GIBRALTAR, DECEMBER so.

"The effe4ls of the form of yeaerday morning
are vifible in every part of the rock. The crop of
aloft of the gardens has been completely delheyed
by the hail, which lay upwards of ten inches thick.)
in many places, and feveral of the hail hones were
more than an inch diameter. Almoft the whole
of die windows in :he Naval Hofpital were demo-
lifted by them.
" The Phccnix, Portuguere frigate, as was con-
jectured, (truck upon the Pearl rock, and, after
nearly foundering, the beat off again, with the lots
of her rudder. She parted all her cables but one,
with which the brought up nearthe breakers,about
two miles beyond Cibrita Point, where the now
lies in great danger.
s, I am happy to inform you that no apprehen.
lions are now entertained for the CYNTHIA (loop
of war ; as, after driving from her anchors, the
was teen (landing through the Gut, under norm
)fay.fails, without any damage.
" The Adventure, army tranfport, has been
got off the rocks, at the back, of the New Mole,
with little injury, and will fail in a few days for
England.
44 The Royal battery which was let on fire by
the lightning, is now completely burnt down,every
endeavour to eatinguith it having been ineffectual.
" The Spaniards are difarming at Carthagenai
according to the laft accounts.
" The Garrifon is now fo healthy that one of
the Corps has fhut up their Hofpital, there not
being a fingle lick man in it : this time two years
about thirty men, on an average, died every week,
now there are fcarcely as many lick in the whole
garrifon. Such are the effects of regularity and
difcipline, and a proper attention to the health of
the troops, which, indeed, has always been a moll
eonfpicuous trait in the conduit of His Royal
Highnefs the Duke of Ksrr, wherever he has
commanded. _ _

21.—After a remarkable fine day
yeflerday, a gale of windcommenced again today
from the N. E. with greater violence than on the
nth, and blew the whole day in a molt alarming
manner: much damage was done to the (hipping.
A large polacre aruck on the rocks and foundered
at the back of the New Mole. A French man of
war brig, from the Eallward, anchored off Alge-
Eras difmafled. - . .

"Die 21.—The French man of war brig
that put into Algefiras in &fires yeflerday, came
to anchor near the Garrifon to-day to beg of
Effance in refitting ; fhe is la Mutine, of t 6 guns,
from Toulon, in eight days, with 8o officers and
foldiers on board for St. Domingo, befides her
ieomplement of feamen. The Captain lays, that
when he left Toulon, two of our frigates were then
watering there.
"DT ca m asa 23.—The American frigate Adams
has juft arrived from Tangiers, which (he left yef-
torday. The Captain reports, that a Moor had
arrived at Tangiers, who afferted he had feen a
Portuguefe frigate go down on the 2111, during
the florin, and from the violence of the gale, and
the difireffed fituation the Phiznix was in when the
fecond form commenced, having loft her rudder,
and only one anchor and cable left, we are very
apprehenfive the accounts may be true. She was
the largeft frigate in the Portuguefe fervice, cart y-
ing upwards of co guns and coo men, command-
ed by Capt. DUNCAN, a Scotchman.
To our great joy, the CYNTHIA arrived fare la ft
night, with rn other damage than the lots of her
launch, (he having been blown ont of the Gut
under Cape Space!. Three merchant:nen drove
on board of her when the gale commenced, and
obliged her to cut her cables, and put to lea.
--She aim() gives us fome hopes that the Phe-
nix may Rill he fafe ; for yefterday morning
Ile taw a large Portuguefe frigate, in difirefs,
towing into the Gut, which we are in hopes may
be her, as the CYNTHIA picked up one of her boats,
with two men on board, who faid they had broke
adrift from her after the had got off the (hoals
near Cahrita Point, and that they left a frigate
and brig in company with her.
The Vixesco brig, with the mails from Lit
bon, arrived this morning."
