FRENCH PAPERS.

AMSTERDAM, FEB. 2.

We have received fresh accounts relative to the
running ashore of the English frigate which was lately
lost on these coasts ; she was called the Manilla. As
it was not possible to get the ship afloat, she was
set on fire.

All the world knows, that in the moment of dan-
ger English sailors have no other resource than that
of flying to liquor which may be on board. At the
instant the vessel was set on fire, the French detach-
ment sent to execute this opetation found, in the hold
five sailors dead drunk.

The officers of this frigate declare that she was lost
in consequence of the orders she received to closely
and unremittingly watch the Texel fleet, the sailing
of which, it appears, is expected in England. Twelve
men perished on board the frigate in consequence of
an explosion. She had been sent to the Texel to
ascertain the fate of the Hero and Grasshopper.

LETTERS FROM ADMIRAL DE WINTER TO THE MINISTER

OF TILE MARINE AND THE COLONIES.

" 'feu], January :30.
g 1 Monseigneur-1 have the honour of reporting to
your Excellency, that on the 28th instant, at nine in
the evening, we from time to time heard the reports
of cannon, accompanied by rockets.
44 These signals of distress determined the Com-
manding Officer to send immediately fishing boats,
and boats belonging to the squadron, to tender as-
sistance • but the violence of the sea upon the bank,
occasioned by a strong gale from E.S.E. forced them
to return at three in the morning.
4, As day broke, a large three-masted vessel upon
the Haak was perceived continuing to make signals
of distress. All the fishing-boats and boats belong-
ing to the squadron set out at day-light, and, as the
weather has become more favour*ble, it is hoped the
crew will be saved. Half an hour atter day-break
the vessel lost her mast. As the tide is favourable
for going out of the road, the succours will no doubt'
arrive in time.

" It is supposed this vessel is a frigate, undoubt-
edly the one which all this month has appeared with
one or two brigs off this coast.
" The departure of the courier prevents me giving
more ample details. 'I shall have the honour of trans.
pitting them to your Excellency as soon as I receive
them."
