Britain has in America a military force of 15 battalions—winch is a much greater num.. her than the has either in ihe East- or Weit lndics ; and what is a little extraordinary, a great patt of this force is Rationed within the lert.vbi.trt of iue je-vertign and independent States of America. 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. ft ;ic lireets in ♦he town vverealmoft impaf fablc, from tie quantity ot til s, timber, &c. mat was biown troiu the roofs of the hou/<?** The damage done in the country is incre dible.
