DREADFUL TORNADO ! Extract of a letter from a friend in Jonesborovgh Terressce to the Editor of the Staunton Eagle, dated June 1st. 1808. ' On Tuesday the 24th ult the inhabitants of this Town.and neighborhood were astonished much at the appearance of leaves, small pieces of Limbs, bark &c. falling apparently from the clouds. The day was mild, except a breeze now & then from the S. W. with a few flying clouds, but no rain, nor was there the least appearance of any extraordinary commotion in the heaven, to produce such a phenomenon in this quarter, every body conjectured it was the effects of a violent wind but what distance from us, could not be imagined, as no noise was, heard, it was generally believed to be at a distance. Accounts from various quarters for more than

40 miles around, state that the same appearance was ob-

served.

Since writing this a gentleman passed through this place who was an eye witness to an awful scene in the neighborhood of Knoxville, a Tornado struck the river Holstein ac that place, and threw columns of water out of the bed of the

river higher than the surrounding trees, it was on the same

day the leaves &c. fell here, and upwards of 100 miles distant its ravages were truly awful, it arose in Roan County, and proceeded in a South east direction thro Knox, Sevier and part of Jeffcrson and Cocke Counties and struck the Mountains near the Warm springs, in North Carolina. House-- Barns-- Trees and every thing gave way to its un-, estitable. And our informant states, that several lives were lost-- it was accompanied with Hail of an extraordinary size-- he also states that considerable quantities of Fish were thrown our of the rivers over which it passed. A more particular and authentic account of the awful wind will no doubt be publishcd but to enable the mind to otherwise conceive of its violence. I make this statement respecting the falling of the trees &c. to a distance of upwards of 140 miles from where it happened, and within the space of perhaps less than two hours. Another letter says, some of the Hail-stones weighed 2, ounces, and measured 10 inches in circumference.

LONDON, April 20. A Letter from Sweden lays, " the important fortress of Sweaborg, in Finland, was attacked by a force of 10,000 Russians who, after an obstinate contest of two days, were completely repulsed, leaving fifteen hundred men killed and wounded on the field."
