AttltlvErs yesterday after Post, the Cynthia
Sloop from the Mediterranean,' and sailed through

this morning, with the Juno, for Portsmouth.
Sailed this morning, the Bloodhound Gun.brig,
on a Cruize ; and this afternoon the Snipe Gun-brig
for Ostend.

Arrived from Portsmouth, and sailed through for
the Nor'e, the Lotus/ Gun-brig.

• , The Leopard, of so guns, arrived at Portsmouth
Ilti• Thursday from the East Indies, brought Dis.
Vales from the Cape, which she left on the lath
• meeeMber, at which time the British Forces still
remained there. The Company's ship Ca/edonia
7ivas at St. Helena. •
The Viaoriour, of 74 guns, and the OrpheutFti.
ktel are daily expe&ed to arrive from the Cape of
kiood Hope.
Aeconnts have been received of the melancholy
fate of the John and Simon, Captain Mott, bound
to Barbadoes, in the service of the mercantile house
Of %Witt. and Sorg, in Mincing.lane. This ship
WAS to have taken • in a cargo of wine at Madeira,
but was unfortunately run aground on that island,
and was soon dashed to.pieces by the breakers.
Seven men were saved, but all the others, including
Captain and Passengers, unhappily perished.—
Attlo'ng the latter, we have heard the names of Mr.
VELoakvE, two Mr. GOLDRIDGES, and Dr. Dk.
31A*, Surgeon.
,The fate of the Mr. GOLDRIDGES
ilo peculiarly lamentable. They were sons of an
OPuleht Planter in Barbadoes, who had sent them to
this Country for education. They were deserving
young men, and were on'their return to their fond
and anxious father. Dr. DANAY also, of Barba.
gift?, was said to be a very worthy young man.
,Nineteen persons perished.
On the z6th of this month, a Boat, or Cutter,
*Reared off -Ostend in great distress, coming from

hoard ; but although immediate assistance was given
from the shore, ,the Boat upset, and every soul pc.
Yithed : one man was picked 'up With some small
ttigns of life, but every attempt to restore, him to
lite proved fruitless. On examining the Boat, it
had marked on it the King's mark, and " Hazard's
Jolly Boat." There were found in it sounding
lines and every. thing necessary for making oh.
servat ions on the entrance of the Harbour of °item!.
The Boat was. taken .possession of by the ()Meer of
Marine, until it can he ascertained to whom it be.
longs, It since appears to have been a Boat belong-
ing to His Majesty's Ship. ricasta, Captain-J. A.
WOOO, with a Lieutenant and thirteen men on
board, and had been making observations and sound.
