HURRICANE AT GIBRALTAR.

The following extracts from the Gi,Valtar Chronick
give some further, and authentic, particulars of the hurri-
cane which I.:kly did so much mischief in that Bay :

[From the Gibraltar ell 'Oldie of the 7th Dee
It Is with painful feelings that we notice the cfftcts of the dread-
ful storm experienced last Light in the Bay. After some days
blowing from theweet, the barometer announced the approaching
destruction. A little after four p.m. the wind veered to the south-
west, and blew with the greatest violence during the best part of
rl,e night. This morning the sight from off Montague Battery to
Ferri ts, PIII:ip ens ttuly appalling. Almost rote half of the
ve..sels which were in this anchorage were stranded, principally on
the Neutral Ground ; and, in some places, lying In heart,,crushed
together. The Golionttian pr:vateer was driven on shore beyond
Fort Bt. Philip ; she lies on her beam ends, and considerably under
water. _ . .

[From the Chron;rk of the II b )
It is yet. seri will be for tom? days. impossible to ateertain the
exact number of ves..els driven on shore, many of which are com.
pieta wrecks, particularly a number of small craft, which have been
crushed by the larger vessels, anti are entirely gone to pieces. It
it retired die total number exceeds one hundred and fifty, and had
the storm continued with equal violence, not a vessel would have
rscaprd.
Thr crew (shunt 70 men) of the Colombian privateer, General
.coublittte, wtti, thy esceptien of her eirmwearider and a few sailors,
surrendered to tht troops yesterday the vessel lies mon-
rite t/..! advanced rtvanisli pest, and within half musket shot of the
troops stationed en ;he beach.

-
]Frum the Cherrnick of the 9th.]
The Tenets on shore puff.2red severely from the effects of another
severe gaits last right : several more have stranded in the course of
the night. It rimy with confilence ha seserted that, of between 3'
aed 400 vesstts in this port, not a dnsen have escaped without da.
Of loss of caMes, anritors, &e. Forty-three out of seventy.
one men of the ere-, of the Colombian privateer, taken prisoners by
Spaniards, effected their escape from the lines last night.
IFront the Or-ankle of the I flth.l
The easels on shore at llayside were counted yesterday, hut It is
very difieult to do it correctly. There are at least one hundred aid
wise*. Adding to this number those of Fort St. Philip, and un-
der the works of the garrison, and reckoning those which have al.
Beady been got off, the total of stranded vessels (square and latteen
rigged), is attoposed to Imre anwitinted.to two hundred and forty.
To these are further to he added, Moss that foundered, the number
if which is not yet known ; and it is felted will be townd to be eon.
siderable. The dead bodies pielred off the beach are already very
numerous, and It is supposed that there are many WON under the
vesteh• bottoms.

Last night we received the Paris Papers of Tuesday,
They do not furnish us with a tingle word of intelligecce
from Russia. 'r he Journal des Debuts offers an capitula-
tion of some circumstances which were supposed to be in-
compatible with the fact of the accession of the Emperor
NicitoLAS:—." It appiars that notwithstanding the docu-
ment which declared the renunciation of the throne by
the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, the Grand Duke Nice-
tits hail the delicacy to proclaim him Emperor. The
Grand Duke CoxSTANTINE, on his part, fully believing
that this document, promulgated by him on receiving the
news of ALEXANDER'S death, had prevented the procla-
mation of his accession, sent the Gand Duke NIICHA EL
with a written confirmation of the document declaratory of
his renunciation of the throne. The Grand Duke
lftcnaet. met the courier bringing the intelligence
of the proclamation of CoNrANTINE I. at Mitten,
three days journey from St. Petersburgh, and two from
Warsaw. He has since felt it his duty to wait at Ft.
Petersburgh for despatches from CONSTANTINE, subse-
quent to his receiving the news of his proclamation.
Five or six days wquld be sufficient for that purpose.'
Another account in the same journal is, that the Emperor
ALEXANDER had time before his death to write i letter
with his own hand to CONSTANTINE, which the latter, it
is said, had sent the Grand Duke MICHAEL to deliver in
person to the Empress Mother at St. Petersburgh. The
Courtier Francois mentions a report that the object of the
,
uranu LIM AIICHAEL'S mission was to stipulate, as the
conditions of Cowers xviwee abdication, that all the
Polish provinces now incorporated with the Russian Em-
pire shall be restored to that kingdom which is under the
reign of CONSTANTINE, to resume its independence, and
that the provinces of the Crimea and the establishments of
the Black Sea shall be formed into a principality for
Miens EL These of course can only be conjectures, and
are, therefore, entitled to little regard ; one fact is worthy
notice: On Monday M. Pozzo DI Bianco, the Russian
Ambassador at Paris, administered to the Members of his
legation the oath of fidelity to the Emperor CONSTAR'.
TINE. It is remarked, however, that M. Pout DI Boum
did not attend at the Tuileries on New Year's-day with the
rest of the body. Ile is said to have declared that, in the
utter ignorance in which be finds himself as to what has
pissed, he considers himself at present only u the keeper
of the archives of the Russian legation.
