Wheat and Flour. ‘The decline in prices in Paris. as weil as in all the internal districts, has erentod a depressed feeling. and during the past week the transactions in American flour have been on a very lim- ited scale, consisting of only 3500 bbls at £33 per bbl for Philadelphia, and f 36 to 36 50 for Genesoe, in » sound state. aud £29 50 to 31 per bbl for New Orleansallround, —Wheat has also undergone a decline, the average price of home growth at the last Montivilliers market being 153 per sack.making a fall of f40n the preceding quota- tion.

[Frem the Mark-lane Express, Aug. 30.] It is with sincere regret we have to announce several further failures, In the early part of the week the in- telligence was reoeived in London that Messrs, Dickaon Co , of Belfast, had suspended payment; the liabilities of thiv firma are to a heavy amount, ant a portion of the losses falls on London houses, On Wednesday Meas Lyon wud Finny. of Liverpool, stopped ; and on Friday the firm of Vir.

Later in the week the advance on flour could not be maintained; still a large amount of businese was done on Friday, the best brands of western canal bringing 26s Gd, and secondary serts 248 to 26s per bbl. Owing to the unfavorable reports from Ireland relative to toes, Indian corn excited a good deal of attention at Liverpool on Friday, but it was necessary to accept low terms to effect sales. Farmers being still busily ocou- fields, little time bas been afforded to thrash or bring new corn to market. and the supplies at the leading towns in the agricultural districts have been quite moderate; the quantity brought forward has, nevertheless, proved more than equal to the demand. ‘and prices have undergone further depression. as well at the different shinping ports on the east coast as at the principal markets in the interior. The quality of the new wheat is stated to be inferior to the growth of last ear but, judging by the welzht per bushel, which is allowed to average from 60lb. to 64lb., we are inclined to think that there is not much reason for complaint. Our letters trom Scotland and Ireland inform us that the weather had been fully as favorable in thos» coun- tries as with us; and with the excéption of potatoes— which, as already intimated, were believed to have been extensively attacked by the disease of last year—the crops promised uncommonly well. A small’ parcel or two of new Irish wheat have already arrived at Liver- pool, of fina quality and in good condition. Though the arrivals of wheat coastwise into London have not been by any means large. only 3,148 quarters ving been received up to this (Saturday) evening, the pply has proved amply sufficient to satisfy the de- mand, and business at Mark-lane bas remained in avery dull state. The few parcels exhibited on Wednesday by land-carriage samples from Easex and Kent, were placed with dificult: id the turn was decidedly in favor of the buyer On Friday there was scarcely anything fresh up. but the millers were even less inclined to buy than earlier in the week; and factors head anxious to realize, prices 18 to 28 per quarter below the currency of Mon- day last were in partial instances accepted. We conti nue to receive liberal supplies of wheat from abroad, up- wards of 28,678 quarters having again come to hand this week. The London warehouses, which a few months ago were almost cmpty, aro now well stored; indeed, gra- nary room is becoming scarce. The transactions in foreign wheat have throughout the week been on a re- stricted scale, the town millers having refused to pur- chase more than absolutely beeen re 4 for their immedi- ate wants, and the country demand having rather fallen off than increased. The tales effected on Wednesday were at terms barely equal to those previously obtained, and on Friday a reduction of 1s, per quarter was pretty gen- erally acceded to; notwithstanding which the purchases were of quite a retail character. Town-niade flour has been very difficult of disposal, the comparative cheapness of American having greatly interfered with the mle of that of home manufacture; the top price has remained nominally unaltered, but esuntry marks have been offered at irregular rates, The consumption of Amvrican flour has been extensive for some weeks past, and as only 14,492 barrels bave arrived during the last eight days, the stocks on the spot have been diminished; the best brands have commanded 268 per barrel, and secondary sorts have sold at from 238 to 35s. per barrel. It is {uipossible to say what quantity may still be on passage from the United States aud Cana- da to this country, but there can be no doubt that the tone of tue recent advices from Great Britain will have the effect of checking further shipments. ‘The receipts of English barley have been quite mode- rate; but more liberal su plies being expected so soon as harvest operations shall have been brought to a close, buyers have shown no anxiety to purchase. Tho few lots of new brought forward, have, however, commanded about the same terms as on Monday. Of inferior fo- reign barley there is an abundonce on the market; and comparatively little being just now required for feeding, it bas been almost impossible to make sales to any ux: tent. Inthe absence of business of importance, it is difficult to give quotations; there can be no doubt, however, that importers would gladly have madea fur. ther concession, if, by so doing, they could havesucceod- ed in placing large lots. Quotations of malt have undergone no change requir- ing notice, more firmness having been shown by hold- ers of this article than might, under all eircumstances, have been expected. A slight increase has taken place in the arrivals of home grown oats, 672 quarters having come to hand from our own const, and 933 quarters from Ireland; from the latter quarter we may calculate ‘on soon receiving some quantity of new. With this prospect before us, and with continued large arrivals from abroad, the trade has remained in an exceedingly depressed state. On Wednesday Russian oats were offered 6d. per quarter below Monday’s rates, still the dealers acted wit great caution; and this was also the case on Friday, though a further abatement of 6d. per quarter was in some in- stances submitted to. Very good Riga h: been sold at 208 to 21s, and some of the out-of conditioned car- goes have been forced off at 178. to 18s. to 18s. per qr. in beans there has not been much passing, and prices have undergone no change requiring notice. Very few new peas have appeared at market, and last Monday’s advance has been maintained. The finer kinds of Indian corn, which relatively high, have been wholly negle: inferior sorts have been taken toa fai prices, for pig feeding. ‘The reports from the northern countries of Europe continue to give very favorable estimates of the probable result of the harvest Letters from, Dantsic of the 21st inst. inform us that the weather had almost unin. terruptedly fine, and that a considerable portion of the crops grown in theimmediate neighborhood bad already been secured; whilat the advices from Upper and Lower Poland repretented the harvest prospects ag highly pro- mising. Under these circumstances and with continued dull accounts hence, hardly anything had been dono in the corn market. The very reduced state of stock— there being then only about 800 lasts in gri caused holders to exhibit considerable firmness. id the best high mixed qualities, weighing 621bs, were then held at 563 to 674 per quarter, and secondary deseriptiona from 523 to 558 per quarter, free on board, Whilst the grain crops were ge well spoken of, potatoes were rapidly going off, the dizease of the last two years having again attacked that root extensivel: This circumstance had in some measure influenced the price of rye. and geod 56 1b to 67 1b qualities were held at equal to 35s to 368 per quarter. From Konigsberg we have also advices of the 2st. which give a similar account of the probable result of the harvest to that contained in our Dantsic letters The weatber had for some time been, and was then, very fine, and an abundant yield of grain was confidently e<- pected. From Rostock we learn that the greater proportion of the wheat grown in that neighborhood had been safely housed; and nearly the whole having been carted during fine weather, an excvilent crop, both as regards quantity and quality, was calculated on. From Hamburgh «ur advices aro of Tuesday's date.—— Owing to unfavorable reports from Holland and Belgium respec’ ing thy potato crop, rye had excited a good deal of attention; but in wheat scarcely anything had been done. A few small parcels of new red Upland had been brought to market, of very superior quality, weighing 6344 lbs to 644 lbs per bu hel ‘I'he price demanded had been 48s to 40s, but there had not been much doing for export at the rates named, nthe French markets wheat appears to have rather risen in value, owing to the smallness of the supplies. — The latest reports from Marseilles inform us that a firm- er tone had been assumed by sellers. From other porta in the Mediterranean the acconuts aro not #0 dull as might have been expected; at the same time no great extent of business appears to have been anywhere done.

Maxcursten, Friday, September 34.—There is no im- provement to notice in our market. During tho week it has remained dull and inactlvo, buyers acting with ex- treme caution, and confining their purchases to. the most limited scale povsible. Though a olightly increased disposition has been evinced here and there to operate inc rtain descriptions of cloth, the general feeling has been ons of want of confidence. Prices, however, are firm; sellers being resolved rather to produce less than to concede in price.

J By the arrival of tne steamship Britannia at Boston, from Laverpool,we have seven days later from Liverpool, and five days later from Lon- don. The advices by this arrival are more fa- vorable than those received by the Union, and more definite in relation to the financial and commercial movements of the United Kingdom. It is true there have been additions to the list of failures, and theamount of liabilities has reach- ed a very large sum; but there appears to be a much more buoyant feeling among our mer- chants, in consequence of the removal of the doubt and uncertainty which had become so in- tense. The commercial classes are more dis- posed to look all things boldly in the face, than to remain in ignorance of the actual condition of their affairs. When we know the worst, we ean govern ourselves accordingly. There is nothing more annoying to the mercantile classes than to be in momentary expectation of losses, without anything definite as to the source from which they will come. 5 We annex a list of failures in the principal cities of Europe, within the past two months.

Bowsny Turaree.—The Bowery Theatre re-opened for the winter campaign last evening, with an excellent stock company, and bearing evidence that during the recess the enterprising manager was not idle. From “turret to foundation stone” it has been repainted and redecorated, and considerable alterations have been made tothe scenery. The boxes are beautifully refitted and reseated with soft cus'vions, and an improvement made to the entrance to them, which was much needed. Instead of being connected with the lobby, and forming pat of it, as formerly, causing the noise in the street to heard and to disturb the performances, it has been neatly partitioned from it. New chandeliers from top to bottom, have been provided—oil cloth has been laid on the floors; and though last. not least, a splendid drop ourtain, exhibiting an exciting scene in Mexico, in which the American armssuccessfully contended against tremendous odds, was presented to its patrons. Alto- ether, the Bowery presented « refreshing appearance jast evening, and we hope that the manager will meet the reward which his efforts to please so eminently de- serve.

Cenrarvine Course, L, I—Trorrixe.—Yesterday vas a very ungenial day—a cold, raw wind blowing during the greater part of it, rendering @ ride to the race track extremely unpleasant. Yet, notwithstanding all disadvantageous circumstances, the course was tended by the usual number of the “old familiars, who appear never to suffer an opportunity of enjoying their favorite amusement to escape them. The lower- ing aspect of the heavens might have warranted a postponement of the sport, but the proprietor of the Centreville seems always determined, after advertising to give a purse, to have a race come off, thus avoiding disappointment to his patrons; and although he may be a lover at times, still the disposition to be punctual must, in the end, receive its proper reward. The sports yesterday were not of the first order—matches, general- ly, not making the close and exciting contests that are witnessed in contentions for purses, because, in a majo- rity of instances, they are made during mom of irritation and excitement, while for regular purses pags are seldom entered unless their reputation for speed give some promise of success. ‘The sports on the pre- sent occasion would have substantiated the above as- sertion, had all the horses started for the purse an- nounced—the two matches being scarcely worth notic- ing.

Rowett (W.) & Co.. Sampson, Langdale & Co. Roux. Ac ss... s. Woodley, W.&J.. We find nothing in the public accounts of the amount of the assets of these concerns, and no- thing very definite as to the amount of liabilities. There are some conjectures relative to the pro- bable dividends of W. R. Robinson & Co. and Alexander & Co. It is stated that the former will pay 12s. to 15s., and the latter 63. to 8s. onthe pound. We have our fears that most of say that the performances were in every way deserving ofthe compliment, They were, indeed, excellent, and gave general satisfaction, if loud applause is any crite- rion, Mr, Rice will appear again this evening in“ Jum- bo Jum” and the “ Virginia Mummy,” and Mr. Neafle will perform William Tell, or the hero of Switzerland. Miss Beloraine will also perform a grand fancy dance, Patmo’s Orena Hovse.—The Ravels, with the ballet of “ Giselle,’ and the pantomime of “Godenski,” at- tracted lastnight a crowded house. It was but just, for they gave their performance in the most elegant style. Madame Leon Javelli, and Gabriel Ravel danced and act- ed with real talent. The bill of this evening is very at- tractive, indeed. The entertainment will begin with the English farce * Boots at the Swan;” after which the these concerns will tura out no better. There is no doubt but that the losses by these houses will full heavily upon houses in this country ; but we trust, and are induced to be- lieve, not toan extent sufficient to create many, ifany, insolvencies. If the failures do not in- crease much—if the bulk of bankruptcy has taken place, we may not suffer so much as at first anticipated. Suppose an average dividend of 10s on the.pound is paid by each of the houses con- nected with this country, and the liabilities of these houses amount to £3,000,000, there will be adeficiency of one and a half millions sterling, equal to seven and a half millions of dollars.— This amount distributed throughout this coun- try, would not fall very heavily upon any sec- tion, and would not amount tothe aggregate profits on the shipments of breadstufls for the past year. , The acceptance of a large amount of exchange drawn upon Prime, Ward & Co. upon Overend, Gurney & Co., hasrelieved many holders of these bills, and placed the drawers in a more favora- ble position. We have seen darker days than these, and look forward with a’great deal of hope, believing that we shall come out of these difficulties much better than anticipated. The Foreign Mails. The English mails, by the steamship Bri- tannia, were brought to this city, yesterday, by a special train, under the charge of T. M. Pomeroy, Esq., Assistant Postmaster at Boston, and reached the New York Post Office about 9 o’clock. When we considerthat the boat which conveyed them hither was aground for several hours in Greenport Bay, the run was made in excellent time. Mr. Moore, the British Mail Agent, accompanied the train, and brought on the English despatches. Dr. Coorrr Sare.—By a letter received in this city from Lieutenant Sears, of the second artillery, dated 24th August, we learn that Dr. Cooper and the twelve dragoons who left Capt. Well’s command, for the purpose of joining Ma- jor Lally, and informing him of the approach of reinforcemen.s, and who was supposed to have tallen into the hands of the Mexicans, reached the train at Cerro Gordo in safety on the twenty- third ult. This letter is the only one received that mentions this intelligence, which we are sure will be gratifying to the relatives and friends of the Doctor, and the dragoons, as well as to the whole of the American people. Tuk Steam Sniv Wasutnaton.—This splen- did vessel now lying at her berth, No. 5 North River, will finish loading, it is expected, either to-night or to-morrow morning, having, we be- lieve, nearly her fall complement of freight. The passenger list looks exceedingly well for this season of the year. She will sail positively on Thursday the 23d inst., at 12 o’clock. a Mnutany Movenrnts.—The ship Sweden, with about one hundred United States troops, bound to California, Pacific {Ocean, under the command of Lieut. Thomas E. Ketcham, got under way from opposite Fort Hamilton, early on Saturday morning, the 18th instant, and stood out to sea. Ilxautu or tie Crty.—There were only two hundred and sixty-one deaths in this city last week. bY Musica), Arouto Rooms—Tue Concert or tur Frencn Be- NevoLENT Soctery took place lust evening. A very large audience was in attendance, which was comnosed of the most respectable French families and all the distinguish- ed foreigners now sojourning in our city. It was the greatest concert of the season, and the celebrated Herz was heard, after long absence from our musical halls. This excellent pianist surpassed himself, if possible, in the grand fantasia on “Luicia di Lammermoor”? The execution of this plece was really wonderful—the skilful fingers of this elegant composer run over the clavier of his pianoforte with w dexterity, a skill, harmony, {m- possible to express, The audience was delighted, ns- tonished. by the style of the French composer, and rewarded, him with unbounded applause.— Tho second piece of this artist, “La Parisienne,” was aleo received with enthusiasm. The chorus was quite effective ; it was original andimposing. Mons. Dubreul, the barytone of the New Orleans company, sang three beautiful morceaux,chosen from among the compositions of the greatest maestri, which he rendered with an ex- pression, a charm worthy of notice. The grand aria from the the * Favorite” of Donizetti: “ Pour tant Wamour ne soyes pas ingrate” was suog with mirable feeling, as was also the aria from “ Ni of Verdi, and for the song, he gave in the li. place of M, Genovesi, who was taken ill yesterday afternoon di Pico sang in two piecva, one from * Ax the other @ barcarolle of H to the court theatre of heusen, the variations by De Bériot on the cabaletts of the * Somnambula,” in mediocre stylo. We think, however, that this gentle- man bad some fear.and we hope he will take his revanche another time, for he possesses the qualities of a good artist, We cannot forget Mr. Etienne, the able macstro #9 well known in New York, who presided at the piano forte with great ability. Mr. Herz will soon give another concert, with the famed Sivori, who arrived ia town yes- terday morning, from his tournée through the States. ITAL, STATEN IsLAND.—Tho weekly re- institution, from Sept. 13th to 20th, g number of deathe by typhus or ship fever, together with the number now lying sick with that malady up to that period:— Died by typhus fever.

Madam Leon Javelli and Henry Wells will dance the Tarentula, and the Ravel family, including Gabriel Ravel, will execute their dar- ing exploits on the corde tendue. The whole will con- clude with the comic pantomime of “ Robert and Bor- trand,” otherwise Robert Macaire. in which Gabrieland Antoine produce so much mirth, ‘This will undoubtedly attract all the amateurs of merriment to the Chambers’ street theatre. We are requested to mention that, for the future, the doora will open at half-past seven pre- cisely. Bowery AmruitHeaTne.—We spent a very pleasant hour or two at the Bowery Amphitheatre last evening, and were much amused with the performances, which, we are free to say, were of a high order. ‘The foats of horsemanship drew forth repeated bursts of applause, and were highly creditable to the numerous performers. ‘There was some disappointment caused by the non-ap- pearance of Mr. Gossin, the celebrated clown; but we learn that his absence was occasioned by unavoidable causes, and that ho is expected to arrive here every day, No more attractive place than the Bowery Amphithea- tre can be found in New York. Yankee Hill and Dr. Valentine will remain one week longer at Mechanic's Hall, Broadway, and will continue during that period to delight all who may choose to favor them with » call. These are, par excellence, the Yan- kees of the American stage, and are more successful in delineating and caricaturing the peculiarities of the unsophisticated down-euster than any who have yet appeared. It was an excellent move for them to join forces. And the project tells advantageously for them- selves, it would appear, from the numbers who attend their exhibitions. @GSrcnon (Britz.—The oftener Signor Blitz, the cele- brated magician appears in New York, the more he is liked and patronised. ‘Tho feats of magic and ventrilo- quism aro really wonderful, and puzzle all who witness them. It is too often the case that persons pretending to be versed in the black art get up entertainments, and fail in giving what is expected from them. Not so with Blitz. “He fulfils what he promises to the letter, and is not unwilling to repeat experiments for the purpose of iving every one of his visiters an opportunity of detect- fag the maluner in which Be performs then; bat wo need hardly say that he knows his art too well to allow them to doit. He will hold forth again this evening at the Society Library. The Viennoise children were still at Montreal at last dates. They took @ benefit at the Theatre Royel on Saturday night. Mrs. Munt was to commence an engagement at St. Louis on the 13th inst.

That I may bave a trial as soon as the witnesses now in the United States can be got to Washington ; for although the testimony of the voice of California, through some of its most respectable inhabitants, is essential to me, aud also that of Commodore Stockton, who han not yet arrived from that provinee, yet I will not wish the delay of waiting for these far-distaat wit- nesses, and will go into trial on the testimony now in the United States—part of which is in the State of Missourt, and may require thirty duys to get itto Washington. 1, therefore, ask for trial at the end of that time, ‘These requests 1 have the honor to make, and hope they will be found to be just, and will be granted; I wish a full trial, and a speedy one.

The Jew, together with the silke, was at once brought before Justice Drinker, and held to bail in the sum of $500, to anawor the charge of buying goods, knowing the same to be stolen proper. ty. The boy said that he received only 75 cents for each piece of silk, its real value being $12, consequently 20, 21, 22, 2 by Brigadier General Kearny, and the subsidiary accu- sations made against me in newspapers, when [ was not inthis country, impeach me in all the departments of my conduct (iilitary, civil, political and moral) while in California, and, if true, would subject me to be cashier- ed and shot under the rules and articies of war, and to infamy in the public opinion, Itis my intention to meet these charges and accu- sations in all their extent ; und for that purpose to ask & trial upon covery point of allegation or insinuation against me, waiving all objections to forms and techni- calities, and allowing the widest range to all possible ten timony. These charges and accusations are so general and extensive as to cover the whole field of my opera- tions in California, both civil and military, from the be- ginning to the end of hostilities ; and as iny operations, and those of which I was the subject or object, extend to almost every ect or event which occurred in the countr: during the eventful period of those hostilities, the testi- mony of my trial will be the history of the conquest of California, and the exposition of the policy whieh has heretofore been pursued there, and the elucidation of that which should be followed hereafter, It will be the means of giving valuable information tothe government, which it might not otherwise be able to obtain, and thua enlighten it both with respect to the past'and the future. Being a military subordinate, I oan make no report, noteven ot my own operations, but my trial may bo: come a report, and bring to the knowledge of the go- vernment what it ought to know, not only with respect to the conduct of its offlcers, but also in regard to the policy observed, with regard to the three-fold popula- tion, (Spanish-Americans, Anglo-Americans, and abor- iuinal Americans.) which that remote province contains. Viewed under these arpects of public interest, my ot personal concern in the trial—already sufliciently grave —acquires an additional and public importance ; and for these high objects, as well as to vindicate my own character from accusations both capital and infamous, it is my intention to require and to promote the most searching examination Into every thing that has been done in that quarter, The public mind has become impressed with the be- lief that great misconduct has prevailed in California ; and, in fact, it would be something rare in the history of remote conquests and governments, where every pet- ty commander might feel himself invested with proco sular authority, and protected by distance from the su- ervision of his government, if nothing wrong er culps- le has been dows by the public agents of the United States in that remote province. ‘The public believe it ; andthe charges filed against me by Brigadier General Kearny—the subsidiary publications made against. me whilst! was not in the country—my arrest on the fron- tier, and the Se rumors of that event—the manner of my being brought home for trial, not in irons, 48 some newspapers suppose, but in chains stron, than iron, and with circumstances of ostentatious and galling degradation—have all combined to present me as the great malefactor, and the pole one, Heretofore | have suid nothing, and could have said nothing, in my own defence. I was ignorant of all that was going on against me; ignorant of the charges sent from Caliornia; ignorant of the intended and of the subsidiary publication to prejudice the public mind. What was published in the United States in my favor by my friends, was done upon their own view of things here, and of which | knew nothing. it was only on my arrival at the frontiers of the United States that 1 be- came acquainted with these things, which concerned me so nearly. Brought home by General Kearny, and ched in his rear, 1 did not know of his design to me until the moment of its execation at Fort Leavenworth, He then informed me that, among the charges which he had preferred, were mutiny, dis- obedience of orders, assumption of powers, &c.; and re- ferred me to your office for particulars. Accordingly. | now apply for them, and ask for a fuil and speedy trial, not only on the charges filed by the said General, but on all accusations contained in the publication against me. jaThe private calamity which has this evening obtained for me permission from the department to visit South Carolina, does not create any reason for postponement or delay of the trial, or in any way interfere with the necessary preliminaries. Hoping, then, sir, that you will obtain and communi- cate to me an early decision of the proper authorities on thete requests, | remain Your most obd’t servant, J. C, FREMONT, Lt. Col, Mounted Rifles. Statement of the Accident to the Britannia, . Orr Havivax, Thursday, Sept. 16th. 1847. The undersigned, passengers in the Britannia, feet that it will be expected of them to make some public ¢x- pression in regard to the dangerous accident which has befallen them, during the voyage which is just drawing to a close, They have, therefore, the following statement, which they believe to embrace all that is ne cessary toa right understanding of the case, and toa just appreciat on of the conduct of all concerned. The steamer Britannia left Liverpool on the 4th of Sep- tember, at 4 o'clock, P. M., and having enjoyed nine days of generally clear weother, was found in lat. 4951 W., on the 13th inst. at noon. The distance from Cape Race was then supponed to be about 304 miles, At daybreak on the 14th inst., the steamer encountered a dense fog, which continued during the day and night, ‘The wind was light. ‘The rea, by no means rough in the morning, became sensibly smoother and smoother as the day advanced, and the steamer proceeded steadily on at the rate, as shown by the log, of from 93¢ to 10% miles the hour. There was, of course, no possibility of takin an observation duri.g the continuance cf the fog, which was of extraordinary density. and at times it was Impos- sible to see further than # full ship's length ahead. At 12 ¢’c'ock, the dead reckoning of the Captein gave Int 46 60, long 51 61, and the run of the previous 24 hours was ret down af 200 miles Our distance from ape Race ‘was still supposed Lo be about 54 miles, Many expressions «f anxiety were interchanged among some of the passengers, at 60 close an approach to land as was indicated by these figures, insuch thick weather: but the Captain expressed entire confidence that wo should pass quite clear of Cape Race in the course of | the afternoon. .He expressed, al4o, what all concurred io, the extreme desirabieness of making the land before night set in, Ata few minutos before 6 o'clock P. M., the steamer struck the shore, and a recky headland, belier- ed to be between Cape Race and Cape Ballard, waa seen within « hundred yards of our bows Captain Harrison was at hia post. on the Jarboard pad- die box, when the accident occurred, He had revi: in that neighborhood while the passengers were a! ner,and had united, during the afternoon, with other offleers of tho whip, nnd with the appointed wat: in looking out for land, But the thickness of the fog
