LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

The following letter has been received at Lloyd's this
morning from their agent at St. Ives, Cornwall, dated May
1, but there is too much reason to believe that the state-
ment of the person referred to is a gross fabrication :
" Gaston Tongue, the second mate of the brig Ville de
Marseille, has landed here, and reports his having escaped
by swimming from a Russian frigate, which had taken his
vessel about 20 leagues from Cardiff, having first hoisted
English and afterwards French colours. The master and
part of the crew tried to escape in the boat, and were fired
into, when the master and three men were killed. He
reports the frigate to have gone into the other channel. I
have forwarded him to the French Consul at Penzance.
(Signed) " LLOYD'S AGENT."
