BRIGHTON, OCTOBER 9.

Yesterday was a turbulent day ; a strop wind
caused a most tremendous swell in the Channel,g blow-
ing from the west. Abodt ten o'clock, A. M. a sail
was distinguished in the Offing, a colour, a signal of
distress, being flying at her gaff end. The intrepidity
of the fishermen of- this place, when so called upon,
is ever conspicuous, and a boat with the following
persons, William Harvey, John Jefferies, Thomas
Brapple Calm, John Tettersell, and Jonas Marchant,
at the risk of their lives, were coon after afloat. Num-
berless were the spectators of fashion at this time on
the Cliff ; for though the gale was a severe one, no
rain cell. In about an hour and a half the boat reached
the vessel, which, as we have since learned, was an
American built brig, in the British service, which
[ailed with the last convoy from the Downs, bound
to Poole, there to take in lading, salt fish, &c. for the
Straights. On the preceding evening, however,
(Friday), about six o'clock, the weather came on so
tempestuous, that she unfortunately lost her foretop.
mast, and soon after her main, and being otherwise
seriously damaged, at the back of the Isle of Wight,
the vessel was put abont,with an intention, if possible,
of regaining the Downs, or of running into the first
port, after their good fortune should send to their re-
lief a pilot. When the above boat reached her, some
time elapsed ere they could lay her alongside ; for so
exhausted were the crew of the brig, six in number,
after beating about all the night, that not one of them
possessed strength sufficient to hurl a rope from the
deck. Owing to this circumstance, the boat, the first
attempt to board, dropped astern, and narrowly es-
caped
being sunk ; for the swell of the water brought
the aft part of the vessel so in contact with her, that
the bow was partially store in. The fishermen, how-
ever, nothing daunted, though so narrowly missing. a
watery grave, did not relax in their efforts to assist
their distressed fellow creatures, and in the end suc-
ceeded in getting on board. The wreck of the fore-
mast they found resting on the forecastle, and that of
the mainmast swinging in the shrowds f for the crew
had been totally incapable of clearing the ship of those
incumbrances. Happily no lives were lost, and at
about two o'clock, P. M. the brig was safely piloted
into the harbour of Newhaven, but where she had I
not been an hour, when two large lugger-rigged
French privateers hove in sight, in that part of the
offing-from which she had been so skilfully conducted.
A light collier there was presently taken by them, and
but for the ready conduct o fishermen, in attend.
ing to her signal of distress, f ththee trading brig must in-1
evitably have shared the same fate. The name of the
brig, so happily preserved by the fishermen, is th..

been a charming day; and, since two o'clock, the
rides and walks have exhibited lively pictures

PIIO9OURFDSIR,
IBEG leave to inform you, that ever since the year
1790,1 had been afflicted with the l.raes Venerea ; wic ich, from
its obstinately reeting every course of medicine prescribed by the
most eminent of faculty here, and undergoing several severe
courses of salivation, and twice discharged fronsthe Hospital, with
little relief, would appear to be of the most inveterate nature. in
the spring of last year my disorder had got to such a head, as
nearly to put a period to my existence. I had a large alter on the
crown of my head, one on each arm, and my legs were broken
out in a frightful manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and
bad been in a state of ulceration for the last seven years; my left
had also two nodes upon it, was very much discoloured, and gave
me such excruciating pain, particularly when warm in bed, as
nearly to deprive me of rest; in this Laineutahle state, I was re-
commended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so great a cure
by them here,) to the your Leake's Patent Pi!Ls, which I began
to do oti the 26th May; in the course of a fortnight i began to
receive benefit—in little more than a month the ulcers on my
head and arms were soundly healed—soon after, the sores on my
leg healed also: leaving, however, considerable discolours•
Von in the skin, and pain in the bone of the left, which, by the
blessing of God, and a little longor perseverance in your invalua-
ble Medicine, subsided ; the nodes dispensing, the akin regaining
its natural hue, and the nocturnal pains gradually going off—l thus
became, by your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from
my former complaints—have recovered my former spirits and
strength, and am become jolly and tat, in which statehaving con-
tinued many mouths to the astonishment of all who knew me, I
am at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but beg you,
for the good of other suffering mortals, to make this my case as
public as possible, as I shall on every occasion—in so doing you
will greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful obedient very huin'de see
want, ALEX. hIURNER.
