They write from Oudo:narde on the 3.3, wh tt fol-

not subsided for these duce days. The Si.helit is at
the height of 16 feet at Oudenarde ; our rich and
beautiful meadows are partly inundated; the grass
which is not mown will tit in the water. and that
which was already mown has been carried off by the
current. Hay has risen 100 per cent. The hail also
had c..used great r +rages in the communes of Iler.

most abundant, has been. totally ruined. The g

HAGUE, AUGUST 6.
We learn that Prince Frederick arrived yesterday
at the Chateau of Loo, which is situated in the pro-
vince of Guelderlend, three leagues from Deventer.
We received a supply of American Papers this
morning, brought by the Canton, the arrival of
which we noticed on Saturday. FroM these we have
given some extracts. We stated that the American
ship Romp had been suspected of committing piracy,
in taking a Spanish vessel off Cadiz; and chewing
papers purporting that the ship (R,M7p) was a priva-
teer from Buenos Ayres. New Yurk Papers to the
17th ult. received this mornings mention that eight
of the Officers and crew had been committed to.thel
Richmond Penitentiary, to take their trial ; three or
four of the crew, and even the accusers are confined
in separate apartments. From what has transpired,
it would appear that the Romp cleared from Balti-
more as an American trader to Buenos Ayres ; but
as soon as she proceiled to sea she hoisted the patriot
colours, and chewed papers as if she had cleared from
the River Plate. She then sailed on a predatory ei•
pedition off Spain and Portugal, and had committed
several acts.of piracy in plundering Spanish and Por-
tuguese merchantmen.
A violent hurricane had been experienced in lat.
96.5. off Cape Florida, in the Gulf of Mexico, and
supposed to have done much damage. Several yes-
sets had arrived in the southern ports of the United
States, in distress. The hurricane took place aboul
the 6th June, the gale was from E.N.E.
• NEW YORK, JULY 17.
We learn from Captain Tyler, who arrived here
yesterday morning in eleven dayifrom the Havannah,
that on the 24th June an embargo was laid an all
shipping in that port, to continue for 25 days. At the
expiration of three days it was iaieed, in as tar as te-
gardsAmerican vessels ; tiley were permitted to dcp art
—This measore bad been resorted to in conseque,ce
of recent depredations committed on the Spanish
• aammeree by Carthageoien privateers. When Captain
Tyler sailed, there were 30 sail then off Havanna-a,
which had taken seven or eight vessels, and burnt
them. There was a Spanish frigate in port, but not
in a condition to meet an enemy. Captain Tyler
also informs that the new Governor had arrayed at
liavannah.
On the 4th inst. the 40th anniversary of our Inde-
pendence was celebrated with the most pleasing sa-
tisfaction. The appearance of the military was truly
brilliant ; and the procession of the different Societies,
with the 71, in miniature, interested the feelings of
thousands of spectators from all quarters of the city
aNd country. The vessels in the harbour, including
the French frigate E.ityilite, were handsom-ly
dressed with the flys ut t:.e different nations. In
thort, the whole display, the fe jag ofssates,utes, Sing-
ing of bells. and the entertaintaents at our pohlic
gardens, the fire-works, !cc. in the evening, all con.
tributed to heighten the joy of the day. About noon,
after firing a salute, the frigate Eurydice sailed for
France, with a fine breeze from N.N. W. .
Captain Putnam, of the brig Alice, lately ar-
rived at S den:, informs, that there were off Cadiz
duet Patriot p:ifateers, from Buenos Ayres—athey
had captured several Spanish vessels; and had
boarded a number of Americans, who wete treated
with politeness. At Algiers they were perfectly
tranquil. Captain 'Solfrord, arrived at Baltimore in'
13 days from Laguira, informs, that the people there
appear entirely ignorant of the operations of either the
Patriotic expedition or te Royalists. General Bo-
livar was said to be only in possession of the north side
of the island of Margarine. A Spanish vessel ar-1
rived three days before from Cumana, at which time
it Mill remained in the hands of the Royalists.

The King of Pointy:am, having granted permission

Accounts have been received in town, that twenty.
four ships have been &yert on shore in the Gulf of
/lyricla, and that two of them are the Martha Brae,
and the Atlas, of Glasgow. From Otis circumstance
it was feared that most of the other ships, names un-
known, were Jamaica.men, but we are assured that
such could nos be the case, as all the vessels expected
from Jamaica, except the two in question, had ar-
vvei. The test of the unfortunate ships are there-
fore supposed to be Havannah-mcn or Americans.—
