letter from that city, are as follows :
" Yesterday, October 26, between
twelve and one. o'clock, this city was
thrown into the greatest consternation
by an earthquake. Thc.shocks which
succeeded each other, for ten minutes
and an halfy were so violent, that all
the cbimnies were thrown down, seve
ral houses and some churches also
tumbled to pieces ; that of St. Nicho-
. las, and the famous tower of Golcza,
arc nothing but a heap of ruins. 1 he
earth burst open.at several places, and
greenish water whjr.h diffused a sul
phurous odour throughout the whole
city spouted up througa the hpsuses
At fire o'clock the phenomenon was
' renewed, but tht shocks were less vio
lent, and occasioned no damage. Not
withstanding the great number ofedi'
fices thrown down during the' first
commotion, no persons have perished
except a Jo, -ss, with her child, am!
two others. Prince Yrpilanti, the
new Howodat of alluchia, hndius
arrived ; he had gone to offer up his
p'rayers, and ths most violent shocks
were felt just at the moment when he
was about to kiss the gospel." -
