"By gentleman lately from yienns, we
learn that the son Of Napoleon Bopaparte
is regarded, and universally spoken Of,

Our distressed colony has probably
suffered more in the late storm than in
the fire, et the eth Sept. 1916. The
storm which happened on the esth of Fe.
bruary and lst Of March, hiss spared no.
thing BY land or water. All the vessels
in the port were lost or damaged in some
degree, and many lives have been LOST
Many houses 10 the town are ruined
On the plantations. the buildings have
suffered as much IS the field. Many
planters have lost their all, ard the dis.
trsss is general. It is impossible, while
every one Is busy to see what is LEFT
to him, rather than to tell his losses, to
obtain an exact account Of the losses tho
colony has sustained. We beg our
friends and the inhabitant. in general 10
give Us every aid in general statement,
for which they shall have our thanks
The barometer sunk lowcr-than was ever
known, and md of those who observed
it we're unable at frat to account for the
notices it gave in so extraordinary 4
manner. II appears that the most ,,o-
lent blasts were from the N. z. but with
q force very unequal, as we could see
small vessels stand IT, while others Of
the greatest sirength we're destroyed at
. small distance from them. Many per.
sons observed that the rain water was
salt, and on the DAY after the storm the
water which lows near the town was
found brackish.
