St. Bartholomews, October 16.

On the Sd inst. heavy gale of wind
commenced blowing from the northwest,
which continued to blow with great vio-
lence from northward and southwest till the
.5th during which time every vessel in the
harbor amounting to upwards of fifty sail
were drove on shore. and although some
have been since got aRoat, the mercantile
interest by the loss of many vessels, and the
wharves and stores nearthe water being in
iured, will suffer very seriously. Among
those who have been most unfortunate, are
the American schr. Antelope of Alexan-
dria, drove on the rocks at the mouth Of
the harbor and gone entirely to pieces, the
crew and some few articles of the cargo
saved. The brig Charleston Packet Of
New York, this vessel driving fast on the
rocks outside of the harbor, where the cap
tain and crew for the preservation of their
lives landed with great difficulty in the long
boat, it is possible the vessel from the po-
sition she was anchored and the quarter
the wind blew from, may have drif,ed to

But the power of Sweden against France
is nothing, and unless the great powers
more Immediately in the neighborhood of
the French territory, take part IN the quar-
rel, the measures OF the northern courts
must be confined to expressions only. In
the mean time other violations of the free
dom OF Germany are mentioned. kfe-
men, one of the Hanseatic towns, which
had been. ordered to afford Bonaparte, a
loan on the security of the revenues of the
electorate of Hanover, and had refused,
has been subjected to a blockade of extra
ordinary rigor; and it is even said that
military execution mas at last been employ
ed TO enforce the sum demanded. Ii this
be true, and if the members and guardians
OF the G-rmanic empire submit to this, It
may surely be concluded that nothing will
arouse them.
A courier has been sent to field marshall
Bernados,e, desiring him Immediately 10
order the Hanoverian legion, in French
pay, to march for Brussels, where, Proba-
bly,, it Will be inspected by the emperor,
during his present or future journeys to
the coast. 1t is supposed that this legion
is already on its march, as detachmenss OF
gems d'armes have been sent into Westpha-
liza, to escort it for fear of desertion. La
return six thousand young recruits have
passed through Belgium, for the army in
Hanover; they are chiefly destined for the
infantry, and are conscsipts Of the years
10 and II. They march under an escort
Of two hundred gems d'armes, who have
orders to fire upon them If they should
show any inclination to mutiny or desertlon.
According to letters from France with
the last Hamburg mail the decorations
of the members Of the legion of honor have
caused much dissatisfaction among the
troops, aud many duels at Paris, and IN the
departments those who have obtained
them being lnsolent and proud, and those
without them humbled and provoked; ma
ny think that Bonapartewil be obliged to
follow the advice of Berthier, who. to
put stop to those dangerous scenes, wish
ed him to decree, that the stars ct the legl
CT OF honor should in future adorn all the
colours and standard Of every regiment in
the army, to shew that all It's officers as
we'll as men deserve to belong tothe legion
of honor, though some individuals nave
had more opportunities to distinguish them
selves than others.

LONDON, August II.

A paper OF this morning contains the toll
lowing article, which we insert, without
vouchins, in any degree for Its contents
" By an American gentleman, just arrived
from the continent we have received posi-
tive and authentic information that the Bou-
lOgDe AotiAas is in complete state of e.
qulpment, and ready to embrace the FIRST
opportunity of putting to sea. Whether
that opportunity will ever be permitted to
the enemy. by our blockading squadrons,
remains to be sesn. The troops stationed
on the uplands above Boulogne, and It's VIZ
entity amount TO upwards of one hundred
and sixty thousand men. The first divi-
sion, however, that will be embarked, will
not greatly exceed 100, 900. 1t is under
stood that they will coale under the COM
nand of prince Joseph. (who few years
ago, was acommon soldier In Piche gru's
army assisted BY Soult, Junot, and some
other experienced officers, as the emperor

Son. tits supposed that it is in conse-
queice OF information received concerning
Qle maturity OF the enemy's plans that our.
government have issued the proclamation

moving that we have atlsast 10000 rGgu-
4r troops ready toreceive them, and these

Sbad and Herring FIi5eyy.... OF this valuable
and abundant fource of employment and riches
TO the inhabitants of the borders of Hudfon ri
yer, Tome notice ihould be taken. The laf fea-
fon has proved uncommonly favourable to the
fiihermenin the vicinity of this city. In one
net not leis than 10000 fl,ad have been taken,
which have been fold for TO dollars per 100.
Innumerable quantitiesof herring have alfo been
caught. At one filming place, 10000 were ia
ken at Jingle tide. The value of the whole
number of herring taken in the feafon, is proba-
bly, equal to half that ofthe fhad. Thefe fine
ries occupy large numbers of people in the ri
yer, befides thcfe employed in drelling, falling
and packing them, as well as the coopers inftir-
milling caiks ;and form an important article of
exportation. Perhaps so nets are ufually own
ed or employed in the limits ofHudfon. Theft,
allowing them to be tolerabiy fuccefsful fay
taking 10000 fhad each at the loweft rate of 8
dollars per 1oc, would produce $4,000 dollars !;
and computing the value of the herring at half
that oftfe fhad, would be found to draw from
the bofoH of the river in about two months, no
leis than 45,QoQ dollars. IF the filheries on the
other parts of the river were equally productive
the Hudton might we'll be efteemed an inexhauf-
ti6le fountain of wealth.
