COWES, SEPT. 2.

INFORMATION is just received, that on Tuesday
evening, about eight o'clock, between the Needles
and Portland, a Brig, under American colours, was
totally destroyed by fire ; it is supposed to be the
Juic, laden with wine and burr stones, from Rouen
to Cork, which put into these Roads in the night
of the 3oth ulr. It is not known with certainty, if
the whole of the Crew escaped.

Though many advantages have already been de-
rived from the blessings of Peace and our Union
with the Sister Kingdom, it ought to he remem-
bered, that still more may be expelled, and the
preservation of all ensured, by a co-operation of
plans wisely formed and judiciouslyexecuted. There
are none which seem to us better calculated for this
end, than Societies of good men combined for the
purpose of " DiscOUntenancing Vice, and Promot-
ing the Practice of Virtue and Religion." Such a
one was instituted in Dublin about seven years ago,
the salutary effects of which were strongly evinced
during the late unhappy rebellion in Ireland. The
Anniversary of the Institution was commemorated
in an excellent Sermon preached by the Bishop cf
MEATH in May 1793, wherein its great utility
wins very forcibly described by his Lordship. This
Society probably took its rise from that excellent
-one established in London about fourteen years ago,
called " The Proclamation Society ;" and we are
haply to find that another, similar to the above
two, cailesl " The Society for the Suppression of
rice," has within, these few months been formed
in London, composed of Members of the Esta-
blished Church, and that its progress has been so
rapid, as for its numbers to amount already to near
four hundred, of highly respeaable *traders, many
of whom are of the first rank and distinction.
Some of their principal objets, we understand, are
to enforce a better observance of the Sabbath, by.
giving effete to the laws now in existence for that
purpose ; to encourage the industrious Tradesman
and Artificer, but to suppress in all ranks, as much
as possible, immorality and illegal ',radices.
It is with very sincere pleasure that we antici-
pate the future success of this usefui Society from the
progress it has already made," and we cannot • but
hope that its example will be followed both in Town
and the Country, by ()tilers of a similar descrip-
tion,: The arm of Justice will be strengthened by
the united efforts of men, who having only •in
view the benefit of the Community at large, will,
by enforcing the salutary Laws of their Country,
preserve to it that true peace and security, which
can no longer be lasting than while formed on . the
basis of Virtue and Reiigion. •
A letter from Lemwig, in North Jutland, says—,
" The night of August 9th will be long remem.
bered by us. The day had been uncommonly hot,
towards evening the sky was darkened by a thun.
der-storm, coming from the sea. The lightning
was so incessant, that the heavens seemed in one
continued blaze ; and many foreboded the arrival
of the Day of Judgment, or at least the entire de,
strudion of Leinwig by fire. The thunder-storm
lasted two hours and a half, and was succeeded by a
dreadful hail ; the stones being of the size of a pul.
let's egg. The damage done to the corn, as fir as
the hail exteuded, being a circle of about four or
five English miles, is dreadful ; the whole country
where it passed presents a scene of desolation.. A
remarkable phenomenon during this tempest was,
that while tile lightning seemed the strongest, we
Ileard an unusual hissing in. the air, which resembled
the noise of a multitude of large blrdi taking
flight."

PARIS, Aug. 3z.

TH E Affairs of Germany are on the point of
• being settled. France, Russia, Austria, Prussia,
and Bavaria, are agreed. Prussia has taken
possession of the States allotted to her by the
Plan of the two great Mediating Powers. Austria
has taken possession of Salzburg, inercLstigacien,
Brixen, and Trente, which are in like manner al.
lotted to her by the same plan ; but the Imperial
Minister has-declared that the taking possession of
Passau is. only for the purpose of maintaining the
rights of the Bishop until the moment when the Me-
diating Powers- of the Deputation of the Empire
shall finally pronounce with respeCt to that subject.
.The Publicists has published pretended Letters
from Sqvitzerland to the First Consul. The Freneb
Government recognizes one Government alone in
the Helvetic Republic. A part of the People can-
not therefore write to the First Consul, without be-
ing in rebellion against their own Government.
RATISBON, Auo. i15.--LThe Russian and French
Minister have jointly presented to the Diet of Ra..
tisbon aProjet, which they have adopted as Media-
tors of :he Affairs of Germany. The Ministers of
Prussia, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, and Baden, have ex:.,
pressed their readiness to concur with -that proposi-
tion. In the mean time the Count de ME ERF ELD has
taken possession of .Passau, not because the EmPE.
ROR wishes to appropriate that Territory to him-
self, but because he is an Ally of the BISHOP of
Passau, and it was necessary .to take possession
of that Bishopric, to keep the Vavarians from
seizing it before the decision of the Diet is known.
According to • the arrangement of, the Indemnities
agreed upon by Russia and Freince, it is to form part
of the Indemnities of the ELECTOR of BAVARIA, and.
it certainly would be more convenient to him than
to any other Prince. The objeet of the Houst of
AUSTRIA ought to be that of preserVing its Fron-
tiers, but Passau is an offensive, not• a defensive
position, and the possessitin cf: it by
Austri.
would destroy the Independence of Bavaria,
prevent it from acquiring that weight whit •
cessary to preserve the Equilibrium of.Gerinan;.,

All the engigements at the Opera House win ::=
took place under the management of Mr. TA.I-Lot<,
have, it is said., been annulled by the .dirdlig
Trustees. These engagements are, however, under.
' stood to be annulled only pro forma, as most of the
PerfOlmers are likely to be re-employed.,

VIGANONI and Mrs. BILLING.TpN are the oilly•
Performers who have at present entered into en-
gagements under the authority of the present Con-
duttor& Of the Opera House.
BAN7I has quitted Paris, and is supposed to be,
gone to Vienna, where she has been engaged some
time.

,DWYER will probably make his first appearance,
next season, at Drury lane Theatre, in the eharaCter-
Of Charles in The School for Scandal., . But what
will the Managers do for a new Sir Peter Teazle ?.

There were so many of EirtyroN's relations in:
the Weymouth 'Theatre this Summer, that their
combined performances afforded a striking illustra.,
tion of the history of S:ylvester Daggerlvord and
The remains of poor Piosst the Composer were
yesterday deposited in St. Pancras Church Yard.-
It is to be hoped that the Su BSC RIBERS to the
Opera 1-lOuse, who have so often been gratified by
the powers of this unfortunate Genius, the viCtim
of his own 'sensibility, will enter into a humane"
Subscription in order to soften the afflidiocs of. his
surviving family.

As the Gentlemen of the Bar find themselves so
indifferently accommodated with drovers, on the
Circuit, the best .plan, they can adopt is toSorrn
themselves into a Pic-1171c Society. 'They might
carry their provisions ,with them, and a
biiel:.64 would make a very good cvallet.

•The 'following curious faft is related by Mr.
`KENZI 2, who, in his in North Ame-
rica, has manifested great abiiities, an 'ardour of
research, and an entetpriying spirir4 t;lz4 cn.tle him
to the resped of mankind,
One morning I was awakened to be info
that an Indian had been killed. I accorai
hastened to the camp, where I bound two vu:m

employed in rolling up the dead body of a man, c;,
ed the White Partridge, in'a beaver robe, which .. •
had lent him. He had received four mortal wound..:
.from a dagger, two within the c )Ikr-bone, one,
the left reast, and another in the small of thebaCi4
with two cuts across his head. The murderer, whO
had been my hunter through the winter, had fled
and it was pretended that several relations of th -
deei,s,ased weregone in pursuit of him. The history
of this unfortunate event • is as.follows
" These two men had been comrades for four .
years ; the murderer had 3 wives ; and the young
man who was killed, becoming enamoured of ore
of them,. the husband consented ro yield her to him,
with the reserved-power of claiming her as his pro-
perry, .when it should be his plea,,nre. • This con-
nexion was unintereupted for near three Yr•,!r:_,, w!l1:1, -
whimsical as it may appear, the husbaod became
jealous, and. the public amour wai suspended, The .
parties, however, made their private assignatiotis,
which caused the woman to be so ill trea•ed by her
husband, that the paramour was determined to ;Ace •
her away by force ; and this proj:ct ended in his
death."
