TIIE ROBERT BRUCE STEAM PACKET..—Extract Of a
Letter from a passenger on board the Robert Bruce steam
packet, to the Agent :—" This fine vessel sailed from Liver-
pool for Dublin, on the 28th August. On' the passage, the
Captain (who never quitted the deck) perceived an unusual heat
and smoke to proceed from the cabin, when he immediately or-
dered the fire under the boilers to be put out. On going below,
he found that some of the fire had communicated with the wood
in the coal-hole ; and the fire rapidly increasing he, with great
presence of mind, with the assistance of the passengers and crew,
had the good fortune to keep the fire down, by a plentiful and
regular supply of water, while he ran the vessel for Damus Bay,
in North Wales, where he landed the passengers and luggage
in perfect safety, 'all of whom attest the meritorious conduct of
Captain Carlisle, the pilot, and the crew. •We hear the damage
to the vessel is much less than could have been expected, but
the precise cause of the accident cannot as yet be correctly as-
certained."—[A letter from Holyhead, dated Tuesday night,
ten o'clock, states that the Bruce went down in about -half an
hour after the passengers and crew quitted her.]
The Prince of Wales Revenue cruiser, commanded by Capt.
Stuart, arrived on Sunday se'nnight, in• Rothsay Bay, with a
French lugger, captured on the Coast of Orkney, on Sunday the
19th inst. The lugger being a remarkably quick sailer, was
chased for some time by Capt. Stuart, without success, when
a dead calm ensuing, she was abandoned by all her crew, who
succeeded in effecting their escape. 'When taken possession of
by the boats of the Revenue cutter, she was found to be laden
with gin, silks, snuff, &c. to a very considerable amount and
value.
