FROM

ROM Lisbon, That they had received the following moft dreadful News, viz., That what they call a Thunderbolt had penetrated thro' the Tower of Campo Mayar (on the Frontiers next Spain, in the Province of Alantejo, and well garrifon'd)" in which a Magazine of Powder and warlike Stores were kept, there being then in it 570 Arroves of Gunpowder, each weighing 32lb. Eng. lih, 4000 Shells filled, &c. which the Lightning fet Fire to, by which the greatest Part of the City, was laid in Ruins, no more than the one Half of two Streets being left ftanding; above 1000 Perfons were mife-, rably fhatter'd and torn, and many deem'd incurable. The Number buried under the Rubbish was unknown; only 300 had been dug up.

From Conftantinople, That every Thing there feem'd ripe for a new Infurrection that the People were put into continual Frights by the Seditious Carriage and Infolence of the Janizaries and that the Grand Seignior was affembling an Army of 30,000 Men at the City Gates, for his own Security, in which Body there was not to be one Janizary.

From Seville. The Court has gi-. ven Orders for embarking 16 Companies of Grenadiers, two Battalions of the Regiment of Arragon, and 4000 Horfe, immediately for Oran; from whence they write, that the Moorish Army before that Place was augmented to 40000 Men.

From Francfort. The Accounts received here, for thefe 10 or Iz Days paft, of the Damage fuftained in feveral Parts of Franconia, but chiefly near the Tauber and the Main, by Floods and Inundations, furpass all' Imagination. At Wertheim, 25 Houses were born down and washed quite a way; one Side of the Great Hofpital, built of Stone, was carried away by the Force of the Water, together with the Church; and in that Place alone, above 200 Tons of Wine vere deftroyed. At Schwabach, one of Towns in the Marquifate of h-Anspach, Part of the

ftrong thick Town-Wall, and the whole Tower where the Gunpowder was kept, were forced to give Way to the Torrent, which raged under as well as above Ground; and the Fall of that Tower made the most frightful Crash that ever was heard. In fome Places, as Bifchoffheim, &c. the Water role quite to the Roofs of the Houles, and drowned Man and Beast: Nay the very wild Beafts could not efcape. Houfhold Goods, and Furniture of all Sorts; Corn, Wine, Beer, and other Provifions; Houfes, Barns, Walls, Mills, Stone-Bridges, &c. were born down, mix'd altogether, and beat to pieces: Gardens, Fields, Meadows, and Vineyards. were in fome Places two Yards thick in Mud and Sand, "and great Trees torn up by the Roots: Many Fields and Meadows are half covered with dead Bodies of Men and Beafts; others with the Fragments of Houfes, Furniture, Planks, the Wheels of Mills, &c. Abundance of dead Bodies were found clinging to the Boughs of Trees, fome even in Bushes, and others hanging to the Wheels of Water-Mills. Ships and other Veffels, Ship-Mills, Floats of Timber, &c. lying upon the Rivers, were carryed quite away."

From Madrid. The Preparations for a confiderable Armament both by Sea and Land, are carrying on with great Vigour thro' this Monarchy, and is reckon'd they will be finifh'd by next Spring. The Army which is to be affembled against that Time, will amount to 40,000 Men; every Parifh in the Kingdom being to furnifh five Men, to recruit the old Regiments, and to form new. "Tis written from Cadiz, that four French Men of War were arrived there, belonging to a Company erected in France, to fifh up the Effects of the Ships of the Spanish Flota deftroy'd at Vigo, in the Year 1702, by Virtue of the Permiffion they have obtained from his Catholick Majefty, in Confideration of an Indulto of 15 per Cent. of all the Effects they fhall fo fish up.
