ST. PEIERSBURGH, DEc. ro.

litE It Lobe& and two Swedish Ships were yes--
terday haepily brought through the ice, in which
they were irozen at seven wersts, or about five
miles from Cronstadti. into Cronstadt Harbour.
Four of them came from French and German Ports,
and one had just sailed from this place. They were
all deeply laden, and in the greatest danger of being
cut in pieces' by the ice. Capt. PRI EtiN, of Lu-
beck, who. bad already lost an anchor, and saw de-
stration before his eyes, ventured, at the hazard
of his life, to go on shore over' the loose j)ieces of
ice, to seek assistance ; he found in Mr. NIEMANN
courage and readiness to assist him.. An Officer and
•4z volunteers, Oder PRIEIIN'S And Ni Eivia.tiN's di.
reaion,offered to remove bff the dangerous floats
of the drift ice, to relieve the Ships from their ex-
treme danger. Provided with hoards, and tools
for breaking up the ice, . they. proceeded, one the
e4thNovernoer, towards PRI BIM'S Ship, the Anna
Christina, whjeb lay still, in opcn water, three
wersts from the flat strand of the shore, and eight
wersts from -Cronstadt, close before the drift ice.
Being prevented by the fog and driving snow from
discovering their way, they wandered about for
five hours upon the it:e , till, by continually calling
our, they succeeded in making themselves perceiv.
ed by 'the crew of the Ship, who answered them
with a speaking trumpet ; but when they reached
the Ship, it was teik late to undertake any thing
that day, and the, therefore' returned to'Cronstadt.
The next day N 4 Ni,‘,,:a! took a comrais with-him
tt; 411,1 Ittic way. They t.c tn_lp bi-ek, - ke,
and thus made A channel, through which they
brought the do fathoms nearer the more fixed
ice. The 2611, in the morning, they perceived,.
with astonishmew, that a large mass of ice, before
Which 'PR t guii!s,Ship had lain the day before, had
drifted away in the nightr. and,that if it had nut
been brought .the preceding day farther- into the
fixed, ice, it woula,probably have been driven ashore,
did cut to pieces, Half a werst from Pgl t UN's
Ship lay the Swedish Ship Ft yheten, Capt.
in' the fixed ice.' Help' was also affOrded to this
Vessel,- The three following days they worked,
these two Shipi through two channels to the nearest
Lubecker, the North Star, Capt. LANGE, which
lay six wersts from Cronstadr. When these three
were united, they made, a channel through the ice.
to the Swedish Ship Venus, Capt.LotsnrltG, and, to
the Lubecker Ship Einigheit, Capt.. STRICK
which .were at a small distance. Continued- frost
and cairn weather now favoured the work, which,
in the first four days, had been excessively impeded
by the fog and drifting snow, the workmen having
to stand from eight in the morning to four in the
afternoon, constantly in the water, which gushed
up as they broke the ice away. Many tell into ,the
water, but were always happily extricated. After
twelve days most fittiguing and dangerous labour,
all the five ships were brought eight wersts through
the ice safely into the Harbour,; and by. NiEr4ANN's
'indefatigable aflivity and courage, this brave man,
who, as well as his 'Companions, regardo neither
health not life, succeeded in saving the crews, the
ships, and the cargoes. The violent gale from the
South which rages to.day, and has set the ice again
adrift, -would certainly have 'driven these ships
ashore, where they must have shared the Cite of the
English ship the Princess of Wales? Capt. 'You XG.

CAPTAIN PZRR I Np of the Ship Richard, informs,
that on the 29th of November, in lat. 36. 50. long.
65. saw a vessel to the S. W. which appeared to be
in imitate distress ; he gave orders to bear down
to her, and, on a nearer approach, found it to be a
wreck The yawl was immediately launched,, al.
thOngh it then blew a stiff breeze, and fortunately
returned to ;the ship.witlithe.Mate, and six of the
Crew of 'the Brig Brutus, of Rochester, bound to
the West Indies. The-account given by the sur-
vivors, of the melancholy accident, is as follows
On the sth of November, towards 'night, a heavy
stiitall of wind came on, which upset the Brig at a
time when almost all hands were below. The Cap.
tain, an old man, and a boy, were in the cabin at
. that period, the former of whom was unfortunately
drowned ; the two latter escaped ,by clinging to
windward, and were 'taken out through the scuttli:
the' next day, by the surviving part of the'rew,
who had cutaway the foremast, and caused the v es.

gt►t At the. provisions. For the twenty.fottr days
they lived on-raw meat and meal ; and when brought
on board, had nothing on but trowsers *and shirts.
They had experienced very bad weather, the sea
frequently breaking over them, and adding to their
distress. During the period of twenty-four days,
they saw eight vessels in sight, none of whom ap-
peared to take .the least notice of the wreck, al.

.
though one of them (a Brig) was in sight the whole
day. The Captain of the Brutms (who unfortunate-
ly was•drowned), was AsA PRICE. The 'survivors_
are Mr. Shaul Norton, Mate ; Andrew Southard,
George. Barlow, Seth Barlow, Nathaniel Snow,
Alvin Phelps--Aa Negro), and Christian. Contkle (a
boy).

The 'Hercule, of 84. guns, Capt. FARR IS, IS or-
dered to be fitted and stored for twelve months, and
to sail immediately for the Mediterranean.
The Censor Gun-vessel, Lieut, .ATCHESON, is
ordered to Leith to receive Seamen.
The sailors at Yarmouth have entered into a re-
solution not to proceed to sea without an advance of
wages ; in consequence of which, the Merchants not
being willing to comply with their request, the ships
are prevented from sailing, as they compel the sailors
to leave their ships.

Major-General CHuitcHit,r, is come home from
amaica in the Ctrbtrus' Frigate.

Cadets nominated for the East Indies,. cannot
proceed if their ages shall be under fifteen., or exceed
twenty-two years, except when such Cadet has held a
Commission in His Majesty'S Service for the term of
one year at least; or the Militia or Fencible Corps
when embodied,, and shall have joined, his Regiment;
or shall have been in the Company of. Cadets of the
Royal Regiment of Artillery. His age, in such cases,
nor to exceed twenty.five years; the Commanders
of the Company's Ships, arc not to demand tor the
passage of a Cadet, more than 951. nor Third Mates
more than 551. for mess. His baggage is limited to
a chest, a trunk of*necessaries, a liquor case, hamper
of wine, cot and bedding.

The value of the Company's Ship the Hindman,
lately wrecked near Margate, is stated to amount to
upwards of one hundred thousand pounds ; slut is, in,
eluding the ship, stores, Company's cargo, and pri-
vate investment. A Letter received from Deal, re-
presents the Hindosum to have sunk very much for_
ward, and as,the swell comes in very strong from the
Eastward, little can be done, as it is become very
dangerous to approach the wreck during the present
weather. Part of the Hindostan's cargo has been
landed at 'Whitstable, but it is a doubt whether the
woollens will be worth preserving.

, The new AO passed lately, to render more easy
the. transportation of offenders, provides, " that
whenever His IVlniesTy shall be pleased to give
orders for the transportation, in any ships or vessels
'belonging to Ills MAiss-ry, of any offender or of-
fenders, who already have, or hereafter may he,
sentenced to be transported to any place or places
within His MA3 EsTy's Dominions beyond the seas,
it shall be lawful for His Mnjrsrv;by any Older
under his 'Royal Sign Manual, to give, if he shall
think fir, to any person or persons nominated and
appointed for that purpose in such Order, a property
in the service of any such olfender or offenders, for
such-: icon Orjetllll-Ur tire or yearS .or any part
thereof respectively, for' which such offender or, of-
fenders, was or were ordered to be transported, as
to fliS MAJESTY shall scent fit ; and on web no.
minatiOn and appointment; such offender or offen-
ders may be delivered to the person or persons so
nominated or appointcd, without any security ,
ing'required or given for the transportation of such
offender or offenders; and every person so. mini.
Oared and appointed, and his or-their assigns, shall
have-the like property in the service of 'such ,offen-
der's, as if such person had contrasted and given se-
curity to transport such offender. oi offenders, in the
manner required by the MI of the 24.th.year of His
MAJasres Reign." •
In the morning pievioils to the ceremony of in.

Chief 'Consul sent to' Lord Winrworurti, to
say, that he, would send the Govonment.Carriap

riage and four might follow. Lord WiirrwOßTH
replied, that as he represented the KiNc of GRFAT

with four, whilst the French carriage had six. After

Gen. MORE AV gave a dinner a few days ago to
several Officers who served under hint during the
War. Near the end of dinner his guests called for
the Cook, and unanimously' decreed him a sauce4an

to one of the first Silversmiths in Paris, arid the al.
fegnries to be engraved on it, are said to carry with
them the most curious allusions.

A report has'been received in Town, that, some
tinteaga a French trading \reseal seas seized by

and the crew put. into irons. The hRsT Coitsut.
made a very humble application to him, through the .
Ottoman Torte, for the deliverance of the people ;
to which he is .said to have replied,:that, as BortA,.
TARTE had made war upon him at the time when he
was at peace with the. Porte, he could not now
yield to any request of his, by any other means
than a Minister sent direilly to Acre from the
French Republic,' to recognize his independence,
and to treat with him for Peace. It is believed
that' the FIRST CONSUL will not fail to aft upon the
invitation thus given ; and that a Negotiation will
be opened with GtlEzzA PACItA, as with a sctre.

Glasgow, who has resided there for some time as s
merchant, being alarmed in his sleep by the beating
backwards and forwards of 'some windows, left °pelt
in his warehouse, probably by the neglect of his
servants, went up stairs to fasten them ; but, in at-
tempting it, he was hurried down into the yard, by
a sudden gust of wind, from a height of near too
feet, and dashed in pieces. His mangled remains
were not discovered till morning. He-was a rciosc
amiable and iyorthy charafter, and very. deservedly
