ROSCOFF, Jan. 9.
GENTLEMEN,.—Since writing the foregoing, I have been at
and seen the Commissariat there, who says I cannot
kceive the proceeds of sale of the wreck of the Indian, with-
"t it power of attorney attested by the Lord Mayor of Lon-
-4", and also a list of the passengers attested by the same
authority; also, if possible, attested by the French Consul in
tundon; and as it is needless for me to remain here for your
411strer, I think the best method is to send the power to the
Ihittse of Messrs. Hillary and Co., Roscoff, department de Fi-
Nsterre, appointing them as your agents here, from whom
Llye to draw cash to defray my expences here. I will leave
this in a few days, either by way of Guernsey or Plymouth,
Qs there will he a conveyance fur both places in two or three
ti4Y,. and hope I shall soon see you in Loedon to give you
further information. The sale of the ship and cargo of the
Islura is appointed for the !tut instant, as I hear they have
alot succeeded in getting the ship off. I ant, &e.

THE SIR JOSEPH BANKS.
We some time since gave the particulars of a mutiny nu
I)°ard the Sir Joseph Banks convict-ship, on her passage for
New South Wales. It appears, that three of the ringleaders
IA the mutiny were put on hoard the American vessel Galen,
Maim Tracy, to be delivered over to the British Consulate
4 the United Slates. Captain Tracy has recently arrived in
111i1 country, and from a laudable anxiety to prove that hr
faithfully executed his engagement to the master of the Sir
useph Banks, requests us to insert the following documents

BRIG PERSEVERANCE.—On the mornin;.,, of Sa

turday last, about half-past two, the brig Per-
severance, PH [LIP, of this port, from Pictmu,
with timber, having, as is said, mistaken a
tin the shcre, near lielhelvie, for, the light on the
Pier-head, was put ashore on the sands there.—
The master and crew took to their boat, together
with a man and woman passengers, in all tem per-
sons ; when, in making for the shore, the boar
swamped betwixt Collieston and Newburgh, and
melancholy to rehte, five of the crew, with the
two p ASsengers, perished. The Captain, carpen-
ter, and one ot the crew, with difficidty saved
themselves. ‘Ve are unwilling to aggravate the
ot any one concerned. in this distressing
calain'ty ; but we inns( be petmitted to say, that
not but infatnation could have actuated the

caster „t abpinclon her in the situa

tioo in which she lay, to commit his own life,
and the lives of those on board, to a small and
insufficient boat, at a time when the sliAtebt

danger could hardly have bee►► anticipated tton►
remaining with his vessel ; the best proof of
which is, that she tioatrd off next title, and was
brought round in safety, to the harbour, and with
no other damage than what arose from the neg-
ligence of the master or crew, in leaving a light
burning on hoard, when they abandoned the ship,
whereby a l►art of her decks we're tonitimed,
cable htirnt, &e. The people in ti►e neighbour-

kood got on hoard of her at low water, and ex-
tingnished the fire, °then% ise the vessel and carat)
might have been entirely destroyed.—(dberdeen
Journal.)

THE EVANSES.—%%'e mentioned yesterday the

ibetation of these men. The follo►ving account
s given of the circumstances attending their en-

irgernent

" Tuesday evening, between four and five
o'clock, the two EVANSES, father and son, were
liberaied by special order from Lord SIDNIOCTI-1,
together with a, Air. BENBow, who had been con-
fined under a similar charge, and who, we be-
lieve, is a shoemaker, and resided formerly in
-Manchester. Mrs. LEANS, who has been in the

daily habit of visiting her son and huiitand, went
on Tuesday to Horsemonger-lane prison, and at
four o'clock, when she came away, had not the
slightest notion that either of them would be
liberated : but a very short time alter she had
arrived at home, both her huslyind and her goo,
who had been confined about 50 weeks, returned.
We understand that a very short time after boar
o'clock, a King's Messenger arrived at Horse.
monger-lane Prison, with official orders from
Lord SIDMOUTH to liberate the State Prisoners,
and directed to the Governor of the Gaol. The
Governor in person then went to the two
EVANSBS and formally delivered the orders he had
received. These orders were immediately com-
plied with, anti they quitted the prison. An ac-
tion is to he immediately instituted egainst Sir
N. CONANT. Young EVANS iS to conduct his
own cause, in imitation of Mr. IVoolEk and M.
HONK."--(The Times.)
