Tilts day and all the last night we had a very severe gale of wind, and six or seven Vessels were driven on shore at this port ; amongst them the Minerva, CoLaY, from Demerara, and the Laird, EDwAtos, from llerbice the latter Ship is still on shore, but will be got off with little damage, unless it blows again ; she is now light. ening. The former Ship is got off and in safety. Thu others Vessels' names are not yet known. This clay the Worcester Militia removed from this Gairison to Monckton Fort ; and the North Devon Militia to Gosport. They were replaced bz the 16th Regiment of Foot from Gosport, and the FierefOrd from Fort Monckton.

The Presents which the DEY of AL G I Sks sent , in November to the. Somr.p.N at Constantinople, and which are for the arrears of the Tribute which the Regency. of 'Algiers pays the Imperial Treasury, consist of 100 Moorish Slaves, so males, and so females ; Barbary horses, richly caparisoned, with trappings adorned with gold and precious stones ; a solitaire of real valu6, a lion, a tyger, a leopard, two ostriches, and a number of parroquets, and other rare birds ; the whole Present is valued at Five Millions of Piastres. The Reading Newspaper of Saturday last says, " Fearing that the rapid fall of 205. per quarter in the price of Wheat, in our last market, might not be permanent, we declined noticing it in any other way; than in our usual state ot the mar kets : we have now, however, the gratification of informing our readers, that Wheat this day further declined in price full zos. per quarter on the average." /t is an important circumstance to be reMeni. tiered, not only in the present Tithe of Searekty, but on the return of that Plenty to which we may, with the blessing of Providence Icia forward, that one pound of Rice, is equal in cited to eight pounds of Flour. Such an improvement in the system of Food, of the lower orders of Peo. 'pie, • and in the mode of preparing it, has taken place during the Scarcity, thatthe beneficial ef. feets of ii-.may be felt in all succeeding times and as it may be fairly. supposed, that the Con. sumption of Flour will tuwer again be so general and so injudicious as it has - been, the price -of it in years of plenty must be considerably lower.
