From Lon.Ev.Post. Extract of a Letter from Stockport, Nov. 15.

"On Tuesday last a Mob from Ashton Underline came and entered our Town, who went directly to the Meal House, and sold all the Meal at Twenty Shillings per Load; the Owners received the Cash, only they would have sold it at that Price. From thence they went to the Cheese Market, which they sold at Twenty Shillings per Hundred Weight, and Butter at Four Pence per Pound. On Saturday about three hundred of them went to Manchester, intending to behave in like Manner, but met with a warm Reception from the Gentlemen and Soldiers; and though they were joined by some of the Town's-people, obliged them to retire. Wednesday went again, but were met at the End of the Town by the Sheriff, the Gentlemen and Soldiers, when the Soldiers had Orders to fire on them; and I am this Moment informed, by a Gentleman who was a Spectator, that they had killed 12 of the Mob, and wounded 17, who were carried to the Infirmary; that the Mob broke in among the Soldiers, and were immediately joined by five or six hundred People belonging to the Town, and pulled down all the Mills; two Soldiers and a By-Stander were killed; the Town was in the utmost Confusion; and the Bell was rang for all Persons to keep within Doors."




From the Ev. Adver. Extract of a Letter from Lincoln, Nov. 11.

"We hear that at Gainsborough, the Mob have been very desperate and violent, that they have destroyed one Mill and great Part of another, and gave out that they would pull down some others in the Country, particularly that at Carningham, but by the activity and resolution of Thomas Whichcot, Esq., who, on complaint of one of the Millers, granted a Warrant for apprehending several of the principal Leaders and Promoters of those Riots, and went himself with two of his Servants armed to the Town of Gainsborough, and there joined the Gentlemen who had associated for their Defence, and to assist the Constables in the Execution of their Office : They are now very quiet, two of the said Mob are committed to Lincoln Goal, and Warrants are issued out by the same Gentleman for taking up four more that have fled from Justice. By this laudable Behaviour and Zeal in the Magistrate, and the Gentlemen of Gainsborough, 'tis thought that the Peace of that Town and Part of the Country may be secured without the assistance of the Military, especially as the aforesaid Gentlemen have put themselves under Arms, and by frequently exercising together have learn'd how to use them as well as most of our regular Forces.

Foreign News.
From the Gen. Ev. Post. "Letters from Lisbon being the following ample Account of the great Earthquake that happened last Summer in the Azores:

"The 9th of July, 45 Minutes past Eleven at Night, a dreadful Shock, which lasted about two Minutes, was felt in most of the Azores. All the Houses in the Island of Angra, or Tercera, were violently shaken. The Impulse of the Earthquake, which at first was vertical quickly became horizontal, the Direction being from West to East. During these two Minutes the Earth was moved with such Force, that had the Shock lasted a few Seconds longer, all the tottering Buildings must have been swallowed up. The Tenth, about 10 o'clock in the Morning, there was another Shock, and a third at four in the Afternoon, as violent as that of the preceding Day, but it's Duration shorter. In St. George's Island, twelve leagues from Angra, the Earth quaked the same Day, and at the same Hours; but the Shocks were so violent, that 1053 Persons were crushed to Death under the Ruins of the Houses. The Consternation of the Inhabitants redoubled the 10th in the Morning, at the Sight of eighteen new Islands, which arose at the Distance of 100 Fathoms on the North Side of the Island. At the Fayans des Vimes the same Shock threw down all the buildings; no more Houses, Temples, nor Streets, are to be found there, but only Heaps of Rubbish and Stone. In some Places whole Fields and Gardens were rouled down into the Sea. There are still Slips of Land to be seen at some Distance from the Shore, and surrounded by Water, which retain their Form and all their Contents; upon one of these floating [?] Islands there is a House standing, planted round with Trees, which has been no way damaged. Monte-Formos, lying E.S.E. of this Island, was split in two; one Part tumbled into the Sea, the other stands within 200 Yards of it. From the East Point of Topo Island, as far as the Town of Caletha, there is yet nothing to be seen but Ruins; no Houses could stand the Shock; nay the Ground opened in several Places, and a Piece of Land, about a quarter of a League square, was carried into the Sea. Some Mountains moved out of their Places; others have entirely disappeared; so that the Communication between some of those Islands, which was formerly impracticable, on Account of the Steepness of the Rocks, is now open and easy; where the Mountains stood, there is now a Plain. Part of the Village of Norte Grande broke lose from the rest, and form a new Island 300 yards distant from it. All the terrified Inhabitants of those Islands live in the Woods expecting every Day will be their last, the quaking Ground shewing them Graves on every Side. Enormous Masses of Stone continually break off from the Rocks, and fall into deep Pits formed by the Earthquakes : In some Places whole Rocks have sunk into the Ground. In Pico Island these Shocks have been but slightly felt, except on that Side of it which is opposite to St.George's; that Part of it has been very roughly handled, and eleven Souls perished there. On the Day of the first Shock, the Sea broke into St.George's Island, the Waves running from East to West, and from South to West in Graciosa. Fayal had but a slight Shock, and the Motion of the Sea was scarce perceivable. In St.Michael's and St.Mary's Islands they felt nothing but the Effects of an ordinary Shock. The Isles of Flores and Corvo have been entirely free from this Calamity."
