Extract of a Letter from gist Haren, dated Oct.
15 conseqwnce of a severi gale comi:g (b.', on
the 10th inst. the fleet wider convoy of Ow Suttuni
74, was directed to put int., A•er haven they.
Baring transport, a fine ship, upwards of 700 grimy,
hating on boa id 18 Officers, and more thin 3.Annen
of the 40th regiment, under We conitnatid of • Abjor
Shelton, lay-to for a pilot off the tnowth of the
haven, but so near_to the rocks, that she rhos% upon.,
r them on the left side of the entrance, and ,after
striking several times, lost lier rudder: she then be-
came unmanageable, drifted across the haveri, sad
struck on the rocks ou Bear Island, carrying away
her bowsprit.
Through the exertions of the Officers, the men
were kept below, until the water was aerie deep on
the deck ; every endeavour was then-uied tort them
on shore, as the ship waslound to be sinking fast.gr

but I hope some of them may yet be found upon tit,
lisland. From the vessel filling so fast, and the exer.c
lions oPetery..Officer being required in saving the
men, it was impossible for them to recover any part
. of their baggage; they have lost almost 'every things
and many of the men are in a state of nakedness.

I was on the beach from the commencement of
this unfortunate business, without being able to
reader much assistance ; and in justice to the offi-
cers on board, I must say, that to their exertions
alone it was owing that so few of the men ow
board were lost by jumping overboard. Witk
the assistance of the boats belonging to the Sultan,
Shamrock, and other vessels in the fleet, Ma-
jor Shelton, with the aid of the oificeVs on
board, succeeded In getting the remainder of the men
On shore by dark. The Baring is now covered with
,water, and I fear nothing on board can he recover*
ed. It was providential that she did not remain
where she struck in the first instance : had she done
so, I fear, every soul would have perish.-d, there
being a heavy surf, and no, possibility of the men
getting -upon the rocks had they jumped overboard,
added to which, not a boat could get to her, in
consequence of the wind and tide setting into the
haven at the time. . ; •

villains, by cutting and removing part of a pane in

took out 19. silk shawls, and got oft' undiscovered.
A tall, fellow, with a flat nose, in a light coat, hiv-
ing a woman and a stout boy with him, was seem
about that.hour, loitering near the premises. A
similar act of depredation was committed about the
same time, at Mr. Cox's, in Union-street, where
the glass was cut by a diamond, and two lace shawls
and other valuable articles stolen.
On Monday morning se'nnight, a man, recent'
