Warren experienced tremendous tale from N.

| Warren experienced tremendous gale from N
E. on Thursday last, during which her fore
and mainsais were split, fore storm staysail
blown to pieces, maintopgallant mast and yard
with sails attached, carried away, but afterwards
recovered; miZen royal mast blown away, span
ker split, and lost the weather quarter boat, and
were compelled to heave to under the storm STAY
sail. The oldest hands on board never expert
enced so violent gale.
Capt. Skinner apprehends that the damage to
shipping by this gale, must, from its violence and
duration, have been very extensive. He is con-
frmed in this impression by having fallen IN with
masts, spars, and other parts of vessels imme-
diately after.
