A letter from Argyleshire, of the 7th instant,
says This county has lately been visited with
very dreadful shocks of earthquakes. The tir,t of
these came on upon, .t e:3lst ult.
between
10 and
II o'clock in the' forenoon, with a terrible crash-
ing twice, exa6tly reseMbling that occasioned by
the firing of a 40-round 'cannon, and fully as in-
.statitiOu.ous ; but , being- re-echoed- from the. adja-
Cent hills, with the most tremendous voetteratious, it •
'continued for some seconds. The shcick was accom-
psnied. with an exceeding violent and tremendous
kind of noise. Flow it affected the earth I could
not learn, as I was in my room at the time; but
it shook all the houses from the very tniiin!at
The peoplohere, in their different -apartments, in
the greatest trepidation, and apprehensive of intme-
diate destruLtiou, rushed together to g ve nit:anal
comfort in their-common; danger. All the bells
.r
were set ringing, the doors a creaking upon their
,hinges, the tables and chairs
.krat ding ;; the cattle
attempted to break louse froth -their stalls, and those
in the open fields ran tnrionsty wild. In one gentle- '
man's house, a part of the pi,4tister was" broke down ;
and in the immediate neighbourhood two houses,
formerly in a tottering condition, were entirely chi-
mashed. I hare heard of no other injury commit-
ted. Before the shack the weather was mild, and
the air temperate, with "sunshine ; at the time- of
the shock it. wits, a•perfect calm, and for several
hours after it. This first Was•folloWed by a second,
a third, and a.fourth shock; with,the interruption
of a few hours between them ; and scarce a day has
since passed %vithout several being sensibly telt,
whiah, though not .:so fearful, are yet extremely
alarming. Such operatiolis by the hand of Omni-
potence. are well calculated to overawe the mind,
and to impress it with devout and reverential senti-
tnents.''

AttASAIG, FEB. 5•.—A shock of an earthquake
was very distin6tly felt over part of the Highlands of
.Scotland, on ,Tuesday And Wednesday last. kyles
felt on Tuesday preityseverely at Moidart, particu-
larly at Dalelea and Kenlochinoidart,' about „ten
o'clock at night, when considerable disturbance:
took .place; as the, plates; glasses, Ste.
,were very;
much agitated. In
.Araktig it was felt, but not so
Severely, on Wednesday, about the same hour.
For several.. night before the shock, constderablei
noises were heard, which astonished the people very,
mud), and, as such a circumstance never was till
now known in the country, considerable alartn.has
been created, more particularly as'the Coast and lulls
are so bold in AThidart that another shock may con•

which are placed immediately below very loose tucks.'

The account which we gave au.v.Siturclay.laSt, of -
the Melancholy fate oft his inagn i!it;r:t t struClure„, was
so full and .corre6, that,we to add to the
melancholy intviligence„ Alrt. Jot:DA/4'i property
in th►c Theatrethardly.amounted to the value of forty
pounds, and most of it was preserVed. Mr. Rus-
sut.r.,, the a6tor, was very, atiive inendeaiouring to
save the property, and was nearly tolt.in tipctiring an
iron chest, which •he brought away. The maid-
servant of Mrs.. Cuyi.v.a, the actress, resolutely
explored tier way to one Of the dressing-rooths, ,and
safely returned with some articles belopging.to her.
Mistress.! Papers and documents respeaing the
Theatre were the chief articles sew►'ed.

It is still doubtful where the fire began, and
it is said, indeed, that it appeared in several
places* at the same time. The general report
is, that it began, as we before stated, in a
wock7room over the Saloon, behind the back tier
of-front boxes. Some positively state,, that it first
appeared in the two shilling gallery, and others, that
it broke out in what' is called th,t Chinese saloon, at
the back of the pit, where some shops were'prepar-
.ing for • vending', fruit, confectionary, trinkets, &c
But among the absurd reports in circulation,, it is
said, that it -was set on fire by the Methodists,.ber
Cause several persons in the 'et-Ovid said, " there
goes one of ,Belutub's :Muses, the Devil's Detli
and other phrases of the .same kind ; but alarming
as the prevalence of Alethod:istir at present is mail
parts or the, kingdom, it would be shocking indeed
rct su‘pect them of such flagitious enormity. But
one of the most curious
,reports is one stating that
woman, wholly unknown to every body i 1 the
Theatre, was seen in all parts of it, where it was
p_ossiide to . venture; ,that she displayed great per-
lurbation in her manner, and was observed to ex- .
-tint,uish the candles, which sore persons had placed.
in. the passages in order:to guide them ti in their return,
after, they had endeavoured to save. some of the
property. The general 'coritUsion and regard to
individual sAh•ty, prevented any person from tracing
the steps of this worritin; and securing her, and she
vanished in a manner as my sterions'as her entrance
and her concldv.t. •• •

It is -somewhat singular that. the Baker's shop in
Drury Lane, which Was immediately eotineded with
,the houses-, oelonging to the TheAtre, through which
the performers entered,- a►nd the tisitars to the pri-
'vote boxes,on one side, and to the neW scene-room
on, the other, has!received no 'injury, and the busi-
ness was as usual
.carried on"ott
.Satosday:
The great source of consolatitm is that the cala-
mity did riot happen on a night of performance, for
in that case thousands must have fallen victims to a
tire so rapid in its course, anti so extensive in its ope-
ration; • • • / • .

SEVILLB;JAN. 23.--The following advice* from
Saragossa have been published by authority :
. • • " On' the 21st, at :day-break, the ene.ny's co-
' lumns made their appearance on the lteigl:ts vse,it
ere-amend Mount Torrero and the battery of Puena
Vi-ta, at the same time that two strong columns of
infantry end cavalry were advancing to attack us on
our left by way of Sawa° de la Muerte and Care
tuja et: la Conception.': By the bridge- of Welt,
which is on 'our right, they made a desperate
tack on the Cusa.Blanca, and succeeded in geeing
posseSsion of it. The -batterrof Buena Vista l; irg
thin turned, and the powder magazine having 1, en
bloWn up by a shell falling upon it, the artillery t. as
withdrawn toaccupy another position, and our peeple
set fire to the bridge of Atneride, which had been
previously prepared Wit hjfvardes. Tilig prevented
the French cavalry from following them on their
retreat,. which they continued until the whole of the
troops got into the redoubt of the Pillar, ai the head
of the bridge of flambe. Theenemy did tint eve
thorn mech time for prepartion, but the instant they
came within gun-shot' they were repulsed. This
retreat createdneitherdisorder net. confusion among
the troops, !for every aperienced.soldier knew that
the post of Torrero was not tenable against the su-
perior force of the enemy.
" The same day, at noon, seven coluinns of the
enernyi infantry, with a large body of cavalry, and
a considerable train of artillety, advanced to invest
the suburb on the other. side of the riVer. Their
picquets commenced tiring upon ours; and a general
attack was expeoled every momenta
" Our Captain-General appointed Brigadier Don
Josef Menu), Captain in'the Royal Spanish Guards,
to take charge of that most important point-; and .
this Otßeer disposed his troops with spelt precision,
gallantry, and skill, that be sustained the hottest tare

After mentioning the defeat of the French by the

ti:tis

Having re•assembled the troops, and formed

" To conclude, General, on the 7lb of November
a decisive blow was struck for the cause ot one arms;
the peasants of San Domingo, without discipline,

This gallant Englishman has been entitled to the
.admiration and gratitude of this country, from the
. first moment of its political resurredion. His ge.
ptrosity mu co-operating with our earliest efforts, the
encoutagement we received from the interest he
.took with the Commanders of the Balearic Islands
to- induce them to succour us with . troop' and
.annuonition, can never be erinted from our 're-
..colle6tion, The- extraordinary seas ices which wrcl
,owe to his indefatigable adivity, particularly this
city and the adjacent coast, in protecting us from the
attempts of the enemy, are too well known to be
repeated here. It is a sufficient ,eulogiuin upon his
charader to mention, that in the defence of the
Castle of 'Trinidad, when the Spanish flag, hoisted
on the wall, tell into theditch, under a most dread-
jol tire from the enemy, his Lordship was :he only
person who, regardless of the shower of balls flying
-abtalt him, descended hat, the ditch, returned with
the gag, And happily succeeded in placing it where
was Orfore.
