The vessel reported ashore on Pigeon Reef, in our last number, was the brig GENERAL BROCK, and it is feared she will become a total wreck. Capt. Pearson and the crew got ashore on the island and were taken off by H. M. S. MOHAWK, which as mentioned in our last, was sent by Capt. Fowell, to their assistance.
