RICHMOND, JAN. s.

.ANo7HER EARTaQUAKE was felt in this
City, yesterday morning, (the 7th) about FIVE
minutes before 4 o'clock. The undulation
was more powerful than any we have ever felt.
Several persons were walked from their slee,;
the bed-steads rocked like cradles-pendu-
lous bodies vibrated and every thing that was
susceptible of moderate degree of motion,
was heard or felt to tremhle under the con-
vulsions OF our parent earth" We felt the
shock between one and two minutes.--Some
persons distinctly discerned two shocks; o.
theirs two and four The duration seemed to
vary to different persons. There appeared a
rumbling noise, like the motion of Wagons
over pavement, t. the north east. A part
OF the chimney III the house, tenanted by nudge
Roane, was tulnblcd upon the roof The vi
bration appeared to be north and south.

VALENCIA, Nov. |.

At the time that we hung III uncertainty re-
speeding the fate of the castle of Saguntum,
in consequence of our neither getting any in
telligence nor seeing any signal from 1t, h.
E. General Blake received, on the 28th OF
last month, dispatch from the Governor, ID
Luis Maria Andriani, inclosing the capltula-
ton which he had agreed to on the 2sth.
Both the Governor and the garrison suffered
themselves to be imposed upon by the artful
and exaggerated account of the French, with
out any other proof than the sight of some
hundreds of prisoners; and, believing the ar
my to have been destroyed, though every bo-
dy sees, that such is not the case, they lost
all hopes of relief and did not hold out SO
long as had been expected and they had pro-
missed.

DAMPERs.


Inc war party amongst us have been =,
siderably damhed Of late. The krou.
that Mr. Madison did not wish to have n,,,
than ten thousand men added to The ,a.'
army, instead Of $4,000 voted BY conc
was very considerable check 70 r.. u.
Ma MIR. Gallatln furnished another damn,
IN his taxing report and one, too, which
had tolerable effect. The proof po,,i,
brought forward by Gen. Smith, in tbs g
nate, that the trade to France, 50 fap g..
being worth fighting for, is absou,ev
worth having, is another sdamper. The r,
slction that war would instantly and s,t
ous!y affect the price Of Flour, which b,, n
therto been kept up in an unexamDled ny,
ner by the great demand for that article !,
Portugal, Spain, and the West-Indies l.
mother damper. The certainty that or;,,
principally to the regulations of Bonsnr,
the expectation of provisions is the cbil
trade which can be enjoyed BY the Upe,
States, in the present posture of EuroDesn Al.
fairs, is another danper. The total urce.
tainty of our being able to compel the British
government to repeal their Orders in Council
by any means in our power, is another damn.
er. The probability, arising from the lat,
London accounts, that these orders will b, vu !
UNFAIRLY revoked, is another damper II,
impression which appears to be gaining
ground universally, of the extreme foil, Of
our aiding great military despot in his am.
oitious projects, is another damper The
manifest distraction which prevails in or
counclls,-tbe corruption ard intrigue which
are said to be carrying on amongs,the rusn
Of the naIioIl,-is another (,anper. To these
we shall add another: and this is, the current
reportthat Mr. Fosterls actually in firyg
of settling all differences between the twogo'
vernments, by Treaty similar to the enc ne
gociated by Mr.. Monroe, in 1906 Should
this prove to be the result, as we sincerely
hope it may. it will indeed be most COM
plete damper.
We do not vouch for the authenticity
the rumor just mentioned, but We are IDei'
ed TO think it entitled to some credit, no"
the circumstance that few war-paFtlz'N
have lately become more furious (if pos'os]
against the administration. The Baltimore
Wing says that by the slx-doilar sI'i'Ds p
icy of congress- the popular sPi'll % '''
frozen" This IS an unfortunate cFcu"
stance: for it will require a prodigi0u' ~
ment to elevate it to Boiling heat :"
Wing afterwards declares that " tie i'''
dent deserves impeachment, at jeS''
sure" for neglecting to Gail congress
gether sooner, and for not sending ?" 49,
out to rccrsit after bis proclamation was "'

soundest maxims of policy, would.r rather war
rant vigorous and energetic prosecution OF
the war, at its commencement, than langor
and hardness founded on a mistaken notion
of economy and when we know that the re-
cruiting officers TO the northward have not
been supplied from the war department, with
either money or clothing for the men they en-
list, and that after advancing all their orn
money and all they could borrow from indi-
viduals, on their personal credit and respon-
sibility, they have been obliged TO refuse ma
ny men who applied to enlist we cannot but
believe that mistaken notions or something
radically wrong in the war department is inn
peding the progress of the war paralizing the
energies ofthe nation and dampning the ardor
and zeal of those officers who embraced
the profession of arms with an honest inten-
ton and firm resolution TO do their coun-
try good and faithful service These are
truths which, however painful to US as unpalata-

PUBLIC FEELING.

On Saturday the goth OF August number
of the inhabitants of Berkeley assembled at
the Court House in Martinsburgh, for the pur-
pose OF expressing their sentiments respecting
the outrages lately committed in the city of
Baltimore
RAWLEIGH COLSTON, Esq. was unani-
mousiy requested to preside over the meeting
be accordingly took the chair, and ALENAN-
DER COOPER was appointed Secretary.
On motion. it was Resolved, that COM
mittee consisting of the following gentlemen,
to wit, Major James Stephenson, Col. Elisha
Boyd, Capt James Campbell, Capt, George
Porterted, Philip c. Pendleton William
Wilson and John 4, Cooke, esquires, be, and
II Is hereby directed, to prepare declaration
of the sentiments of this meeting respecting
the late outrages in Baltimore, and to report
the same at half after three o'clock in the af-
ternoon.
The meeting was then adjourned until the
hour mentioned in the resolution. AT four
o'clock the meeting was again opened, when
the committee appointed for the purpose, hay
ing first submitted to the meeting the opinion
of an eminent counsellor on the subject of the
enormities lately committed by the Baltimore
mob, and of the steps taken by the Editors of
the Federal Republican to re-establish their
press in that city, and likewise the authorities
on which that opinion was founded, reported
the following
Declaration of the sentiments of a number
OF the inhabitants of Berkeley
THE individuals composing this assem-
blage, have, for two months past been calm,
but not unconcerned spectators of that series
OF enormities committed by the mob of Balti-
more, which commenced with the destruction
of private property, and the prestration of the
liberty of speech and of the press, and has at
length been consummated by massacre
whose atrocity has no parallel in the history
of America, and but few in that OF the world.
Deeply as they were impressed with the fatal
tendency Of the outrage which was committed
on the 22d Of June, they forbore to express
their indignant feelings, still indulging the
hope that the strong arm of the law would
extend itself, and would inflct on the often
ders the punishment due to their crimes
Time, which developes all things, has shewn
how delusve and unfounded were their hopes
and expectations.
With a mixture of grief, surprize and indig-
nation they have seen the civil authority in
Baltimore, either inundated, by few des
peraloes, from the performance of its duty,
or wckedly conniying at the most fragrant
violations of the laws. They have seen weeks
elapse after the commission of the most hei-
