The only facts that have come to us concern
ing this terrible disaster, are received bv the
steamship Thomas Swan, Captain Post, which
arrived! Mt this port yesterday afternoon from
New York. Captain Post states that on the
18th Instant when about fifteen miles North of
Cape llattcrns, he spoke the Norwegian bar.
que Eloise, which had OF board forty persons
saved from the Central America. The persons
who spoke To Captain Post from the bnrruc
appeared TO have been an officer of the Cen
trail America. aud he stated that the steam.
ship foundercd on the 18th instant. and that
there were five hundred passengers OH board,
of whom only sixty were saved.
These Incagrc facts nrc all that were obtain
eel. We know nothing us to whether the
crew were saved, or on what other vessel are
the remainder Of the sixty passengers. Moth

America had ON board to the amount of 81 7uu,-
