LATE FROM KEY WEsT.-The steamship lsa-
bel arrived at Savannah on the 18th ult. from
Key West. She brought particulars of the
wreck of the brig Charles, and the accident to
the ship Prince de Jonvle A letter to the
Savannah News says that on the morning of
the 2Sth of May the brig Charles, of New York,
Hammond, mas ter, from New Orleans bound to
Sagua La Grande, Cuba, in lat. "a deg. 90 min,
long SO deg. 30 min, was discovered to be in a
sinking condition, there being six feet of water
| in the hold At2P. NJ. the ship N. Thompson
hove to near the brig and sent boat to her as
sistance. twas found necessary to abandon the
brig immediately. The wind blowing strong at
the time and heavy sea running, it was impos-
sible to save any thing with the exception of the
personal luggage of those on board. At 5, p. NJ,
made sail on the ship by the wind. AT 40
minutes past six, lost sight of the brg-sup-
posed she went down, rs she WAS fast sinking
when abandoned.
The ship Prince dc Joinvie, Adams, master,
from New Orleans for IIavre, struck on Alga-
| tor Reef on Saturday, the l4th ult, at half past
0 p NJ, and remained ashore until half past next
morning The weather being mild, she took no
assistance from the wreckers. Through the
strenuous exertions Of the mate, she was extri-
Gated from her perilous condition with but little
damage she proceeded on her voyage direct in
charge of the mate. The captain had been con-
fined below by sickness for sixty days. Cargo
consisted of cotton, indigo, slaves, &C., ard
specie to the amount of $4,000.
The same letter says that the schooner Yes
per, Staples master, passed Key West on We'd
nesday the IL tn ult, from Texas bound to Mat
anzas Rumor said she had arms and ammun-
ton on board but it was impossible to ascertain
this fact positively, as she was anchored in The
stream some distance from town, and remained
in port only few hours.
The operations on the light house on Carys-
fort Reef have been suspended for the coming
summer. The work is now nearly completed
and in a condition to recei the lantern 1t is
apprehended that the lighthouse will not be
lighted for year to come, the general impress
sion being that the suit Of repeyin, now pend
ing conce rning the lights, will not be decided
before that time. Lieut. Meade will return in
November next, to superintend the completion
of this structure The government schooner
Susan was to leave for Philadelphia on the Odd,
ult., in charge of j. w. James, esq, the engineer
and draughtsman of the work at Carysfort.
Every thing was quiet at Key West in re-
gard to the late Cuba affair. The general i'm
preston prevailed that the expedition is aban-
doned only to certain extent, and that the
movers in it are only waiting for more favor

they have been so long struggling. The con-
