MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK.
The brig Venus, Captain Simon, from Newfoundland came
into the harbour of St. Helier yesterday morning (Mon -
day, the 13th inst.), having on board nine men, the surviving
part of the crew of the ship 'Windermere, of Liverpool, Samna
Cole Lyon, master, which foundered in a heavy gale near the
coast of Ireland, on the Bth instant. The Nirindermere was a
tine ship of 367 tons hurthen, with a crew of 21 men and boys ;
she was bound from Old Calabar to Liverpool, laden with
palm oil, ivory, red-wood, and had on board Er een hundred
dollars in spectre. On the Bth January, at ten, r.st., being in
60 deg. N. lat. and 14 W. long., in the midst ui a violent gale,
the vessel shipped a heavy sea, which tore the ringbolts from the
deck, carried away the boats, .and split the lee-gunwale; it
also carried away part of the stanchions, and the ship tusking
a great deal of water, the pumps were kept constantly going.
At eleven o'clock, a tremendous sea struck her again, which
hove her on her beam ends, carried away her foremast' and
bowsprit, and washed the master and eight of the crew Over.:
board. She immediately filled, but the remaining pan of the
crew having cut away the main and mixer masts,, she righted.
In a few minutes more, the decks were forced up by the pres-
sure of the water underneath ; and the crew, now reduced to
fourteen; were obliged to take refuge on he poop. In the
course of the night two more hands were washed overboard,
and next day one boy died through exCessive cold and fatigue.
In this horrid situation, straining every nerve to maintain
their hold against the fury of the waves, which threatened
every moment to ingulf them, the miserable remnant of the
crew remained without any sustenance whatever, until the
lOth instant, when at twelve o'clock, the brig Venus, of
Jersey, hove in sight, and with a praiseworthy humanity
every effort was made to rescue the unhappy sufferers front
their perilous situation. lint here another difficulty pre-
, rented itself, for the Venus had lost her boats, and had other-
wise been .materially injured in a previous.gsle ; the only me-
thod therefore of escape, was by swimming, and the assistance
of ropes thrown towards the wreck, by which Means about three
r.itt. nine men at length got on board the Venus, two more
being drowned in the attempt. Nothing could exceed the at-
tention of the matter and crew of the Venus to the unfortunate
sufferers; they gave them up their beds, and Shared their
chithea with tern ; the foremost in these offices of humanity
being Mr. Nicolle (sera to Judge Nicolle, the owner of the
Venus), who fortunately happened to 1w on board. The fol-
, lowing is a list of the crew of die Windermere, the owners of
which are Messrs. Chas. llorsfall and T. Tobin, of Liverpool.
Drowned S. C. Lyon, master; James Fox, surgeon T.
Smith, carpenter ;W. tienesti, steward ; Foster, Joseph
Joiner, C. Tear, coopers ;- J. Middleton, suilniaker • W. Mu-

Yesterday forenoon, between 10 and 11 o'clock,
three of • the prisoners in Sri—dowel' contrivcd to effect their
escape by taking advantage of some excavations, and other al-
terations making by the workmen employed in erecting ,the
additienal tread.wheel machinery. The criminals, however, did
not long enjoy their newly-acquired freedom ; for, by the in-
trepid and praise-worthy exertion* of a gerideirian resident in
New-street, Canonotte, who observed them shortly aftelthev
had dropped from the boundary wall of the nrideweli, ono of
them With inunediatelY sectored, and another Waif at the *tine tittle
retaken by a private of the itnyal Seats Greys, who accidentally
happened to be passing, and to whom the gentleman commie i-
cated thealarm. Both prisoners made a desperate resistance, and
one of them drew a knife from his pocket upon the soldier, vrto,
nevertheless, gallantly kept hie hold, and wine ether pettier,*
having by this Hine lent their aid, the prisoners were carried to
the Canongate watch-house, and thortly afterwanls returned to
their old quarters, to enjoy a little farther exercise upon the
tread-mill. The third fugitive was apprehended upon 'the
High-street, in the coarse of a few hours, by one of the of terra
of olice, and in like manner recnrernitred to his former ebecio
and laborious occupation.. (Riiiiribure Courantolan. )

[MORNING nertAt.n.]
Lord gountcharles's departure from Brighton
has been delayed for the. present. It is not true
that' his Lordship is going abroad (us it was
stated in a Morning Paper) on 4i a secret mis-
,aion." If he goes abroad at all, which is now
extremely doubtful, it, is solely for the more per-
fect.recovery of his health, which has suffered
TORterially from a long and severe indisposition ;
nor is' it true (as the same Paper' informs us) that
his Lordship, has perfortned ell the duties of his
father's office since the departure of Sir B. Bloom-
field. Lord Mountcharles holds no situation in
his Majesty's Ilowehold, nor does he perform
the duties of any body else's office ; so far from
it, his Lordship is remarkable for his extreme
forbearance from every thing that would have the
least appearance of interfering in any of the ar-
rangements of the Ilouseholti. f His residence in
the Pavilion, which commenced early in the
autumn, long before his Majesty's arrival, has
been strictly private, and entirely on account of
health.

Nothing transpired in the course of yesterday
calculated to remove the suspense which has for
some time prevailed with respect to the ultimate
issue of the negociations between France and
Spain. It seems to be expected, that on tha
nfeeting of the Chambers, which was to take
place yesterday, the Government would present
a moderate view of its policy, resting, for the
present, on a defensive system. ft is certainly
most probable that the King of France will not
at once declare war against Spain. His Ministers
wilt naturally wish first to ascertain the temper
tend sentiments of the two Chambers, and rather
to take the tone from them; than to give an rm.,
pulse which might not be readily secoltded.—
Irliar cannot be the natural desire of a Govern-
ment like that of France, which has been em-
ployed for seven or eight years remedying the
of nearly thirty years of Revolution ; but
yet circumstances may imperiously, urge the
French Government to hostilities: and we fear
that the present circumstances are M. such a
twine.

Wf! onderbtand that Lord Colchester is ap

pointed Secretary of State for the Colonies,
Atlz e room of Lord Bathurst, who receives the
Presidency of the Council. Lord Harrowhy
retires. We ore not prepared to say in what
manner the general policy of the Cabinet, will be
influenced by this change ; but we should sup-
pose it would leave matters nearly in statu quo.
One benefit the country has certainly received
by it—the removal of Lord' Bathurst from the
Colonies.. It is hardly possible that, the adminis-
trei.con of liord'Colchester should not he an im-
provement on that of his predecessor. Other
have their favourites, even out of their
own party, but we never heard asyllable uttered
in praise of his Eordshipis Colonial Administra-
tion by any individual of any party. The
Nyitern on which our Colonies are governed is no
doubt, bad in itself; but under a tolerable Admi-
nistration, the abuses which it has a tendency to
generate might at all events have been somewhe
checked.

Private letters have been received from Mexico,
which represent that Empire as on the eve of a
great CQIIVOSiaII. The petty plots and insurrec-
tions which had taken place in many of the pro-
vinces bad been suppressed by the soldiery ; but
itae conduct of the new Emperor had been SO
unexpectedly tyrannical, and some of his mea-
sures so unjustifiably severe, that a general in-
surrection was feared. The principal part of the
monied mercantile interest was against his autho-
rity, and as Isis pecuniary means were decreas-
iirg, it was imagined that' the soldiery, hitherto,
well paid, nod the only support of his authority,:
would become less active in their opposition to'
the wishes of so large a portion of the people of
Mexico. These apprehensions of civil war had,
cauLcd it great depression of all the mercantilel
interests, and men awaited the dreaded result,
before they embarked their capital in commeri
chi speculations, and repdered themselves liable
to be reduced to beggary.

[Jun Tlmri.l
A Now York paper of the ',2oth ult. lias been
received, which contains some important intelli;
gence from Peru. it is there stated, that accord-
ing to advices received at Guayaquil on the 2,oth
df September, La Serne, the late Viceroy and
Commander of the whole Spanish force which
retreated into the interior on San Martins's entry
into Lima, had declared himself independent of
Spain, and that one division of his army was
within one day's march of Lima. Pisco was in
the possession of La Serna's troops. San Martin
arrived at Callao from Guayaquil on the 19th of
August. On returning to Urea, he expressed
digivpprohatiou of the change in the administra-
tion that had taken place in his absence, by the
removal uf the Secretary of State,.Monteagudo, and
deposed from office all the remaining members of
iheGovernment. This was considered an extremely
=popular act of Sun. Martin's, particularly with
mord to the Marquis of Torre Tagle, the Su-
prkrue Magistrate, who was highly eStPerned and
respected by the, inhabitants of Lima, and to have
much increasedthe danger of !Ili ~itnation, arising
from the change of La Serou'i sentiments. Ad-
miral Blanco, with the Peruvian squadron, was
at. Callao on the sth of September, where au ex-
pedition was preparing against Arequipa and Arica,
in which the troops supplied as auxiliaries• by
Bolivar were to be employed. This force had-in
part arrived, and the remainder (5,000 in all)
avere daily expected at Callao from Guayaquil.
