DREADFUL SHIPWRECK,
A Russian ship was wrecked off Alderney Rocks, and broke
to pieccs ; part of the stern separated from the rest. The crew,
consisting of twelve men, remained on it, and cucountered the
most tremendous seas for five days and six nights, with only a
few biscuits for sustenance; the last three days they never tasted
food. On Saturday morning, Dec. 29, they drifted to the back
of the Isle of Viright, near to Stephill. he fishermen of that
place, with their usual exertions to save a fellow-creature from
a watery grave, at the utmost risk of their own lives, succeeded
inn getting the Captain and one man off the wreck, the sea rtm-
g mountain high. The Captain, after taking a glass of
wine, began to recover, and cheered he remainder by assuring
them that every thing would be done to save them, which was
happily accomplished. Every possible care was taken of the
unfortunate sufferers ; one died soon after he was brought •
ashore- the remainder passed through Newport on their way
to the Russian Consul at Cowes.

The Banse,'irp.lugger, arrived at Cove on Wed-
nesday from Fluo,l,Ap,-, tons, 10 guns, 45 men, laden with
1300 bales of tobacco, belldes tea, gin, &c. (quantity un-
known); she w:;.s captured on Christmas night, about 12
o'clock,. off Robert's Head, by the boats of his Majesty's ships •
Semiramis and Cyrus. The information of her being off was
communicated to the Admiral about 10 o'clock, when he imme-
diately dispatched the Clinton schooner and the boats in quest
of her. She is valued at 12,0001. ; the Admiral's share will be„
a good New Year's Gift; part of the crew, supposed to be
English, escaped in one of the boats belonging to the King's
ship, which they very adroitly got hold of;—the men now in
custody under the smuggling Acts, are for the most part
Foreigners. The crews in the boats of the Semiramis and
Cyrus behaved most gallantly, and fairly deserve the prize.
