EAR.QUA_KE AT cARAiCCAs-
The following account is copied from the Philo-
sophical 'Mat_v;aiine, for March, l8l3,_antl is,
perhaps, the most accurate account which has
been published of that awful calamity.
The earthquake which took place last year at *
tlie Garaccas, and laid waste the line city of that
name, besides a great manyothers in this rich and
extensive province, has been but supei fici-ally de-
scribed in any of the newspapers. The extra-'
ordinary convulsion has‘not (Dec. .1812) as yet
ceased : it has already caused, and may stillocca-3
sion, so many calamities» til?“ i‘ <l¢5fi'|"'t‘$ .10 be
more particularly laid before the public.
On the 26th of March, l8l2,the iii-st cornme-
tion took place. A shaking was lirst pcrceiietls
strong enough to set tlie_bells‘ringing ; It lasictl
about six seconds, and was folioued by t=ii1"iI1i.t‘I‘-
‘val of ten or twelve seconds. (lLlI‘lDg_,WlllCh this
eargli exhibited an undulatioii siniila! to UN: m0-
tion (,f_tlie sea in a calm; the ClIs‘i_£l:VVE1S then SUP-

mosi.}». eric thunder; the eettli was agitated with
a quickness which eannotbc described, and seein-
ed to boil like water when siibjected to the heat
of a very strong fire: there“ was then a perpen-
dicular rumbling or sire/iizus for about four soc-
onds, followed by agitaiioiis in an opposite direc-
tion from north to soutli, and from east to west,
for three or four seconds also. This short but
awful period was sufficient to turn the whole city
of Caracc-as topsy-turvy, \'4ltl1'_§ip\\'£ll‘(lS of thirty
towns, and the coti ry houses and numerous es-
tablishments sprea%v,er the suxface of that de-
lightful province I I an instant all was tlesi.ro_v-
ed to an extent of 300 miles, and 80,000 inhabit-
ants ceased to live, while thousands were dreadful-
ly wounded. .
The city of Caraccas, placed at the foot ofthe
declivity of the highest mountain, called La Silla,-
and on the margin of an immense plain .tlirotigh
which several rivers flowed. was coiisiderably cl-'
evated above the level of the sea, and altvayti en-
joyed a cool and agreeable tcmpc_i-attire. The
25;}, of Marc}. (being good Friday) hatlattraete-'1
all the inhabitants to. the ehurclies of the city-
which were destroyed ; thus serving; for their
tombs; the churches of La "l‘l“i!’llLl‘.‘..'l and Alta
Gracia, which tvcre in tlio'mo’re iinmediate vicin-
ityvof the mountain, CxpeI'icnce(l nioic forcibly
the effects of the exti‘aordinary commotion :. for
although originally more than 150 high, no part
of the ruins exceed five or six feet in height; and
some idea mav be formed of the violence of tho

ported by columns and pilasters exceeding. i"0i”._v
feet in circumference. A
A superb range of l)a\“.‘aCl£S, two stories high,
capable of containing 4000 men, and eerving as
a depot for the artillery, shared the same riiin ; a
regiment of the line, in the act of inaiching to
join in a religious procession, was almost wholly
swallowetl tip ; a few men only being left al'i'.'e.
It is impossible to paint the terror and desol.t-
tion which this czitastrt-plie occasioned ; disorder,
at their height. At first every person fled as well
as they were able, prostratiiig themselves to stip-
plicate heaven for mercy ; in this state, the iridi-
viduals who escaped death, mutilated or wounded,
covered with dust, their clothes torn, and cany-
ing in their arms their children, or the sick and
wounded. presented a most heart rending sp.-~er:;-
clc. After the first momcntsofterror, in uhitzh
self preservat.i.on made every other consitl-.--i-atiori
give way, the most painful recolleciioiis zigitstetl
those who escaped ; every one with (listraeted
anxiety, sought for a relation or fiiend. and iii-
quired‘ for them, with looks of terror and afiriglrt.
Among the bloody and (lusolate ruins, those who
remained of the unfortunate population’, were
seen endcavoring to dig tip, without other instru-
ments than their weak_and "trembling hands, tl;-e‘
living and dead who were coiered by the fr:-gs
inents: every one ran to and fro over this vast
burial place, throwing thcmselxes occasionally 0::
the rubbish, and listening with an attentive car to
the groans of the iinfortun-.;‘e, whose lives were
pieserved, altliotigh shut up, perhaps irrer.ovcra-
bly, in the very buildings where tht-_y had enjoyed
tranquility and happiness but a few minutes be-
fore. .~
The-i-emaiiitler of the (lay, and the “hole of
the niglit were devoted to this iiiter«:stin;z and pi.-
ous occupation. q
perfoim the last offices to the dead, but it was im-
possible to bestow on them the i-i_r;‘nts of sepal-
turc ; _instrumciits and a suliitient i_innibei' of per-
sons were not who found. in order to avoid the
effects of a pestilence, therefore, from an infected
atmosphere, the bodies were piled up‘ at dili‘ereiit
stations, and burnt, with the timber of the ruins.
The first sad moments after the catastrophe were
thus spent: other labors, equally if not more dis-
tressing, remained to be performed.
Almost all the provisions, fiiriiiture, linen, and
had been stolen by the lower class of the popu-
lace,.or the negroes: every thing was in slioi-1
wanting. The violence of the earthquake had
destroyed the water pipes, and the rivulets were
eiiher dried tip or diverted from their usual
course. There was, in faci,’no water near the
City; there was no vesselsyin which to collect it,
and_ it was necessary to travel far off before at
quantity ‘sufficient to allay onc’s thirst was ob
tained, even by using the bands to carry it to
their mouth. ‘ "
Pressed by thirst and hunger, and the want o"
an asylum, those who possessed country houses
fled. towards them on foot; but alas! nothing
ces, when it is rccollecicd that they v','ei‘€iSl|i'J‘ "
confusion, despair, misery, and fanaticism, were ,
Next day it was necessary to.
the usual necessariesof life, were destroyed, or -
