A tiarrof Our Impression'having been worked off yesterday before we received several- pirticulars.re. sPeding thisruffiian.like ad of atrocity,-.we think it necessary .to repeat those details this day, with sonie additional circumstances . which have since reached us. • . . " On the night of the 24th o f Odober a Detach: ment of French . Troops, consisting of 250. men, landed front three boats, on the Hamburgh Terri. 'tory. They had embarked from Harburgh, a small town on the left bank of the Elbe, in the Eletto. rate of.. Hanover,. and about a mile distant. from, the, City of Hamburgh. They landed at Ham. hurgherberg,' which is situatedbetWeen'tlie City of Hamburgh and . Altona. A part of the Detachment, .to the amount. of So men, . proceeded, under the condud of two guides, _to Grindel. r, Sir GEORGE Rumaoto had resided there for tome time; his only attendants were A' male acid a female servant. Grindel is a' small , collection of cuuntry houses, not far removed from the Hamburgh gate, which is called the Dammthor, from which it is not above a few hundred paces distant. " The Detachment having arrived at Grindel, commenced its operations by surrounding the house, at about one o'clock in the morning. " Sit GEORGE heating a knock at the door, jumped out of bed to see wifat was the matter ; - when he immediately perceived that the house was sur. rounded by soldiers,' who, instantly ,rushed . in and took him prisoner. All his papers were seized and t:Jrtietl off ; and Sir GEORGE having been condufted ~....:. in a carriage to the banks of the Elbe, was traria.. ported aCrofis the titer to FtirbtVrih• 'file particulars of this transaftion had not transpired either at Hamburgh, or Altona, at eight o'clock in the morning.. It was known that some French Soldiers had siisembatked, but it was supposed that they were in.pyrsuit i of de serters. The gates -of ,Hamburgh had been shut, l i: as it i s customary, at night. ' .

" I -have laid before the First Consul the Note of the 22.:1 Flote4 (May s 2), which yOti . did me the honour to transmit to me. " The FirstCenul observes with regret; that the influ ence of the enemies of France has prevailed in the Cabinet of St. Petersbureh, and. that it now puts at hazard the good understanding which was established .with so much pains, and which appeared to be so wei: confirmed by the happy effeas which it has produced. , .” His Majesty 'the Emperor of Gertnany.and-His Majes ty the King of Prussia, who undoubtedly are the two Powers the most concerned in the fate of the German Empire, have understood that the French - Governmenuwas sufficiently au therized to arrest, at two leagues distance from her frontier, French Rebels who conspired against their own country; and who, by the nature of their plots, as well as by the ter:. rible evidence which corroborated them, had placed them selves out of the proteaion of the Law of Nations. " The. German Powess having thus been satisfied, the First Consul would have nothing to say to the Emperor of Russia on a point which does not in the least concern his in terest; but he will always be happy to speak to His Ma jesty the Emperor of Russia with the openness which Eu rope knows he possesses, and which only is becoming great and powerful States. 4 If it be the intention of His Majesty, to form a new Coe. lition in Europe, and to re-commence the War, what need is there for empty pretences, and why not at} more openly ? Much as the reneetal hostilitlee. would- gieievo tiro FIRM. - . COUSW, he letioWs no man in thetworld that could put France in fear; no man Whom he would stflier to interfere in the internal concerns of the Country ; and since he himself does not meddle 'svitharties'or opinions between which Russia triay be divided, His Imperial Majesty can haver no right to meddle with the parties. or opinions between , which France may be divided. " In the Note, Sir: which you have delivered, you require That France should employ the most efficacious means to tranquillize the different Governments, and to let en order of things cease in Europe, which' is too alarming for their se curity and independence.' But is not this independence of the States of Europe attacked, if it appears that Russia pro teas and Maintains, at Dresden and at Rome, authors of plots who seek to abuse tile privilege of their residence, for the pur. pose of disquieting the neighbouring States ? and if the Rus sian Ministers at most. of the Courts of Europe pretend to' place under protection of the Law Of Nations, persons who are natives of that very Country where those Ministers reside' as 9f, De Nlarkotiwanted to do at Paris with a'Genevese ? These are real infringements of the independence of the States of Europe ; these- are the very infringernentS which ouiht- to excite their vigorous remonstrances. The eircuiri stance against which anbutcry has been raised, is of a very different nature. " By the Treaty of Luneville, Germany and France had mutually engaged to allow no asylum to any of those men who could disturb their respealve tranqttillit y. The Emi grants who resided at Paden, .at Friburg, at Dresden, arc. were, by that Treaty not to be suffered in the German Em pire ; and this circumstance strews what real impropriety there was in the conduct of s ßussia. France requires of her to remove Emigrants who were in theemployment of Russia, at the time When the two Countries were at war;. from Ceuntries Where they rendered themselves , conspicuous only by their intrigues ;,and .Russia insists .upon maintaining them there; and the remonstrance .she now makes, leads to this question when England planned the murder of P AUL suppoSing intelligence to have been received, that the authors of the plot were at a league from the frontier, would not pains haVe been taken to arrest them ? 4, The First Consul :hopes that His Imperial Majesty' whose excellepi mind and noble charaaer are so well known, will "sooner or later perceive, that there are men who avail themselves of every means to raise enemies to France, and who thereby seek to make a diversion, and re-kindle the flames of a war which is advantageous only to England. This war never will . take place with . the First C'onsul's consent ; whoever will declare it agiinst him, he shall ever prefer it to a state of things which should tend to destroy that equality between great Powers, which tend to the detriment of France. And as he does not arrogate to himself any su periority, and does not interfere withany operation of the .Russian Cabinet, he demands a petted reciprocity in this respect. "•1 continue, Sir,'lirmly to hope, that declarations so candid will be fully appreciated by your Court, and that they will tend,te dispel the clouds which malice spreads between our Countries with a succesS•greatly to be lamented.

The wind was at first at North East ; in the course of Saturday morning it changed to East, and in• the afternoon to Satoh Eait. It is impossible at this time to describe accurately the destrudion caused by this gale ; the whole of the Wharfs froin Gadsdcn's, ou Cooper's River, to the extent of South Bay, have suffered very - considerable damage ; the heads and sides "of most of them have been .washed away. Of the. Vessels- in the Flatboat., but three or four have escaped without injury. Several were totally lost, anti many more were much damaged. At seven o'cluck on Saturday morning, the period of low water, the tide was ,as high as it generally is at spring tides. It appeared that during the preceding. ebb hat little water bail left theßiver ; at twelve o'clock it was two or three feet higher than it has been seen for many years, and made a complete breach over the- Wharfs, and drove many . small Vessels on them, where they now lie.' On General GADSDEN'S Wharf, several Stores were washed or blown down, arid their contents of rice or cotton much damaged, and some lost. On South Bay,- the whole of the bulwark made againat the water is in ruins, and the house of Mr. W. VI LTC 14, built on made.ground, was washed down ;, the new meet made- to continue East Bay to White Point, is greatly damaged, - the sea made breaches through it in many places ; on BLAKE'S Wharf, a brick build ing occupied as a Scale and Countinghouse, was beat down by the bowsprit of the Ship L_j'dia. In the City no other damage is done than many houses which were covered with slitte,• are, in part, unroofed,• and most of the trees in the streets, and Many fences, aro blown down, Great apprehen,- sions were entertained for the safety of the fami lies on Sullivan's Island, but accounts received (Tom thence yesterday were , very favourable ; not a life was lost there except a blck boy. From fifteen to twenty houses were undermined by the water, and washed away, the inhabitants of which lost almost every thing that Was in them. It is the opinion of some Gentlemen who were on the Island, and who. came up yesterday, that if the water had continued to rise for half an hour . longer, scarcely a house would have escaped, anti many people must have perished. What have 'been the conse quences of this gale in - the country we have not learnr, but we fear they will be distressing;' on the one hand, it is feared' that the banks of the river.plantatiods were not high enough' to keep out the tides; anti on the other; that the violence of the wind has destroyed *the cotton plants. 1- There is one cirenmstanee which took place during this gale,' which we think-worthy of notice. It was high water at the wharfs on Saturday at twelfe o'clock: soon after the title began• to fall, and at six o'clock in the evening had fallen ' about two feet ;, it was then expected that the next, tide 'would be higher than the former,, as the fall had been so small; but instead of rising, it continued to fall a little the whole time of the floodoind was not ashigh at one o'clock on Sunday morning, the time for high water, as it was the dartiefore at six o'clock, the time of low water. We suppose that this' plieno. menon was owing to the change of the wind, from East to South.east, during that period. A. negro' man was killed by the fall of Mr,; VI ETCH'S chimney, on South Bay ;' and this is the only life lost in the city that we have heard of. Most of the families' residing on South Bay, left their dwellingi in the course of Saturday, expecting that if the gale continued it would be-umale to re main in them. Many of the coasting craft, and wood boats, ate driven on shores on the marches, anti in the heads of the docks, and ;are nitwit injured. This gale was more violent,, and of much' longer continuance, than the one Which took place in* t 783. From the description given of the Hurricane in 1752, we believe that to have been the most dread. fill, though it is much to be feared that the WS of property is now much greater than at, any former etiod.

Yesterday evening, about, six o'dlock, one of the Privates of the ad Regiment of Guards, named Davis, who was:on duty in St. James's Patk, be— tween the Horse Guardi and, the hack of the Ad miralty, was observed by a person who passed by, t to pull off hislaiter and shoe, and attempt to put the muzzle of the musket in his mouth ; he then slept into his box, which was about six inches from the ground, an put the butt of the musket on the ground, the muzzle in his mouth, and con trived to fire it by: putting 'his toe on, the -trigger. The ball passed through his head; which was lite rally blown to pieces, except a • little of the back part: The box was covered with his brains and blood, as was also his cap. It is !iapposed he had doubly charged the musket, as two cartridges and halls were missing front his pouch. No cause can be assigned - for this rash ad. A short time before he wenvon duty he was in company with' several of his comrades, and appeared in very high spirits. He was a very steady man,' and moth respetted in the Regiment.

ERNK I NE, Gikß ROW; Gi 8119, anti JACKSON,. on behalf of the Plaintiffs, stated the lads of the case; they said, that after the, pearance of the goods, the Defendants shewed, by their . publie advertisement; the bag had n been stolen, but' improperly' delivered ; and by tllcir offer of _fifty guineas in reward for' the discovery; that 'they deemed themselves as responsible; they • also made it obvious, that they considered this lasi to arise from the fraud or negled of their own set. vans, fur as soon as they had inquired into the ctrl comstances," he was, for his condo& on this oc casiOn, instantly discharged. A fusilier indict. . tion of their opinion on this affair was, -that in. quirks were made by their own • servants at , dif ferent inns, to learn if the cochineal had been lm. properly delivered : among others they applied at the Swan with Two Necks; '4 and one would apprea bend" (said Itlr. Ell•K I NE) '' the Defendant% had learnt to sing two different songs from that singular phenomenon ; they at least had amused us at this timewith a different tune to that they before play., ed off in the -Christmas holidays, for • now they withdraw. front the liability, they _before acknuw. ledge d:" The Learned Counsel did not mean to say, that a warehou•eman is liable to t 11 the extent of a common carrier, 'where the reiponsibility reaches to every contingency excepting " the ad of God ,and the kliog'senemies," but, the Ltw says, he is abide the consequences of the smallest ini•coniqff i n hi s own Servants. Tile truth in this case wa4, • that the, master and the other servants have become. judge andjury on the behaviour of this, unworthy colleague, and they have determined what Alit Jury of to-day are called upon to confirm. The Witnesses having mole their depositions, • Messrs. DAs. LAS, WOOD, and PAR /it?, on the part of the D-fentiants, contended„ that their Clients, were nut liable under the 'pre•;: , i stances,. as the loss had been ocvasioned ! , y negled of their servants,,,but in consrquence ef a nocturnal theft, on the premises, whic we're se. cured by every prudent means. In the case of Trent Navigation, the parties were not held liable fur a robbery ; and there was no instance WI re watehodsemen had been- made responsible for such an at of pillage. The Watchman and A: tendants On the 'goods were then called, .who deposed to the security of the premises - at a late hour the pre.• ceding night. In answer to the argument 'oh the. advertihement, the Learned Counsel. said, that 'the' only reason for stating the goods to h tve been, 'item.. properly delivered was, to induce-the party who had stolen it to come forward, without the appreheosion of a prosecution. Lord I LI, eNN (;ROUGU, after pointing Gout- the nature of the .said, " The good, remained in the warehouse of the D.7fendants. There i s no doubt the Gentlemen on both sides are agteed en in . t hi s , point of law--:that, as suarchunsemin, they are not link( for. robbery ; but if, from the genet of their servants, the door was left open, they would be legally responsible. It is, then, a mere question of fad, on which you will govern your. Selves by the credence you assign to the respedive Witnesses ; and it is, perhaps, unnecessary I should repeat, from my notes, the testimony, as it is mi. ther prolik or . complicated. The opinion of the Defendants cannot be fairly colleted from the Ad. vertisement, as the pratlice, however improper, is very frequent, of inducing Culprits to a disclosure, by intimations' that no Prost'cution is intended.— It has beenisaid, that the masters (who are the De. fendants) before examined and determined this ea , , ; .you will, however, have now,, in one respect, a superior advantage, as the Witnesses have been here examined tin oath, and are subjed to all its p,,0al consequences if they are guilty of Inisrepresenta. tion."
