The PORTER was towed into port yesterday by the CONSTELLATION, having suffered much damage in her spars and rigging, beside the loss of her main mast. Several schooner were driven back during the gale. The OTTAWA got on a reef near the mouth of Detroit River, and was compelled to throw overboard 215 barrels of flour. She is now in port.
