Transcript
THE WESTERN SUN. VINCENNES, JANUARY 11, 1812. The last mail did not furnish us with a single article of news from the continent.-Of the earthquake felt here on the 16th ult. all the papers from the Eastward mention as having been felt with little or no diminution in violence as far as Pittsburgh, beyond which no mention is made of it.--From the westward as far as we have learnt it was felt with increased violence-to the south-well as far as Nashville it appears to have been much the same as here, beyond which no mention is made of it.
