E%AnrRerAKE ar TarE1pAD,-By the arrival
at Baltimore of the schooner Sarah from st.
Thomas we learn that on the Goth August,
about 3 AM, the inhabitants of trinidad were
reused from sleep by the shock Of an earth
quake, the violence of which far exceeded
that of any other they have ever experienced,
except the one of 1928. Great fears were en-
tertained for the safety Of the town, but no
material damage was sustained. The deepest
anxiety was manifested on behalf of the ada
cent. Islands, from neither of which had any
positive information been obtained up to the
time Of the sarah's leaving, on the Sd ult.-

fords an earnest desire that ere long, our coun.
try will be disenthralled from l~ocofoco mis-.
rule, and the zeal in which the Ladies of East

sures us that Public Virtue, and the true love
of Country is with the Whigs-while we re-
gard every parish represented at the Conven-
ton as having done its duty-we wish TO evil
dence our admiration for the true wing spirit
manifested by our friends Of East Feliciana.
Therefore; Be it resolved, That a delegation
from the Clay Club Of East Baton Rouge will

to state, by several of the most respectable
