ROBERT ROBERTS, Clerk and Treasurer to the Trustees. Carnarvon, 19th Dec. 1814. CA RNA R VON SHIR E ,—NOR TH IVA L ES. TO- BE LET, AND ENTERED UPON IMMEDIATELY, f ST^11 AT capital Inn, called the HOTEL, or the JL UXBKIDGE ARMS, most conveniently and delightfully situated at the entranee or the town of Carnarvon, on the roul leading from the city of Bangor, now in the holding of Mr. Wakeman, who is about to retire from public business. It consists on the first iloor, of a large par- lour, and three others, of suitable and convenient dimensions; a spacious kitchen, and other ofliccs adjoining; together with a good sized bar, most judiciously placed so as to overlook the kitcheu, the entrances to the house, and to the different parlours, as well as (he whole of the court-yard, to which a bay-window is introduced. On tile first floor is a large room, which conve- niently accommodates a dinner party of eighty, and which by means of partitions and folding doors, forms two excellent drawing rooms, each commanding a beautiful view of the Menai and the Island of Anglesea. There are, besides, on the floor, as we Ila, in the attic story, a suitable number of exceeding good bed-rooms; and the cellars under ground are extensive and commo- dious. In the rear of the house, and contiguous there- to, is a spacious court yard, comprising a very large coach-house, with a room of equal size above; several stables, cow houses, larder, dairy, laundry servants bed rooms, malt house, brew house, and a variety of other offices, all arranged with great judgment; and within a few yards of the house, is a large walled garden, with a smaller adjoining. The tenant may be accommodated with any quantity of land, within a convenient distance, not exceeding 190 acres. There being an excellent market at Carnarvon, the House may receive a constant supply of every necessary article, especially fish of the best sorts. Independent of the regular travelling to Car- narvon, and the several public meetings held there within the course of the year, the very general re- sort to that town in the summer season, affords a source of considerable emolument to the Inn- keeper. And ail circumstances taken into consi- deration, there can hardly be a doubt but that a person well conversant in the business, may, by becoming tenant of the Hotel at Carnarvon, serve himself and the public, with very greatadvantage to both, especially at this time when there hap- pens to be a good opening. The tenant may be accommodated with all the valuable household furniture, plate, linen, china, horses and carriages, and also with the crops and produce of the land, at a valuation. And further particulars may be had by apply- ing to Thomas Jones, Esq Bryntirion, near Bangor; Mr. John Williams, at Plasnewydd, Anglesea or to Messrs. Poole, Attorneys at Carnarvon; or at their Qglcc at Peacraig, in Anglesea. I CARNARVONSHIRE.

DREADFUL VOLCANIC ERUPTION. Manilla, Feb. 24, 1814. Thirty years had elapsed since the volcano of Albay, called by the natives May on, had remained in undisturbed siieuce so that it vvascontemplated without Ihose feelings wLich volt-anns gcnerally raise in the minds of the neighbours. The last eruption took phce ill the year 1S00, wh^n <jreat quantifies of sand, stone, and ashes were thrown up, and caused I great damage to the neighbouring villages,- Froin that period nothing occurred to mark a volcano, so that the terror which it had occa- sioned began by degrees to evaporaie. The lofty brow of Ihe mountain was converted info a pleasant and beautiful garden, and wag t ti- tivaled with hemp, cocoa nuts, and mnny kinds of fructiferous trees, with a great qtiai, tiiy of roots and leguminous plants, which at the same time that they afforded a delightfnl prospect to the eye, gave support to many in- dustrious families. On the first day of Jan. some slight shocks of earthquakes were felt, I but were hardiy noticed similar shocks hav- I ing become very frequent since the dreadful eruption in October, 1800, During the night the earthquake became more severe, and at two o'clock in the morning was more violent than had at any time been known. It was repealed at four o'clock and from that time continued without intermisslou till the erup- tion commenced. A morning more fair, or an horizon more serene than attended the ap- proach of the day, had never been known The hills contiguous to the volcano were, however, observed to he cov.e..ed with mist, which was supposed to he the smoke of some house that Ind ÍJeen hurnt during the ni¡:ht- No sooner, however, had the clock, Oil that fatal morning,struck eight, than the volcano began to emit tremendous quantities of stone, sand, and ashes, which were instantaneously thrown up into the air, higher than the eye could reach, and caused terror and consterna- tion amoll the inhabitants, who saw lile sum- mit of the lIIollntalll assume a lerriÜc appear- ance. The eruption was more tremendous II that: had ever before been known, and e\ery one expected instant death. The first effort was to offer up prayers to the divine mercy, and then to fly to seek shelter in the caves and remote parts in the mountains; but the efforts of many were fruitless, being overtak- en in their flight by showers of stones, and burning matter, which spread death amnng them.—The misery of our situation increased as the day became darkened, and the subterra- neous noise of Ihe vulcano more severe. Tlie eruption continued for ten days, and durin"* the first four was accompanied by almost to*- tal darkness About noon on the tenth day, the noise of the volcano began to lessen, and by two o'clock the horizon )?as entirely clear, and enabled us to sefe distinctly the horrid and lamentable destruction winch thedarknesshid concealcd from liS. Five populous towns in the province of Ctimarines, and the principal part of Albay, were destroyed: more than 1200 persons were reckoned among the dead, and many that survived were most dreadfully wounded and burnt. The mountain presents a melancholy picture; its brow which was be- fore cultivated, and otrcrcd a heautiful pros- i)ecl, is iiow a (iry and I)arreti t-icsert., The mailer thiown out by the volcano covers the ground in some places from 10 to 12 yards in depth, aud in others it reaches the tops of the loftiest cocoa-nut trees. Its ravages extend over the whole of the beautiful province of CîllIarincs, where scarcely a tree has been left standing or uninjured. The opening (yf lile mountain, which forms the crater of the vol- cano, has extended itself 20 fathoms below Ihe level, whilst on the southern aspect of the mountain three new apertures have been oper ed, out of which smoke and ashes slill conti- nue to be occasionally thrown. The popula- tion of the province was calculated at 20,000 souls and all who have survived the ernptioa have been ruined or deprived of every lhillg they possessed.. a

Bourdeaux, Dec. I i .-Oil the 30th of April rst, six Spaniards or Portuguese went to a public house, kept by one Deyeart, in the Commune of Bar. Afier eating their supper, ifiev started up all at once, about hail-past I nine o'clock, murdered the landlady and a tra. veller, stabbed with their knives the two daughters of Deyeart, aud a man named Af- fans, leaving them for dead. After this horri- ble massacre they plundered ihe house of a great quantity of linen, and a considerable SUIU of money. Several Spaniards and Portuguese were apprehended and one of them Antoine Cauyssere, was tried in the Court of Assize.— He acknowledged that he was one of the six who supped at Deyeart's, but pretended, that having heard his companions propose to as- sassinate the people of the house, and rob it afterwards, he got up and ran away. The Jury found him guilty, and the Court oil the fourth instant, sentenced him to death. Several per- sons of the town of Langon having assembled Oil the 15ih of August last, at a public-house, went out in the evening upon the quaJ, and there set up shouts o/ Long live *ap~oleon. The Isle of Elba for ever Daw n wilh tlw King and the Hot/alisls the blood-thirsty for et .°r These exclamations were repealed the fol- lowing night, aud it appears that the seditious paraded the streets or Langon with a fiddler at their head. For this misdemeanor eleven persons were apprehended, and nine of them tried in the Court of Assize. Dulnb, fencing- master, and Planty, carpenter, were found guilty, but as their misconduct had not beeil productive of any consequences, the Court sentenced themboth to be banished five years, .,Id to pay the costs of the proceedings. The* seH-n others were annulled and released/
