JANUARY B.—The PEACOCK, Captain PEAKE, which
arrived here yesterday, came from Lisbon, and was
ten days on her passage ; consequently brings no
news of a later date than what has been already re.
ceived.

It has blown a tremendous gale ever since four
o'clock this morning ; it is now (five P. M.) rather
abated, but there is a very heavy swell and surf in
the Sound.

About two this afternoon, the DIANA frigate, Cap-
tain GRANT, broke from her moorings in frigate,
and drifted close on the rocks at Devil's' Point ; guns
were immediately fired by the DIANA, and signals for
a 'hin in distress were hoisted on board the SALVADOR
DEL MUSD° ; and notwithstanding the heavy sea, a
number of boats put off to her assistance, and by
their exertions she was happily brought up without
receiving any material damage, and anchored near
half a mile from the shore. Two brigs also drifted
close to a ledge of rocks off Drake's Island, but were
fortunately brought to before they struck.
An ordnance transport sailed this afternoon,during
the gale, with st,ores, for Torbay.
