DefiruSkn of the Amph'tan Frigate.
• A dreadful event happened on Thursday evening
to the Amphion of JZgur.i, capt. I. Pellew, in
Plymouth harbour. By Come accident not yet known
blew up, and the greater part of the crew
, petifhed.'
Saturday morning thirty of the unfortunate fuf
ferers <>n board llie Amphion frigate were buried in
the Royal Hospital burial-ground at Plymouth, in
ene large grave from East to Weft ; ii was* pite

owned were buried by their friends.
The Amphion at Plymouth From the
North Sea on Monday fe'nnight, and the day fol
lowing went up Hamoaze to refit. Wednelday she
went along-side the sheer-hulk, snd got out a defedt

been employed great part of the day, and such wete
tne exei tions uied to get the ship ready for sea, that
it does not appear that moie than 18 of the sailors
were alhore or liberty. Tlvf captaia, hm fi*t lieu
tenant, and capt. Swaffitld, of the Overjifrl, of
64 guns, now in this harbour, had dined together
011 board the Amphion ; and whilst at table, at a
bout 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the captain was a<
larmed by a ludden shock, which his tipprehenfion
led him to fear was occasioned by gun powder, and
that moment communicating hie fears to those at the
tabic, requeued them with much earnestness inflant*
ly to follow him, and he forced himfelf through
the Amphion's quarter gallery to.get wtft she wa
tec, or reach lije hulk, the lieutenant followingclofe
at his heels ; but before they were clear of the ship,
the fore magazine blew up, and they presently found
themselves on the deck of the hulk, but how tbey

Swaffield and the others were not so fortunate ; they
