.111L'1" 19. month the town and valley of Orbee were made the victims of a storm, which occasioned the greatest disasters. A continued r►in at th 2 commencement caused the river to overflow its bunks; a frightful torrent soon overturned 300 feet of a wall, tore up the street, which had been newly paved, undermined the foundations of an inn, and overthrew an adja cent house. The river then directed its course to the valley, where it destroyed every hope of harvest, A million and a half of kilogrammes of corn have been overwhelmed. The loss to the farmers is esti mated at nearly 500,000 fraacs ; that of the inha bitants of the tow.. is alto considerable." The:, French Five .per Cents. are at 70 1.

Ladies in full dresses, began to arrive at the •House of Peers by eleven o'clock, and the concourse of people in the Park and streets has not been exceeded for some • ...ears past. The Prince Regent left St. James's palace in the state carriage at 25 minutes to two o'clock. His Royal Highness entered the House of Peers at two o'clock, and was announced by a royal salute from cannons placed on the Lambeth shore. His Royal Highness remained in the house exactly 26 minutes. . The Name Regent gave a grand fancy dress-ball ' on Thursday night at Carlton House, at which most of the distinguished persons who yet remain in town were present. Several of the Ladies' dresses were very superb, characteristic, and critically correct in costume. The company were, however, sore dis tinguished fi,r their formality than vivarityast the commencement of the evening, but as the-4;one grew late, reserve began to vanish ; mud sevessd•supportei the characters they assumed with pleasantry and writ. The magnificent apartments through which they meandered were decorated with infinite taste, seri the supper was most superb, and exhibited a sp:endid display .of princely munificence Among the Ladies whose .dreases attracted much notice, were the Duchess of Bedford, the Marchioness of Hertford, Countess of Mexborough and Warwick, Ladies Trollope, Otwav, Pack, Boston, Seymour, Berresferd. &c. &c. Most of the Gentlemen wore Regimental uniforms, and some few fancy dresses. On Tuesday the Princess Augusta, accompanied by the Earl of Winchelsea, General Garth, and Miss Disbrow, enjoyed- the diversion of fishing, at Vir ginia-waters. The Princess partook of some re- . freshment at Mr. Johnson's. Her Royal Highness arrived at her apartments in the lute Queen's-pa 'awe on Thursday afternoon. A discovery has taken place which has disap painted the fond wishes of two lovers in high life, and totally deranged the hopes and expectations of the family done of the parties. A youog Nobleman, heir apparent to a Marquis, was lately on the eve of marriage with the interesting and accomplished daughter of an Earl. Every preparation was made, • and the day fixed for the completion of their mutual happiness, when a fatal defect was discovered in the pedigree of the noble suitor, which has cheated him of his fondest holes.. . An action of er;)II: Cots, in high life, in a forward state, hus recently fallen to the ground, to the great disappointment of the gentlemen of the long robe. The unfortunate lady. who was the suLject of the action has paid the debt of nature. There are already six thousand special constables sworn in before the Aldermen of the City of Lon don, to preserve the peace of the metropolis on Wed nesdoy next. The arrangements made at the office the Secretary of State for the Flume :)ipartmear, fur the same purF•osc, are on e. most extensive scale. After the 28th instant, the London and Yar mouth mails will be conveyed in a patent mail conch, which will teasel so much quicler than the usual mode of conveyance as to enable that town to answer letters one day earlier than heretofore. The nail leaving London at the usual time, will arrive 't Yarmouth at 1 th. 40m.- the next morning, and dcpert at 3 the same afternoon. , Yarmouth 1:4 424 miles from fondon, and it will be the only town in the kingdom at so ~teat a distance enjoying such accommodation. _ _ .............. s.notlacr. part of our raper to-day will be found en account of the procctdings at a meeting held on Saturday of the Propricims of Drury•lane e' Theatre.

Letters from Amsterdam, received yesterday, mention a report being prevalent there of the plague being at Mogadore, and consequently persona who were about to go there deferred doing so, until it was-ascertained whether there-was any truth in the report or not.
