GREENOCK, JANUARY Is.

On 'Tuesday morning, the Margaret, MalisTvrtz
master, from Londonderry for the Clyde, was driven
on the rocks twelve miles to the southward of Ayr,
and all the passengers and crew lost, except the mate
and one sailor. The vessel afterwards drifted over
the rocks, and it was expected the cargo would be
saved.—A letter from Elsineur, dated December 21.,
has been received, which gives a favourable account
of the navigation at the entrance of the Baltic, at this
critical season, when a few hours of severity might
put an end tit all ingress and egress. It is stated that
the wind had taken a favourable turn, so that the ships
were at length able to get out of the harbour, and
proceed to the places of their destination. Those to
the West had the convey of the euttainuta and NIGHT-
INGALE, and those to the Wore that of the BEAVER.
The %%rather was very mild for the period of the year.
• We hear that no hopes remain of the safety of the
FLORIDA, of 20 guns, Captain NATHANIEL MITCHELL,
and PEACOCK, of 18 guns, Captain RICHARD COOTE ;
the former was sent, some months since, with a con-
voy, from Bermuda to the West Indies...the hitter
was under cruising orders. Neither has been heard
of, and the conclusion is they must have foundered
with their crew. They were captured vessels pur-
chased into the service, admirably built for swift
sail-
ing; but to novices in the management of such con-
structed ships, always considered very dangerous in
heavy seas.—Arrived the Fielding, MlLacricatr,
at Lochryan, from Miramichi ; and, from the Clyde,
the Jane, —, and Mary, HOLMES, at Guadeloupe ;
the Alfred, LANG, at St. Thomas's; the Francis Ann,
LaGGIT, at l'ictou ; and Belleisle, Tout), at Berbice.
