FLT3SHINS, JANUARY 17.

At one o'clock on the morning of the 1,,,
tide rose over the quays, and being thive2:7l
lent wind, poured in torrents through all ti.: I
of the lower town—the inundation was le
to have attained great height before it was
and many had scarcely time to remove their
out of bed to a place of
.greater safety. 4
half an hour, the water in many places was
deep, and, in the lower streets, more thas
that in some low houses the inhabitants
save themselves on the roofs.
With how much rapidity the water ad
appear from the following instance : In
straat, a woman was found drowned, lye
of bed, with her youngest child in her fit:
eldest child *was likewise out of bed, baac
quence, no doubt, of the rapid rise of the watts
were all three found lifeless.
At the break of day the wind abated, and
ter decreasing with the ebb, the water left tilt
on the town quay, but it still continued is de
parts of the town, and was of a very •
depth till the following day. Many petunia%
and other small vessels, then conveyed Kee
supplies of provisions and water to the'
the upper stories, and on the tops of the haft
The water on the vineyard quay, at the
of provisions of the French empire, nude I
breach, through which beams of ship titbit
driven with so much violence, that they tread,
maged and endangered several houses, and

threw down others, causing the death ofiesed,
sons. A great number of horses, and cattle oil
in the stalls of the dealers, were drowned. Th
lamity was still more aggravated by of:l:istn.
which rendered it necessary, as long as the
ed, and no rain fell, to fetch rain water from IN
bourgh, what fresh water they before had Will
spoiled by the salt water.
Twenty-nine persons, who lost their lives e
occtsion, have been buried at the menet °Ethel
and subscriptions have been opened for fiend
