About 5 O'Clock yesterday e~ennS'
abou, one-ha!f of the stone wall, at the
arch, three quarters OF mile above the
basin, suddenly gave way, and tumbied
from ita base. This wall was forty feet in
en-th, over a small ravine, and contained
the necessary depth OF water for the
James river canal navigation. By this
breach, the water is reduced to the bed OF
the canal and poars into the river, instead
of it's place of destination. We are in
formed that some weeks will be necessary

ALL STORM.

HAIL STORM.
One or the mos. awful and destructive
Aaii storms, that We ever recollect to have
witnessed, passed over this place yester-
day, about 5 O'Clock in the afternoon 1t
arose in the south west, gradually assum-
In. the most dark and terrific aspect; and
finally burst upon the town in mingled
torrent Of rain and hail, accompanied with
vivid flashes OF lightning, and violent
south west wind. The hail was very de-
structive, stripping the smaller limbs from
the trees, and prostrating the rye fields
and all the tender vegetables OF the gar
den. Some of the hail stones W, IRE of the
size of hen eggs; and one which we motto
ed measured about seven inches in circum-
ference. Almost every pane of glass,
which had south or west exposure, was
bro.en, and in one house alone we counted
above l9O. which were shattered to pie
ces. During the severest part OF the storm
which tasted above quarter of an hour,
we beheli with surprise the sagacity of a
fioel, of geese, in protecting themselves
from its merciess rage: they formedt them
selves into compact body, with their
necks and bills perpendicularly extended,
and thus they stood motionless, patiently
waiting until the storm abated-the cattle
were seen Fastening home, before the usu-
al hour. through every street and avenue;
and many oethe smaller birds were killed;
one instance Of which greatly excited our
sympathy-a Robin which was Matching
on a pear tree in DIR. Watson's garden,
faithful to its trust. was found bleeding
and dead on its e gs, which remained un-
broten
Wehope the cloud soon exhausted it
self, and hat the injury has not been ex-
tensivs. .-.>

Arrangements have been made, by the
4iisrsreat departments of our government,
ynicn seemed to indicate an expectation
tiiat possession Of the Floridas would be
welded to the United States by the Span
ish authorities, as soon as our officers
,sere ready to receive it. We know, for
instance, that Governor jackson, and
other United States officers, are on the
SPOT. Recent information, however, in
duses us to doubt whether the Spanish
authorities are so ready to give up the
reius of government there, however loose
Nv they lie in their hands They have a
right TO retain the possession for six
months from the ratification but in good
faith they ought not to do it. Such de-
la, could be of no advantage to the Span
ish nation, whilst it might be seriously
preiudicial to the United States, by af-
fsrding an opportunity to few despica-
bic creatures to smuggle slaves 4 foreign
goods into our country.
Considering what evils attend coun-
try without government, as the Fioridas
eifectuaily are, under present circumstan-
ces-what temptations are afforded to
knavery, what impunity to crime, we
hope that, on more direct information, it
will appear that the government of Spain
has not determined to reduce the value of
the acquisition as much as is in her power,
by keeping possession to the last moment.
Half the value Of an act of amity consists
in the manner in which it is performed
The government of Spain having, after an
unxracious delay of two years, made up
its mind to rntify the treaty, ought GER
family to have wasted no time in carrying
il into effect.

From the New- York .4drerfiser.

In the British House of Commons. on the
29th of March, Mr.. Hume moved for an ac
count attending the detention of Napoleon
Buonaparte. He said that the expenses Of
the year 1919, agreeably to an estimate in his
possession, amounted to G449,674. He called
Tor copies of all the correspondence attending
his detention, and also moved for an account
OF what England had paid towards the same
Tor the last five years. The motion was a.
greed to.
Sir Robert Wilson said he Tas anxious to
take the first opportunity which presented it.
sell OF protesting in the most solemn manner
against the detention of Napoleon. (Alaueh:)
Gentlemen, he said, might laugh but he ex:
pressed the sentiment of every Just and hui
name man in Europe. In his detention he
could see nothing but dishonour, the violation
OF national faith, and the stain Of national
character: He considered his imprisonment
breach of faith, &c.
Charles Felix, Duke of SAVOY. Duke De
Genevols, &c. In whose favour the King of
Sardinia abdicated, issued proclamation OF,
the 10th of March, declining to take the title
OF King, and declaring that he should consid-
er and regard as rebels those Of the Kings
subjects who may unite with the seditious in
proclalming Constitution, or in any shape OPP
pose the royal authority. The following is
the conclusion of his proclamation -
Full of confidence in the grace and assist
ance of God, who always protects the cause Of
justice; and persuaded that our august allies
are disposed to come promptly to our assist
ance, with all their forces, in the sole and gen
ero'ts intention, constantly manifested by THEM.
to support the legitimacy ofthrones, the pleni.
tude of royal power, and the integrity of states.
we hope to be soon enabled to re-establish or
der and tranquility, and to recompense those
who, in present circumstances, shall have par.
ticularly merited our grateful benevolehce.''
The reason assigned by King Victor Emanu.
ell for Indicating; is, that he had given
promise to the three foreign powers not to adj
here to any Constitution that may be imposed
on him, and not wishing to break his word or
sacrifice his people, he had resolved to abdi-
cate.

M1DDLEsEx JUICE OF PROBATE.

ohIDOLESEX JUDGE OF PROBATE.
SAMUEL P. P. FAY, of Cambridge, is APP
pointed by the GOVERNOR and Council Judge
of Probate of Middlesex-vice JAMES PRS
co TT, removed.-From the slight knowledge
we have of the character of Mr. Fay, we deem
this a very judicious appointment: Many Of
the s,iitors in Probate Courts are Widows and
Orphareo just bereaved of husband or faith
er, and whose feelings require that kind and
delicate Treatment which some men more than
others are in the habit of awarding to all with
whom they have intercourse.
We have not yet seen report Of the trial
of Judge Prescott, and it is therefote that we
have abstained from any comment upon the
result. Our readers know that he was con-
victed upon two out Of fifteen charges. Al
though there is no reason to doubt that this
decision is just, ace have no disposition to ex-
ult at the disgrace of the individual convicted.
We do rejoice, however, that justice has had
Its course-that effect has been given to that
principle Of our government which subjects
the high as well as the low, the magistrate as
well as the mere citizen, to the scrutiny of the
laws, and to the punishment provided for their
violation.
A New-York paper remarks that it is hon.
Durable to Massachusetts that Judge Prescott,
being Fsderalist, has been impeached by
federal House of Representatives, and COM
yicted by federal Senate What must be
Che effect of political parties upon that COM
munity where such circumstance is thought
worthy of notice Who would think of re-
marking upon the circumstance of mans be-.
ing indicted for crime by grand jury, and
convicted by traverse Jury, all being of the
same political party? The very remark would
be an implied reproach upon the administra-
ton of justice. The case of Judge Prescott
is not dissimilar in principle. The House of
Representatives is the Grand Inquest Of the
State and the Senate, when organized as

-" al the aCorLd's a stage,
t.4nd all The men and oon,en merely players.,'
Never were hopes more completely disap-
pointed than they have been by the issue of
the Neapolitan struggle for Independence
The foreign intelligence, with which we fur
hish our readers, this week, is sad comment
upon the Manifesto of the Neapolitans, in
serted on the preceding page. Austria has eff
fected her purpose, and Naples has submitted
--almost without an effort The large bodies
of troops collected by the Neapolitans, prove
to have been altogether inefficient and the
victory which, last week, there was reason to
believe they had obtained over the Austrians,
was, it seems, an unimportant affair, in which
the latter claim the advantage.
1t is not to be concealed that all this is a Sc
rious disappointment of our expectations. But
still, we believe, the end has not yet come.
The allied powers, though they have over
come Naples, have not conquered the spirit
that has gone abroad in Europe. The ancient
order of things they have by no means firmly
established; and if they have Put off the eua
dag, they cannot defer it forever.
1t is now very obvious inquiry-What step
will the allies next take? The same princi-
pies by which they have been governed in
their conduct towards Naples, will lead them
70 interfere in the affairs of Spain and of Portu-
gal. But will the rest of Europe, win France
and England, submit to see the independence
of those nations violated? Will the allies dare
attempt it? Time will show whether Europe
has, at so much expense of blood, rid herself
of the domination of Napoleon, to submit to the
control Of the "Holy Alliance''--whether the
power of Cesar was overthrow merely to
make room for no less domineerng trium-
9irate.

LAYBAcH. MARCH IS.


The news of the late events in Piedmont
arrived here by an extraordinary courier
Far from changing the plans concerted among
the allied sovereigns, it has only served to con-
firm the resolutions which they have taken,
and to fortify the measures which they had
ordained, in order to save the social order of
Europe from the dangers winch menaced it,
The two Emperours had conference of some
hours; after which their Majesties gave au-
dience to several foreign Ministers. Couriers
were Immediately dispatched and it was
known that the orders given were to form inn
mediately new Austrian army of 10000 men
in Lombardy, Independently Of the expedi-
tionary army of Naples, and the Austrian gar
risons which, at this moment, occupy the
whole of the Lombardo-Venetian territory
At the same time, Russian army of 100000
men, which had already been directed to hold
itself in readiness to march, will receive orders
to enter the hereditary States, and to approach
the theatre of war.
