DUBLIN, May 22. By a Gentleman just arrived from Lisbon, we hear that on Easter Monday last, as a large Company were on a Party of Pleasure in the River Tagus, in the King's Barge, a Sudden Squall overset the Vessel off the Cacaes, whereby seven Persons were drowned. The Company consisted of the Earl of Finlater, a Scotch Nobleman, his Lady and Daughter; the young Count de Lippe, a German Colonel, in the Service of Portugal; the Abbe de Saldanha, Brother to the Archbishop of Lisbon; two Sons of the French Consul; and several of the Portuguese Nobility and Gentry. The Persons lost were two black Servants, the Count de Lippe, the Archbishop's Brother, and three young Ladies, Daughters of the Chief Justice of Lisbon. The rest were saved, by some Fishing Boats belonging to the Cacaes.
