ANXIETY FOR THE ABSENT PACKETS There is
a great deal of anxiety now felt for the safety OF
the packet ships United States and England. They
have been at sea over two months, and sailed from
England IN time to be in the terrible gale of the
Ilth and 18th of December, which caused so much
devastation from one extremity Of the Atlantic to
the other In this gale, it will be recollected the
packet ship Dorchester was totally lost


The United States and England have valuable
cargoes on board. They had not, we are glad t.
learn, many passengers The England, we believe,
had none in her cabins In the United States, if we
mistake not, the Rev. Weir Tullocb, Scotch
clergyman, was a passenger. This person com.
mtted forgery at Perth and fled, intending to reach
America, by taking passage in the United States
This is the only passenger on board of her to our
knowledge.


These two packets were very streng ships. They
were built mere, and commanded by good and ex
perienced men, Captain Bftton, OF the United
States, is brother of the comm ander of the Gla
daor, and aIso Of the captain Of The Rochester,
WHO saved the lives of those on board the Dorche-
'er, which, singularly enough, was wrecked in the
same gale that either destroyed or badly disabled
he United States The England was commanded
nv Capt Bartlett, who has had charge of her since
III retirement OF Captain Waite, and better man
never walked deck.


Notwithstanding that appearances are against
them, there is yet hope, and not very weak
oue, OF seeing these packets again. They may
have become dismas.ed, and in that case could
hardly be expected TO make very rapid passage
from Longitude 20, while strong westerly winds
have been blowing
