Novmasa 17.
The WattsPirs, of 74 guns, a fine new fhip, was
yeflerdaty Lunched from his Majelly's Dock Yard
here. The Commander of the Sweditb frigate Freya,
lying here, was paid the compliment of naming her,
with the ufual form of throwing a bottle of wine at
her bows. The manner in which this (hip is braced,
by placing the lower riders on a principle perfeCtly
new, will doubtlefs ?endow her one of the lirongefl
fhips in the Britt& navy.
This day another 74 gun (hip, called the Azov.
cm, built at Mr. BAINDLEY'S Dock Yard, was to
have been launched, but, owing to fomething giving
way, the fhip unfortunately hung before The got off
the flip, and the now lies in a dangerous fituation ;
every thing is doing to prevent her being injured as
the tide falls, and I hope the may begot offbeat tide,
or the lots will be very heavy upon the contraftor,
as Government do not' ake poffelfron until the fhip is
well afloat.

The hurricane that has raged for tome days palt
along the Dutch craft, has done confiderable damage.
Among the veffels that have been its viCtims, is the

Department, who immediately difpatcbed Come
