The ci.uCUc.ha.cuts at Scmlin (jook lapid

to demomlrate that tbe Turks will never ven

in which they have hitherto, to our coll, suc

which again opens a free communication be

“ The Kufiian Ambaflador, Count Roman

to receive pacific proportions. or to incline

N E W - Y O R K, September ig.
A gentleman who arrived in town yeiter*
day from Martinico gives us the following
narrative of the effefls of a hurricane which
happened at that iila'nd on the 14th of August
1-ft* As he was on the lflaud at the time, and
a witness of the effects of the dorm, and by
remaining there a week after it, he is enabled
to form a judgment of the lodes and damages
sustained.
At iftne o'clock on the morning of August
I4»ii, the wind being north east, the clouds
began to chPeef, the atmosphere to darken,
the wind to rife, accompanied with heavy
rhowers, winch are altnoll lure prelages of a
dertructive hurt icane : B«t at twelve the wea
ther moderated, ami the sea became much
smoother, whic'h eonfiderably relieved the
apprehenlions of the inhabitants. This Mat
tering appearance lifted not long ; it seemed
as it tins ccilation of t?ie elements only served
for the purpofo of collecting their powers to
one pointy m order to rage the more uncon
troled ; for about three o’clock the wind sud
denly flnfied to the north, and blew with afto
-11 tilling fury, 'i he feene now began to be
truly diftieihng. The (hipping in the harbour
got under vfray as soon a3 poftible, fomc by flip
ping, others by parting their cables, excepc
two, which were both cafl away before eight
in the evening. Three of the fleet that went
out were cast away by ten o'clock in Port Roy
al Pay. Two French frigates, which lay in
that fafe baton the Carnafli, drove from their
anchors with the lassos their rudders. The
remaining part of the fleet returned to St.
Petrc —they had loft all their cables, anchors,
and boats* but those that returned received
no material damage, except the loss of a boat,
a cable or air anchor.
The wind hauled by degree to the west
ward, blowing hard all the time. At eight
o’clock at night it was N W. and moderate
for half an hour, but inftautfly ftlifting to the
S. V/. blew heavy again. By nine it hauled
to S. S-. W. and came on with redoubled fury-
Tire feene before being diftrefling was now
terrible in the extreme—the Heavens appear
ed to be in one continual glare of lightning
—the rain poured down as if from sluices —•
the wind ragiu*g as if it had been its last effort
—and the earth trembling under its appalled
inhabitants from the ftwcltof an earthquake.
At twelve o’clock the tempest abated, and
the morning preAmted such a feene of devalua
tion as was never remembered before. Not
a- tingle veflel could be perceived in the har
bour of St. Pierre i large quantities of float
ing timber covered the whole bay, the worth
of which was estimated at 3 or 4000 joes—
very little of it was saved, as all the boats
were either loft or damaged—vail quantities
of it was wathed over the walls from the sea,
but was bruise 1 and broken to pieces by the
violence t £ the waves.
