PLYMOUTH, DECEMBER 30.

The whole of yefterday it blew a moll tremen•
dons norm at South, and continued without inter-
miffion until about nine o'clock P. M. ; fortunate-
ly no accident of any confequence happened within
this harbour, except in the cafe of the Relief
Mop, belonging to the Viaualling Office, which
was driven athore in Teal's Bay, and is there
ftr andect; the crew all raved. In Boveyfand Bay
however, which is within the limits of this port,
the Pratfall galliott Jonge Jan Swaart, Captain
Lost', bound from Amfterdam to Bayonne, laden
with various merchandize, was there driven athore
about two o'clock this morning. and we tinder-
nand both veffel and cargo totally loft ; the craw
wereaUprovidentallyfaved, by taking to their (mall
boat, and running for Plymouth Sound, and they
were taken on board his Majefty's (hip NEm cat:,
of 28 guns, Captain Son sari Lis, at anchor there,
where they received every care and attention ;
and this morning about eight o'clock, they
landed at this place : they found themfelves fo
much employed during the gale yefterday, as to
make it impoffible to weather the Mewftone, and
they sere reduced to the neceffity of coming to
anchor not far Prot:. the Rocks, where the veffel
rode out the gale near eight hours ; but as the tide
ebbed, her fituation became fo critical. that the
crew refolved to rifle their lives in the boat, though
the had received confiderablc damage, previous to
their attempting this only chance of faring their
lives, which was providentially accompliffied,
though at an immenfe hazard, as the fca literally
ran mountains high.
Came in the Dutch fhip Juffrow Maria, Captain
JACOB SLUYL, from Amfterdam, bound to Smyr-
na, laden with bale goods ; the Dana brig Kil-
-1 liffart, Captain Jacos Jacossoa, from Briftol,

and her pumps choakcd ; and the French brig To.

kirk, for Tobago, with plantation ftores, with the

Lail night, about nine o'clock, the American
(hip Juno, of New York, Captain CLAIR r, bound
from Philadelphia to London, was driven athore
at Wrinkle. in Witfand Bay, within this port: the
crew, and paffengers, confining of a woman and
four children. were all providentially Caved, except
one little boy, who is miffing : the (Lip very for-
tunately got on a land bank, and though it is
feared the will be loft, it is expaled tl.4t part cf
the cargo. confining of flour, cotton, cnff:e, furs,
• &c. will be Caved ; every Rep to arcom:.iifh this
übjea has been taken, and a proper gLard of Rs-

venue Officers and others placed on the fpot, to
prevent plunder by the country people: the cargo
is very valuable.
Mr. CLOTWORTHY MERCIIIANT, and his boat's
crew of four men, were very near being drowned
this morning in attempting to board a foreign %cf.
fel going into Catwater ; their boat was Clove, and
had it not been for the affiflance of other boats
which were near at hand, they would moll pro-
bably have loft their lives.

We have juft learnt that there were two other
veffels loft laft night in Witfand Bay, near Loin.'
the one called the Unanimity, of this port, Capt.
Mix-cram., from Ireland, with provilions, wird
And cargo totally loft, and all the crew, except a
black boy, who remained by the wreck, and was
providentially prcferved until Alliance was given
him from tiy lhore the other veffel we cannot
collect any particulars of, nor whether fhe is Fo-
reign or Britifh.
