FROM TUE DAILY 'ADVERTISER.

Among the multiplied disasters caused by thehsr•
ricane on Monday, the following is one of the not
distressing that has hitherto reached us. The stab
ment was made to us by Captain James Robinson,
who alone was saved of the crews of four vessels
wrecked near Rockaway. Captain Robinson ra

away, the gale became dreadful, the sails were tors
to pieces in a moment, and the schooner overset,
when all hands were thrown into the water amorg
the wood which was also afloat. Captain Robinson
had presence of mind enoughto seize a stick of light
wood which he secured under one of his arms, and
by the aid of that reached the shore about two miles
west of Cornell's, after having been an hour in the
water. His vessel drifted on shore a perfect wreck
Every person on board but himself perished.

NEWHAVEN, SEPTEMBER 4.
A gale commenced here last evening at six o'dock
which from eight to ten increased to a violent top
nado. Much damage was done. Chimnies, trees, sir,
fences, &c. are scattered in all directions. Neatly
all the vessels in the harbour were driven by the
wind, and are more or less damaged. Fortunate!l
it was low water at the height of the gale, else nest
a vessel would have been left seaworthy, One packs
in particular drove against one of the bridges on the
pier, carsied away half the bridge, broke her nag,
and raked her in almost every past. No lives bore
been lost, or we know of none lost as yet.
BRIDGEPORT, SEPTEMBER 4.
The storm at this place lasted until nearly elm°
o'clock at night. Several buildings have been blows
down and unroofed—chimnies and windows demo.
lished—the largest trees torn up by the roots—fences
destroyed, and the roads rendered totally impassable
in many places by the trunks and branches 0111*
strate trees. The spire.of the steeple to the Presb?
terian Meeting-house, together with the lightning
rod, vane, and ball, were blown down, and the Waft
fronting the Churches is strewed with the Jiattelei
branches of the trees which surrounded it. On the
water; the scene of desolation is yet more appalling.
Almost all the vessels in this port parted their fasts
ings, and were driven, some on the Flats, where thel•
grounded, without sustaining much injury; otbell
went on the Graving Banks, and one sloop drifted
against the Bridge, where she remains a wreck.

Bridge itself was considerably injured. No vessel°
• our harbour has been totally destroyed, but very for
have escaped free from some damage. We are 901

regains its former appearance. The stage-coach from
New lirJrk, was compelled to stop in this Borough, in
emsepicnce of the violence of the storm and impedi-
inenrs on the road, until the next morning. We learn
from Trumbull, Newtown, Washington, &c. that the
gale was equally severe in the interior. The destruc-
tion of fruit, and fruit-trees was immense.
NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER R.

-.
We are happy in stating that no hurricane was
experienced at Boston or Baltimore, on Monday last.
The Beam Palladium, of Tuesday, merely observes,
~thax a violent gale was experienced from S.S.E.
last night."

Owing to the prevalence of the strong gales from
the north-west, there have been no arrivals from the
Continent either yesterday or to-day.

THE KING'S PROGRESS. •

cAssEL, DEPARTMENT DU NORD, SEPT. 26.
His Britannic MAJESTY was anxiously expected
la, yesterday, and the French Government had
adopted every meivure which could possibly insure
MAJESTY the accommodation and honours due to
his rank. The 'lnspector-General of the Posts had
provi.led this place with an additional number of
post homes, and yesterday the garrison of Bergues
(i‘ith theerception only of the men on duty), which
consisted of the 22d regiment of infantry, and also
two squadrons of the 6th regiment of dragoons,
marched in here to receive his MAJESTY with mili-
tary parade. The avant couriers, which passed
through this town very early this morning, said, his
31AJESTY had slept the preceding night at Calais,
rid might be expected here at two o clock, P.M.—
The Marquis de JONfILLAC, Commander-in-Chief of
the Department du Nord, passed through about one,
and gave his commands to the Field-officer on duty
here. The infantry then proceeded to line the street
and the road about a mile in length, forming wine
1 rig; as they term it, about twenty yards asunder,
while the grenry.lier companies and the dragoons
for:, ed the guard of honour. About half-past two
o'clock this afternoon, his Masmsrv's carriage en-
tered the town and proceeded through the streets at
a foot pace. The soldiers presented arms as his MA-
JESTY passed, then formed into file and followed the
can i4ge—port arms. When the carriage arrived at
the Post aux Cheveaux, tho grenadiers presented
arm,, and the cavalry rendered similar honours.—
The horses were all in readiness; the fronts of all the
houses were filled by Ladies, and a great concourses
were assembled round the post-house. There were
several English present, who took off their hats,
which was followed by the French in view of the
Royal carriage. Admiral WINTHROP and Captain
Plina.nas, R.N. wei e the only British Officers pre-
sent, and with their Ladies approached the Royal
carriage. His MAJESTY immediately let down the
window, and bowed to the Officers on duty; he took
much notice of the Admiral's fine children, and en-
tered into conversation, with real condescension and
kindness, with Admiral WisarranoP and Captain
*Kiwi,. There was a general expression of re-
spect from the English, of " GOD bless your Majesty I
may your Majesty enjoy a long and happy reign !"
To which the KING replied by thanks most feelingly
uttered, and repeated obeisances. His MAJESTY
looked extremely well, clear, and well bronzed by
the sea breezes. He seemed evidently delighted,
and surprised to receive warm and sincere congratu-
lations in his own old English language, where he
little expected it, for there are very few English re-
sidents here; nine English cheers, to which the
French added a cordial chorus, were the final salute.
The Mayor and all the Authorities were present, and
saluted; and it must not be omitted, that from amidst
the French Clergy, one Gentleman stepped forward,
rod, in good English, said, he was happy on his
=lire soil to thank his MAJESTY, which he did with
siscere gratitude, on behalf of his brethren and him-
rif, for the support and protection they had received
England, and he devoutly prayed his MAJESTY
sight enjoy a long and happy reign: This unaf-
hcted address beamed into the KING'S eyes, while
he thanked the Gentleman in the most cordial man-
ner for his good wishes. The carriage drove off at a
foot pace, as if to say, his MAJESTY would willingly
tarry 'while, if his duties did not call him away. It
was delightful to think, that this fine country should
be the scene of so much cordiality, which is more
congenial to the smiling fields and verdure around
this place, than the horrors and devastations of war.
Lillis MAJESTY'S carriage were the Marquis of Co-
MORI', Lord GRAVES, and Dr. KN roN.—
The Duke of WELLINGTON and Marquis of LONDON-
DERRY slept here on Monday night, and set off next
morning early for Brussels. Sir EDMUND NAGLE,
Sir ANDREW BERNARD, and LorclTaalscis CONYNG-
Iux, followed his MAJESTY ill another carriage.—
the Royal party sleep to-night at Lille, and reach
B'sssels to-morrow.

A Frankfort Paper states that the Queen Dowager
WIRTEMBERG has invited her brother, the KING of
Great Britain, to visit her during his stay on the Con-
hent. In order to give him an agreeable surprise, she
Prchased a small house in a village on the road, and
famished it tastefully, but after the manner of an inn.
She has even made a sign be put up ; and, on the ap-
roach of GEORGE IV. she intends to take possession,
and receive him in the character of the hostess.

The Foreign Papers, both French and German,
contain various allusions to his NIAd r STY.S Continental
•' it. Splendid preparations are making at Vienna
for his reception; and there appears to be no doubt
that he will visit Paris on his return. It is observable
that the consorts of some of the reigning Princes of
Germany, with the Pi inccsses their daughters, are
,
~e3ritr, upon various points of his MAJESTY'S route i
from Brussels to Hanover, with views too obvious to
k more Piaticularlv mentioned. Some of the young
Ladies (if we may apply that term) arc described as
well calculated to make an impression where it is their
urpose to please. The young Pi incess of Hisst: is
the mist frequently alluded to in the Foreign Papers.
His NIAJEsTv's late visit to Ireland is likely to prove
itlicial in more ways than one. The son at an Eng-
-1 Earl is about to be united to the daugher °fa very
respect able person in trade in Drogheda. She is both
)04;ig and pretty, and will not disgrace the situatiou
teed foltuue has thrown in her way.
