During a very heavy gale last night at S.W. the
Aurrsteat frigate, lying at single anchor, drifted on
shore, at about one o'clock, midnight, near Mount
Batten Point, where she now lies in a very danger-
ous situation on the rocks. Her masts have been
cut away, and a great many of her crew, it is feared,
have been drowned in attempting to leave her; three
have been picked up, and a boat's crew belonging to
a transport in Catwater, which went to the assistance
of the AMETHYST, were all drowned. There are on
the beach the remains of six boats, five of them belong
to the AMETHYST.

been taken on the 7th by the Invincible Napoleon
privateer. Last night it blew a strong gale at N.W.
attended with a heavy swell : about one o'clock the
AMETHYST frigate, Captain WALTON, parted her ca-
lbles, and drove on the rocks under Mount Batten.
Signal guns of distress were fired, and several boats
went to her assistance, one of which upset, with two
.masters of transports, who were unfortunately
drowned ; two Midshipmen belonging to the Aux-
TRYST were also drowned, and 20 seamen are missing,
supposed to be drowned. The vessel now lies a com-
plete wreck, her bottom knocked in, and all her masts
cut away.

selves to the Government of the Province of Caeton.
A general amnesty was granted to the pirates by the
Viceroy ; and upon their surrender they were receiv.
ed with marks of favour and honour, and taken iato
the employ of Government. The breaking up of this
piratical band is a very favourable event to the Chi.
nese coasting trade.
Some English prisoners of war from Java report
that General DAINRILS, the Governor-General at
Batavia, had brought the Dutch Officer who surren-
dered Amboyna to a Court Martial, by which he
was sentenced to be shot. The sentence had been
carried into execution by order of DAENDELL The
other officers, who were considered as sharing in the
disgrace of the surrender of Amboyna, but who pru-
dently kept out of the reach of the Gallo-Batavin
Government, have been declared infamous, their
names attached to the gallows, and the General hda
set a premium of 1000 to 8000 dollars on the bead of
every one of them. He had removed all the spices
from Banda to Sourabaye, where they had arrived.
The David Scott, Sovereign, Phoenix, and Prestoc,
from England, arrived at Madras on the '2Bth Au-
gust. Of the Earl Camden, Captain SAMPSON, which
was burnt at Bombay on the night of the 22d July,
vsei learn the fire broke out in the gun-room, and in-
stantly raged with such violence that every endea.
your to extinguish it proved ineffectual. An attempt
was made to scuttle her, but in vain. The flames
soon obtained complete possession of the ship, the;
crew were obliged to quit her, and she drifted up the
harbour, presenting an awful but magnificent spec.
tacle of a float•ng mass of fire. She was fortunately
the innermost ship, and to leeward of all the rest.—
No lives were lost. It was not learnt what occa.
sioned this accident. She was of 1200 tons, and
about half-laden for China. •
