some on their knees , adoring their Maker . Others there were running i&U > one another's arms , rejoicing in their eatifotenee ! An * air of cheerfulness and brotherly love animated every countenance .
" In a public calamity , in which the Turk , the Jew , the Christian , the Idolater , were indiscriminate victims , or objects of the care of an impartial Providence , every one forgot , for a time , his religions animosities ; and , what was a still more universal feeling , in that joyful moment , every one looked upon the
heaviest losses with the greatest indifference . But as the sun ' s rays increased in intensity , they were gradually reminded of the natural wants of shelter and of food , and became at length alive to the full extent of the dreary prospect before them , for a greater mass of humun misery has not been often produced by any of the awful convulsions of nature . A month has How
elapsed , and the shocks continue $ e be felt , and to strike terror into every brcfastj night and day . The fe&r that they may not cease before the rainy season commences , has induced those whose business cannot allow of their quitting the ruins of their towns , instead of rebuilding their
houses , to construct temporary hovels of wood without the walls ; and many families , who thought themselves , before ti \ i § calamity , straitly lodged in a dozen ajjt&tmettts , now exult at the prospect of p ^ tNg ^ the winter in a single room , twCT % leet square , " The houses of the public agents and private European individuals at Aleppo , have been entirely ruined . At Aleppo
the Jews suffered the most , on account of their quarter being badly built , with narrow lanes . Out of a population of three thousand souls , six hundred lives were lost . Of the Europeans only one person of note , Signor Esdra dk Picciotto , Austrian Consul-General , and ten
or twelve women and children , perished ; but the greater part are now steering from ophthalmia and dysenteries , occasioned by their being exposed to the excessive heats of the day , and the cold dews of the night . When it -is considered , that two-thirds of the families in Aleppo have neither the means of making a long
journey , to remove to a town out of the " effect of the earthquake , nor of building a shed to keep off the r . ain , it is impossible to conceive all the . misery to which they are doomed the ensuing winter , or ever to find more deserving objects of the compassion and charity of the opulenty whom it has pleased God to place in happier regions of the globe .
