The Tiarossa. li.trry. sailed from Wisbeach the
erd of last month far the Thames, and has not since
ben heard of. - A boat belonging to her was lately
picked up n:ar Hasbro' Sand and carried into Win-
tenon, and it is therefore feared she has foundered.
From authentic accounts received from Gibraltar,
da:ed the sth instant, we regret to learn the Plague
is extending rapidly to the westward in Africa, and
was at that period within 15 leagues of Oran. The
strictest quarantine is in consequence enforced at
Gibraltar.

The f..)llowing is an extract of a letter from Mr.

HURLEY, master of the Jane, from Valparaiso, dated
Itio Janeiro, November 20:—" I have the pleasure
to inform you of my arrival I:ere in .52 days, from
Valparaiso. At the time cf my departure the Patriots
were in possession of the whole of Chili, with the ex-
ception of Talcur," A Spanish frigate, a sloop of
war, anti two brigs, were occasionally seen to the
Southward, supposed for the purpose of intercepting
vessels bound in ; but many had, notwithstanding, ar-
rived. The Amphion frigate had been out 36 days from
Buenos Ayres, w!len I sailed from Valparaiso, and
had not arrived ; but since my an ival here I have
learnt thAt she had nt into that port."
Oa the night of Friday se'nnight, a private soldier
of the 44th regiment died suddenly, while on guard,
at the gaol in -Wexford. surgical eiJ7t:cice was im-
mediately procured., and every ota^ns u wd to se4totr,
animation, but without elect.
