Extract of a letter from Ilfracombe, Oct. 30.
"Friday evening arrived here from St.John's, Newfoundland, in nineteen days, the brig Patsey, of Dartmouth, John Matthews, master, who says, that on the 11th of September last, there arose a tempest of a particular kind - the sea rose on a sudden thirty feet; above seven hundred boats, with all the people belonging thereon, were lost as also eleven ships, with most of their crews - even on shore they severely felt its effects, by the destruction of numbers of people : in drawing the nets ashore they often find twenty or thirty dead bodies, and that it affords a most shocking spectacle."The Maria Whilhelmina, -----, from South Carolina to Gosport, is totally lost off Fyal.

COWES. November 9. Arrived : Harriott, White, William, Hartley, and Jane, Blandford, from Middleburgh; Unity, Ashton, from Gyon; Betty, Wilkin, from Sunderland; Jan Frederick, Marcus, from Oporto; Elizabeth, Williams, and Dairy Maid, Powell, from Rotterdam; and Fortune, Couch, from Fowey.ADDRESS from OLD SARUM.
WE the Mayor, Aldermen, Clergy, and no Inhabitants, of the imaginary town of Old Sarum,* with hearts (if we had any) filled with a due sense of the glories and wisdom of your Majesty's reign, and gratefully sensible of the blessings which we have tasted, as much as any corporation in England, from the mildness of your government; we therefore beg leave humbly to approach your Throne, and express our abhorrence of the unnatural rebellion which your Ministers have so judiciously provoked in North America : We advise your Majesty to prosecute the war with the same vigour that you have hitherto used, and we do not doubt but measures so wisely concerted, and judiciously executed, will have their due effect. And though your arms have hitherto been crowned with loss, disgrace, and ridicule, we do not doubt but the same armies, or greater, directed by the same Ministers and Councils, will easily get the better of those three hundred thousand cowardly traitors, who have seized all your Majesty's dominions in that part of the world, in spite of your regular troops, of your Scotch Governors and Custom House Officers, and in defiance of so many votes of your two sage and uncorrupted Houses of Parliament. We agree in sentiments with the loyal Jacobite addressers of Manchester, Liverpool, and Lancashire, and that commerce is a great derogation to a monarchic government, and unprecedented in former times; and we think with the incomparable Dr. Samuel Johnson, that Taxation is no Tyranny. We abhor the system of the Revolution with Dr. Shebbeare, Mr. Macpherson, and Sir John Dalrymple; and we hope that Canadian and Irish Roman Catholics, and even foreign Mercenaries, will be employed to cut the throats of all American Dissenters, for the sake of toleration, and for the advantage of the Protestant religion. We admire the re-establishment of Popery in Quebec, the extirpation of Juries, and the erection of military government in Canada and Georgia; and we lament that your Majesty should be likely to lose those Provinces, over which you had extended so fatherly a hand. We flatter ourselves from your Majesty's known piety and lenity, that the rebellious towns will be reduced to ashes, and the United Provinces laid waste; then we do not doubt but trade will revive, and all the mercantile towns in England become as rich and flourishing as your ancient and loyal town of Old Sarum.* Now a corn-field, where there is only one house, and that has no vote for Members.
LONDON, SATURDAY, Nov.11.
It is said that the examination of the great Quaker has had a wonderful effect upon the minds of the majority in a certain House; many were observed to turn pale at the account he gave, how well the Americans were provided for a long and tedious war with England; and when he declared how capable they were of making saltpetre, gunpowder, &c. casting cannon, and making small arms, the whole assembly became Quakers.BANKRUPTS.
