STAUNTON, June 2. TREMENDOUS STORM, On Sunday evening laft a moft diftrefiing florin of rain and hail, accompanied with a very violent wind, p:fted through the counties of Greenbrier, Monroe, Bath, and the upper part of the county, committing fuch ravages among houfes, trees, and fences as have not been known before for a number of years. Houfes, barns and (tables at the Red and Warm fprings were completely blown down, and numbers of farm houfes were unroofed and the field of the farmer laid wafte. In feveral places the roads are fo blocked'up by fell trees, as to render them almoftimpaflable ; this is the cafe as far as our information has extended. The morning fucceeding this deftrucYive florin, the mountains in the neighbourhood of Strouds (Greenbrier county) were covered with fnow. As yet we have heard of no accident having befel any individual otherwife than in the way above related.

LONDON, March 3 1. A veflVl arrived at Gijon in three days The letters brought by her flate, that the people of Afturias, are in high fpirits, and cxprefs an undiaken confidence in the ultimate fuccefs of their exertions againft the infamous opprefiors of their conntry. c We have (fays one of thefe letters) an army of 30,000 men. 20,000 of whom are completely equipped, the remaing 10,000 are armed but very badly cloathed. The reft of the population capable of taking the field, are, for the moft part armed with pikes. April 1. Accounts have been received from, Gijon down to the 24th, which tends to confirm the favourable tidings which we recently communicated refpecYing Spain. The force of the Spaniards in Asturia, was augmenting daily, and they were animated by the warmeft fpirit of patriotifm. The fupply of arms which they have received from this country, has greatly contributed to highten this fpirit, and to fill them with confidence as to the final event of the conteft with the French. The marquis de Roman, according to thefe accounts, occupied Villafranca, and had 18,000 men under his immediate command. There are 12,C00 more at Lugo. It does not appear that the Trench have lately made any acYive movement, and the enthufiafm of the Spaniards, was fpreading in other quarters. If matters Ihould therefore come to a rupture lie tween France and Auftria, Spain will moll probably with the afliftance of this country be relieved from all immediate danger, and inav make the moft vigorous preparations rgainit any further attempts on her independence. April 4. The accounts from Holland Hue that the Auftrians have nude a fudden irruption itro the Tyrol, and that on the 1 7th of laft mouth an acYion took place, in which the French were defeated. March 27. The French have retired from Tagus, after deftroying thr bridge of Arcibifpo ; and the Spaniards are preparing to follow them. Some advances have been gained over the French in Spm. Dutch papers have been ricetved to the 22i hill and tho they do not announce the coirnnrncement of hoftilitics. they atFotd d. ditional proofs tint war is inevitable. The

firft column of Ouuinots armv 33.000 ftroiu is now :t AughSjr. The fecond column filed off through Uim, on the 1ft and proceeded in the fame direftion. The number of the French in Germanv, including ilie Rhenilh contingents, is eftimatcd a: 13'.!C()0 men.

By the Projector, from Canton, we learn that an expedition fitted out at Bengal and Penang, under the direction of adm. Drury for the purpofe of taking poflcflion of Moroa, arrived in Morcoa roads on the 7th of Sept. laft. Immediately after his arrival the adm. demanded of the Portugues governor a furrender of the place, which was peremptorily refufed him, and nothing further refpe&ing it, that negotiations took place till the 30th, when about 300 foldiers, with about 2 or 3 pieces artillery were landed and put in pofTtflion of one of the forts. Previous to the landing of the troops, admiral Drury had made every preparation of

the boats and men belonging to his fquadron for taking the town by aflault to prevent which the governor confented that there fhould be no oppofition to the landing of the troops, and that they might garrifon the forts, upon which however, they were not permitted to hoift Englifti colors. The Chinefe now interfered and ordered adm. Drury to leave the place alledging that he load made an encroachment upon the territclry of the empire, which could not be lubmitted to. He perfifted in keeping his troops on (bore, and declared his determination to hold the town at all hazards. In confequence the Vice Roy of the province iflued an order of the 26th Sept. forbidding the landing of any cargoes from, and fending any on board the Englilh (hips of which there were between 40 and 50 lying at Whampoa. An entire fufpenfion of trade enfued, and continued 3 months, during which time the adm. vifited Canton, attended by all the boats and about 2000 men

irom his fliips. The object of the vifit was to obtain an interview with the Vice Roy, who hautily refufed to admit him into his prefence, and treated him with contempt. On the 19th Nov. adm. Drury ordered all the Englifti fubiec"s to quit Canton in 3

days, and repair on board the (hips or thei

nation at Wampoa. Ten days after he attempted atfother vifit to Canton with the launches and other boats of the fleet ftcongly armed, but was driven back by the Chinefe, who had ftationed fome men of war Junks, 5 or 6 miles below the city, where the boats were fired at and ftopt. From this'time till rhe 20th of Dec. all communication between Canton 8c the fliips at Whampoa, and all fuppliei of provifipns were ftricUy forbidden, and no Englifliman was fufifered to remain in Canton, ur return to that city, and there kept in confinement during the continuance of difficulties. Finding his expedients to induce the Chinefe to connive at or confent to his holding Mocoa, were ineffectual, the adai. abandoned the enteprize, withdrew his troops and left Mocoa for Bengal, about the firft of Jan. laft. As this was a compliance with he conditions required by the Chinefe, the trade with the Englifti was renewed. N. V. Tap. The Moors, fays an extract of a letter from Cadiz, have offered the Spanifli junta, an army of 30.000 troop3 completely equipped, to affift them ajaind the French; the fame letter f.ys the Britilh and Sp inilh combined armies are at Seville, ready to give the Gallic troops a warm reception,
