the damage occasioned by the late storms and
inundations, from which we extract the follow-
ing particulars :

Bnussnr.s, N'o v..l6.—The steam-packet from London to
Ostend Was driven by a storm, on its last voyage, into the
mouth of the Scheldt, and piloted by a fisherman to Antwerp.
littntn, Nov. 15.—. After so many storms which have
prevailed formate. than a whale month, and have done so much
damage on our and the neighbouring coasts, we had lust night
a atorin from the W.N.W. accompanied with thunder , and
lightning, and between two and three q'clock, with the flood
coming in, the sea rose to an extraordinary and amazingheight.
6411 as has not been seen here in the memory of man, being
I ell, 9 palms, and 3 inches above the usual high water mark,
and the waves beating over the summit of the great Sea Dike.
Thank heaven there is not, as far as we can hear, any imme-
diate danger of a breach.
lissaLE DI, Nov. 17.—The reports of the state of the water in
the lower rivers are not yet satisfactory. The dikes on the
right bank of the Leek have suffered very much by the beating
of the waves against then' ; every precaution is taken to prevent
the waters from doing farther damage. At Cologne the water
141 rising on the 13th, but fell on the 14th. On the 16th
the water had risen some inches at Arnheim and other places.
()Ilthlkit the water was very high at Bois le Due, and the
country round Orthers, Empel, &c., was inundated so rapidly,
that the fanners bad no time to save any provision or fodder for
their horses.

Nov. 19.---The accounts from the rivers are by no means
favourable. On the 17th the water continued to rise. On the
Preceding day the 'thine was rising at Emmerich, and even at
414", and at eight in the morning bad risen to the height of
27 feet 2i inches. Between eight and ten it was stationary ; we
have no later 4-.ccounts from that quarter.
