The American ship Bristol Packet, Capt. BURNS,
from London for New York ; and the Orient, COLLINS,
from St. Michael's for London, were captured and
scuttled on the 24th and 27th of January, by the Pe-
nelope and Thamise French frigates. The crews
were landed at St. Jago.
The Perseverance, DONOVAN, from Cork, to Bris-
tol, struck upon a ridge of sand, near Kenfig, on the
coast of Glamorgan, about three o'clock on Tues-
day morning se'nntght. There were upwards of 60
passengers on board, who, with the crew, are all saved.
The cargo, consisting of wine, whiskey, butter, soap;
provisions, &c. has been chiefly prem •ved through
the persevering exertions of the neighb 'win gentle-
men, who sent their teams, and rendered every assis.
tance in their power. A large body of people had as-
sembled, but very little pillige took place, a detach-
ment of the Swansea withcaval
the
utmostC alacr t. HU
,GHES,
having marched to the spot
and, with the aid of a early of Sea Fencibles, kept
off the snob, and guarded the cargo till it could be
conveyed to a place of safety. Some of the populace
got at the whiskey, and drank to such excess, that two
of them died, and several others continued very ill.
The vessel has gene to pieces.
Monday se'nnight, during the tremondous gale, a
large vessel drove on the rocks, off Seaford Cliff,
not more than a mile from the town, and but a very
short distance from the shore, which soon went to
pieces. The whole of the crew found a watery grave.
She is supposed to be the Three Brothers, of London,
MacP.oey master, from Surinam to London, laden
with cotton, coffee, and cocoa-nuts. Two anchors
and two cables, one of which is quite new, have been
saved ; and as the weather is become more moderate,
a great part of the cargo may yet be saved.
