Eit'rect of a Letter &rim the Count ae Limo-
tbraris', Minister of Foreign Affairs toKing
HENtOr of LIA.vTr, to a Gentleman in London,
dated Cape tlenry, 14th September, 1818.
take thi4 opportunity to info'rm you
of the accident Which befell Fort Henry, on the
25th of August la‘st. A flash of lightning, which,
abotit four in the afternoon, followed a violent
storm, caused the expldsion of a depot contain-
ing ca'rtridges and powder. Many of the build-
ings of 'the interior, and of the citadel, with which
the fire -cOMmunicated, were shaken.
r 4 On 'the first intimation of thiS accident, his I!
Majesty repaired to the spot with his usual cele-1
rity, attended by the officerS of his Staff. He was
if mediately folloWed by the household troops,
the troops of the garriion, and the neighbour.:
iug inhabitants. Thanks to their zeal, thanks tol
his najesty, who threw himself into the citadel in

the midst of the flames, and whose example being
followed by his fellow--citizeni:, they at length
succeeded in getting the fire under, and preserving
the other buildings.

" The powder magazines, the military stores,l
and the vaulted batteries, which are bomb-proof,
have not sustained the slightest injury. In short,
the citadel remains in its former state of defence.
The worst effect of the explosion was that the
crown work became exposed in consequence of it. 10
This inconvenience can be easily remedied, and;
measures were immediately taken for that pur-
pose; but what distressed and afflicted his Majesty
most, was the deplorable loss •of his "hrorhei-in-$
law, the Prince Noele, Duke of Port de Pais. Go-
vernor of the citadel, and of a part of :he officers
and soldiers of the garrison whO also perished.
" We have to regret the loss of 159 prraot)s,
as wi ll mitirarylnen as private individuals, who
exerted themselves 't.o quell the flames, and met so
dreadful a death by this mtlancholy accident.
" The bOdy of the Prince was dep.osited at Sans
Sonci, and his MajrstY Will at least have Ihr
inriurnful consolation of committing his remains
to the sepulchre.

" As I entertain no doubt of the interest von
will take in this event, and of your affection lot
the King, 1 was anxious to inlortn you of these
particulms.

" For the rest, his Majesty is as wen as could
he expected under such distressing circumstances.
Flis lofty character and firmness do not abandon
him. He has no need of. them to support hi•
present doubles, those of the QUeen,.and of his
family,. because the Prince, the object of their
regret, merited their affection by those splendid
and amiable qualities which made him belove
by all.

" I request that you will communicate these
melancholy details to our common friends, for the
purpose of obviating the &Ise reports which our
enemies will not fail to spread upoti this occasion.
" I hare the honour to be,
" With the highest respect and most sincere friendship,.
" Your affectionate Servant,
" DE LIMONADE."

Mr. MILLARD'S IMPERIAL PATENT TWINE
CLOTH.—We understand this Cloth, which is users
for a vatirty of family purposes, but plinCipally.i'
instead of Irish Linen, is found to be of the moss )r,
beneficial service to the inhabitants of all hot di-
mates, from its natural tondociveness to the pro-
motion of health ; its effects to the wearer there
(as well as to those who require of prefer a
warmer,articla than linen, in the more northerly,
cold and dap atmospheres) being to protect the
flame front the effects of the climate, and at the
same time a very economical article to those
adopting its use. From experience of its sin-
gular utility, both in the East and West Indies,
in preserving the perspirative faculties of the sys-
tetu io its regular healthful stiye,'a conclusion has
been very rationally drawn, that if it was gene-,.4
rally adopted, the cases of fatal fevers in those'.:
climates would be greatly diminished, ss nothing
is more true, than that by the circulation of the
blood a variety of useless. and itijurious juices
are thrown off through the pores by perspiration ;
if these are obstructed, no matter from what cause,
or in what climate, and thrown back on the f
blood, fevers of the worst kind, or other ma-
ladies, must ensue. The wear of this cloth is
found to promote and protect this necessary source
of health: hence arises its value, and would In '4l
most desirable, even if it were not an article or
such economy as it is. We learn the Patewee
is manailacturing a very thick and strong number 1
of this cloth entirely for the benefit of the work-
ing classes, which is to be sold at the low pi,.
of eighteen pence per yard. To the laborious
who are exposed to the extremes of Acessi,t
heat and Euthleti cold, it is presumed it will be nt
unetinalled utility, for while it will save their
limited fonds it will be a means of protecting th:4-
strength on ntich their support depends.— I:
The plan adopted by the Patentee of siipplyiiiL
Country orders, free of carriage, direct and aloft-
from.his own establishment for the sale of it q'
No: 16, Cu RAPSI7as, _was determined on in pre
ference to incurring the expence of venloy it
agents, &c. by Which .he is enabled to render
cheaper in all its numbers than could wherwi,
be done, and at the same time those thus sendii.
their orders direct -tra the Patentee, will be as
surer, they cannot be deceived
