This morning arrived the s',ip Italiaosd, of 'blew-
Yore, which took in a Pilot here for London, as did
also a ship from the Bay of Honduras: the latter •
landed some passengers. At the same time, three
American ships were seen passing down Channel, at
the back of the Goodwin. The American ships from
Holland, have, for some time past, seemed very shy ;
T. Hall, one of our over-sea Pilots, as they are
usually called, to distinguish them from the Trinity
Pilots, has made his escape from thence, where be
had been detained some time.

i'hesiicknessWhiCirTaieliprevailed at Flushing,
his carried tiff a great number of people. Most of
the English, some of whom had resided there a
great white, have been induced to quit the place in
consequence.
One of our pilots, Wheat who lately returned
from theace very ill, is since dead.
Last night, a boat, with all her materials, which
was lying in the harbour, at a convenient place to
put to sea on the arrival of any shipping, was cut
from her moorings, and taken away, said to be by
some Danes. The depredators got clear off, and
are now most likely on shore in France.
A large hr.'', called the Gate Sachet with bark
from Rotterdam, is come into this harbour ; the
pumps are going, and it is with much difficulty she
is kept from sinking. Another boy, from the West-
ward, is steering for the harbour.
A small fleet of transports has just passed for the
Downs.

Came in the Mate, Rossiter, from New-Yotk ;
Basenji Marshall, from Demerara; HideArii, Gil-

more, from Dublin; Reinder, Roberts; and Liberty,
Pritchard. from London.
Arrived, at St. Petersburgh, dose, Streeter, and
Better-Leek-Still, Yeomans ; at Oporto, Lonely
Ptah North, from Bristol.

The North-east coast of Norfolk felt the 'felts of
the gale which blew so violently from the North on
Wednesday last. The levelness of the coast, the
height of the tide, and the fury of the viscid, made
the sea rush in upon the land with such force and
velocity as had hardly ever been experienced.—
liflakeney harbour, which is dry at low water, wai
filled by the sea in the space of a few minutes; the
tide rose above the banks, and the boats and vessels
which were in the harbou► soon floated into the
quay, and stove against the buildings. Cley, which
is about a mile from Blakeney, afforded as extraor-
dinary a spetffacle. The tide usually rises at this
place from 8 to It feet, and this time it rose not less
than la; the streets were completely inundated, and
nothing but closed doors and dungett crevices, pre-
vented several feet of water penetrating into the
ground floors of the houses. Theroad from Blakeney
to Cley lies over apairt of the land which is always
covered by a few inkhes of the water which comes
up to Cley. When the gale began to rage furiuusly,
a gig passed with little inconvenience, as the water
rose not much above the horse's ancles, but the tide
rolled in with such extraordinary rapidity. that half
an hour after it was absolutely impassable. Two
gentlemen in a gig were about driving over at this
time, and were only saved from the danger• of the
passage by a humane countryman, who observing
what they were after, pursued them as fast as be
could, and arrived just as the horse had put his fore
feet into the waves. This passage displays a remark-
able instance of negligence; the road is often over-
flowed, and as a guide to the traveller, tall posts ate
eretlted which might be of great use to declare the
height of the water; yet these posts are without fi-
gure marks, and can be of no use for this purpose.
Clay frequently suffers similar inundations to the
present ; and in the adaptation of the structure of the
houses to tlie inconvenience of the situation, the in.
habitants have displayed a curious specimen of in-
genuity and foresight ; almost all tl.e houses which
adjoin the water are so built, that their entrance is
two stairs downwards ! Oise prudent trade,maa-
only has `, built his house high upon a rock, aid
the foods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon
that house. and it fell not."
At Lynn, the tide rose so high in the harbour,
that many houses in the lower parts of the town
were oveifloaed ; and the shipping and sea-bank.
received steno damage.
