EXTRACT OF A LETTER FRON ST. MICHAEL'S, FEE. 7. 46 For several weeks past the people of Ginetes, Varzes, and Caudelaria had been much alarmed by repeated convulsions of the earth, which, had ren. dered their houses unsafe, and induced them to pass the nights in temporary huts raised in their gardens, Si you know is usual on these occasions; for, since those violent shocks which we experienced in July they had never been entirely free from alarm. .• them to their degradation, and loss of their former power and importance in the State. The Police of Hamburgh are at present extremely busy in reviewing all the places that can be spared for the accommodation of troops, from which it is na turally inferred more troops are to be stnioaed in that city ; though, perhaps, it may be orly part of the routine of duty attached to the French Police. All accounts, latterly received, continue to menti' French last, they '44 It 'was reported, that a volCano had broken out - troops towards the interior and Idently oF _ upon the Pico das Camarinhas, and in other places but on Saturday the 2d of February, being informed by a person from Ginetes, that the day before a tre mendous volume of smoke was seen constantly issuing irom the midst of the sea, and that by night the flames were visible, I resolved, in company with a friend, to proceed to the spot. This we did upon the &It instant, When we arrived at Monte-Gordo, just above the Feiteiras, we perceived a vast column of thick dense smoke ascending from the sea, which was discoloured from Ginetes down to where we good (a. 'distance of two leagues at least), and at intervals a; dark muddy substance, resembling the /ode of the Flirnas, svis hove up to the height of ten, and some times twenty fathoms. As yet, we could not distin guish any fire ; but the country people assured us, we should plainly see it, if we staid till night ; and we accordingly continued our journey towards Gi netes, where we arrived just after sun-set, and found ourselves precisely opposite the scene of our 'curiosity and admiration. We kept so bad a look-out, how. ever, that we did not happen to be watching the Fast iind second time it appeared (as we learnt from our , host, who did nut come in doors all night). But as an6rning approached, and being desirous of bearing testimony to tote fact, I resolved not, to withdraw my self ler a moment from the window ; when, between five and six o'clock, I and my companion were filled with the. most sublime sensations,. at the awful ap pearance of these devouring elements. We saw the fire clistiirtly three several times. The first volume of it did not - ascend very high ; perhaps, , not more than twenty feet above the surface of the sea ; but another body, of, less circumference, accompanied the smoke to a greater height, carrying up with it substances resembling pieces of stone or metal.— the third and last explosion we beheld, was just at'' day-break. It was far more tremendous than either of the others, and ascended like 'a host of sky -rackets to an immense height, and the burning fluid or lava was not extinguished till it plunged again into the water. ‘‘ Being now lirOad.day, we walked down to the seaside, in order to endeavour to ascertain as near as possible the distance of the volcano from the shore. It appeared to us to be about one mile ; but as we bid iio Means of calculating, except by the eye, and, fearing the magnitude of the object might lead us astray, we think it safest to call it a mile and a half, and would recommend your pointing it. out as such to all masters of vessels coming this way ; for, since the ornktion - hip in some degree subsidea, the spot ap ruan Atte rock ender water; with the lei breaking siously overlt.• " In summer time it may be possible for boats to approach, towards it, and more correct observat i ons than ours will no doubt be made ; for it has been blowing a gale W.S.W. ever since.

The conscription is expected to be carried into exe. cution at Hamburgh with the utmost rigour, and no exception will, it is said, be allowed. The distress oc casioned in that city, in a mercantile point of view, is beyond all description : money is uncommonly scarce, and numerous bankruptcies are expected. in Holstein the quantity of grain upon hand is ina mense, and the farmers, in consequence of having no market for the sale of it, are reduced to such great dis tress that the greater part will not be able to pay their rents. The number of troops in this part of the Da nish territory is stated at 16,000 men. The old report of an attack on this island - has, within these few days, been revived. In the Jande the French have 25 armed vessels, 12 of which are brigs of the size of our sloops of war, and more are • expected to rendezvous in the neighbouring rivers 'from Antwerp, where they have a safe passage by is [inland navigation. P. S. 2 P.M.—We have just received positive in- formation, that the French gun-brigs and gun-boats (seven in nitinber), have got round to the Elbe, and are now stationed in Cuxhaven, so that for the pre-,, , sent we can expect little or no intercourse from that quarter.
