W :AAA. MARCH 9.

Tut- STortiv—The effects of the dreadful
iicane On Thunday se'imight have been severely
by many of the inhabitants of this port. oldest
seamen here do not recollect so sullen and terrible
a gale Many houses are notch injured, and the
whole length of the quay is mare or leas tie waged.
During the time it was almost impassible fiats the
number of boats and wreck which cuverel it. luny
parts of the channel, and along the coast, have been
also strewed with flouting wreck. S-veral vessels
use ashore on the coast, but most provitlentiaily we
have not vet heard of any lives lost. The Vigilaw,
Captain lilt:Attar, was, during tit.: whole of it,
riding in the bay aiitt had a very I and time of it,
the crew being vitt: exhausted and worn out with
fatigue and coi.i. but hat returned here safety
with vety little amasser. A letter from Dover in.

Monday se'nnight, a large tido' in the neighbour•
loud of Burionhill, near hleelick, in the County of
('lure, was turned up by a party of those nightly
depredators, called Itibbonmon, and a (Laing notice
of which the following is a blew! copy, posted on
the smith's forge :

The respected father of English painting, Benja-
min West, Esq. expired at his house on Friday la.t,
in the B‘.2d year of his age. His works will log• be
a monument equally honourable to him, and to the
country that boasts of having given him birth.
Tt is rumoured, that though the puldie accounts
for the current quarter will exhibit a falling off in
the trade of the country to the amount of some
millions, there will, on the whole revenue, be no
deficiency ; but, on the contrary, including the last
quarter. there will be a considerable surplus.
Considerable interest has been excited by the
manner in which the French Papers represent Gcn.
O'Donnel pressing on the rear of the division of
national troops, under Colonel Riego, as if' some
apprehensions were entertained for his safety, it
being stated that he quitted Malaga in a precipitate
manner. It ought to be remembered, that we have
no accounts whatever of the operations to which we
allude but those derived from the courier sent up
to Madrid by the Royalist party, and these again
received a second version before they were published
in Paris. To know what really happened, we Inuit
wait for arrivals from the Mediterranean. Riego's
grand object was to penetrate, as soon as possible, to
Granada, where his presence would liberate nutn-
bsrs of victims. His determination to proceed
thither, proves he was perfectly at ease, and having
left Malaga on the 19th, he must have arrived at
Velez-Malaga next day in the monting, the distance
being only live Spanish leagues, and the road very
good. On the evening ot the fidlowing day, he
would reach Alliama, near which place is a pass in
the mountains, weep and narrow, where cavalry
cannot act, and where, with 300 men, he can pre-
vent the advance ot a whole army. By the posses-
sion of this defile, and the villages on the mountains
of Las Alpuharras, a few stragglers kept themselves
independent for many years, after the expulsion of
the Moors from Spain. From Alhanta to Granada
it is only a few hours march ; consequently, it was
in Riego's power to enter the latter city on the 22d,
and still keep possession of the heights, in which
case O'Donnel would have to make u retrograde
movement towards Motril, which would delay him
nearly a week. Rego is aware of the fiivourable
reception that awaits him; this, the King's repre-
sentative, Eguia, has prepared for him, by crowding
the prisons a ith victims, and besides three-fourths
of the inhabitants of Granada are staunch Liberals.
greatest part of the King's troops had previously
been withirawn from the province, aid Riego has
wish him some of the best infantry in the Spanish
army. In the whole of Navarre, we understand,
there is only one King's regiment, so that Mina has
an ample field for his exertions. It was expected
Pamplona would immediately fall into his hands.
The House of Lords is to be splendidly ornament-
ed before the next meeting of Parliament. A new
duck, of a remarkable elegilace of torm and consi-
derable value, is to be substituted for the usual one:
there will also be a new thermometer to correspond
in form with the cluck. The old tapestry is to be
taken down and removed into the Painted Chamber,
and the walls are to be covered with rich scarlet cloth
We must. confess we cannot part, without regret,
with those grim-visaged and valorous patriots who
stood forth the defenders of England a;,ntinst the
insolent invader, and, we may add, who once in-
spired Lord Chatham with so noble a movement of'
oratory in the House. The new throne will be very
splendid ; this was an improvement very impera-
tively called fur.—The ancient chair, which served
for a throne, was ill suited to the dignity of the
Crown, the Parliament, and the Nation.

A very erroneous opinion prevails, that State Pri-
mers, confined in the Tower, are allowed a guinea

To the GENTLEMEN, CLERGy, and FKEEIIOLDERS
of the COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX.
GN my return from my canvass, I observe Mr.
Samuel Charles Whitbread's address as a Candidate to represent
you in Parliament.
From what passed yesterday at the meeting of Mr. Whit-
bread's Friends, Sir Francis Burdett appears to be the most
powerful one among them all ; but reflecting on what passed in
the years 11102. 1804. and 1806, when the Honourable Baronet
himself was a candidate for the same situation. and unprecc.
dented exertions by which you regained your liberties, I cannot
for a moment doubt, that the same energy which gained the
victory will retain the conquest. Together we have fought, and
together we must defend our rights. Our opponent, will find
that we have Rot slumbered in security, hut have always been
watchful of all machinations. With the fullest oantidence that
by your exertions I shall again be placed in a situation the
highest object of nay ambition.
1 have the honour to be. Gentlemen,
Your most obliged and faithful humble servant.
