Bruce on the 3d instant, on being taken into the north new dock and examined, has been found defective, and condemned by the officers of this establishment, as unfit for the service for which she was intended. The Agincourt, 74, is proposed to be substituted for the Implacable.The Resistance frigate, fitting for a troop-ship, was masted yesterday. Orders have been received at this port to hasten the fittings and repairs of this ship; accordingly all the force that can be spared from works of less importance will be employed on her. | ||
