FROM TILE comatEficLa ADVERTISER, DECEMBER 23.

On Tuesday afternoon, about three o'clock, James
Stoughton, Esq. son of the Spanish Consul, was met
near the corner of Courtland-street, by Mr. Robert
Goodwin, of Baltimore, and in a reneontre, provoked
by the latter, was stabbed through the heart with a
sword-cane, and expired in a few minutes.
The Charleston Courier states, that orders have
reached that port directing the Military force to re-
move to Amelia Island—a dash at the Floridas Is
conjectured.

A Leeward Island Mail arrived this morning.—
The packet sailed the 7th of November from Barba-
does, and the Ist of December fi om St. Thomas's.
The intelligence from the Main is very unfavour-
able: business is at a total stand; ships are waiting
in every port for freights; and those arrived out can-
not dispose of their cargoes.

Extract of a Letter from Grenada, dated Novem-
ber 14, 1819, received this morning:

" For several day, previous to the 13th October, the sky in-
dicated an approachiag hurricane. It rained most of that day,
and at night iiicreasvd so much as to represent one falling sheet
of water. The great river St. Andrew rose to an extent lever
before witnessed, exceeding in height, by three f,-et, the memo-
rable 21st of Oc;obtr, 1317.

" Throughout the whole Island the care-fields, provision-
grounds, negro-houses, and on some estates the works, have
selfered incalculable injury. The canes, which had already
suffered much by a lung duration of dry weather, have been so
much injured as to pres,:nt a gloomy prospect for the ensuing
crop. An extensive supply of flour arrived a few days after
the hurricane, which dispelled the apprehensions of an imme-1
diate fuming."
