THE NEWS OF THE WEEK.

! BY the arrival of the ship Susquehaunah
at Philadelphia, and the South America at
New York, London papers to the 2ist Dec.
have been received which contain imror-
tnnt news from the Continent.
| "On the 29th of November the southern
coast of England and northern coast Of
| France were visited by one of The most ter
rife hurricanes in the memory of the old
est inhabitants. The list of shipwrecks ia
I frightful. The barque Isabella, Capt. Kurtz,
from Philadelphia to Amsterdam, had been
wrecked on the English coast. The hurri-
cane swept through the midland and south
ern counties, producing dreadful havoc.
Coaches were upset, trees and houses blown
down, and the stocks of farm yards scatter
cd to the winds. Many lives were lost in
different parts of the kingdom, and much
property destroyed by the sudden inunda-
tions which succeeded the torrents of rain.
London did not escape the fury ofthe storm.
but suffered great damages"
In France, great excitement was caused
by the defeat of the army of 1000 men
which left Algiers a short time since, to at
tack Constantine, city which is about two
hundred miles east by south from AIsicrs
- Marshal Clausel, at the head of the expe-
dition, imagined that he would have no df-
ficulty in taking it, inasmuch as the natives
assured him on the march that the inhabi-
tants would receive him with open arms
1t would appear however, that he had
very different reception. On his march he
bad to ford two or three rivers, and three
thousand of his men psrished from the SO.
verify of the cimate-from cold, snow and
rain. But this was not the worst of it.
| When he arrived at Constantine, where he
expected a hearty welcome, the town OPEN
ed fire upon him, and he was compelled
to retreat"
Madrid dates are to the Ilth December.
The reported defeat Of Gomez brought by
the late arrival from Cadiz, at New York,
is not confirmed. At the last accounts bo
was rctreating to the Northward. His es.
cape is attributed to the infdelity Of Gen.
Alaix. The siege Of Bilboa was still car
ried. on by the Caris,s.
Z" The last intelligence from Portugal Is
iraught with a melancholy importance, as
regards The situation Of affair. in that coun-
try, whilst the energies aud efficiency Of tho
existing government are paralysed by do
mes,c faction, cabul, and club at home, It's
very existence is threatened from without
by the movements Of the Migueli,e purity.
to the strengthening Of whose pretentions
tho recent dissentions and violent dis;ruc-
ton have recently contributed. Nor does
!, appear that the success of the Mlguelitc
party would in the least degree lessen the
evil The situation of affairs in Spain and
Portugal is truly distressing. Those pon.
insulsr nations have been for ten year, torn
BY intestine broils, without making one step
in advance, without gaining at slI npor
national happiness"
Jeuers from Rome state that Don Mign-
81 h7' disappeared from iha, city: n.''-r.
