Extian from tha Journal of the Lapwing packet,
Captain JOHN HARTNEY, • from Falmouth to Suri-
nam, and back, beo.veetr December 1811, and
April 18 t s.—" I beg leave here to state, for the
information of vessels trading or bound to Surinhm,
that great part of Brain's point, which formed the
East side of the entrance to the port, together with
all the distinguishing marks which were thereon
etected, had been washed away by the rollers_, about
two mouths previous ia our arrival ; and that in
consequence of this accident, several trading ves-
sels had missed the entrance and run to leeward ;
and were, when I arrived, at some distance from
the port, stuck fast'in the mud. where they still re-
?mined on the 28111 January, date of my sailing
from thence. Apprehensions were entertained re-
speaing their safety. This information, if not be-
fore known in England, may be of some benefit to
those concerned in the trade of that co!ony.".
