DEAL, JANUARY 29.

Several Grandees, and other Spaniards of dis.
tinction, have landed at Plymouth during last week
from Corunna and Vigo: some of them have brought
over considerable quant►ties of specie—dollars, and '
doubloons are very plentiful there.
Admiral MONTAGUE is said to have proposed to Go-
vernment to fit out all the Danish ships of war as
transports, offering to restore them to their original
state, after they had been thus employed, at a trifling
expence : but his proposition was declined.
Serious apprehensions are entertained for the fate of
the Superb, Admiral KEATs, and of the two frigates,
which are locked up by the ice in the Cattegate► The
tremendous islands of ice, which obstruct the naviga-
tion in the Baltic, are carried by the wind and ode
with such an irresistible velocity, that they cut the
strongest ship to pieces in a few minutes. Dreadful
is the situation of 2000 of our 'gallant seamen, who
`have no means of safety against the force of these
I merciless elements.

Master of a transport, arrived from Quiberon, to his!
Owner, dated the 23d instant Sir, I have just'
time to say we are arrived on the Mother Bank, this j
day frOm Quiberon, with the locc of both anchors
and cables, windlass broke, and other damage, which
happened in a most dreadful gale of wilt(' on the Bth
instant. We saved the ship with great difficulty, by
running into a creek in the bay, the particulars of
which I will write you in my next. We are obliged
to stop on the Mother Bank, having so many of the
crew sick. The gale was so tremendous,that nothing but
inevitable destruction seemed to await the whole fleet;
every ship in the greatest distress. The scene was most
dreadfid.—l herewith subjoin a most melancholy ac-
count :—the Elizabeth, E. E. was totally lost ; the
Elizabeth, H. I. also totally lost, master and wife and
one boy drowned ; the Elizabeth, No. 149, on shore,
much damaged, and little hopes of getting her off ;
the Minerva, L. K. total loss ; the Duke of Clarence,
K. L. in the creek, much damaged ; Rodney,
0. W. ditto ; transport, D. L. ditto ; Good Intent,l
No. 130, came to sea with us • Shelbourne, N.B. dit-
to : parted with her off ti.e Wight on the 21st. We
sailed from Quiberon on the 16th inst. The whole
of the ships lost their anchors and cables ; they left
Lisbon with us on the Bth inst."
