XIV.] THE KING'S VISIT TO THE CONTINENT. • CASSEL, DE P RTM LNT DU No IiD,SEPT. 26.-1 make no uoubt hut your regular correspondent from Calais has informed you of the time and manner of his Britannic Majesty landing there. The Inspector General of the Posts had provided this place with an additional supply of post horses, and yesterday the garrison of Bergues (with the exception of the men on duiy), which con s sled of the 22d regiment of infantry, and also two squadrons of the Pith regiment of dragoons, marched in here to receive his Majesty with military parade. The went couriers, whit.h passed through this town very early this morning, said, his Majesty had slept the preceding night at Calais, and might be expected here at two o'clock, P.M. The Marquis de imuillac, Cot 1111 l ander in Chief of the Deparunent do Nord, passed through about one,and gate his commands to the field officer ou duty here. The infantry then proceeded to line the street, and the road about a mile in length, forming' une hair',' as they term it, about twenty yards asunder, white the grenadier companies and the dragoons hunted the guard of tmour. About half past two o'clock this afternoon, his Majesty's carriage entered the town, and proceeded through the streets at a foot pace. The sok diers presenting arms as his Majesty passed, then formed into file and followed the carriage—port arms. When the carriage arrived at she Port aux Crievaux, the grena diers presented arms, and the cavalry rendered similar honours. lite horses were all in readiness; the fronts of ill the houses were filled by ladies, and a great con course were assembled round the post-house. There were several English present, who took off their hats, and which was followed by the French in view of the royal carriage. His Majesty immediately let down the window and bowed to the officers on duty; he took much notice of the Admiral's fine children, and entered into conversation, with real condescension and kindness, with Admiral Wilithorp and Captain M'Killop. The Mayor and all the authorities were present, and saluted. In his Majesty's carriage were the Marquis Conyngliam, Lord Greases, amid Dr. Knighton. The Duke of Wel lington and Marquis of Londonderry slept here on Monday night, and set off next morning early for Bros sell. Sir Edmund Nagle, Sir Andrew Bernard, and Lord Francis Conynghatu, followed his Majesty hi another carnage. The royal party would sleep to-night at Lille, and would reach Brussels nit Thursday. Extract from a private lever dated Brussels, Sept. 29 His Majesty departed from Lille for Brussels (Li Thurs day morning at ten o'clock. The last stage to the latter city he wa. drawn by six horses of the King of the Netherlands, attended by an escort of hussars. His Majesty itnmediately ;proceeded to the house of Lord Clancarty, situate iii the Park, where the Duke of Wellington, the Marquises of Londonderry and Conyng ham, and Sir B. Blomeifield, were waiting to receive him. A body of inlantiy was drawn up before the Ambassa dor's house, with the state band of music, which struck up on his Majesty's arrival the national anthem of God sure the King.' His Majesty was dressed in a plain dark Mown coat, and appeared to be in good health and spirits. He was well received, but the populace were not numerous. A nuMbet of English gentlemen had placed themselves near the entrance to the Ambassador's house, by whom the King was enthusiastically greeted. His Majesty appeared highly gratified with this mark of attention, and acknowledged it with his usual gracious ness. About a quarter of an hour after his arrival the King of the Netherlands came in his coach drawn by six horses, escorted by a body guard, to congratulate hint un his arrival. His Majesty dicl not leave Lord Clancarty's house that evening, but partook of a fete prep 'red for hint t! re, with a select party. The small Theatre at the trout of the house and some few houses to the neigh liourlmod, as well as the great Theatre, were illuminated. Int Friday his Majesty visited the Theatre ; and SALIN iky, we understand, was fixed for his sisit to the field of Waterloo, accompanied by the Duke of Wellington Ile was also to be gratified with a review of the Belgian troop s at Brussels. Monday morning was fixed tor his departure for Hanover. At Tournay, which is in the Belgian territory, the authorities had neglected making ally previous arrange ments, and the consequence was, that the royal suite were delayed au hour and a half waiting for horses. An English Gentleman, who has been a resident here for 34) years, informs me that the Belgians detest the people id out country. This day our Sovereign will cline alone in his apart ment, and afterwards his Majesty will honour the Theatre with his presence. The Ducnecs of Devonshire as here, and wasolie of tile party yesterday at the palace.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1821. At seven o'clotk -7 Precisely, his Britannic Majesty entered his box, accompanied by the King and Queen of the Netherlands Alter bowing to the latter with his wonted grace, he handed her Majesty to a seat un his right, and the former took a chair on the left of his august visitor. The moment our Sovereign presented himself the whole audience rose with one accord, and the orchestra struck tip Cod sure the King, while his Majesty bowed repeatedly in acknowledgment of their attention. He was dressed iu the uniform of a Field Marshal, and wore the insignia of a Belfzian Order— His Excellency the British Ambassador sat behind the chair of his Royal Master, anended by the Officers of his Majesty's Household ; and the itersonal suite of his B.:lgian Majesty was exceedingly brilliant.— The curtain fell at ten o'clock precisely, and " God save the King" was again played as his Nlajesty retired. The Marquis of Conytigh tin, while siting in the Ambassa dor's box, related an anecdote that made those around him laugh heartily. He said that while travelling in the Royal catriagc from Calais to Lisle, the people in many places mistook hint for the King, and incessantly cried out " fire le Hot d'Anglelene 1" making, at the same time a profound obeisance. The Noble Marquis felt quite embarrassed at having thus involuntarily usurped the honours of his Sovereign, and was anxious to hide himself front the acclaiming innltitude. How ever, in order to do this, he was subjected to no slight inconvenience; tor being of more than ordinary stature, he found it necessary to coil up his frame in a cornet of the carriage, and to hold his heath dose to his knees, a posture which his Lordship tepresented as by no means pleasant on so long a journey. His Majesty enjoyed the scene exceedingly, and rallied the Marquis on the awk ward predicament in which he found himself—' What, Conytighatn," said his Majesty. " hare you, not yet learned to play the King? Bow to them, man, as I would."—Chose who have seen his Majesty make a bow, will readily admit that he would not have im posed upon the Noble Marquis any injunction less likely to he obeyed!!! BRUSSELS, Ocr. I.—The King left Brusse!s at half past nine this morning. His Majesty appeared in ex cellent health and spirits. II is Majesty was accompanied as tar as Sombref by his Grace the Duke of Welling ton, and In Isis way thither, passed over the fields of Waterloo, Quartre-bran, aotl Ligny, with the sight of which he seemed highly gratified. His Majesty quitted Sombref at hall.r.ast three p. Pc on his way to Namur, where he proposed passing the night, and proceeding, on the following day, to Aix-la-Chapelle, and thence by Dusseldorf, to Hanover. AMERICA. -......-- ALARMING FIRES IN THE WOODS OF MATH AND NEW BRUNSWICK. BOSTON, SEPT. 2.—A gentleman who arrived here on Thurs day in the schooner Active from Eastport, informs, that the drought in the neighbourhood of St. Croix river, the present sea son has been unusually severe, and that the tires in the woods have raged to a more alarming extent than ever before known. Several buildings have been burnt in the parish of St. Stephen, on the British side of the river ; others were saved with great difficulty. From Colds to Eastport, almost a fortnight since, the vessel our interment took passage in was entirely enveloped in smoke. From the Devil's Head great daroag,e has been done to grain, fences, timber. bark, &c. The tire in various places has been burning for six weeks. There had not been rain enough for eight weeks to wet the ground • the crops of potatoes, it was expected, would be entirely cut off. SAVANNAH, SEPT. I.—On the evening of the 2til ult. a tornado, accompanied with huil, thunder, and lightning, was experienced at Tybet Island, which blew down the northwest wing of the United States' barracks, and destroyed many of the panes of glass in the light-house. Sono: of the hail is said to be an inch in diameter. . . .= MEXICO. Paws 90. . We have received, by way of Havannah, ;went:3 and letters from Vera Cruz to the 29th July. The city of Mexico has been the scene of transactions si milar to that which took place at Lima in January last, when the Viceroy, Pamela, was deposed from his high office. Apodaca, Conde del Venadito, the Viceroy of Mexico, hits long been considered, by the Spanish Government, unfit for a trust of such import ance, at a period when the utmost firmness and wisdom were requisite to preserve that valuable colony of Spain; and O'Donnju, the successor they had appoint ed, had, by the latest accounts, passed Havaanah in his way to Mexico. Hut Apodaca, in the mean time, became still more unpopular with those under his command than with those to whose control he was subjected; and the officers of his own army at length determined on becoming the instrument of his depo sition. A meeting of the principal officers was held, and after a very short deliberation, an intimation was conveyed to the Viceroy, that he could no longer be permitted to hold the reins of power. They also named as his successor the Camp Marshal Don Francisco Novella, an officer of highly popular manners, and beloved by the army, attached to the cause of Spain, and a strong advocate for the adhe rence of Mexico to that country. This bold measure was 'dunned with so much prudence, that Apodaca had no resources left to counterwork it, and saw that resistance was vain. He, therefore, on the hth of July resigned his office, stipulating only for a passport for Spain, with attentions suitable to the high rank he had held. The papers from Vera Cruz also contain some par ticulars of an unsuccessful attack on that city by • portion of the independent force under the command of Santa Ana. He had the temerity, it appears, to attack Vera Cruz on the morning of the 7th July. with a force not exceeding 500 men, who, after an obstinate contest, met the fate that might have been predicted, from the rashness of their commander. Of the whole number, only 100 escaped, the remainder were all killed or wounded. NI:V/ You►, SEPT. W.—Captain S. ►►ever, arrived yesterday afternoon from Angostura and Laguita, informs, that the Patriots were besieging Puerto Cabello, and with good prospect of sac• Le,,. Captain H. carried the chief director of Angostura and several officers to Laguira, on business. AWFUL HURRICANE. . _ DUTCH MAIL. HAnnunou, SEPT. 29.—The day before yester. day the Russian Ministers here had two couriers, within a short interval of each other. The first came from Berlin, the other from Stockholm. Since then a report is in circulation that the differences res pecting the afftirs of Turkey, notwithstanding the moderation of the Courts interested, not only conti nue, but that the negotiations do not promise the pacific results which the magnanimous and humane monarch of Russia wishes, and has a right to expect. On the other hand it is affirmed, on the authority of accounts from Berlin, that the Court of St. Peters burgh has sent a circular note to the other Powers, communicating the contents of a despatch from the Grand Vix:er to Count Nesselrode, adding, that it by no means satisfies the just demands of the Em peror, and that his Majesty, consequently, proposes ti call together an European Congress upon this subject, ut which u Turkish Ambassador should be press nt.

From the Norfolk &aeon, Sept. 41 Yesterday, - between the hours of ten o. and one r. M. our town was visual by a tremendous hurricane, accompanied with torrents of rain, commencing from the N.

Among the edifices which have sustained the greatest danukre, we regret to state, is the Episcopal Church, part of the front of which, above the cornice, being blown in, the organ was en tirely demoltshed, and much other damage done to the interior t the Court House was partly unroofed, and one of the chiumies blown down ; two of the chimnies of the Farmers' Bank were blown down, and the back window; of the Hulk of Virginia much shattered. The chininies of many dwelling boost* were blown down, and other damage sustained.

The drawbridge across Elizabeth river. next to Norfolk, woe e entirely swept away in the early part of the hurricane, and will minim considerable time and expence to replace it.
