DISTRESSINC

"a \ ~ DIS TfESSlNG.
The torrent rain, which fell during the
night of Thursday last has been productive OF
much individual distress and public inconveni
ence.-The fresh in the river rose with great
rapidity during the night, and by day break
had swept all the lamber from the wharves,
and drove most of the vessels from their fast
ninEs; one of which was sunk with $50 barrels
Of tar on board, and several others much niur-
ed.-But the greatest Individual loss, as well as
public Inconvenience, with which we are yet
acquainted, is the destruction of the bridge ct
Falmouth, the property of Robert Dunbar esq.
Which gave way about l l o'clock yesterday.
The fresh was still rising at o'clock p. N.
yesterday.
The communication both North and South is
interrupted. aud We think it probable that the
mails will not be abe to pass and repass before
Monday, particularly to the North.
