Sixty three of them were shot

Letters dated this day twelvemonth, from Truxillo, about fifty miles from Vera Cruz, in Mexico, bring a most shocking account of the mountain Mano Blanco, in that neighbourhood, opening and throwing out flames, inflamed matter, and black stones, some of great sizes. As there never was a volcano there before, it terrified the inhabitants to such a degree, that a great number died of the fright.

Many people were destroyed, with 118 Indian huts. Lions, tygers, deer, &c. left the forests, and came for refuge into the town, where sixty three of them were shot in the streets.
