Extra& of ale ter frOm Msdeira, dated April t :
—" The day I sailed from Teiceira, (itth instant,)
the Captain and crew of an English ship, of up-
wards of boo tons; arrived from Graciasa, then- ship
having foundered twe:Aty•five leagues from that
island ; she had been out five years from England,
and was from Lima, laden with copper, indigo,
IV.c. The Captain told me that she had been upon
the coasting service for the. East India Company;
but, as the owner was with them, I imagine
that she has been on the contraband trade. I
did not ask her name. She mounted twenty-eight
guns."
The Dauntless sloop of war has arrived at Ports-
mouth, with part of her convoy, ,from Jamaica.—
