r ... JIM! rCA. ctmesrow, u U 12. On thursday afternoon, last week, about two o'clock. the barrhcks and buildings at Fort Au gusta received considerable injury by a whirlwind. which, before its approach to the Fort, was ob served to carry wkh it or destroy evety thing that sate within its reach. The.whole of the Officers' ma barracks was unroofed. the back, or South-west part, completely demolished, and the other walls were rent to several places ; the guard-house shat tered and removed from, its situation ; several of the out-offices destroyed. and the privy on the sea shore, with other saran.buildinypi, entirely carried away. Nothing of the South-west part of the bar racks ie left but the fl or. Happily no lives were lost. The heavy and incessant rain the same night wady overflowed the apartments of the Officers, which had been, by this visitation of Providence, exposed to the inclemency ofthe weather. • In addition to the damage mentioned in our last to have been sustained by the lightning. on Finlay rti *ming., we have to mention that the lodging stt Miss Graham, in Upper Princess-street, received considerable dataage, and that four large mirrors, several shades, and au the glassi-ware in the house. were demolished. The floe Guinea man, lying in the harbour, was also struck with it, her deck very much injured. and her sails re. duced W shreds, Ike and the snow rorh bad her main-mast split. The ura.t of a Spanish schooner was likewise &track, and the iron hoops by which it was bound forced off, and a strong iron bolt broken. It also horst the pump cf the same ves sel below the deck, the part above remaining us:- hurt. Me St. Yet, At la Vega Gaielee, of the sth inst. states, that the rains Lave been equilly as heavy and incessant in the neighbourhood of 4panish Tow. as they were in this City ; but that no otn;:r damage, as is known. has as yet laerii than the roads, particularly in the mountains, severely rat up and injured, aud several fens at Sak•Pottds having had many ►beep washed away a 4 drowned. THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, FRIL:a L. Ni VE:.111E11 G.

We see nothing Swill Or injuri sus to every member of the floes- Dons, io ilie a tpposition ; and if his chance of ex pelling doeue Kt a from his throne has bzeome desperate, it he has hold out until there no longer exits a rational hope of success, we can conceive circumstances, in a hich his acceptance of an t quiva lent, may not necessarily involve a loss of honour. Among the obrEls her which the Allied Powers have been so long contending against Prance, was an equivalent hor the King of SARDINIA—toId will it he that they sought to cover him with sh sme alld di.grace The ST ADS' NOLDeII accepted the bishopric of Fulda from Doe.% AAAAA as an indem nification for his Throne, now 6Ued by an Usurper; and we beli.•e the STALITSIOLCieII, so tar from feeling himself insulted and degraded, would feby sati•SoZ, were he suffered to qu;etly enjoy his halemeity. Many other Princes and Po tentates have been dispossessed by dom. their hereditary donoiltions, and obliged to accept in exchange territories of very inferior value ; but, in yielders to this teed necessity, they have never been considered as torWting their honour. Ye: 'h.:if are cases of Princes in the a.'lual enjoyment of sovereign )g, de pos. if the night rosily conceive in what horror the midnight murderer of the DukePP'Etaniaa mss,patent himer tt the royal sieFrilioes of that amiable and Bi-iied Prince, Ind we do not think OK from '44 hand the Bove eons ought to receive thei r . daily bread; bet if thsrliopetor of Roasts and Engladd were to stipulate for an indemnification for the Boomtown, as one of the terms of peace with Boos 'AßT', such indemnity becomes a matter o( right. and is no hoots from B . And if no• chance remain of any thing better, we see no loss df honour in yielding to necessity% Some cf the Papers state, that the Expedition, under Sir SIDSZY Swum will sail in a kw days; but we are inclined to think, that it is yet far front being complete, and that it will be upon a larger scale than report has seated.—The Expedition to Zealand was .firif annourt:ed as a naval squadron, of five or six ships, under command of Sir SA Mt.EL HOOD. It continued to increase in numbers, and the addition of Officers, senior tar Sir SA Ill:EL HOOO, until it acquired its full magnitude, and then, and not until then, Admiral Gametes was brought forward as the Commander in Chief.—When it did sail, it proceeded in several divisions, P. which the Ministerial Prints assigned so many distils& destinations; the military force, under Lurd CA THCA was also supposed to hare an oi,j"l totally different from the Ac-t ; and it was not until the whole naval and military force joined at co penha:;en, that the plan was fully unfoLed. Il.e new expedition 11.16 commenced in the same It beg in a few days ago, with five thiFt, they are already inaeased to to; and we 5!...11 not be surprisedio see them receive a much greater aug mtutation.

Hoe. 8 The virtues of this venerable Prelate, who has juts • , closed his mortal career. were of the most benevo. lent and amiable kind. With great learning, he was modest ; though raised to the highest station, • r he was meek and htnutte. His religion was a re- o ligion of the mind; practised in all the concerns ef v lite. without austerity, and free from oitentetion I a ~. stria integrity. and high sense of hones:, wise con. • spicuous in all his dealings; and his promises were unbroken. The mildness of his temper rendered him indulgent to the faults amines. and made Mai a condescending, engaging. and ion/ acting compa- nion. Those who. in early life, bad the happiness of being his . pup:is, universally agree. that, as an in. struaor, he bad no equal. it is difficult to say. whether be molt excelled in his manner of convey. • ing kaowledge,or in escitiog youth to laudable per- suits ; in scaring their minds with good principles. or in eradicating bad; in extolliag the happiness of 1 virtue. or in exposing the misery of via,. His know. ledge in Greek and Roman literature was universal I his taste pure, and his topographical accuracy most uncommon; with thee: requisites, he never failed ' to. insure the attention of his scholars. and to enliven hit lectures by pleasing and interesting anecdotes. He was so perlealy master of the proem increetises 1 , ir d:fierent dispositions, that the s ddicus were ever • ambitious of his praise. whilst the idle feared his re- buke. A:ter baying successively presided over three great seminaries, Westminster . and Christ• church, his chataaer and learning recernmendel him as worthy to direa the education of their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the take of York; an event which, notwithstanding some illi. beral opposition, led to.that rank. which ha so ho. nom ably reached. end so creditably filled. It does not appear that the Archbishop of York ' w.O ever engaged in works for the press, though ao one was more consulted by others. in the great assembly of Peers he seldom spoke I bas, wine axe attacked, in a very pointed mauter, for pasty pule poses. he defended himself with great spirit and elo. quake. He was net a Ileid nor a frequent preach. er. He particularly disdained those are by which popularity is often acquired from the pulpit : bit. in tee ezereires of his clerical funaions, his ye ce was clear, distinCt, mad melodious. His lanyra to was remarkable tor- its simplicity and elegance ; his sentences were concise and perspicuous; and his meaner in public, as in private, was animated, dig. nifieJ, and persuasive. In all the relations of life, this truly great man was peculiarly happy. As a husband he was be. Lived; as a father, revered ; as a master, served with affeehon; as a patron and benefaftor a his bounties were telt and gratefully acknowledged. His esta- blishment was princely without parade, and his hos• pitalny noble. By his assisting band the therzhes - of York, Ripon, and Sout,hvrell, were ritpaired,cron. mented, and brawled. Throegbout an extensive diocese, his clergy looked up to him with mpea and dererence ; and all listened to him with love and admiration. He was blessed with six sou and seven daughters. Eleven of his children survive , lsim. One daughter died in the prime of you Is ; and a beloved and gallant son, alter having obtain. ed the rank of lieutenant-colonel in the army, fell His in toe service of his King and country. His Grace had the happiness of seeing some of Isis children grzatle, and others well allied ; with the additional satisfaaion, in his declining years, of view- ing the foundation of a large posterity, annually in- creasing through a lengthening chain of fifty grand.. children. To enumerate all the great qualities of this vene- rable man is not possible. 'those who have beard his sentiments, and listened to his precepts, mil feel that nothing in this hasty delineation ss eitaggeneeti; they will recognise, with pleasure. some of thole traits which their owa tecollealtion cannot fall Se confirm.
