the hemp magazine, which raged with such
violence, that it was not only impossible to
flop its burning down the warehouse, but even
its communicating to several vessels that weie
loaded and loading with hemp, flax, oil, and
cordage, which being all combullible goods,
made the conflagration very tremendous; and
had not the Hames taken another direction, the
whole quarter of Wafily-Oftrow mull have been
burnt. The fire, however, communicated to
a magazine which was surrounded with water,
and contained great part of the last crop of to
bacco which grew in the Ukraine. The fire
burnt three days, and the damage done by it
is reckoned at two millions of roubles; the
number of people who have loft their lives is
not yet known, but from various circumitan
qes it is not doubted it mull be very great.

ON Saturday the privateer Bellona, Jameel
M'Lean, Matter, belonging to this
port, brought into Port Glasgow the Spanish
packet Colegn, Juan Antonio.de la Badega,
master, from Buenos Ayres to Corunna, with
government dispatches. She fell in with her
in lat. 40 N. long. 33 W. an d took her after a
running engagement of about an hour and a
quarter. The Cologn mounted 12 guns, and
had 6; men. There was one man killed on
board the Bellona and one wounded. On
board the Cologn one killed, and the Captain
and three men wounded.
Paris, Sept. 8. Six mips of the line and

Berlin, Sept. 12. They write from the
frontiers of Bohemia, that they are recruiting
all over that kingdom, and repairing the for
tifications with the greatest aftivity. They
add, that for some time part numerous levies
are going forward in Saxony.
Berlin, Sept. 13. His Majesty, from mo
tives of real goodness, has caused to be fee at
liberty the Judges and Counfellors concerned
in the affairof the Miller Arnold, who had
been sent to Spandau, and they are already
arrived here.
This packet was carrying accounts to Spain
of a rebellion in several provinces of South-
America; but the public mail was thrown
overboard when ffie struck. However, there
have been found several letters and papers on
board, which make particular mention of it;
and we are as much obliged tothe owners ofthe
Bellona for the following tranflatitns, as we
are happy to haveit in our power to lay such
particular and early intelligence of this affair
before ounreaders.
Arequipa, March 16, 1780. At fix 13
the morning there was a great mob in this city,
about a new duty that had been laid on a little
time before. They plundered the Custom
house, and feathered the money and effects
thereof about the Hreets. The Colleger,
Treasurer, and Comptroller, and all the su
baltern Officers, together with the Mayor,
took fanttuafy in the convent of St. Francis.
Several people were killed in the croud. A
little before this, a number of Pafquins had
been put up, but they never thought it would
have come to any height; and therefore the
King's people had not provided against it.
After the mob had risen, an account of it
was sent to the Superintendent of this king
dom, who is now at Lima. In consequence
thereof, a meeting was called by the Vice
Roy, of the different Officers of that royal
audience; and, by a resolution extraordinary,
a commission was given to a Judge to go down
with 200 men, to endeavour to quell themob;
but, while they were getting ready the troops,
the Superintendent received another courier to
suspend every diligence, because there were
more than 10,000 men under arms to defend
themselves, as soon as they ihould learn that
any force was to be carried against them ; and
having joined themselves to the town of Mo
quiga, where there had also been a mob, they
determined to fitfpend the march of the troops
till next day.
Cuzco^— As soon as there was an acconnt
of the rebellion at Arequipa, the people here
begun to rife, and published a great many Paf
quins ; and they ordered the Bilhop cut of the
town four leagues dittance, without any other
reason, butthat it was inconvenient. In this
city any m b is much to be dreaded, because.
in a few hours, the can get 40,000 Indians
under arms; to which mult be added, that
there are a great many of the defeendants of
the Indian Kings, who are of high blopd, and
very proud.
Some Pafquins give an account of the differ
ent rebellions in Cochambamba and Cuzco,
Ringing the praises of Cafimira, one of the
said defeendants, who is now Governor of
7600 Indians. This town is in great distress,
because they threaten to put to oeath several
priells that are not in the interest of the rioters.
Lapas.—On the 25th instant (March 1 80)
Holy Thursday, a mob arose here at 10 o'clock
at night against the new custom house---All
the Indians and other inhabitants were in the
market place; agd nex day, being Good
