Report from Europe that Vesuvius had erupted.
Transcript
NAPLES, June 26. Vesuvius, which had been quiet for several years, has suddenly broke out. At nine o'clock on the morning of the 12th, loud reports proceeded from the bosom of the mountain, which were followed by an eruption of cinders and smoke. After this, the mountain remained quiet for about an hour. At eleven o'clock two fresh reports were heard, when the crater vomited forth fire and smoke, which completely covered the horizon. On the 13th and 14th the mountain was calm, but at the instant we are writing the volcano is again in action, and its crater is covered with an extreme column of smoke.--Journal de l'Empire, June 26.
