GOTTENBUROH, AUGUST 1.
" On the 29th tilt. a dreadful fire broke out in the
town of Udderwalla, about fifty Englifh miles from
hence, which,io a Ihort time,reduced the whole town,
together with the &Kenai, tar wharfs, iron work,
&c. &c. to albes: not a tingle houfe remains: upwards
of 4000 inhabitants were burnt out, whole clatters is
beyond defcription—what adds to it is, that 15,000
dozen of deals, with which they might have ereeed
temporary habitations, were dekroyed in the fire.—
Very liberal fubfcriptions have been entered ihto here
for their affiaance.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
EXTRACT 01 A LATTER FROM GOTTEMBURGH, DATED
♦UGUST 1, 1806:

61 We are extremely ferry to apprize you of a
moR dreadful fire. Wednefday !aft a letter was re-
ceived at the Pot! Office from the Pc& Matter at
Udderwalla, mentioning briefly—" This I write
" in the open air,":ut half a °wadi& mile out of
61 Udderwalla. Every hoofs in that town is on
61 fire.—agth July." You may afar imagine the
fenfation here at furl a moment —we would not be•
lieee it poffible that the murk town could be costumed
at a time. In the mean time, it is really tot and
from Come people of this town, who had been at Ud-
derwalla during the accident, we have heard Come
particulars, which are really °tacking. Such a furious
fire, we dare fay. has hardly been heard of : the
people worked with all imaginable courage, but the
fire fpicading rtpidly, and being carried by the wind
to different parts of the town, by which means it burnt
at feveral points at • time, and the Bridges acrofs
the Orals likewife being burnt, the communication
was totally cut off, and thus the people prevented from
working with fuecefs. Some buildings, anEngliflt mile
out of town, have been even burnt by fire, carried by
the wind. In °tort, there are only four or five (mall
buildings Caved, all the town is gone, the Church, Iron
Wharf, Deal yard, with about tpooo doz. Boards, the 1
Tar Yard, Rope Work, are goes; tad about
soon People are now in the open air (without pro-
vifion.) watching the poor remains of theirtnoveables.
The lituation is above all imagination. A cargo of
proviflons have been fent off by the merchants of
Gottenburgh ter the relief of the fufferers—but where
to houfe them ? We fear nearly every merchant at
Udderwalla will be totally ruined by this accident—
Inch an enormous quantity of goods are burnt."

GOTTENBURGH, AUGUST 4.
" Yefferday arrived the Ferretter gun brig. with
