DOVER, DECEMBER 22.

•
I am truly sorry to relate that last night another
dreadful gale came on from the S. S. W. attended
with an exceeding thick snow, and more so to inform
.you that the brig Jane, of Carmarthen, JENICINS mas-
ter, bound from Limerick, with a cargo of butter,
for London, got on shore on the rocks under Hay
Cliff during the gale, and was beat to pieces : her
crew, except the Captain, got on the masts, and were
all drowned when they fell ; he went out on the bow-
sprit, and was thrown by the violence of the sea on
the beach, and thus providentially rescued from a
watery grave ; the cargo was principally driven away
to the Eastward, but some of it washed on shore.—
The brig Eleanor, of Sunderland, HENDERSON master,
laden with iron,•and supposed to be from Cardiff and
bound to London, lies now sunk not far from where
the above brig was lost • her masts ate standing, and
from ber boat having been picked'up on the beach
some considerable distance from her, the crew, it is
supposed, endeavoured to save themselves in it, but,
alas ! they were all drowned, nine corpses have been
picked up on the beach since day-light, and will be
decently interred. Two dismasted ships Were towed
past last evening, by a sloop of war and a gun brig,
and a huge ship wasseen from our hills yesterday on
shore, near Calais.—Wind S. and moderate.

DEAL, DECEMBER 22.
The Supply naval transport arrived in the Downs
last evening, having her bowsprit, foremast, and main
top-mast rne, which she lost in a gale on Sunday.
A galliot, with a cargo cf butter, cheese, Etc. was
brought into the Downs this morning by the Thrasher
gun-brig : a small fishing-smack fell in with her about
ten leagues from Dungeness, having her foremast
gone, and no person on board, after having the yes,
sel in her possession for about sixteen hours, during
which time the water was cleared off her which she
had shipped, the Thrasher gun-brig hove in sight,
when her Commander put an of cer and seamen on
board, and sent the smack's people on shore; the yes.
sel sailed for Ramsgate Pier this afternoon. Several
casks of buster, and a quantity of feathers, were seen
floating past here this morning ; they are supposed to
be part of the cargoes of the two Irish traders that
were stranded at Dover last night, the crews of which,
I am informed, perished, except the master of one.
Arrived the Kangaroo, Crocus, Podargus, and Bus-
tard sloops, from off the coast of France ; Skylark
sloop, from Sheerness.—Wind W. with light air.
DEC. 21—Sailed through the Downs, the Fame,
COURTNEY, for Cadiz; and the Success, CROW, for
Jamaica.—Wind E.S.E.
RAMSGATE, DEC. 21.
Several ships have been blown out of the Downs,
and we understand are gone to Dover ; the weather
seems to moderate ; the wind is now slight. We un-
derstand that none of the Walpole's cargo has yet
been landed, although several craft are round the
vessel. She lays at low water very high and dry,
and do not hear that she has made any water as yet.
On the 19th inst. at night the Swedish ship Twee
Gesusturs, from Norden, laden with oats fur Lon-
don, struck on the Goodwin, and is entirely e:ked;
the crew saved themselves in their boats, and landed
at Broadstairs.
