LIVERPOOL, FEBRUARY u.

The following is a copy of a letter received by
Messrs. CROPPER, BENSON, and Co. dated Tralee,
23cl lebruary, 1818:

" There has 'been a boa found on this coast, about 20 miles
from this, containing a variety et papers of value, amongst which
are an Invoice and Bill of Lading, for a quantity of cotton wool,
shipped in the Bengal, and dated Calcutta, directed to your
address, with a Bill of Exchange for the freight on you. I have
seen but a few of the papers, as the people who found them were
unwilling to part with them, without a recompence for their
trouble. Amongst the papers I understand are several Bills of
Exchange and Powers of Attorney, directed to people in Lon-
don and Scotland. (Signed) " CHARLES lellAMON:"
