            Rumors of Trouble in The East.-We learn from the Bangor Whig of Friday, that
      McLaughlin, the Provincial Land Agent, has been at Fish River, which is about 50
      miles from No. 10, (township or plantation) and 40 men and ordered off by Captain
      Nye and his men, about 30 in number; they then went down the river, it is supposed
     for reinforcement. The letter from which this information is derived is at St. Croix,
      No 10, May 14th. It adds, "We immediately sent one express to Fort Fairfield for
      men, and one to Colonel Jarvis, informing him of the facts, and started a boat load of
     men,  ammunition and provision for the "the seat of war." The writer further adds,
     "We say Fish River County by arrangement belongs to us, we have sent force there
      to secure the timber, take off trespassers and exercise jurisdiction."


                                                  MARINE DISATERS & ETC.

          The ship Oceanus, of Portland, Prince, master  from Boston for Savaannah,
     in ballast went ashore on the 11 inst., off  Stono Breakers, (South Carolina) totally lost.
     Captain Prince and part of the crew arrived at Charleston on the 11th inst., for assistance
     The mate and the balance of the crew took the long boat and landed at Stono. Pervious
     to their leaving the ship had two feet of water in her hold, but had not bilged. Captain
     Prince will return to the wreck and endeavor to save what he can. The Oceanus had a
     Savannah pilot at the time of her going on shore. The steamer John Adams has
     proceeded to the wreck.
          Brig Champion, of Portland, Blanchard, from Boston for Havana, was lost at Royal
     (probably Ragged) Island 24th ult., part of cargo, sails and rigging saved. Captain
     Blanchard arrived at Philadelphia 13th inst., in schooner Elizabeth from Nassau.
     There  was $5 or $6000 insured on the cargo in Boston, which probably covered the
    loss upon it.

     New Orleans, was lost with her cargo of lime, 24th ult., on   Abaco; rigging, sails,
     chains and anchors saved.

     below Baltimore 14th inst.
          Captain Brown, of brig Pioneer, at Baltimore reports that on 10th inst., in  a gale
     from E N E, saw a brigantine ashore about 15 miles south of Cape Henry. From the
     violence of the gale Captain Brown thinks she must have gone to pieces during the
    storm.
          The brig Snow (?) of Thomaston at New Orleans, rolled away her main topmast
     and to gallant mast, in lat 29 lon 74.
