I a saoa / firartge winter, the trees begin to (boot, and all at once comes a bar. vicance, which has continued two days with incredi ble fury, and terminated in a terrible thunder firm, accompanied with a fall of fnow fo prodigious, that it teemed to threaten to bury ns. When one fees all thefe things, one cannot hardly believe that one Rill inhabits the fame globe." we had already fpriag weather, EXTRACT OF • TIOM BAMBERG, FIE. :6. " I have been on bufinefs to Bayreuth, where a change of Government being daily expeaed, every one is eager to regulate his affairs, before the Bava. rians take poffefGon of the country, which will pro. bably be its fate—the French hlving already occu• pied Anfpach for the Lisa of BAVARIA. They have 2300 men at Furth, and a piquet of 16 men at Gof tenhoff, by Nuremberg. Erlangen, and Bayendorff, belong properly to Bayreuth, and will therefore (hare the fate of the reit of the country. It is Paid the . Lino of PRUSSIA will obtain in return a great part of Lower Saxony, particularly Hanover, and Lauen burg, with the title of sEmperor of the North.— People may fay what they will, but in my opinion. the Court of Pruffia has aged a very bad part in this grins. It made itfclf the fertile inftrument of the policy: of France, to ruin the Honk of Aufkria, and.has by that means prepared for itfelf the yoke, which they, the French, will in future impofe on it ; nay, which they have already impofed on it. Fat twee the Gasar would have aged very differently, and have done every thing not to reduce himfelf to the meaty of cubmitting implicitly to the will of France in order to catch Come little corner of territory. But let us leave politics and politicians; the end will undoubtedly crown the maflerprece of their fublime wifdom—in the mean time we private people are always the viBims. All our Governments are good for nothing. That of France alone is fall of activity and energy, and all fo well combined ! PIT? was a great man, but he was not enough acquainted with the Cabinet of Vienna, and with the Aultrian Gene rale. In a word. Europe is in a very bad filtration. France is en the point of giving laws to the world. —I confefe that this is in a great degree the fault-of Pruffia ; but the Englifk on their fide have alfo com mitted blunders that will not be eaGly repaired. PITT fhould have atchieved impofabilities to engage the King of Proffia and his Miniftry, to declare againft France. ' When Naroxson puffed the Inn, the RUC- Bans &odd have occupied Bamberg,Wurtzburgand the Upper Palatinate, and the defeat of the French was inevitable."

A day fo truly inclement as Wednefdaylall proved, has not occurred in this dittria for many years pall. From break of day to day-clNre ' the wind blew ex ceediagly keen and brills from the North, accom panied by a fhower of fnow that continued, without a moment's cellation, to fall, for upwards of twelve hours. By four o'clock in the afternoon, the greets here, to bodes and carriages, were nearly impaffable, and but very few pedeftrians could adventure from their bonito. The Rage coaches from London to this place, with an extra number of Ise/ries, at a late hour in the evening, but with extreme hazard and difficulty, happily reached the place la fafety. The coach from Chichefter, after a narrow efcape of being istimerfed in the mud of the river Adds, was compel led to Rop at Shoreham, from whear aix ; t o t i r th heavy cart horfes, after tome hours hard 6 . It was dragged to this place. /. The moll melancholy accounts which the incle mency of Wednefday, however, produced in this neighbourhood, were as follow s The firm, from the Immenfe (well which a Rrong northerly wind invari ably occafions in that part of the Channel, two of our Using boats were in a moll perilous &nation, for many hours, off &achy Head; one of which, H. MAILIFORD, owner, eventually funk; by which ac cident H. Masaroan, his fon, and apotherperfon, periffied. The other boat weathered the gale, and arrived here in fafety. . A &cool melancholy catalltopbe we have to relate in the unhappy fate of Mr. W. Nemo., a baker of this town, and a man Much and dekrvedly eatemed. Mr. NIVILL had taken refreffiments at the Public honk, at Copper's-Gap, about three miles from home, at an ally hour in the evening, which bode he fooeafter left on horfeback, to proceed for this town. lb the morning, about eight o'clock, about a mile eaftward of Copper's-Gap, Mr. N. was found completely frozen to death, and conveyed, to the tavern at Hove. His horfe was wandering about in the (now, about half a mile from him, but had re ceived no injury. In Mr. Navizza's pocket were found drafts to the amount of sool. :and calk and notes to the amount of 571. Iss. which are all in fate hands. The deceafed has left eight children, and a wife pregnant with the ninth, to lament his lots. Yeßerday the immenfity of fnow op the ground prevented the Stage• Coaches as 0141. from leaving this place for London. The Mail, which from Lon don generally arrives here before (even o'clock in the morning, did not reach the town yeßerday until Come time after one o'clock P. M. Towards the evening of yellerday, however, a ge neral thaw took place; and this day we have had many heavy fhowers of rain. The inundation at this time, of the Suffex dialid, is indeed complete, and prefents a fccne too defolate and dreary to be defcribed. Tucfday, the Pionourable Hamar Esteems took the oaths and his feat in the Courts of Selimn sad luiliciary at Edinburgh, as Lord Advocate of Scot and, as did Joint CLRIK,Efq. as Solicitor General. Dr. BALFOUR, of Glafgow, prefented to Lady Yeller's Church, in Edirthurgh, has declined to ac• cept the prefentation.

We have received American papers to the 9th ult. Mr. Web NT'S Bill for the protation of American Sesiien, has paired on tout (mind reading. The Bill is generally condemned by the American pipers. It is dated from Watjaingion s that a propofition has been fubmitted and mated in the Honfe of Re. prefethatives, the obje& of which was to place ander the direBion of the Prefident, a fum not exceeding two millions of dollars, for the purchafe of the Flo- , rides. • A Bill has beet brought into the Senate to prohi. bit the trade with St. Domingo ; and nti tip h A! • lotted to clear out froth an Aonerican port, to any place within the limits of the illanslof St. Domingo. One of the Norfolk (Virginia) papers mentions, on the authority of the Mallet of a (charmer froth Guadeloupe, that two Ftenehline of battle thips had arrived at Mattinico, cuppohd to be part of the Rochefort filnadron—but we incline to difcredit the flatement. It likewife mentions, that two of the Cot k fleet, captured by this lquadron, had attired at Guadaloupe the 17th Janualry ; but that a third, which had felkn into the enemy's bands, bid been re•eapi at cd. A French Chet was Peen on the 27th of December by Captain Sotrirworra, fleeting W. S. W. but nei ther the latitude nor longitude are mentioned.

Pras.—On Tuefday morning lift a fire was dig covered in Mr. Chelon's buildings, in a court, be: tween the Old and New Irtkles, Birmingham. Two houfes were burnt, but from the extraordinary exer tions made by fome of the Volunteer Affociation and others, who, at the hazard of their own lives, refcued two frnall children from the flames, it WAS prevented from extending farther. In makinhe new turnpike road between Man cheller and Middleton, the workmen lately difcover ed, in CollyhuNt Clough, a large quantity of human bones, and IA week they found a coffin, in a fla e of middling prefervatinn, containing a human &tie ton. It appears that the ground alluded to had hero ufed as a receptacle for the dead at periods when Mancheller was suited by the plague. In confequence of a butcher, of Stretf rd, near Manchefter, having difappeared from the period of the lan flood, a repos t prevailed, that an Apparition. had been frequently feen, at Midnight, near CrrAi bridge, between Stretford and Col-wt.-dicer, where there is generally a lianding pool of waters a town', meeting was convened, which came to a refoluLle"n of having she place pit , nped dry. The bulinefe Was ac . eoidingly undertaken, rot.!, After feveral days labour. completed on Tharfdat, when the body of tiro butcher WAS found. He was generally fuppofed to have been robbed and murdered ;-but, on examining the body, money, and other valuables, were found in his pockets ; a circumftance which evidently proves his death to have been accidental. •1 1 J , •A ~..~
