CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND. 
So great astorm of rain lately happened 
in and about Carlisle, that the inhabitants 
were necessitated to pursue their out-door 
business in boats and carts. Considerable 
injury was sustained, shops and kitchens 
were filled with water; stocks in trade 
were nearly destroyed. The storm greatly 
subsided, leaving a scene hardly to be de- 
scribed. . 
The farmers and landowners of West- 
moreland, have lately forwarded a petition 
to Parliament, praying for relief from the 
overwhelming weight of taxation, and an 
alleviation of their distresses.
