On tht tight of the 23d ult. this weird, on her pafiagc oat from
Greenock to Liverpool, was unfortunately wrecked upon .he
rocks about a mile and a half to the fouth of the Point of Com-
l.& The news of the accident reached Greenock on Thori-
day fennight ; and next morning a perfon of uncommon sal-
vity, great knowledge and experience in Lafaring matters, was
difpatched to do every thing poMble in the way of recovering
fhip and cargo; but by letters fence received, there is too good
reafon to fear that no exertion could eircdt this. The veffel wil
be totally loft ; and when thefe letters came away only thine. n
bags of cotton on board had been drove on (here. and no per-
fon able to get on board of her. The crew and piffengcrs are
faired. It is very remarkable, that this Is the only accident or
the kind which has happened the Liverpool Traders of the tom.

Capt. B. MAGEE, of Bolton, failed for the North
Well Coati of America, for the purport of traffick-
ing for furs, &c. Being delirous of wintering on
the coati, he proceeded with his flip to the Cove,
where the Hazard had paired the preceding winter,
and was received by the natives with much appa-
rent friendfhip. The crew of the Hazard, how-
ever, had had a quarrel with thefe people, woo
were refolved to take revenge on the firlt of their
countrymen who might fall into their power.—
Capt. MAGEB, unfurpeeting treachery, went on
chore, attended by a boy and the carpenter, to in-
fix& the repairs of a boat, and immediately on his
landing he was furrounded and Ihot by the natives;
they wounded the carpenter, and nabbed the boy
in three places. On the report of fire arms, a boat
put off from the flip, and fucceeded in bringing
away the dead bodies and the carpenter ; but the
Ihore was fhortly crowded with hoilile natives, who
commenced a heavy tire of mufketry, by which'
one man on board the flip was killed, and another
wounded. The approach of night favoured the
exertions of the crew ; they got under way, an 4
effaced their efcape.

An erprefs was received at Lifbon on the a ill
ult. by the American Conful, from Gibraltar,
with intelligence of peace having been retiored be-
tween the Emperor of MOROCCO and the Ameri-
cans.
