Nothing of importance has pafled lately with le fpeft to the movements of the armies.

Yesterday afternoon, a little after three o'clock, by some unfortunate accident, which remains unknown to this moment, a fire broke out in the buildings of the Old Holm, where the ship timber and other naval flores for the fleet are kept. The flames, with an incredible rapidity, still further increased by a yery strong wind from the southeast, fpreud to the great magazine, and also set fire to this edifice so eflential to the state, after the principal tkings kept in it had however been previ ously been saved. While the firemen were occupied here in extinguifliing the flames, the fire also broke out at the fame time in the steeple of the church of St. Nicholas, which lies at the distance of three whole streets from the Holm, and had even escaped in the great fire of 1728 ; the flames not only destroyed, in a very ljttle time, this beautiful edifice, but spread also through all the adjacent Areets, so that at this time almost the whole of Old Holm, the College of Admiralty, and the build ings belonging to it, the edifices along the canal, the old strand, and all the houses situated in that part of the city, are now- eiitirely in aflies. The number of houses already burnt, iseftimated to amountto amount to fe« ▼eral hundreds. 1 he damages which this conflagration occasioned, cannot yet be ascertained, though it is already ettimated to amount to several millions of nx dollars. 1 lie Prince Royal, who hafteuMmmediately with the Princes of Hefle Auguftenburgh and Wurtembirg, to give aHi fiance, was extremely aflive in encouraging the people occupied in getting the flames under; but our fire engines and fire men, which are good in other re fpefls, could have no great effetf, owing to the violence of the wind, which threw large fleaks of fire all ovej the city. The conflagration, especially the fall of the lofty pile of the church of St. Nicholas, exhibited a most terrific and awfully grand fpetf acle. The uity was illuminated all night, as in a fise clear mosnlight night. In this melancholy crisis, of which we can not foretell the termination at this moment, the Prince Royal will probably not let out to the Swe dish camp, to which he has been invited in the name of his Swrdilh. Majeftv, fiyCo;v :s Msrner and Stecnbock, although his depaaure was fixed for next Monday, and pcrfous had been appointed to compoietjie luiteof his Royal Highness. p. s. The fire continues to spread farther and farther, and the whole Guildhall is now in fl.imes ; appreheniions are also entertained for the church of Our Lady, though all possible pains a e taken to save it from the danger. All the houses that have no walls lo refill fire are pulled down to prevent the conflagration spreading farthpr. Both the foldietc and sailors. whose number has been confi dt-tably increased hereby the fitting out of the fleet, have much diflinguifhed themselves. It cannot yet be stated with any degree cf cer tainty how the fire hrtt biokeoul ; feme fay by a copper of tar boiling over ; others fay it has been done on purpose ; but Inch reports are not to be warranted. The fire has already raged thirty hours. Second Postscript. Tin's moment, as the m. il is going the progress of the fire lias been flopped.
