- .
This morning, about two o'clock, the weather cud-
denly changed from a mild foutherly wind and rain,
to a molt dreadful gale of wind from N. W. and
varying to the N. accompanied with a heavy fea.—
The feverity of the gale (till continues, and although
it is now twelve o'clock at noon, the mail is not ar-
rived : there are feveral tranfports on fhore near
China Rock, at the back of the garrifon ; we can
only learn the name of one at prefenr, the Jupiter,
Captain FULHAM, who has a fignal of diQrefs flying.
There are three others on Chore, but as no afliftance
can get to them, their names are not yet known.—
The CYIELE, SMEITHAM, has drove, and is very
near the &ore ; if her anchors hold, (he will not fuf
rain any damage. There are feveral [mall Ming
yeffels drove on there, and molt of them are greatly
damaged :—as yet we have not been able to hear if
any lives are loft, although we fear that muft be the 11
cafe, as a more fevere gale, accompanied with thkk,
[now, fo that you cannot fee a quarter of a mile to
windward, has not been known here for years.
One P. M.—One of the tranfports has drove foul
of the Spy floop of war. and carried away her fore-
matt and bowfprit ; the tranfport mutt, of consfe, be
greatly damaged ; and a brig, name as yet unknown,
has jolt drove on (bore near Mintier Cliffs.
Two o'clock P. M.—The gale trill continues ; and,
owing to the feverity of the weather, although there
are a number of people ready to affift the (hips, they
cannot aft ; the tide has ebbed very little, owing to
the northerly wind. The tranfport Wadfiray, Capt.
THOMAS JON as, is alto on (bore nearly to high water
mark, near China Rock ; and a barge laden with corn,
bound to Maidftone, is &ended ; the tranfport Re.
treat, Maar, is alto on more, but has not as yet re-
ceived any material damage, and, if the gale abates,
hopes are entertained of getting her off.
The Clopton Viftualling hoy has loft an anchor,
and the Duke William, in the fame employ, J. Pa c IC*
MAN matter, is funk, by driving foul of the Cacaos
man of war—crew Paved.
Five P. M. The gale till continues with great
violence, and from the feverity of the weather, the
poll has but jolt now arrived from London.
Ft a.l9.—The weather moderated(afteryeflerday's
gale) in the night, and the tranfports have not fuf-
tained much damages the Retreat, Aam ET, and the

Wadfiray, Joists, are the only (hips that remain on

tides are lifting, they will be got off in a day or two,
