MONTROSE, DECEMBER le.

We have had a dreadful storm. The Susan of
Sunderland, was drove on shore four miles to the
northward of Montrose, the crew saved, the vessel has
since gone to pieces ; the crew stated, that the day
before they were drove ashore, when passing the Bell-
Rock, the Captain, whose name was GORDON, leapt
overboard. A brig belonging to Aberdeen, coal.
loaded, is also ashore a little further north, crew saved.
The sloop Providence of this place, coal loaded, is
ashore near Stonehaven ; crew saved. The Countess
of Cardigan, of London, in ballast, is on shore at
John's-haven, crew saved ; expected to be got off.
I fear bad news must come to many one. The whole
coast is strewed with wreck. The Eagle of this port,
for London, loaded with bale goods, valued at
£lO,OOO, sailed the night before the storm. There
were many passengers on board ; and great appre-
hension prevails for her safety.
