This forenoon, Mr. DRAFFAN, a Kißg's Messenger,
arrived at the Admiralty and Colonial Office, with dis-
patches from Sir FREDERIC ADANI, at Corfu, daied
the 26th of November.

Dispatches were received yesterday from New Bruns-
wick and Bermuda, but they contain no news of im
portance.

By the arrival of the Marchioness of Salisbury
packet, at Falmouth, a Leeward Island Mail has been
received, with letters and papers to the 9th ult. but they
contain nothing of importance. The packet brings
Dispatches to Government from Trinidad of the 31st
of October, and Antigua of the 4th of November.

Accounts have been received from Singapore, three
days later than previous arrivals, but they are not imp
portant.

Just as our Paper -was going to press, we received
the Moniteur of Saturday, and the (.toile of yesterday,
by Express, together with a private letter from our
Correspondent, in which we are sorry to find that the
destruction by the inundations of the Neva are stated to
be much greater than the papers represent-5,000
persons are said to have perished. The Moniteur copies
the articles from Lisbon, on the organization of the
three States, but contains no news that had not been
anticipated by other arrivals. The Etoile contains
nothing important. The following is the letter.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.
" Putts, Littman. 11.

" A letter just received from St. Petersburgh, states
the late inundations of the Neva to be of a much moral
dreadful nature than has been represented in the public I
prints. Instead of 1500 lives that were said to have
been lost, upwards of 5000 persons perished. The Ar-
senal and several public buildings on the banks of the
river, were entirely overflown, and the water rose to
the height of 25 feet in the lower part of the town. Ac-
cording to the writer of this letter, nothing could ex-
ceed the alarming fury of tne waves. The whole city
was at one time under water, and everything in the
lower stories of the houses has been totally destroyed."
French Runes, Saturday, 102 f. 35c.

The French Papers contain further particulars of the
inundations at St. Petersburgh, of which we have given
an account in a preceding column. The whole of the'
lower town was inundated at once, there being ten feet
water in most of the streets, and five feet in the most
elevated places.• Almost all the Magazines were de-
sti oyed, and the number of lives said to have been lost
was computed, but we trust hastily and erroneously, at
fifteen hundred! All the bridges had been carried off,
the communications between the different parts of the
City were interrupted, and all business had ceased.
The intelligence from Madrid announces that every
preparation had been made for " the general movement
of the French troops to cross the frontier."

of the Tuileries, in one of the rooms next to the apart-
menu of the rust Gentleman of the King's Bed Chain.
her. It was subdued in little more an hour, without
causing much damage.
It is stated, io a private letter from Paris of Saturday,'
that the French Government has not only renewed the,
Inegotiations with iayti, but that they are on the eve of
making a formal renunciation of all the claims of the.
