The curiosities of antiquity sent by the Brit of
TRIPOLI for the PRINCE Reossr, were removed yes-
terday from the Weymouth store-ship, at Deptford,
to the Tower.
Sraosuress.--There were lately above 40 large
ships in this harbour, chiefly ships for the Greenland
land Davis straits Fisherips; they have employed se-
veral hundred seamen belonging to the country. The
discovery-ships are expected to touch here, and num-
bers of seamen seem anxious to be employed on the
voyage. There are rumours in circulation, that se-
veral of the Hudson's Bay Company's servants, from
this county, have been starved to death, by tome im-
proper arrangements. Several ships have touched in
this county, with emigrants on board for America.
By advices from Iceland, it appears that the ship
Autumn, DAVID BACUELOR master, belonging to
and bound for Dundee, with a cargo from Quebec,
,was wrecked on that Island on the night between the
'2Bth and 29th October last ; when all on board had
perished, as only five dead bodies were found on
deck. She was an uncommonly strong ship, of 330
tons burden ; had a crew of eighteen people, besides
two men passengers ; and as she sailed from Quebec
about the 27th of August, only two months before
being driven ashore, it is conjectured, that having
been dismasted to the northward of Shetland during
the heavy southerly gale that so long prevailed about
that time, she had bore away for Iceland. It may
be useful, for the details which it contains, to subjoin
an extract from a letter written by Mr. CLARK, at
Elsinore, and dated the Bth April :-
4, A proclamation in the Danish Cadre Gowtre, of the 3d of
this month, advertises the concerns of a vessel, stranded at Ice-
land, in the night between the 28th and 29th of October last, a
Danish mile (four English) north from Osterhover, and three
Danish milas south from Vencfiorden,—a three-masted vessel,
called the Stromboli° (the former name of the Autumn); no
laving person on board ; but, on the contrary, the melancholy
' spectacle of five dead persons, four quite naked, and one tires-
' std in a Poli.h green coat-spencer, blue coat, striped vest, blue
small clothes, and striped shirt, marked P. N. In the pocket
of the latter was found a small tin bo4, containing three letters,
addressed to Thomas Nicoll, Loudon, dated 13th of Nov, m-1
bet.. 1816, 27th of February and lit of April, 1817. The first,'
from being damaged by salt water, could not be read. They
are signed Mary Hannah Nicoll, supposed the wife of the
said person. Three gold rings, a watch, chain, and seals,
and some English, Spanish, and North American money ; a cer-
tificate (signed by Thomas Neish, junior) of having served OS
board the Cygnet, Captain Henderson, as Mate, and after.
wards commanding a vessel belonging to Mr. P. 8r0wn....
The vessel had formerly been used as a ship of war, and carried
from 24 to 30 guns ; has painted ports ;ad lost her, masts, and
broke in the middle, bottom out. The cargo was oak and As
balks, from 12 to 60 feet long, and from nine to 23 inches round ;
also pipe-etaves and oars. As I have no doubt the unfortunate
ship is the Autumn,' it is necessary the concerned and relatives
of the persons found should be made acquainted with this dread-
ful visitation of PILOVIDINCS and within a year and a day to
give powers to some person to act for them in recovering any
property saved, which the Proclamation calls for ; failing whick.i
the property will fall to the King of Denmark, agreeably to the
laws of the country. The G.aette is dated 18th January, 1818,
from Eskefurd, and signed by M. H. Tvede, Chamber-Assessor."
On the 7th instant a fire broke out at Luxemburg,
near the Imperial Palace. The wind being very high
it Unfortunately laid above twenty houses in ashes,
