drink has brought me to a pretty pass; but I deserve 1'

LOSS OF THE FRENCH WO;
STEAMER, THE PAPIN, WITH SEVENTY'
SIX OF THE PASSENGERS AND CREW.
(From the Paris Messager of Monday.)
The Government yesterday received the painful intej
ligence of the loss of the ste.mer Papin, with one-half
_0
the persons on board. She left Cadiz at two in the after'
noon of the sth inst., bound for Senegal, keeping,
steady course of south-west half-west. The weatb:
was fine during the sth and 6th, but during the folio!,
ing evening the wind changed to west, and blew Ord
extreme violence. About half-past eleven, in the
of the 6th the vessel struck on a sand-bank nine to
to the north of Mazagan, within three cables' levee)
at the utmost of the land. It was impossible to b
the engine as the paddles were embedded in the o°4
For three hours, however, she resisted all the fe'is
of the waves. At four in the morning of the 7;4,
she was full of water, the sea sweeping her deA
At five the funnel fell and crushed several who Is
beneath it. At half-past five, M. Marey Mange, id
French Consul at Mogadore, who was at the extreme ettu
the poop, was washed by a wave down into the hold, n
there perished. Lieut. Deuil met with the same fnteis
few minutes afterwards. Upon this, several of the
threw themselves into the sea with the hope of sfo?
themselves by means of spars floating around ; but rom
of them perkhed also, and it was only by making rs
most desperate efforts that some reached Azimoury
small village three miles to the north of the place vibe
the Papin struck. On the landing of these the Malls
women hastened to receive and assist them. One go
his burnous to M. du Bourdieu, commissioner at 001.4 e
who was a passenger in the Papin. Camels laden lislot
brushwood were brought down, a great fire was ligh
and the natives did all in their power to console and iv
lieve the unfortunate sufferers. At eleven in the mod
ing, the persons who had succeded in getting to land Webs
only thirty in number. The mainmast of ,4
vessel, which, until then, had remained firm, althons
the Papin was cut in two, fell and crushed about till;
persons. Inspired by a generous devotedness, Pet%o4
nerd, the second master gunner, Mirabeau, the sec°_,J
maitre demancruvres,Desforges and Natalani,seamenis
Reyol, a voltigeur, of the ad regiment of marine, Yi
had reached the land, fitted out, with the authorities
M. du Bourdieu, the whale-boat, which was thrown""
the coast in order to make an attempt to save the Yid
sons who were still alive in the vessel. They sueeetr
in getting through the first breakers, but were swel
wards upset and thrown on the shore, which ti:jo
reached safely. In the meantime, Mr. Redman, op
consular agent of England, at Mazagan, and our °a,'
who had left on the same morning for Rabat, heard rAf
a French vessel was wrecked on the coast, immediSS
turned back, and arrived at the scene of disaster. Arog
having provided with the most active solicitude for
first wants of the shipwrecked persons who had reached
the land, Mr. Redman exercised his influence to in°
the Arabs to go on board, and bring off the unlniPso
persons who were still there. The Arabs shovve°4
this deplorable occasion as much courage as huinaliV
In less than two hours they had brought to land fold
four persons, carrying them on their shoulders,. j
swimming whilst the tempest was still raging dr':
fully. After convincing himself by the informaticwoi
three different envoys that there was no longer any licty
person on board the Papin, and after having s„iven,,i
burial rites to eight unfortunate persons, who had
washed ashore, Mr. Redman conducted all the slid
wrecked persons to Mazagan, where the moat eager
attentive care was paid to them by himself and rds
brothers. The letters which have been received 106
Mazagan are full of eulogium of the admirable coo,d
of Mr. Redman. Fourty-four persons, who ren2o4,jl
on the vessel, certainly owe their lives to him'
'Ail
even those who had reached the land are ecrn
indebted to him for life, considering the state,"
suffering and destitution in which he found tlid

ship Espadron was also to leave Cadiz for the 41?
place on the 20th. Mr. Redman has established a Est

materiel of the Papin. M. Moray Menge, the C,,t)si
