preceding years..
A letter front Isla, of the 23 of October, says—
! Saturday forenoon, a smack making lur dle har-
bour of Loudense, with a sotith•cast wind, suddenly
went down, and all on board perished. enme articles
which were on deck have come ashore, and been cire-
fully preserved; but
.nothing which could give any
insight as to the vessel's name, except a piece of the
small boat's stern, on which is the name or the master.
scarcely legible, but supposed to be al.Donald Cowan."

and a galley, threatened a landing on the island of
Elba, near La Cala della Cotaccir, whe,re they put
out fifteen large boats, trying to cover the landing
by the fire of the large vessels. The soldiers of the
volunteer battalion united with the' people, who flew
to arms. They were repulsed. They afterwards
made an attempt to land near Cape St. Andrew,
where they likewise failed, and recalled their boats
by a signal. A Tunisian galliot having got ender
