ste.
There are now about 4.11 sail of vessels, of dif-
ferent descriptions, in Ramsgate harbour.
RULL. DSC 15.
In consectoet.ce of extreme rainy weather for three
weeks pass, the merchants of Leeds, Wakefield,
&c., have been unable to finish their goods for the
ports of Lisbon and Oporto ; the convoy, which
was to have sailed on Thursday. is, therefore, by a
petition of the masters and ship-owners. deferred
until the 23ti instant.
Xhe Minty. Armer, from Sunderland. coal-
loaded. for Margate, &raved here on Monday,
with the Lard Kettlo, of Kincardine, in tow, which
vessel she fell in with at sea, off the Dudgeon,
without any living person on board, supposed to
have been run down by some vessel at sea, as her
starboard bow is entirely stove in, forecastle deck
and hatchway torn tap, mast and bowsprit carricd•
away, end anchor driven abaft the windlass,
and she was full of w.ter. In the cabin were
found the Captain's watch, best clothes, quadrant,
Sic. a soldier's cap, Ste. ; from these circumstances,
it is feared, there have been some pastangers on
board. A number of empty liquor puncheons on
board. prevented her sinking. Great apprehensions
are entertained for the safety of the Captain, crew,
and passengers, and also the vessel that run on
board her, as the stroke must have been very heavy.
CORK. nee. 12.
Le rirgiriie frigate, Captain Brace, which ar-
rived ir. our harbour on Friday last. after an eight
weeks cruise, did not, daring that period, fall in
with any vessels of the enemy. She, however, had
the good fortune to be of material service to se-
veral merchant shifts, which hal suffered severely in
the late heavy gales; and which Capt. Brace, with
his usual attention to the trade, not only relieved.
but protcSed beYond the reach of danger. In this
cruise, the 1/1,7.1••• sprang her bowsprit. She is
ordered to Plymouth to refit. and to take the trade
fur the Channel under convoy. Copt. Brace, out
of the last twelve aloaths, has beam only one month
in harbour. •
