Marriages and Births; Deaths.

we are informed that they have lately had a gale of wind there, more violent than has been known fince the year 1747. In the interior parts of the ifland great damage was done to the provifion grounds, mot of the Mankiokte (Cafeda) great and fmall corn; is deftroyed; canes that were on Monday remarkably promifing, then lay even with the ground; large tamarind trees, as thick as a man's body, were torn up by the roots; fences and many thatched houfes levelled with the ground; many perfons were obliged to leave their houfes, and feek for fafety in thofe that were built low: in fhort, fuch a fcene of horror might be better conceived than defcribed. Many veffels have been drove afhore and loft, and it was greatly feared, that many in other places had fuffered' by the late ftorms, as that of the 21st of September, was felt from latitude 14 to 46. Several of the vessels that had put to fea were returned, but the greater part were fill out when the letter was written.

There is advice from Tortuga, that great part of the falt works had been deftroyed by a violent hurricane; that three French and five Newfoundland veffels were drove on fhore; and that part of the grand key was beat down by the violence of the fea.
