It has blown esceedingly hard all the night at
.S. W. and has to-day increased almost to ahurricane,
with heavy rain. Several vessels have come in from
the Downs for shelter, three or fotir with the loss of
anchors and cables ; we shall not have an opportu-
nity of getting their names before post.—Onarter
past three, P. M. A brig, in attempting the harbour,
has missed the entrance, ansi must go ashore on the
Bathing Sand, where it is f.ared, from the violence
of the storm, she wile (if not Ito entirely to pieces)
sustain considerable damage. The Lord
packet for Ostend, was unable to get to sea Lt
night as insencled, and to night, from the present
threatening -appearance of the weather, it will be ut-
terly for to attempt it.—'our P. N. Have
just learned the brig mentioned above as having
missed the harbour, struck some '.tones which
are thrown up at the back of the East Head for the
preservation 11164, and has ,;one all to pieces. It is
feared many lives V 4 ill he lost, as several of the boat-
men hare, on the hrig's comiog near the outside of the
pkr wall, jumped on bz'afd to afford astist:tnce. All
is conlusjon and painful anxiety on the pier at this
moment. The departure of post preveliti; n y sen:Jing

known.
