A letter from Zante (OK capital of the Island of
that name, belonging the Republic 'of. Seven
Islands), dated June to, says, ‘.s Earthquakes are
very freqUent here this year. Santa Maura (for.
merly called Leucadij), and Zante, are particularly
sajed- to them. The latter island appears to be
quite undermined, as the well of pitch and rosin is
flowing continually. We experienced a consider-
able shock on the 7th instant, a; midnight. our. ing a petted calm and suffocating heat, there arose
a terrible blowing noise, which lasted two seconds ;
it was followed by a violent shock, when the
houses. shook, and beams and ceilings cracked. On
a second shock, bricks and mottar fell from the
ceiiings, bOlted dours,and windows burst open, the
bells were set a ringing, and people could not stand
upright. This scene of terror, lasted frill 30 to
40 seconds. Three hours after a second Earth.
quake was felt, which, though pretty violent, was
let's so and of shorter duration than the former.--
Earthquakes are so frequent here, that they are
hardly noticed, unless they ate very powerful.•
Upwards of an hundred have been felt here during.
Is months ; but there were only four or five of
them considerably vi lent: The present caused a
Ittneral consternation, and called back to our re.
collodion the terrible one of thirteen years ago,
When the island appeared ready to be swallowed
11P, the fortifications and many houses fell to ruins,
andmany lives were loss. This time we got off
with, only some walls and chimnies thrown down,
Inci.others- cracked.- Less violent shock's- Were felt
On the Bth, and
.9111, which lasted from six to ten se.
while the heat was increasing. A traveller,
Who returned this- day from Patrasso, in Morea,
brought us an-account of this phenomenon. He ar.
rived at Patrasso, so hours sail frOm hence, on the
evening of the 7th, but he remained on board of
vessel, which Mot anchor moo pile's distant.
, At
midnight :the earthquake_ wasielt, the dreadful
Weds of which he is not able to describe. It, was
Preceded
by a most violent wind and howling noise
under ground, 'llse cracking of the houses in the
fi°•141"0 r 4 screaming of, the inhabitants, the con.
~t 1 of, the elements, the violent agitation of the
tea ?gains(' the vessels, which cracked as if break.
g Into a • thousand pieces, in short, every thing
combined to spread terror and dismay. Many peo.
tie lost their lives, and still more were wounded.
Ile villages along the coast and up the country are
neatly destriled ;,`"t we have not yet any exact

TH r result of this day's Poll was a diminuthn of
Mre MAI NWAR I NG'S previous majority. The
numbers polled this day were,

Far Sir FRANCIS BURDETT fj,
Mr. MAO:WARING

Majority for the former, on the day's Poll 41

The general Total is, Mr. MA INWA R ING - 2j g 6
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT 2499

Majority for the former

Sir FRANCIS then addressed the Mob in his ussal
style of coarse invedive against Mr. MA IN% AR ING.
He began by boasting of his success on the day's
Poll, and earnestly requested his Friends to attend
at an early hour this day ; and in order to encou.
rage those who might entertain some scruples of
conscience about their right of voting, he assured
their that they should have the assistance and ,ro-
tedion of Counsel. Sir FRANCIS then proceeded
to• repeat some of the old contemptible calumnies
and misrepresentations about. the Prison in Cold..
bath-fields; which of course met with the loudest
applause from his friends, who had received their
daily instruction not to suffer Mr. MAINWARING
to be heard in reply. They 'obeyed their orders
with great ex4lness, and.by their yelling, render.
ed it completely impossible to hear one word which
fell from that Gentleman..

The State of this Da} 's Poll at Brentfurd, at
Twelve o'clock, was,

Mr. MAINWARING . -7;
Sir FILANCIg BURDETT

Major CARTWR IGHT Shake, his years away,
and alts his young encouoter," in behalf of Sir
FRANC Is BURDETT. The Freeholders, indeed,
from the whole train of the Baronel's connexions,
can have no doubt of . the rtiociples which dry
will support when they give their support to hi 3 in.
terests:

If the Friends of Sir FRANCIS r3URDRTT should
succeed in forcing a Candidate upon the Cotinty of
Middlesex, we may expea that they will try, to do
the same in every place chat sends a Representative
to Parliament ; and if they could be equally sue.
cessful, then farewell to Monarchy and the Consti.
tution of Old England, which has so long been the
admiration of mankind. •

Sir Jotter Bit 'slow, the present possessor of
Pope's charming Villa at Twickenham, has, it
seems, ordered it to be shut, so that Taste, Vene.
.ration, and Sentiment are no longer permitted to
traverse over the classic grou d planted by British
Genius, and consecrated by Tint.
It hail perhaps been too It istily inferred, that
because the EMPEROR of GERMANY does nor
date the pecuniary claims of this Countty, his trea.
bury is exhausted. We hope that policy is clii flv
the ground of his cunduti in this rear& I-Ic
known that this Country its not in
absolute want
of the money, and •he too well knows that
it is necessary to be constantly prepared against
the artifices and the'ambition of Franc-. Though
not in alliance with this Country in warlike
operations, the EMPEROR is assured that Great
Britain is still his friend, and would nut press
any demand.that might be inconvenient to hint, and
leave him without adequate resources against the
possible hostilities of the most artful and unprinci-
pled Power in Europe. We therefore hope, that
reasonable caution, and not absolute necessity, pre.
vents the EMPEROR from discharging claims ho.
nourably and unequivocally acknowledged.
The Free Mason: are permitted to open their
Lodges again in France, with all their former pri.
vile:es, we find, provided they never presume to
speak or 'write concerning religiOn,• morality anti
polities., This is a blessed freedom 0. 'We should be gl .d
to' know what subjeas are deft to them, exceot the
fashion: ofdgess, and in that perhaps they arc pro.
hibited from commenting on military attire, since
it has entered into the sublime contemplations of
the Emperor.
In consequence of some. dispute at the late As.;
sizes of Roscommon, a meeting took place, on Si.
tutday morning last, in the demesne of Newpark,
near Athlone, between 1?--s and
P--x D-o, Esqrs. when, after exchanging
a case of pistols' each, by the last shot of which•
Mr. D.'s side was
grazed by Mr. IL's ball, the Se_
minds interfered, and an amicable reconciliation
took place. - *

At the York Assizes, 7ollatban Ellis was tried
fora rape on Elizabeth Widdeson, a girl aged tif.
teen. It was an at} of coarse and brutal violation,
the circurnstanCes of which we must forbear to de.
tail. The wretch was found 'Guilty, and left fur ex.
ecution.

On. Friday afternoon a woman was• detailed, in
Fleet.market, enticing children away in order to
strip them of their clothes. One child was found
on Blackfriars.bridge, anti another in Newgate.
street, stript of their clothes. She was surrounded
by a number cif market.women, who, instead of
taking her before a Magistrate, took a summary way
of punishing her, by throwing filth at her, &c.-=-
She, however, escaped from their resentment by
running. up Field.lane, and secreting herself in a
house in Chick.lane.

Yesterday sennight, about eight- o'clock, as
Agnes Parkinson was going to the coal.pii,' with a.
cart and horse (dn the latter of which she was riding)
she met the Bentham waggon coming down Gray-
stop's Brow, near Wray, alai her hone taking fright.
the cart-wheel got entangled with the trappings of
the waggon hdrses, and came off, which caused the
cart to.overser, when' she was thrown off the horse.
'and unfortunately killed upon the spot. The de.
'ceased was CI. yestrs of age, lived at Brook.houset

The real number of estates burned cannot yet be
ascertained, as the,lsland has•been on fire for these
three weeks past ; various reasons'are given for the
first cause.: Some ascribe it to tuna‘Vay and other'
evil disposed Negroes ; but what is more probable,
is the limning of cut down wood having communi.
cated with the forest: wood. On Saturday tnlrrt.

Friday afternoon, as some boys were at play in..,
some barges lying near Execotion.Dack,. one of

The Heads ,of the different Synagogues in Lom-
don, and opulent Jews, have addresied to their Stct
a strong exhortation to obey the Laws, not to carry
on any trade on the Christian Sabbath, not to keep
houses of ill.fame, or commit other irregularities,
under their high censure, and forfeiture of the pri.
vileges attached to them as belonging to their Cam.

A few days since .a woman of the name of Lig°,
58 years of age, living in Betlinal.Green, was de.
livered of a male child, who, with the mother, it in
a fair way. Tao days after, her granddaughter
was delivered of twins. What renders this cr.
comitance the more extraordinary is, that the tid
Lady had not a child since the was thirty years' tot
