The Thunder bomb is put in here by a strong easterly wind; she is one of Sir Peter Parker's squadron, and sailed from the Downs four weeks ago, in company with several other ships of war for Corke; but three of them have been dismasted or otherwise damaged, so as to prevent their proceeding till repaired, viz. the Boreas, Triton and Deal Castle.
