Captain Thompson, of the brig
Frances Jane, arrived at Baltimore on
Thuisday, from St John's, Porto Ri
co, reports the occurrence at that
place of a severe shock of an earth
quake on the 8th February, which
asted .about two minutes, but did no
especial damage. Intelligence of the
earthquake in various other islands is
given in the annexed extracts from
letters received by the Frances Jane,
published in the American.
St. Joiix, P. R., Feb. 14, 1S43.
"We had a severe shock of an earth
quake on the 8th inst., but it was not
so severe as the one last year, though
it lasted a longer time. In St. Thom
as it was very severe, and is said to
have lasted over two minutes. All
persons fled from their houses, but
most fortunately no one was hurt, and
no material damage was done there.
A vessel arrived at St. Thomas from
Antigua reports that all the houses
were thrown down in that Island, and
the windmills were either down orso
much injured that they cannot be
worked. In Nevis, also, every thing
(except the Bath House) is down, and
the staamer passing Martinique, Gua
daloupe and Montserat, saw those is
lands covered with a dense cloud of
d ust.
No accounts have3ret been receiv
ed from aiw other Island, but we fear
we shall hear of great destruction of
property and loss of life- in all the
Vindward Islands.- We cannot vouch
for the truth of the above, but we give
3t as we receive it. from a creditable
source in St. Thomas.
St. Johns, P. II., Feb. 1-5, 1843.
' We lmre just received advices
from the Windward. The effects of
the earthquake of the 5th inst. have
been awful, indeed. Point Petre, in
Guadaloupe, is totalty destroyed,, and
ten thousend persons are supposed to
have been killed. The loss of prop
erty is immense. At Antigua, also,
there has been a great loss of proper
ty, but five lives lost. All tiie mills
and sugar woiks are more or less in
jured, and the greater part of the crop
will be lost. Nevis, Montserat, Ear
badoes, ccc. c. are said to have suf
fered much, but to what extent is-hot
known ret.
"Here, and at St. Thomas, the
shock was also severe, and lasted at
this place two minutes, but there was
n j material damage clone at either
pace.
The earthquake, whose effects hare
been ;;o fearfully experienced in the
West India Islands on the Sth Febru
ary, was indicated by the slight shocks
wnich were felt on" the same day at
u asluuglon City, oNewbern, lialeigh,
( -harleston, and other points aloomhe
.southern Atlantic coast as far as Sav
annah, inclusive. It will also be re
collected that the U.S. brig Decatur,
at Norfolk, and the barque InGa, at
Baltimore, reported that they had dis
tinctly ieittne shock of an earthquake
-it sea. on the Sth of February the
former in lat. 20, 13, N , and long. 61,
-i ; and the latter in lat. 17, 30, N.
aud long. GO. The same shock was
also felt at sea, hy several vessels
w..ii:h have since arrived at New
a urfc, Boston, and elsewhere.
There was a distinct shock of an
earthquake felt on the 4th of January
jn the valley cf the Mississippi; and
another on the 16th February. It
remains to be seen whether these
were connected with more violent
convulsions at distant points. '
