Extract of letter dated

Conversng last ening with Capt Roldos of the Spa
nsh poacc Ronda he told that latter part of
July last being in the latitude of the Grand Banks he
deserted what he thought to be vessel and called to his
mate, who also thought it was small vessel. A little
while aterw ards they concluded might be fishing boat
and kept the vessel for it, and soon after seeing the
break against it, the captain fearful it might be arock
examined his charts but finding reef laid down any
where in that vicinity, and conjecturing II might be
wreck, bore down for it, and as they neared found
| it was the wreck of a large vessel burnt to the
waters edge When within halt cables length OF
| it, they hove the vessel too, lowered the boat, and
Capt Roldos went to roconnotre the wreck. He says
must have been very large vessel ana the thing which
first attracted his attention, two large columns OF
wood $50 he called them not very far apart painted black
about nine feet from the bettom and then white about
three ieet to where they were burnt OIL ana that there
were marks OF fire also the part lef Standing These
columns projecting above the rest of the wreck had
the appearance at distance of two small sails He also
the bottom of the vessel just under water several
very large tmbes. secured strongly together by iron
clamps and braces of very extraordinary size and from
these concluded that the wreck OF large steamer
and that this bed made 10 support the boilers He al

togoher, not more than four or five inches
apart the ends OF these as well as the flooring or ceiling
| in most places were very much charred.
The head and stern were gone at least the extreme
parts, and he could not tell how long she originally
but he paced the part remaining by stepping from one
timber to another and thinks to the best OF his recollcc-
ton it was about 100 feet long. He examined the wreck
|
which to identify her. but could find nothing and he
tried pry off of of the iron braces but without
| success.
Daring the voyage the occurrence passed out Of his
mind and his arrival in SPAIN he did not think to men

been stancheons and as any incident however remote
unfortunate steamer President Communicate the above
information that you may make any use of it you think
| proper.
That it the wreck of steamer, and that of large
sze both appear certain and have thought that perhaps
some well acquainted with the steamer might recog
nize iii the size Of the wreck her mbers the formation
of the bed, the unusual size and paint of the columns
stancheons the remains of the lost President give
you the description of the wreck, in the captains own
| words, as nearly as they can be translated.
He that the wreck at the waters edge was
that the copper her bottom still in good state Of
| preservation. H
took pains to go on board of his vessel to get her exac
| position at the time OF falling in with the wreck.
| The Spanish polacca Ronda, Jaime Roldos, master,
sailed from Havana July sa bound to Coruns; and in
her log book the Goth day OF the month"; is noted
the falling in with this wreck her latitude that day being
i23 ~ and her longitude So A3 w. of the meridian OF
| Cadz.
This wreck, we do moi hesitate to say, must have
been that of the il-starrcd steamship. All the par
ticuars given in the letter are almost conclusive to
that point. And it may be recollectcd by our
readers that this statement, with its facts and f.
gures nearly agrees with that given by Capt. Now
ant, of the brig Poutney, published several months
ago, in the Herald. We have consolation al
last, in knowing the fate of the President, and
those who left here in her but few months ago,
in the prime and buoyancy of lite and spirits.
