We have nothing of interest from the Co..

most distressing accounts of the disaster by the

property lost is also great Some Of the oldest
underwriters saw that the gale was the most
severe thew ever knew. 4 report prevailed, on
the authority Of letter from Ostend OF the Sd.
that an American ship was ashore at Dunkirk.
and that she had 1870 passengers, all OF whom
were drowned. The London evening papers Oh

iron by the French government, considerable
quauti,ies OF British iron have been shipped
for France, and this seems likely to become a
valuable trade.
