On Tuefday night Jaft, about
o'clock, a very heavy gale of
Wind came on from the N. E.
[ Which continued to increase, and
St twelve o’clock blew a hurricane
’ which lasted till two o clock in
the morning, when it moderated
for about half an hour, and then
came on again from the S. E. and
continued for about two hours
to blow very hard. During the
Severity of this hurricane, much
damage was done all over the
island ; the mills, works and hou
ses in the country, were more or
less damaged, the canes on almost
evefy state have also been very
much damaged, few of the vessels
in the harbour rode out the gale ;
the fences throughout the town
were levelled, and several
Very much injured; provided^al
ly not one life was loft ; none of
the vessels that were drove on
Chore, received any material dam

The highest of the storm was
1 and 2 a clock; and
compelled 0 le& i^to the
First Legislature, two thirds of the
present Convention ; and Jecondly
whether it was expedient to ac
cept or reject the Constitution hi
tire, or propose amendments to
it. The final adoption of it, is
not, however, despaired of. To
Iquell the infurreciion in La-Ven

the Northern army, has been or
dered;? but the whole vidorious
army from the frontiers of Spain
were on their march; and tr.me
columns had arrived in the vicin

those ivho remembered the hurricane
in 1772, were apprehensive that the
storm would have been more violent
after the calm ; bet in this they were
agreeably disappointed.
Two boules in the town of St.
Johns, were entirely ruined : The
country has fuffered very confidera
biy; but we are happy to find that
the damage was not so great as in
1772 ; and the heavy rains which
fell on Wednesday will we hope,
prevent the canes from being so
much damaged as they otherwise
would have been.

inch dliriqg the storm, being as low*
as 29 inches and one tan th of an

of the storm was past.

That it would please him to ex
tend his divine favors to the whole
world of mankind ; cause pure and
undefiled Religion universally to
prevail; and the Glories of his Name
and Triumphs of his Grace to be
known and acknowledged through
out ail Nations.
And I do recommend that all per-
AS the Dyfenlary is prevelent at
this time, the following prescription
from Dodlor Marryat, of Bristol, is
offered to the Public. It has this,
at least, to recommend it, that if it
does no good, it ‘will do no harm.'
Take a ffieet of white paper; cut
it into flips, boil in a pint and half of
milk, to a point to be taken at
twice.” r T'*' *.
The Doctor fayM^“ When it was
firft communicated’to me, by an an
cient Physician on the continent, it
afforded no small employment to my
visible muscles. The good natur^d
old gentleman without taking any
offence at my mirth, only observed
that I might inthe course of prac
tice, meet with something, fecmingly
as ridiculous, which would prove
of no small efficacy.—Many years
passed without the least thoughts of
it, till being called to a gentleman’s
fori', about nine years of age, pre
viously attended by four Physicians,
who could be of little service, be-,
cause the child obstinately refufed
to take any medicines. Ashamed
to mention , the paper dole to my
brethren, I alked the mother, if her
son was fond of milk; Ihe replied
in. the affirmative • the paper was
boiled in it, and when I visited him
the next morning, he was perfectly
recovered.. Some ’time after, a lady
who had beenfeized with the most
dreadful dyfentary I ever saw, in a
quarter of an hour after taking the
boiled paper was well—N. B. This
never deceived me.”
Marryat's Tucrapeatisth
sons religion fly abstain from fervile_
labour, and such recreations as are
unbecoming the folemuity of the
day.
