ALGHIRRI (SARDINIA), JULY 2.

Pirates have bad the audacity to approach our
shores; they I inded to the aumber of 5?, advancing
boldly into tl►e interior to make.prisoners. On this
occasion, however, the recollection of past mist*.
tunes inspired the ithabitants with the desire of re-
sistance. They rallied in *lit& wood through which
the pirates were to pan : the civic guard collected
from all quarters at the sound of the tocsin on the
mountain, and succeeded in capturing the vessels of
the barbarians, who had not time to get on board.
Those who were left to guard the vessels thought,
when they saw their comrades returning, that they
were bringing on board their prisoners as usual, arid
made no preparations for defence: the civic guard
then attacked the vessels nith impetuosity; and took
seventeen, with all their crews.
The Sardinians who assembled on this occasion
were composed of three or four hundred peasants,
armed with all sorts of weapons. The Government
has shut up the prisoners, and they will be sent to
Cagliari when some troops of the line arrive. This
success has put es all in high spirits, and may be
productive of the best consequences. It has proved
that riteatintrisitthetit any tattles, but With

are raastbra of these Barbarians.

British manufactures : her Royal Highness has ex-
pressed her hope of seeing hone but those manufac-
tures worn by Ladies at her wedding. The wedding
dress is of English net, worked in silver lama very
richly in sprigs, with a deep scalloped border to cor-
respond ; the body and sleeves the same, trimmed
with a superb suit of lace round the bosom to fort* a
double cape. The dress is to be worn over a
silver Misfire petticoat ; the mantua is of silver i
tissue, trimmed with a rich border of silver lima, to
correspond with the bottom of the dress. Her Roy:tl
Highness has several other dresses equally beautiful,
all of English manufacture.:--one of gold tissue,
trimmed with gold fringe ; one of silier tissue, trim-
med with lama embroidery and lace ; and several
others rich and elegant in the extreme. As daughter
of the KING ber Royal Highness will wear the Royal
Mantle of purple velvet, richly ornameo:ed with
gems set in gold. The PRINCESS will also wear on

A letter froth Quebec. dated June 10, says—" We
had a fall of snow here on the Bth instant several
inches in depth. The we.ither is still cold, and it
snows at intervals; the trees are not yet in. bloom,
and the oldest inhabitant does not remember such a
season.••
A letter from Philipsburg of the ".th contains the
following passage :".61 Last night our restiwhich we
so mach needed, after many days incessant labour
to keep the Rhine within its bounds; was slistuibed
in a distressing manner. The ringing of bells. and
the sound of cannon, as signals of distress, announced
the dreaded bteach of the dyke where 11* S:talbach
falls into the Rhine. • The dawn of day shewrd a
Lake of many hundred arres, where the finest corn
fields and meadows are destroyed by the flood. The
distress of the inhabitants, who suffered to much lad
year by the troops and supplying the magazines, is
very great. All the neighbouring districts suffer
more or less from similar causes.

There was a violent storm of hail on Thursday at
Ipswich, which was followed by the most awful
builder
.and lightning.
Monday morning, during a severe thunder-storm,
a fine brood mare, the property of Mr. JOHN KNAP.

During a thunder-storm which occurred on NVed-
nesday morning, a barn on the premises of Mr. J.
, farmer, of Messing; Essex, was set on fire by
lightning ; and so tepid and destructive were the
flames, that more than a quarter of an. hour had not
elapsed from the time it was struck by the electric '
fluid, before .it became a muss of ruins. Another
barn e.nd a granary, enveloped in the conflagration,
mere materially damaged, and a considerable quan-
tity of wheat destroyed, together with various imple-
ments, notwithstanding the most prompt assistnce.
