COAT.HAM, Nov. i7.-:---Y,,stet day was launched
the My-spite, a very time Ship, of. 74 gutis:„ The,
rapidity with which this Ship has been built, is, in a
great measure, to be attributed to the improved-,sys-
tem lately introduced.; for the diMpolty and 'delay
that has for some years attended the construttion of
Ships of a large class.has been principally occa-
sioned by the watt of knee and crooked thither;
which is now obviated by a plan that must be con-
-I,idered highly important during the present scarcity
of oak timber of a crooked and compass form. The
Manner in which this Ship is braced, by placing the
lower riders on a principle pertealy new, will doubt-
less render her one of the strongest Ships in the
British Navy.

I( Be pleased to infortnOte Lords Commissioners

06iik edwoe. Ships .to put bad: again yesterday
evening; as, notwithstanding their examples aild
repeated sign*, and the I.yhole day before them,
there were not above ten Yerchants' Ships which
got tinder weigh. It is exceeding3i, to be wished
that some rue:p.urea could be adopted to punish their
negligence and disobedience, by which the Rieman,
'tile community frequently sutler very materially,
and the King's service is injured by delay." •

-
following Notice was yesterday issued frOm'
the Admiralty : 4` Such mail as were lately employ-
ed in bringing home the Llanish Sitil s from Copen-
.bagen, and came hither in Colliers, or other Vessels
.from the North, and entered in London, fbr the
above-mentioned service, will, upon application to
Capt. Ric:lllMA, . the Regulating •Officer in town,
'be conveyed to the Ports from whence they came,
provided they are desirobs of returning to their re-
spe6live homes.”.
. The Lords of the Admiralty have appointed Dr.
...T; W. CrarroN Judge of the Vice-Admiralty
Court at.the Island of Barbadoes, in the room of
JOHN Biumuto, .Esq. deceased.
The late.dreadful gales drove the Danish 74-gun
Ship Fuen from the North Foreland to Yarmouth
Roads. She tailed on the Carton Sands, wall
,obliged to cut-away all• bet masts, and .would indis-
putably have been lost, had not, Admiral Douoths
(the port-Admiral at Yarmouth) sent off a lighter,
. with anchors and cables, previous to her, driving,'
he having perceived her to be in a dangerous situa-
tion; The Seyeren, -anothqr.Z4oish 74, was also,
saved by some anticipation..f.Tbe former had above
eight hundred people on board, and is laden with
.brass ordnance and. knees;. the latter laden with
copper, cordage, &c. We are intouned that the
Lords .Commissicmers of the Admiralty have so
much approved of Admiral .06UGLASeS proceedmg,
that they have ordered a Vessel, agreeably tco his
own plan, to he stationed there, for the pur-
pose 'of taking off -anchors and cables to Vessels
in distress, and to be at .the disposal. of the Ad-
mind, on whose.indefatigable attention and huma-
nity every reliance may be placed. His Majesty's
Ships, as well as Merchant..vessels, will derive much
.benefit„ from this measure, and particularly Ships
trading to the Baltic.

A Committee of Merchants: trading to America,
