Paris, April 9.  Last Friday great damage was done in this
city and its neighbourhood by a most violent hurricane,
which, 'tis feared, was general throughout the Kingdom.  The
playhouse at Havre de Grace was blown down at the time they
were representing the opera of Sampson, and upwards of 100
persons were buried in the ruins; which being set on fire by
the candles and lamps, the whole was consumed.
