DREADFUL EFFECTS OF :I 1-11G13'711DE.

BOSTON, Nov. H.—The last „night's high tide
has dOne so Muchfclarnage to the.di&rent sea-banks,
as to render it impossible for me to leaye the I.)lace.,
Freiston Bank is totally gone, and hardly any trace
kit: The Old Sea Rank also is gone in many places
by the Bathing, and all along the shore. The.prin-
cipal inn is much damaged, as the tide passed through;
the house, and took away a lary.e how-window.—
The banks, all the way up the Witham, on both
sides, ,are broken in many places; and the country
uncler ,ater : our drains takeit,otf irn ,one,side, but.
the Wiberton side to the ,Foss:,clike is many feel un-
der water. The bank broke by the Grandshire and
filled Tannard's Pasture by his house Many:feet:in_
water ; in short, the country is one scene of distress.
Numbers of lives are lost boilt by land and sea,
and the quantity of stock is wonderfully great. Mr.
Rodgers, the attorney, has just been in, and says the:
report is upwards of half -a million of money lost in
stock. The tide was six , inches higher Here than
the new year's gale—indeed, the highest that ever
was known. A vessel is carried on to: the turnpike
between the Black Sluice and the town, xvith other.
two stuck fast in the breach behind her. Mr.
Sheath's.bankS, at Tiyertnn, are.broken, Wrangle
Bank, and, laSt of all, theF,riskney. New Bank ; but
from the latter I have 'understood little damage is
done, and the farmers are -rejoicing that it has sit'ed
all their stock, as the Old Bank would not have
...„
been high enough. .
`A King s. sloop is sunk'at Hobhole, with 30-men
on board, who all perished; another with the hands
on
.boark4bot the full pruticulFrs aye not known.—
Several ;houses are blown doWn, and tin ibofs off
many'roihers.. ,The account; from the se. must be.
dreadful. -• • • ••••• :• .• • • .

Liu REPORT.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, .Nov.
THE KING U. HORTON.

The feleOant, who is Chionel of the. HA-11A
Local Militia, was hrotgtit tip to receive jtidgitient,
for assAtillin a Mr...M.)rrs, under the :folls.ming
clicumStancQs:,--The prosecutor's servant, who was
a Local Milivantan in the defendant's'iegiment,
uds sent to' the guard- hf:aise 'for miscoudott: The
prosecutor interfered with the Colonel to have. him
,enlarged, as he wanted. his, services .that day. The
manner of the prosecutor irrhated the defendant,
Who called him a d—d insolent; infamotis scoundrel.
The prosecutor retorted this language, when the
defendant gave him se;,erai blows, which was the
assault of which he stood convicted. -He was sen-
tenced to pay a fine of 501. to find sureties him-
self in tool. each, and two securities in 501, each,

The Wowing article appeared in the Orebro Ga
zette of the 13ili of October Certain' foreign
journals spread the report.that a- contraband com-
merce is carried on between Sweden and England,
that English :vesSel4. are
,received into .the port of
CTottenbutigh, &c. 'We have to declare, tharthis
report is entirely false. andiabricated, The Swe-
dish Government scrupulously fulfils the obligations
Which it ha's contracted relative to the maintenance
of the Continental System. But if English cruisers
colleet in the, open sea, and at some miles from
Gottenburgh, a number of merchant ships, that
is a circumstance which the Swedish Govern-,
ment cannot prevent, and which cannot be imputed
to it."
As Mr. and Mrs. Atkins,: of Maidstone, were.re
turning from . London on. Thursday last,. in_ their
gle horse chaise, just as they had' reached the 15-
"mile 'stone, corner of Birch-wood; about half past
o'clock in the day, a man came out of a VI) way,
and without saying a word, seized the horse by the
head. Mr. Atkins tmmediately stood up in the
chaise, and said.he would not be robbed, and begin
to flog the man with his chaise whip, in hopes of
making him let go the horse's head, upon'. which he
drew his right hand from behind him, and pre,ebted
a horse pistol. At .that instant a companion of his,
whom Mr. Atkins had not seen bfore, made his
appearance, and going round the horse to Mr. At-
kins'a., side, demanded his money. 'Mr. A. finding
resistance useless, gay& him four guineas ;' not sa-
tisfied with this, the robber Sal T,•`.` you have more,
money ;" Mr. A'. replied, " yes, I .havea little sil-
ver" and gave hied to the amount of I os. The rob-'
ber afterwards demanded his watch, which having a
tortoise-shell case, he said he would net have it, but
repeatedly question, him. ;as to his having 'more mo-
ney, when, on mr. A's assuring him ,he had not,
lie was suffered to proceed. The man who seized
the horse never spoke a word all the time, but held
ahehorse with 'his left hand and the pistol with his
right ; the other, who took the Money, said it was
distress drove them to it. Neither of them attempt-
ed to rob Mrs. Atkins, nor say any thing to her.
On the first
,day of this Term _the gaoler of En-
niskillen appeared in the. Four Courts, Dublin, with
fourteen iitsolvent debtors, whom he brought up
from prison, for the determination of their respec-
tive cases. Such has been this 'worthy gaoler's hu-
manity and meritorions.cooduCt to all the unhappy
prisoners whose misfortunes had thrown them into
confinement,
.and such a feeling of grateful honesty
4d it excite in their bosnms, that the whole four-
teen accompanied hirri to Dublin, without any other
guard than their own honour. They were seen at-
rending hint closely in the Hall, and not one among
theM would quit him fort moment in a crowded
where escape could not, have. been prevented,.
, SHOP-LIFTING EXTRAORDIOA-Y.—A. woman,' of
the most respectable appearance, 'and dressed in fa-
shionable style, was yesterday charged, at the Public
Office Marlborough-streets with having stolen a
piece, of French cambric, sial6e 41. at a linen:draper's
in Oxford-street. 'We forb-ar to mention the name
of the prisoner, as a publicity of the sort would .tend
seriously to injure a connexion to-Which she is at-
tached ; Suffice it to say,' that she has carried on
bdsiness in a fancy trade for some time. .She,called
at the shop of the prosecutor, and revested to look•
at some articles of-cambric, and, in doing so, ,she
contrived to conceal the article for which she .was
charged under her mantle. She. was committed for
another examination.
