NEW-YORK, October 8.
Saturday Morning last the Ship Neptune,
Capt, Rogers, arrived here from Jamaica in
45 Days: He confirms he Account of the N
Hurricane that happened at that Island the firft
of August, as mentioned in this Paper the 24th
ult. The following Relation of that disagree
able Difader, is taken from the Jamaica Royal
Gazette of the 4th of August.
Kingston, in Jamaica, August 4.
Oi Wedriefday Forenoon a fever.? Storm of
Wind, accompanied with heavy and incessant
Rain, came on here, and continued all that
Night, and a great Part of the following Day :
The Wind during that Time veering from^N.
F,. to S. E. It blew with Toch Violence during
the Night, that Numbers of the Whipping and
small Craft in this Harbour, and that of Port
Royal, were driven ashore, and feme of them
irrecoverably loft.—From the Hulks at the E.
End of this Town, to Parage Fort, not less
than 90 Vessels of different Sizes are on shore,
many of which have {attained very confideixble
damage, but we have not been able to coiled
their Names, much less to ascertain the Hurt
received by eacli! Ofthe Fleet at Port Royal
above 30 are on shore from Paff^e Fort to the
12 Apostles ; among them are the Green Ifl'and,
Watt; Carnatick, Gibbon ; Mary, Frizwell ;
John, Watson ; Thetis, Hardy ; Jamaica, late
Grimiby ; Mentor, Whitefides ; Kingffon,Hurft
Orange-Bay, Ross ; London, Peck ; Henry,
Logan ; Montague. Casey ; Arundel, ffenn ;

Hope, Simes; Dispatch, Towers ; Friendship,
Ronaldfon; Nancy, Brown ; Fame, Eaton ;
True-Briton, Stewart ; Clarendon, Jordan ;
Lark, Backhoufe; and Ransom, Bagnold ;
Some of them 'ti% forc'd will never be got cff,
and others will net without much Trouble and~
Damage.. ,'
The gale was Severely felt, at Savanna la
Mar, where three houses were dellroyed, and
several much damaged. The catted, corn, and
plantains in WeftmQreland are mostly de*
Grayed.
KINGSTON, (Jamaica) -August 11.
The weather onWednefday night, with wind
and rain, by degrees grew so violent, as to a
larm the whole of the inhabitants of this place;
they were no less concerned for their kfe,,
than for the situation of the whole country,
least it sh mid fall in fame measure under a
similar calamity to that it had experienced
filter the third of oa ber last ; by every acc
count which has yet arrived from t^e'country,
the damage done, though very great, is never
theless not so much as was at 1 firft exptfled;
and we hope what further accounts weway re
ceive, will fill make it less confiderabte.,- •
Three vessels have been drove ashore by the
violence of the wind, in the harbour of Mar
tha-Erae; tie (hip Roebuck, Williams, be
longing to New York, the (loop Beaver, and a
fchoonc^ '. e!onging<o Mtff. Sinclair and Ward,

a great way to windy, ard, as racing of it was
felt by the fleet.
