THE ALBION PACKET.

The following particulars relative to the loss of this vessel,
which excited at the time so much sympathy, were communi-
cated by Mr. EVERHART, the only surviving cabin passenger, on
his return to Philadelphia. This narrative establishes the eict
that General Canavan Daseonarres was one of the siiffet ers:
" When the ship was thrown on her beam ends, a prodigious
destruction took place below ; the doors of the state rooms, tile
tables bound with iron, the furniture. were all destroyed and
thrown into heaps. Many of the passengers were severely injured.
General Lefebvre Deenouettes had one of his arms broken—
Colonel Prevost was wounded in the face. She coon righted, and
the water which was shipped in the cabin was let below, so that tbg
passengers, until nearly three in the morning,were as comfortable
as they could be under these distressing circumstances. Froua
the time of her shipping the first sea, at eight o'clock, until nearly
three in the morning, Capt. \Villiams concealed their imminent
danger from the passengers, consoling them with the !ille el
relief at daylight, and of the winds coming off the shore. They
were thus saved much anxiety and distress fur the five hours
preceding the total destruction of the ship.
" At about ten minutes before three, the Captain perceiving
the ship to be embayed and near the breakers, communiraced the
intelligence, and ordered every one on board forward, wilich
Mr. Everhart considers was the most prudent thiug that co
be done. Mr. Everhart, from extreme weekness, un-; the lass
up the companion, crawling on his hands and knees. At the top
be found Madame Gamier and her child in great distress! Le
assisted her as well as he could across the lumber on the
forward. The ship struck on two or three rocks before she cane
to the reef where she lost her bottom ; and her decks, bare:,
hanging together, were floated inside the reef, immense swells
covering all the passengers from time to time. About an hots
after she crossed the reef, the swells increased in bulk and fre-
quency. Amongst the last persons he saw alive at this time was
young Mr. Hyde Clarke, holding his wife; and at this retied
the swells entirely covered the forecastle, arid drowned all who
were there. Colonel Prevost, by great exertions, reached the
rock which Mr. Everhart had gained, but was washed off. Mr.
Everhart had. barely room to stand on one foot. It was a rock
that jutted out from the main land. Mr. and Mrs. Clerke's
bodies were found and interred, and many of the pas.clgen
some weeks after were washed ashore, so much niutilated that
it was impossible to recognize them. The sailers at an eat:y
period were in a state of insubordination; many would not oley
orders, and got drunk."

The Hampshire Telegraph of Saturday says:
" It being found that affair: of considerable State inipo:tarte
will prevent his I%bia awry leaving town again so soon as be
wished, to avoid the approaching Equinoxes, the ships that rcr
posed the Royal Squadron have been ordered to resume t!i2ir
respective stations, and the novas. GEOICGE yacht to proceed from
Greenwich to Portsmouth, to be laid up for the sqaion."

Navy, accompanied by Sir IL SEPPINGS, Commis-
sioner OwEN, and E. KNOWLIS, Esq. Secretary, ar-
rived at Plymouth Dock on Thursday se'nnight, oa
