) EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED ST. MICHAEL'S, I 3D APJTJI,, 1814. II Since the alarming eruption in 1810, which shook the whole island to its base, we enjoyed perfect tranquility, with the hope of its long continuance, till last week, when our fears returned with increased force, occasioned by an unusual heaving of the sea, without a breath of wind. This was immediately fol- lowed by a rumbling noise, not unlike the re- port of cannon, and a strong suffocating smell of sulphur. This happened at five p. m. In 1 about a quarter of an hour the whole island appeared to be in motion; several vessels riding at anchor a short distance from the I shore were dashed to pieces in an instant, and Hie earth opening, not a vestige of them was to be seen. On the opposite side of the i8- < land, near the village called Sylva Arbor, the ground opened ill three evcral places, and vast discharges continuing till midnight, when it entirely ceased. On examining the spot next morning with a friend, we found a con- siderable quantity of wood, partly burnt, bones of animals, and heads of fishes. Wh ilst we were examining these objects, a friar came by, and having saluted us, told us that he had examined the spot, and had found, to his great surprise, a wax cloth containing a fragment of what appeared to have been a chart, but which was so much injured by the water that it was impossible to deeypher it, but on shewing it to us at his house, the word Colon was still legible. As it is known by historical record that Chrislopher Columbus having, when overtaken by a storm which threatened the destruction of himself and his ship, commilied the of his voyage tu America to the deep, in the distant hope of its reselling some habitable shore, it is conjectured here among Use learned that the wax cloth discovered by the inar is the same that Columbus is said to have put .into a cask and jjiven to tlie deep, when he and his crew were momently expect- ing to perish." -=-

CEREMONIAL FOR THE PROCLAMA- TION OF PEACE. No day is yet fixed for the Proclamation of Peace. The Procession will be unusually splen- did.

Knight Marshal's Men, Two and Two. Knight Marshal. Drums Drum-Major. Trumpets. Serjeant-Trumpeter. Pursuivants. Serjeants J Heralds, J Serjeants at Arms. Kings of Arms, at Arms. Being come before the Gate, the Senior Offi- cer of Arms present (attended on his left-hand I by the next iu rank) is to read the Proclamation I aloud whereupon the Procession is to move on to ill (fie order: Horse-Guards, to clear the way. Beadles of Westminster, two and two, barehead- ed, with staves. Constables of Westminster, in like manner. High-Constable, wifh his Staff, on horseback.

At Charing-cror.s, the OfUcer of Arms next in I rank is to read the Proclamation, ■ looking to- j wards Whitehall; after which the Procession is to move on to Temple-bar, the gates of which were shut; and the Junior Officer of Arms, com- ing out of the lank between two Trumpeters, preceded by two Horse Guards to clear the way, is to ride up to the gate, and after the Trumpets have sounded thrice, to knock with a cane. Be- ing asked by the City-Marshal from within- Who comes there?" he repJies-" The OlScers of Arms, who demand entrance info the City, to publish his Majesty's Proclamation of Peace." The gates being opened, he was admitted alone, and the gates are shut again. The City-Mar- shal, preceded by his Officers, conducts him to the Lord Mayor, to whom he shews his Majes- ty's warrant, which his Lordship having read, returns; atd gins directions to the City Mur- I shal to open the gates, who, attending the Offi- cer at Arms on his return to them, says, on leav- ing iiii-ri-11 Sir, the gates arc opened." The Trumpets and Guards being in waiting, conduct him to his place in the Procession, which then moves on into the City (the Officers of Westmin- ster filing off and retiring as they came to Tem- ple bar); and, at-Chancery-lane-end. the Pro- clamation is read a third time. Then the Lord I Mayor, Aldermen and Sheriffs, ille- Pro- cession immediately after the Officers of Arms, it is to move on to the end of Wood street, where the Cross formerly stood in Cheapside I and the Proclamation having been there read, the Procession is continued to ths Royal Exchange, where the Proclamation is read for the last time, and the Procession returns by the way of Grace- church street, through Lombard street.

T LOJIDOV AT PRESENT—The town, crowded I as it generally is at this season, claims now a peculiar character. Every street, every square, every alley presents the picture of a fair, without the intermission of a single rno- menl, The whole population of Eng-lalld seems emptied into Londou. You observe whole groups of persons running straight for- ward, with their eyes nearly out of their heads, and their moulhs wide open, asking, which way is the Emperor of Russia ? where the King of Prussia is ? and where Marshal Blu- cher and General Platotf ? All business is at & stop but the business of Huzzaing The coios are nearly frightened out of the Green Park, with She multitudes that are running against them, and seem to have no time either to eat or give milk. The job-horses b,i,ve scarcely a leg to stand upon; and the hackney-coaches move at the rale of a mile an hour. The few inhabitants of London, who have not time to walk in the day, are running about the streets at night to look at the illuminations and if a manufacturer asks for his workmen, he is sure to find them iu the street, staring at a King or an Emperor. The Cossacks, iu storming a town, never made a greater harvest of plunder than the pickpockets assembled in London from every j quarter, and who are all new dressed from l the spoils they have made iu the present cam- j paign. In short, the Order of Li.,c Day seetiis to be Insanity and Bobbery. Whe.; AlarshalElucher arrived at IheQueen's House at Windsor, after Ascot Races, and be- ing brushed up, preparatory to his introduc- tion to her Majesty, he observed that the rib- bon to which the Prince Regent's miniature was appendant, was neady worn asunder on his shoulder expressing great anxiety for the security of the picture, he inquired whether some pretty damsel of the household could not be procured 10 make it secure? None ap- llearing. a footman, with a pin or two, effect- ed ic, and immediately afterwards Miss Pow- ell, the housekeeper's handsome daughter, entered wilh a needle and siik on which tha gallant Chieftain exclaimed, in French, Ma- damoiseiie! though you are come too late fa unite my cordon wilhyour fair hands, you ars arrived just in time with those sweet ling, h favour me with a kis!" and immediately ad- vanced, and saluted her. A Paris paper, the Journal des JJebats, of the 1 If h instant, states,that General Bertraaii, I who accompanied Bonapurle to tf'e Isle of Elba, has returned to Fans, and that at his de- parture the ci-devant Emperor had entirely iost his reason, and the Physicians despaired of his recovery. Incessant anxiety, Ihc-great- ness ot his fail, and self-reproach, preying upon a mind vain, fiery, and impatient, mi"I £ be naturally expected to produce this effect* even on one whose bosom, free from a trui'lfy conscience, afforded some source of consola- iion. Of nil the Russian troops that, were at Paris and its vicinily, there remain only 1,200, who are sick in the hospitals. They ire tg be sent, off in parties of 200 or 300, as they suc- cessively n:cover.-The property seized by the Revolutionary Government, and not dis- posed of, is restored, by order of the Kiug. to the rightful owners. It is estimated that the Duke of Orleans will in consequence oh- tain a levenus ol four millions ot francs (up™ wards of sterling a year.) His fa- I her, the so doisanl Phillippe Egalite, who suf- fered by the guillotine, was considered the richest subject in Europe. It was mentioned at Barbadoes, while Lieut. Thompson was there, that La Piqne frigale, of 36 guns, the Honourable Captain Ilai-LIand, which was cruising in the Mona Passage, hal fallen in with a large American frigate, SIII)- posed to be the President, when La Pique b- ing to leeward, lay to and fired a gun, with a Hritish ensign flying at each mast-head. 'I'l i t- enemy not bearing down to her, the ere, went to Captain Maiiland, and requested lid would use every endeavour to come to action when he immediately read to them his instruc- tions from the Adm1rallv, "not to seek all engagement with any of the large American frigates, but at Ihe same time not to avoid a, contestand staled his regret at being so situated as not to be able lo try the chance, tis he was persuadedi from the knowledge he had ot his crew, that the British flag wouid never be tarnished in any contest with an-ene- my, however superior in force. The Ameri- can, after manoeuvring about for more than an hour, bore away. The next day, when La Pique's crew were to receive theirdaiiy hllow- aru-e of grog, every man threw it verbjard, declaring, that they did not require Dutch cou- rage to engage a Yankee! The Ley den Journal of the 10th contains all article under date of Madrid, May 24, to the following effect We are assured,' that in consequence of several conferences which have taken pLue between Lord VVelliuglon, who has recently arrived in this capital from Paris. and those members of the new Government in whom his Catholic Majesly places most coi- lideucc, King Ferdinand has signed a declara- tion, in which he engages speedily to convoke a legal assembly of the Cortes of the nation", for the purpose of forming, in concert with them, a Consiittitionat Charter for Spain, con- (unliable to the wishes of the people, and adapted to the existing stale of Europe. Ac- cording to some persons who call themselves wen-informed, Loru Wellington, in this nego- cistioa, which cannot fail to contribute to th maintenance of, order and the restoration of union among the different parties, not only has acted as the Plenipotentiary of Great Bri- laic, but also as invested with powers from all the Allied Potentates, who, in confiding so. 11 honourable a mission to his Lordship, wished to give him a marked proof of their satisfac- tion, and of the confidence which they repose in his great talents and enlightened under- staa ling." The Royal Procession this evetiin"- !o Guild- hall will be very grand. In order to prevent 0 .the interruption and danger attending a concourse of carriages in the streets at the time of the Procession,persons intending to in carriages to houses between St. James's and Temple-bar, are requested to go there before three o'clock, as no carriages can be admitted into that line of streets, and parti- cularly into the Strand, after three o'clocli. mr suHered to remain there after that hour until the procession has passed. The dinner- hour at Guildhall is six o'clock—so that some may be formed of the crowd expected when such early precaution is considered ne- cessary. About ten o'clock the Volunteers will begin to iiue the streets westward of Temple-bar. and at three o'clock Temple-bar gates, which have been repaired and new painted, will be shut. In this state they wii! remain until the arrival of the processioe, when a loud knocking without will request permission to enter. At this moment the Lord Mayor, mounted upon a charger splen- didly caparisoned, will ride up to the gate, ia portly state, bis head uncovered, with a. Squire on foot at bis horse's head, on each side, holding the reins of his bridle. His Lordship will be accompanied with all the pride, pomp, and circumstance of his Civic authority ? and the gates having been thrown open bv his order, he will turn about and con- duct his Royal Visitors into bis territories, to the hospitable board provided for their reccr* lion si Guifdha!
