LOSS OF THE JAMES AND REBECCA TRANSPORT.

IFURTIIEII PARTICULAR•.

Truro, November ti.

About eleven o'clock in the night of the 6th intl.
the James and Rebecca tranfoort, ROCHESTER matter,
from Buenos Ayres, with a iquadron of the gth Light
Dragoons on board ,not knowing where tDey were,from
a miflake in their reckoning, and it being very dark,
ran plump ashore upon the rocko, under the high
cliff called Halzefon, in the eaflern part of the
Mount's bay, about three leagues N. W. of the Li.
zard. Her fignal guns of diftrefs brought a great
number of people down to the (bore. A boat with
fix men attempting to reach the Chore was upfet, and
five of the fix drowned. A buoy being then floated
on (bore with a rope, enabled the country people to
draw the end of a bawler on (bore, which they (ali-
ened round a rock, while the people on board fallen•
ed the other end to the mizen top. A noofe (celled
by feamen a traveller) war then fafiened round the
hawfer like a loofe collar, with flings affixed to it,
by which a great many perfms were fafely drawn on
(hot e. But, at eleven o'clock next morning, the
vefTcl went to pieces with the violence of the waves,
and about tto men, women, and children, who Hill
remained on board, were plunged into the lea, which
raged with the greateft violence. At this awful cats,
every exertion was made by the people on Chore, at
the imminent rill; of their own lives, to fave the un-
fortunate fufferers, and far the greater part of them
were laved, though many with fevere bruizes ; being
npor. the rctcks by the violence of the waves.
But it is painful to add, that 28 dragoons, to failors,
and three children perifhed. Their corpfes, whici.
were collected In heaps as the lea vrafhed them on
(ore,prefented a dreadful fpeftacle. All the oflicers
viz. Captains; RavnsoamE and SAVAGE, Lieutenants
HENLT and HORSBOROUGH. and Mr. JoaDAN, fur-
geon) were faved, as were alio Mrs. Joabart, and
Mrs. LANDER, widow of an officer who fell at Buenos
Ayres, with feven other females, being all that were
on board, and fix children. The inhabitants of
Hellion and its neighbourhood have done themfelves
infinite credit, by the relief of every kind which they
have given to the unfortunate fufferers: and the la-
dies and officers will ever remember the delicate at-
tention (hewn them by the amiable family at Penrofe,
who generoufly feat their own carriage to fetch the
ladies from the wreck, and whole hofpitable manfion
has afforded them the kindest confolation and pro-
tation. The foldiers are billeted at Hellion, where
they wait for further orders. The number of per.
Cotes on board when the veffel ftruck, was nearly
zoo, mofily natives sf Ireland.

The foll3wing is a more authentic ace:mint of the
late attack made on the Lnrd Eldon Indiaman than
that 6r( ptibliihed
" On Thurfday the Strenuous gun 'errel brought into Ponf-
mouth a boat belonging to Ia C)-rte, French nalonal corvette,
with a Mi.!filipman and ten men in her. it appears tkat la Cygne
early or. Mnrday morning Lift, fell in with the Lord Eldon, home-
ward botnd itatt Indianian, at the back of the !fie of Wight, and
lire began to fire nthrquetry into her. La Cygne foon atter fell
1 on board the Locd Eldon, when Pierre Growler, a midthipmans
and the boatfwain of la Cygne, jumped on board. the Eldon. The
veffels at this moment cleared tech other. The rrenchmen found
only one man on the deck of the Eldon, and he ran and hid him.
I (elf. The boatfwain took pofferTion of the wheel, and the mld.
I:lir/tan got on the poop of the Eldon. Shortly fume of the mea
of the Eldon ruched upon deck, and wounded the midthipman In
the thigh; when he jumped overboard, and was picked up by la
Cygne 's boat, which was at this time corning to affift them. Eu
the Ardent appearing In fight, la Lygne ftretched towards Cher-
bourg, and left the boat to her fate. She followed the corvette
till the Stvrionus met with her, in a gale The boatfwain of the
corvette was kiilcd on hoard the Lord Eldon. This account is
much at variance with the fame tranfaCtion as related in the Lon-
don papers but we hare no doubt of the truth of there clredm-
ftai.ces. We have been told that the Lord Eldon had not a car-
tridge filled when Ia Cygne fell in with hcr, and the vents o( the
guns were obli.:ed to he forced with gimblets. 'the Fitenehmen
obtaining fo cafy poffellion of the Eldon's deck, is explained by the
crew fufpedting the corvette was an Englifb Chip of war, whole in-
tention was to imprers them, and they had all gore below. If the
Ardent had not hove in fight, there is too much reafon to appre-
bend that the Cygne would have made a prize of the Eldon. La
Cygne was formerly the Swan revenue c0m1.."
. 80-NESS, NOVEMBER tz.

The herring fifhery has commericed oppoine to this
place, with boats belonging to the town, which are
getting from two to five barrels each. The herrings
are of an excellent quality, fuppofed to be little in-
ferior to thole caught in the Highland lochs.-Ihis
flitting ought to engage the attention of the Welt
India merchants, fince the importation of herrings
frosm Gottenhnrgh, permitted by a late aet of Parlia-
ment, has failed, that fpecies of food being of much
importance to them.

Thurfday, a telpire paled through Glafg,ow for
Peter Millong,ll. who was fentenced to be hanged
the next day at Inverary, for the murder of his wife.
Thurfd-ty fe'nnight a fire broke not in the liable
of Mr. SHARP, at lt.orcf,mbe, which dearoyed the
fame, with a quantity of harnefs. Three horfes were
with great difficulty Caved, being much tinged. By
the exactions principal)! of Mr. SHARP'S fervants, the
filmes were confined to the liable, and prevented
from communicating to a barn and three wheat ricks,
a few yards only diftant. The prerhifes were infured.
The accident was cccafioned by dropping the fnuff
of a candle in the hay lift.
Yetteiday afternoon, three fellows went into the
White Honk public houfe, in Warwick lane, and
perceiving the landlord out of the bar, they took from
it the tilt, which contained a confiderable fum of
money, and endeavoured to efcape. They were,
however, obferved to run down the yard of the Ox.
ford Arms inn; and after a lid& fearch, were difco.
vered in the paffage of a houfe there. One of them
immediately advanced flourifhing a wine bottle,
threatening deatutlion to any pet fon who ap.
proached him ; but they were, after great refi fiance,
(scared, and conveyed to Le Compter.
