A letter from Buffalo of the 17th inst. states that a dreadful gale was experienced on Lake E,-,5 me preceding week, which was more vio- lent than ever before experienced there. Two, ‘large scliodners were lost, and it was feared all on board perished. The steam boat Walk in the. Vvater, which plies on the lake, had buffetted the storm without injury. Some of the vessels at Buffalo were driven ashore andbilged. Distrossing S/iifziwrcclc on Lake Onlario.-—Tlie. British schoonerAsp,Capt.Prossey, from Newark ’ bound to Kingston, was lost on the 18th ult. and out of eleven souls, only two survived. The wreck was drifted on the bar at the mouth of Sal- mon river on the 19th, and the two survivors (a gentleman and a young Irish lady) were taken from the wreck nearly exhausted, by a boat from the shore. The following account of the loss of the vessel, is given by the lady passenger z--—. ‘ Left Newark on Monday morning the 16th, with light breezes, and pleasant weather. On Tuesday morning at sunrise, a small cloud was“ seen in the N. VV. The Captain said we should have a squall,'and ordered the‘sai_ls i'eefeil—at half past 8 the squall commenced, with such iiolence we were obliged to lay too, and did not bear away again until Wednesday morning about 8 o’clock, when it was supposed the gale was over——in less man two hours it commenced again with redoub- led violence--liove too, and continued to lie by iintil we capsized. Before noon the schr. had sprung aleak—.-the leak continued to gain on the pumps until the staves were all afloat in the hold. About 12 o’clock at night the cabin bulk head started, and the staves floated into the cabin. At 3 A. M. the vessel being completely waterlogged, fell over on her beam ends—the lanyards were soon cut away and she righted with the loss of her masts.——the Captain continued at the helm, until backwater rendered it useless—~he then ob- served the windlass was all that could save us—— and all that were on'deck immediately crowded around it, but the cold fresh water broke over us continually; death soon began to thin our num- bers-—Capt. Prossey was the last that died ; about 5 o’clock he said he was numb and must die-—-he soon after observed that land was in sight, which were the last words he spoke.’ The dead bodies, 9 in number, were all found in and about the wreck. and decently interred — All the passengers’ property is supposed to have been lost. The Irish lady had been on a visit to her brother at Queenston, who died in May last, and was returning to Quebec on her way to Ire- land ;. the only article she saved was a gold watch which she Cal'lit.‘(l in her bosom. The other sur- vivor was a seaman, and had a. finger broken on one hand, a thumb on the other, and was other- wise much bruised. ,, --O4*>-- THE FRl:‘.SHET. BURLINGTON, Vt. Oct 20. Theiinusual quantity of rain, which fell on Sat- urday and Sunday last, caused the water in Onion river to overflow its banks, sweeping before it many of its bridges, and an immense quantity of grain and other produce. The rise of the water upon the intervales wasso sudden, for a distance of more than 30 miles, it destroyed a great num- ber of cattle and sheep, before any one was sensi- bleoftheir danger. The communication by stages or carriages has been intercepted by the inunda- tion of the waters, between here and Moiitpelier. By the Hallowell and Brunswick papers, we learn that great damage was sustained in Maine, by the freshet. A number of mills and bridges, were entirely destroyed, and others greatly injur- ed. Many cattle and sheep were swept away, to- g.-.iher with a vast quantity of lumber, logs, Etc. It is asserted that Sandy River rose 20 feet, and the Androscoggin 25 feet perpendicular height. It is said all the mills and bridges on Sandy River were carried away, and that one ofthc mills con- tained 4000 yards of Cloth, 1000 of wiiicli was recovered. At Charleston, No. 4, twopmeii cnileavoriiig to save the logs floating duiiiig the flood, were upset and one of them drowned. The I-lai'tfortl Mirror, speaking of the fl‘cSltCl, says--‘ VVe are informed that great quaiiiities of com‘, apples, potatoes, Sac. have been swept away or destroyed, not only on the Connecticut River, but on the smaller streams that empty into it——. much fall feed will also be lost.’ _ PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 16. ‘ During the whole of last night the neighbor- hood was visited with an unusual flood of rain, which, we are apprehensive has done much dam- age to the mill scites. Vtfe untlerstand the pub- lic works on the Schuylkill are much injured. QUEBEC, Oct. 19. The Weatlier-—Tlic tops of the most distant mountains to the northward, visible from this city, were covered with snow on Friday the 13th inst. for the first time this season. On Sunday eve- ning, about dusk, there commenced a heavy rain «which lasted till Monday evening. Many small bridges and fences have been carried away bythe risingof the streams and rivers, which were high- er than they have been known for a great many years,‘ " and in one of the chambers was the counting- bei'-.-yard adjoining the buildinn-.' The fire was not discovered till the flames were bursting forth from’ the windows and roof. Although every ex-A ertion was made to get it under, yet such was the quantity ofliimberand other combustibles in the vicinity, that the destructive element was caught and communicated to the adjacent build- ings almost with the rapidity oflightning. The fire was arrested in its progress north, by the fire proof store of J. N. Clark 8: Co. This building, from the intensity, of the heat without, was fre- quentlyon fire within, but by great exertions the building with its valuable contents was preserved from destruction ;. the rafters now appear to have been burnt to a coal.—But for the saving of this store a considerable number of valuable buildings on the north must have been destroyed. Unfortunately the tide was out, and whilst the flames were making progress south, the very scanty supply of water for the two Engines in that direction, could only be obtained from the pumps at the head of the wharf. It was diflicult to pre- serve the line, which was necessarily so near the "fire that the people were literally scorched : at this time the store of E. 8: J. Shipman, in which was the Marine Insurance Ofiice, and the store" of Mr. Abm. Heston, partly occupied by him as a couiiting-room, and by Mr. J. Darrow as a groce- ry, were on fire, and the «heat became so insuf- ferable that the line broke and formed on the wharf l)el0W,\\’llel'e the tide began to favor them ; the flames soon cut off all communication with those above. The fire had still to pass the store of S. Collis 8: Co. the store of T. Wald, occupi- ed by S. Jacksoii, and the store occupied by E. B-.-eclier 3: Co. before it could reach the large brick store of R. 8»: E. I-lotchkiss. \Vith this building it was hoped to make ti stand against the fire. \-Vhen the flames reached the large qii‘:ui- tiiies of lumber in the yard of R. S: E. Hotchkiss, every ¢:fl‘ort to save their store and stop the pro- gress of the fire proved unavailing. Little re- mained to be done besides saving property ; great quantities of rum and molasses were rolled, and other articles carried across the bridge, out ofd-.iii- gcr. The fire advanced, and destroyed two wood- en stores ofR. 8: 1'3. Hotchkiss, in one of which the Ocean Insurance Office was kept by Truman \Voodward-—three stores occupied by. Prescott 8: Slierman—-Kidston Sc Fe.-nn’s store and lumber- yard——-store of Henry 'l‘rowbridge—two stores of ffotchkiss Sc Flarrison, in one of which was the Sail-Loft of Mr. John Hempsti-.'ad—-and lastly,thc long range of 10 stores owned and occupied by Atwatcr 8: Daggett, Tlios. \Vard, Samuel Lang- doii, Prescott S: Sherman, Bush 8: Beach, Sac--— A building at the end of this range, owned by Capt. Goff Phipps, and occupied by J. Graham as a grocery, was pulled down, and the progress of the fire arrested, about half past four in the morn- ing. The wharf is now stripped of buildings, ex- cept one brick, two stone, and four wooden build- ings‘ below where this fire has wasted-—the stone buildings were erected in the place of two wooden stores belonging to J. Forbes 8: Son, burnt about two years ago. ' About thirty-six stores and ware-houses, many of them filled with W'est-India produce, are re- duced to ashes. Besides these there were seve- ral large storage buildings in rear of the stores, which were destroyed. The new brig Hannah, on the west side of the wharf, unable to move on account of the tide, was in great danger, and it was by the most daring exertions that she was saved--her masts and rig- ging were cut away. A sloop on the east side‘ of the wharf caught fire and her masts were de- stroyed. Several of the sufferers have saved little be- sides their books and papers. The buildings were so generally filled with rum, tar, and other coni- bustible materials, and the yards many of them so blocked up by dry lumber, that the flames baf- fled every effort to subdue them. New Haven was never visited by such a dreadful calamity be- fore. It is very fortunate that no individual was seiioiisly injured during the fire. The principal sufferers are Messrs. Prescott S: Sherman. T. & I-I. Vi/'ard, R. 8: F...Hotchkiss, Kidston 8; Penn, Truiiian \;Voodward, Atwatcr Sr Daggett, E. Sc J.

Indeed there are few of our mer- chants engaged in commerce, who have not suf- fered more or less by this disastrous confiagrai _tion. . “ The loss is differently estimated at from 150 to 250,000 dollars.—Regz'strr. —-TI? 1 BOSTON, Oct. :24.

Pigeons, in r;umbei“exceeding all calculation, have for several weeks been collected on the wa- ters of Sciota Brush Creek, a few miles east of the Furnaces in Adams county. Their roost ex- tends over an acre of ground. To this place they collect in the evening ; and in the morning, they rise in a cloud, and literally darken the air. To persons a mile distant, their noise, when on the roost, seems to resemble the . sound of a distant water-fall. The trees and shrubs which form ll‘lElI“I'O0SI, are bent to the ground by their weight. They are destroying the ,white-oak mast, which is abundant in that district of country,. and fears will not escape their ravages. - Many of them have been beaten down with sticks and caught in the night, by the sunotinding inhabitants. roomof Hinman, Burritt 8: Co." who had a lum- are entertained that the fields of ripening corn, l .>'-‘_ FOREIGN NEWS. ~ ‘September are .

The trade of Birmingham is reduced to a most deplorable state, the manufacturers not being able to supply their workmen with more than three or four days work in a week, and one fourth of the working classes being reduced to the necessity of supporting their existence by relief from the parish.

For some days past, it has been stated that the M d Cevallos, late Spanish Miiiistr.-.r to our court, will return from Madrid, on an extraordinary mis- sion. \Ve already know that the King of Spain has been reqiicsted by his brother-”in—law the Prince Regent of the Two Sicilics. to intervene with European powers established In favor of the new orderof things established at Naples, and M. (l Cavellos is supposed to be instructed to offer the mediation of Spain, and try to maintain peace between Austria and Naples. On the other hand, the accounts from all parts of Italy are_ not at all favorable to the undertakiiig of a war. An alarming fermentation prevails in the provinces of Lombardy and Venice, which gives grounds to fear that the slightest check received by the Aus- trian arms, might be followed by a general insur- reetion of the people of Italy. In the Papal do- minions, letters have been intercepted, which , show that the Carbonari are engaged in a plan to ‘raise all Italy, in case ofa war with Austria.— The Cabinet of Viennais no doubt fully sensible of the hazard of such a contest, and our govern- ment will therefore proceed with circumspection in tliisaffair.’ The above is a private account; but Vienna papers of the 11th Sept. speak of the movement of their troops destined‘ for Italy, and state that Bavaria will act in concert with Austria, and send five regiments to the frontiers.

They have lost almost all confidence in themea- sures of the Cortes, who they say have yet done nothing--meantime the King and his Ministers issue orders that create the strongest doubts of the integrity of their intentions.

Even the wo- . men ofCadiz swear they will defend the gates a- gainst the entrance of the troops destined to gar- public places; ins-tigating a correspondent feeling in all classes.
