PLYMOUTH, OCTOBER 29.

From the circumflance of two bodies of foreign
feamen being wafired on fhore at Bilhury Bay, and
feveral pieces of wreck, it is feared that many wreck:
have taken place on that fatal coaft during the late
heavy gales of wind in the Channel.
The hurricane of fall Friday was fo tremendous,
and came in Inch fudden fqualls and flits of wind,
that many perfons were carried off their legs. A
sentinel juft relieved in the Dock-yard, near the open
dyke of the new malt pond, about three A. M. was
literally blown off with his great coat and mulket
into the Tamar, and was drowned before any perfon
or boat could go to his affiliance, as the tide ran
twelve knots an hour. By direCtions and orders of
his Royal Higknefs the Palace of WALES, Lord
High Steward, by Patent, of Plymouth, and Leffor
and Impropriate Receiver of all the Dues of Sutton-
pool harbour in this port, Colonel TYRRIVHITT, his
Royal Highnefs's Secretary, is going to begin a new
arrangement for the improvement of that part of the
harbour of Plymouth, which is to be deepened and
made wider, and if pollible, as there arc great capa-
bilities for the purpore., made a floating dock, of great
width, capable of containing at all times of tide, fe-
veral hundred fail of merchant (hips, free from every
apprehenfion of Itorms or tempefts ; particularly as
there were two Prong piers built in 1788, by Parlia
mentary grants at the very entrance of Sutton Pool,
which, by means of flooding gates, might for ever
make Plymouth a perpetual wet dock, and be a Comet
of immenfe profit and wealth to the trading and mer-
cantile interefls of the town.
The Forelt of Dartmore, under the direCtion of
Colonel TYRWHITT, by the Prince of WALES'S or-
ders, is rapidly improving, feveral thoufands of acres
are grubbed up for planting, and on whore bleak and
comfortlefs bogs and mountains, now only the objet
of fhivering paffengers, will limn arife neat habitable
dwellings, fit for farmers and cottagers ; and many
acres of barren heath will be converted into as many
acres of oats, barley, bare, and wheat, for the benefit
of fociety. His Royal Highnefs has had this bufinefs
in contemplation Tome years, and is now determined
to have it cat tied into excution without delay.
Laft Saturday, on account of the receiving the
Ilereide, of 36 guns, into Lord Boringdon's New
Dock, Townchapel, to be repaired by the Matter
Budder, Mr. BLACK AURN. lrfree to his Lordfhip, in
one of the lofts, gave a good fubtlantial (upper of,beef,

SPILLER, the foreman, and 73 ihipwriglits and arti-

ficers of the yard there.

lberality on the occafion. •

Letters from Wilna, in the Paris papers, fine, that
a great number of Poles of dillintlion travelled thi-
ther to pay their refpetts to the Emperor of Ruffia.
His Imperial Majelly, while he remained at Wilna,
chewed himfelf little in public. Several Autlrian
Couriers arrived there with difpatches, which gave
rife to fever2l conferences between the Emperor and
his Micider, Prince CZARTOitINSKI. It was at Wilna
that the Emperor received from the Pruflian Major
H•11?:2, a letter from the King of Pruffia, written
with his own hand, and which his Imperial Majefly
anfwered in the fame manner, and fent Prince
DeL-
nave t, one of his Aida dc.CaLops, to deliver his
letter at &dia.
