J iie son of a merchant in Birmingham, who happened to
be at Sienna, Tuscany, during tlie late earthquake there#-
has written the following account of it:
“ Sienna , Sunday, May 27, 1798.
Yefter%y, at to minutes past r, the moft terrible
earthquake ever felt at Sienna took place. I was writing
in my room with Mr. IT. when on a sudden a moft violent
concuftive and reverberative motion almost threw 11s down*
and affected us like an elcrtric fiiock; the servant who was
with us artiially fell. It lasted half a minute, and then the
moft tremendous noise was heard from t?he bowels of the
earth. Aware that it was an earthquake, I cried out, rini *
run: our rooms were inftantiy filled with dust, and the
mortar and bricks fell about our ears. On defeending we?
found all the city in consternation, the streets full of dull
and fallen chimnies; and almost the firft objert I saw was
a poor man wallowing in his blood, who had been thrown
down from a fcaffolding. The streets resounded with the
cries of wemen half diftrarted, while the men were engag
ed in collerting their straggled families. I loon returned
into the house, and found our walls all cracked, brick floor*
burst asunder, windows broken and torn open, and in fliortr
almost uninhabitable. We then went to the public walk
called the Lizza, wheie Was collerted avast concourse of
people and carriages, all exhibiting indefcribablc feenes of
pain and miierv. ‘The earth on the walk was much crack
ed, and all the houses in the city split almost from top t <3
bottom. Returning again home we determined to go to
Lady Carolina Spannochi’s, when a second fliock made our
room creak like a vessel in a storm. We found Lady C
in the utmost distress;- a wall had fallen upon her elcleft foit
and 12 others of the scholars in the college of the city: his
bruised arm had been taken off but it was not exported he
would live. Every where, as we returned to our lodgings*
we heard the Cries of distress;. and at half past 8 o’clock
third fliock, more dreadful than the former, determined u
at all events to quit the city* We went to the Marquis
of Landadare’s, Where we were well received, and found
multitudes of fugitives; we passed the night on numbers of
folks, chairs, mattresses, Sec. feeling an almost continual
vibration of th: earth. In the morning we returned to the
city and found ic almost depopulated. The people were on
tlie Lizza, under a kind of tents; the rich there have no
other habitations than their carriages. The churches are
all damaged and Ehafs laid in the open air; indeed none of
the public buildings can be fafely used. Sienna appears ter
be ruined; another fliock will raze it to the ground.”
Dublin, July 21. On Saturday last Kearns the Prieff,
and Periy the Wexford Rebel General, were hanged by
the sentence of a Court Martial at Edenderry.
July 26. Y efterday MicTiael Byrne, of the county of

ecuted in a grey mixture coat with a black cape, and pan
tafoons of the color of his coat,, wore a white vest, had hal£
boots; and was a complete crop.
1 ne rebel prdoners who have surrendered and are now
confined at the Royal Exchange exhibit a just pirture of
tne infernal caufie in which they had embarked, in the molt
immoral and profligate behavior, by continued blalphemy
and horrid oaths, cursing and abusing the yeomanry and
his. Majesty s forces. T hey appear to be moft depraved
Pruffianr,, equal to the commitment of any art of desperation-
Bclfajl, July 27- Innocent Gain!, J anies He ran, and
Matthew Ryan, were on the 18th inst. convicted before*
