Narrative of the lost of the Harrell, and the iiiferinp of the crevn. On the lOlli ult. the ship ll.irrett, of 850 tons, ('apt. Faragtr, sailed from St. John's New r..irn«wick, (timber loaded) for Liverpool. While proceeding on her voidge, on Tuesday the 2d Jan. in Int. 63 N long. 31 W. at eight P. M. it came on to blow a dreadful gnle from the westward. At two o'clock on Wednes day morning, ii being the master's watch on deck, it blew a complete hurricane, accompanied with rain and vivid (lashes •f lightning ; the ship, thro’the violence of the wind, end driven from her coarse by the ses, “ broached to,” and lav down on her beam ends. They were obliged to cut away the topsail sheets ; hut every exertion to bring her to, or before the wind, proted ineffectual, a:iJ she continued in the trough of the sea, the water pouring down the companion, so that every moment they expected she would upset. The two pumps were continually a\ work, but without effect. the water still gaining upon them by the .. .. , , , , . , cabin. In this state they continued nn l ? ,d . * he,r i,, ' 1,rk 80,1 ' mste,, 1 their boat which was soon alongside of them. The sea was so rough that ihc poon when it rained, and widen ev.lngj !.i the sprav were little Ireslmr than the [ spray itself: it wn* on '1 lutr*d.iy repre- j -enlod to the captain tint they nm?t sill| pori-li unless the dog wore killed fur sub- j listener. To this he at length agreed, and the animal being bled to death, the captain directed the mate (Mr M’lloiid, from whose information this narrative is drawn up) to serve every part out fairly and economically : w iiicli ho did by di viding the blond with a table spoon : three spoonful* to each man, and the liver, heart, and kidney* were divided into 15 shares each anil distributed for that day’s •ubsistence. About this time, the captain who had throughout suppressed the ex pression of hi* sufferings lc*t he should intimidate the men, became deranged— nl*bed upon deck, bid God bless his wife and children, spoke of a mutiny in the ship, and used otherincolierent language. Me was prevailed upon to go to his cot. where after 2 I hour* of insanity and suf- fering, he expired. The whole of the survivors now became so weak that only the mate, n robust youngman, and throe others could gland : these eteerod the vessel as well as they could towards the eait, the westerly gules still prevailing. As they conjectured they hod sailed, since water-logged, about(100 mile*, they were in hopes of seeing the land of Ire land, nr they would have given up every exertion for preservation : but on the af ternoon of Friday, the 11th day, it be came more calm, and the wind suddenly changing to the. eastward, blighted all their hoprs. They had not seen n vessel during the whole passage, anil a glimpse of hope rn*hi:ig upon them Hint some one mi*! t fall in their nay, they bulled up the fbrraail, made fast thetiller, and com- mltted themselves the whole of that night to the gniVlaoce of Providence. Pry this time three quarters of the dog was con sumed. At day break next moi ning, they saw with unexpected delight a vessel to leeward. The mate and the few who could drug their emaciated limbs, ma naged to set the foresail, ami with some pieces of canvas, made a sort of signal from the topmast rigging. As soon as the people in the vessel spied thorn they til day light, when, Id order to get her before the wind, the mizen and main mast* were cut away, By this time the water had reached the after peak, so that they gave up pumping as being altogether t .clcsr. Relieving tackles were boat had to make several trip* to re»rue all of th* survivor*. The wreck was of course abandoned, being then in lat. 45, N long 18, W a very great diil: ,n ce It was proviilenti.il thai the tiller four men to eecb ta-He en.J (from any land, two to the Wheel, to steer her as much as i'* 1 ' "•■’-d changed to the eastward, whir l, threw this vessel in their wry. ->s «•><* rn.xsiblc before the wind. The sea uo»v hurst over the vessel with great force and carried away all the mils oftlie poop but a few to which ropes were lashed : and to those they clung to save them selves from being washed overboard : evea the t.ifrail was wrenched up and -washed away. In this condition they continued, until the cabin beiog half foil of water, and these* makings clear pas sage over the deck, they were obliged to go upon the poop, the only part »f the xre-sel not continually under water.— About mid-day the Capt. procured from nn upper lo< ker in the cabin, a small bag of bread, a jar of rum, a jar of gin, and a half firkin of butter, but these with the exception of the gin were washed over- boat it by the sea. The g lie now bless with increased violence, and the sea run ning mountains high, made a clear pas sage over the main deck : broke through the stern and through the bends. The deck timber, consisting of largefiogs, was washed away : the ring holts being torn from the decks, and the atanebeons hro ken down, the vessel would undoubt edly have gone to pieces had she not been kept a* easy os possible hy steering before the wind. All this day (Wed nesday) they had nothing whutever to •at and were in coatinu.il apprehension cf being washed away. On the following day the gale began to abate a little,1 eo that though drenched every moment by tbe sea, they had some shelter from the colJ under the poop, where they piled up cables, wet sails and staves to keep themselves out of the water, fc on which they lay down. The front part of the poop was entirely beaten out by tbe sea. They then thought a fire would serve to revive them, but bad no means of stri king a light, or of procuring afiy combus tible substance amidst the geueral tor rents that surrounded them. Most of the crew, so unexpected was the disaster, had neither huts nor stock- jogl, and their clothes were instantly soaked with salt water. “ There was now nothing left on hoard,’’ says tbe mate, “ tbut could b* of any relief to us : neither meat, drink, nor clothing ; ex- cept a barrel of pork and a tierce of beef, which were so-salt, that though some tasted a mouthful, others prudently de sisted. ’’ Tfie ship from being water logged was very unmanageable : during the day they steered by compass, and at night by tbe stars as well as they coulJ guess towards the east. When ihe sea became high, there being a continuance of gales, they were driven to the poop, where they held on by the rope*. This slay u'si they had nothing to eat. In this dreadful condition they remained for some days. I’art of a cask of water was gut at, but it was at first two thirds salt, end latteilv no fresher than the ware that washed over them. It was however grooriillv drank except by two or three of the men, and was eagerly resorted to by llio«e in particular w ho afterwards died, who asked fer it as fa-t as it could be handed to them. On the Friday night would otherwise have passed them dur ing the night. She proved to he the Ann, of New-Vork, Captain Crocker, hound to this port. “ Every thing,” says tha mate of the Barrett, “ was done for us which medicine, meat, drink, and hos pitality could supply, and my own lather could not have treated me with greater kindness than captain Crocker.” The Aon arrived here on Friday night last, n week after taking the sufferers from the wreck, who, during this time, with the exception of one or two were unable to vise from their hammock*. They are all of them so weak and emaciated, hav ing their limbs also broken out in ulcers, owing to the continued action of the salt water for Heven long days, that they will be unable fur some weeks, even with every attention to pursue their perilous vocation ; ami being mostly Strangers in Liverpool, and having lost all but the remnants on their backs, are in a most destitute condition. It may alio be re marked, that owing to a law (instituted we believe by tha under-writers as au inducement to mariners to abide by their vessel to the last) they will not receive one farthing of wages : although We think such a law, in a case like this, *' wculd he more honored in the breach than the observance." These circumstances loud ly appeal to the benevolent m behalf ol these poor fellows, belonging to n class of ineu, who iu war art; tbe safeguard of their country, and who in peace pursue a hazardous employment, in order to ad minister to our comforts and our luxury. The turrivors are twelve in number.— Among these we are happy to tneuiion Joseph Caldweli, son of Mr. IVm. Cald well, of F ro.Ubam, Conveyancer.

The Emperor of Russia might he the person to revive the scenes of the ten years which followed Napoleon’s Coronation, hut there is nothmg in his general conduct and policy to strengthen the opinion th it he would, like Napoleon, wage a war for the professed object of conquering Europe, if he believed himtclf posHctieiul of power enough for such an achievement.

In the I louse of Commons, the Marquis of Tavistonk gave notice, that on Mon day .le’nniglit he would move a resolu tion, expressive of the sen.e of the House on the conduct of ministers towards her Majesty. Sir \V. Lemon presented a petition from Truro, praying the re*ti.rsWor, of the queen's tutne to the * petition wn* praying inquiry into the conspiracy a- aaitisl llie i.|ueeii.—Other petitions were presented to the same eflecl. Mr. Western *aid Hie country had h-en in*ulled by lal*e nnd perjured en demic, and by a case ofgios. conspiracy, and he wished to know wliethe. the No ble Lord (Casllerragh) intended .any in quiry—Lord Casllereagh *aid he would npt be dragged by high-sounding phrases into a premature tli»rM**ion ot a subject yet to he debated. He should Hierclbre decline to answer the question. ( on- sidering the disinclination ot Hie other side formerly to enter mlo the subject while the proceeding wa* pending in the Lords, it wo* singular that they were so anxious now to meet the question.— General Ferguson had moved la«t Ses sion for papers on the subject, but bad lieen told by Lord Castlereagli that the time wa? not mine, lie iri-lied to know it the Noble Lord would now pro duce those papers.—Lord Castlereagh replied that if ihe time was now come, table, with w’ld.h Fovepe was ibn iM.k*.

Irnm ihe nnlil.ox liespoti-io of an lutlividusl issuing I nun the revolution, ought m lie ?ei ( against the revolutionary power whirlilind, ju-t devdopvd itself. Tlie sovereigns as- j arhihled at Troppau ventured v ho(tslhstj they wouhl niton th'ir olden, nod they 1 would take fur their guides, in this great cn- j terprise, the trrnties which restored peace to i Rumps, and have united its nations togetli-! er.” The paper further staled that, *• As tlie • system to tie followed had no other foOml.i-J tlon than trratiea already existing, they had I no doulit of tin- assent of Hie courts of I’aris 1 and London." Ilovv far the conclusion ot thi. pa|wr was consistent with the other part* of it, it was not liis intention to discuss, any more titan the principles upon which the de claration was founded. The allied sove reigns assumed Ihe l ight of interfering with the affairs of other nation*, as founded upon existing treaties, to which Ihe c uni ts of Paris and London were parties, and upon that as sumption "as founded a confident expecta tion that the measures now adopted hy the allies would have the assent of those courts. He wished to know from the noble earl Whether that paper had been communicated the lion. Gentleman might move for the ito him, and whether the expected concur- 1 rence of the court of London in the mea sures of tile allied sovereigns was authorised hy any conduct vn the part of this govem- papers. .Mr. liemiet repeated the charge of conspiracy, and Lord t’nstlereagh said it was for those who made tlie charge to make out their case. The Marquis of Taviiteok asked if Ministers intended to propose any reme dy for the di<tres*en of the country ? Lord Cnstlercagh expressed his sympa thy with the iMitl'crings of the people, but he was not aware that Ministers were in possession of nnv measure which would be likely lo atloril relief. Numerous petitions were laid npnn the table, culling for enquiry into Hie conspiracy against the (|ueen, for the restoration of her name to the liturgy, and for the impeachment of Minister*. Mr. La jab ton, in presenting a similar petition from lialc*head, called upon the House lo pay in these times the utmost attention to petitions from the country, complaining of lb use who claimed to he the exclusively loyal mid conttitutional. Nineteen twentieths of the people were now opposed lo the measures of minis ter*. lie prayed to God, that the indif ference of the Noble Lord nnd his col- ment The Fart of Liverpool su'd, he had not the least dilfieully in answering the question oftlie noble earl. Tlir paper lo which he re ferred was he believed an incorrect cn v of a real paper which did exist. However, he had no difficulty in stating. In the first plaee, that there were no treaties of the nature al luded to iu Hist paper. Iu the next place, he was able to assure tbe noble earl, that the court of London was no party to any pro ceeding notv in progress with refern nee to Naples. Ill consequence of a paper, similar to Hint referred to Gv the noblv earl, « paper bad been addressed by this government to the different powers of Europe, sshuh br should have nn objection to lay before the house. That paper would explain the whole policy pursued hv this gnermnunt with re ference to the affairs of Naples. He repea ted. that he had not the “lightest objection to the. production of that document, though he could wish, as a matter of convenience, that tlie noble earl would out mote for it that evening. J'.arl Gray expressed hirnec i,'perfectly «a- ti c fied »v ith the answer of tho nohle esrt.— He certainly should not move for Ihe pro duction of the paper to-night, after wliat had league* might not lead to the mott duns trou* canfcqtirnccr. Lord Ca«tlereach j noble earl, but lie Imped that declared, (hut he had expressed no sen- 1 If:. xpressed timent* disrespectful lo tho people of England. Mr. Bennet laid on the table n timilir petitioni from WilLliire. il« look thi* been proved against her Majesty. Air. Tcr.ruiuii iu l.vyiug oo the table a niuilar petition from Great Grimuby, remarked that he had understood last night from the Nohle Lord, that the only proposition ministers would bring forward regarding the l^ueen, related to the provision for her resilience, (hear, hear, from Lord Castlereagb)—Mr. Hume laid npnri the table many petitions from Scotland to the same effect. Mr. Fstcourt laid upon the table the Devizes petition to the same purport. Some discussion ensued, as the Hon. Member declared that the pe tition was only signed by 400 people of little consequence. Sir Francis Burdett said that until to-night lie hud not dis tinctly understood that .Ministers had gi ven up all further prosecution of the li'ieon. If so, it wouhl give the country great satisfaction and tranquility. In fu ture it would not be said that the slight est aspersion remained on her charac ter. He hoped, therefore, that there would be no further discusfion here, and that the King would at once restore the C^iieen's name to the Liturgy. Lord Casllereagh begged it might not he tin- lerstood that ministers had changed their determination. The Bill ofl’ains and Penalties had been withdrawn without n- ny intention of submitting another oica- atire of the same character. To a ques tion from Sir F. Burden, lord Ciwtle- reogh repeated what he had said before. Mr. Brougham asked whether the Nohle Lord meant that nn enquiry wa* to he instituted against the Queen, but that all proceedings in the way of punishment were to he discontinued. Lord Castle- rcagti would not anticipate the argument on the subject. Lord lohn Knsxtll said, Ministers hod refused to insert the Queen's name in the liturgy, because proceedings of a ciitni- nal nature were pending: now they w ere terminated. Government was in consis tence bound to restore tho Quern's name In tbe liturgy. Lord Castlcrcag'u gave no reply. Alderman Jloygate, in presenting 9 similar petition from Sudbury, said, ’ u e regretted the original omission t>r the Queen’s name from the liturgy ; but th and Ue confidently exported from the answer oftlie nohle earl, that that paper w.Mild Con tradict the infrrvnre* drawn by the courts of I'rtershnrgh, Berlin hud Vienna : end shew tiial limy nnd nn right whatever to this government. 7'h flflWsf t.iwiwif - It will givem mnxt complete contradiction t» any suvdt belief. rnniLV'Tov, March 21. VERT LATE TItO.V| KM.I.A.ND. By the fast sailing “tup I am 1 capt. Berry, arrived Ibis murufng, in 40 days from Liver pool, we have receurd Liverpool papers to the 7th, and London to the Oth Febuary, both inrlu»ire. The must important intelli gence they furnish, is tlie determination of lint British government not to interfere with the sovereigns aanamhied at Layback, on tha internal affairs of any of the nations on the coniine nt. Of this they hive been officially noticed hy the British government. A let ter from tlie continent asserts that the old king of Naples had peremptorily refused to agree to any alteration* in the constitution of his country recently adopted, and that the vleliherations of the congress had consequent ly been brought fo a close, and that orders wera immediately despatched to Milan to put the troops in motion. Monday the tilth of January, was thn first anniversary of 111* accession of George the Fourth to the throne of England. It was celebrated hy religious nervicea, and by the most extravagant “ merry winking,” in vari ous parts of Hie kingdom. Large donations were movie to th* poor, on tha occaainn, by the nobility and gentry. On the tutli January, Lord A. Hamilton moved in tlis house of commons, “That the order of council of the 14th February, taxn, which v ..rinded lbe name of the Queen from the liturgy, was ill-advised Slid inexpedient." On this motion « warm debate took place, which was dually dvcidrd—for the motion. 20B ; against it 3to—majority in favor of ministers, 101.

Fai /.innen(,»_.TIift provision fur her majesty has been settled nt £>0,u(J01. a veer. I Lis wnt an occasion, nt might have been expected, for the Queen's part’y to traverse tho old ground, and to reiterate their attacks upon the Minis try. The fate of lord Hamilton's mo tion was again nnd again adverted to ; anil the deep mortification of the oppo sition ot the failure of all their hopes as placing it there now was quitu a differ ^ t° place was made milliciently apparent, ent question, lie blamed the letter of To the grant of 60,000/. per an 1. an li the queen to the king. It became tbe i nn-ndment, proposing a lower sum, was made, and supported hy *oni“ of the country gentlemen, who argued, and certainly not without weight, that the in- fluencu obtained over Hie Queen, by cer tain persons, rendered it doubtful, whe- tlier the money might not he applied to mischievous purposes. It was also re marked, with burning indignation, that Bcrgami was living in a style of great splendor nt Paris, in which be had no visible way ot supporting himself, but irorn the Queen’s bounty. This w ,ij but feebly denied mi the other side ; but it isn suhjert certainly very worthy of in quiry ; for, infatuated as many' of tbe Queen’s partisans may be, iv« should suppose that they are n<d. in eSery case, so tar lost to right fecliug.as to ivi*b tlu public money to he expended upon thi* up-tart menial.

Hume vindicated her majesty from these general charges, which, with warmth, ha termed unmanly and un generous, and justified the Queen’s let ter. Mr. I ley gate rose again, and was speaking when cur reporter left the house. J.txv*RT 85. F.arl Grey rose, to'put » question to the nnblvv lord opposite, to which h't ihmbtvd whether he hhiiidd sneered 111 obtaining an answer, ns lie had lieen unsurres-ful on a (atvs VH'i'nsiow. The untile earl must la: a- ware that a certain declaration had appear ed in the public journals, purporting In he a declaration of tbe allied sovereign* at Trop- pail, atldre-seil to the different powers of Europe—and anion; other places to which tht iloi ninent had been sent, the senate of Hamburg had been particularly mentioned.
