COLDINGHAM, NOY. 18, 180.9,--(.` This day a
Very cilusidelabte quantity of fcireign fir wood, both
10 and deals, has been floated in alottg the whold
of this coast; according to the best iotormation I
can have from Lumsdain shore on the west, to Ross
on the east ; and, as, part of the stern of a vessel hos
also beeti, flOatud in to the westward of Coldilic
ham shore, :and some pieces of novas of large ai-
Mensions, there is not the least doubt that wine
vessel, homeward-bOund hom the Baltic, of heavy
tonnage, has been unfortunately wrecked on this
coast; during the 'severe storm which took plaf:e
early this morning, and ia all probability all on board
have perished
P. S.--,No name has been observed on the part of
the stern that has been drove in,, so as to know what
port she belonged to." , .
DUNDEE, NOV. 17.—The ship Jean, (which we
stated in a former paper to have struck on the El..

no longer visible from the shore. It is said, that, ill
the gate of Wednesday night, her sides were, by
the violence of the waves, turn asunder, and wash_
ed ashore in St. Andrew's bay; while the bottom,.
weighed down by a cargo of one hundred ,tons of
iron, is suppoSed to remain on the spot were thd
vessel. struck. Hopes are still entertained the iron
will be Saved.
