SuirwaeCx AT BALIIIIIIO6IAIL—In a letter received from Balbrig-

served endeavouring to make the quay ; but having taken a wrong
course, it was thrown on the rocks, and instantly covered with the
waves, while the unhappy crew were seen clinging to the mast, and
• every moment expecting to be washed overboard. In this state
they continued for two hours, when Mr. Haatwron, of that town,
offered fifty pounds to any persons who would save them. The
life-boat and twenty men immediately went out, and with much
danger reached the vessel slid saved the crew. They had scarcely
left her when she turned bottom upwards. They whole shore is
covered with pieces of the wreak. Her name is the Britannia, of
Bridgewater.—Another vessel was wrecked at Skerries. The crew
were saved.

GIBRALTAR, OCTOBER 6.—Sir WILLIAM ATOURT.
Ambassador to the Court of Spain, left this garrison
yesterday, under a salute, fur San Liar, on his way to
Seville, on board his Majesty's ship TRIBUNE.
Letters from Petersburgh, of the Bth instant, men-
tion the discovery of a considerable quantity of gold-
dust in the• bed of one of the rivers of Siberia, which
had been dried •sp during the continued drought of last
summer. Specimens had been sent to Petersburgh,
which were found to be of excellent quality.
The Spanish Mail yesterday brought letters from Ca-
diz of the 7th instant, which state that Anaueuzs
quitted that city on the 30th ultimo, the day before tke
KING. He was accompanied by several other Members
of the Cortes ; and since the 30th, the emigrations had
been very numerous by every opportunity that pre.:
sented itself. It WAS understood among the merchants
at Cadiz, that the Tariff of 1819, which had been su-
perseded by the prohibitions of the Cottes, will be re-
vived and brought into operation almost immediately.
Mr. HORNEMAN, recently appointed Agent of his Da-
nish Majesty in London, is the Gentleman who, duriyg
the whole of. the last war with Denmark, acted as his
Danish Majesty's Agent for the numerous Danish pri-
soners then detained in this country. He was subse-
quently Danish Consul-General in London, and was also
agent for the unfortunate Islands of Iceland and the,
Fames, whose inhabitants, through the interference of
the late Sir ;JOSEPH BANKS, were allowed, under the pro.
tection of licenses, to be supplied with the necessaries
and comforts of life. Prince CHRISTIAN of Denmark,
when in Norway, chose him his Agent, and M. ROSEN•
ICRANTR, the Minister for Foreign Affairs to his Danish
Majesty, addressed himself to Mr, Hoes/Emits/ on every
occasion, and, gave hint almost the impoitance of a
diplomatic agent. Such numerous services without any
salary could not pass unnoticed, and have now found a
more substantial reward.
Some pretty violent shocks of an earthquake have
been felt at Scala Nuova, in Natolia, where some houses
were overthrown, and some persons wounded.
Duets—At anearly hour. yesterday morning a meet-
ing took place in a field near Turnham Green, between
J— T—, Esq. of New York, and H
Esq. late of the King's German Legion ; the former at-
tended by •W—, Esq. the latter by 'a Naval
Officer. It was agreed to fire by signal. The first shot
was discharged without effect ; but on the second fire
Mr. M.'s ball struck his antagonist's chin, slightly
wounding the flesh. The seconds then interfered ; but
Mr. T. demanded another pistol in such terms as ad-
mitted of no refusal. The demand was therefore com-
plied with, and he was once more slightly wounded,
after which an adjustment was with difficulty effected.
It is said that the quarrel originated at a tavern the
preceding evening, in consequence of a political discus-
sion, in which Mr. T. conceived that some insinuations
were thrown out by Mr. M. reflecting on the courage of
the American nation.
It is stated in a Bristol Paper, on the authority of a
letter from Derearara of the 6th tilt. that the ramifica-
tions of the late insurrection were deeply laid and most
extensive—that the discovery was highly providential
,and opportune—only four hours before the signal would
have been given (twelve o'clock at night) 'for.-massa-
creing the white population. Two hundred persons still
remain for trial—eight or ten have been hung—and 13
are under sentence of death, Smith, a preacher, is de-
cidedly proved by every negro examined, to have been
the .prime mover and planner of the 'whole; he is in
custody, and is to taker his trial.
A quarrel took place at Peel, in the Isle of Man, on
Saturday se'nnight, between some Irish and a party of
Manksmen. A gener‘al affray ensued, in which all
manner of destructive' weapons were employed which,
could be procured. Many severe wounds were inflicted
OR both sides. One Manksman made several blows 'with
a cutlass at an Irishman, who wrested it fioin Mini, and
cut off his ear and part of his cheek. It elided, however,
in the seizure 'of nine Irishmen. William NVCliain,
an
Irishman, who some time ago rescued nine perUnis from
death, when sriinack sunk; was killed.
