exTRAcT or A LETTER FROM LARNE, IRELAND,

MARCH I+.

Early on Friday morning the 2Oth instant, the
ship Liberty, of Wilmington, W. Mt MIR master,
from New Orleans, with a very valuable • cargo of
tobacco, cotton wool, and dogwood, for Liverpool,
tame to anchor at the mouth of-this harbour, in a
very dangerous situation, near the rocks at Brown's
say; it blew a very heavy gale from W.S.W. all
that forenoon, in the evening it abated a little over
the ebb, and a boat went off and left two officers on,
board, both good seamen and pilots ;.all that night
it continued blowing, and on, the, morning of the
Ist it increased to a hurricane, and continued all
the forenoon ; at two P. M. the Master, finding his
ship drifting towards the rocks, was compelled by
necessity to cut away the mizen.mast, for the pre.
nervation of the ship and cargo ; at that instant the
people from the shore felt the most lively compassion
to see so many lives and.so much prOperty in danger,
tvhen four skilful shipmasters, James Glasgow,
Wm, Jeffeties, Jos. Urell, skipper of the King's
barge, and Morres M'Keag, and another, put off
in the King's boat, at the imminent peril of their
lives,' and by God's mercy got on board, which had
they missed they must have gone to sea. Such a
reinforcement 'animated the crew, and changed the
Master's determination of cutting away the other
masts, and though the squalls increased after the
boat got on hoard, they stuck to it, and alter cut.
ting away one anchor and weighing the other, she
was got safe into Port at seven P. M. on the nd,
and by the assistance of a borrowed anchor, she is
now moored in safety." ,

The following letter from an Oitcer on board
His Majesty's Sloop of War, the Sq.vallo.w, of IS
guns, contains a remarkable instance of vile and
treacherous conduit on the part of an Enemy's ship :

" On lonr.l His Maje.,y's Skip Swallow,
Port Royal, Yarn.ticai Feb. 7.
Ci We fell in lately with a Spanish Privateer,
commanded by French Officers, of io carriage guns
and 103 men, who had the temerity to engage tni
for half an hour within pistol shot, and in that
time damaged our 'sails an& rigging considerably.
She no sooner struck her Colours, than she attempt-
ed to board us on the quarter ; but for this conduft
her people met their deserts, eighteen of them being
including the Captain, his Lieutenant, and
another Officer. There were several' wounded
severely, three of whom soon after died on board
the Set.4./a/iola. We had four men wounded, two
very badly, but they are beginning to recover."
By the Nile Cutter, Captain ARGLES, which ar-
rived at Plymouth on Sunday night, we learn that
Sir EDWARD PELLEW, with-Four Sail of the Line
and Four Frigates, was left, on the Ist inst. off
Roche.!;) blocking up two French Men of War,
d'74.gunl, and one Frigate, which had sailed from
L'Orient in order to join CyTh.vvrit E Ault Squadron;
but the batteries so strongly covered them, that no
attempt Can he made to cut them out. The Nile
passed through the Channel Fleet, off lirest, all well,
on the 2d; And on the 3d spoke AP American from
RoChefort, the Captain of which states, that ac-
counts had been received thue thatGANTHEAVNIE's
Squadron was put into Toulon to refit.
