Mauritius Ship News from the Englishman, 

 We are indebted to Captain Renaut of the Ship Active, for the 

 following details respecting the hurricane which he experienced on the 

 30th November. On the 24th November, the weather was very tem- 

 pestuous, blowing from the S. W. and veering round to the N. W. 

 then N. E. and finally settled at E. on the 30th, and blew a perfect 

 hurricane for 48 hours in Lat. 10° 23' S. and Long. 85° 17' E. The gale 

 abated on the 2nd December in Lat. 13° 58' S. and Long. 13° 31' E. 

 The Ship sustained the loss of a few sails and a quarter boat ; but for- 

 tunately none of the coolie passengers on board sustained any injury.
