The Tempest on Wednesday night was the most violent ever remembered. At Ports mouth the hurricane seems to have been most awful. The tide rose six inches beyond its greatest height at any former -period r and the difference between the even. ing and morning tide was five feet perpendicular. At Margate, the Marquis of Wellesley East Indianian is on shore, but will be got off. At Ram/gate the Asia East Indiaman, is on shore on the Main. The Fly cutter lost her foremast and bowsprit, and above twenty other ships received damage and left their cables and anchors.. A t Cowes, for forty years pcst the tide was never:ll:town to be so high, and the intelligence from Deal, Wey-., mouth, and Southampton, is equally distressing. The hurricane was such as to create the utmost alarm also on shore, where every moment it was feared it would have been accompanied with some great convulsion of nature. The stairs, Tiers, am' sr a walls about Ilaslar and South Sea Castle are considerably damaged ; and the whole of that beautiful and useful work, the New Pier at r.yde,ll said to have been almost totally des troyed. We are concerned to add, that between Rams gate anit Broadstairs several dead bodies have been cast on chore. Papers to a late date have been reccive3 during 1.1.:e week, hut their contents arc unimportant. Letters frora Fans announce that the Police had errented three indivi,ludlA who were suspected of not being uncon :.(rtial in the attempt upon the Duke of Wellington. a ilainburgh mail arrived.

" C E\o.l, FEB. For.ign Jaarnal, in montion in& the law events at Algiert, has committed some mis takes which may be rectified as follows, from authentic information:— " The Sardinian br:g was not deelarz.l a price, the cargo was pillaged, but the vessel ar.dl crew were set at liberty, and the Captain had his freight pail him. It is not the son of the English Consul that the Dey com manded to be arrested, but a person oF the name or Ben Zaman, son of gn ancient Erig.'sli Vice-Consul.— This young man has not been imprisoned, 'alt obliged to become a Musselma7:, and the Dey has given him an employment in his ser% ice. Lastly, it is not the dauglitc:. of the Sardinian Via.; Consai :) had leen carried cif and situt up in the .'.Seraglio, but the daughter et( a per son named Ponsibinic, a Sardinian subject, who, after having been twe,:ty years in slavery at Algiers. 11%)W lives at libe.ty a:)kl carries on a little trlle. This young person is only the God-daughter of M. alini, the Sardinian Viue.Consul, who lags formerly been se— veral tires in Africa. The Finance Committee in its progressive labortrs has just bi - oc:-1 - it out its Seventh Report ; this Report relates wholly to the Army Estimates, and is nsit/wr interesting by any detection of evravagance, or regula tion of economy; a clause of the first paragraph is per haps the most important, which states that the num bers on the present Army Estimates beiow those of 1817 are diminished (only) by about 2000 men, anti that this reduction takes place in the troops stationed in Ireland, the remainder upon every other home and fo reign station continuing. nearly upon the former esta blishment. The estimates for 1817 were 2,31;1,3771. and for 1818, 3,277,3741. bcing less in the latter year by 71,0021. l Os. ; but what is more singttlar still, is, that the Staff for 1813 is more than that o - f the preced ing year by 3,7541: - Li the course of a cenversation which :rose in the House of Commons on Wednesday night, on the motion of Mr. Brougham, for the appointment of a Com mittee to enquire w:lat steps had been adopted fur de stroying the documents relative to the deceased Pro perty Tax., the Chancellor of the Exchequer unequivo cally declared, that it was not his intention, under any circumstances, during a period of peace, to propose a revival of that Tax. This declaration of the Right Hon. Gentleman is importaLt, inasmuch as it will dissi pate the upprehensions entertained by many persons, that an attempt to revive this oppressive Tax, not withstanding.the declared opinion of the country on the subject, would form one feature of the financial system to be submitted to the new Parliament. The following is an Extract of a Letter, received in town on Friday morning, from the Captain of the ship Romulus, bound to Norfolk (Virginia), lying in the Downs.:— " In the tremendous gu:e of Wednesday night, a ship, totally dismasted, went down under his stern, and all hands on board-pc:is!ied ; he could not render any as sistance, but was 'forced to cut his two cables and run for llamsgate Harbour, not being able to ride oat the gale ; he states that upwards of 9.20 vessel; were on shore at different parts of the coast." A Court of Common Council was held at Guildhall, Friday, when an Especial Committee was appointed to report to the Court on the order of the House of Commons, (in pursuance of Mr. H. Sumner's motion,) requiring the Corporation to lay their accounts before that house.—Mr. Woodthorpc, Jun. was appointed Deputy Town Clerk, and Anthony Harrison, was elected a Mdrshalman in the room of D. Cartwright, deceased. There will be several new candidates for the City of Lon. A public meeting of Mr. Waitliman's friends is advertised for Thursday next, and it is intimated that Mr. Ala. horp intends to start on the populariaterest.. A ni.•ticn was lately made in the Legislature of 'Massachusetts, to alter, by lan), the names of the days in the week, in consequence of their being derived from the Mather: God. f. We are yet to learn the fate of this motion, which only could have originated in a land of notions. A meeting took place Monday last, in the Grand Jury Room, in the Castle at Oakharn, Wien a union cf Rutland with Stamford in a Saving Bank was decided on.
