Loss OF HER MAJESTY'S PACKET SFEY,--It is with
painful feelings we announce the loss of her Majesty's
brig Spey, Lieut. James. on her outward voyage ti
Mexico. On the 24th of November last, she struck on h
coral reef, in the Bahama Straits, but fortunately held to-
gether a sufficient length of time to get out the mai:.
stores, &c., which, with the crew and passengers, we:
all saved. The vessel is, however, a total wreck. Th
crew and passengers were under tents at Raccoon, and
sloop was expected from Nassau to take them and the
on to the liavannahs.

A private letter from her Majesty's steamer Hydra, witis
which we have been favoured, gives,some details of the tre-
mendous gale of the 2d of December. The Hydra laid in
an awkward position, to the leeward of the ships and ves-
sels, so that everything that broke *drift was likely to
come in contact with her ; she got her steam up, and put
out to sea. On the 3d the Austrian corvette, that had
lost her foremast, was towed to Cyprus by the Gorgon, to
get repaired; seven or eight vessels drove on shore in
George's Bay, and some sank at their anchors. on the
15th, Sir Charles Smith embarked on board the Hydra at
Beyrout, and she proceeded to Alexandria, where sheaar;
rived on the 17th. The Liverpool bad arrived the same
day bringing the news of the birth of the Princeess_RarnYB
whose honour a Royal salute was
fired
by December forYIL
u7_
The Hydra was to sail on the 20th of f
sb. .
=rice. The harbour of Alexandria is full o
and the town is of course extremely busy; provisions v
nevertheless cheap, fowls being a shilln:.g a palr, and ge
twenty pence each.
