About the beginning of last week, a ship, mounting 10 guns, with 39 men ballast with shot, and having on board 14,600 dollars, several new cables, and other cordage, bound from Boston to New-York, was cast away at Cape-Cod, where the people from the adjacent parts secured the dolars, cordage, guns, &c.
Capt. Remington, who passt by the east end of Long-Island last Wednesday [March 6], saw a very large ship on shore there, which had been stripped of her sails and rigging.
Since a few of this day's papers were struck off, we hear the above ship is a man of war of 64 guns.
Last Tuesday night we had a very heavy gale of wind here, from S.E. to S.W. in which a schooner belonging to the ministerial fleet, lying near Hope, in this bay, lost both her mast and bowsprit, one sloop belonging to said fleet, lost her mast and bowsprit, and another her mast; and the Rose, Capt. Wallace, was within a few rods of going ashore on Hope. One tender sunk at her anchors.
