EAsT INDIA SHIPPING.

Private letters from Bengal, dated November, men•
tion, that the Ocean parted with the MODESTE frigate,
in the Straits of Malacca, and was not seen afterwards
by the frigate, nor had arrived in China at the date
of the last accounts. It is therefore concluded, that
she must have suffered materially in the tiffoon,which
several ships had encountered in the China seas.
The following information had been received from
St: Helena:—" An American ship, named the Chi.
use; arrived here the 13th of Tehrtiary : the master
states, that he sailed from Macao on the 3d Deceur.,
' beii7 s' that six of the Honourable Company's ships had
artised there two months before ; and that four India=
men (supposed to be the direct ships) were going up
i the river when The Chinese was coming down. His
!Majesty's ship Bier.LiQueux was also there. On the
23d September the Ocean was blown out of Macao
Roads,iin a gale, and no intelligence of her hici been
received by -the supercargoes when the American
sailed."
