WRECK OF THE SHIP GEORGE CANNING.

PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS, Kuwait 11.

The ship George Canning, Captain J. Clarke, sailed
from Calcutta on the 20th of January-last, with a cargo
consisting of 600 bags of rice.. and some bales of India
calicoks, arrived at the Mauritius on the 6th of March,
and for the want of a clean bill of health, was pat into
quarantine at .the Pavilion. At six in the morning the
weather was perhaps alarming to the inhabitants of the
Colony, whom long experience had taught the signs
which denote the approach' of a hurricane—the exces-
sive heat, which we had experienced the preceding days
.the setting of the sun—the proximity of the last
quatter af the moon—were for us sufficient notices to be
on:our guard ; though the morning was far advanced
before the ships in the road had commenced taking any
precautions. It is doubtful whether on board the
George Canning they had perceived the movements in
the harbour, and it ought to be supposed, from the
circumstance which we are going to relate, that Captain
Clarke had no apprehension of the storm until it had
burst. At three o'clock the George Canning began to
drive. It was then impossible to set sail, on account of
the. disorder and incensbrances on-the deck. The Captain
ordered every preparation to be made, and the ship was
ready to move at four o'clock precisely. Captain
Clarke then directed the chain cable to be prepared
for slipping, and the ship remained without driving
until five o'clock. It then recommenced to drive,
always to leeward, and the variations of the sound-
ings announced the near approach to land. At seven,
.orders were given to slip the chain cable, and to hoist
the mainsail; the wind, which bad changed suddenly,
struck this sail with great violence on the side opposite to
that of the direction in which it bad been set. It was,
necessary to lower it for seven or eight minutes. During
this time the ship was dragging rapidly towards the
shore. The lead was hove, which gave no more than five
fathoms, at the same time the ship touched forward, and
received a violent shock; in one mintrte afterwards she
struck a second time ; which unshipped her rudder.— ,
Orders were immediately given to cat away the masts,
and the mizen-mast was cut away. Endeavours
were then made to cut away the rigging of the main-
mast, but in doing this the batches broke, and it was
impossible to go -on. The long boat was lowered,'
and in doing thisit struck violently against a gua.whick
made a hole in it, notwithstanding which the following
persons embarked—the Captain, the second Officer, the
master, the sail maker, the caipenter, four apprentices,
and Mr. Wadd. The vessel then struck with so much
violence that those who remained on board believed she
would go to pieces. The darkness was so profound,
and the ship in such a position, that. no one could quit
his place without imminent danger. It was only at
midnight that the Lieutenant, the tole Officer-remain-
ing, could join the cooper, and at one o'clock the first
Other, who told him that the Captain had been obliged
to return with his people astern of the vessel,
At day break it -was observed that the poop of the
vessel had entirely disappeared, and that only seventeen
persons remained astern. The Lieutenant ordered a raft
to Nyasa% upon which he got-ashore at eight o'clock
in the morning, with all his people, with the exception
of Lewis and Smith, seamen, who would not wait until
the raft was completed, and who were already ashore
when the Lieutenant arrived there.
The persons saved are—Henry Lind, Lieutenant; William
George. first officer; William Paul, carpenter; William SCAtlie.
apprentice; John G. Baringwhite, Augustine Gonsaluus,
John Vincent, Joachim Lewis,tominique, Manuel Marks, Mariano Gla-
nds, Peter Johnson, William Brown, William Smith, and William
Gibbons, seamen; in all seventeen persons.
Thom who have disappeared. in number 16, are—J. Clarke,
-Captain ; W. Glow, second Met; the Surgeon (si hose name is
net known); John Taylor, steward; William Hyper, carpenter;
William Greendei, Grain's savant; Samuel Nash, seaman;
Philip Cork, cook ; Pedro, Portuguese ; John Rodrigue, Portu-
guese Thomas Carter,-seaman; Mr. Wadd, pannier ; Mr.
lierth;nd, passenger; Constance and his child, pastengen; and
Shaikh, Lamar. servant to Mr. Wadd.

There have been found up to the present time only
five bodies, which'are those of Samuel Nash, Shaddi,
Pedro, Cork, and the body of a young man, so much
disfigured that it could not be recognised with cer.
tainty. It is supposed to be that of Greendel or T.
Carter.—Sydney Gazette.

29th, being in lat. 32.37. N. and long. 59.44. a gale of
wind came on from the eastward ; got the hip under
snug canvas. At noon, the gale and .sea increasing, shg
was laid.to under close.reefeJ main-topsail, in which
state she laid until about tour r.sr. Gale and sea still
increasing, sent dOWIL topgallant yards and topgallant
masts. Nothing further occurred until about 6r m. when
she sprung a leak; the pumps were immediately manna,
but all exertions to save her proved useless, for in
about an hour's time she was completely waterlogged,
and immediately upset ; the lanyards, and other sup.
ports to the masts, were 'cut away, in order to let the
vessel right again, which she did in about halt en hour,
with nothing standing but her bowsprit. All hands
immediately got forward, and lashed themselves to the
windlass ' • but, notwithstanding this precaution, the
Captain (N. M. Bennett) was unfortunately washed
overboard and drowned, during the night. The wind
having hauled round to the westward during the
night, now blew a complete,hiviicane, and the sea
running tremendously, wns,4intanally washing over
the wreck. The sea crwitinnei :waning very high

aft to the Cabin in. search provisions, but, to their
astonishment, they fund the stern completely washed
away, and no provisions of any kind to be found but
one barrel of flour, which they got up, and were forced
to sat milled with salt water. On the 11th day they
cieght a.shark, the blood of which afforded them a
little nooti:htnent. ,On the 13th tyre of the seamen
died, and on the 14th day another died ; and on' the 15th

" Most Illustrious and Excellent Sir—His Majesty.
our Sovereign, has been pleased to order that the Board
of Privy Council shall not select for the possession or
service of offices or other public employments, persons
whose sentiments are contrary to the Monarchical form
of Government established by the fundamental laws of
Portugal, or in whom there is not that fidelity to his
Majesty which ought to be in ail true Portuguese. and
especially in public officers, and even those in respect
to whom the above cannot with certainty be affirmed,
there is, therefore, a well founded suspicion ; ana the
Board, for the punctual fulfilment of this sovereign de-
termination, is always to proceed to the most scrupu-
lous investigations, by Magistrates of acknowledged
trustworthiness; and the Board must likewise prefer
those who, ceteris paribus, shall have given the most
proofs of adherence to the said form of Monarchical
Government established by the fundamental laws of
Portugal, and of fidelity to the King our Sovereign.
His Majesty is also pleased that the same precaution
shall be used with respect to the temporary promotions
which the Board makes to Offices of Justice.

DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS.

BERLIN. Oct. 31.
The St. Petersburgh Journal gives, in an Estraorii•
nary Supplement. a Bulletin of the Rassian Amy in
Asia. General Paskewitsch, reports to his Majesty as
follows:

'6 Being informed that a great number of inhabitants
of the province of Kars, whom the Turks were taking
away to Ardaghan, wished to return home, Colonel
Prince Brkowicz Czerkasky was sent to deliver them.
He had two battalions of Chasteurs, 200 Cossacks, 70
Armenian horsemen of Kais, and tour pieces of light
aitille►y. Ac the distance of 15 wersts from Ardaghan
'he • learnt that the PACII4 of Mouschk, at the head of
4011 men. was driving towards Eizereum the inhahi-
, tentltio whose assistance our troops came, and he re-
sel*ed to attack the enemy. The Turks at first fell
but by his skilful manoeuvres he compelled them
to fight, and they were soon completely put to the
route, leaving their killed and wounded on the field.
Among the former was the son of the Pacha of Mouschk
and sixteen superior officers. In general the eilemy'l
loss was ♦err considerable. We had 92 men killed or
missing, and 29 wounded.
64 The fortress of Ardaghasi surrendered voluntarily
on the 9d of September to Major General Bergmann,
who had gone from•Kars with a small detachment to
take possession of that town, and to disperse the parties
at the enemy that were flying from Achatizik toward;
Er zereum."

The same papers contain an order of the day, sd.
dressed by General Paskewitsch to his troops, alter the
storming of the tortreis of Achalzik, in which he b.
stows the highest commendations on their valour. both
in taking the fortress and is storming the enemy's camp.
He says, “ that in 22 years service he has seen many
brave armies, but none more brave or more patient
under fatigues and privations."
Various commercial advantages and privileges have
been granted by the Emperor to the fortress o Anapa,
lately taken from the Turks. It may, perhaps, be in-
ferred from this, that Russia does not intend to restore
that important fortress to the Turks.

The taking of Varna has caused the greatest oy bete,
and confirmed the opinion of all those who knew the
valour and perseverance of the Russian armies, that
nothing can shake their firmness. Varna was never
before taken, or a Turkish. High Admiral made fai-
-1
boner ; this first instance will not fail to have a moral
influence on the Turks, which must be heightened by
the generosity of the Emperor, who, according to
letters from Odessa of the 15th, gave the Capitan Paths
his liberty ; who, with SOO men, took the way to Idos.
OrnerVtione was stated to have retreated precipitately,
pursued by General 8i51,0114 while Prince Eugene of
Wirtemberg had reinforced the army before &heath"
whence it might be inferred that Schmid' was to be
pressed with vigour.
Other letters from Odessa say, that the campaign was
considered as ended for this year, and that penal' the
Guards had orders to go into winter quarters, that the
Emperor was going back to St.l"etersborgh, sod that
his equipages were ready for ffitn-it Issaktchi, but we
have nothing official about his Majesty's return. Large
magazines are forming at Varna' laid it is to be more
bttongly fortified. The corps of Gamed Gelsmbir will
immediately receive great telefottementse—Alteetttle
