(From the Paris Messages of Monday.)
The Government yesterday received the painful Intel'

the persons on board. She left Cadiz at two in the after'
noon of the sth inst., bound fur Senegal, keepiug
steady course of south-west half-west. The weather
was fine during the sth and 6th, but during the follow'
ing evening the wind changed to west, and blew wil,k,
extreme violence. About half-past eleven, in the night
of the 6th the vessel struck on a sand-bank nine will
to the north of Mszsgan, within three cables' levgT
at the utmost of the laud. It was impossible to bar'
the engine as the paddles were embedecd in the se°,,.
For three hours, hoeever, she resisted all the feta
of the waves. At four in the morning of the 7,111
she was full of water, the sea sweeping her deel'

mast desperate efforts that some rescind Azimoar,

the Pepin struck. On the landing of these the Morse'

his burnous to M. du Bourdieu, commissioner at Geree,
who was a passenger in the Papin. Camels laden with
brushwood were brought down, a great fire was lighted+
and the natives did all in their power to console and re'
lieve the unfortunate sufferers. At eleven in the more'
ing the persons who had suceeded in getting to land Were
only thirty in number. The mainmast of th,e
.
vessel, which, until then, had remained firm, althoug°
the Pepin was cut in two, fell and crushed about thirty
persons. Inspired by a generous devotedness, Dotes'
uard, the second master gunner, Mirabeau, the secoe°,
maitre de manoeuvres, Desforges and

Royol, a voitigeur, of the 3d regiment of marine, 101
had resulted the land, fitted out, with the authority 0`
M. du Bourdieu, the whale-boat, which was thrown °
the coast in order to make an attempt to save the per:
suns who were still alive in the vessel. They succeeds('
in getting through the first breakers, but were after
wards upset and thrown on the shore, which the'
reached safely. In the meantime, Mr. Redman, Oil
consular agent of England, at Mazagan, and our ow"
who had left on the same morning for Rabat, heard that
a French vessel was wrecked on the coast, immediateli
turned back, and arrived at the scene of disaster. .After
having provided with the most active solicitude for the
first wants of the shipwrecked persons who had reached
the land, Mr. Redman exercised his influence to induce
the Arabs to go on board, and bring off the unhale
persons who were still there. The Arabs showed °
this deplorable occasion as much courage as humanity
In less than two hours they had brought to land fort
four persons, carrying them on their shoulders, 07
swimming whilst the tempest was still raging tireso;
fully. After convincing himself by the information 0'
three different envoys that ~here was no longer any help%
parson on board the Papin, and after having Oven the
burial rites to eight unfortunate persons, who had heel'
washed ashore, Mr. Redman conducted all the abir,
Wrecked persons to Alazagan, where the most eager e°
attentive care was paid to them by himself and , is Wes
brothers. The letters which have been received from
Mazagan are full of eulogium of the admirable conduct
of Mr. Redman. Fourty-four persona, who remitine:',
ou the vessel, certainly owe their lives to him, 0,
even those who had reached the land are equal/
indebted to him tor life,- considering the state
suffering and destitution in which he found theo;
When the news of the loss of the Papin arrived

the British naval force, hastened to write to our
sal, offering to send to the sp it the English stearet
Flamer with the necessary succours. The Flamer, to
lact, left immediately for Mazagan. The Government
ship Espadron was also to leave Cteiiz for the same
place on the 20th. Mr. Redman has established a gull
of thirty men to save as much as may be possible of the
l
materiel of the Papin. M. Moray Menge, the Coned(

the vessel, and all the staff of the vessel, with the 0'
