Wednefday night and Thurfday morning it blew
a viokut hurricane at Plymouth at S. W. with a
heavy rolling tea in the Sound. At day-break it
increafed with redoubled fury. The men of war
drove a little, but loon brought up, the Sound
being excellent holding ground. The Rufford,
Capt. Causst.sy, armed tranfport, from Malta,
with troops, parted two cables an end, and drove
under the rocks of the citadel, near where the un-
fortunate Dutton Eaf Indianian was 1011, in 1796.
She was in great danger for fome time, but, by
the exertions of the officers and crew, and tome
Alliance from the men of war's boats, who payed
on board a cable and let go an anchor, (he brought
up in fafety, and the gale moderating, the warped
to her moorings in the Sound.
On Thurfday the 3d inf. about (even o'clock
in the evening, came on at Melton Mowbray, one
of the moil tremendous forms of thunder, light-
ning, and hail, ever remembered at this feafon of
the year, which continued without intermiffion tiU
near eight; when, in an infant, a:whirlwind arofe,
apparently from the S. W. attended by a water-
fpout, which Lifted about five minutes, in which
(Iron fpace of time many houfes and other build-
ings were tripped of their coverings, chimnies
blown down, &c. and the inhabitants thrown in
the greateft confernation ; happily no perfons re-
ceived the leaf injury except Mr. W. Hill, who
was in the ftreet at the time, and was by the force
of the wind taken off the ground and driven with
violence againft a wall, by which his face and arm
were much bruited. One window flutter belong-
ing to the (hop of Mr. Marriott, which, with many
others, was forced from its faftenings, was con-
veyed upwards of too yards, with the greatell ve-
locity. The wind, during the height of its vio-
lence, veered into almoft every point of the corn-
, pats : an empty waggon was moved upwards of
twenty yards, and by a contrary gull of wind,
driven nearly to the (pot where it firft flood: a
loaded waggon, fuppoted to contain three tons
weight, was alto removed three or four yards.
Immediately preceding the whirlwind, the rain
defended in fuch torrents as to deluge the lower
rooms of many houfes. A bullock was killed by
the lightning, in the liberty of Thorpe Arnold ;
but what is very remarkable, the wind appears to
have confined itfelf to the town of Melton, no
perfon or building in the fields or villages adjacent
experiencing its effeets. Happily the duration of
the tempeft was &on, otherwife the damage mull
have been much more confiderable.

Letters from Madrid, of the Isth of May, Rate,
that the city of Lorca, fituated in the kingdom
of Murcia, experienced on the 3oth of April a
dreadful difaller. The refervoir, which is of le-
veral leagues extent. and ferved to water the fur-
rounding countries, fuddenly burg, and inundated
a fpace of more than twenty leagues, as alto a
part of the city. Five hundred houfes have been
defirnyed. Above a thoufand perfons have loft
their lives, and a great number of beafts have been
drowned.
Citizen Chrißophe, an inhabitant of Nancy, has
received from his fon, a Chef de Squadron of the
7th regiment of Dragoons, and now in garrifon
at Lndi, a letter dated the 9th of May, with the
following account of the earthquake in Italy:—
" I write in hafte to inform you, that an earth-
quake has been felt here, but that I have met with
no accident. We were fitting quietly at break-
fall when our houfc gave a terrible erafh, that
(hook us on our feats. We ran out and flew to
the barracks. Every thing was overturned. the
cloaks and portmanteaus rolled about, and the
dragoons were tumbled down in attempting to
defceud the (lairs. Some chimnies were thrown
down, all the people were at prayers in the ftreets.
The fhock commenced at 40 minutes paft ten in
the morning, and lafted about three feconds. We
have efcaped with the fright. We might now
laugh, were we not much affeded, when we
learned that about ten miles diflat. (three French
leagues) the town of Crema was almoft demolifhed
by the earthquake. The inhabitants faved them•
felves by flight, and no people were remaining
there except the elialreun of the tsth regiment, to
prevent plunder. At 40 miles diltanee (about 12
leagues) the village of Menguin, where there was
a fine lake of about ten miles circumference, has
been (wallowed up in the lake, and not a Tingle
