Extra ft from tic files ofi the cjfi.ee of the Superior Count cf Jcfferfion county , Wm. M*Dow ell, clerk. The following fingular ac count of a phenomenon which appeared in the air near the vil lage of Quintana, in the pro vince of Burgos, in Spain, is given in the Paris papers, as an extract from the Journal of Madrid, of the 7th J uly. <c At it o’clock in the morning of the 1 ith of June, a ftormy cloud was lecn at the ex tremity of the village of Quin tana, towards the north, and a \ cry thick fog which feemed to proceed from the adjacent mountains having joined it in a very grofs column, they formed together a very fantaftic figure, with arms, feet, and a long tail. The refemblancc of a very large ferpent, of a fky blue color, was foon after plainly difcernecl, as proceeding from the junction Of the cloud and fog, which ex tended itfelf lb far as to touch the earth. It emitted from time to time, torrents of hre of a dark and red colour, and at length feparated itfelf from the cloud in the direction of the village, with frequent eruptions of flames and fpaiks cf fire. The inhabitants were very much terrified, but a violent gale from the north, fe parated it in the fouthern extre mity, while the greater part ad vanced within 400 paces ot the village. “ It was feen to tear up in its paffiage icvcral large ftones and trees. In particular, a very large oak was find ftripped of its leaves, and afterwards torn up by the roots. It deftroyed all the cherry and apple trees in its way, and burnt up the ground over which it pafftd for more than 60 paces. This fingular phenomenon continued its de predations for about 25 minutes, and then again joined the cloud out of which it came. The da mage which it did to the vine yards is very confiderable.” What has preducedthefie meafiures ? 1. The voting of 75,000 vo lunteers, indead of the regular ccnditutional militia. 2.
