GERMANY.

From late foreign papers. received at the or

German journal mentions that the diTec-
tors OF tbe Observation-Disclosures company have
received intelligence OF dreadful volcanic ex-
posioD, which took place on The 2Ist Of
March, l320, in one CT the AIeU Iion islands.
The night was very dark and gloomy, and
violent gale blew from the southeast. This
was succeeded by an earthquake, accompa-
MED by sublerranen thunder. The whole
atmosphere appeared ignited, and it became
50 light. that every object was perfectly visi-
ble. Shortly after, showers Of sand and ash
es descended in such immense quantities, as
TO obscure all vision. This phenomenon con-
tinued throughout the remainder OF the night
Al day break The wind changed, and the show
ers OF sand and ashes ceased The sea wa
ter became thick, and The river water assum
ed the colour and thickness of beer, and was
so extremely bitter, as TO be unfit for use. AT
The island OF Umnak, about hundred wFesis
distant from Unaaschka, volcanic eruption
also took place. The crater is now about b
wrests from the sea shore, though it was be-
fore but FIVE wresis from the coast. Hence IL
is evident that the island has been extended
by HE volcanic eruption, and that the sea has
receded TO considerable distance.
