WE are concerned to state the loss ofl-lis Ma-
jesty's Ship Determiar, of /8 guns, commancted by
Captain BECHrIt. With some other Frieates she
was conveying the S tst Regiment to tir Island of
jersey, and not having a proper Pilot on board,

she- Unfortunately stuck on a sunken rock a little
distance from Noirmont Point in that Island,
on Saturday aftetnoon last, about four o'clock,
and in about fifteen minutes she filled; . The
Boats from tie other Men of War :tnd the .
shore were klively employed in saving the ,11.',4315, •
but thotigh everypossible exerti9,.wasupdes we
stfeeinieernici to say tlist about -Arty lives Were
unfortunately lost.,—rOut of these.ten were §oldiers,
two Women and. three Children—all the test were
Seamen.
The Determines, we understand, lies- with her
inoadside on the Rock, and at low water part of
her quarterdeck and her masts, were visible:two
daYte after. As the weather was favourable, hopes
Were entertained of saving a part of her stores, &e.
for which putpose Boats were employed.
y Letters from lersty,,of the 28th we learn
that the Frenchman, calling himself the Pre/rib
Coma, but in.litel'Y left that Island the
"Deng week for France, to the .great joy of
"-6rY (*,of the loyal Inhabitants. - Two days al-
.
to departure the Commandet' in Chief ordered
Guards to be monnted all round the Island, and
'the Artillery were preparing the Batteries for irn.
mediate service.
The same Letters inform • us, that in France the
Troops were all in motion, and having been removed
from their Cantonments, wire quartered on the
bitants. A Strons aversion preVails in the minds
of the French Nation in general to the renewal of
Hostilities with this Country, but they seem to
(ear that it is inevitable.

Wr cannot ytt trg,l2ieve the public anxiety tespsEt.-
Ingthe probable issue ,of the. Negotiation. 11-bete
has been no arrived from FraNce either yesterday or
this morning, and Ministers most properly continue
I •tp preserve a most inviolable siereey. Warlike-
preparations are, however gthioy pursuect, that,
should Way be the alternatiire, we may be ready io
enter upon it with vigour and effeft. The spirit of
the Country meanwhile is completely roused, and
breathes unanimity and patriotism; as it is obvious
to every man in it, that if•we are to have: War, its
renewal will not be attributable to ourselvel." Many
Offers; we understand, have been. Made to Govern..
Alolot,,oftratithog Corps of different descriptions, and
wehayego doubt but that the great majority of the
LN
t arc ,prepiired to.saerilice both their fortunes
and their lives in our defence. •
