The Recruit brings important Admiralty dispatek.,f°
and heavy mail bags. Off Cape Finisterre, between e'fr
and seven o'clock in the evening of the 20th inst., whe°
under close-reefed foretopsail and double-reefed main'
topsail, she experienced a very sudden and heavy squall
which nearly capsized her. She carried away her nut10.
yard, and used her maintopsail for a mainsail until the
yard was fished. The storm was succeeded by severe
lightning. The increased ballast has caused the Recruit
to sail better; but in consequence of the malconstructle,l3
of her rudder she still steers badly, and occasionall
throws the man over the wheel.
