PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 1415 Majesty's ship NiObe for Halifax, with Commodore QweN. Blows very bard at N. E. MARGATE,. DEC. 22.—The Britannia packet, Captain Fox, arrived this morning from Ostend, and brings dispatches front Ghent, which were forwarded immediately for London ; she left 'Ostend at six o'clock last evening,. and -wade the North Foreland at two flag morning, and came in about six. No intelligence bad reached Ostend of the loss of the British Queen packet. Captain Fox_reports, as well as he can recollect, that there were about tea male paSsengers, and three lads, besides the crew of six bands, including the-Mask ter and Mate; making in all 19 souls when she sailed from Ostend: at two o'clock on Tuesday, 13th instant, with a fair wind, and every prospect of a steady passage. By Captain Fox's report we make out, that three of the passengers were, a Mr. JELL, a aoachtuaker ; a person named - War.- KEA, and another DUVAI; blacksmiths, belong ing to this place beside's those a Mr. JAMES CUTHBERT, of Deal, an English Gentleman, and a French Ladya also an hostler, which accounts , for seven out of the number. Of three lads, two were the sons of Mrs. LAMI NG, widow of the un fortunate owner of the vessel. LIMERICK, 11F„c. 17.=-Within the ,Memory of the oldest inhabitant of this cita , there has not bu t en so tremendous a hurricane as was expe rienced yesterday morning : it commenced with the wind at W.S.W. about three o'clock, being then nearly low water, raising the tide (tbe spring tides falling off) to a height never before known in this port. Three vessels burSt their cables in the pool, and proceeded up the rivet- with the most surprising' rapidity, bringing 'all the small craft that lay before them, until they stranded, between the New Court "louse (the railing of which one of them struck and carried away) and the Golden Mills. One of them, the Pax (a large- Norway ship), in ballast, has been got off with some damage another, the brig Caroline,. bf Biddeford, laden with provisions, bacon, and but ter, .for London . , remains stranded, but received no damage, and will get off the next spring tides, by having about tWo-thirds of her cargo dis charged : the -- other is the . sloop Elizabeth, of Greenock (about two-thirds of her cargo of coals discharged) ; lies its a very dangerous state on a reef of rocks, about half a cable's length from the Caroline, with_ her stern right up, and her bead sunk in the water.—The Mersey, S.rawattr, of and from Liverpool, laden with coals and salt, (about two-thirds of her cargo 'discharged), upset and stink in the Quay, but at low water ; the `;eater being all got out, and the hatchways all fastened, she was raised the following tide, and has not received muck damage.---The above was all the damage the shipping have received here. The hurricane did not abate until the top of high.water, at ten o'clock, during which se -veral boats plied in the streets near the Quays.— There arc accounts from the River's Mouth up to. a late hour last night, by which I have nut heard of any damage done. The outward-bound" vessels being at anchor in Tarbert and'Labasbeda Roads, were protected from the gale by the high lands between them and the point from' which it blew at.. Arrived the Caledonia, of and for Ir vine, laden with timber and seal- skins, from Nova Scotia, and remains, with the other out ward-bound vessels, at Labasheda. Returned the Brothers, Ilaveott, for London. FALMOUTH, DEC. 20. 7 —Arrived the Lloy4l, BAurtnrr, from Plymouth. Sailed" his Majesty's ship Basilisk for Bristol. PLYMOUTH, DEC. IL —Sailed his Majesty's ship Ulysis with "a fleet for• Africa., The outward bound West India:nen have sailed to join the Swiftsure man of war at Falmouth. The wind shifted this morning to the East and blows strong, which has prevented the Mediterranean fleet front proceeding. DEAL, DEC. 22.—Remain in the DoWns his Wlajesty',s ships Bombay, Rosario, Mercurius, Rattlesnake, and Scourge, and several- loggers, Arrived the Vrinresseharlotte, SLLVA, from Rio ,Janeiro, and the Fo R s TEu , from Jamaica, for the Itivcr.---WiudE. Upwards of 400 ships came up the river yes terday, most of them froM the Baltic. The George, from Amelia Island, in the United , States, has arrived at Liverpool, and has been seized upon by - the Capta in of the guard-ship, as unauthorized to make the voyage ; and, yet Ame rican produce has fallen at Liverpool. A Court Martial assembled on 'nest()Ay last, at the. Muster-Master Generals Office, to investigate a charge. of _peculatiou, preferred against a Pay Set:leant of the Ist 1 Guards. !, The following are time Rates of Allowances which have ,been granted .to Ge►►eral -And Staff Officers in the several Districts of.

[FROM A colutEsraNDENTl The 4th of this month (December) having been fix:A upon for the public landin t t in Portaged of his Excellency the Right Lion. 'George Calming, every arrangement to give 'facility:lPd ecird to the ceremony had been p re vi ous l y ma d e by Field- Marshal Lord Beresford, Sir Nathaniel Peacock, aunt Captain Briggs, of his Majesty's ship Levi than. She 13th Royal • Veteran Battalion re\7 eeived- his Excellency at the square of .-Praca tie Cinuinercia under arms, and- he was ac ! eompanied to the shore by the barge and. Officers of the Leviathan, under' a salute from that Ship, and with her yards full manned. The Field-Marshal, General Peacock, the Con-. snl, and Agents of the Factory, with some Portuguese of distinction, accompanied • his Ex eellecy in their respective cavriage. The state of the weather (rainy), prevented the aupearance of the fair sex, and of the principal Portuguese, at the landing of Mr. Canning. He has not yet (on the Bth) been able, owing to' a severe attack of the gout, 'to wait 'upon the Regency; and etiquette requires his public presentation t 9 that body before any of its mentbers-can oflicialy wait upon him. indeed, I fielieve no interchange of private visits have yet passed between them. 1 ant afraid that the expectation of the freewill Abolition Of tee Slave Trade, by Portugal, is--somewhat too sanguine. WINDSOR, DEC. 22.—On.Tuesday, about two o'clock, his Ri)yal Highness the PRINCE- REGENT arrivt;ti,at Cranlionrne Lodge, on a visit to -the Princess CHARLOTTE of \VALES, where his Royal Highness retrained with his Royal Daughter about two hours", and then canke to the eistle and staid, With the QUEEN ana PRINCESSES abot•a•tbe. same time, and left a little before six o'clock, for Lon don.

By letters front Cadiz to the instant, we learn that clean hills of health were at length granted there. Almost the entire attention-of the public 441 - ices was directed, to accelerate the de parture of the expedition., which' is expected at Cadiz to he adt a jttate, supported as it wi!l be by the co-tiperation of the - Portnguese, to aeeom !dish alternately the capture of Maldonado; Mon tevideo, and Buenos Ayies,.aud. to restore peace and subordination throughout the extensive pro vinces of the River Plate. It was some . time since reported that Doctor R . . . . as well .as Mrs. Southcott was with child : if true, we are sorry to say that he, and several other medical old women, supposed. to have been in the same way, have also disappointed the pub ic expectation. None of timn have been deli vere:f. • Whenthe•French papers enumerated the Powers, which join Fr:lnce in its po!itics 'as Vienna; they omitted to mention one, which is, perhaps, more strenuous than all the rest—the English Oppoei tionl The woollen manufaEtures in Scotland are now daily improving, but perhaps. in . no place more than, itt•the village of Galashieids; which, iron a most insignificant spot, is noiv becoming a Place of cousequence. A hantlsOuse parish chinchhas been lately erected, and. a foundation of a new bridge over the river Gala has been laid. - In the coarse of last night and this morning a considetable quantity of 'stsoW fell On the %Yes tern, Road. - • EN - ECUTION.—This morning James Strange ways, for house-braking, James .111agi . nis, for highway robbery, and fifortoo, - for an unnatural crime, were executed before the adbtors' boor, Old Bailey, A. few minutes after eight o'clock, Strang - eways was conducted to the scaffold, at tended by a Carbolic Clergythan ; 'lNTaginis Soon after cattle' forward, accompanied by the Ordinary of Newgate their sutreren, Mono°, the Black, was then brought to the fatal tree, attend ed by a Priest of his own country.

Beaux, DEC'. 6.—We were a little uneasy here respecting the . negociations at Vicuna ; but -u - C' now know that the courier who arrived on . the 25th November brought tranquilizing intelligence. 'The Great Powers have agreed upon the principal points that were in dispute. Asa proof of which, the order is mention'ed which has arrived for or ganizing th e J u di c i al Administration in the Prus sian Province s , comprising East Friezeland. It was bt.fore rep orte d that this country had been ceded to the Ki ng o f E ngland, as Sovereign of Hanover, MADRID, No y. l2 . — Lieutenant-General Joseph Xavier Lardizabal is dead. Ile was only in his '37th- year. Our Court Gazette contains a warm panegyric on this young .warrior, who passed the last four years of his life in the castle of Vincennes, where he was corfined•after the surrender of Va lencia, till the arrival of the Allies at Paris. Th e severity of his imprisonment impaired hiS health •more than the hardships of war. He was a brav e hj and enterpriziug you n g Officer, w o. ustjfied the fairest expectations,' which are thus destroyed by his. premature decease. - GENOA, DEC. 7.—Three transports arrived here on 'Holiday from Nice, with a battalion of the Italian Legion in the service of his BritanniCTO-. jeSty. These troops disembarked yesterday. The same day, another English transport arrived from Palermo, with 440 boxes, containing muskets.-- , This:morning the 6th battalion of 'the troops, in the pay of England, embarked fo r Palermo, where the main body is stationed.

' -THE THEATRE.-The affecting drama of The Gamester was represented again last night at Co vent-garden Theatre, and Miss O'NEILL, as be fore, gave a very interesting support to the he roine of the piece. Her,chief excellence was dis played in the expression of tenderness a n d the bursts of agony. If she t'vas not equally success ful in towering dignity and lofty indignation on the attempts of StukelyL4 shotkid he considered that Nature has fitted her principally for die:sim ple and pathetic. We did not on her first perform ance tit this part approve of bet histErical sion of the part, and -we were not mare- satisfied. with it last night. It is too violent and too much protracted. Silent and untitterable anguish would be more appropriate to the character and the si tuation. YOUNG resumed his nation; and gave a very affecting portrait of Beverley; and Teruo(' was more easy, and, effective in Stakety. The house was crowded. - SOUTH LOtRE nUntetous Meeting took place yesterday, for the„double purpose of considering of the propriety of petitioning ParliaL meat againSt the prolongation of the Perty Tax, and for appointing Commissioners for pav ing the Borough of Southwark.• As the first of these objects was the most interesting and impor tant; the attention of the Meeting was chiefly di rected to that point. After several Gentlemen had animadverted - on the oppressive - nature of tht Tax, employing most of the argunients generally employed on•the subject, and particularly on the hardship which the public suffered in having their money taken in'an.arbitraty - ,manner, without...the privilege of a fair appeal, the Resolutions pro posed, and the Petition were agreed to unani mously ; the latter Was. ordered to be signed by the High Bailiff, and to be left for the signature, of the inhabitants' in general. - SCHIOOLMASTER'S 'SOCIETY .—There was yester day a very numerous Meeting, at the Crown and Anchor, of Patrons of this trtdy laudable Society, the purport of which is to • make a provision for those Schoolmasters n'to, haying employed the greater part of their time in training youth to ..learning and virtue, arc •not•possessed of decent means of support in the winter of life. - The Duke of KENT presided at the dinner, and was support ed on the right hand by the Bishop of , .Cattr4slE, whcrhad formerly been a preceptor of youth, and -who, on being alluded to in a very complimentary manner on that accOunt, expressed the pleasure which he felt on thexecollection.—" The KING" was drank in reverential silence, and other loyal and patriotic toasts followed: The Duke of KENT gave a gratifying account of the Funds of the Society,. and expressed' a hope that, by their in creasing success, assistance might be extended , to the widows and childrein '-of Schoolmasters and USherS. Their - hole was a moral . ; as welt as a so. dal festival,' and the day passed off ,with good int inour, heightened by a cor\scioustieis of the noble purpose of time meeting.
