COLOGNE, Nona 18.

In the night of the 13th we had a violent storm friri%
the southeast, which continued till seven o'clock in the
morning, the vessels which are rarely exposed to hum.
canes from that quarter, were in very great danger,
and nothing less than the extraordinary efforts thAt
were made could have prevented very considerable d
mage. More than twelve large Dutch vessels, most (.1
them laden, broke loose from their moorings, and seve.
ral of them were more or less damaged. Some vessels
laden with fruit were stranded, and some others with
charcoal were said to be sunk.

The Rhine, the waters of which have been very low
for these three months, begins to rise again.
According to recent accounts from Greece, in the
Jonrnal of Rome, the National Assembly continued its
sittings. IBRAHIM is shut np in Tripolitzs, and he has
refused to consult with the Captain Pacha on the plan
of a new campaign. The advantages which KARA'S.
[AM and FAnvl!Jt had gained, as welt as the raising
of the siege of Athens, are fully confirmed. The
Turkish fleet has lost two corvettes and eleven
transports, in another attack on the Island of Samos.
The Egyptian troops in Navarino and Modon, are
without provisions.
We have received Dutch and Brussels Papers to the
23d inst. The KING'S birth-day had been kept with
great marks of respect and attachment on the 18th._
Intelligence had arrived from Batavia of a very late
date, the 18th of August, but its nature was not favour•
able. A fire had broken out in that city on the 9th of
July, which had consumed 180 houses, and, it was
feared, two young children. A surprising degree of
cold had also been experienced at that place. The
thermometer, which is generally at 86 deg. was down
for nine whole days in the beginning of July at 54 deg.
which had never happened before. Two armed steam.
boats were expected from the Netherlands, by the means
of which it was hoped that piracy in the Indian Seas
would be entirely repressed. The Rebels had obtained

some successes in the interior of Java. They had sur-
prised a detachment of a Netherland troops, with some
Princes of Djockjo,their allies, and both had been made
prisoners of war. Indeed, the want of reinforcements
from Europe was so severely felt, that the very pos-
session of the island was endangered by the delay in
their arrival.
With respect to the disorder at Groningen, it began
slowly to decrease and to lose its envenomed character.
Several steam-boats were building at Frankfort, the
boilers and wheels of which were not to be in the same
vessel with the passengers and goods ; but in order to
prevent the possibility of accidents to the company, in
a separate ship by which the other was to be towed:
These Papers contain intelligence from Napoli di
Romania to the 9th of October. Whilst the Greek re-
gular troops had retired to Salamis, the Turks endea-
voured to obtain possession of the Acropolis, and finding
that their bombardment from below produced but little
effect, made six successive and desperate atttacks on the
comparatively low wall which runs before the Pro
pyltea. In all of these we are rejoiced to fiad, they
were gallantly repulsed by the garrison, who, film the
advantageous nature of the ground, killed large uom-
bers of the enemy, without losing. proportionately on
their side. These storming. occupied four whole Jays,
from the 14th to the 18th of September. The bodies
of the slain having been left on the field of battle by the
Turks, who feared to come under the fire of the Acta
polis, the stench grew so intolerable that the garrison
sent a request to KARAISEAKI and FAISVIER to make
some offensive demonstrations, in order to draw the
Turks off to some distance, that in the meantime the
rights of sepulture might be bestowed. KARAISKAKI
had immediately passed over to Eleusis, but the result
of the movement was not known.
