Admiralty to send out cruizers for their protection.—
The following is a copy of the answer returned :

The English brig Wainol, Captain MORGAN, took
the ground close to the mouth of the port of Havle,
during a storm on the '26th ult. Humane attempts
were made from the shore to save the lives of the
crew, but the weather being so tempestuous, they
proved for some time fruitless, and two persons lost
their lives in the endeavour, having been driven on
the beach by a heavy surge. At last ropes having
been thrown to the vessel, the Captain and three of
the crew got to land, but the remaining two were
drowned in the attempt. The ship and cargo were
ultimately saved. The English at Havre made a
subscription for the families of the two Frenchmen
who perished, and for four American sailors who had
greatly exerted themselves on the occasion.
