RAMSGATE, DP.CEMBER 27.
We last evening had such a severe and painful con-
fusion at our harbom's mouth as we have rarely wit-
nessed, owing to several vessels making for the har-
bour before there was water in—it seems they were
induced so to do as it was finning dark, with every
appearance of an increasing gale. The consequence
was, they lay knocking about at the entrance of she
harbour in a most destructive way, till the flowing of
the tide enabled them to pet safely moored. Nine
Dover vessels, hired on treight, with troops from
Calais, were of the number ; say the Dart, with los;
of mast; Peggy, Ant, Poll, and Industry, main-stay
gone; Lady Jane, loss of gaff and bowsprit, and sides
much damaged; Countess of Elgin, lost boom, and
stern stove in ; Elizabeth, sides very much damaged ;
and Princess Augusta, with loss of gat; and stern
stove in—these freight vessels had about 1100 men en
board, belonging to the Cosh, :;:ith, and 41st Regi-
ments of moat, and fifty horses of the InniskiPing
Dragoons, several of which had perNied on t!le p.ts-
:.age, and others were much maimed, as the vessels
were not fitted up in a proper stay to receive them oa
• board, which has been the case with almost all the
**seek landing hor,es lose lately. Two soldiers were
unhappily drowned, and one crushed to death bet.yeett
a vessel and the pier, entirely owing to ths:;r i.npa-
tience to get up the w:st head, unda an rd• that
they were in danger on board, as they lay at the har-
bour's ntouth, and other vessels coming in at the
stern of thew; but tf-no danger was cuapiiratively
none, it the poor fellows could only have been ptr-
studed to it. although the si,..ht was certainly awful.
1 f alf the men were lauded last night, and the others
this morning. They hare been matched ofi; to Dover,
Deal. Canterbury, and Margate.

The Duke and Duchess of Mowrnose left town 1
yesterday, on a visit to the Marvis and Marchioness
CAMDEN, at their seat the Wilderness, Kent.

The Hon. Mr. BRAND, M. P. for Hertfordshire,

ducing the land to about 16s. per acre.
Extract of a letter from Pais, dated Dee. 22t—
" LAVALETTE'S escape engrosses all the conversa.
tion. As might be expected, the general rumour is,
that it was effected with the ter:iv:me: of Gt.:lemming ;
but as there is no moving a step wit!qout passports,
time may remove suspicion. Immediately the escape
became known, which circulated rapidly from the
circumstance of the barriers being shut, and no one
allowed to pass without the strictest scrutiny, Paris
was in the greatest surprise ; and from these precau.
tinns it was rather absurdly concluded that the crimi-
nal was known to be still withia the city. The mi-
litary before complained of the delay, that took place
in executing the sentence of the law upon LAVA.
LETTE, but they are now more dissatisfied t they say,
that civil officers are to sin with impunity, but that
the soldiery, who are called upon to obey the cora.
mands of Government, are alone to be punished—
that the military alone are to be degraded. It is
believed that our tionps call not quit Paris so soon as
was expected, perhaps not this month.
" The South of France is not yet tranquil. At
Alais, in the department of the Gard, it was wisked
to destroy the temple of the Protestants, but this act
of 'fury was prevented from being carried into execu-

to shut up their Temple, and to renounce their war.

of the Vaucluse repaired on the sth of this month to
Carpentras, for the purpose of setting at liberty a
number of persons in custody on accouia of opinions.
On his return to Avignon. the people testified their
discontent. The Prefect ordered one of the instiga-
