SeggYitUCTION OP THE SHIP TYNE *FRES TRADER, $Y

TI RR.

Tha commencement of this melancholy affair. tqok
',place at about halt•prist ten w la. r n Wediie,day last,
when the fl imes were obsceved fttshingfrom her stet,,'
'windows, and from thence to the rigging and m•a•ts
which in a bhott time were enveloped in flames. it AAs
soon perceived that any attempt to save the burning
vessel would be fruitless, the attention therefoie of those
in attendance was 'immedia'tely directed to remove the
adjacent ships from the births they occupied to places of
'comparatively len danger, which was d in every
'instance in the most able manner by the Commande rs
and Officers cft the ships now in Labelle. The most
'unqualified praise is due to the Officers of hisMajesty'.
'ships, who with a promptitude quite unrivalled, offered
the assistance of their men and boats in any way that
would conduce •to the safety of the ships {hat were in
'danger. Many ai tempts during the day were made to
'sink her, without the desired effect. She continued
'burning until halt past seven A at. at which time •he
'sunk, cars ytng with her mucn valuable property. The
• of this disastrous affair, as is ge ierAlly the case,
is not distinctly known, we therefore refrain from
setting any the vague tepurts which are commonly
so current on these occasions. She was commanded by
Captain Cotgrarre, and was a ship taken up for the par
pose of conveying the passengers And cargo destined
for the Lady Nugent, which ship was condemned at
Portsmouth.—Beatilay Gazelle, March 26. •
