ITALTFJtX, {BTgvx fcvtix) November 24. ‘'N, AS a lUtUncholf contrail to the imeUigencrinwn Eu roa the ereateft dilllefe* to slate tbe dreadful fact of h Majefty'a ffop Tribune, of 44 gunSf -Capt. Barker. This fHip coming into the harbor on Tlwffday last (buck 00 die fends of Thrumfcap, The tide hemg ebbed every exertion to relieve, her proved meflfertual, and she remained there until 1 o’clock the fame* night, previous.to which time it blew a violent lieavy at e. e. e. Ihe guns, Except ode for ftgnals, and every weighty article, being thrown overboard, the ship thus relieved floated a little before high water, when the gate blew strongest ; her rudder having been knocked off, the (hip “leaking excefltvely, and Every thing in tlte grearefl confufi n, all attempts to gain the harbor were found imprartkj able. At this dreadful moment Lieuts. Campbell and North, of the Fu fibers* who had been on board to offer their assist ance, quitted tlte Ihip, intending to lie under her lee and wait the event; but the lea ran too high to admit of it. The fliip drifted dirertly before.the wind within a small di fiance of tlt craggy (liorc jail below Herring Give, whqre Ihe foundered, and, terrible to relate, (except 11 seamen and marines and one petty officer) every loul on board have perilhed! The number pf men belonging to tlie fliip is stated to have been upwards of 240; exchifive of which about 16 noiAommimoned officers and privates of tile H. N. S. re giment, Mr. Bruhuro of tlje Navy Yard, and, (we men* tion with peculiar regret) Lieut, Jame* of the N. S. regi ment, an amiable and deforving young officer, who had gone on board from motive* of humanity, met the fame fate. f Bojlon, December 21. The Renown, Rams, from ’ Newfoundland for Boston, was wrecked on Friday morning last on Milk Illand* call fide of Cape Ann; the crew got on fiiore, but the Ctptain was drowned. New York, January r. The boat in which a part of the crew of the fliip John escaped not beingjarge enough to contain the whole they were reduced to the painful ncetf fity of calling lots for the preference. The Captain, firft’ B'oatfwain, leamen, and lopalfengers, were destined to remain on board. The ffcrfon who gives this information was amongst die number of the unfortunate upon whom the lot fell. He, however, terrified with the melancholy profpert which pre lented kfelf, fpiung from the mast in order to gain the boat which had just before put off from the (hip; the crew hu manely received him on boards. This person informs that the Marquis La Fayette had dined several times on board the John whileVt Hamburgh, and had determined to take a paflage in her for this coun try ; but Come days previous to her failing Madame La TayetteV illncfs (the conference of her lufferings in the dungeon at Olmutz) compiled him to poflpone his voyage. The John lay on Demk’s bar, five miles from the Jersey fliorc, n&firly full of water, with her broadside to the tide, and the ice forming a bank roundJbei. Every ebb attempts are made from the shore to relie/o the diftrefled persons on board, but have hitherto been tinfucccfiful; they were so be repeated yesterday morning The people can plainly be difeerned from the fliore walking on the quarter deck, the only part of the veltcl now left them; their situation mull lx truly deplorable. January 2. The seven men belonging to the ship John who were iuppofed to be 101 l in the ice got on board the brig Bride, from Rotterdam, oat 86 days, for this port, and are landed at L-ewiftown. The brig afterwards went round to New York. The brig’ Gratitude, Clifton, from the Havana, is on shore to the l'outhward of Indian River. The tranlported-Deputies from France, Barthelemi, Pi chegru, &c. are arrived at Cayenne, S. A. They are lodged in ode houle, and are permitted to walk abroad under a guard. January 3. A letter from a refpertable Houle afifaavre, dated on the day of Capt. Type’s clofes with the following: w Although the American Commilfioncrs have not yet been admitted to the Directory we are per suaded there will be no war between the two nations; it is more likely that the United States will in future be ton fidered as a nation having no treaty wich us.*‘ Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Havre to a refpeciable mercantile House in this city y received by the Rosetta, from thence . • . .. / * Havre, 6th November, 1797. v ‘Kl'licre is now a projert of an absolute delceht on Eng land !

The advices from France art contradictory with regard to die profpert of war with Anterica, and therefore we conchlde tlie persons who give the information know nothing certain on tlx; fubjert.

The brig Paddy, O’Drifi 011, and fliip South Carolina, Robtrtfon, were to lull from London for this port, about 14 days after Mary. Rice was very low in London, only 1 Ms. Insurance on American veflcls very high—from 10 to 12 guineas. The FamrGjones, and ti e Knight, Morfey, % had ar rived at Hamburgh from this port. Capt. Smith, of the fliip Rainbow, lately belonging to this port, which has lieen condemned in France for want of a role d’etjuipage, came palTenger in the Mary. The fliip Charlotte, Hndfiiy, which was carried into Nantz, it was thought would be condemned. ‘The Juno, Walker, which was carried into France, it was fupjiofed would lx- cleared; lor though, the captofs had cleftroyed the role d’eqtiipage, the owner, who was in France, had received a copy from America, which would f be the means of clearing her. From a cursory perusal of the papers received by the Mary we do not find any article refj'edling our ComniiHi oners. One private letter fays they were in momentary expectation of hearing ol’ their bring ordered to leave Paris. ffA\ accounts agree that there is not the moft distant p.o fjie£l of peace between lingjand and France.
