From all accounts, corrected one by an
other, and compared by the very imperfect
narratives which were published, / infer
that the shock of these earthquakes in the
Immediate vicinity of the. centre Of their
force must have equalled in their terrible
heavings of the earth, any thing Of the
kind that has been recorded. / do not be-
lieve that the public have ever yet had any
adequate idea Of the violence of the con-
cussions. We are accustomed to measure
this by the buildings overturned, and the
mortality that results.-Here the country
was thinly settled. The houses, Fortunate
ly, were frail and of logs, the most difficult
to overturn that could be constructed. Yet,
as it was, whole tracts were plunged into
the bed of the river. The grave yard at
New Madrid, with all its sleeping tenants
was precipitated ato the bed Of the stream.
Most of the houses were thrown down.
Large lakes oftwenty miles in extent we're

Pacha presented himself before Carlova,

six Primates came on board with cords e.

to intercede for their pardon, and offered
to pay the tribute for the last 6 years.
The Captain Pacha, having obtained
these hostages, left Samos, and set out OF
cruize, after despatching vessel of war
to Constantinople, in order to signify to
the Grand Seignior the submission of the
Samians, and the conditions which they Of
fered. In the mean time the famous Cam
arts penetrated with two fire-ships into the
middle of the Turkish fleet, stationed off
Carlova, and endeavored to burn the yes
sci of the Captain Pacha, as we'll as that of
the Vicc-Admiral but the Turks, more
experienced now than formerly, sunk one
fre-ship, and attacked in armed boats the
other, in which Canaris was. The fire.
ship blew up, but Canaris, with seven of
his companions, had, the good fortune to
save themselves on one of their floats. All
were more or less wounded.
The Greeks of Smyrna, seeing that the
Captain Pacha had re-assembled the troops
which he had landed some days before.
spread the report that he had fled at the
sight of the Greek fleet; and that Samos
had thus been saved second time, owing
to the inactivity of this commander.
