She sailed from Liverpool the zd inst. in company with about forty vessels, nearly twenty of which were Americans, the whole. of which were separated in the same dreadful gale. It is much feared that several of them have severely suffered. The Captain saw a large Ship this morning to the WeStward of the Li zard, with her foremast and bowsprit gone : he also saw a Prussian Bark which sailed from Liver pool with her, go into Mounts Bay this morning, supposed in distress. A large Norway Ship put into Helford this morn ing, laden with timber ; all her boats, and deals that were on deck, were washed off. rriti'ed the American Ship Jane, Captain GAR DINER, with flax-seed, linens, &c. from Hamburgh, to tale in the remainder part of her cargo (fish), for Teneriffe.

The last vessel that arrived brings an account, that about twenty-five of the French Gun-boats -lately employed at Bou logne, were overtaken by one of the late heavy gales of wind in going from Calais . to Dunkirk, and that the greatest part of them- were driven on shore, and most of the crews it is feared perished.

There are nearly iso sail of West-Indiamen in the River, ready for sea, waiting - for. Spanish passes. Some ,vessels at Portsmouth are to take 'advantage of the sailing of the Desiree or 1/Eolus frigates, as convoy against the swarm of black privateers, or, in fact, pirates from the French and Spanish islands, which infest the Caribbean Sea, and against whose depredations there is no other appeal than that of arms. The Earl of AYLESFORD has .been pleased..to appoint Mr. J. POWELL, to be one of His Ma jesty's Yeomen of the Guard, in the room of Mr. • G. COP E, deceased. A few days since Page, of the London Hotel, Ramsgate, was fined in the penalty of 405. with costs, by Ros ERT CURLING, Esq. Mayor of Sandwich, for refusing to provide a bed for an ficer who was regularly billetted on him. We understand that a new coinage is about to take place at the Presidency of Bombay, in silver rupees and gold mohurs. The rupee current in Surat, and that in circulation in Bombay, are to be reduced to one certain standard and value, so as to remedy the inconVeniencies arising to,trade from the exchange of coin of different fineness. At Rugby fair, last week, pigs sold at Jess than. half the prices required for them a month since.— Cattle generally experienced a like reduCtion, in prices, and sheep were full ios. per head cheaper than at the preceding fair. At many of the Northern fairs Scotch and Irish beasts have been sold at less prices than those at which the dealers purchased them, and great. num bers are driving about the country, not being able to find a market. The average price of good Wheat in the North Riding of Yorkshire, is about Bs. the bushel. Oats are reduced to zos. per quarter. The Country Cheese, which very recently would sell for 7s. the the stone, will not now produce more than zs. 9d. The finest potatoes are sold at is. the bushel, and Butter has fallen about 3d. in the pound. Every kind of Meat, however, except Pork, maintains the old price, from 7d. to Bd. per poUnd. We have lately met some extraordinary instances of the value of old building mAterials.—Tl%.DuKE of YORK, some time since, bought some ,C3:.1:),1 adjoining Oatlands, for 50001., and immediately after sold an old house which stood upon it !)r 300 guineas, to be pulled down.—On: WedneAay the a-rrear of the first floor of the tenement corner of Bank-street, Edinburgh, was put up at auction at 4501., and sold for the enormous sum of 15601. The Comedy of Folly as it Flies; was again very attractive on Saturday last at Covent-Garden Thea tre, and was very well received. The iVlanager purchases the Copy.:right, and will probably not publish the Piece till its attraction abates at the Theatre. It is, however, so well-supported by the Performers, and altogether so amusing in itself,. that it will retain a strong hold on the Public through the season. The Play of The Mountaineers was represented on Saturday last at Drury-Lane, out maugre its 'dramatic merits and its musical recommendations, with very indifferent 'success.- The Farce was Of Age To-Moi-rorw, and the Audience, - though by no means very numerous, were so very vociferous in their demand for the Prologue, Which was .ori ginally spoken by Mr. BANNISTER, jun. that he was obliged to come forward and deliver it. This Prologue, if, we remember rightly, is the work of Mr. MILES PETER ANDREWS, and . not the worst production of his whimsical Muse. . KEMB L E sets off on .his Provincial excursions on Wednesday next. h is much to he regretted that he and the Drury Lane Manager have not settled their differences.• Mr. and Mrs - . POPE, it is said, are to join the Drury Lane company as soon as they haVe con: clUded their provincial engagements. SOUTHFY, the Poet, is appointed Private Secretary to the Chancellor of the Irish Ex - chequer: The return of peace and amity with France does not appear to have been followed on the part of that Country with any very intimate acquaintance with our domestic situation. ".Misr says the M9/riteue, " complained of a pain in 'her arm, and Dodo , KEivrRLE having been cailed in, thought he felt , a needle -under her -arm." The Parisian Public may no* be gratified to leain that the Spinster is recovered, - though the London Au dience regret that 'the Doctor does not continue to pradise. Those who anticipate the pleasure of a trip to Paris for the purpose of drinking French wine in perfection, may meet with a grievous disappoint. Inent : The Prefect of Police; two months ago, 'went. through the cellars of the Parisian Wine Merchants, and ,was unable to decide, in many instances, what -was intended to be sold as (wine and what as vinegar. The new Dutch Minister of Finance is a man who must prove very , agreeable to the Swinish Multitude, if the orthography of his name in some of the French Papers be corre&—" Mynlieer Hogs trough-ten. , During the storm at Exeter,. on Monday, a girl four years old was blown over the bridge into the river, and being carried by the current under ,Pine's Mills, was drowned. The mother of the inLtat witnessed the singular and calamitous accident. PARIS, Nov. 3. A fresh Revolution has been effeCted" in Switzer land, The Diet at Berne at the moment that it had completed the new Constitution and nominatva Members to the Senate, has in its turn been dis solved, and all its measures declared void, by the old Legislative Body, which has resumed the reins of Government, appointed a provisional Executive, and restored the Constitution agreed to in May last. The Moniteur of the 3d contains the following Article on this very singular subjcl : In the course of the summer a Constitution was adopted by the Helvetic People. A Diet met to proceed to the appointment of the Senate, of the Landerman, and other Authorities, and each Canton was employed upon its particular Constitution, and organization, in the portion of attributes which the Constitution gave the Cantons. The Diet scarcely assembled, declared itself a Constituent Assembly, destroyed the Constitution for which it was con voked, and began to draw up a new one. Fac. tions formed and fomented ; the Deputies of the small Cantons retired to their homes, and protest• ed against the usurpation of the Diet. A part of the Canton of Lucern and Glaris imitated this conduft. The Diet, however, without paying attention to these Protests, completed their new Constitu tion, and in the Sitting of the zsth Odober, ap pointed to the Senate the Citizens whose names fOIIOW KuHN, CARTIER, USTERY, SCIIMITH) YONDER-Sj,l7 E, SAL IS-SEV IS, KEAVER, REAGGLit, MEYER, FETTOLAS, RUTTMAN. .

DOIDER: The Legislative Council, considering the evils with which the Country is menaced by the incoher ence of the labours of the Helvetic masquerade, and the manifest partiality which has swayed its delibera. tions ; Considering ,- that this Diet has . mistaken its &ides and gone beyond . the limits of its powers, in Occupying itself upon a new plan of Constitution, and arrogating t 6 itself in fad the functions of a Constituent . Assembly considering that such s step is nor-justified by any power legitimately dele gated, that it is even . in formal opposition to tiro organic Laws, as well as to the 'wish of Helvetia, tacitly expressed by the Convocation of the Assets' blies of Cantons : considering, that, by the seces sion of sixteen members of that Assembly, several Cantons not being represented at all, and other only being so partially, it has ceased to be the General Helvetic Diet, and could not lawfully continue. its labours : considering, finally, that the imperious 'duty of the Governinent is to ptevenS internal dissentions and all the evils of anarchy, decree: Art. r.
