T. N. Mai iy, Yellerdav the Rieht Hon. Earl of Egmont kif fed his Maieftv's Hand on being appointed Secre tary of State, in the Room of his Grace the Duke nf Grafton, who has refiened. ExtraS of a Letter from panda, the Capital of the Malacca ljlands, June 10, 1765, being a further Account of tat Eruption of the Vokanot in the Iland.

The Quantity of Cinders caft up from the Mountain, with the burning Lava, which ran down its Sides to the Diftance of upwards of Two Thirds of it, deflroying all the Houfes and Trees in its railage, which fell with a horrible JNoile filled every Soul with Terror on the 20th. To thefe were added, the perpetual Rumblings heard in the Body of the Mountain, and the fulphurous Vapours lifting from all Parts, which rendered the Air quite infupportable. Report magnifying thefe Obiects. added to our Confternation. I ho it had not appeared that any Stones had been found above half way down the Mountain, yet it was pretended that feveral had been picked up in dir.

ferent Parts of the Ifle. Indeed a Dutch Soldier, on the ill prefented the Governor with a Piece of very hot which he had found near the On examining this Piece, it was found to confilt of pure Sulphur. The Stench of the Sui phur had been frequently very itrong in the Ifland, but never continued long. The Fire alfo of the lower Volcano lalted only 24 Hours, the Collection of Stones thrown out, having extinguifhed it, and converted it into a thick Smoak, till the 3d of this Month. But this Circumftar.ee occaiioned the greater Alarms, becaufe the Vapours thickened at the two Upper and the Explofion of burning Manner became much more frequent and much more terrible, than ever.

The Ground to the extent of the Valley was inacceflible on Account of the Heat. The Trees, late fo beautiful, were partly burnt and partly overturned, for above half way down the Mountain; and the Stones which fell from the Top being flopped by the Trees that had been overturned, fet them on Fire, which caufed a very terrible Conflagration. It was in this Situation which threatened further Calamities, tha the Government ordered the Inhabitants to provide themfelves with Water. The Officers appointed to extinguifh fuch Fires as might happen, received, in particular, the moil precife Orders on that Head. Thefe made the deeper Impreffion on People's Minds, as a Quantity of burning Matter had fallen in the Negory, and feveral Pieces of Sulphur, yet quite hot, had been picked up, on the 3d, near the Uove Ma gazine.

The 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th, no favourable Change was feen. On the contrary every Body thought they perceived the Volcanos grow wider, the Flames thicken, and the Eruption of burning Matter increafe. On the 15th nothing yet to quiet us; the fubterraneous Noife with the Quantity of burning Matter, thicknels of the flames, violence of the Reports, Sec. all increafed. On the 4th ol the prelent Month, every Thing in the fame melancholy Situation.

The fubterraneous Noife fiill equally terrible, and the fiery Matter iffuing from the Mouth of the Volcanos in the fame Quantity, and with the fame Velocity. This forrowful Event deprefles us the more, as we were fcarce recovered from the Conlternation, which the Shock of an Earthquake on the 1 2th of September, 1763, had fpread over the Ifle."
