Extract osa [(Htr from Duhlin, Octoher 24.
'_' Last week the British King, Csitpt. Tobin, arrived
Hurry from St. Christopher's, and has l.uitlcd two
ch sailors, with a Gentleman and his wise, that
were assengers on board ;! merchantman, bound to
Bour enux, from Cnfcnne in Souxh Amcrica, whom
he tocflc up at sea about thnty ]engucs from Cape
Usham. These unfortunate people lust their ship by
an accidental fire that broke out in the night, and
with eat difficulty got into their boat, intending to
take in the remainder of the crew, who were few in
ctnumbek, as soon as themselves were in safety; but
unhappily thosise between decks, though often called,
not answering, and being supposed already to be suffo
cated with the flames, which began to issue from the
hatches, they made the best of their way from the
wreck, which blew up in less than an hour, and after
passing three days in this misei'nble state had the good
fortune to meet with the above vessel.
Extract a] !! Itlttr from lhoulnuie.
" On the L7th of September the Garonne, which
had for more than & month before been so low as to
be unnavigable, was, by fix o'clock in the morning,
from a full of rain during the whole preceding day,
raised to its ordinary height. At three the fame af
ternoon it oi'erflowcd its banks with great impetuosi
ty, carrying away more than ten thousand loads of
timber, together with rasts, boats, barks, casks, &c.
The religious went in proccsston upon the new bridge.
The swell continued till nine at night, when they he
gan to hope it was at the height; but at ten o'glock
the waters again rose so fast that the inhabitants of the
isle os Tounis, ofthe suburbs of St. Michael, the port
of Gauraud, and the quarter of St. Cyprian, aban
doned their houses. No less than 600 houses were
dcmolished, and more than 50 persons buried in their
ruisins. Those unfortunate people, who were not able
to gain the town, took refuge in the church of St.
Nicholas. The first president, town officers, and ci
tizens, exerted themselves for the common safety.
The cattlc designed to su ply the buccheries were
drowned; and in St Nicholas parish albne more than
a thousand head were lost (Sn'this occasion."
It is asscrtcd that upwards of two thousand pounds
has been lost by the members of a putriotic club in the
city, in consequence 'bf MJ'. Wilkes not being chosen
Lord Mayor.
The Honourable Mr. Charles Fox has had greater
fucc'ess upon the turf at Newmarket, during the last
meeting, than any adventurer there for many years

that, for obvious reaioni, & resided abroad, she in
plicitly believ him. They Were pleased with each
other, and he allowed the Lady to England, where,
at length, she consented to marry him, but did not
acquaint her family, lest they' should interfere, and
object to his birth (as he Was a nat ild) but in

hefore this wedding was to take place a Lad of
quality happened to be in a millincr's shop, and see
ing some fine laced ruffles on the counter, was told
they were for a Gentleman of the name of H ,
who lodged in their house, and who was shortly to
be married to Lady H——. Good God! bid the
Lady, Lady H has been very fly; 1 Know Mr.
H , he is a very accomplished Gentleman. But,
unfortunately for him, he happened that instant to
pass through the shop, when she knew him, not to be
Mf. H , but a clerk to a merchant in Italy. She
said nothing to the millincr, but harried to Lady
H , and told her he wa's an impostor, and gave
her such circumstantial reasons as convinced the '
young Lady; who, when he came in the evening,
addressed him in the following manner: " Sir, by
accident I understand who you real-{y are; after that
you cannot suppose I can ever see you again; but as
[one: esteemed you, and as this undertaking may
