THE RADICALS. We always regret the necessity of noticing these wicked enemies of the Constitution, which their chief aim is totally to destroy, unlei* when their squabbles with each other expose them to the contempt of the people in general. For this rea son we insert the following Letter which appeared in The New Times of this day : THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1819. DREADFUL EARTEIQUAEE IN INDIA. (From The Bombay Gazette of July 7.) We hasten to lay before our Readers a selec tion from the numerous communications we have received respecting this awful visitation. It was slightly felt at Poonab, and we believe it did not reach to the southward of that city, or extend much beyond the tropic. CAIIIP, BE -100 J, Jorge 19.—At seven o'clock on the evening of the 16th of. June, an earthquake destroyed the whole district and country.of Kutch ;. accounts that have been received mention, - that _from- Luckput Rustler to Butcbao, the whole of the towns -and villages are more or less in _ruins. The towns of Mandaxie, Mooutlria, and Anjar, have suffered extensively and severely ; but the city of ilhoOj, and the fort of noojia, between which our force is encamped, are reduced, the former to ruins, and the .latter so breached as to he•useless as a fortification. This, however, is the least part of the evil: at the moment of the crash, it is apprehended, and I fear not any way exaggerated, that . 2,000 of the inhabitants were buried in the mass. Even now the effects of this horrible visitation are felt (though three days since the first shock) in constant and hourly vibrations of the earth. The inhabitants hare been obliged to forsake what were once their halls, and encamp outside upon some small hills. Their distress cannot be well described ; bruised, m4imed, and agitated with tear, they go daily into the city to work upon their several houses, to try and extricat e the mangled remains of wives, children, and relations, whilst in their pious labour the pu trid stench nearly exhausts them ; cattle which have fallen in numbers, add greatly to the noi some evil. The from the sandy nature of the stone, are crun►bled in a mass, and the nartow streets of li'hooj entirely lost, thus adding to the difficulties of the sufferers. The upper stones of the palace fell, and buried . , amongst others, the mother of the depOsed Rao : what houses stand are so shattered as to he liable to fall in the ruins ; and the very complete wreck of the wall on the southern side, as well as the de molition of neatly all the towers and gateways, render it impossible for Bhooj to he a city again. The loss of lives cannot be confined to the city. I fear, in all the towns and villages, mortality has been great. lam inclined to think, from.thecir eomstance of a volcano having opened on a hill, 30 miles from lihooj, that the country will not experience a repetition of the evil. From our camp being in aplain, no very ma teri.l damage has been sustained; the tiles - of a few temporary erected houses were knocked off, and the walls shattered. I shall attempt to give you the sensation felt by those both in camp and city, In the latter, 1 WAS informed by a gentleman, who nearly suf fered by a house falling ov,r him, that, riding on without an idea of what was to happen, upon the first notice a heavy appalling deadened noise, the motion of the earth, walls of the houses on each side of the street tottering and falling outwards, impressed upon him an idea, and he called out, that a mine was sprung ; ,%vhereas, another gen tleman imagined the bank of the tank was forced by the water ; these ideas accompanied with an unpleasant giddineis of the head, and sickness of stomach, from the heaving of the ground :- " In one wild roar espied ! " The shatter'd town,—the wall thrown down, • " The waves a moment backward bent, "The hill, that shake, although unrent. " As if an earthquake pass'd."—BYaoN's Siege of Corinth. . . In camp a similar sickness a;►d giddiness were experienced; and in ignorance, until the shock was over (which lasted a minute), of the nature of the noise below tl►e earth, some sat down in stinctively, cthe►s threw themselves down. One was paying work-people in a circle, and upon seeing him squat, the whole followed the example, and sat round him, " the very picture of despair." The sensation 1 felt was a giddiness and horror at perceiving a'small hillock, close to which I was riding (a short distance from the camp), com pletely agitated, and at the same time my horse plunged, frog► the ground moving. This was the case also with an officer I was riding with. 1 have on inquiry ascertained that many years ago, and in the remembrance of the oldest inha bitants, an undulating motion has been felt before in Kutch, but never, I hope, will again be at tended with such a horrible catastrophe ; the dis tress of which bas been so great upon the inhabi tants, that I confess I fall short of ability to de scribe it. 'Translation of a Letter from a respectable Na tive w a Correspondent at liaroda, dated 18th June, from lsotia " I have sent you a letter and given you an account of every thing that, has occurred here ; yesterday the 9th of Just. Vud. (the 164) of June) in the evening, a noise issued from the earth like the beating of the Nobut, and occasioned the trembling of all the people; it appeared most won deilni, and deprived us all of our senses, so that we could not see ; every thing appearing dark before us, . a dizziness came upon many people so that they fell down. The walls of the fort of Isoria in many places were completely overturned, and the guns fell from the bastions ; the inhabitants ran home to their houses, many of which fell down. For one hour this remained ; the buildings in the town some fell, and the ot h ers appeared as if falling ; the walls of the Fort that remained after the first .7 shock, appeared-in a ruined state. For an hour and a half theinhabitants did not know each other; after that time all was hush and still, and we then return ed to our houses ; at- night a trembling seized our bodies, and on Wednesday morning some horse men who arrived, came to me and reported, that in the fields the earth opened and threw up water ; to see which I went there, and such was the case, and the water came up from the earth in many places, and it appeared like the rushing of water when drawn from a well ; it remained all night in the fields, and in three or four places the earth had given, way, and sunk 100 feet in depth, which space was filled with water. Many of the wells which had before this plenty of water were left empty, and many pools that formerly were dry-were now filled with water ; the like of this was never heard or seen before. When 1 re turned into. the town, the inhabitants reported la4 - o t l rt during my absence the earth again was sh :'and when I was washing my body after- Wards, I left -two or three violent shocks again, and the honk was in was much shaken. Af ter this people did not seem willing to remain ip the town ; I therefore left it,.and encamped one cuss' off. 1 received accounts from Nowa nuggar, that the forts of Lialumho and Aniraw have fallen down, and some people had died, as had likewise some cattle : the same has occurred at Jankaria. I have received the news from the country round for 16 toss . ; and beyond the Run, at Joo-tiah Blinder, the same has also happened. "'lbis is the wonderful decree of Almighty God, which I do not understand. For your in formation I have written this small account ; all that has occurred it is impassible to describe.— To•day, bet wren }2 and 2 o'clock, the same has happened. On Wednesday night, some people assert that the earth was again, shaken. 1 have this moment received accounts front Morvee, that the same has occurred there ; that some of the houses and part of the wails of the fort have fallen, and the-people have suffered great losses. I do not know to what extent damage has been done." CAMP NEAR 111100.1, JUNE 17.—We are at pre- sent in a shocking state of alarm, Last evening, between 6 and 7 o'clock, we were visited by a dreadful earthquake. The wall that surrounded ilhooj is almost levelled With the ground, anil the few towers which are left standing are merely broken remains ; the houses generally unroofed, others in rains, and most of the large buildings, including the Rilace, greatly Hared; the wall of the Hill-fort down iv) many places, and there is a complete breach near the gateway. The tight of our cawj rests a short distance the left of the latter, fronting the town , and extends along the bottom of the hill to a little beyOnd the large tower on the south-west.point. lam happy to say that we have had none materially hurt, four Sepoys only bruised, who were on duty in the town ; but I fear that a great many casualties have occurred among the poor natives ; some hundreds are said to have lost their lives. There is at present so much contusion that the numbers cannot be ascertained. We had several shocks during the night, and they have continued at intervals this day; the last one about two hours ago, when I could scarcely keep upon my legs ; the sensation is horrible while it lasts. They have suffered, we understand, in the same way at Aojar. P.S. Three P. ta. Therels a slight shock at this moment. I trust in God they - will cease altogether. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A CORRESPONDENT AT SARODA, DATED JUNE 26. On tl►e 16th, about 7 o'clock p. m.„ the whole of the city and around it were thrown into the greatest consternation, by a very severe shock of of an earthquake, which continued without hoer mission between two and three minutes. I was at a ft iend's at the time ; we were sitting in his upper bungaloe, which rocked so violently, 1 really thought it -would have fallen before we could get below stairs. Thu next morning, about 11 o'clock, we experienced another, though slighter, convulsion. On the 18th we felt two more, one at 11 A.M. and the,other at 12 at night : and on the 20th we also had two more shocks ; God knows if it is yet all over. It appears to be going.from the sou►h to north. At l'allampore it was accompanied by a noise in the earth just like thunder. Its ravages at Ahmedabad Ilan been consider able. The two large Minarets tear the' Jumah Museed in that city are overthrown. One of the gates of the town has Linen down, .and nearly 300 houses. The fort of Rampoor, near Pull garde, is nearly demolished. . EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ANJAR, DATED JUNCI7. It is with sincere regret that I have to inft,rn► you, that this place was visited by an enribquake yesterday evening, at 10 minutes before 7 o'clock. The effects of the shock, which lasted nearly two minutes, have been the levelling of the fort-wall to the ground ; not 100 yards of the wall remain in any one spot, and guns, towers, &c., all hurled in One mass of ruin. The destruction of the town has been distressing and awful : not a quarter of the houses are stand ing, and those that do remain are all in ruins.— I cannot yet state the particulars of the losses, but I may in one word say,' that a flourishing po pulation has Been reduced in one moment to wretchedness and misery. I fear we shalt have to lament the loss of upwards of 100 people, besides those hurt. Reports from the country state similar disasters in all the villages round about ; and letters from Bhooj 'inform us, that that fort is mush in the same condition as Allier. Slight shocks still con tinue to be felt, and I shall, on the first leisure moment, report such particulars as I may be able to collect. ~ "ro TH E " Stn—Seeing in ,your Paper of Tuesday, 9:lx November, a letter signed Charles Pearson., de clash% he was nut " aware of ever biing in the reach of the .bearing" of me, I beg leave to state the following particulars, which will probably re fresh that Gentleman's memory " A few days previous to the Meetini first held by the Ilefortners in Smithfield, I w a rted upon, Mr. Charles Pearson, in company with Mr. Wins West, to solicit his subscription in behalf of a gentleman in deep distress, and after having made known the circumstances of the case, Mr. Pear son inquired the amount required ; on being an swered; three or tour pound's, Mr. Pearson imme diately, humanely and liberally, gave a check for 51. ; after which, I laid before him a placard an nouncing the firs. Smithfield fleeting, and chew ed to him a circular authoinsy, given to sue by the Corltnittee, for the purpose of raising a sub. scription to defray the expences of the said Meet ing, which he havi,:g read, Mr Pe.tson informed me, that if the Meetinc went off well and peace ably, he, perhaps, might subscribe towards it, and, to the best of my recollection, to the amount of five pounds ; upon which Mr. West and myself left his honk'. " I was in company with Mr. 'Pearson again, for at least one hoar, in Mr. Hunt's apartments the day after the said Meeting, but knew nothing then of his having given to Mr. Hunt the five pounds, which 1 always considered he intended to have giiten to the Committee, for defraying tho expences of the said Meeting, and was fully eon firmed in my opinion by the statenient contained in Mr. Blandford's Letter, which has before ap• peared in your Paper. " l am, Sir, your humble servant, " ARTHUR THISTLEWOOD. " Stanhope-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, Nov. 10,1819." DOCTOR WATSON. We signified our intention, as often as this wretched miscreant .should obtrude hiniself upon. public notice; to repeat the charge originally brought against him, upon indisputable audio ' lll., which we are permitted to disclose, of having, while he was in The Tower, offered " to aban don politics for ever, if Goverc.ment would afford him means to open a shop, or to remove with bit family to America." We, therefore, in confor mity to our pledge, introduce the following Letter, with a renewal of the charge, and leave the de luded followers of this miserable pretender to Pa triotism, to reflect whether his totalsilence under this repeated charge is not a convincing implica tion of his guilt : " OiRCULAR OF DR. WATSON TO THE LONDON RE. FOUNT UNION SOCIETY. GRNTLEMEN,- 7 I aw desired by the Committee of Management in the Metropolis in furtherance of Parliamentary Retorm, to apprise you, that I have, with my tri e n►la, performed the duty in trusted to us by the people assembled on Mon. day, the Ist of November, in Finsbury Market. place, namely, its presenting to Lord Sidmouth the Appeal to the Prince Regent, then passed ; and having Waited upon his Lordship according to appointment, that I have received his answer, which the Committee think advisable to be laid before the public on the 24th inst. in Smithfield, a here it is proposed to meet to cdnsult upon the manifold grievances of the country, instead of Finsbury Market-place, as intended to have been held on the 15th instant. " 1 am, Govlone!), your obedient Servant, " London CoMmittee Room, " JAMES WATSON. November 9, t 819." ' BLANDFORD AND HUNT. MANstoN-HousE.—Yesterday Blandford ap peared before the Loan MAYOR with an affidavit, verifying the truth of a statement contained in his letter to Thistlewood, accusing Hunt of appro priat.ing a sum of 5/. of the Radical funds to his own use: ,Blandford produceil the affidavit, 'anti expressed his willitit;netts to swear to the truth of the facts it contained. Mayor said, that a s this was a voluntary step on the part of Bland.- ford, and as he was not well aware of the regu larity of the proceeding, he would not receive tile affidavit for the present,but Would consult with the other Magistrates in the course of the day.— His Lordship 'at the.sainetime took occasion to observe, that putting such matters in 'affidavits would only tend to perpetuate 'inveterate preju dices amongst the parties.
