EARTHVIAKE.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Pima of a letter from Llamas dated June is.
" At tour o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday
the 6th intl. a Chock of an earthquake was felt here,
of much more force, and longer continuance, than
has been experienced fence the cheadful one in the
year '755. In all parts of the city and Cuburbs
the honfes were abandoned, and the inhabitants on
their knees, and the greater part in moil piteous and
lamentabl.: tones, fupplicating the Divine Mercy. The
univerfal impreffion was, that a !hock fo alarming
would be prefently followed by others more fatal, and
whiltl fome with a pious refignation awaited the ex-
peeled crifis, others gave way to a frantic defpair,
and nothing could exceed the general horror. Hap
pily, however, it terminated with the flirt great mock.
Tile dread which it excited caufed vet numbers to
leave the city, and to pafs that night in the open fields,
but an undillurbed tranquility continued, which in
the courfe of the next day reflored order, and difpel-
led the agitations which more or lefs every one fut.-
fered. The prevailing opinion is, that there were
two (hocks fu intlantaneoutly conneeled, as to be in
died ►he fame as one. They were preceded by a
terrific fuhterraneous noife, fuch as thunder might be
fuppofed to produce, if pent up within the bowels of
ihe earth ; And when the flsrck commenced, its vio-
lence gave repeated and pettedly vifible motion to
every building in the city. I have converted with
feveral who were living here when the great earth-
quake happened which deffroyed Lill) in in 1755, and
they all agree that the violence of that did not exceed
this, but it was of much longer continuance, and
many times repeated. Had this tatted two fecon.
longer, half Lifb,n would have been in ruins. A, it
is, there are few houfes that do not exhibit Come pr• to
of its effects, though, except fome old dwellings t►.at
were thrown down, and which canted two deaths
and Ceveral.fraCtured limbs, the injury has not been
great. The convents and churches have fuffer►d
mot. The houfe we occupy is uncommonly fir rig,
with walls two feet and a half thick, but it is fluttered
from one end to the other, more or lefs, and in foree
parts the fradures extend from top to b•Atom. The
thins in the river experienced a fenfation timilar to
what is felt when (hiking and palling over a ridge of
rocks.

la According to the ben authenticated opinions as
to its duration, it kited from feven to ten feconds.
Dr. C— and Mr. at the dillance of two
miles from eack other, are enabled to (peak with to-
lerable certainty, from the circumnance of their hay.
ing obferved that the fhock continued during the
whole time they were running from their chambers
into the Itreet, which each of them had reached be-

fore it fubfideil. They fuppofe about two feconds to
have elapfed, before they quitted their feats, and they
have afcertained by fubfequent and repeated experi-
riments, that they could not have been lefs than five
feconds getting down (lairs.
a' It was equally felt at Cintra and at M4fra,
where the Royal Family were. The Plincefs, who
poffeffes great fortitude and pretence of m;ncl. (batch.
ed up hetinfanr, and ran with it in her arms into the
garden; the Prince Regent funk under the alarm,
and remained infenfible for a conflderable time.

" Of the many 'hocks that have been felt here fence

1755► two only have been diflinguithed as materially
'alarming ; but neither of them are confidercd as equal
'by any means, either in point of violence or duratto:l,
'to that of which I write.

‘, A fubfequent (hock, but of fo flight a nature as
not to be felt by the generality of the people, is •r f.
ccrtained to have occurred alarm eight o'clock (n
Wednefday morning, the toth intlant. It was felt
more fenfibly at Mafra and other places than here."
