Particulars respetling ti :
e°ll the night of the 2d inst. the Narcissus and
"ilia gun-brig, together with several of his Ma-
lestY's ships, a Spanish frigate, and a Spanish man
'nf- War brig, were at anchor in the Bay of Santona,
all of which belonged to the squadron under the
encrinland of Commodore AluNns, in his Majes-
'..ry..
snip Areihusa, and were all arrived there
-(r the:purpose of effecting a landing with the
Kamen and marines of the loadron, 'to ,take
I)(3oaession of the town of Sr. Antonio; and about
12 o'clock it came on to hloW a heavy gale ,of wind,
soon increased to a hurricane, when the
tPanisli'frigate drove from her anchorage, and came
athwart the hawse of the Narcissus, by which acci-
dent the toter had her bowsprit carried away,
and parted one cable; both ships were then in
ltarninetit danger, but very so'in after this accident,
ta the Spanish ship was attempting to get clear of
the -Narcissus, the sea running high, she swung
round and carried away the masts of ,the latter by
the board; by the tall of -which, we 'egret to s;,.e,
lite Surgeon of the Narcissus, together 'with a
IViarine belonging to that ship, were killed, and se-
leral seamen and a boy received much hurt ; the
Spanish frigate was then drifting • about, and
'the weather so bad that' it was not possible
-t° get the Spanish sailors aloft to trim the sails, mad
in consequence she soon after ran foul of a Spanish
flan of war brig, mounting 18 guns, laying there,
g'l'en both drifted ashore on the rocks, and, inelati-
cil°lY to relate, both ships went to nieces, and every
'roil in the frigate, except two, togetne,i, with t!-le.
brigs
crew, except the Ca;:•tain, perished. No as-
etistance could be rendered the unto! tuna:e suffeters,
laillQuitting to upwards of 600, as boats could not
live in such a gale. We understand that soon atter
Ithe above unfortunate event took place, aithougn
the weather had much abated, his Majesty's brig
eViiel, of 54 guns, Lieutenant BATT, parted her
tZ3bles, and drove ashore on the rocks in the same
ay,' the crew, we are happy to state, were saved by
The great exertions of the boat's crews of his Ma-
esty's ships lying there.
