A most distressing and melancholy e.
vent has occurred at St. Petersburgh,
occasloned by the Overlooking Of the
Neva, IN hurricane. The bodies of

Inc same hurricane has gone over
[ne northern coast of Jutland, passed
Uot'enburg and Stockholm, sweeping
every thing in its course. The whole
regiment OF imperial carabanier guards,
men and horses, have persisted. A yes
sci OF one hundred guns has completely
disappeared; all the imperial vessels in
the harbor of Cronstadt are lost. Bury
fairgrounds have been washed away,
and the dead bodies are floating through
the streets. Whole stores of coffee and
sugar have been destroyed; those arti.

damaged.
lhe storm commenced on the 18Th
IN the evening, wind west, and continued
SO until the morning Of the 18th; the
NeVa then rose nearly level with the
streets. AT half past 8, a sudden rise Of
the river took place, which in few
minutes oVerfowed the streets of St.
retersburgh; the people who lived on
tne lower floors ran up stairs for safety.
Inc water came up to the top of the
lamps, and the great bridge was carried
away at once; all the bridges are des-
troyed or very much injured. At half
past three in the afternoon, the water
began to fall, and at nine O'Clock in the
evening the streets were clear. All the
cellars are filled, and goods destroyed,
even those IN the Exchange.
The gale began upon the shores of
England and Ireland, and after, having.
wrought into fury the Northern Sea and,
caused numerous shipwrecks upon the
northern coast of Jutland, passed by
dottenburgh and Stockholm, continually
rising more and more from southwest to
northeast. In traversing Sweden, it
swept away whole forests; but it was.
naturally in the Gulf of Finland that IFS
raVages would be most severely felt, its
violence having kept up to that spot.
10 an instant, it drove the waters of the.
Baltic into the Gulf of Finland, which.
being terminated by point towards the
east, must have experienced, particular.
~ towards that extremity, a sudden and
immense elevation of its waters. This
line, which appears TO form a double
curve, determined by some lofty lsads,
presents upon the map development of
from $40 to 400 leagues, over which
the hurricane travelled in few minutes.
