ROSEAU (DuMI I SEIPT.
Between one mod' tv.o o'clocg the :.im-tiing of
Monday the. Isth, the InOabitauts throne!) this it/.
latitred and devoted colony were awakened by the
violence of the wind, the falling shoe ers of heavy
rain, and the most vivid flashes of l'ghtning, without
e rider ; in deed .the atmosphere appeared to be
charged with el, ctiic • d pouring in streams fr,m
the clouds: the darkne:is was hereby aaar um& snore
horrid, by being rendered more visible. •
The wind came' at first from E. but changed after.-
wards to N.W. Red W. then S. and continued to blow
with increased vi.Aence. - Bet seeen. 4 .1114 ::..,1/4.10ek it

mischief that has occurred was cawing to the *dread, el
blasts from that quarter; towards daHight it changed _
again to the East, and for a quarter of a» hour 1;!•:ar

raining, unil late in the evening. when it scemed to
have exhausted its powers.
In the town and environs some homes and out.
houses have been blown dpwn and some damaged,
fences in general laid low, and many trees, if not down
altogether, much torn up by the force of the storm.
—lt is not yet understood to what extent the injuries
are done in.the distant parts of the colony, By some
reports that have come from along the coast we learn
that the canes and coffee-trees are greatly destroyed,
and the devastation of provisions and vegetables of
all kinds cruel and melancholy ; and if there should
be fry this calamity a universal privation of these in.

the inhabitants of all classes and descriptions, we

ticularly the ;ter,e?,:ats succour of the inhabitants of
Si-. Vincera.—E very vessel in the bay endeavoured to
get to, sea, the snit' Laving risen to a great height:
the aloop Retrieve, belonging to Messrs. Cunningham
and %rings, did not sitceeed, hot was un;ortueately
diiven on stn.,, e below Point Michel, and rendered
a complete wreck. 1-1-r cargo, consisting of nearly
fifty puncheons of rum, hound to Aryl in from the
windward orates, hada nearly lien al lest to the
pr. prietors; the plundering :of *i•ime in the

was scaadalously great-,wretches of toe vilest de.

actively employed in robbiag ahem of that the angry
elements had spired. We sincertly hope that such
base vilainy will be dcti-cted, and the perpetra.Ors
brought to condip,n punishnaeut. Four of the Re-
trieve's sailors lo;; their lives.

A small Ktroelt set:o°,ler from Goad-dour", wif.h
a cargo of assored prov:sians, only arrived the even-
ing before, was also driven od shore near the: 1:IA1k:a ;
most of her cargo floated to the beach, • where some
plundet age took place by the negroes. The Halifax
schooner Acadian, Captain Welch, also left the bay,
but has weathered the storm, and returned to her
anchorage. The sloop Mary, Captain Watson, also
from Halifax. with a cargo of fish, and the Lute. be.
longing to Captain Cunningham, have not yet been
heard of ; the former is supposed to be lost off Scott's
Head.—The barracks at Morne Brpce are not ma-
terially injured, but both officers and men were inun-
dated by the rain, and many of the doors and window
shutters blown away ; but this convulsion of nature was
stronger felt at Prince Rupert's than in Roseau, and
the consequences most distressing ; the barrack in the
inner cabtit rendered totelly t....initabitabie, and the
men's barracks in Fort Shirty with one side of the roof
off ; the large Officer's barrack is also pertly unroof.

ordnance sheds in the yard prostrated ; the Officers'
stables and ont-efices of the quarters in the outer ct-
brit ate all down, together with the flag-staff at Fart
Shirty ; the suit' in the Bay was so heavy as to catty
away the guard-louse on t:le beach, and the garrison
boat there also totally lost. The Otfkers and men in
this place are without sittltc.r, and, their situation
roar want of tern loos( ‘s• kward. and lamentable.
—A sick man w. 45 stvt.r7l, Ato•lndcd, and anorher

ill, died after the storm. We believe these b.e the
only casualties among the troops when the dig:ach
came away. During the height faf the storm Wine
shacks of earthquake were felt, and in fact aunt stone
buildings have been shaken to their foundations. It
