Thii morning a dreadtul fire broke oat in a house
ituated in the Roe Sr. Honer,. The fire was first seen
in" the laboratcry if AJ. (,alai, surgeon, who occupies
the ground Boor. The whole toast part was in flames,
aid Vie, (tie hild pined the stair case, the steps of is hich
Amy. however, of stone, most fortunately, as it pre-
setv.ed the only mode of egress for the inhabitants of
the upper stiries. Even these were swept by a mass of
time end burning smoke, denying all passage; and it
rots lie imsgioed what was their agony until the,
„arrival the icemen. These excellent fellows were
loon on the spof,.and.fave every assistance; and, by at-
tending to their directions, and not attempting to come!
flown until they gave permission. M. Lacretelle,
member of the 'Loyal. Academy, lea:hed the street in
s ifety. An unfortunate young wonian, who impru-
dently attempted to.coniedosen before the firemor gave
the signal, was caught by the flames, and, retreating
back, 141 deid in her mother's arms; the mother was
al4 w much built by hercletbes catching fire .that
she is, in the greelest denim fb. Carai lost every.thing
;he possessed by tb5..5.1.4.

Captain Dumont Ore*, commanding the Astro-
labe, who was sent toiook after the tense ns of the ex-
pedition cinder Peyroqse, appears to have foUnd out the
spot where he was shipwrecked. It •a. on the south
coast of the island of Vanekoro, and not Malicolo, that
both ships were lost on the rocks, (luting a very dark
night. The natives, questioned by an interpretet, de-
clared that they saw an immense beat among the rocks
which was soots demolished, and swalloived up by the,
waves. About SO of the people on board her escaped stn
the boat, and reached the island. On the f .flowing day
!they saw another vessel, similar to the one they hid seer,
the day before, sink on a regular shore, whete the sv.rvr
was 16 or lb feet deep. She rem sired 'a long time
widmint being destroyed. All these who we:e on
• beard • her La•Aed. and joining the first corners, built a
small vessel nut of the wreck of cite one which
.had,
goulitu_the rocks. After sax or seven months' labour
ilsatrgefi .the ,island, accordlog to the r.p.ninn most
severally entertained. Toe precise spit of the ship-
wreck was note however, pointed out by the natives..
The present of a piece of new cloth made them fa.
vourably disposed, and then they pointed out a place,
where, at the depth of three or four f +thorns, amhors,
guns, bills, and an hints:me quantity of pig an f sheet
lead wertdiscernible. The AO 4t of thrall-tr. lobe sue e ded
in weighing an anchor of IS cwt. a short gun. an eight
poUnder, a pig of lead, and two brass swivels. Certain,
-from these memorials, that this was the spot where Ls
Peyrouse was wreck •d, M. D Urville caused a monu-
ment to be erected, with this inscription—. 4 Ti. the
Memory of -La P yrnuse and Iris companions; the As.
imbibe, March 4, 11-28." A tietachmmt of ten men
marched round the mausoleum, three times, and fi•ed
three round of musketry, while the ship fired a salute
of el. guns. After paying these pions honours to the
manes of their illustii sus countrymen, the crew if the
Astrol .be, alum t all ill, having escaced by a miracle
the most dreadful danger, succeeded in reaco.ing th
Marianne Islands, IA heie they were-well re vice I by the
