On the I3th instant,'-betvveen *:66 'p. m.
and 5.30 p. ml,-an earthquake, that in differ
ent places lasted from two- oo seven, minutes,
oscillating from Bomb to .northeast, ■ was felt
with general consternation and fright in’ a ra
dius of aix'ecn hundred ‘and' seventy miles
from the port of Casma, in Peru, latitude 9

‘-••There is no tiadition in ..the history ol
Peru of a convulsion pl' this extent, .dnration
and ravages; because in this one not only the
movement of the eai.th arid the consequent
fire caused destrfuctidni but also the sea, re
tiring to extraordii ary distances, returned on
the coast at-the rate-of ted mites an hour and
with a wave of fifty l'eet- high, that covered
the towns and took away in-its refiux every
thing within its power; leaving big ships high
and dry. •: • • • ml i...
In all the southern-ports, np to Gallao, the
ravages have been caused -by: the double ac
tion of earthquake and sea. In Callao the
convulsion did no damage; 1 not so the sea,
and more than the last, a lire that occurred
at the Came time.
The places where the convulsion were, felt
the most have been : -Arequipa, 1 that is fifteen
leagues inland, arid Moqnegua, at ten leagues
distance. The first of these cities is close to
the volcano called “Misti." and-the second
close to the “Dbinas.” -Tacna-and lea, dis
tant lrom the sea six Or eight -leagues, have
suffered little in proportion to the others.

By the data that we have received till the
pr.csent^ we believe that. the. centre of the
phenomena has'(i
tween Arequipa and'Tacni," Where are placed
the Cailloma. the Dlisti, Ubinks, ‘Huathapb-
tina, Tatnpaca; and GaudaraVe.
The earthquake that took place in Chili io
1835; the most severe felt in America up to
the last measured otily seven' hundred geo
graphical miles in latitude'by Tour hundred
in longitude. In the one-we speak of to-day
the force of the- shbterraneaa movement ex-
teuded eight hundred and thirty miles of lati
tude by six hubdred of longitude.
A letter from Tacna says that during the'
earthquake a large light was seen in the atmos
phere at a considerable elevation, unknown in
meteorological pbenomena.
Anotlier trivcller says tint: 'ie saw the Tambo
of “Apo” placed’ in-the top-6f tbe Cordilleras
tall to pieces. ,:i ( •“ ’* i.
Offier intelligence of Arequipa says that a
traveller saw the Mbunf ol Orqueta (last-of
the snowy rtigronsldisnppeir. '
The captain of the America reports that in
the moment of tbe commotion the sea changed
its color and seemed to boil.
In all the country round Arequipa' earth

twenty-four hours.
