Dec. 181 r. " We have, received accounts that the Englihi ffeip St. George, of 98 guns, commanded by Admi¬ ral Reynolds, and the Defence 74, Capt. David Atkins, were driven adiore on the morning of the 24th inlt. near Cape Ryffction, in the Lordfliip of Rinkiobing. The crew of the former is faid to have con¬ firmed of 850 men, and of the latter, of 550 men, not including the officers. Half an hour after the Defence had touched the ground, the whole went to pieces, and all the crew (excepting five feamen and one marine, who faved them- felves by holding pieces of timder) were drowned. Capt. Atkins rea¬ ched the more dead. The day after in the afternoon, there were feen from the land fomc part of the cab¬ in and poop of the St. George upon which were (landing many men. Part of the maft was cut away, and fomc men endeavoured to efcape on it; but it is conjectured that few have been faved, iince the waves and the current, with the wind comma: from the N. N. W. would to five themfdves on a raft but arc laid to have perilhed; and when accounts came away from Lemyig, intelligence had reached that place, that the St. George had totally gone down, and that only 1.2 men of the crew had been faved. The mip was upwards of 300 fathoms from the land. " The fix. men faved out of the Defence have, on examination, de¬ clared, that the iirft cauie of this misfortune was the Sr. George ha¬ ving lafc month loft her malt in a gale when otfTIelland,in the Belt ;• and confequcntly, when flic came into the North Sea, could not ea- fily be brought into ftays, or keep np with the llect which came out from Wingo, near Gottenburg, on the 1 fith of this month, and con¬ futed of the Victory of ico guns, Admiral Saumarez, Commander in Chief, St. George,' Dreadnought, Vigo, CrerTy, Onon', i Icro, and De¬ fence, befides fomc fmallcf fhips of war, and a fleet of about 150 fail of merchant vcffcls. As it was blow¬ ing a heavy gale Admiral Saumarez gave orders for the Defence and Crcify, to keep dole to* the St. George.

We lament to fay, that the mif- fortune which befel the Defence and St. Ceorgc, has been attcded by the lofs of upwards of 1400 brave men atnons; whom we have to enumerate the following crallant oiheers : Officers ih the St. George—Ad¬ miral Reynolds, Captain Guion, Lieutenants Napier, Place, Thomp- fon, Bramek Douce, Triftram, Riches, and Rcgers ; Tipper Flag Lieutenant ; J.

The Extra rmbl'rmcd on Satur-* day evening gains its principal im¬ portance in this place on account of the traitorous actor's having re- fided here. That he has caufed to be laid before Congrefs the papers alluded to cannot be doubted but that he was ever entruiled withany confidential agency by the govern¬ ment of this country, yet remains to be confirmed by fomethingmorc fublkantial than we are yet induced to believe is in the power of fuch a wretch to produce. Henry was fuppofed by many, immediately after coming to this place to be an hungryoffice fieker—hewasoonftant- ly intruding himfelfupon men of influence, refpecbability and public character ; and in this way he pro¬ bably obtained a correspondence which at the time was unmeaning as to its effect: on any government —but after being vamped up,might have made his iniquity merchant¬ able at the American Capitol. The price of Henry, report fays, was 25,000 dollars, a paifage to France in a national fhip and a right to draw for 75,000 dollars ' more. Should this report prove correct will it not be tnought the Finger of Napoleon is in this, and that Mora.
