hip,crecks.--The ship seen on Saturday of
the Highlands. by the brig Dawn, reported yes
terday as the Superior. was no doubt the Fabius,
Russell from Amsterdam, of and for this port,
which is believed to have been the vessel that got
in contact with the Lycursus, and carried away
her foremost and buwsprit. Capt. Bennett, trolh
St. Thomas, informs that he was in CO. with the
same described ship IN Saturday, and on Sunday
morning saw her on shore at Barnegat, broadside
on. There is but little doubt that his will prove
to be the fine ship Fabus, owned BY p. Harmo-
nv. Esq. She is supposed to have on board the
crew of the Iycurgas. We understand hat she
has but little cargo.
1t will be seen bv the report Of Captain Ben

The schooner went on stern foremost, and struck
verv badly. A lady of Boston, (name not recol

The Captain, lady, and three hands reached
the shore in safety, though much frozen. The

by whom they were made as comfortable as cir
cumstances would permit. The mate and tho
two deceased hands were buried on the beach -
