DUNDEE, Auo. 16..7—Yesterday Morning, about
nine o'clock, a boat, with two sptitsails, pro-
ceeding towards Newburgh, was observed to
swamp, about a mile south-west from the Craig.
A boat was immediately sent off to save the peo-
ple,on board. When the. boat reached the spot,
George Anderson, Master of the Eliza, of New-
burgh, was hanging by the keel of the boat, but
his companion, James Mallpch, block-maker, had
sunk. After saOng Anderson an unsuccessful
search was made for Malloch. A sudden and
violent squall of wind was the cause of the ac-
cident.

Accounts from 'Trinidad to the middle of June
state, that a starm had been experienced there
from the 3d to the 6th. of that month, during

we: e left higi and dry after the gale.
The following is an extract of a letter from the
Agent to Lloyd's at Memel, dated 3d. August :
" On the 31st ult. and Ist and 21 inst. we had
a hard gale from the S.W., W., and N.V. The
ships which sailed on the 30,.11 ult. have been seen
by those 'coming this way 30 to 50 miles (Eng-
lish). from the shore."

from a Morning Paper.—By information from
respecting the demands ut the. British on
the .French yands, which were created during the
Replution, it appears, -that, at least, insuperable
diliteulties are not interposed to the realization of
the propertyso invested. It is true that.embarrass-
ment arises when 'claims are •brought forward
which have been in abeyance fur Twenty years;
but nothing more is required than the proper tes-
timony to authenticate the debt: Several claims
have already been entered into the great book,
:and we• til)pe: and believe that our countrymen
will ultintatel•y acquire the payment to which they
are so justly entitled, and which has so fitly been
assigned to them by the stipulations between the
two Governments. . .

For the design of the Carriage of the Grew
Cadiz Mortar, and' the , inscription upon it (o

Woolwich, who ptodnced this fine specimen n
emblematic trophy. without receiving a suggestion
from any quarter.

Am Old of ordnance (an IS-non:icier) has

On Montky last the Mayor and CoMmonalty,
at a meeting convened by the Mayor, resolved
to confer the freedom of this ancient botough,
by patent, on the Bight Hon. CHAIILKS PHILIP
IbRKE, in .testimony 'of the high sense they en-
tertained of the eminent services rendered by•him
in having, when First Lurd of the Admiralty, by
his manly and inflexible perseverance, promoted
and carried through the Council the resolution to
'adopt'
.the establishment of that great national
work the Pier or Breakwater in.Plymonth Sound,
an undertaking of the highest importance to the
public welfare, and of the most essential benefit
to the port. And in order to commemorate the
'interest he took in that great work, the Mayor
and Commonalty resolved,tbat the freedom should
be presented to hint in a box, made front part
of the first block of stone laid for forming the
-Breakwater (a piece haying been preserved) in.
