the regiment of Cancan has not an officer of tried valour ; they
are a corps of Mufeadins, who think of nothing but of well
clothes and fine feathers. This Is not the Spanifh Infantry of Can

Rear Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane, K. B. in

on Tuefday evening, for 'frinilad.
[the following is a more copious account of the
difaltrous (late of the Wand of Dominica than that
which appeared in our paper of Wednefday laft.]
" A molt melancholy and diareffing account has
been this morning received from Dominica. of the
fatal effeas thereof a revere gale of wind, and inun.
d iiinn of the town of Rofeau, on the 9th inßant.
There had been a heavy fall of rain for fereral days
previous, which continued without any intermit on
on the 9th, when about midnight the gale commenced
and blew with great violence for near four hours
from the N. W. during which time the river to lee-
ward of the town broke down its banks in feveral
different places at the fame moment, and in dreadful
torrents ruled through the town, fweeping into the
tea with irrelillible farce, every thing an its way.—
About two thirds of the town, chiefly, however, the
roarer houfes, are computed to have been waled
away, and nearly too perfons are fuppofed to have
periled by this unfortunate calamity ; while the
power of the gale was not lefs fatal to the Blipping,
eleven out of twelve velTels then there having been
driven afhore and entirely loft. The effeas of the
liorm have been almon equally dreadful throughout
the country, many elates not having a houfe (lan-
ding, and their crops materially injured, and like-
wife 101 l a number of negroes. The Barracks and
hofpital on Marne Bruce, fell in during the form, by
which a number of foldiers were killed and wounded.
Upon the whole, the fate of the ifland is repretented
as molt diftreffing ; and when we tellat upon the
repeated fufferings, from the enemy as well as the
element's, of that ill fated but loyal colony, we can-
not but deplore their tones, and commiferate their
misfortunes.

" This hurricane, it is thought, has been very re-
vere among all the Mods to leeward ; it was par.
tially felt here, without doing any damage. At Mar-
tinique, feventeen veffels were driven albore, fifteras
of which are entirely loft : and at Guadaloupe, a con.
fiderable number are fAid to have been wrecked.!'
