This is to give notice, that information has beep

the Brig Adventure, of London, William Codling,
!taster, of the burthen of seventy-seven tons, with
a cargo, consisting of various articles of Merchan-
dise, laden on board
,at the Ports of London and
Yarmouth, and bound for Gibraltar and Leghorn,
foundered at sea, about six miles from the shore off
13righthelmstone, the master and crew having pre-
viously quitted her in their
.boat.

Information has also been received, that by the
4ksistance of a Sloop and several Fishing Boats, the
said Vessel was yesterday weighed and brought on
Shore at Brighthelmstone, where the whole of her
argo has been landed, and secured under the King's
'oQks ; the Vessel does not appear to have sustained
any very material. injury in her hull, except one
hole in the after-part of her bottom, and hopes are
entertained that she will be got off the next tide,
and be taken into,the Harbour,
EVAN NEPEAN.

Yesterday morning William Collin, late Master

custody .of one of the Bow-street Officers, .from

been taken at Deal on Sunday, and one of the
Owners, who had been examined on Friday,.
were also brought up. The examination of this
Sailor as well as that of two boys belonging to
the Brig, was read to Collin, who denied any know_
ledge of the offence with which he was charged.—
He was committed for further examination; and the
three persons belonging to the crew, now in cus-
t,ody,,are detained, in order to'give evidence against

The deteCtion of this apparently iniquitous trans-
tEtion to-defraud the Underwriters, is highly cret.,
Bitable to Mr. BREWER, ship-builder of New'
Shoreham , under whose directions the vessel was by
tile Brighton fishermen got on shore, and for which,
understand, he at4cl his assistants have a claim to.
half the ship and cargo. The vessel, whiCh. is 77

,the
of horses, towed into Shoreham harbour.

eeri unloaded. Her cargo consisted 6f, bales of
Sheeting, printed cottons, tobacco, bottled porter,
Castilesoap, services of plate, oils, colours, and
variou-k other merchandize.
