Dreadful Hurricane an Indid.-EXtract

think of nothing but the hurricane which
occurred here on the last day of October
such calamity have never heard or read
of ; at least 1000 persons in my jurisdiction
were drowned, and fear the accounts will
show double that number, including chill
dren. The high road from Madras to Cal
cutta runs through Balasore, about six miles
north Of this, and where it is in a direct line
nine miles from the coast, the eea crossed it,
carrying with it every living thing in that
space, in that direction. At least $50 square
miles were inundated from 10 to Is feet
deep.
The sea came up to Balasore, and TO the
northward also the inundation was little less.
The deck and part ola vessel are on the road.
Where the sea crossed on the west side
and where its progress was checked by the
road on the east side, are lying, all dead and
heaped together, men, tigers, buffaloes
cows, &c. | have sent out hundreds OF peo-
pie TO burn and bury, but lift does not breed

patched for the use of the famishing surYi-

YOUNG NAPOLEON

There was a report in circulation in Paris
at the last dates, that young Napoleon medi-
tated an escape from Vienna, in order to
throw himselfon the affections of the French
people This report strongly comedies
with portion of letter from Vienna, re-
ceived by the Paris correspondent of the
London Morning Herald. The letter comes
from very well informed quarter, and con-
talns heightened account of the person,
manners and habits Of young Napoleon 1t
describes him as very fine young man, ex-
tremely clever, exceedingly amiable, but
little lmpetuous, and not little proud His
heart is said to be entirely French, and he is
represented as having even gone so far as TO
say 1t never shall be bestowed upon any but
French woman. In proof of his alleged
attention to French politics, and his feeling
respecting France, the writer Of the letter
In question gIves the following instances -
The French Ambassador 10 the Court Of
Vienna, Marshal Maison) invited him
Cyoung Napoleon) TO grand entertainment
which he lately gave to the Court, the Min
listers, and the Corps Diplomatiqus. This
invitation excited the young Prince to an
extraordinary degree. "What :" excIaim-
ed he, "ask me to his entertainment Me :
against whom and whose family a law OF
prescription is now before the Chambers OF
France, introduced by order Of his Master

that would accept his invitation Z"
/" Do as you please, said his grandfather
(the Emperor of Austria) TO whom he men
toned it, &c 7 leave you pelec0y free - and
he accordingly declined the invitation
In addition to this, the letter gives anoib-
or fact The Russian Ambassador nj the
Austrian Court happened inadvertently at a
party to say something which young NapoIe-
on considered offensive 10 France 40 in
consequence, sent challenge. TIE affair
was, of course, made up by an apology OF
such nature as may be conceived.
! These incidents have noting alarming in
them but that which follows is, if well
founded, important The writer Of the letter
states that such suspicious Of the young
Prince are entertained by the Austrian Go.

all his motions narrowly. He is the idol o

leagues. The AuStrians have quilted the
posts which are already occupied by the Pa
pal troops, so that they support them on the
second line; they occupy the little fortress
OF Spoleto. Ii is still affirmed that corps is
on It's way 10 Civita Necchia Ii is also af-
firme1 that the Papal troops will attempt to
storm The place after having summoned the
French, and that they will be supported by
the Austrians, who will give them all possible
assistance in case ofneed. This report which
is circulated every where, even at Ancona,
has excited great enthusiasm in Romagna
The inhabitants Of Arcona have protested
That they would not part with the French.

overwhelming a force, and will not expose
themselves 10 so shameful defeat. 1t is

made no declaration, concur TO the utmost
OF their power In investing the place. Yes

letter from FaenZa of the Doth, gives a
list of various attachments of Austrian
troops, amounting TO 1896 men that have
passed through that city.-''All these corps
(says the letter, } have merely passed through
on their way TO Ancona. The day after to-
morrow we expect 200 artillery men with
Congreve rockets.
This very day, too, at o'clock, an officer
who arrived, went TO the Town hall, and
asked how many horsemcn the town would
lodge. He was answered, that there were
porIcoes for several hundreds but he said
that stables would be required, as the troops
that were TO arrive would ROMAN some
time.
People here are fully convinced that the
French will be attacked in their position at
Ancona; and it is very generally believed
that the operations will commence on the
3lst. The Papal troops who occupy the most
advanced posts, are to summon the French
IN the Pope's name to evacuate the fortress a;
if they refuse, the Papal troops will attack
alter claiming the assistance of the Austri-
ans, who will thus appear only as auxiliaries
Of the Pope.

Consolation to BLockheads Though the
most celebrated personages have generally
given, in early youth, the earnest of future
greatness, yet, on the contrary, there have
been instances ofgreat abilities, that gave
no promise of distinction till near the
meridian of life. Robert Of Shelley, distin-
guished for bravery and genius, was in his
youth, as torpid as polar bear Claude, the
artist, wasas dull as dish water; La Fontane
showed no signs of rhyme till his twenty
second year; nor Dryden till he was twenty
seven and Cowper did not become an au-
thor till fifty.
