Petersburg, Sept. 23.  [Report of hurricane and flood]
According to accurate observations, it appears that the
waters rose a foot and a half higher here than in the great
inundation which happened here in the year 1752.  The plays
at the court theatre are stopped for some time, on account
of this public calamity. Arrangements are taking to give all
possible relief to the poor sufferers.
