[From Ohambera's Journal.] The 10th of October; 1780, was a day famous in the history of Barbadoes, on ac count of a terrible hurricane which devasted, the island for three days, Involving the loss of life and property Ws: fearful extent, and which was yearly commemorated by special religious services almost up. to the 11th of August,-1831,- when another similar scourge, far more disas trous in its consequences, though providen- . tially shorter in its duration, swept over the Atlantic ocean, carrying death and destruc tion in its course. The season had been unusually favorable to vegetation; and on the evening of Wednesday; the 10th of August, the sun set on as fair and verdant a landscape as it is possible to conceive of;: theLihqyning of the 11th it, rose on searehed'afid-blasted wilderneas, such no pen• can adequately portray. 'Far as the eye could range, neither a house nor a tree could be seen save as their ruins marked the course of the storm. Corn-fields and cane-patches which the evening before were rich in all the beauty of tropical luxuriance, were brown and withered as though burned by fire. I was a young man then, not twenty years of - age, and-w•as on a visit to a planter, who, with two elderly maiden sisters, resided on his estate ' ' etown, tli Me' a a the'island. The house, two stories-high, with a frontage of about eighty feet, was built of the limestone - peculiar to the country, the walls be ing three to four feet in thickness. The base ment consisted of a dinitig-room, about forty feet long; with verandah in front; facing the north ; at the eastern extremity was alpilliar& - room; and at the western side were the draw ing-room and entrance-hall, from which rose the: staircase, leading to a corridor the whole length - of the house, With the bed-reornS on either side ; and at the back were a harness= room and coach-house, over the former of Which was a share bed-room with.Paper,ofia bluish pattern, from which circumstance it was called the Blue Room; above this again, was a store-room; in which all the choice liquors—old rum, brandy, wines, bottled ale, &c.-L-Were de posited. I give this description of the premises, because it is necessary for understanding sub sequent portions of this narrative ; and I shOuld add that, while this Blue Room - communicated with the other portion of the house inside, there was also a stouts flight of- steps outside, reading to the passage through- which- you had to pass in order to get to the store-room. We retired to our rooms about ten, o'clock. -- Snow, - an - English dog-, belonging-t o=7my-friend;- something between a foxhound and a terrier, followed me into my room—a thing she had never done before. having tucked my mus quito-curtain securely round my bed, 1 lay down—but not to sleep. It soon began to rain heavily. and thundered and lightened. About midnight. I was startled by Snow springing bang through the mosquito-net on to the bed. I kicked her off; but in about ten minutes after she made another bound through a different hart of the curtain, and at the same time I be came conscious of a most strange noise minim ling with the increasing roar of the rain ou 1110 wooden shinOes of the roof, and the IMwling of the whol, and the boom ing of the thunder. (I may as well state here that this gong-like sound was occa sioned by some sheet-copper, loosened from a portion of the roof, flapping against the side of the house.) Hurling the dog to the other end of the room, I sprang ont of bed in alarm, and thought of arousing tny host, to ascertain what this horrible din could mean, for 1 began to suspect that a hurricane was brewing. Ac cordingly I dressed myself: but, concluding that the other inmates of the house must he aware of all that was occurring, and fearing lest I should be laughed at . nest day for hav ing been unnecessarily frightened, I again lay down, though , with my clothes on, ready against any /eur. rgency. Till about three o'clock I thus' remained in terror, reproaching myself for having so ruthlessly repelled the poor animal, whose instinct had prompted her to give me arcing of approaching danger, when my host came to the door and advised me to get up, as the window shutters of the dining-room were nearly all blown in, and the principal door was also burst open. I lost DO Line in going down, and found the whole household at work with hammers and '0 LADELPHIA EVENING BIAJZTIN, THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1870. • were uttered by all Tie-`iwiiiil bad hitherto . . come from the northeast, and the window 'of' ‘ifityrlittle room faced south West.

A wild shriekof deSpSir from the women, and a frantic, rush pell-mell for the door ensued. I shouted,as loud as I could, " Come back I", and having lost their, shawls and handkerchiefs off their- heads, and not being able to see an inch -before them; they unwillingly returned; and well for them they did, for, as we 'discovered.. When day. daWned, the inside staircase Was,gone. All that- I have narrated, thus faroccupied about half an hour • but for two hours, and a half we stood in darkness, drenched with rain, and chilled to numbness' by the wind, praying for help, but expecting death na inevitable from one mon:lent:to another., I placed myself as near the window - as - possible,tewlved that when I found the room going, PW,Ould make one effort 'for dear life by jumping from the window. After a while I became so far calm that I could look Death in the face without fear, and had.my attention sufficiently drawn off rom myself ,as to, be conscious of what some, of. those in the.room near, .say leg. One . poor creature repeated the Lord's Prayer over and over again ;., another .reeited the Creed ; while a third most Vociferciiady and earnestly reiterated passages from the Litany. At six o'clock - the hurricane ceased; and the sun rose, and wehastened to escape from our perilous position, - though, as we descended the stepson the outside, we had to slide down on our haunches, it being then impossible for us to stand against the force of the.blast. As we reached'the little harness-room Which was underneath the Blue-room, a perfect of rain fell for about half an hOur, and then all was hushed, and we began to peer :about, but could not 'realize what we, beheld— ' could not believe that the noble mansion of the day before was a heap of ruins--could not understand how it was that there, were no . trees to be seen; and when I ventured into the garden, and orchard, and neighboring fields, I found the ground strewed' with frag ments of s oars, rafters and beams, and studded with woo ~en sung es,many o t em avmg een hurled into the air, and dashed to the ground with such violence as to be embedded in it so firmly that 1 found it impossible•: to move them.: • • Poor Snow made her appearance about half an hour after we escaped. She was not hurt, but very much scared and bewildered. So thorough was the smash, that the bedstead I. had slept on was never identified - by so much as a splinter: - - - During the following days we heard the re ports from the different districts. Many rushed from their beds as the houses - were -falling.- two sisters hand in band were struck down as they fled : in the mornint , one found . -that the other was dead. Delicate women were picked up with their clothes literally torn .from them by the violence of the wind. In Bridgetown, the scenes presented by the colored population, who are extremely demonstrative under ex citement, were heart-rending, as they sought loved ones who were missing or buried - - under the ruins, for in, those three hours one thousand . seven hundred_hnman beings perished, _ Bun dreds of dwelling-houses were blown down. Not one escaped without damage. Out of thirteen stone -eburchesf-ele_ven-weretotallylevelletlwith the ground. I saw some with walls four feet thick lying iu unbroken masses, cut down about four feet from the foundations. The vessels in the harbor were driven high and dry on shore. A piece of solid mahogany of about four cubic feet was carried from the quay over the roofs of houses, and lodged in the middle of the main street. The chests of linen that. I placed against the door were carried the entire length of the passage, about twelve feet, and one was jammed half-way up the staircase leading to the store=room; the other was deposited in the middle of the store-room floor. In one spot you would perceive what had been an extensive tenement all in ruins, and beside it, within a few yards, still erect and without injury, some insiguilicant outbuilding; proving that in these tempests the wind does not blew•straight from one point, but comes in a rapid succession of whirlwinds, or tornados, as they are termed. I had further confirma tion of this,in observing that trees which were not utterly destroyed, had their limbs twisted cork-screw fashion, such as the tamarind and mahogany trees. The cocoa-nut trees that flouris in these regions, and grow to the height of forty and fifty feet, were demolished by thousands ; and the mountain cabbage, a still more majestic palm, reaching an altitude of ninety and a hundred feet, with a girth taper ing from the root of three or four yards, was snapped, in many instances, a dozen feet from . the ground, as though it had been a twig ; while many a stately mango was prostrated, to say nothing of the other smaller arborets, such as the cashew, the bread-fruit, the plantaini, and bananas. One gentleman whom I knew quitted his dwelling with his wife and four children hand clasped in Land; but no sooner had they got outside the door, than they were all separated, arid .hlowir - in ,different directions.'At (.la.Y7 - break he begun *his search, and having'first found his wife, they eventually came upon all the children, one atter the other, all very cold and wet, but not otherwise injured. It is right , to record that Parliament voted one hundred 'thousand pounds for the relief of the sufferers. Had the storm continued with the same violence for three days, instead of three hours, there would not baye been a soul left alive to toll " how the wind blows: in Barbadoes." A writer inL,the Charleston News, excited over the domestiCaffairs of European monarchs, indulges in this essay : " From the moment when pealing bells throughout the kingdom give joyful tidings of the happy nuptials of kingly Darby and queenly 'Joan, the thoughts of every loyal subject fondly turn to the expected royal baby. The weal or woe of the, superb parents is a matter of small consequence.

LONDON, July `l6.—[Special to the New Tork Tribune.]—The correspondent of the Tribune at Metz expresses the belief that the grand movement across_the frontier will com mence on Wednesday or Thursday. The cen tre and nearly the whole of the right, except t e army o nca, WIC is rapr ly con' brg up, and of which the corps (Pettit is already at band, are' now in line betweeni Blithe and Sarre,guemines. The left-wing, which is immensely strong at *etz and Thionville, will make for Saarlouis and.l3irckerifeld, the right_and centre beading for Kaiserslarten and Thur. This movement will be along-the western slopes of Vosges, although a corps will probably be ordered to move.irr-a.paralletAirection-:along-a line east of that range to watch.tbe defiles, and to give warning of any flank attack by the Prussians. It is not unlikely that the French _army will then dewend the valley'ot the'Nahe and 'that the of Prussia. if he is willing to, fight at all on the left bank. of the ithitie, will accept battle somewhere about- Kreutznaek. The position is strong in itself, and aftbrds a secure retreat upori Mayence. -- With regard to the •thanceSlit Success of the tw_o combatants in the first battle, I believe the -odds are-Immensely in-favor_of_Fra.nce. For the last twelve days she has been massing the whole of her army on the frontier and within one or two marchesjof Bitche - aud Sarregue mines. I have heard of certain battalions be ing sent forward and of others remaining _ be hind7but as far jiid - 5 - .11 - 6. - Freireh are evacuating every garrison - cn nwsse. .1 put SQO,OOO down as the lowest number the Em peror means to have under his hand and in complete communication at the entrance of the campaign, and I believe the concentration now (July 24) to be within forty-eight hours of completion. The Prussians have hardly yet been able to effect such a concentration of strength as the French have done, and I believe, on the open ing of the campaign, either with or without a battle, the Prussians must retire beyond the Rhine. The weather is most inviting for military operations. The country seems made for war, from the absence of fences to embarrass move-• melds. Water, fuel, and standing or shocked corn for forage are to be met with everywhere. There are many villages in which troops might, if necessary, sleep atnight. P.Ams, July 27.—The Journal Officiel of to day says : " We have intelligence that a rumor has been circulated on the other side of the Rhine that the Emperor has given orders that prisoners of war be treated with the utmost rigor, and placed outside . of the protection of the law Of nations. , This report is abstird, and so far is it froin being true, that the Emperor :desires to treat prisoners with the greatest hu manity." A circular from g. Cllivier, citing the dis-, cussion of the question in the Corps Legislatif, says, that journals are only forbidden to men tion the. movements of troops or preparations for active operations. They have the right to speak of •the events of the war in the light of accomplished facts. The Journal acids, as a matter of duty, a reminder to all persons that by the terms of article 47 of the . penal code any person giving intelligence to the enemy of movements of the army,or giving aid in money to the hostile forces, lyill be punished with death, 'The jouriaVrenainds r non-political newspapers that they are-not, entitled to print anything relative to the war. Another circular from the Prime Minister calls upon the ,Hishops to offer, further, prayers to place France, her Chief,: and the noble infant who goes to battle at such a tender age, under the protection of Him who holds hi 'his hands the fate of battles, and the destinies of the pe.ople. At a tithe when our heroic army is on the march; letsui ask God to bless our arms and to grant that glorious and durable peace may quickly :follow the griefs and sa cri liceS of war. • . • - , . PA 111 S, 'July 2t-:—The ,T010wa_..0.1116/e/ -of this morning publishes a decree conferring the title of Regent on the Empress, with authority to exercise the functions of that office.

What was the atti tude of-,Prtissiaithenlt is botan inquiry that is at all clouded. The records announce it. Let us turn back to 1861-2. Mr. Joseph Wright. our then representative, prior to Mr. .ludd,writes to Mr. Seward on the 6th of May, Ib6l, as follows : " Prussia will take efficient steps to sustain the Government of the United States in the protection of property and com merce, and will do all she can, consistently with her obligations to other governments, to sustain the vigorous action of our government in maintaining law and order. " The government and people are in spirit and feeling with us. lam in receipt of hun dreds of letters and personal calls, seeking positions in the American army, and asking for means of conveyance to our shores.' So numerous, indeed, are the applications, that I have been compelled to place ou the door of the Legation a notice, to the purport that, This is the Legation of the United States, not a recruiting office.' " Again,we hear Baron de Schleinitz, Minister of Foreign Affairs, as suring Or Minister that "No apprehension need b entertained as to Prussian subjects en gaging', under the authority of the so-called Confederate States„in fitting out privateers, or in any manner interfering with our com merce." - . Baron Schleinitz also writes to Baron Gerolt as follows : , "The indubitable fact .of the, state of the in testine warfare in which the Union iis . placed is a source of deep regret to the King's Gov ernment. The relations of Close friendship which connect Prussia •and. • the . Government of the United States exist from .the foundation of the Union. • They have endured nearly a hundred years ; never at any time disturbed by change of circumstances, nor in any wise impaired. By a series of treaties, by means of which the improvement of the interests of manufac ture and conimerce•on either side has been eminently developed, the intimate relations between the two States have attained a pros perous durability. At no time, between these two powers, has. any.collisien of aut'agonistic interests found a foothold, .Tho searing flight_ which the internal prosperity of the Union has taken; extending its range from year to year, by means of the bond of unity of the States thus knit together; the commanding at titude Which North America has attained abroad, has been looked upon by Prussia, not merely with no dissatisfaction, but has rather been greeted by her with . honest sympathy." IS it at all singular that our people remem ber these things?. IS it singular that iu this crisis they return and reciprocate. the feeling which was shown them :during their day of peril?
