FURTHFAt PARTICULARS OF TIIE LOSS OF HIS

Official accounts were received on Saturday at the .Admiralty
of the loss of his Majesty's sloop Reeettoese, Captain Svcs.
meta, in attempting to enter the harbour of Doosi 3,, Is., of
Man, on the night of the t 4th instant.. The followiug letter su
the subject will be found net resting :
" This vessel had been ordered fracas the Plymouth st..tion to
the Isle of Man, as convoy for the Vigilant cutter, Lictit. ULAN,
which had been disabled in a heavy gale in Douglas Bay, on the
6th October, and obliged to cut away her mast and throw 11:r
gist's overboard ; fshe was with much difficulty brought into
harbour there, aud, after having mid( rgone a temporary rep .ir,
was to have proceeded to Plymouth under convoy,:is above ste,-.%
The Racehorse left Milford Haven early an Saturday morni..
the 14th inst. After taking a pilot on board she proceeded for !:.
destination. They made the island between two and three r...
but the weather being thick and the night pitchy dark, the •
is supposed, on nearing the shore, mistook the Bay of Castkt.,
which is very capacious, for that of Douglas ; and, about hap.
five,when the land was descried close to them, in attempting t.
enter the bay, the vessel struck upon Latigness Point, which
surrounded by tremendous and almost perpendicular rocks. All
hopes of saving her was at once giVin up, as she tilled instantly,
and the pumps became totally useless. Guns of distress, wish
rockets, false fires, and other signals were made fur assistance
front ihore ; but the wind blowing directly into the hay :led
being rather fresh, two boats.only could he procured, that would
venture out to their assistance, which they did with latitherns
in their bows; and many of the inhabitants rushed from the
town, in a most dismal night, to the Head, which is full three
miles from it, and over the greatest part very dangerous, front
the rocks and broken ground to be p;:ssed—and this in the hop..
of being useful to the unfortunate sufferers. At the time ae
struck, the Captain and Senior Lieutenant w..re both oid deck,
and it appears that no fault whatever can be attributed to the
Officers un this melancholy occa,ion.
" It now became necessary to save the lives of the crew; and
such was the excellent discipline on board the ship, that nut a
man attempted to quit her without orders. We understand th..t
the Captain hail the roll called of the crew, and on each man's
name being called over, lie stepped into the boar, when an °ri-
cer was named to descend and.take charge of it, and to land if
possible among the rocks, of which there appeared but little
hopes, as the sea was beating over them with great violence:—
Happily fur all but the last boat this difficulty was completely
overcome, as by this time fires were made with straw in ditier-
ent directions near the wreck, where there was any !lei:es .3f
their landing in security.
" The Captain, First Lieutenant, and a Master's Mate (Mr.
Bow:), came by the last boat, which, unfortunately. was rather
crowded, and consisted of seventeen persons, Captain Sur e.
LING being the last man who quitted the ship. When at some
distance from the rocks the boat unfotttmately upset, by which
all were left to shift for themselves. The Captain; being a good
swimmer, was saved with much difficulty; as were the Litste-
nant, some of the sailors, and some of the boat's crew ; but
Mr. Box:, the fisherman who commanded the boat (which was
one that went out to their assistance), five of the crew of the
Racehorse, and two men belonging to the boat, were unfortu-
nately drowned, making a total of nine persons who perished
on this melancholy occasion; and, when all circumstances arc
considered, it is wonderful that no more lives were lost.
" By this sudden catastrophe the Officers have lost everything
but what they had on their backs ; yet the object that creates
commiseration is the widow of the fisherman who commanded
the boat, and so gallantly lost his life on the occasion ; she had
just been delivered of her eighth child, and has, by these means,
been deprived of all her hopes in this life, which depended
solely on het husband's exertions: it is not however doubted
but that Government will handsomely provide for her—it is the
'least recompence she can expect.
" So persevering had this poor fellow been in his endeavours
to extricate the crew of the Racehorse, that he actually had made
four previous attempts to reach the vessel—had succeeded in
each, and landed his ship-wrecked fellows ! but in making the
11th and last trip, when his every object and hope was on the
eve of being realized, he fell a sacrifice to his humanityl—Peace
be to his manes!—and may the family be rescued front the mi-
sery which at present stares them in the face. A temporary
subscription is raising for them. This is, however, but a trifling
Using, but we understand it is the intention of the Heads of Go-
vernment here to lay their case before the ruling Powers at home.
—The fate of Mr. Bose is much lamented and regretted by his
Captain, the Officers, his messmates, and the crew—lie was be-
loved by all, is stated to have been an excellent seaman, ard
load passed his examination for a Lieutenant. On the upsettin;
of the boat, he had caught hold of an oar, by which lie supported
himself, and at this period two of the crew had hold of him ; tea:
finding it Impossible to support them, and being nearly exliathual
by their weight, he gave up the oar to them, trusting to the vain
hope of saving himself by his own exertions. The men were
both saved, but he poor fellow was seen no more, having tut.:
probably been dashed to pieces amongst the rocks.
" It has been ascertained that most of the bodies of the un-
fortunate sufferers have been recovered from the watery deer.—
Those of Mr. Boar, and the fisherman (Quaver) during the
course of the day, and four or five of the seamen since. The
former is to be conveyed to Malew church, and his remains will
be attended to the place of interment by the whok
brother Officers, &c. &c."

French Papers and private letteri'from Paris, of
Saturday, have been received, but they contain no in-
teltigence of importance. The French Funds had
improved on Friday and Saturday ; and the rumours
of the preceding day had subsided. .
The last French Papers bring no intelligence of
importance. The Ultras are continually exciting
alarms of a warlike nature ; but these meet with a very
satisfactory refutation in the Journal des Debnis, as
will be seen by the extract we have made (torn that
Paper in a preceding column. The fluctuations in
the French funds are attributable to these rumours,
which are exaggerated for the purpose of stock-
jobbing.

Dutch Papers to the '22d instant reached us this
Forenoon. The following are extracts:

VIENNA, DECEMBER 7.

His Majesty the Emperor has at length acceded to
the request of his brother, the Archduke Rainer, to
permit him to retire from the office of Viceroy.of the
kingdom of Lombardy and Venice. It is said, that
the Archduke Francis Charles, the Emperor's second
son, will be invested with the dignity of Viceroy of
the Austrian possessions in Italy, and in this quality
his Royal Highness will have the supreme direction
both of the civil and military affairs of these provinces.
But as the young Prince is not much versed in the
affairs of Government, he is to be assisted by Field-
Marshal Count Bellegarde, President of the Council
of War, who will reside with him at Milan. The
Archduke Rainer will take on Lim the administra-
tion of the affairs of the Empire during the absence
of the Emperor. The Archduke Lewis, another
brother of the Emperor's, who is now intrusted with
the affairs of the Administration, is to have the chief
direction of the Council of War. These changes are
to be carried into effect in the month of January next.

It is positively affirmed that the King of Naples
'will soon arrive here, and fix his residence at HOzen-
doff, near Schoenbrunn.

It was currently reported at Paris last Thursday
night, in the best informed circles, that the Duke of

Earl MULGRAVE resigned his seat in the Cabinet a
long time since, although his name appears among
the list of Cabinet Ministers. When the Noble Earl
resigned his office as Master-General of the Ordnance,
in which he was succeeded by the Duke of WELLING•
TON, he retained his seat in the Cabinet, and attended
Cabinet and Privy Councils the same as when in
office, till prevented by illness and infirmities. How-
ever, the official notices and boxes with dispatches
continued to be sent to him till about twelve months
since, when the Noble Earl resigned his seat in the
Cabinet, on account of his increased illness and in-

Yesterday morning at eight o'clock, according to
annual custom, a large quantity of bread and cheese:
cut into square pieces, was carried out in baskets,
and thrown among the crowd assembled in front of
Paddington Church ; the custom until within the lact
two years was to throw it from the belfry, but owivg
to the confusion and disorder occasioned by
mode, the present one has been substituted. The 115'
semblage of persons collected there yesterday w. 14
immense. This custom of giving bread and c11,..e,e
at Paddington -Church en the Sunday rico:Jill:4
Christmas-day, is said to have had its origin in t!!.:
will of two sisters (paupers), who, travelling to Lon-
don to claim an estate, in which they succeeded, aal
being much distressed; were first relieved at l'alding-
,tou on that day.

Saturday evening, notwithstanding the intense cold,
Drury-Lane and Covent-Garden Theatres were well
attended : the new Opera, at the former, gained upon
repetition ; and Maid Marian, with Mr. C. KZUBLIeti
fine acting and Miss M. Taaa'a singing, at the latter,
furnished a high treat to the auditors.
