FROM THE HAMPSHIRE TELEGRAPH, AUG. 16.

The Volage frigate was lying at Catlao, on the 30th
of March last, when the earthquake, which is described
to have taken place at seven in the mori;ing occurred. The
-elfsati,in produced from its effect, on borrd, resembled
that of a ship's beating on a sand-sank ; the sea, which
was before calm, suddenly bobbled and boiled all around,
and became very turbid with mud and sand, although
they were anchored in 25 fathoms water. On looking to-
wards the shore, the buildings were scarcely discernible,
the dust flying upwards in such immense density. The
upper part of the Church and the Castle were however
both seen to totter and fall. The motion of the earth, and
evidently of the bottom of the sea, lasted nearly three mi-
nutes; scarcely a house in Lima,Callao,or Calm is, escaped
injury, and about 100 persons were killed. In some
places eight and ten contiguous horses are tht own down,
and the damage is estimated at twelve millions of dol-
lars. The former considerable earthquake occurred 80
years since, and though four thousand persons perished
at that time, the buildings were by no means so much
injured. The new Constitution of Peru had been sworn
to with all possible religious and militai y display, on
20th of April; but it was doubtful how long the new
order of things wi uld last, each leading character look-
ing su,piciuu•,ly on his neighbour, and no honesty in any
one of them. The D iris frigate was to leave Coquimbo
ior England w th a freight s•f silver, ou the 25th May,
provided the blossom did not arrive by that time from
Bheering's Straits, in which case the Doris would look
for a fresh cargo. The Menai frigate left Callao with
silver for Va:paraiso on the 10th of April; the Baltic
Merchant transport w is to leave Callao on the Ist of
May, for Valparaiso, Rio de Janeiro, and England.—
The Aleit sloop of war V‘as at Arica.
Lieutenant Thomas Richmond, of the Owen Glen-
dower, has been dismissed his snip, and put at the
bottom of the list, by sentence of a Court Martial, held
a few days since in the M dway, on chaiges of unotficer-
like behaviour, preferred against him by Commodore
Christian.

Field-Marshal his Royal Highness the Duke of
GLoucasraa arrived here on Wednesday, being the
first official visit paid by his Royal Highness since his
appointment as Geyer nnr of this garrison. His Royal
Highness on reaching Mile End, a short distance from
the town, alighted from his carriage, and attended by
his Aid-de-camps, mounted his horse, and proceeded to
the gates of the g arison, where the keys were presented
to him by the L.eutenant•Governor: His Royal High-
ness, on entering the garrison, was received by the whole
of the troops under arms, which lined the streets as far
as the George Inn, where his Royal Highness took up
his abode. On the following morning, the Mayor, Al-
dermen, and Burgesses of the Borough waited upon his
Royal Highness to offer a congratulatory addiess,which
was graciously received. .
His Royal Highness afterwards inspected the troops
at the customary mounting of the guard on the Grand
Parade, at eleven o'clock, and then, under a salute from
the garrison and ships in the harbour, embarked and
went on board the Victory. His Royal Highness on the
same day inspected the Dock-yard, and in the evening
was entertained at dinner by Admiral the Hon. Sir
RotsEnr STOPIPMID, to which the principal Officers
in the garrison were invited. Yesterday the Duke in-
spected the Royal Marines and the Depcts of the 51st,
52d. and 60th Regiments, on Southsea Common, after
which his Royal Highness embarked on board the Ad-
mires yacht, to partake of the animated scene pre-
seated by our Regatta. In the evening his Royal High•
ness dined with Major General Sir COLIN CAMPBELL,
and afterwards honoured the ball at the Royal Clarence
rooms, Southsea, with his presence. This morning the
Duke inspected the troops at Gosport, and this evening
gave a splendid dinner at the George Inn, to the prin-
cipal Officers, both naval and military, iu the garrison,
the Mayor of the borough, &c.
