From Germany, April 1.
We have accounts from Landshutbruke, that in the village of Neudorf, a tailor found himself obliged to quit his house, because he had for some weeks heard a subterraneous sound, which sometimes seemed like a discharge of artillery, and at others like an ordinary cannonading. Some naturalists were sent to examine into this phenomenon, who seem to be of opinion that the noise must be occasioned by some subterraneous cataracts, formed by an opening which the river Meur has made for itself. This philosophical decision has not satisfied the inhabitants of the place, who are very much alarmed at the phenomenon.
