down, but the curnerhoese w-as left standing, and
was, occupied by families from top to blottorn. A
Inge stack of chimnies belonging to this house hay •
ing lost its former support and protedion, and owing
to the high winds during yesterday, gave way last
night about six o'clock, and falling in upon the roof,
brought the whole down through All the floors suc-
cessively. A roan named Anderson and his wife, in
the third .floor„, were carried down with the ruins,
and almost. literally cr .shed,to Pieces. • About half
an bete- after yards they ,a ere deg out of the'ruins,
but %ithoqi any signs of life. Their son, a boy
. sbont 12 years of age, was carried down also by the
ruins, but escaped pearly Mil:ter. The father and
Inot:,er were found to each others arms, and in a
state completely mangled ; the bodied were con-
veyed to the Apple Tree, a public-house in the
neighbourhood. The father Was an old soldier,
who, in the. field of battle; has' had many a hair-
breadth escape. A poor woman -who lived in the
cellar, with tour children, 'had just gone out about
a minute before the fatal accident, with all,her chil-
dren, to the neighbouring shop for a candle, other-
wise they must have been crushed to pieces, as
the whole floors of the house came down. It is
supposed-that another man has lest his life, tit* the

different families in,the house were from home at
the time. '

Yesterday two meti were brought: to the Public

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM BUENOS AVRES,
'DATED ,SEPTEMBRR 27:

"", Information has been received here, stating
that Gen. Liniers with Conches, the Go%ernot. of
Cordova,- and three oth-rs,' have been shot, by a,
deputation sent from the Junta of tin, place for that
nerpose, with Castilla; one of the Members ot the
Junta, at the head'. of the depu:ation. They met
the General aoout .30 leagues on this side Cordova;
where the fatal busihess took place ; tht-1, were al-
lowed only three hours for Cl:Mit-Al/11. This affair
is looked upon by the citizens of Buenos Ayres with
horror: General Ltuieis is muc:i regretted by the
inhabitanis of Buenos Ayres, aulon:st whom he ha.!
many friend's; and was, greatly beloved. Many are
of Opinion that this affair will tend to injure the
cause of the present Gwernment. We ;ire at
this moment experiencing great difficulties in con-
sequenee of disputes between the Government of
Monte Video and the Junta of this place: the
peeple of. Monte Video having all the Spanish
naval force in this quarter at their disposal, have
declared this town in a state ot blockade, and for
this purpose they have moored their armed flotilla,
consisting of one sloop ot war,. three armed brigs,
and four or five feluccas, in the form of a half
moon, just without gun-shot in the front of the
town, so that no vessel can pass without their per-
mission. The British ships they turn over to the
disposal of Capt. Elliot, the Senior Officer on the
station; in the Porcupine frigate, and he sends them
to Maldonado, where •he direas them -to remain
until he shall ' receive instruaions from Adm. ral De
Courcy, at Rio : all other flags which attempt to
break the blockade without permission, are sent to
Monte Video, where they are, condemned as prizes:
I have just learned that a large ship. with a rich
cargo from London, called the invention, is 'lost at
the mouth of . the, river Phita, on tie English bar ;
all the crew drowned except the Captain and 13
men, who are arrived in a boat at Monte Video.—
,ThiS place is still overstocked with goods; which
are selling here at a lower rate than they were ptir-
*chased at in England : it is supposed that seven
years consumption will scarcely take off the stock
on hand : the consequences to the. exporters on
your side. must be attended with ruin and bank-
ruptcy."

MINISTRY OF MARINE'

REPORT, FROM THE CAPITAINR DE FREGATO ROUS-

5E.115, TO THE MINISTER QM MR MARINE.

On board L'Aniazone, Havre, Nov. 28.
I have the honour to inform your Excellency;
that I sailed from Havre on the 12i b, at ten at night,
with the frigate L'Ainazone, under my c.ommand,
and L' Eliza, Captain Fresemet, with a wind variable
from N. E. to N. N.B.

We steered a course between the N. W. and N.
N. W. quarter, and at one in the morning we pt-r-
-ceived, nor far floral us, two large ships of war.
Being uncertain as to what they were, we continued
our course until a quarter past three in the morning,
when we perceived a-bead of us the_isles of St.
Marcouf, which we had some difficulty in doubling.
We were then obliged to tack, and this made us
fall in with the two enemy's ship, broadside to
broadside. We exchanged broadsides in passing,
without his Majesty's frigates having received any
damage.
As I knew that the enemy's division was corn-
.posed of ships and frigateS, t did not think it right to
risk an e..gagernent during the night with these ves-
sels, which might be readily assisted by others, and
we waited for day-light, anchoring about fonr in the
morning, under the isles of St. Marcouf. At eleven
we got under weigh, and continuedluding until three
in the afh.rnoon, without lx•ing able to double Bar-
`ifenr. Upon th.s,l determined to come to •anchor
oft La Hogue. Theeneml's ships, ‘&111e1t I disco-
vered to be' frigates, racked at the distance of two
leagues, but the south-east winds, which blew very
fresh, prevented me from getting under sail.
On the night of the 13:h or 14th, the wind be-
tame stormy, and continued so all -,the morning,
up.n • which we :were forted to ply out a great
length of cable, and L'Elisa, baying driven on
anchors,. was compelled 16 strike her trilsts and to
lighten herself, that she might not be wrecked on
the, rocks. . •

On the t sth, the wind havincr-claauged to W. S.
W. two vessels of the line andP two friptes stood in
to'rittack us. At ten, the first frigate' brought her
pins to bear upon us at the distance of tuo musket
stiois, but wereplied to her in such a manner, that
she put about at the first broadside, and stood away
to repair the damage she had sustained.
Aficr the first -broadside the two ships and the
other frigate engaged us until a quarter past one.
Their fire was answered so ,vigorously by his M.
jesty's frigates ant by the forts, that these snips stood
otf, and anchored at the distance of two or three
cannon shots from us, towards the S. E.

In the n.ght between the 15th and t6th, some
boats were rowed from the enemy's ships, to throw
rockets on us, but,l drove them back by the Ore 01
our guns. I feel it my, duty to give equal praise to
the Captain of L'Eliza, and the officers and crew un-
der my command. We had only one man killed and
another wounded

Since the 17th, until this day, the storm prevented
us from getting under weigh, and it was al•ro ne-
cessary to replace the essential articles which L' Eliza
had been forced to throw overboard, and the con-
,eyance of which the bad weather had retarde .
Yesterday, Yesterday, that frigate being perfe9ly safe, I de-
tlmined to get under weigh in the night with
L A inazoi,e, though the enemy's ships were anchored
at less I han a league and a half from us.' I pas•-ed
at a little &splice from them, without being p,-r-
-ceived, and I entered Atli% morning the port of Ha-
vre. During my stay at La Hogue, 'the Caprtaines
de Fregate Lecolier and• Drouart, and AI-. Francine-
vale, principal Commissary of Cherbourg, wet,- of
great service to me, both in person, and by the as-
sistance which they sent me.
' I am, &c. RUUSSEAU.

The alterations and improvements in the apart-
ments of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cu aasEa-
LAND, in St. James's Palace, are now in as state of
great forwardness. All the cl4k closets and anti-
rooms, contiguous to his late' bed-chamber,-are re-
moved: the space is now occupied by one room
only, which forms a magnificent apartment—the
proportions being 32 feet by 24 his here the
Duke will sleep. The wads are now ornamenting
in a very unique and elegant style, agreeable to his
Highness's own taste. This room will communi-.,
cate, by melns of folding doors, acting npom sym-
pathetic hinges, with a range of apartments, forming
a suite, extending in length upwards of 130 feet :
there are six in the whole. There are some rooms
added to the heretofore aecolituodations. Two
months, it is supposed, from tfiq present time, will
complete the improvement, and during that period
the Duke will continue to reside at Califon House.

The last Gibraltar Paper states a dreadful, but ne-
cessary instance of retaliation, on the part of the
Spanish patriots, in the Mountains of 'Malaga. it
Occurred at, Benamargosa=t,vhere, in 'revenge- for
the murder of I 4 of their men,- who had been sur-
prised and put to death by the enemy, the patriots
hanged 28 hind shot,2, being the whole of a French
partywhidh-had fallen two their hands.
We were mistaken in Staring that Sir DAVID and
Lady WEDDE gIiURN were present at the mairiage
of Mr. WEDDERBURN WEB..TER, at Lady FaANcts
CONNOLLY'S. They are at present at their house in
Norfolk, in deep affliction for the loss of a son.

At a period of the year when Asthma, Wheezing,
and Winter Cough, prevail, the to lowing informa-
tion may not be unexceptionable to.maily of our
readers :---,Surgeon Fisher has just published a trea
tise on the causes of. these diseases of the lungs, in
which he satisfactorily proves, from a very extensive
practice that the prepared Stramonium Herb is the
only remedy that has succeeded in affording eirec-
tnal and permanent relief. The fume, says he, by
reaching the seat of the diseases, almost iiilmediately
allays ,the increased irritation of the lining of the
wind-pipe and lungs, and thus ,effectually removes.
the cause of these diseases, While the oxytnel.of the
herb, by protirting expectoration and improving the.
general' health of the patient, as effectually prevents
their return, even in the most obstinate • cases.----
These preparations, we are happy to say, miiy ae
obtained with directions, of MessrS, poster and
Co. 34, Parliament-street ; Harris, corner of St.
Paul's Church-yard ; and Mr. Butt's, No. 10, :Ber-
ners-street.
