Wreck and Plunder of the Inverness
Particulars of the wreck and plunder of the Inverness, Captain Leith, in the river
Shannon, loaded at Limerick with a cargo of provisions, on account of Mr. E.D.
Hanmer’s contract with the Victualling Board, and bound to London.
From Captain Miller, of the Police, to Mr.Spaight, merchant, Limerick. – Kilrush,
Feb. 24.
Dear Spaight–As I am now in possession of most of the particulars of the wreck of
the Inverness, I shall detail them to you as follows:–
She went on shore on Wednesday night, the 19th inst. Taking Rinevaha for
Carrigahold, and would have got off by the next spring tide, had the peasantry not
boarded and rendered her not sea-worthy, by scuttling her, and tearing away all her
rigging, they then robbed the crew of all their cloths, tore their sails which they
made bags of, to carry away the plunder, and then broached the tierces of pork and
distributed the contents to people on shore, who waited to convey chops up the
country....[more can be found in the May 26 Montreal Gazette]. |

The ship Montreal, Wm Rayside, Master, sailed from Greenock, on the 9th April,
in company with the Cherub, Stevenson for Montreal, and parted from her off
Loch Rayan, the Cherub bearing away for the south Channel, and the Montreal
beating up for the north; on the 15th the Montreal was off Tory, from whence she
was driven by southerly winds to lat. 57d. 9m. In the long. of Rockol. On the 1st of
May, in lat. by reckoning 49d. 5m. long. 43d. 50m. she fell in with islands of ice.
In the evening of the second, lat. by observation at noon 47d. 11m. long. 46d.
14m. she met with quantities of broken and sailed along a field of it during the
night, and finally got a passage through it; at four o’clock on the morning of the 3d
she had soundings on the outer edge of the great bank. Islands of ice were
occasionally seen till the 6th, when she made St. Peter’s Island, then completely
covered with snow! The same afternoon, 52 miles to the westward of St. Peter’s,
the whole horizon to the southward and westward was discovered to be covered
with ice; after beating in different directions, to discover a passage, several fields,
which shewed clear water beyond them, were passed; the next day she got
completely entangled in the ice, and it was finally determined to push through it.
She was generally favored with —? winds, but the ice was almost instantly
covered with a fog, which prevented any observation from being made; besides, it
was impossible to calculate the distance or courses to any certainty. At 12 at noon,
on the 12th, the fog clearing up, Cape Ray was discovered, bearing north-east, dist.
3 miles. On the 14th and 15th, she was entirely stationary in the ice, lying along side
of the Isabella, M’Vicar, for Miramichi, which sailed on the same day from
Greenock and passed through the south Channel. On Sunday the 18th at noon, all the sails on the main and mizen mast being furled or backed at the time, the point of an apparently thin piece of ice and of about three or four hundred feet in superficies, struck the larbord port, knocked the ends of the stancheon into the timbers and broke and drove in the lower edge of it, an oak plank of 3½ inches thick, about two feet under water. The water gained fast on the pump, and the Carpenter reported that the port could not be secured without getting to the leak outside; under these circumstances the passengers were stationed at the pump, and the crew was employed in removing aft the weighty articles on the deck, clearing away the main hatch, and throwing the most weighty articles of the cargo overboard. At this time, a ship was discovered coming out of the haze astern and entering the ice. A signal of distress was immediately hoisted; but not sending her boat on board, Capt. M'Coll, late of the Cosack, and a boy and one man, all that could be spared, were sent on board of her to ask the assistance of their Carpenter and any hands the ship could spare. This assistance was refused, under the pretext that it was blowing too fresh. Capt. M'Coll returned to the ship; the master of the stranger promising to stay by the Montreal unless she haulted down her signal of distress. He however shot a head; at 4 P.M. he hoisted his top gallant sails, and was soon out of sight, the Montreal's signal of distress still flying. This vessel's name was the Larch, of Liverpool, Master's name unknown; the Master and Crew were Guernseymen and bound to Chaleur Bay. At 8 P.M. boards were got over the outside of the port, and next morning it was finally secured. At this time the ship was supposed to be about 40 or 50 miles south of the east point of Anticosti. On the 19th at noon the ship was again in a condition to carry sail. The next day she was out of the ice, and made Anticosti, to the westward of South point. This morning she arrived at Quebec without having seen any more ice, excepting on the shores near the mouth of the River. Some pieces of ice among which the Montreal passed were about 50 feet under water and about 6 or 8 above it. The weather was generally very cold, ice forming every night, and the decks were frequently covered with snow. About a dozen vessels in all were seen in the ice from the Montreal. The Captain of the Isabella, counted 12 outside of Cape Ray, ten of which he said he saw within the Cape. He was nearly a shore on Cape Ray; he spoke outside of the Cape, the Isis from London, and saw the Alexander, Vickers, from Liverpool.

The accounts received by the first arrivals at Quebec, this season, which stated that
vast and unusual fields of ice were seen floating in the Gulph and along the coasts
of Newfoundland, made us naturally apprehensive for the safety of the shipping
bound to the St. Lawrence; the long list of so many vessels arrived since, without
suffering much injury, must therefore be very gratifying.
The refreshing rains which have fallen lately, have occasioned a very favorable
change in our fields and gardens, and give us room to hope, there will be yet
abundance for man and beast in all our borders.–Who knows but that the chilly
weather experienced at the beginning of this season, preserved the productions of
the earth from the ravages of those insects which have so much injured the crops
to the southward?
Wednesday last being the anniversary of his Majesty’s birth day, who then entered
his 79th year, and is perhaps the oldest Sovereign of the age, was observed here
with every mark of respect and loyalty.
Quebec, June 5
About five hundred settlers have already arrived in this Province since the opening
of the navigation. They consist, generally, of men in the prime of life, trained up to
some useful employments in which they have saved money enough to pay their
passage. We wish them all a hearty welcome, and we are sure that every one who
wishes well to the prosperity of the country, will be ready to give them all the
encouragement that circumstances will permit. The formation of an association in
this City, for affording information and assistance to emigrants, would be a
benevolent and extremely useful undertaking. It ought to consist of members that
cannot be suspected of such views of private interest.

The Brig Mary & Jane, capt. Brisby, from Jamaica was wrecked in the ice in the
Gulf. Capt. And crew saved, picked-up and brought to Quebec by the Trader
from London, after they had been two days in their boat; one of the men died of
fatigue and cold. The Juliana and Union (both arrived) put into Gaspé, where the
former reported part of her damages in the ice.
Much has been said in newspapers on the outrage committed some time ago on the British ship Hamilton, when lying in the port of New Orleans; the depositions of James Stuart and major General Ripley respecting this affair, to be found in our columns of to-day, will give a more correct idea of this disgraceful business than any thing yet written on the subject. [Montreal Gazette, June 16]
The Riot At New-Orleans
Deposition of James Stuart [extract only]
...that on the morning of the 17th inst. being on the levee, he met with captain Colshead, who invited him on board his ship; on the evening of the 17th he saw a crowd collecting on the levee, abreast of the ship, and soon after he discovered the mate of the Pacifique, with a drawn sword in his hand, addressing the crowd, and pointing to the vanes then flying on the mast head of the Hamilton; a few minutes after he heard the crowd cry out to take down the vanes, or they would cut down the masts. The deponent, upon this, informed the master that it was necessary to take care of his vessel, as the crowd intended to board her. The crowd shortly after came on board, but after a few threats from the captain, and the persons then on board, they desisted and went on shore; and were no sooner on shore than they commenced throwing brick-bars from the levee towards the vessel. About this time deponent saw the city guard approaching, and immediately after the crowd dispersed.... [Montreal Gazette, June 16]

The season continues most favorable for the fruits of the earth, and promises to the husbandman and abundant harvest.--The quantity of flour now in this city is immense, and 40,000 barrels more, which were purchased for exportation early in the season in the Genesee country, are yet expected.--We are glad to hear that the people of Newfoundland, who were in great distress, have received from England and other parts abundant supplies, so that we may safely announce that the cry of scarcity has entirely ceased, and that the voice of plenty is heard throughout the land.
By the Shamrock, we learn that large quantities of provisions have been imported into Newfoundland from England; and its inhabitants had been thus relieved from the pressure of want. Flour was selling at 4l. per bbl. and bread at 50s. per cwt.

Captain Crocker, of the Calypso, arrived at this port in five days from Havana, informs, that just before he sailed, the Governor published an order, that every negro should after dark carry a light, and the guard were ordered to search every person, without distinction, for knives and other deadly secreted weapons--but persons might varry swords, if exposed to view, by being hung at the side--This was in consequence of the numerous assassinations that occurred almost every night; in one night, it was said, that nine persons were killed in this way.
Philadelphia, June 11
A letter from a gentleman in New-York, dated on Monday last contains the following particulars of what had like to have been a very serious accident:--Mr. Purser Bourne and Mrs. Cooper, wife of the tragedian, were crossing from New-York in one of the navy barges, rowed by four men. Just as they were about reaching the shore, the steam boat being very near the barge, was by striking the eddy, suddenly thrown in the wake of the small boat, and being so near at the time, there was no other expectation than that the barge would be instantly run down, and the people would be crushed to death! The shrieking on shore, and the confusion on board the steam boat, cannot easily be described. Bourne, with a gallantry that will ever reflect honour on his name, seized at this critical moment, Mrs. Cooper in his arms, and jumped overboard just far enough to clear the steam boat. He thus, to all appearance, fell upon the only means of saving the lady's life at the risk of his own.
They were in the water three minutes; and poor Bourne was so closely clenched round the neck by the lady, that he came very near being drowned, while keeping her head above water. The engineer of the steam boat at the mement they sprang into the water, luckily stopped the wheels, and the small boat, although struck by her, bounded off without injury. The four oarsmen as soon as the boat was struck, sprang on board the steam boat. A boat from the shore relieved Bourne and his fair companion. When he was taken up, he was nearly exhausted, and is still confined to his chamber, on the recovery Mrs. C. is quite recovered from her fright and has even escaped a cold.

Quebec, June 20.
The Season--On the nights of the 15th and
16th instant, it froze so hard in the vicinity of this city, that there was
ice of the thickness of half a crown. Since that time the weather has been
very warm, with refreshing showers, the thermometer frequently above 80.
The wheat fields and meadows begin to assume a more favourable appearance
than during the late cold nights. All conclusions as to the next crop, in
this district, are quite uncertain. On the south shore much damaged seed
wheat was sown, which has since been replaced by oats. The general complaint
is that the wheat is thin. |

Shipwreck!--On Friday evening last, about half-past eight o'clock, the ship Trafalgar,
Capt. Welburn, went ashore on Brier Island in a very thick fog, the ship will
be a total wreck; chief part of the materials saved--The Trafalgar was
from Hull bound to this port, and from hence to Quebec, and had 159 passengers,
which together with the crew were all saved.
(see lists of passengers)
Hallifax[sic], August 1,
Emigrants--In consequence of the difficulties into which some of the emigrants from the mother country have been thrown, upon their first landing in this place; and of repeated applications from different quaters[sic] several individuals, have undertaken to assist those emigrants with information and advice.--Their principal object will be to distribute them as generally as possible throughtout the province, that their labor may be more valuable to themselves and to the country. In cases of extreme distress, it will also be the endeavour of those individuals to procure some small funds, from which a loan may be made to those emigrants who have no money, of as many shillings as may be sufficient to bear their expenses to those parts of the country, in which they will be recommended to seek for employment--It is condifently hoped, that every encouragement will be given by the magistrates and other landholders throughout the province, to the persons who will be thus distributed among them, and especially by assisting in procuring employment for them at fair and moderate wages--And with the happy prospects of an abundant harvest, with which this country is now blest, there can be no doubt that the persons lately arrived may soon be comfortably provided for, and eventually prove a valuable acqusition to the province.
Any information from gentlemen in the country respecting the number of persons whom it would be desirable to receive in their respective counties and townships, with a description of the persons most wanted, will be thankfully received--and all applications from individuals who wish to employ families, farmers, mechanics or labourers will be attended to. Application to be made to either of the subscribers.--James Fraser, John Liddell, Michael Tobin and Samuel Cunard.
New-York, September 1--By the arrival, this morning, of the ship Fanny, captain Forman, in 40 days from Greenock, we have received the London Globe,...[Note: Fanny is called the Fancy in the French version of this store.]
Melancholy Accident--Was drowned here on Thursday last, captain Satter, of the brig Peace, of Hull. His foot slipt on coming ashore, and he fell between his own vessel and another. His body was found the day after.
Died--At William Henry, on the 24th ult. in the 42d year of her age, Mrs. Mary Lowe, wife of captain William Lowe, of the steam boat Malsham, after 18 months of almost continued suffering, which she bore in such a manner as to afford an edifying example of Christian submission to the Divine will. |

Melancholy Accident-Drowned here on Thursday last. Capt. Satter, of the Brig
Peace, of Hull. He slipt his foot on coming ashore, and fell between his own
vessel and another. The body was found yesterday morning.
The whole number of Vessels arrived at this Port from Sea, since the opening of
the navigation, is 240. The number of Settlers, chiefly from Great Britain, already
arrived, is 4857. We understand that about 200 are shortly expected from
Germany.
There is at present a man in this town who possesses a diving bell, in which he
often descends to the bottom of the river, where he remains from one to two hours.
We do not learn that Fortune has greatly remunerated him for his risk, labour and
time.
Accounts have been received at Montreal from the Red River, to the end of July.
The Hon. Mr. Coltman was then in good health, and busily employed in taking
depositions on the subject of the past transactions in those parts. The trials relating
to some former transactions which were to come on at the late Criminal Term at
Montreal, are, we understand, to take place in UpperCanada.

Loss of the Champlain Steam Boat
On Saturday night, the 6th instant, at half past nine o'clock, the steam-boat Champlain while lying in port at Whitehall was wholly consumed by fire, she had been in port fifteen hours and there is no doubt of its being the work of an incendiary. Her books, papers and a small proportion of her furniture saved. The loss not fully acertained, but estimated at from 30 to 40,000 dollars.
Notwithstanding the loss of the steam-boat Champlain, the public are informed, that in consequence of the uncommon speed of the steam-boat Phoenix, she will be enabled to perform the service lately executed by the two boats, and will continue to do so until public notice is given to the contrary. She will leave Whitehall every Wednesday and Saturday and ? everu Tuesday and Friday, as usual.[Montreal Gazette, Sept 17, 1817]
New York, July 8
More Dutch Emigrants
The ship Christopher Gore has arrived in the Delaware, a few miles below Philadelphia, with 230 emigrants from Holland; most of them were in a sickly and wretched condition. She sailed with 280 on board, who it is said had lived for weeks in the streets of Amsterdam begging their substinence from day to day. They were shipped by the civil authority of that city. Many of them were in a diseased state when they embarked; and as might have been expected, about 50 of these miserable beings perished on the voyage, and were thrown into the ocean. It is also said, that other vessels equally crowded with emigrants, were soon to sail from Amsterdam, bound to Philadelphia.
Captain Taylor, of the British brig Benjamin, who arrived here yesterday, in 26 days from Tobago, informs that the town of Augustura had surrendered to the patriot troops; that the royalists on evacuating the town, embarked on board a fleet of eighteen vessels in the harbour, and put to sea; that after they had embarked they were attacked by the patriots; and the admiral of the fleet lost a leg in the contest. One of the Spanish vessels with 150 passengers, arrived at Tobago, before the Benjamin sailed, and six others had passed that island.
The Portuguese brig General Silvera, captain Pontes, arrived yesterday in 58 days from Lisbon had previously captured (as was reported by some of the crew) an American and an English vessel, and murdered their crews. The commander and crew of the pirate, it is said, were, in consequence of this information, sentenced to be hung.

The sentence of Death was pronounced on Saturday, by judge Livingston, on
Frederick Jacobson, late master of the ship Aristides, whose trial and conviction
we have already noticed. The day for his execution, we understand, is the 5th of
March next. Capt. J. It is said received the sentence with the composure and
requested as a favour of the court “that he might not be confined in irons, that he
might be executed in the dress he then wore, and that his body might not be given
for dissection.
Extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated in July last
“Great numbers of young men, some of whom have been in his majesty’s service,
are now going to South America to attach themselves to the patriot army. A ship
called the Two Friends, has either sailed, or is about to sail from Portsmouth,
having about thirty on board, some of whom I am intimately acquainted with.
There is a gentleman in London from S. America, who furnishes them with their
commissions before they leave England. They deposit 40 guineas for their
passage, but this money is paid them back again on their arrival in America. It
merely serves as an advance for the agent until they arrive....
Fishing Vessels Restored
A Halifax paper, of the 29th of August, states that the 20 sail of American fishing
vessels which were sent into Halifax, on the 17th of June last, by the British armed
ship Dee, having been restored to the claimants on their paying costs by a decision
of the admiralty court. The captors however intended to appeal from this decision;
but the claimants in that event would take possession of their vessels on giving
bonds to meet the final result. |

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Charleston, (S.C.) To his friend in
Alexandria, dated Sept 2.
It is with pain that I have to inform you that grim death is making its ravages
amongst us to a most alarming degree; the yellow fever for the last week has taken
off thirty-two, principally young men; and thirty-one died in the same time of
other complaints. For the last four weeks I have been almost incessantly attending
upon the sick in cases of the yellow fever. Many of my most intimate friends and
acquaintances have left me for another, and I trust, a better world. How soon I am
to follow, God only knows, to whose will I am perfectly willing to submit.
Crops are likely to be very short this year in consequence of the almost incessant
rains. Rice has not so universally suffered as cottons. This city presents one scene
of desolation–business of all kinds is almost completely stagnant–a great
proportion of the whites have left the city–strangers for the north ward and the
natives for Sullivan’s Island.” |

Unfortunate Accident–On Sunday evening about nine o’clock, the brig Salus,
captain Penn, belonging to Liverpool, was discovered to be on fire in the aft hold.
After some ineffectual efforts to extinguish the flames, she was cut from her
moorings at the queen’s wharf. Attempts were made to tow her into the St.
Charles, but the wind blowing fresh from that quarter, she drifted over to Point
Levi, where she grounded and burnt to the water’s edge, with about half her cargo
of salt on board and some coals. How the accident happened remains a mystery. It
is the more to be lamented, as the Salus was a regular trader, and an exvellent
sailer. She had made two trips this years. |

former?
We hear some rumours of Typhus fever in town; happily its visitation, is at a
season when not much is to be apprehended from it. It is, however, considered of
importance enough to attract the attention of the Magistrates, particularly on
account of the situation of certain private hospitals in the Lower Town, which it is
thought, might be better removed to a distance from a crowded population. It is
said that ten persons died of the fever last week.
September 30
A New Steam Boat–On Sunday morning was launched from Mr. Goudie’s yard,
the fine steam-boat Lauzon, of 310 tons burthen, with all her equipments and
apparatus on board. Her engine is of 28 horse power. Being launched rather late on
the tide, in making her way out, she grounded on a sand bank in the river St.
Charles, but was got off without injury. This little accident prevented several
gentlemen concerned in her, from making an immediate trip in her as they had
purposed. They however yesterday morning made an experimental excursion
down, up and across the Saint Lawrence. In ascending the stream she was opposed
by a strong wind and tide; she however made her way in every direction, with the
utmost facility and expedition. Her works are remarkably well executed, and there
can be no doubt of her fully answering the purpose of her construction, which is of
plying between Mr. Goudie’s new wharf in the lower-town, and a wharf built at
Point Levi; for which purpose she has a rudder at each end, by mean of which by
stopping her forward motion, she can be immediately propelled in an opposite
direction, without putting about, though she effects the latter movement when
necessary, with the greatest celerity. In every respect, indeed she does credit to the
builder, and will, unquestionably, become a vehicle of the first utility to all whom
business or other occasions, ma either frequently or occasionaly[sic] call across
the Saint Lawrence; particularly as the Lauzon is constructed for ferrying cattle
and carriages; and will cross the river in the short space of eight minutes; thus, in a
manner annihilating the impediment of a rapid stream, of a mile wide, and
bringing as it were, during the navigating season, the two shores together, almost
equally with a bridge. What adds to the well established reputation of Mr. Goudie
as a builder, is, that this is the first instance within our knowledge of a steam boat
being launched with the steam engine on board. The enterprize is indeed
altogether highly creditable to all concerned, it being one of those improvements
which must greatly contribute to the object at present so generally contemplated,
the facility of internal intercourse, and consequently, its numerous beneficial
results.
Mr. Goudie has another large steam-boat on the stocks, almost ready to be
launched, for navigating up and down the river.

York, (Upper Canada) October 9
To the Inhabitants of Upper Canada
There has for many years existed in London, a society, the object of which
Institution is, to afford relief to strangers who having no legal settlement in
England, are not intitled [sic] to parochial relief under the poor laws.
The happy state of the inhabitants of this colony, has hitherto called for no
legislative provision for the maintenance of the poor, until the late war furnished
mutilated and afflicted objects, to whom the legislature has afforded a distinct and
liberal support.
The late emigration from the United Kingdom to this province, has produced
much apparent distress, which the character of individuals, however great applied
without system, cannot relieve.–It is proposed therefore, to form a society for the
special purpose of subvening to the wants and alieviating [sic] the misery of such
Emigrants from the United Kingdom, as persent a just claim to its assistance.
To that effect a subscription will be wanted, and the charitable well disposed are
invited to assemble for that purpose, at the school house in York, on Saturday next
at one o’clock; when it is hoped, a respectable attendance will enable the meeting,
at once to organize a society of “Friends of the Stranger,” for the more especial
purpose of affording relief to destitute Emigrants, to procure food and raiment for
the naked and hungry, employment for the poor and industrious and to assist all in
early location and improvement of the land to be granted.

The season in this neighborhood has lately assumed a melancholy and rather an
alarming appearance. On Sunday afternoon there came on a violent snow storm
which continued till 12 o’clock the next day, leaving the ground covered with
several inches of snow, which, although partly dissolved by an immediate rain and
thaw, still covers the ground. Considerable fields of Oats and Potatoes are
completely buried under the snow. Since Tuesday there has been a hard frost, and
this morning there are large quantities of ice on the beaches, and small fields of it
floating in the river. Very little ploughing has yet been done in this district, and
should the winter now set in, it will have a very unfavorable influence on the
interests of Agriculture. Mild weather is, however, still generally expected, as
there is hardly an instance of the winter commencing so early.
From the United States
New York, October 22,
Captain Trowbridge, of the ship Blooming Rose, who arrived this morning in
eleven days from Havanna informs us, that a vessel which arrived there in a short
passage from Vera Cruz reported that General Mina was closely invested in a
fortress by nine thousand troops. He had made two or three unsuccessful attempts
to cut his way through.
The day before the Blooming Rose sailed, a Spanish fleet of transports arrived
there from Caraccas, where they had landed their troops.
The ship Nimfa, late the General Scott, was preparing at Havanna to sail to the Maine. |

Natural Phenomenon
On the 24th of last month, about mid-day, after a very loud detonation the Lake of
Canteino, also called Porciano, totally disappeared. A large opening was
discovered in the bottom through which the waters have probably escaped into the
sinuosities of the neighboring mountains.
Error in the Nautical Almanac
The following extract of a letter from captain Pace, of the Hero, to his
owner in
London, contains information of importance to the shipping interest:--
On board the Hero, Spithead, September 14, 1817
Sir,–I beg leave to inform you of the safe arrival of the Hero at this anchorage last
night, after a pleasant but tedious passage from Shields. My reasons for stopping
here, I can assure you, were weighty. On any passage along the east coast of
England, and from the Downs, I was resolved to try the chronometers previous to
my leaving the land. On observing several days running, I found the longitude by
the chronometer differ widely from that laid down in the charts, and particularly
off Dover, I found the error increasing considerably, which made me quite uneasy
respecting the future event–so much so, that I determined to stop here, and find
out the cause. I was recommended to a Mr. Bradley here, who has an observatory,
and compares chronometer, &c. He immediately informed me it was an error in
the printing of the Nautical Almanac, and that he had written to London
concerning it, and hoped it would be laid before the Board of Longitude. He
informed me the errors were in the Almanac that were printed in this year; of
which mine happened to be one, and were as follows:–Month of September,
column of Equation of Time is add, it ought to subtract–month of November,
Sun’s declination is north, ought to be south–same month, Equation of Time is
add, ought to be subtract; those errors are only in the Almanacs that have been
printed in 1817.
Had I proceeded on my voyage without making any observations before leaving
the land and entirely depended on the longitude deduced from the computed time
and chronometer, I should at the end of this month, have been five degrees of
longitude wrong.
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
Robert Pace, Jun.
