The Duchess of BOURBON, whose death is men-
tioned in the French Papers, was of the Orleans fa-
mily, being aunt to the present Duke. She was born in
the year 1750, and was mart ied to the Duke of Boult•
BON in 1770. Their only issue was the late unfortunate
Duke d'ENottEIN. The Duke of BOURBON, on the
death of his father, the Prince of CONDE, who died
since the testoration, did not assume the title, saying,
with great modesty, that he did not think himself
worthy of being the last of the CONDV?.
Last week a circumstance occurred near Broad-
street, St. Giles's, which de,erves to be recorded. A
poor family, who had been in arrear for rent, had a
distress put into the house, while they were all turned
into the street, although the poor woman had only
been confined twelve days. A mob was soon col-
lected round the door, and who, when acquainted
'with the circumstances, were loud in their expressions
of indignation at the unfeeling landlord. Fortunately
for the poor family, Dr. BRODUM was passing at the
time. He inquired of the wretched woman the cause
of her distress, and immediately prevented the Broker
from removing the F.:rads, by settling his demand
to the amount of T 3. 17s. 6d. He by this means
restored the poor family to their house, and giving
them a sovereign, left them in ignotance of the name
of their generous benefactor, until informed of it by
some person to whom the worthy Doctor was known,
Every day brings to LLOYD'S the fatal effects of
the late gales of wind, which appear to have extended
themselves to every coast of Europe. Letters from
Les Sables, of the 30th ult. state, that the coast for
thirty leagues is coveted with wrecked vessels and
parts of their cargoes, consisting of pepper, coffee,
oranges, nuts, elephant teeth, Dutch cheese, soap,
north country timber ; in short, almost every
.article
of commerce is strewed on the beach. From li.:ur-
deaux, the Isle of Rhe, It ichel le, &c. letters, dated the
4th inst. contain accounts equally disastrou. A letter
has been received from Lisbon, of the 26th Decem-
ber, which states, that neither the post from Spain,
nor from any part of Portugal had art ived, in con-
sequence of the inundations and tempestuous wea-
ther ; and that, ou the 2 tth and 25th of D.cceinher,
it had blown the most violent strn.m ever remembered.
Great damage had been done in the River, and many
vessels had been driven front their mornings. His
Majesty's. packet, the Duke of Kent, had been de-
tained by the stormy weather, with tle Nina of the
22d ult. on board, and her art ival is anxiously looked
tor, with later. advice* of the xffecta of the storm
upon dr coast.
