It‘RESHE'I‘.--It fallsto ourlot torecordthis
week,-the occurrence of a freshet unp_arrallel-
led for mbre than thirty five years. On Fri-
day evening last, the wind coiiitiienccd blow-
ing a -gale from the south-east, and a toi‘r_eiit
of rain was pouring upon the earth throughout
the nighti‘ but ceased on Sattii-day morning.
The" Keiinebec was at this time covered with
ice, of an average ihicktiess of at least twenty
inches; and as the river was not greatly s\v0l--
len on Saturday afternoon, at the usual time-
of high water, it was generally supposed that
the great thickness of the lce would prev_enl

above this village. At this time, the water
being four or five feet deep on the wliarves, 8

at the end of the upper or long ‘wharf. “'35

and a small quantity of \V00‘l: l,“mbe": 955°-
was lost. In the tiieaii iitne most iiielanclioly
accounts oftlainage done were received from
I-Iallowell. The iceliavingjtittiiied below that
village, formed a dam, and the water was al-_
ready ittutidalitig the village, sweeping oil
buildings, filling the lower stories of the stores
on the river side of the inaiit street, and. de-
siroyiug large quantities of perishable article.-
contained in them. Allihe vessels 0" the
stocks at that place were swept away, and 4
or 5 scliooners were driven froiti their moor-
ings, and hail appeared in sight of this village,
fast wedged in the (at that time) immovable
mass of broken ice. About 12, the water a-
gain began to rise,aud continued rising till 4,
when it had attained its former height, and
tlten a great body ofice, which had accumll
lttted for a mile above this village suddenly,
started, and with tremendous force, rushed
down upon its. The scene, at this time, beg-
_ gars all description :—-to lta_ve been realized,
it sltould have been witnessed. To give oin-
distant re-adeissoiiie ideaofit,ne will attetnpt
a faint sketch.
On the upper wharf, and directly by the
side ofthe warehouse before tneniioned, as
having been carried away, stood a large buil-
ding. used as an ice-house, and containing at
the time nearly 100 cords of ice. P'tl‘ed a-
gaiust it oti the wharf, and reaching to the
street, were 500 or 800 cords of wood.
This wliarf, with the formidable barriers
upon it, was anxiously looked to, as forming
the only possible protection to the property on
the wliarves below, and the vessels, 5 in ntim-
bcr, lying in the docks. Iftite barrier above
was destroyed, it was seen that all below must
be swept away. The sole attention of the
ntititlrcdsof spectators, who viewed with iti-
lt‘.tiS(’.lnlel'CSl the ripproachiti-__r, shock, turned
to this poim. It came-—ilie ice leaped 20 ft.
front the surface ofthe water upon the house;
it withstood the shock. Cake upon cake-—
ina.-s upon mass, pressed upon the rear ofthe
firgt—still it stood. A small schooner which
lay it few rods above, was dashed by the ice
agzttnst a house, and in ii moment was shat-
tered into pieces, as easily as one would crush
on egg shell. Logs, twenty feet in length, 8:
three feet in diameter, reared their whole
lengths, and fell upon it-—siill it stood. For
two minutes the conflict seemed doubtful——in
two more it was decided---the barrier remain-
ed, and the great aniouiit of property below,
tune chiefly Euvonlu Tlic Urcnclrtcsa dII.\l(:‘.l_V 0!
the spectators, during this sublime scene, can
be inure easily conceived than described. ;—-
and a stitltlen shout ofjoy burst forth, when
the careering mass sheered off from the con-
test. _ Attention was now turned tothe com-
pact tnass ofice, logs, trees, lumber, 8z.c. float-
ing rztpitlly by, in the midst of which were
itnbedded 5 scliooners, hurrying to what ap-
peared certain destruction. The ice proceed-
ed but a tnilc or two, when it was stopped be-
lotv, and jammed in so as to catise the water
to rise rapidly, to at) unprecedented height in
this villztge. l
At 6 o'clock the water had risen thirteen
feet above the comtnon high water ark. At
seven it began to subside, and in 224 tours hail
fallen 2 L ft-et. ; and no ftirtltcr tlatnage was
npprclietided. The loss sustained cannot now
be ascertained ; but it is thought, that at this
place, it will not exceed 85000. The chief
guiferers are R. H. Gartliiier, Esq. and J. I’.
Llunrer SLCO. The loss ofthe former is the
trareltousi: which tiow stands in the dock, and
.1 considerable portion ofthe causeway across
the basin ofthe stream, which was pressed by
the ice seteral rods from its original position.
The Messrs. Hunter have lost a great ntmiber
oflogs. Tltt.-re were but few goods in the
warehouse, and they were owned, as we un-
derstand, in Augusta. The other items of
loss are a boat builrler’s shop belonging to Mr.
Patten, wlicii stood by the side of the ice-
house, anil was crushed by the ice and logs
driven upon it; the fishing sclir. of Enoch
[)i||, riiieiiy destroyed: small quantities of
salt in smile of the lower stores ; wootl, lum-
ber, lécc. and some daniage to one or two ves-
_,e|s_ which now lie upon the wharves. Op-
posite this village, in Piiiston, a large brig on
the stocksibelougiug to J. N. 81. A . Cooper,
was lifted from her blocks, but was not tiiuclt
jnji)i'e_'l—-i.llF3_y also lost lor 9.1 small l’)llll(lll')f.‘,'S.-
At l-lallr.-wel the destruction w>_i_s very great.
The partiqilzirs we cannot give, but the low-
nit esiiniaic of loss at that place, tvl;icli we
have ll8'¢ll‘I‘i made, is $20,000. It probably
exceetls tlitit stint. Thirty or forty families,
we have been l.0l(l, were obligetl to abandon
their houses or flee to the upper stories. Au-
gusta has also suffered severely, as has every
town on llll! river more or less. Tltebritlge
at Watervile, we hear, is principally destroy-
ed, Two or three small bridges between this
andAugusti are so inuclt injured as to be im-
passable.
Some idea of the great pressure ofthe mo-
ving ice mly be formed from the fact, that an
elm tree five feet in diameter, siiuatetl in the
sliip yard tll'Capt. J. 'I‘;irbox, standing many
feet from high water mark autlproiected by
a high poitit ofland above it, was completely
rooted frotu the earth.
The ice is otily broken two or three miles
below this place , EL .1 dam is formed between
this-place and Hallowel, whiclt it is tho‘t must
remain some days, and until it is principally
wasted away by the influence ofthe water &.
the sun.

Congress from the President, stating, that
subsequent to our Convetitiou with Colombia,
a treaty had been concluded between that
Republic and Great Britain, by which it was
stipulated that no other or lll:_’,ll‘.’r duties on
account of tonnage, light or harbour duties,
should be imposed in the ports of Colombia,
on British vessels, than those payable in the
saute ports by Colombian vessels; and that
the same duties should be paid on the impor-

either nation. The Government of Colom-
