MELANCHOLY sHIPwREcK.

A letter, dated yarmouth, \N. D. Jan. Z,
mentions the following disaster in the gale of
the 3lst December. The schooner perseve-
rance, captain M'Donald. loaded at st. An
drews. by Mr. Milidge, of St. John, with
cargo of slaves and lumber, bound for ia
maica; this vessel sailed about the 29th ult.
and soon after, in heavy gale, sprung aleak,
became water logged, and was capsized:
her mainmast soon went by the board, and
with it three of her crew who sunk to rise no
more, in The merCiless abyss the captain and
mate, and two others were saved 10 undergo
further sufferings--as, on the vessels right
ing, they were left destitute of provisions or
fire, and remained fortwo days longer, when
all persisted but the captain, through the &C
cumulated pressure of want, cold and fatigue.
By great exertions, M'Dona|d got the vessels
head towards land, and last evening she was
driven among the rocks, in dreadful surf,
near the before mentioned place. Every ex-
ertion was made by the inhabitants to get off
boat and FIVE spirited men made two eff.
forts, al the risk OF their lives, TO save that
OF the only survivor, whose piercing cries
were distinctly heard by them-their laud-
able and praiseworthy attempts failed, from
the violence of the surf, and they had much
difficulty to save themselves. Captain MD.
bereft OF this hope, with singular presence of
mind, formed hasty raft OF boards. and af-
ter being twice cast from it, at last reached
so far through the surf, as to be taken up by
the spectators alive, though severely bruised;
and am happy to say, from the humane at
tention shown him, by those near the fatal
spot, is likely to do well.

Letters from Madrid OF the Cd, advise
us of another change of Ministers. Don Lo'
zanpo Torres, the Minister Of Grace and
Justice 1.-THE Premierl and the political Grant
of the Cabinet for along time past, was dis
missed from Office on the lst, and though not
sent into Punishment, as his predecessors
have been, it was understood would expert
ance that mark of royal attention and respect
in few days thereafter. This change VIII
have ne effect on our affairs, though Don Lo-
zanno was ALWAYS thought TO be steadiast
foe 10 the Treaty. 1t is thought to be the
work of the Duke San Fernando, in return
for the very Jealous exertions Don Lozanno
used to gel the Duke 10 go 10 the United
States.
Don Lozanao is superseded by Don
Mozo Rosales, Marquis of Mota Florida
Other changes are talked Of and the Duke
