EXTRACT OF A LETTER FRON ST. MICHAEL'S, FEE. 7.
46 For several weeks past the people of Ginetes,
Varzes, and Caudelaria had been much alarmed by
repeated convulsions of the earth, which, had ren.
dered their houses unsafe, and induced them to pass
the nights in temporary huts raised in their gardens,

The Police of Hamburgh are at present extremely
busy in reviewing all the places that can be spared
for the accommodation of troops, from which it is na-

that city ; though, perhaps, it may be orly part of
the routine of duty attached to the French Police.

but on Saturday the 2d of February, being informed
by a person from Ginetes, that the day before a tre-
mendous volume of smoke was seen constantly issuing
irom the midst of the sea, and that by night the
flames were visible, I resolved, in company with a
friend, to proceed to the spot. This we did upon the
&It instant, When we arrived at Monte-Gordo, just
above the Feiteiras, we perceived a vast column of
thick dense smoke ascending from the sea, which was
discoloured from Ginetes down to where we good (a.
'distance of two leagues at least), and at intervals a;
dark muddy substance, resembling the /ode of the
Flirnas, svis hove up to the height of ten, and some-
times twenty fathoms. As yet, we could not distin-
guish any fire ; but the country people assured us,
we should plainly see it, if we staid till night ; and
we accordingly continued our journey towards Gi-
netes, where we arrived just after sun-set, and found
ourselves precisely opposite the scene of our 'curiosity
and admiration. We kept so bad a look-out, how.
ever, that we did not happen to be watching the Fast
iind second time it appeared (as we learnt from our ,
host, who did nut come in doors all night). But as
an6rning approached, and being desirous of bearing
testimony to tote fact, I resolved not, to withdraw my-
self ler a moment from the window ; when, between
five and six o'clock, I and my companion were filled
with the. most sublime sensations,. at the awful ap-
pearance of these devouring elements. We saw the
fire clistiirtly three several times. The first volume
of it did not -ascend very high ; perhaps, , not more
than twenty feet above the surface of the sea ; but
another body, of, less circumference, accompanied
the smoke to a greater height, carrying up with it
substances resembling pieces of stone or metal.—
the third and last explosion we beheld, was just at''
day-break. It was far more tremendous than either
of the others, and ascended like 'a host of sky-rackets
to an immense height, and the burning fluid or lava
was not extinguished till it plunged again into the
water.
‘‘ Being now lirOad.day, we walked down to the
seaside, in order to endeavour to ascertain as near as
possible the distance of the volcano from the shore.
