on was moving forward to the scpulclrc,
frightful storm burst ovcrthe city the rain
fell in torrents, and with So much force, that

which had been presented to him that morn

| French Brandy.-The following story
is in circulation 8" The high price of bran
dy, and the circumstance of the British &C.
vcrnmcnt having refused licences for further
limportations OF it from France, have sug-
gcsted to certain entcrprising SPECTATORS,
now in this country, singular eXpedient for
procuring that exceedingly scarce commc-
dity. The plan which they hit upon and
carried into effect, was as follows Bran
dies were shipped by their correspondents
at Bordeaux, at time agreed upon between
the parties, in a vessel carrying American
colors. Aprivateer at the same period pro-
!Ceeded from England to the mouth of tho
Garonne, and captured the American, rs for
"A breach of blockade. The brandy thus OBJ
tanned, was brought to England, and con-
demncd in the regular way. The captors
now thought no obstacle remained to the in
production of it to the open market; but ON
a representation being made of the whole of
the business TO the Board of Trade, by the
| English merchants engaged in that branch
4 of commerce, their being so introduced was
prohibited. The scheme has thus been frus-
trated, and the brandy remains under bono
Tor expectation"
