From the Japa GoDsrnn'sst 6asstts


We are at length enabled % give
the public a full and interesting re-
count of the Volcanic eruption Lhai
has recently taken place on the Isl.
and Of Sumbawa, which has been
furnished to us FROM the most re-
spsetabIe authority, and which may
be received as an historical fact OF
nndoubted authenticity.
TIE distance of Batavia from the
TornborO mountains is between 90
ven and eight hundred niles which
appears so enormous . space fer
sound 10 be conveyed with other vol
canic mountains on this island. 10
prove this fact, We now publish an
extract from q private letter with
which we were obligiDgIy favored,
before any eruption was known TO
have taken place 90 the island OF
Sumbawa. BY which it will appear
that the dates of the first explosion
from the Tomboromonntain behind
Bange wangee correspond exactly.
