HELIGCLAND, JULY 13.

A dreadful fire broke out in this island last night,
in the Lower Town, which consumed eleven large
store warehouses. The warehouses are so close toge-
ther, that it is wonderful the whole town was not de-
stroyed ; and had not thi wind been N.W. it is very
probable that not a house would have escaped. The
fire broke out about twelve o'clock at night, and not-
withstanding the greatest exertions of the military
and inhabitants, was not subdued till four in the
morning. A Gentleman who has just arrived from
Hamburgh informs us, that a very severe sickness
prevails in that city, and that almost every person
who has left it has been, in some degree, affected by
it. There are now about 2000 French sick, who
walk about the city, to the great distress and annoy-
ance of the inhabitants, and who look for their de.
parture with the most anxious impatience. The Se-
nate are using all possible endeavours to purify the
streets and burn the horrid filth which abounds
throughout the city, and which in some places are
several yards in height and many yards in circumfe-
rence, of so shocking a kind, that the inhabitants are
afraid to pass near them. Trade is quite at a stand.
Tke markets are overstocked, and ruin will inevitably
follow. Goods are selling at 35 per cent. loss, And
they are consequently in a very unpleasant situation.
Indeed, Hamburgh is in a lamentable state at this
•whosncut:• Ttw people there complain bitterly that
the bttgs of viar should remain so long on a friendly
river, thellbe.

We have received Paris Papers of Monday : after
a long interval, BONAPARTL'S name once more ap-
pears before the public, as sending a Guard of Polish
Lancers to attend the Archduchess MARIA Louisa
at Parma. Her Highness or some person in her
name, ordered them to decamp immediately : this
does not look like any approximation between the
Emperor of Elba and his Empress. Indeed it is now
plainly stated, that she is to return to Vienna without
visiting Parma at all : were these Polish Lancers sent
to kidnap her ? No person who knows any thing of
Botrarawrz, can doubt it. While he lives his inven-
tion will be ever and anon on the alert to disturb the

of Europe.

We have heard it asserted, but we trust it is not
true, that an English frigate (the same, we believe,
which conveyed the fallen Hero to Elba) has been
lent for the purpose of fetching the Ex-EmPnzss and

her Son from Njce, where they were expected to em-
bark. This reconciliation would give him Parma
and Placentia, in addition to Elba, as a stock to re.
commence the "sanguinary traffic in which he and his
followers delight. Let us hope, however, that the
French Papers speak from authority wheu they assure
us that MARIA LOUISA returns to. Vienna.

The ptiva.e letters from Paris, and the report of
all the best-informed people who have lately visited
that capital, concur in stating, that the French in
general feel very sore at the result of the late long-
protracted struggle. Even those who see the financial
ruin which NAPOLEON'S plans were bringing upon
the nation, and who cannot but admit, even had the
Tyrant succeeded in driving back the Allies, that
the unwieldy machine he was occupied in construct-
ing must, at no vary distant petiod, have fallen to
pieces by its own weight—even these men are so
stung by the degradation which has been brought
upon France, that many of them would hazard their
very existence as a people, for the mere chance of
expiring with glory.
As in spite of all the efrorts of casuistry the mis•
carriage of NAPOLEON involves in it the character of
his adherents—which, from some defect in their rea-
soning, they confound with that of the nation ; they
are anxious to find some foreign cause on which to fix
the blame. In such a frame of mind they vent their
indignation upon Austria, whose Ruler having given
his daughter to NaPor.aom, they seem to consider as
having been thereby bound to give him also his finan-
ces, his people, his sovereignty, his life f if required,
for the glory cf the great nation !
In such a humour it is not surprising that in every
company where national disgrace becomes the theme,
they should be loud in their execrations of that
Power. All discretion forsakes them when this be-
comes the topic. They forget so completely for the
Moment that their wan; are annihilated, that any one
present would be apt to conclude, when the company
breaks up, it is only for the purpose of marching to
Vienna 1 !

True it is that this may be considered as mere fever,
but in a delirium, no matter how occasioned, the pa-
tient often commits mischief. The rancour which
now unreasonably animates the French against Au-
stria, if not counteracted by the persevering efforts
of the more sober-minded among them, wino it is

. .
probable, burr/ on a war 13etsiiit these Powers, and
again deluge Europe it blood: Let all good mei
men themselves, every one in His 'sphere, to avert :6
great an evil, by speaking and acting as becomes the
friendi of humanity.
