The Gottenbuigh Mail brings letters from Pe-
tersburg() to the 15th ult. The Exchange was.at
that time from l l I to The storm at Arch-
angel was very violent and extensive in the mis-
chiefs it occasioned, but principally to the praarns
which were proceeding from the port with lading
for the ships off the bar. Fortunately a consi-
derable fleet,had sailed some time before the Intr.-
ricane.

The Princess Charlotte packet arrived at Fat-
month, with mails, sailed from Rio Janeiro on
the 4th, and from Bahia on the 13th Sept. It
appears that eleven ships had arrived out, without
any capture being made. The Lady Hobart is
arrived at the same port, from Surinam,,Berbice)
and Demerara.

war are tar from orderly and quiet ; they are
continually laying plans of escape, not occupying
themselves as their predecessors, the French, did,
in different works and amusements, to wile away
their time ; and it has been found necessary to
have.an efficient Military force there.
WINDSOR, Nov. 7. —Yesterday the weather
proving. remarkably fine, the QUEEN, Princesses
ELMABETH, AUGUSTA, and MARY, after attend-
ing Divine Service, took an airing in a coach and
four through' Maidenhead, &c.—Princess SOPHIA
took an airing in the Little Park. The Duke of
YORK arrived in the afternoon, and after dining
with the QUEEN, left in the evening for London.
This morning the Marchioness of BATH left the
Castle for London.—The QUEEN, Princesses ELI-
ZABETH and MARY, went to Frogmore to spend
the day. _ _

THE TEIEATRE.—Often as we have noticed the
exertions of Miss O'Ntsu., she is so excellent a
performer, and comes so fortunately to supply
the chasm left hy.the retirement of the
,greatest
Actress that ever trod theatrical boards, that
we return with pleasure to the task. Her per-
formance of Juliet, last night, displayed the
same truth, tenderness, and simplicity, as be-
fore, and received the. fullest , tribute of ap-
plause. CONWAY we thought somewhat retro-
grade in his exhibition of Romeo. He: did not
display a due portion of tenderness, and he has
a bend in his deportment which gives 'an awk-
wardness to his form. JONES Was very ani-
mated and playful'in Illercutio.—The Romance of
Blue-beard followed the Tragedy. It is revived
with great splendor ; and the re-introdnetion of
the Horses kept a numerous audience till the
dropping of the curtain.
This morning a number 'of Female 'Convicis
were removed from Newgate_inco a:vessel, laying
near Blackfriars-bridge, in order to be carried
on board. a transport, which is to convey them to
Botany Bay. Several of the unfortunate females,'
who are thus doomed to leave their native coun-
try for certain :periods, were permitted to take with
them their young families, whose appearances
were such as to cause a considerable degree of •
sympathy from the numerous spectators.
Sir WILLIAM SKEFFINGTON lies dangerously ill
at his house in Charles-street, Grosvenor-square.
He is attended by Sir ligNia lIALtORD and Mr.
HEAusip.

LOSS OF THE BARING TRANSPORT.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM BEARHAVENT2.OCT..IS,

In consequence of a severe gale coming on; on
the 10th inst. the fleet under convoy a the Sul-
tan, 74, was directed to put into Bear-Baven :
the Baring transport, .a fine ship, upwards-of 700
tons, havinl.7, on board 18 Officers and more than
300 men of‘ the 40th regiment, under the com-
mand of Major Shelton, lay-to for a nilrt .off the
month- of the Haven, but so near to the rocks, that
she drove upon, them on the left side of the cn-
trance, and after striking severakimes, lost her
rudder : she then became unmanageable, drifted
across the Haven, and struck on the Bear Island,
carrying away her bowsprit..

Through the exertions of the.Qfficers, the men
,were kept below, until the water was ancle-deep
on 'the deck every endeavour was then used to
get them on Metre, as th'e ship was found to be
:sinking _fast' in, the eynfasion many of them
jumped overboard, there Being no boats near, and
several were unfortunately_drowned ; 18 or 20 are
at this time missing, but I hope some of them
may yet be found upon the island. From the
vessel filling so• fast, and the exertions of eery
Officer being required in saving the men, it was ;
possible for them to recover any part of th..ir nag-
,gage; they have lost. almost every thing, and.
_many of the men are in a state ofnaliedness.
1 was on the beach from the,commeneement of
this unfortunate business, without being able to
render much assistance ; and, in justice to the
Officers on board, I. must say, that to their exer-
tions alone it was owing that so few of the men
on board were lost by jumping overboard. Wilh
the assistance of the boats belonging to the Sul-
tan, Shamrock, and other vessels in the fleet,
Major Shelton, with the aid of the Officers on
board, succeeded in getting the remainder of the
men on shore by dark. The Baring is now co-
vered with water, and 1 fear nothing on board
can be recovered. It was providential that she
did not remain where she truck in the first in-
stance ; had she done so, I fear every soul would
have perished, there being a heavy surf, and no
possibility of the men getting upon the rocks
had they jumped overboard ; added to which,
not a boat could get to her, in consequence
of the wind and tide setting into the Haven
at the time.

The six cotton ships, valued at about 140,0001.
seized by Mr. RictimoNn, a Custom-house Of-
ficer, at Liverpool, have been delivered up by an
order of the Privy Council to the Proprietors,
without bail being required, and without any sa-
tisfaction to the seizing Officer. In regard to one
ship before seized, under the like circumstances,
it was ordered that a moderate satisfaction should
be given to the Officer, and the parties were in
the first instance held to bail, on the ground that
the neutrality was not perfect, one bay belonging
to the crew being a native of England. - It is still
open to the Officer to support his claim in the
Admiralty Court 5 and' we understand that he has
been advised so to do on two groiiii4S—the
the infraction of -the blockade ; the other, the il-
legality of the voyage, the progress from Amelia
Island being the continuation of the voyage from
the United States. TO obtain the restoration of
the six vessels and their, cargoes, three Gentlemen
.were deputed from Liverpool to apply to Mr.
VANSITTART. The Chancellor of the Exchequer
immediately convened a Council, and the delay of
one or two days was occasioned, in order to have
an entry on the minutes of the proceedings (which
was at first from some accident omitted), that no
satisfaction shoUld be assigned to the seizing Of-
ficer. The Attorney and Solicitor General, with
the other legal Advisers of the Government, and
all the Commissioners of the Customs, were con-
sulted before.the determination was had in favour
