. On Saturday last this town and the neigh-
borhood were visited with the greatest de-
luge of rain, that has occurred in so short a
time, within the memory of the oldest per-
son amongst us. In the morning there was
a prospect of a plentiful fall of snow, which
•was much, wanted; . About noon, the rain
began, and continued in one mireraiting
shower till about three o'clock on Sunday
morning.. By this time the little river had
bad risen ten leet above its ordinary height.
'The body of ice, o" the thickness of 2 feet,
¦which covered the river—rose with the wa-
ter and broke into large cakes, of 4 and 5
tons weight, which came down with this
deluge, bearing away every thing before it.
About a o'clock the great bridge yielded to
the shock, and fell with a tremendous crash.
The two side piers only are now standing.
Connecticut river rose to a great height,
and 011 Sunday noon tl\e ice in front of the
city broke up and threatened the destruction
of the shipping, which were frozen in.
The ferrying across it is now as good as in
midsummer.
The bridge*; over most of the streams we
have heard from, are carried away. The
damage sustained in mills and bridges, and
other property, must be very great. The
following are the losses we have heard of.
Six bridges on the Hockanuni, in East
Hartford, have been swept oft. The Grist-
Mills of Mr. Warburton, A. Buckland, Mr.
Rockwell, and the powder-mill of Mr. John
Mather, are carried off. A paper-mill, be-
longing to the editors of this paper, was
very much injured. The ice was driven by
the stream directly through the mill, carry-
ing away paper, stock) moulds, and almost
every thing in the lower part of the building.
Almost every mill and dam on that stream,
is more or less injured. Four bridges on
the river between this city and West-Hart-
ford, are also carried off.
Three bridges on Willimantic river, are
carried off; also, a fulling mill of Mr.
Wright, in Coventry, and five baidges on
the Skunkamug rive'.v [_Courant.~\

NEW-YORK, February 10.
Extract of a letter from Charles S'tvan, Esq.
paper-maker and post-master, dated Pat-
choguc, Long-Island, February 2.
" Yesterday morning, about three hours
before day, we were all swept away (ten in
family) by the mill-dam giving way. We
bad just time to escape, and did not save
an article of bed or body cloaths. The
mail, key, and post-office bosks, Sec. were
swept away with the flood."
We are happy to state that the Powles
Hook ferry-boat, which was all Sunday night
in the ice, with six passengers, viz. Casper
Vanvorst, wife and two children of this city,
Peter Van lderstine, and one other person,
besides the two ferrymen, were taken out of
the boat about noon yesterday, by Mr. Gar-
ritt, Fountain, & others, who went fiom the
Whitehall slip in the morning, in a small
skiff, in pursuit of the above boat. Mr. F.
succeeded in getting to the people in the
ferry-boat, but with the greatest difficulty,
as he had to draw the skiiT across several
lields of ice. The passengers had been in the
boat 23 hours, without food, drink or fire,
exposed all night to the inclemency of the
weather, as the boat had no deck, and no o-
tlier shelter for passengers, except a small
place in the forecastle." Mr. F. landed the
passengers about 1 o'clock on Governor's
island, where captain Wylie treated them
in a very hospitable manner, and after fur-
nishing them with refreshments, sent them
ove' in his barge.
Fire /—It is with regret we have to state
that yesterday morning, the sugar-house of
Edmund Seaman and Moses Rogers, esqs. &
the store of George JJarnewall, esq. between
Wall and Pine-stfeets, were consumed by
fire. We understand that Messrs. Rogers 6t
Barnewell were insured, but that Mr. S's loss
is est j ; 00 dollars.

WASHINGTON CITY, February 11.
On Monday Mr. Lee delivered a short
argument before the supreme court of the
United States on his motion for a writ j>f
Habeas Corpus in the case of SamucJ'j
Swartwout. T\j;
Mr. Rodney said it was not bis wish m*
this stage of the business, to make any re-'
marks. If it should be the determination of
the court to issue a writ of Habeas corpus
he should cheerfully submit to it.
The chief justice said the court would
give their opinion the next day.
On Tuesday, Mr. Harper observed that
as the court had not yet given an opinion on
the motion made by Mr. Lee, it was his
wish in connection with Mr. Martin to be
heard as counsel for Dr. Erick Bolhnan.
He said they were induced to make th s re-
quest, from understanding that the court
had some difficulty on certain points, which
had not been so fully examined by Mr. Lee
as their importance merited.
The chief "justice said the court would
hear Messrs. Harper and Martin to-morrow.

From !?>'> Janeiro.
The ship Criterion, capi. Chace, has ar- I
rived at Nantucket, from lii'o Janeiro, which
place lie left the C7th November. Captain
C. informs that admiral Sterling, touched
at that place about the middle of November,
on his way to the River Plate ; in coming
out of Rio, captain C. sjjoke. J.) ves-
sel in 8 days from the Beet off Monteviedo,
who informed him that the English had
possession of a small place called Montertada.
It was said sir Home Popbaatn was to be sent
home under arrest for disobedience of orders.
We are sorry to understand, there are
strong reasons to believe, that the recent
reports of a treaty having been concluded
between this country and Great-Britain, are
without any foundation in truth. [/_.•//".]
The imperial decree which declares the
British islands in a state of blockade, was
published at Milan on the 12th instant-—to
this publication was appended a decree of

to insure the execution of this grand mea-
sure throughout the kingdom of Italy.
Buenos-Ayrcs. -The report of the capture
of Buenos-Ay res reached London 9th No-
vember. Upon this report a London paper
remarked," it comes from a very suspicious
channel—the gentlemen whom we call cap-
tains, and are accustomed to believe as such,
the masters of merchantmen—are not ex-
actly entitled to that credit we give them.
It is an established point of waggery, we be-
lieve, among these gentry, to deceive the
people, & the more attrocious the falsehood
the more complete the jest. If something
like a public ducking-stool, a royal celd
bath were erected on the Thames for these
American Reporters, it nrigh'. doubtless cor-
rect their taste for wit, and teach them, that
nations had their feelings as well as indivi-
duals." It then gives instances of abomina-
ble stories reported from time to time by A-
merican captains ; among them that the W.
India islands had been entirely plundered or
subdued by the French. We have given
this extract with two views : To shew the
little credit the reports (whether true or
false) of American captains receive in Eng-
land ; and with a hope they will exercise
more judgment and caution. No official ac-
count of the recapture of Buenos-Ay res had
been received at London 5th December.

An article of the foreign news (which we
did not copy yesterday) under the N. York
head, states that the Russians had burnt the
suburbs of Breda'W, (the capital of Silesia).
Editors, or Proof-sheet readers, would do
well by correcting the mispolling of names.
From the error above mentioned it would
appear, that the Russians were committing
depredations in a country directly in the
rear of the French army. Breslaw is in the
possession of the French, as is an immense
extent of country north and east of Silesia ;
and the Russian forces (if in force at all)are
flying east, before the conquerors, & beyond
the Vistula and Oder. Is not all Prussia-
Poland encircled by Napoleon's legions \
and has he not overran all the country from
the Rhine to Warsaw, and from Bohemia
to the Baltic ? How then can his opponent
be supposed capable of sacking cities in Si-
lesia •
