COVE OF CORK, NOVEMBER 20.
The Lune French brig, prize to the Dann, ar-
here about two o'cfocic this afternoon. She is
cii; with provisions, wine and brandy, from Nantz,
bound to Cayenne : her first voyage. Before
or capture, shy had carried i
away her fore-top-
ot in a gale of wind. She sailed n. company with
Igo five vessels with similar cargoes, and a West
destination, under convoy of a corvette, and
03 had dispatches for the French Commandant,
, cayenne, which are now in possession of Ada
wiirrsiiEn. The master of the brig was par-
ajar'', directed to destroy the dispatches, in the
t of filling in with a British cruizer : he was
ed by the DRYAD'S boat, in a heavy gale,
then that service was judged extremely perilous.
O. SMITH, a Master's Mate, however, volunteered
je duty, and he fortunately effected it. The French.
uh did not believe he could be boarded, and there-
;ere neglected to destroy the dispatches. The DRYAD
was in chace of the corvette when the brig left her,
under the charge of four seamen. The brig's crew
were totted into the boat, and miraculously made the
DRYALU—On the 19th, his Majesty's ship VincisiE,
capt2lll BRACE, and the FYLI, Captain RoDNEY,
sided with a large convoy of light transports for
forianouth, and the trade for the Channel.

for,

Majesty's sloop ARG US, Captain STEWA RT,
bagged her anchors on the night of the 17th instant,
cd, notwithstanding the prompt exertions of her
Niters, gat on shore under Cork Beg, at the top of
ygh water, where she lay until four o'clock on the
;6.h, when, we are happy to say, she was got off,
and is now riding in safety in the Roads. The cause
doer getting on shore was attributed to the wind
having shifted from blowing. hurcl at S.W. to N.W.
into which point it in an instant blew as severe a gale
:so have for many remembered in this har- I
tear. The Glory gun-boat from Youghal was also I
a, shore near the Victualling Office Qtlay, but will be
got off without material injury. Many vessels got I
foul cinch other during the gale ori the 17th, the
Woor being very crowded, none ci them however
haie received such damage as to disable them from
proceeding to sea. Friday morning, about five o'clock,
we experienced one of the most severe gales ever re-
enirnbered in this city. It came on from the N.N.W.
Witk So much violence that it tore up one of the largest
trees in St. Finnbarry's Church-yard.

TRURO, NOVEMBER 26.

,On the night of the 18th instant, was stranded at
yfawgan Perth, Cornwall, the Enterprize transport,
of North Sitieids, Robert B. Davidson master, from
Caroni ; crew saved.

And on the same night, the Integrity transport,
alio of North Shields, William Corniorth master,
from Quiberon, in the violence of the gale, which
vas right on the shore, and not being able to clear
the land, after cutting away all her masts, brought
to anchor under the high Cliff, just to the Westward
of Trevose-Head ; where she rode in a most tremen-
don sea until the Sunday night following, when her
cables parted, and the ship was driven un shore, and
went immediately to pieces. But, very fortunately,
on that day (Sunday) the Speedwell cutter, Captain
Hopkiris, had previously gone out of Padstow to en-
deavour to take the crew out of the transport. in
which, with difficulty, she providentially succeeded,
and with whom she again returned to Padstow. She
also brought in with het the Papenburgh galliot Anna
'Margaretha, from Charente, in distress, bound for
Liverpool.
About two o'clock on the Monday morning was
alto wrecked, under Trevose Head, the Elizabeth,
Gill, from Waterford, with butter and bacon, bound
to Shoreham ; two of the crew drowned, and part of
the cargo saved.
About the same time was driven on shore, under
the high cliff at St. Ginnes, within the district of the
port of Padstow, a copper-bottomed ship, keel up-
wards, crew all lost. It is supposed her cargo was
al, silk, and soap. Her papers have been taken up,
rd concealed by the country people, who have hinted
that her name is the Speedy, Min T. Irman master,
from Malta hound to London.
