Korcii.--ellle are concerned to state, that there has been a Areadfal hurricane is the western part Of this country. It lasted one day and two nights; every tree has been kWh up by the roots, and every kind of eulti vation laid waste, towns and villages have been deluged 1 and all perfectly destroyed. But few people have lost their lives; cattle, however, of all descriptions, except ' iog buffaloes, have, in many places, been nearly extir pated ; the water generally in the open country was running fonr feet deep, and earn a ere rarriest away many miles by the force of the wind. The hurricane had.not been felt at Moll on the 29th of last month, hut they bad experienced eight days of high wind, rain and such constant clouds, that the sun was a stranger to that capital. The rains, Baugh not heavy, had yet been constant siuce the 12th of July : too a seed of cot ton bad been *men up to the former date, whilst the raSo crops had rutted. Seri. 25.—A frigate of 46 guns, for Isis Majesty's tier viee,was floated out of the Bombay dock on the s:ls inst.: she is named the Scriugapatem, and is state .! to be con structed on a theory ealrnlated to eorubiue :he greatest stability with the least possible resistance to her sailing ; and he esiesidered altogether to be one of the most formidable ships of war, of her class, known. 801111AT.-06Thnrs.lav morning Isis Majesty's sloop of war Curlew, Captain Walpole, from ilusliire the 2d September, and Muscat the flth September, anchored in this harbour. fly this vessel we understand that letters have been received from Captain Stonier, of his AI okay's 47th Kegiim-nt, who was some months since deputed by the Supreme tiovernment to the camp of ibralteem Pack*, commanding the Turkish troops. which had subdued the power in Arabia, and eccopied the tract of coun try bordering on the PersiaaOalph. Capt. &tinier landed at the port of Khatief, which he found in the possession of the Arab Shiekha, on the 11th of July, and, after very considerable diffienhies, arrived at CI Ahsa,tinder the es ' curt of a Bedouin Sheikh, whose protection seemed of a very suspicious is store. Captain &tallier was to proceed forward on the 22t1 July, to join the Paella's camp, which was said to he at the distance of ten or twelve days march front CI Absa. The Pacha seems to he withdrawing the whole of his forces front the shores of the Persian (inlph, either finding himself not powerful enough to retain his conquests, or that their possession was nut worth the expense. The whole of Deryals, lately a populous rity, , had bees rased to the ground. The country through which Capt. Saillier passed is stated 'le he an entire desert, inhabited by the wildest race of nedouins. Contests between the different tribes were frequently occurring even in view of Isis tent., attended with malt slaughter. The Imaum of Mutat was blockading. the port Kassel ; against which a considerable bud) of his troops had advanced by land. SUUTH AMERICA. The latest intelligence from South torrica confirms the pleasing account of the Nieces, of the Inderendent forces. No doubt can now be saaintaincil !l ie i ssu e of Ibis contest. Destitute of power, an.l still m.re des titate of public confidence; struggling for exigence even in the very quarter where despotism has g;ontiteil for ages, the Spastieb.Liovernmeat finds itself inealiAle of forager opposing the march of freedom and independ ence; and will, we hope, now resign a cot,trsi which from its tint cotuuteneeitient Las been hopele-s and absurd.

These mews are highly probable, and may even be considered as certain ; hut as upon them depinds the fate of all America, I cannot feel tranquil until I receive their otlieial con- Ovulation. Perhaps before that time ire shall be in formad, through New Uraoada, of the effort of tleneral Santander to ;dace himself in connection with Lord Cochrane, who will unquestionably desire this. whenever be is informed that we are masters of the port of Choc°. 'That of San Beene-Ventura presents to him a nand Nation of the inmost advantage for his operations, by 'limns of which we mar treat with the flovernment of 1.1011 much more directly, and operate in connexion ; anti that still more ads antageousl . , if Peru be already tree. Then will be verified what I said to the President when he entered New I iranatle :—" There are evolutions in polities, as in war; and I am of opittioe, that we. ought to cheap froos, hr turning our 31'1'116611 to the South Sea.

The chief Witten are milli . Teapot'. sible on this poise. There are reports *Melt say, that some swiss regiments, the regiment of Prince Hohenlest, and even some French regiment., have received orders •to march to the Spanish frontiers, but this is coati tiered as impossible. V,,e ti, J•5l. 31.--. The President of the Deputation of the Committee of the Sinking Fund has reported, that to -day there will be burnt, on the glad., redeemed bonds of the old debt, bearing interest to the amonnt of 6;166,693 florins, the interest of which was 125,006 levies. On the 4th and 7th of February, there will burnt redeemed hoods to the amount of 49,000,060 which have been put out of circulation since March 16i 1616. Acconnts from the Turkish frontiers, of the 10th of this mouth, say, that the reports are cootirmed of the breaking out of serious disturbances in yarion• parts of Asiatic Turkey, especially in the neighboarbooil or ilagdat. Two Pathos had' been forced to fly,- and the leaders of the rebels have made themselves masters of several towns. Troops are collecting with all baste te r restore order. Well informed persons assert that Persia has some share in these troubles, and that the eldest' son of the Sebach had laid the plan to seise on Syria and some of the adjacent pros ince., and with this view continually excites troubles. The Porte is said to bare obtained important information on this subject. It is further reported, that the Wachabites hare again takeht up arms, and have been joined by gre.st numbers of ad herents. DEATH OF DR. DRE.V.V.IN. On Saturday morning, the 15th of February, IPSO, died is Belfast, Do . ctor William Drennan, aged 113 years. No epoch of time can he more interesting to the historian than the few preceding years. Empires pew and vanished—conquerors rose and fell—and, in Ireland, the betel of death was not idle amongst its most valuable sons. Flood and Curran, and Jones and Drennan, hare disappeared—aed now, with the exception of aged °rattan, are nearly hid from our view the luminaries of that period, when the patriotism of Irishmen bad reached its comas.—When the fathers of the land are gots, , well may we weep with oar widowed cou ntry'—for what eye shall now watch—what ear listen—what heart throb— what hand pen—and what tongue thunder out vengeance against the foes and oppressors of Ireland, inner these men are no more, and Irishmen are orphans! Born in' the North, and tmeght under the influence of the most independent religion in the world—through life, Hven. nan spoke and wrote most liberally on all religions topics—no bigot in himself, be contemned bigotry in others;—the son of a Calvinist, he was the best. the warmest advocate of Catholic Emancipation; end that cause, enfeebled by the frailty of its owls sons. and enervated by . the fallibility of notetailole advocates of other persuasions, has lest in this man an advocate, me eqsalleil in uniformity of opinion, and unchanged by the shifts of Creams sod Mitres, on the ahem-beard Europe. He wrote and spoke for the Vassar. because the Catholic was chained ; and he wont. hem Witten aid spoken for the persecuted slave of as/ Warr Cline. Sian code, under similar grievances. • The most liberal of arts" was the onternetinan was destined to fill. Is Newry, he very 'stressfully prac tised as a Physician ; aud there sonic of his happiest strokes of poetical Itemise appeared. Afterwards, the capital was chosen by 'him, as a field, wide in extent, and more likely of success. In Dublin, Drearen shone more in polities than in physic. In his time there, Irish enthusiasin, and Irish pride, had swollen to a panting pitch; and he yielded himself, his genius. and his pen. to the cause thit then was warming every Wart, aud charging every tongne.—Disappoioted by subsequent eyelets, he again returned to the re-bracing air of the North ; end, although he could point his finger to thOn sands, who knelt at the receiving of, and afterwards ceaselessly violated, the" test oath, " vet Ise, the Author, sever departed from a particle of its principles, nor for got the binding nature of a Patriot's rolvottary oak As a writer, the pathos which he threw into the softer strain of his fugitive pieces; the clear perspicuity of his political compositions; the keen edge that sharpened kis satire, and tbe expressive ardour and harmony that breathed through his poetry, are strong proofs how well Drennan could toaster his I,en. His mind was endowed with a large %toek of classical knowledge derived friou profound erudition, and he was never at a loss for a, wurd to convey his idea, or for a quotation to ronfirm , any point at • issue. He has written many beautiful poeu s. ebiefly domestic or political, and ntimiterless pieces its prose : of the latter, the " Letters of Orelitea." ItialAddresses to the Irish Volunteers, and mane,amest important Essays on Home Education, delivere r to fits Belfast Institution, (of which he was the corner stone) stand conspicuous. The retrospect of polities le the Belfast Magaxime, will retain to the world the depdt of his political reasoning. He also traoltatect the ty*Sophoeles, and several of Cieere's' Letters. His latter days termed with acts of benevolence, sap bursts of patriotic enthusiasm. No 'occasion orretteretki in which the interests of Ireland, or of her snhappy.l, children, were endangered, that Drennan did not, like., Cineinnatus, leave his fields and his gardens, morn to, the tower, and again resume the neat of the pflerjetic monitor; and this, till within a few hourelif Hewes ewers tblf young adyentertritii titi• world ; and there are not a few in Beth'', wise teif tee.' tify to the caution he would inculcate in basiairte L itail the alacrity he would keep alive in principle. ' The Minerva-like wisdom of the widow he lan himself arknowledgert—and who was, in every way: . meet partner for anch a man. The children of Drennan, under such a mother, will surely lose none of their fa titer's greatness. Ferrari, thou advocate of weeping and widowed Ire. ] lead! thus friend of snags, In every clime and country r May the youth of that land, thou se well named " Emerald Isle." emulate, if not equal thy fervour of na. OMNI devotion—and may every Irishman, who wished to retain the name of patriot, come to thy Arks% iertoke thy name, and iwitate thy example.—(Dakie, FM. la) .-.- • . . . 1, - _yaNdir4l DAY AT Olig O'CLOCK.
