On the 15th July, about noon, the French troops
attacked the Spanish troops in the neighbourhood of
Coruiina, and forced them to retire within the
fortifications, from which a fire was opened, and con-
tinued with some little intermission, during that and
the following day; it was stated the French lost
more than 700 men in killed and wounded. The
Spaniards state their loss to be very trifling. In thii
state of things we embarked.

MELANCHOLY SIIIPWRACE.—(From the Belfast
News Ldter.)—Extract of a letter, dated Sable Island,
June 14, and forwarded in a letter dated July 12,
to a respectable Gentleman in this town;--U This
will be unfortunate and unexpected news to you,
when I inform you of the loss of the llope, and every
thing belonging to her, which happened on the 4th
of June, acs a.m. on the N.E. side of Sable Island,
the ship being ahead of me about 25 miles, and a
strong current settinefrotts the S.E. I had the sun
the day before, and was in lat. 43. 30. Miles to the
souzhward and 90 to the eastward of the island. I
was making a west course until midnight, a light
breeze from the southward ; then it broke off, and
came on a thick fog, but very little wind. When
she struck we could not see the litfid, although but
50 fathoms from it. She beat heavy for a few hours,
until she got sunk in the sand. It was a melancholy
sight to see the confusion amongst the passeners
during this time, running about without clothes. e
put the small boat out to send some people on shore:,
but she unfortunately upset with four people in her,
and one man.passenger was drowned. We then put
out the long boat, and landed the passengers safe,
but they havegot very few clothes on shore, which I
am r.orry for. Two days after, the Marshal Wel-
lington's (Captain Ayr, of Sutherland) boats came
in with the crews she got upon the N.E. bar and
filled. I spoke the same vessel on the goth of nos
bound to Boston, and was in company with her sees-
ral days. After we found the Governors house, the
Captain proposed taking the boats and clothes thex
had saved to the house, with Mr. Foster (my cab*
passenger.) The boat unfortunately upset, and Mr,
Foster, three of my women passengers, drowned.
