She was an affectionate wife, a tender mo ther and a sincere friend. She has left a distressed husband and two small chil dren, with a large circle of friends to la* ment her loss — Yet blest thought, She is not lost, but gone before. Savannah , October 11. Since the Hurricane of 1804, we have experienced no such gale as that of Wednesday last. On Tuesday we had a pretty fresh breeze all the day, from about N. to N. E. It increased to wards evening, and continued to blow with considerable violence on Wednes day morning, which raised the tide to more than its common height. There being a considerable fresh in the river, the planters on the different islands be gan to be alarmed, and they had but too good reason, for the gale increasing all that day, brought in such a tide in the evening, as to alarm the wharf own ers and those who had property stored under the bluff. Luckily however, it did not rise so high as to do much in jury to them, hut the Planters have suf fered most severely. The tide meeting the fresh, it raised the water over eve ry bank on Hutchinson’s Island, and the Rice stacks which had been so well and so safely gathered, were generally surrounded with from three to four feet water. Farther up the river the fresh was more severely felt, and those who had made large, high and substantial banks, to secure their barn yards, had the misfortune to see them either brok en by the violence of the current and wind, or filled from leaks and rain wa ter. In consequence of which, every crop that was not previously removed to the high land, or placed on knolls, has been much injured. Except a boat of Mr-, white’s having upset, and four Ne groes perishing, wc have heard of na other lives lost. The loss of Rice, however, will be immense ; although it has not been generally carried away, it is all soaked in water, and the tides still keeping up, will prevent the Planters from saving what otherwise might have been preserved. It is impossible for us to estimate the extent of the loss ; one gentleman however, assures us that he had reaped what would have produced him 800 barrels Rice, which is now damaged with water, and from which, with every exertion and good weather, he does not expect to save the value of 200 barrels. The Cotton Crops must also have suffered as well as the other Plantations in the reach of tide water—we have no accounts but from the immediate vicin ity of this place.

A Poston paper of September 18, says—“ His excellency the Tunisian Ambassador, with his suite, sailed yes terday for Tunis, in the ship Two-Broth ers, chartered by government, for the purpose of taking his excellency home.” It is stated in a late Paris paper, that the Emperor has granted permission to export grain from France to England. The successor of Yrujo is said to be already arrived in the United States.— Yrojo has been engaged in the construc tion of machinery for mills for grinding of grain in Spain ; the mills are to be wrought by steam—the steam engines are made or to be made in England, and the mill work here ; the work is carry ing on near Schuylkill, not far from the bason of the city aqueducts—and ap pears to be not nearly finished- Aurora, Baltimore , Sefit. 12. FROM HALIFAX—Avgust 8. “ Captain Whitby, of the Leander, was sometime since superceded in the command of that ship by captain Hum phrey, from England. The Leander sails for England between this date and the 24th inst. Capt. W. goes passenger in her, and a strict enquiry is to be made into the unfortunate occurrence off New-York. He is permitted to take home such officers as he may think ne cessary to bring forward in his defence. “ In his majesty’s instructions to flag officers, captains, See. &c. dated on the 29th of May last, I find the following paragraph : “ Representations having been made, that neutral ships are frequently detain ed upon frivolous grounds, you are here by further required and directed not to interrupt any ships under neutral flags engaged in trade not prohibited by law, except upon proof, or strong ground of presumption, that the ship or the goods belong to his majesty’s enemies ; and you are particularly to bear in mind, that neutral vessels, conveying cargoes between this country [England] and the ports of the enemy, carry with them a strong presumption, that the propertyis either On British or neutral account, and engaged in a legal trade : his majesty having, in consideration of the present state of commerce, been pleased to al low that trade, to be carried on by Bri tish and neutral subjects—it is therefore proper that such trade should suffer as little interruption as possible. (Signed) “ H. NEAL, « RUSSELL, “ KENSINGTON. “ By command of their Lordships, “ B* Tucker-” “ The above instructions from the lords of the admiralty, were received on this station by his majesty’s ship Leopard, and I have further understood, it is the wish of the admiral here : that no neutral vessels should be detained on light or frivolous grounds.” New-York, Sc/it. 18. A letter from Naples, of the l?th Ju ly, inserted in one of our last French pa pers, contains the following account. “ On the Ist July, 6000 English dis embarked at the gulph of St. Euphemia, in Calabria. They .were attacked on the 4th by the general of division Reg nier, with the Polish regiment and 42d of the iihe, who were warmly repulsed. General Compere, grievously woiinded, and 300 Poles were made prisoliets. The English having been joined by a reinforcement of 300 men, and by 3 or 4000 Calabrian insurgents, cbmmitted the error of advancing into the country, and quitted the protection of their ves sels. Within a league of Cosenxa they were furiously attacked, by the general ofdivision Nerdier, at the head of 10,000 infantry and 2000 cavalry* The En glish were beaten, put to the route, and at the moment of writing 1800 English prisoners arrived at head-quartets. General Verdicr is in pursuit of the fu gitives. On the other hand general Regnier having marched to Cotrone has given up to pillage the village de Lisso la. Five hundred Calabrian revolters have been put to the sword* ' > September 20. A gentleman who arrived here yester day from Leghorn in the ship Connecti cut, capti Story, has favoured the editors of this Gazette with a file of Italian pa pers to Uie'Sdth July, from which the following is translated. “A letter from Naples of the 29th , July, contains the following official note of the surrender of Gaeta. “ Yesterday the 18th, at 6 p. M. the fortress of Gaeta surrendered to the French. As soon as the great breach ■ was formed in the citadel, at the foot of the counter-scarp, which in extent was sufficient to cantain 16 men in front, 1 three columns of French troops were ready to ascend it; and the grenadiers 1 which composed the first, waited with glorious impatience the signal of as sault. “ The Marshal Massena demanded the surrender for the last time. The besieged asked for several hours delay, in order to obtain the permission of the Prince Phillipstadt (who it appears by another paper had been wounded, and repaired on board a British vessel); but they were answered, that in an hour, the place would be taken by force of arms. The appearance of the columns ready to march at a moment’s warning, a breach already made and easy to be mounted, . and the security ol being treated agree- ' ably to the laws of war, were the potent J reasons which induced the garrison to , capitulation. “ The garrison are prisoners of war, with permission to march off’, but not to serve in 18 months. The artillery and magazines were delivered to the French in the state in which they were found. The other articles are as yet unknown. “ The artillery of all the forts of the capitol, this morning announced this im portant event.” The undersigned,his Swedish Majes ty’s commercial agent general, near the ' United States of America, requires that i the printers throughout the U. States, I will publish for the information of mer j chants and others concerned, the foilow- I ing note from his Swedish Majesty’s grand marshal ot the kingdom of Swe-' den, count de Fesen, dated Stralsund,! the 16th May last, with the proclamu- : tion referred to, of the 27th of April, do. RICHARD SODERSTROM. Philadelphia, Sept. 13,1806. Note.—Communicated by order of his Swedish to the ministers of the two allied courts (Russia and G. Bri tain) accredited near the king. In consideration of the various mo tives, detailed in the note of the under signed, dated the 27th of April last, he has the honor by the express order of j the king his master, to inform Mr.—— 1 that his majesty has thought it necessa ry to order out the squadron equipt at Carles Crcma, for the purpose of block ading all the ports ot his majesty the king of Prussia, on the Baltic, from the frontier of the Russian empire, to that of Swedish Pomerania, as also the mouths of the Pregel, Vistula, Fder and Pene. , All that is precribed in similar cases by the existing treaties, with allied and neutral powers, shall be faithfully ob served by the king’s squadron, and they shall also find in the tenor of those trea ties themselves, valid reasons to justify them in opposing every attempt which : may be made to evade the blockade of I the coast and ports aforesaid. »I Mr. —is requested to communicate to his court the contents of his note. The undersigned avails himself of this opportunity to renew the assurance, ect. (Signed) COUNT DE FERSEN. Grand Marshal of the Kingdom of Sweden. Mr. RichardSodersthom,.'} Commercial Agent General, y Philadelphia. J Strulsund , 6th May , 1806. Philadelphia, Sefit. 17. The following curious circumstance occur cd on Tuesday last , at Aft'. George Py re’s shipuard, Kensington. On heaving down the ship Pennsylva nia Packet, lately from Canton, in c ider to discover a small leak, which she find experienced on her passage home, it was frund that she bad been struck about 6 feet below the bends by a sword fish, which hud driven its tusk or sword through the copper sheathing and bot tom plank, to the ceilifig inside; and being unable to draw it out again, had left it remaining in the bottom, and broken short off outside. The force with which it was driven in, was so great as to splinter the plank and cause the leak. Had the sword been withdrawn, *tis pro bable the ship would have made more Water than could have been lifted by the pumps. Part of the swords was cut off in extracting it, the remainder mea sures ten inches long, and nearly two inches in diameter. AUGUSTA PlilCK-CUPPKKT.
