which tend to confirm a piece of information we
laid before our Readers fume time ago. We men-
tioned that from the nature of the orders fent out
to Egypt, we Mould not be furprited to hear that
our troops quitted that country in the firft or fecoud
week in January. We should obferve, however,that
it is not impoffible that the Porte itfelf may, in con-
cequence of the defeats its Army has experienced,
sequel our countrymen to prolong their Ray, and
if any difcretionary power has been given to Ge-
neral STUART, we may yet hear of their depar-
ture being deferred, though rails are Rated to
have arrived at Alexandria for the purpufe of
taking them away.

January; aid on the ad, Rut:woes thermometer
was at 21 degrees. Two days after, we had a
thaw ; but on the 6th, the frolt returned with
more feverity. At a quarter pall two in the
morning of the Bth, the thermometer being at 25
degrees, we experienced a fmart (hock of an earth-
quake, which (hook the bodes to their very foun-
dations, and made the cups and glafres rattle on
the table. At four and five o'clock we experienced
two other (hocks, but lea violent. All the three
proceeded in a direCtion from the well. Next day
a long deep fiiihre extending north and fo uth in a
direel line, was obferved in the centre of the town.
'This fitihre might have been occafioned by the
great froft ; our foil being very light, and conic-
quently liable to fplit. The cold inereafed fo much
that it was impoilible to warm the apartments.
" Next night at a quarter pall twelve, we experi-
cnced another Rrong (hock, which (hook the cups
and the glaffes, and difplaced the tables; and the
following morning feveral Mures were difeovered
in another (laner of the town, and even a large
rent in the Wall of the Chamber of Finances. Se-
veral other edifices exhibited traces of the earth-
quake. The thermometer fell to 25 degrees, and
remained at that point for thirty days..—The
wind, which had entirely eeafed, blew with great
violence from the north, on tile day of the carth.l
quake. The cold has this day decreafed, to the '
fatisfation of all the inhabitants."
