Jamaica, on Long Island, July 1. We had here the most violent hurricane that perhaps ever happened in this part of North America: It began on the North fide, and run in a freight courfe across the island to the South, being about 15 miles in length, and not exceeding 80 rods in breadth, making incredible havock, deftroying almost every thing in its way: The largeft oak and biccory trees were not able to withstand its violence, but were torn up by the roots, fplit into innumerable pieces, and many large limbs of feveral hundred weight carried into open fields near half a mile's distance from the woods. Several houfes are damaged, fix barns deftroyed, upwards of 800 bearing apple-trees blown down, near 80 acres of excellent timber entirely ruined, and feveral lengths of fence blown down and broken. A grind-flone of upwards of 150 lb. weight, was removed by the force of the wind, with the frame it was fixed on, 12 or 15 feet, an iron chimney back feveral feet; a barn shattered into innumerable pieces, and the iron hinges of the doors weighing feveral pounds, were found a qarter of a mile from the place where the barn had flood. Two apple trees were removed whole with a great quantity of earth flicking to their roots upwards of 30 rood.
