"On the 17th April, a schooner arrived at Marti-
nique, after a passage of seven days from Curacoa,
bringing an account that an tuglish frigate had ar-1
rived at that place, with several persons who had
escaped from La Guyra and Caraccas, at which
places a dreadful earthquake hid been felt, whichll

'at Caraccas. At Lol-Myra about 1400 people. The
exact amount of loos could not be had., The frigate
was watering at Tortuga, when these people escaped
from the shore. Captain Surrom further informs
me, that the shock was felt at Demerara."
