being vet in full force we have no from the coast
We learn, however, by the SemaPhore at the High
lands thst the unknown brig ashore near the Ocean

The plot-boat New-York came up to Quarantine
Yesterday morning and reports that the 18th inst.
at , p. M, they boarded the brig Golden Lead, from
New-Oreans. They saw her again on the morning OF
the 18th at clock, a: anchor on the Outer Middle.
The Golden Lead cleared from New-0reans Dec. 10,
and is commanded by Capt. johnson. 1t Is probable
that the above brig is the ashore near the Ocean
House, which has gone to pieces, no doubt with the
loss of all OF board Ths is the general opinion down
town. As the pilots boarded her, it is probable that
one Of the pilots Of the New-York WAS board when
