About 4 o'Clock yesterday morning the Syren Frigate, a transport ship, and a Schooner,¹ belonging to the Wood fleet, by some unfortunate mistake or misman­agement, ran ashore upon Point Judith, where the Syren immediately bulged. Every effort was made by Captain Furneaux to get the ship off, but the Rebels having very soon brought down three pieces of Cannon against her, and the ship unfortunately keeling towards the shore when the tide left her, he was under the necessity of sur­rendering himself and his people prisoners to the Enemy. The Lark and Flora went out of the harbour at 4 in the afternoon in order to afford assistance, but they came too late. A Sloop which went out soon after the first Signals of distress were made, arrived in time to save the people of the  transport; and it is probable that had the two frigates gone out at the same time, they might have saved the Crew of the Syren. The vessels now remain on shore, without any hopes of getting them off. The rest of the Fleet escaped the danger, and proceeded to Shelter Island.
