Dovra, Mann s.—The effects of the-dreadful hurricane of
the 2d and 3d Inst. will be long felt and deplored by number;
The oldest seamen here do not recollect so sudden and terrible
a gale; and I am much afraid that we shall hear of more dis-
trening accounts than those which already present themselves,
if that be possible. The property and victims to the devastating
and destructive element are quite incalculable. The whole line
of ;French coast, for a distance of 40 miles, and many parts of
the Chinnel, are strewed with floating wreck. It is stated on
ptelfy good authority; that there are no less than 63 vessels
.. •
'wrecked between Calais and Etaples, the crews for the most
pert saved; but they present such a &hocking scene of misery
mad distrinis to be quite appalling, the greater part being frost.
piped, and worn out with fatigue. A person saw about 500 of
these.poiir seamen huddled together in a barn. Yesterday. the
Providence,•of Wells (Norfolk), Captain Hass, came in, having
two of her crew dead with the cold dead excessive fatigue; their
names are ELION and JORDAN, both of Wells, and have left wives
and families. The James, of Newcastle, Captain limier; ar-
rived off here, and landed six of the crew of the brig London.
of Sunderland, which foundered in the gale on the SheePwash.
A brig, belonging, it is thought, to Weymouth, went down of
here. Six vessels were wrecked on the Goodwin Sands, two
or three off the Knob, and three off the Swin. The King
George packet, with the Mail for Ostend, was caught by the
gale within six miles of that port, and had a very hard time of it,
but returned here in safety, though damaged. Forty vessels have
taken shelter in this port, but they have all more or less received

some damage. Many of the houses in the town were injured
by the hurricane; and the vane from the old Church at the
Castle, with part of the wall, was blown down. A boat, with
“ Sophia, of London, Cor.uxes master," upon it, has been picked
tip at sea.

AiAscu 6.—Arrived the Lord Duncan packet, from Ostend.
She reports that seventeen vessels are on shore between Dun-
kirk and Nieupert.

The Pandora was driven on shore the 2d instant, near Hun-

Mr. WHARTON and his friends were assailed with
see; and groans, showers of mud, stones, &c.
:end many had their clothos torn. Mr. WttAftToN
retreated into the house of Mr: THOMMON, when the,
populace proceeded to break the windows with stones.
Gn the appearance of three companies of the 40th
Regiment from the Barracks, and the departure of

As Mr. WHARTON left the town, and was ascending
the hill near Barnes, he was again assailed with a
ihrexer of stones, and the hisses and groans of the inul-
titede, but fortunately he escaped without harm.
