TORBAY, Dec. a t.—l laft evening inform-d you
of his Majefly's (hip &Owns being on (bore on
Grimflon Sands, the weft part of Torbay, clof! to
Paington Hofpital. lam jut, come from the fpot,
and find the difaller was occaftoned by all the cabl-r
parting ; all but the bed bower, or Quad cables were
gone, and when they had cut away the main and
mizen malls, and before it was clear of the (hip's fide,
the latter cable alfn parted, the wreck dill tieing
alongfisle, it helped the (hip to wear : they then (leer-
ed the Tip dire& for the above place ; and with the
dirraions of the people on (bore run on the loftieß
and fafell place of the beach. If they had gone half
the length of the (hip to the northward of where the
(hip Ili tick, every foul on board midi have perifhed,
there being a ledge of rocks where the (hip moll have
inflantly gone to pieces ; (he is now full of water, or
at lead as the tide riles and falls, but remains nearly
upright with the guns, Sec. in the proper places.—
I am happy to inform you, not a life was loll.—
Ail the Officers and Crew are at Paington Hofpital.
The wind is fill at E. hr N. hut more moderate, and
not In much lea. His Majefly's (hip 141.441,1111, Cap-
tain SOMERVILLE, rides very heavy,with all the yards,
topmaft, &c. on deck ; and it is hoped her cables are
good. That being the cafe, (hips in this Bay, with
the above precautions, have nn danger to apprehend.
PLY/61.:LTTM, Dec. 2,--XEITIV in the Dana (hip
Emanuel, Capt. STROLDT, from Copenhagen, bound
to Barcelona, laden with wheat, put in very leaky.
The DRIADNOUONT and MALTA men rf war, in
Cawfand Bay, rode very har: during the late gales
at EaR, and drifted very near the (bore.
Orders were received here, by this day's poll, to
detain and prevent all 3panifh (hips and vcfrcls from
failing. There are three (hips at this port, richly
laden, betides the Medea and Clara frigates.

POPTIMOUTI4, DEC. 22.—The trade,
under convoy of the LINIC,RII, of 32 guns, Captain
HMILDYI4•II, and the Swirl. fl :np of war, will fail
to-morrow morning. There are near zoo fail of
Teals in this Heel. The thricoas carries nut dif•
patches for Sir J. T. I'vcitwovrts. This day the
Officers of the Portfea Baltali n waited on Major
CARTER, previous to his embarkation for the Well
Indies in the above flee', when the fwnrd voted by
the Corps (value so guineas) was prefented to him
by Captain WHIT!.
Elver masa al.—Arrived the Mtcaa• fire (hip,
from Actuire. The INCONSTANT frigate, the Com.
modore of the outward bound Weg India fleet, has
(hilted her birth on account of the wind coming
round from S. E. to E. S. E.

POITSIA, DEC. z3.—The v.ind lliiiting this morn-
ing, prevented the NVefl Indi4 Let from failing; part
of them gut under weigh, hut were obliged to bring
to again.

SNIERNW, Drc. 22.—We have the happinefs to
contradict the lots of the GALLANT gun brig's cutter,
with Lieutenant &trims, ,•.d the crew : they arrived
here lag night, having been carried by the tidedown
the Swin, where they very fortunately got on board
a veffel, and were obliged, through the violence of
the wind, to remain there urtil yetlerday. The boat
that drove afhore, fupprifed to be the GALLANT'S
cutter, proves to be one that broke adrift from one
of the (hips at the Note. The Hoffnung
from Valentina in Spain. to London, with a cargo
of rairins, has erove on (bore on the main land here,
but we arc in hopes flu. will be got off without any
very material injury.
DIAL, Die. 23.—Arrived and failed for the Ri-
ver the Norava, Cacao, from Demarara. Arrived
the Ranger armed (rip, with a convoy from Nev.-
caftle, which are failed on their refpeaive voyages.
The Ranger remains in the Downs with his Majeflj's
(hips as per lan. Wind S. W. moderate.
