NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

LOSS OF TILE PALL 1S AND NYNIPIIE FRIGATES.

EXTRACT Or A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER OF THE
Rol' A l.s) 10 A GENTLEMAN IN EDINBURGH,

DATED

" DUNBAR. Dtc. 19.

" Our coast prcsenis a dreadful spectacle of the,
wrecks of two fine Frigates, the Pallas, of 32
guns, and the Nymphs, of .16. The one a mile
below Dunbar, and the other three miles further.—
Coming up the Frith at half-past 10 last night,
whets, as the rate of tett knots an hour, they both
ran aground on the rocks, and exhibit a total
wreck, the coast all strewed with beams, planks,
casks, &c. Fortunately only seven or eight
men have lost their lives in, both, who were
brought ashore, and every Means in vain tried fur
their recovery. Saw the First Lieutenant brought
ont apparently dead, but after an hoar and a half,
was so fur recovered as to be removed to the Duchess
of Roxburgh's—now well. It was 11 this morning
before a boat could go to their assistance, although
within a cable's length of the shore ; and the life..
boat upset with 40 men in it, luckily only one wai
drowned. Must of our regiment have been there
all day, guarding the wrecks, and assisting as far
as tliey could. The miserable appearance, of the
half-drowned seamen, as they were carried on -shore,
was truly deplorable. We have invited the Offi-
cers to come to,the barracks. None of them would
dine to-day, but have promised 10-morruti. Al:
though they had a Pilot on board, they mistook a
limekiln burning •at Broxmouth, for the May
• Light, and the May for the Bell Ruck."
Another letter from Denbar,l of the same
date, confirms the account.

We hear that on Friday night his MAASTY was
Feriously indisposed. His howels'were affected ;
awl the consequence was a relapse of his disorder.
Ministers were sent fer ; and Lord CAMInNy the
Earl of LtvEttroot., &c. went to Windsor. Our
Readers trill observe with regret, that the Bulletin
of yesterday gators his Majesty has nut recovered
his former quiet.

The Earl of Ijoignewey and Mr. PEECEYAL ar.
rived at Windsor Castle on Saturday, a little before
twelve o'clock, and remained there several hours.
Yesti fiay morning her MAJESTY and the Pat
cessus heard Divine Service in Windsor Castle.
They afterwards went to Proginore.
• Doctor BAiLLIE left Windsor for London yes.

It is understood that Mr. PERCEVAI. will move

It is stated in an article dated from the Turkish
frontiers, that Russia will admit of no modification
of the terms of peace formerly proposed to the
Porte; which were the cession of the provinces on
the left bank of the Danube, the total exclusion of
English vessels from the Turkish ports, and the ac-
cession of the GUANO SLIGNOtt t 0 the " cc/ntittett-

The Burni:tg Decree has been carried into effect
with great ostentation at Bourtleaux, and we are
told that w hile the property was exposed to the
flames, " the peopie beheld with pleasure the exe-
cution of the law for the preservation of the sternal
liberty of the seas, and for the maintenance of thg.
sacred itgiits of civilized nations."

Lectex studiously avoids all pomp and ostentation.
lilts shiest son, a tine youth. of eleven years of age,
was on Tuesday taken through the dock-yard, ac.
companied by Captain WAsits.g, who brought
them to England.

OPER.d.

The King's 'Theatre *at opened on Saturday
;tight, with an Opera entitled Zuira, originally coin.
puse.l by the Chevalier Camino, for Madame Bin.
TI :COTT', and who, now, in this Opera, midi: her
debut in England. We feel much gratification in
announcing Madame Rewrtworrt to our Readers.

'lf there be a genuine taste for the purity of lyric
performance,' and knowledge to appurve of the ex.
quisite simplicity which is the result of science (of
which, however, if we were to reason from what
has received the stamp of fashion, we might doubt)
Madame Burris:um would be honoured with no
ordinary welcome by the amateurs of her art.
She has been bred in that true school, whieh
aims at once to arouse the emotions and to satisfy
the judgment of her, auditory. Without the daz.
zling faculties which sorprize the ear, and by which
the modern practice strives to exalt the powers of
execution to the pinnacle of fame, she has the bet.
ter and more valuableviality of searching the soul,
and of stirring all the finest sympathies of our na.
tore. tier voice has not the volume of CAT.% LA
but by its silvery and magical !Otte, it fills the area
! of the *King's Theatre so as to make the most delicate
nine distinctly audible ; and nothing could more
truly prove the influence which she obtained over the
hearts of the company, than the mute and perfect
silence with which her cantabile was heard. She
manifested, in the fine ate after awaking front the
dream in which .her deceased father appears to her
senses, such a comtnand over the passions of the
audience, as we have rarely whitened from time
powers of music. She has all the science of Mrs.
BILLING,TON, with the sante happy ease, clearness,
and articulation ; in her pathetic ihterance,•she re-
minds us of the style of PACCHJEROTTI, or rather
of MARCHES!. She was honoured with unbounded
Applause. TRANIOSEANI sang with his accustomed
excellence.
