Intelligence has been received of the loss of seven vessels belonging to Dundee, Aberdeen, Montrose, and Sunderland, in the gulf of Riga, on the 23d, 24th, and 25th of April. From the account in the Aberdeen Constitutional, it would seem that the ice closed in upon the vessels and squeezed them to pieces. The crews appear to have escaped.
