MARGATE, JANUARY e.
The tempestuous weather of the last week has or,
casioned great loss among the shipping upon this
coast. A gun-brig was driven on those off Deal.
The Goodwin Light disappeared from her moorings,
and great fears are entertained filcher safety, though
as the wind blew from the North-east, it is hoped she
may have drifted down Channel. or be beard of on
the coast of France. Our-Margate-boats,•on Thurs-
day, were busied in assisting a vessel from Ostend, in
ballast, and convey either to Whitstable Bay in safety.
On Friday a large American ship from Valentia, in
Spain, loaded with Spanish weed- and fruit, under qua.
rantine, was run on shore in Westgate Bay. The

OPErNOCK, JANUARY 7.
Friday morning the body of a seafaring man was
cast ashore near the Bay of Quick. On examining it,
it proved to be the body of a seaman who had been
missing three weeks ago from the American brig Ana
o.Zutu., which lately sailed from this port for New
York. It is supposed he had fallen overboard one of
the tempestuous nights we had at that time.

The charges preferred against the prisoner by Cap-
tain BLIGH were,

ing in about noon the following written paper to the
Court
" Mr. Pusstnagr and GENTLEMEN,
" Taking it for granted that the Court will not
think it right to enquire into the propriety or impro-
priety of the dispossessing. me of the Civil Govern-
, anent of the territory of New South Wales, as that is
to be made the subject of investigation before anotlicr
tribunal, and the Lords Commissioners of the Admi-
ralty directed me in framing the charges upon the
present occasion to confine myself to those po:f.ts
which were in breach of the N teal Articles a War,
I have no fisrther evidence to trouble the Court
shohld, however, The prisoner put his detence upon
that ground, and the Court think it right to enter
into the enquiry, they will, I post, hereafter permit
me to call witnesses to answer to any charges
may be attempted to be estahlhhed against rue la
justification of that measure. Until I hear what Olt y
are, it is impossible I can answer them, and to cilt,r
by anticipation into a general history pfrny Govera-
