The town of Norfolk is no more! its deftruction happened on new year's day! about four o'clock in the afternoon the fignal was given from the Liverpool, when a dreadful cannonading began from the three ships, which lafted till it was too hot for the Americans to ftand on their wharfs. Our boats now landed and fet fire to the town in feveral places. It burnt fiercely all night and the next day; nor are the flames yet extinguished; but no more of Norfolk remains than about twelve houses, which have escaped the flames." The following is faid to be an authentick copy of the military eftimates laid before the American congrefs, for the charge (in fterling - money) of the Provincial troops, to April the 25th, 1776, from the day each corps engaged in actual fervice, viz.

A letter from Paris fays, "our amusement of horseracing continues ftill; there were two the day before yefterday. The firft between the Prince de Naffau and the Marquis de Fenelon, who both rode their own horfes. The race was for 400 louis d'ors; but the imprudence of a fpectator was the caufe of the Marquis lofing his wager, and very near his life with it. His horfe fell, and the Marquis, who was under him, received a violent hurt on his head. The other race was between the Duke of Chartres and the Duke of Lauzun. The Duke of Chartres's horfe, which won two former races, was beat this time by that of the Duke of Lauzun ; their grooms rode this race, which was for 200 louis d'ors. Their Majefties, and great part of the Royal Family, were prefent at this entertainment, which was rendered more agreeable by the fine weather we have had for fome time." CORRESPONDENTS.
