From the Daily Post Boy, Oct.21. Paris, Oct. 11. We learn
from Liege, that the end of last month a fire broke out in
the village of Hellendal in the County of Scheiden belonging
to the Count de la Marle, and that 127 houses were reduced
to ashes; 23 also for the church, the bells whereof were
melted; the forges were all burnt, as well as the coals, the
corn, wine, and other provisions of the inhabitants, the
curate saved himself in his shirt. This accident happening
in the night the damage is computed as above 80,000 crowns.
