ABERDEEN, MARCH 14.

On Sunday lad a hard gale came on from the
northward, which in the night veered to N.E. and
increafed to one of the molt tremendous trotms we
have yet had occarion to mention. Many veifels were
driven to the fouthward, fome of which got into the
Frith of Forth, and others, having kept to fea, wear.
thered the ftorm, which abated in the courle Gf the
day. Fortunately we have heard of nn accident on
this part of the coafl, but are lorry to (late fom. lofFes
to the northward. The limp Beatilcy of Invernets,
from the Bay of Avoch to the F.t,h, with gra;n,
was totally wrecked, and the crew drowned, nerr
Maeda.; where the fea ran fa high in harbour,
that a new !nail building was thrown off the licks,
and very confiderably damaged. The bri7,antinc,
Difpatch, of Peterhead. from Ireland, in coming
through the Pentland Frith. being unable to clear
Duncans-bay Head, was driven alhore near that
place, and Peen in a very perilunc foliation.
The brig Don, Nloets3N, if Aberdeen, frnm the
Forth to London with grain, is put into Sunderland
with the lots of her fails, Sec. and fo touch damaged
by ftriking on the bar, as to be obliged to urioaL:.
The briganti:re Ceres, ALLAN, of thii place, ,a.hi.:ll
failed in ballafl from the Thames to S,.ir...tztland,
about the 15th ult. has not (ince been heard or, and
is fuppofed to have foundered at fea, in the fatal
storm of the 18111.

" The day of the National Fad was a fatal day to
the Finny Tribe in Ythan. As far a, the river vas
cleared of the ice by the tide, fo far WO e the Trouts
(mothered by the fnow, many cart loa Is being c t-
ithed by the country people and fifhers at Newly', g)11
for days after the florm, upon the reflux of the tiov.
One falmon was only feen dead ; but as the gra.tte ,
proportion of the fills killed may have gone ,o t
with the ebbs, many more of them probahly hay •
been killed likewift. The water ber•ing rendere 1
thick by the drifted fnow, and of courte unfuitalr/ •
to the affirm of the gills of the fith, had perhaps been
the caufe of this very extraordinary circrimltance.
" P. S. Many of the fill exceeded 61b. weight,
and were generally Red Trout, of excellent valit y."

For the happinefs of the world, Bonaparte's /cr.-

nefs of a contiderable number of individuals in this
country, new and large fortunes mill he fpeedily in
their poireflion. It is fufficient only to infpecl the
prefent State Lottery Scheme—the aloft abundant,
indifputably, in capital prizes ever yet iifired, to Le

There cannot he conceived a rare ample criterion
of the refined Wit of a country,• and its profound
refpea for the arts, than the avidity with which the
Tickets in BowyFlt'S Hitl-ric Lottery Are ptirchafed
by all clair:.s of people. But when we rrilca that,
exclufive of the grand prize .:f Ten Thouland Poun&,
there are no lets than jr*uriten Autiti.:.l other capital

that trifling fum of Three Guineas; and that fh uld
a purchafet be to very unfortunate to coifs as the
Capitals, he wil! fill be certain of come i raze Ce11..l
in eflimation to the money paid : When we refi:a
fo many circumflances in favour of ore pubLc,
do not wonder that orders for thole Tickets (11.2;110...
