PARIS, OCT. 2. (From a Morning Contemporary.) The letters and papers received to-day from Mar seilles inform us that tranquillity had been entirely restored in that city, and that the promptitude and vigour with which the daring attempts of the Carlists were met, on the part of the great majority of the population and the authorities, were likely to be at tended with the best effects. An embargo had been laid on the Carlo Alberto, in compliance with orders from the Government transmitted by telegraph. That vessel underwent a very strict search, And it was reported in Marseilles that some roll> important documents had been found in her. Their contents, however, did not transpire ) neither is anything yet known here respecting their nature. The accounts from the south of the 29th and 30th are looked for with much curiosity, as it continues to be believed that a general movement, or attempt at insurrection, would be made on the birthday of the Duke de Bordeaux. Nothing like anxiety or alarm, how ever, prevails in consequence of the expectation of such an attempt, the only feeling which it excites being that of regret at the infatuation of a set of men who persist in risking their lives for a cause which every day's experience ought to teach them to regard as entirely hopeless. There are letters from Constantinople to the 7th of September, being three days later than the accounts from that city which have preceded them. It is said in these letters that the Sultan, it was believed, had applied to the Russians for troops to defend him against his own dissatisfied subjects ; and that, in consequence of such an application, the English and French squadrons will remain off the Dardanelles. It is added, that the English and French ambassadors had protested against the re admission of Russian troops to the very gates of the capital, but that this step on their part had been disregarded by the Sultan. These incidents, how ever, were not known in an authentic manner to the Writers of the letters, who therefore allude to them as being merely reported to have occurred. LISBON PAPERS. PALACE DAS NECESSIDADES, SEPT. 14.—His Imperial Alajesty the Duke of Braganza, being informed that the enemy was attacking in force the line from the fort of St. Joan to the left, went from the Palace at 26 minutes past six in the morning, accompanied by the Commander of the Artillery and his aide•de•camp, to a point from which he could observe the motions of the enemy, and give his Imperial orders accordingly. Lieutenant General the Count de Saldanba, the Duke of Terceira, all the Generals, StHff.officers, and Com rnanders of corps, were at their respective forts, and his Imperial Majesty had the satisfaction to see that the enemy, pursued and routed by our artillery and musketry, found safety in the most disgraceful and precipitate flight, suffering great loss in killed and wounded—the cowards not daring to stop till they lost sight of the valiant de fenders of constitutional legitimacy;—another day of glory and triumph for the arms of the Queen, and of shame and confusion for Bourmont and his Vandals. It was 10 o'clock when his Imperial Majesty returned to the Palace, and at 11 he attended mass in the chapel. SEPT. 10.—Our frigate, the Don Pedro, anchored in front of Xabregas, and our redoubts and batteries kept up a destructive fire:on the enemy; but as they were advancing against our positions, and were being charged by the Queen's troops with the bayonet, they shamefully fled to the rear. The enemy left on the field 4S killed, and many wounded, whom we humanely sent to the hospitalq. His total loss may be calculated at between two and three hundred men.—Lisbon Papers, Sept. 17. THE OLD THEATRE, SHREWSBURY. The very ancient and spacious structure on St. John's-hill, in this town, in modern times occupied as a theatre, was this week razed to the ground. The walls were more than four feet thick; but, in consequence of passages having been cut out of the walls, they, as well as the roof, were ut terly dangerous; and the calamitous deaths oc casioned in June, in 1821, by the falling of a wall, must be in the memory of many of our readers. When or by whom the structure was built, is unknown. Phillips, in his History of Shrewsbury (published in 1789), states that, in the year 1326, it was then " in the possession of John de Charlton, Lord of Powis, who obtained leave of King Edward to fortify it with a wall of stone, embattled." This Hall was afterwards granted to the family of Warring, at 133. 4d. rent. The fol lowing extracts are from a MS. in the Exchequer, at Shrewsbury, marked A. 34. " Henry Gray, Earl of Tankerville, and Lord of Powis, gave to Thomas de Bromley of Salop, merchant, one messuage or dwelling house, called Charlton Hall, with the buildings and nine tenements, two cellars, with a garden, and all other lands belonging to the said messuage, lying in the town of Salop, in length between a parcel of waste ground called Behind the Walls, on the one part, and in breadth between the land of William Alytton,Esq. and the land of John Grace. Dated Anno Henry VI. 24." The Grant runs thus : " One great Hall called Charlton Hall, one great Stone adjoining to the said Hall, one large Cellar under the said Hall, and one great Garden enclosed on either side with a atone wall, which (to wit the said Hall, Cellar, and Gar den) lie together in Salop, in a street called Shoplatch, extending in length by the King's Highway, to that part of the King's Highway leading from the aforesaid street towards the (old) Church of St Chad. Dated Anno Henry VI. 49." During the last few weeks, in taking down this ancient structure, which has existed so many cen turies, nothing of importance has been discovered, ex cept a few gothic tiles, and ancient pipes for smoking. A human skull was discovered secreted in the roof, and some consternation was visible among the workmen, who expected thence to trace a horrid murder ! But the fact is, the skull had been hid by a man who belonged to the theatre, that it might be produced when wanted for Hamlet's grave-digger or other theatrical representations. The purchaser of the late building is Mr. Bennett, the respectable proprietor of the Worcester and other theatres, and he is about to erect here a modern and elegant building for theatrical talent and scenic display. The building will have handsome shops on the ground floor; and the interior of the theatre will be adapted to musical festivals, masquerades, lecture or auction rooms, &c. We hope the pro prietor will be amply rewarded by public patron age.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. We are happy to learn, by further arrivals from Davis' Straits, that the whale fishing continues to be uncommonly successful.

DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE. --On Thursday evening, four respectably dressed N ou o nladies were walk ing along the foot pavement neary passed b y House, Strand, when some costermongers i d o n r i e eats: cart,sa o and in a moment the ladies found th m e i i x r t s u i r i bonnets covered over with a thick lamp oil.

DREADFUL OCCURRENCE. —On Wednes day afternoon, Daniel, eon of Mr. Jones, farmer, of Seend, who had been on permanent duty in the Wiltshire Yen. manry Cavalry, returned home, and, after changing his clothes, took his pistol from the bolster, and again pro ceeded towards Devizes. When about a mile on the road, be fired the contents of the pistol just above his heart, and expired in a very few minutes. The wound was four inches long, and the shirt of the unfortunate man was burnt entirely off his breast by the explosion..—Devizes Gazette. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1833. We have heard this morning, from a very respectable quarter, that the King of SPAIN is dead. This personage, however, has been killed so repeatedly by the journals, that we will not guarantee the authenticity of the information on even the respectable authority from which we have received it, more particularly as we find, upon inquiry, that no intelligence of this kind has reached the French embassy. The latest official accounts from Madrid, received by the French Charge d'Affaires are, we under stand, dated the 24th ult., at which time the King of SPAIN was exceedingly ill, and little expectation was entertained of his surviving long. The capital was perfectly tranquil, and every precaution had been adopted to prevent commotion when the decease of the KING should take place. It is not improbable, however, that Don CAR- Los may take advantage of the presence of BoultmoNT and his associates, to rouse the fanatics of Spain against the QUEEN, and that a civil war may be the result. BOURMONT, however, generally contrives to give his assistance to the falling cause when it is too late to be of any use, and his co-operation with the Spanish Carlists will not be of more use to his employers than that which he gave to the French CHARLES and to the usurper MIGUEL. The Lisbon Papers brought by the Savage are only to the 17th ult. According to them the route of the enemy, in the attack of the 14th, was complete. Since writing the above we have ascertained that there are official accounts of the death of the King of SPAIN. He died on the 29th ult. The Queen-Dowager has assumed the Re gency, but has not changed the Ministers. The Paris correspondent of a Morning Con temporary, in a ll u di ng to t h e state o f t h e King of SPAIN'S health, says--" The nature of the KING'S illness, it is hardly necessary to remind you, is dropsy in its most aggravated form. I have just now met a friend who left Madrid about the middle of last month, who, in reply to my inquiries respectin g the state of the KING'S health, said, Uncertain what opinion to form on the subject (from the contrariety of report n circulation), I made it my business the day before I left Madrid to ascertain with my own eyes how the matter really stood. I repaired. therefore, to the Palace, where I witnessed a scene extremely painful to any man with feelings of humanity. 1 saw King FERDINAND the Beloved, as, in 1824, I saw Louis le Desire, borne to his carriage in a species of arm-chair by six menials. His miserable frame swollen to the utmost extent of frightful deformity, his head resting on his shoulder, and his countenance expressive of exhaustion and imbecility.' Here my informant described other appearances which it is not necessary to mention, further than that the colour of the KING'S face, called by the French Physicians teint de plomb, and the other symptoms, which I suppress, convinced him (my informant), who is a professional man, that he (King FERDINAND) was in the last stage o f disease." The same authority mentions also that it was reported at Madrid that Don PEDRo bad written to his brother, Don MIGUEL, a letter, in which, after the old Greek fashion of ETEOCLES and PoLYNIcEs, he urged him in the most pressing terms to decide the fate of the war by single combat ; but that Don MIGUEL, after duly consulting with his friends, had de clined the handsome offer. Our readers may lay what stress on this rumour they please. Despatches have this day been received from Lisbon at the Portuguese Embassy, by the Savage, but they are not of so recent a date as those which arrived by the African. They give an account of the battle of the 14th, which turns out to have been a very insignificant affair, the Pedroites having had only a few men wounded, and the loss of the Aliguelites not extending to more than 200 in killed and wounded, according even to the Pedroite ac count. The German papers, which arrived this morn ing, contain an article, dated Vienna, Sept. 24, in which it is stated, that a Congress will take place in December, which will attract the attention of all Europe. One of the chief objects is said to be the establishment of a tribunal for the regulation of the press. What a nightmare this press is to the despots of the Continent. The question is, however, whe ther they will be able to find a remedy for the disease. The soothing system is the only one found useful in these cases, but that they will never attempt. At the public meeting which was held on Thursday last, at York, in honour of the late Mr. WILBERFORCE, an immense concourse of the neighbouring nobility and gentry attended. Men of every religious persuasion, Catholic and Dis senter, as well as Protestant, vied with each other in their endeavours to show respect to the memory of a man who was an honour, not to this class or to that class, but to human nature in general ; for Mr. WILBERFORCE could justly boast that for upwards of thirty years he had, night and day, been unremitting in his efforts to improve the social and moral condition of humanity. He was a philanthropist on the most magnificent and comprehensive scale; religious in the noblest sense in which the word religion can be used. Bigotry or fanaticism found no resting-place within his bosom. In the beautiful language of GOLDSMITH, never more aptly applied, he " allured to brighter worlds, and led the way." How different the fame of such a man from that noisy notoriety which dogs the heels of the conqueror ! The memory of the one lights up an instant stream of sunshine in the heart, purifying, exalting, and filling it with happy, peaceful, images ; that of the other throws a cloud over the mind, and brings vividly before it scenes of sorrow, ruin, and wholesale carnage. The name of WILBER. FORCE is written with a sun-beam in the heart ; the name of NAPOLEON, with a pen " dipped in the gloom of earthquake and eclipse." Justice now exacts her dues from both. Need we say who will gain and who will lose by her award ? It is fortunate for our immortal philanthropist, that he has lived and died in an age more com• petent than any that ever preceded it, to appre ciate his transcendent merits. The dazzling halo that once surrounded the heads of despots and conquerors, is now fast fading " into the light of common day ;" we have become asham e d of our vulgar adoration ; have taken down our gods from their lofty pedestals, and discovered at length that they were creatures of wood and clay—idols of our own base manufacture. If we bow the knee in future, it will not be to him who degrades, but to him who elevates huma nity ; not to the destroyer, but to the benefactor of his race. Therefore is it that we reverence, from the bottom of our souls, the name of WIL BERFORCE ; and while we allow that the world may rightly claim him as its own, yet take a national pride, as Englishmen, in saying " he was one of us !" Mr. WILBERFORCE lived just long enough to witness the triumph of that noble cause to which he had devoted the energies of his whole life. He heard the last cannon of the retreating enemy ; his last moments were cheered by the clank of the manacles as they were torn from the limbs of the slave. The battle he fought was long and arduous; the odds he contended against were all but overwhelming ; but he sur mounted all obstacles, and died a prouder con queror than him of Trafalgar. The speech of Lord BROUGHAM on this great occasion was worthy of himself and his subject. He thoroughly felt and appreciated the character of the man whose memory he was eulogizing ; his remarks, consequently, will be read with all the attention they deserve. All men now naturally casting their eyes about them for the fruits of Reform, the expec tations and wishes of the public being far from fulfilled by what was gathered last session, no thing is more important than that the advocates of improvement should direct public attention to what is of real and immediate consequence. Any article or argument upon abstractions which do not practically affect the common wealth, is so much force thrown away.

But it is matter of regret that an able monthly or quarterly coad jutor in the field of usefulness, should d e vote any portion of its space to an argument, which has no bearing upon any of the questions that the occasion requires to be urged. Our excel lent contemporary, "Tait," has an article in this month's Magazine, which has more especially been the cause ofthese remarks. Like some of the other monthlies of less political weight, he has thrown a fire away. This is bad policy, for it is a month before he will have another, and in the mean while the better timed discharges of our Tory adversaries have opportunity to make sad havoc among the doubtful brethren. The article in " Tait" to which we allude is entitled " Euthanasy of the British Constitution." The topics which now require to be urged upon public attention with all the force of the Liberal press are the abolition of the Corn Laws, the adoption of the ballot, of quinquennial or triennial Parlia ments, of a system of national education, of a commutation of tithes, of a more fair distribti- lion of the burden of taxation, and other prac tical measures—some of the benefits from which would, for the most part, be almost immediate. Instead, however, of any of these topics, so in teresting to the public at present, being discussed in " Tait's" October Number,we find its principal political article devoted to a matter of no more consequence than whether King JOHN signed Magna Charts with his right hand or his left. The writer, after five or six pages of not the most original matter in the world, says, " Bear. ing, then, solemnly and strongly in mind the suggestion of BURKE, that it ought to be the constant aim of every wise public counsel to find out,;by cautious experiments, and rational, cool endeavours, with how little, not with how much, restraint the community can subsist, since liberty is a good to be improved, not an evil to be lessened,' we offer the following proposi tion to the enfranchised electors of Britain, as one which is worthy of their proudest attention. It is in the concise and memorable words of the brilliant opponent of BURKE—the Burke of less auspicious days, that an organ to collect the public will, and a hand to execute it, are the only necessary constituents of the social union,'* and that therefore the theory which invests the Crown with a right of absolute negative upon the deliberative sense of the people, is as monstrous in speculation as experience has proved it to be impossible in practice, and mischievous in its eva sion." No doubt experience has proved the Royal negative impossible in practice, and that is the very reason why we need no longer trouble our heads about it. As to the mischiefs of its evasion, we must confess that we are ignorant of them. The Royal power over Parli tment gradually dwindled from the reign of HENRY VIII., or rather his daughter ELIZABETH, till it was finally extin guished by the aristocratic revolution of 1688, All attempts to revive it were afterwards vain ; and when we say that experience prayed the " absolute negative" to be impossible in practice, we say that the Royal authority over Parliament was positively and effectually extinguished. It is also a fallacy, though sup ported by high names, to suppose that the KING gained in influence what he lost in prerogative. The influence exerted in the KING'S name, never was the KING'S influence, but the influence of the oligarchy which had succeeded to his power over Parliament. To talk of the KING'S influ ence when ha has not been able for a hundred years even to have the free choice of his own household servants is an absurdity. What has been called the influence of the Crown, was, in fact, the influence of the boroughmongering oligarchy which wielded all the power of the State. The question now is, whether the oligarchical veto must not follow the fate of the KING'S, and become merged in the supreme expression of the people's will, as delivered by their repre sentatives. To a country, surrounded by powerful enemies and rivals, the hereditary descent of the nominally highest station in it is useful, and as Royalty in England consented, at last, to be quietly stripped of its power, it was for that usefulness retained. So a titled nobility has its uses, and will in like manner be retained, if in like manner it yield to the power now dominant. The great questions above enume rated are those on which it must yield when they are brought before them, for it is those great questions in which the welfare of the people is bound up. Those are the questions, therefore, which it is the duty of the friends of the people now to bring forward for discussion. Gravely to argue about " a limited Crown," and the nation being insulted by a Royal prerogative which exists only in imagination, is pure waste of time. morec n - e ula h r a ly ve to wt,hbeesceauosbesetrhveatimonosst eriodicals advocating spicuous of th e mon thly p particularly apply to others of our , popular ri g ht s ; but they will, more or less, contempor a r ies . L et them not throw away their opportunities. Four months only remain to collect public opinion, and guide it in one irresistible stream to the door of the House of Commons. • * The writer in" Tait" quotes Mackintosh's l'indicia for this sentence. We have not read the work throuo for the purpose of finding it, but the only Passage in the Vindicia Gallica which memory enables us to lay our fingers upon, as at all like it, is the following :—" It will not be controverted that the object of a representative legislature is to collect the general will. To accord with this principle, there must be the same unity in the representative as in the original Witt. That will is ONE. It cannot, therefore, without solecism, be doubly represented. The social body supposes a perfect unity, and no man's will can have Two discordant organs. Any by its representativ es, i s radically null as an usurpation of p a o b p so u l l u a t r e s n o e v g e a r t e i i v g e opposed to the national will, decisively spoken n t Y. Thus far does the abstract principle of a representative Government condemn the division of the Legis. lature." This is from the 267th page of the fourth edition of the Vindicia Gallica. The writer in "Tait" may quote from a different edition, but his adoption of Burke's words " absolute negative," not to mention the general sentiment, looks as if this was the passage he had under hie hand. MIDDLESEX INTERMEDIATE SESSION S (THIS DAY.) (Before B. ROTCH, Esq., and a Bench of Magistrates. EXTENSIVE SWINDLING AND CHARGE OF FELONIOUS RECEIVING. This day being appointed for the trial of Henry Palmer, chareed with feloniously receiving 10 bills of exchang, for 5,0001. knowing them to be stolen, long before the usual hour the Court was etce9sively crowded. At 10 o'clock B. RoTCH, Esq., the Chairman, accom panied by Sir Charles Forbes and several other magistrates, entered the Court. The prisoner, who was very fashionably attired, on being brought in the dock, bowed respectfully to the Court. The indictment in the first count charged the pi ironer, together with John Kinnear, whose name bas been often before the public with having feloniously received 10 hills of Exchange, drawn for and purporting to be of the value of 5001. each, with intent to defraud Francis Dugdale Astley, El., Palmer well knowing them to have been stolen. There were several other indictments varying the form of the charge, the 4th indictment charged the p-isoner with receiving 10 stamped pieces of paper written upon as f Mows : Accepted—Francis Dugdale Astley. Payable at Messrs. lraeds and Co., Bankers, Fleet-street, London. The prisoner surrendered a few days ago, and has since temained in custody. Kinnear has not yet bee❑ taken, and there are several other indictments against other per 3ons, among whom John Minter Hart, as the principal, of whose name the public have heard a great deal lately. Mr. ADOLPHUS for the prosecutor, with whom was Mr. CLARKSON and Mr. PHILLIPS, immediately on the prisoner being placed at the bar, stated that he was in structed to move, upon the affidavit of Mr. Astley and Mr. Dugdale, that the trial might be postponed till the next sessions (a period of little better than a week). The ground on which the Learned Counsel ventured to make the application, which he trusted would meet with the ap• probation of the Court, was the absence of three of the parties implicated, who would be very material witnesses on behalf of the prosecution. Those three persons were named Bond, Tucker, and Gordon, and the prosecutor in his affidavit had sworn that it was impossible to proceed with the trial with any chance of success without them, and that every exertion had been made on his part to serve them with subpoenas, but without success. Bond had described himself as residing at 25, Union•st. Hoxton. On application at that place the hou•e was discovered to be deserted ; Jane Tucker could not be found, and Gordon, who resided at Seymour-street West, was kept out of the way, no person but his wife being to be seen. These cir cumstances, the Learned Counsel trusted, would induce the Court to postpone the trial, as in the interim the persons might be found and compelled to give evidence. If, however, that was not sufficient, he begged to remind the Court that John Minter Hart, who was not in custody, was indicted as a principal; the delay might kid to his capture, for which a large reward bad been offered, and the Court would then have the greater portion of the cut.. prits before it. The affidavits of Mr. Astley and Mr. Dugdale were then read, which detailed, in more voluminous terms, the facts stated by the Learned Counsel. Mr. PRENDERGAST, for the prisoner, opposed the appli cation. He submitted that the necessary inquiries had not been made with respect to the witnesses who were thought so material for the prosecution, and that there was not the least proof that they ever expected to be able to bring forward any of the witnesses, whom they thought so important. With respect to the Liverpool witnesses, Bond and Tucker, the prosecutor bad indicted them for a conspiracy, and bad in his possession at the present mo ment warrants for their apprehension; and yet he had daring enough to come before the Court and tell it that he had endeavoured to subpoena them as witnesses, but could not discover their residence. The Learned Counsel observed that the prisoner was anxious for his trial to take place, feeling confident of his innocence. He would, however, leave the case in the hands of the Court, whom he trusted would deal with it as it deserved. Mr. ADOLPHUS, in his reply, stated, that he cordially concurred with the last observation of the Learned Counsel for the prisoner, and joined with him in hoping that the Court would deal with the case as it deserved. The CHAIRMAN said, that as the trial, if it had taken place in any other county, could' not by possibility have come on before the period to which its delay was asked on behalf of the prosecution, and in the absence of all allegations on behalf of the prisoner of inconvenience, the Court were unanimously of opinion that it ought to be postponed to the next session. Mr. PRENDERGAST trusted that, under all the circum stances of the case, the Court would admit the prisoner to The CHAIRMAN thought enough had occurred in Court that day to make it apparent, to any reasonable man, that the adoption of such a step was impolitic. The prisoner (with greit emphasis)—They will never offer any evidence against me. They will never dare to put Astley in the box. They have not a tittle of evidence against me. Mr. Anomrus—You are rather premature, prisoner, in stating that the prosecutor has no evidence against you. If he has not you will, on the day you are put on your trial, walk out of the box and be at liberty. The prisoner —Yes, I know that ; but there is no banks to the prosecutor for it. The prisoner was then removed from the bar, and the vial ordered to stand over to the next sessions. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. His Majesty's ship Savage has arrived from Lisbon with the mail of the 18th of September, and sailed from off Opor:o on the 24th of September. She brings the Lisbon papers from the 16th to the 19th of September. One of them contains the account of the reported battle on the 14th of September, whisk turns out to be only a trifling attack. It states that from four to five thousand of Don Miguel's troops advanced on one of Don Pedro's batteries, which was defended by the Lisbon Volunteers, who were obliged to retire, owing to the superior force of the enemy ; but other troops coming up to their assist ance, as well as the Don Pedro frigate, which kept up a severe fire on the Mieuelites, compelled them to retreat with a loss of forty-eight killed, and from two hundred to two hundred and fifty wounded. By the account it ap pears to be a skirmish of little importance. The remain ing part of the Lisbon Papers are filled with addresses. By the French Mail this morning, it appears that the Moniteur contains a detailed account of the various at tacks made by the Arabs at Mostaganem, from the 3d to the 9th August. At the latter date the Arabs broke up their camp, after having experienced a considerable loss of men. According to that account, the Arabs fought most desperately ; and on theist of September they made a new attack, which lasted from four o'clock in the morning till nine in the evening, but were again repulsed.

Consols for the Account, 881 The palace of the Bishop of Winchester ig St. James's square has undergone various changes in respect to its tenantry, since the shell of it was rebuilt by the late Duke of Leeds, father of the present, who married the once beautiful Mrs. Anguish, now Duchess Dowager of Leeds, and who was one of the Secretaries of State in the early part of Mr. Pitt's Administration. After the Duke's death the house remained for several yens unfinished. It was at length purchased by a society of Noblemen and Gentlemen, and converted into the Union Club, where play was introduced for higher stakes than had obtained before or since in the recollection of any man living. The late Duke of St. Alban's subsequently bought the house, a bargain, we believe, for about 16,0001. It is now become an episcop 41 palace, and it is gorgeously furnished. Mr. Hancock will very soon run a steam coach between this town and Worthing. It is a level road, well adapted for that p urpose .—B r i g ht on Gazette.

There has been a dreadful hurricane at Cele e which has caused a great loss of shipping and lid The following particulars are from a letter dit' 28th May, addressed by a young gentleman in tow n to a friend in Edinburgh : cl (1 " We had last week one of the most dre s o storms ever witnessed, and its effects have certkes been awful ; every ship that was far down the 1/ 0 1 1 was cast ashore, every boat d as h e d to p i ec e''' . t already we have heard that about 10,000 people it t , perished, and heaven only knows how many ll' et , The whole Islana of Saugur was buried severs under water, and only sixty persons saved out o l population of several thousands, the whole band fot the river wa-hed in, and the country flooded many miles on each side.
