The Pacha has retired into the Caftle, where he has beheaded the Greek Bifhop and Pri mates, whom he took with him as Hoftages.

The Ruffian have burnt two Ships which were on the Stocks, and all the Timber collected for ''Ship building and were about launching a third Ship, which was ready for that Purpofe. I faw from Port Olivier, where I was at Anchor, the Conflagration of the City, which Continued burning one whole Day and a It was laft Night reported that the Spanifli Fleet from Ferrol was failed for the Mediterranean, reinforced by an additional Force of fifty Men of War. Ten Ships of War, victualled for three Months, are ready to fail from Cadiz the Ferrol Squadron is completely equipped, We have received Intelligence that the Demand of Prifoners which Jwis made by our Court from Spain was treated with Contempt. A Number of additional Hands is employed by the Commifficners of the Victualling Office in preparing Provisions for the Ships fitting out for Sea.

I BURG December 6. Copy a Lttttr to a Gentleman in this City, November ig.

A moftftonifhing Event has lately happened here. Upon, Saturday Night the 16th, the great Solway or Solon Mofi (which is upon a high Ground between the Sark and the Efk, and is near fifteen Hundred Acres, burftonthe eaft Side, and in two Days covered about four Hundred Acres of the flneft Holms upon from five or fix to twenty Feet deep. I to fee it upon the Wednefday after, and again upon Tuefday laft, ind found it. ft ill running out, like very wet Mortar. It moves but flowly, but is a horrid Stream.

There is little more Land covered than when I firft faw it, but the Depth is much greater, and I have no Doubt but it muft foon extend itfd greatly. It has already ruined eleven or twelve and about forty Families, and many are removing all round it. 1 faid before the Mofs lies high, and as there is a Defcent from it every iWay, no Water could run into it I have therefore no Doubt but this terrible Event has been occafioned by fome fubterraneous Convulfion. I Went upon the Flow, and found near the Middle of it above four Hundred Acres from five to twenty Feet lower than the reft, in two different Courfcs, to the Gap where it burft out. Many People reckon fix or 4eten Hundred Acres of the Holms but I cannot think it exceeds four Hundred.

Mr. Graham of Netherby has fhown great Humanity, giving the poor Sufferer, who are all his.Tenants1, iretj Aid in his Power Moft of the Surface leraaini, and what is come away is chiefly fofatbe bottom of the Mofs."

The Spanifh Governour told the Captain of the frigat that he had Orders for what he did, and that he would continue to do as he had done till his Orders were countermanded. The Britifh Officers who went afhore were treated like Criminals, being put under a double Cuard of Spaniards as foon as they 4 February 10. fTMIE Honourable Judge Livingfton, on Wednefday laft, offered him ft If to the Aflembly to be admitted as a Member fqr the Manor of JUvingflon, when, weltear, he was excluded the Houfe adhering to their former Refolution, that no Judge of the Supreme Court fhould be allowed 'ft Seat in that Heufe.
