Mr. Davids Extracts from the Peking Gazette. 



Note. The summer and autumn of 1824 have been remarkable for the 

 number of violent north-westerly gales, or typhoons, in the seas adjacent 

 to China. No less than twO European ships were wrecked on the coast of 

 Hae-nan alone, and numbers suffered the loss of their masts, &c.
