I cromenpt, Williams, of the brig Lou- B hom Antigua, we learn that a dread- B Imri ipane arose on the 21st ult. in tlie B®«st Indies, the violence of which was ■•njcularly felt at St. Lucie, Barbadoes, Martinique, and St. Vin y( s » where considerable damage was die ,I PP* n K ant * estates ge ■Mw* * ilic ' e Pale was more severe. ■. the i easels in that port Were entirely 5 'he government house was blown W*' ari( i all •within its wolUj comnr is - '• / \ / h clriw, hi. h »n. all to about 50 persons, were huri ,'!* ruins - Not one survived the I?i!

K 4-. W. dups not furnish any thing in addition thereto. ® At Dominique nearly the whole town was inundated, and the destruction of property immense. Some few lives were lost; the island nearly desolated—Did am" tt # k ?* n 3 r were lost. At Martinique about 50 sail of vessels were driven out to sen from St. Pierre’s, (principally Americana) and having no l “*** a st, provisions, or other necessaries, for a voyage, have probably been lost Only one of the above vessels have been bean] «f a French ship, wliich got into bt. Rustatia. The estates here arc also greatly damaged. At St. V intent's ten sail of vessels went on shore, and were nearly all lost. Uapt. Williams could not with certain ty recapitulate all the horrors which marked (his awfui visitation: at Domin f s i nl as well as St. I Lucie, the devastation was so complete as to amount almost to annihilation It w ill he many years, at least, before those islands can be restored to their former condition. It was reported at Antigua, that his majesty’s ship Antelope, of 50 guns,rear admiral Hei vcy, wras l ist in the gale. She sailed from Pigeon Island for Kar badoes the night previous to the' gale. ■»> <& Washington City, Nov. *O. Wo hear from Annapolis, that the Franklin, tlie new 74, would depart from thence either yesterday afternoon dr on tins day, taking out Mr. Rush and his suite, on his embassy to England. This ship, like our ship Washington, (which sue is destined to join in the Mediterra nean) has attracted numberless visitants to view her exterior as well as interior arrangements, regulations, and superior accommodations lor her passengers, olli cers and crew. She will likely be view ed with much attention even in Plymouth or Portsmouth; and it is not a little cre ditable to our officers and naval tactics, that Mons. Perrong, a lieutenant de Vaisseau, (which gives him imk as a captain of a frigate in the French serv ice) is regulated as a gun-room passen ger in the Franklin, merely to become better informed as (o the improved ma chinery, order, dispositions and celerity, practised in the Americ an shins of war. ■ Lieut. Perrong was readily admitted to this ship through the solicitation of the Marquis De La Fayette to the-President.

To whom kingdoms and empires bow in humble obedience; at whose shrine de cripid age, herculean manhood, and youth and beauty incessantly worship! It is thou, who commanded) tfile Beau to wcarflhe widest part of his pantaloons at his heels; who directed! the tayior tu place two buttons close together on tht middle of his back, and trim the tail of his coat H the sliape of a pair of scis sors!
