Letters from Harwich fay, "The ftorm laft Tuesday, the 14th, has done more damage on the coaft of Holland than has been known fince the memory of man; it is horrible to view the coaft; a fcene of shipwrecks from the island of Gorce to Schevelin Bay; the Strand Mailer has found 26 rudders of ships of different fizes; no marks remain to give account of what ships they are, except on the hogheads of tobacco that have been picked up on the Strand, which are marked marked Betfey, 1775, Glafgow, Many oranges, lemons, and cafks of wine, with fquare timber, are floating along the coaft; what is most shocking, not one perfon on board the different fhips is faved, nor one mark of the different fkips. What mafts and yards drove on fhore, are most of them broken and fhivered; only one Gaffell Schuyt, Gut of 16, rode it out in Helvoet roads, by having his anchors clear, and five down ahead of him. "The fhipping in Helvoet harbour, with difficulty, held faft with two cables a-head, and feveral men of war in the bafon broke loote and received damage; the waters were over the tops of the mooring poft along Helvoet key; the waters overflowed the island of Oudenbourg, commonly called Blanckenburgh, which is about three miles long, and two broad; it had feveral farm houfes, &c. on it; nothing has been difcovered but fome drowned hares; the boats laft Thursday failed over the island as if no fuch place ever was there. Letters from the North of Scotland bring difmal accounts of the damages done on that coast among the shipping, that pieces of wrecks and dead bodies are hourly driven on fhore, by which they find that fome French and Dutch veffels have been loft. Several of their own country veffels are alfo mifling.

As he was going alone, according to his ufual custom, to St. Peter's church to pray, he perceived a young man copying with ON Sunday morning laft about attention an alter piece. The B IRELAND. a young lady and her lover, under the chather flopt, fixed his eyes on him without inracter of man and wife, arrived at the Fea- terrupting him, and took delight in viewing thers Inn, in Ledbury, where they continued the young man's work, of which he conall day on Sunday, and after fupper retired to ceived an advantageous idea in proportion as their repofe; but about the middle of the the work advanced. The fovereign pontiff, night they were interrupted by the arrival of by approaching till nearer, diverted the atthe young lady's father and uncle from Bristol, tention of the painter. The latter had not who feized the lady in bed, and forcibly car- yet feen much of the work; he thought that ried her off, an heretic found in a church at Rome, ran the risk of being at least punished, as a Chrif tian catched in a mofque is at Conftantinople; fruck with dread at the idea he fainted away at the Pope's feet, who immediately called for affiftance; fome perfons came in all hafte, and brought the young franger to himself. "My friend (faid the Holy Father to him) I am charmed to fee you poffefs fuch difpofitions for drawing; you do well to copy good pieces; your drawing is very bold and correct; I will get you received among the young pupils that are taught here at my expence.' "Ah! Holy Father (replied the young man in a faultering tone)I am a Proteftant." "A Proteftant (answered. his Holiness) I would rather you were a Catholic; but there are great painters among the Proteftants; religion has nothing to do with painting; I fhall take care to procure you all the neceffary help, in order to render you perfect in your art." The Pope has kept his word, without requiring the young artift to change his religion; he has even ordered that no steps be taken to incline him to change. Ya letter from a gentleman in the island of Allen, near Johnstown, County of Kildare, we are informed, the white boys had lately vifited that part of the country, broke all the windows, &c. of the dwelling house belonging to Mr. Daly, a confiderable tythe farmer, vowing vengeance against him and his family, and threatening deftruction to others of the inhabitants, if they did not fapply them with provifions; they buried a prieft to the neck, firft inclofing him naked in brambles and thorns, and threatened the like ufage to every prieft they could lay hands on, on account of endeavouring to dilluade them from their practices. AMERICAN AFFAIRS. Extract of a Letter from New York, Sept. 8. "We have made a beginning of cafting of brafs cannon in this city. Yesterday a brafs fix pounder, caft by James Byers, was proved with double proof, and flood it; it is as fine a piece of cannon as ever you faw. This city is formed into four battalions, two of which are formed of independent companies, properly uniformed, and make a fine appear ance."
