SHIP NEWS,

STORM IN THE RIVER PLATE.
EXTRACT OF A. LETTER DATED BUENOS AYRES,
AUGUST 24.
Early on the morning of Sunday, the tOth inst.
we experienced one of the severest gales from
the south-east, accompanied with the highest
tide ever remembered in this place ; and the
damage done to the shipping, as well as the town,
is very considerable. In L Ensenada nothing
material has happened to the shipping ; but we
fear for the fate of the vessels that may have en-
tered the river, the wind being previously fair
for that purpose. The following is a list of the
vessels wrecked here :
••• • •

The Achilles, of London, Tindall, loading for Chili; had a
few dry goods on board, which were saved, but very much
damaged, and the vessel unfit for sea.
The Trafalgar, of Liverpool, Coulson, loading for London'
had on board upwards of 10,000 hides, which will be saved,
but much damaged ; two of the crew drowned in the main-
top before assistance could be given them ; the vessel a com-
plete wreck

The Russian ship Hercules, with timber, the English
schooner Ann, in ballast, and the French brig IS-avarrois,
cannot he gut The American brig Argo, Storey, for the
Havannah, with about 1,000 quintals of jerked beef on board,
has sunk, hut expected to be raised.
The national brigs Adonia and Dispatch, and the polacre
San Juan Nepornacia, with about 30 or 40 smacks, schooners,
sloops, and lighters, of cations descriptions, engaged in the
river trade, have been drivels on shore or sunk, and many

lives lost.
The Nautilus, Tripe, was ran foul of by the Trafalgar, and
sustained considerable damage in her upper works. The
brig Peru, for London, grounded on the batik which divides
the ►aner from the outer toads, but supposed to have sus-
tained no damage. The brig Rover unshipped her rudder.
Five Government vessels of war (four brigs and a schooner)
are missing, reported to be aground up tl►e river.
In the village of Las Conchas, about 7 leagues to leeward
of this city, upwards of 50 people have been drowned in their
houses, from the overflowing of the river.
The vessels which rode out the gale all suffered the loss of
boats, anchors, &c.
The following is a list of the vessels at anchor in the inner
and outer roads :
