DOVER, FEBRUARY 13.
A number of lhil s came nut of the Downs yet.-
terday morning, with a fine brc ze from the North-
ward, which continued but for a few hours, and the
(hips were obliged to put back by i:s getting round
tiorn the S.W. and blowing very hard, with heavy
(b rivers of rain, which lalleel till five this morning;,
when it a: ain changed, and has blown violently from
the N N.E. with incelfant fnow all the day. The
latter cleered away a little about four o'clock this
afternoon, and prefented us with a melancholy fight :
a large (hip fonk about two miles off the town, aitn
her Lore topmait and topfail yard only above water,
her main and mizen malts are fl ,sting along-file of
her. It is fuppoled that the ;:as Lal on (bore,
either on the Goodwin Sands or on the r-chs off the
South Foreland, and drifted off to tire glace where
the now lies. What has become et* her poor unfor-
tunate crew, nothing of courfe can b. known : one
of cur boats has ventured off to render affetance in
cafe any fhould be on the malls, but none can be
fern through a glafs. A collier is tiding about two
miles to leeward of the harbour, with her' fails all
blown to pieces, and it is feared a great deal of
damage has been done in the D rwns. A large &p,
apparently. an American, paffed dole by the hat bonr
about eight o'clock this morning. with the wreck of
her mizen mall over her ttern.—l am pal informed
that a rudder belonging to a large !hip has been
picked up between this and St. Margaret's, which
probably belongs to the above !hip.—Wind
and blows excefEve hard.

Sailed the COCRATRICE armed brig, hiving under
convoy the Deptford and Difoatch navy trarfp ntr,
Findon hired (loop, City of London, Barilg, Metcalf,
and Ltd Duncan EAR India (hips, for Postinsouth.
This morning, about five o'clock, a very violent gale
came on from N. and N. N. E. with a vet y thick fall
of fnow, which has continued ever Grace with little
fo that I cannot late usith precifion the
occurrences in the Downs. Several vtffels have parted
and cut their cables, and gone to leeward. The (hip
Magnet, WATSOK, Matter, from London, for Cork
and the Welt Indies, with a cargo of leather, furni-
ture and herrings, &c. run on thole about !even o'clock
this morning, near Deal Cagle : her fore top malt,
main, and mizen;mafts are gone, and the (hip bilged.
Seven other yeah of different defcriptions are on
(bore between the above place and the South Fore-
land, all of which, it is feared, will next flood tide go
to pieces. The particulars refpe&ing them, we arc
not able to learn this poll. Three veffels are dif-
matted, and a brig has loft her fore mall, bowfprit,
&c. A deal more damage is feared lobe done, which
cannot be perceived at prefen', owing to the fnow.
