1t does not appear to have been extensive
at sea, in an easterly direction from Boston,
nor TO the northward of the latitude. Some
vessels have arrived, which were to the
southwark of this latitude during the storm
and felt it very severely-but we find that
vessels in ports on the coast between New
York and the Delaware, and vessels near
to that coast, weathercd the gale without
much injury.
The Worcester Gazette, says From
the best inform ton we can obtain, it may

acres of salt marsh were covered with
sand to such depth, as completely to ruin
them.
A large quantity of corn was swept from
the fields, and entirely destroyed.
On the north side of Cape Cod, the da-
mage done by the late storm as, compar-
ativcly inconsiderable. The Salt Works
on this side received little or TO injury.

was sustained at Nantucket.
