The weather har been very tremendous all over.
Leiceflerlbire, Warwieldhite, and Lama(hire, where'
it has been felt in an awfol:maither. There has been
within thee laff few days moll dreadful thunder and
lightning, betides blowing a bUrricane, ana torrents,
of fain conliantly falling. The iohabltants in that
part of England have been much alarmed by fuck
unufual weather. Many'. villages about Litchfield
are entirely under water, and the diffract of the poor
are very great in confequence of it. The road be-
tween Litchfield and Stone is in many places filled
with water for Soo yards together, and all the way
up to the bellies of the horfes that are travelling
through it. In other refpeas the weather is fo tad
4nd warm, that at a village near Lucefter there is
an apple tree in fall bloom ; and at Litchfield, a
gentleman,, hit week, prodneed green peafe on his
table, out of his garden, in high perfellion, that were
railed in the open ground. Cauliflowers bays keen

evening, and continued alnioli a hurricane during a
great part of the night. The tide yefierdiy Morning
rote nearly as high as the remarkable tide in January
1796, and, till the wind chopped round, confiders-
ble apprehenfions were entertained for the fafety of
the goods in the warchoufes at the well and call
