THIII., JULY 5. The water is already risen to 16 feet 6 inches, and increases hourly; it stands in many places upon a level with the lowest dikes; measures have been in stantly adopted to raise them by means of clay and wickerwork : the lower lands are in most places under water; farmers who had cut their hay eight days ago bate lost the whole, it is all washed away ; the grass which is yet standing is now rotting in the ground. JULY 7.—The water cotillions to rise without in termission; it stands at present at 17 feet 6 inches. All oar waste canals are run over, and the high state of the water in the rivers not only confines the inun- 1 dation, but the continual rains increase it ; there is no egress for it : the river is now completely on ea level with the dikes : at this season such a lamentable., irate of the waters has never been witnessed. ARNHEM, JULY 5. • The torrents of rain which have fallen, accompa nied by water spouts and storms, in Germany and Switserland, together with the continued rain we have had in this district, have produced such an effect upon the Rhine, that the water has risen is the river at this city, to the almost, at this season, unparalleled height of 15 feet 7 inches. But the mos: lamentable prospect is belote us: it rose last night 14 inches, and is increasing hourly. In every part of the neighbour. ing country, where the lands are rather low, they are in a state of inundation. Cattle are removed into the stalls, and as a great scarcity of fodder exists, the consequences are not to be foreseen. At Velys a - dam has been constructed, which will require all the spare hands to preserve. At Nimwrgen, the water stood yesterday, already at sixteen feet one inch, and ran orer the qua At Oosterhout. every exertion was employed to resist the body of water which had al ready produced so much injury in that neighbour hood. The districts ol the Maas and Waal are nearly all under water; the height of the water in the rivers having, during the last two months, prevented any being let off. It is the same with the land near the Waal. At Rosande and Oosterbeck it is upon the point of running over; and if the water continues to rise 14 hours longer, as the appearance of things would lead one to expect, the summer dikes must give way, and the dikes of the most elevated interior canals will only remain dry. The accounts from Pannerden, Herwen, and And, are most alarming the river Yssel presents a la mentable spectacle. The grass which was cut gni Tuesday last the farmers have been obliged to pick up with boats on the following d 4, to give thek cattle food : in many places they have been obliged to cut the cora fur that purpose ; and as there is at ' fodder, such corn as can be gut at must be cat, Of the cattle will have nothing to subsist on. ZUTPHEN, JULY 5. The dreadful inundation which we have already partly experienced, and the lamentable prospect before us, have disappointed our farmers of deriving any benefit from the harvest. Our rich grass lands are already under water, and the grass which is not yet spoiled can only be got at by mowing in boats, foe the immediate use of the cattle, which we have been obliged to stall. In many places they have been under the necessity of cutting the fine winter seed corn for fodder. Should no immediate relief or change of weather take place, the injury the agricul turists will sustain is incalculable. The accounts from the provinces of Overyssel and Friesland are all very alarming : even if the weather were to take a favourable turn, the-injury *Wady sustained, and the calamitous consequences of a summer inundation, cannot be repaired. In the year 17.56, a similar calamity visited this country. This appears certain—that an unusual scarcity and high price of all provision, must be the consequence. —.-- • • The Police of Vienna, who, it snot, have not music in their souls." their principal duty being eg to detect treasons, stratagems, and spoils," ban issued an Ordinance relative to organ•players in the streets and public squares of that city : it directs that such persons shall be bound to provide themselves with a permit, and to car . r y a plates en which shall be written the number of this permit.

Weiner than the day of my first entrance into Fite capital." . At noon the King mounted his open carriage, hal ing on each side of him Madame and the Duchess de Berri. `l'he Dike de Berri, in the uniform.off,olonel General of Lancers, was near the carriage. The !sneers and the cuirassiers of the guard receded and followed the Arian. • ... The, King traversed the Carousel, the Louvre, and the goers, to repair to the Rue St. Antoine, a double Ale i of. grenadiers and chasseurs of the Royal Guard formed, a line. The white Rag, ornamented with emblems "and devices, floated at every window. An itnmsose crowd made the air resound with their ac clamationa. From ten o'clock twelve legions of the national guard, irilantry, and the 13th of cavalry, in the greatest order, formed a battalion on the Book yard; 'in front of.the Rue de'la 1 2 1111, to the wren* left of the Roe Sr. Antoine: The Prince ColonefGeneral having surveyed the line, acconipanied • by the Duke de Reggio. and fol. lowed by a' numerous Staff, returned to the Tuille riev. The King passed in review the thirteen legions, amidst the most lively acclamations. Arrivedat the head of the first legion, he stopped in front of the Rue de la Pais. and the legions formed in columns and defiled. The twelve legions were then divided in three brigades, commanded by the Adjutant-Ge neral: The band of music was placed near the car riage of the King. Each legion marched with its drums and music at the head—airs so beloved by Frenchmen, and those which the solemnity of the day rendered necessary, were successively heard. The Officers of the National Guard carried a branch of lily at their button-holes, the cavalry in their helmets, and the grenadiers and chasseurs at the end of their muskets. Near thirty thousand men were under arms, and were many hours defiling. The cry of rim le R•i was repeated from rank to rank, and by the crowd who impeded their passage. Arrived at the Place of Louis XVI. the legions gave their flags to the detachments of grenadiers, and numerous discharges of artillery announced the entrance of the King into the Chateau. The . prece ding two days woe such as to give no bores that the weather would be favourable fur the review ; but a tolerable sun and a mild air coratibuted to the splen dour of the scene. Atter the review. the population nearly reached the length from the Thuilsecies to the Champ d'Elysees. In the grand squares of the latter promenade public games had been prepared, end long rows of tables were placed, at which were as. sembled and united numerous groupes of military and the inhabitants.. Towards sic o'clock dancing corn. maned. At nine o'cleck fireworks. At this moment the King and Royal Family ap. peared at the balcony of a window of the Castle, and thus yielded to the eager wishes of an immense crowd, who received them with the most lively enthusiasm.' The city was entirely illuminated; a great numher of the national guard, the officers and soldiers of she royal guard, and the inhabitants of all ranks, had prepared innumerable banquets, ehere they united amidst cries of " l'ive k Rei," and with that mirth which the Anniversary of such a day ought , to in spire, and which had realized all the hopes it had given birth to. The Americans in Paris met to celebrate the An niversary of American Independence—Mr. Jacksna Charge d'Affaires, occupied the Chair. Among the healths drank was the fallowing : —fl To France.' our ancient Ally, we wish all happiness and prospe rity,' &c. General Rigaud, condemned to death for contu macy, has been at rested by order of the Prussian Go veroment at Saarbruck, where he had fled, and where he carried on a culpable correspondence with some other refugees. Yesterday, while the King's carriage passed the Boulevaid Bondy, a woman dressed in black, and leading . two children. adanced, with an intention of presenting a petition w hich she held in her hand. She was the wife of the condemned Pleignier. The King, who no doubt knew her, having indicated by a 12011011 that he could not receive her request, the woman attempted to throw the paper into the car riage, but she tell senseless ; and the national guards having carried her into a house just by, administered to her all the succours which her situation claimed. Prince Leopold of Naples quitted Rome on the 24th ultimo for Vienna, where he will marry the Archduchess Clementine of Austria. Count Edward Dillon, Minister from the King to the Court of SaIXO. ay, had his audience of leave. After the condemnation of Pleignier, Carbonneau, ToVero% and the rest, they were deprived of their ordinary habits, and clothed with those of the Con ciergerie, which is a waistcoat and pantaloons of di. vers colours. Pleignier for a long time refused to have it put on continually repeating, 44 1 will speak te the King." At last, when he saw resistance was useless, he °flayed. The three condemned are in se parate chant e rs. Carbonneau and Tolleron are continually writing. Pleignier preserves a mournful silence. An article from Mayence states that the Grand Duke of Hesse took possession of that city on. the Ist instant. 4° article from Otranto, dated the 25th Jane, states that " a Genoese vessel was pursued into our by two Barbary Corsairs, when fortunately a reach ship appeared and chaired them.". Two fri gates lett that port. to convey the merchant vessels which came from the Southern ports of France. The garrisQn - of Otranto has been augmented to 2400 men. The Treaty made by Lord Exmouth has made these brigands more insolent. BRUSSELS, JULY 4.

The intelligence of most interest presented in these Papers. and which deserves much attention, relates to the Emigrants from die, Mother Country, which from time to time arrive there in quest of new habitations. The Louisa from Aberdeen had just arrived there with a full cargo of these miserable creatures ; and from the remarks added by the Journalist to the notice of the arrival of the vessel, we cannot but conclude that their hope of ameliorating their condition by a change of country was very visionary. The Editor of the Halifax Paper, of Anti June, presents the following statement : " This port and that of Pictott are the only places in this Province to which Emigrants resort from Crest Britain. Their situation upon landing is some times a deplorable one—Strangers in a foreign land, they have no directing friend to take them by the hand and explain the difficulties they must expect to encounter, or thew them a mode of obviating them. The consequence of which is, they too frequently become disgusted with their reception, mike Nova Scotia a stepping state into the United States, and thus a hardy, industrious race of inhabitants are lost to the province—a loyal set of Subject.: alienated from the mother country. There no way in which the provincial Legislature could better hive disposed of part of their revenbe, than in forming some establish ment for the protection and assistance of Emigrants upon their arrival among us; but, as they are not now in Session, it behoves us to consider whether -private benevolence may not check the tide of emi gration Ism, and say 4 thus far shalt thou go and no farther.' 44 Lord Selkirk, in his work upon the state of the Highlands of Scotland, has demonstrated the neces sity of emigrating, from the new system of farming there adopted. The depressed state of agriculture in England, the situation of the peasantry in Ireland, the great number of supernumerary bands discharged f ro m the public services, all prove that many more Emigrants may be daily expected from Great Bri tain s—resideats they will become if a liberal conduct is adopted towards them, but if we proceed negli gently in the same manger as has hitherto been done, nnil 2. pity of benefiting , From the remar) Work in the pees almost self-evident, may be deduce"-a se PqrulePil; . involving in its results the most fatal en n ces al Lord SIO-KIRZ has detmwtstrated the neeeteity et emigrating, from the new system of fanning adentea in the Highlands of Scotland I" Indeed !_Wh at then are the advantages that are to conspensete thi s evil ? Or, rather : Must not that system b e f und ,. mentally wrong which tends to depopulate a cou ntry We endeavoured, years ago, to rain oa r ( 1 ,4 4 voice against the emu arkse, as it is tallet; bet t h e delusion still operated, and the system is noel pro. ducing its genuine fruits. That system which, by i t , operation, tends to maintain, on a given numb er 0 ; acres, the greatest population, ever has been, and ever will be, that which a wise Legislature will en. courage. Every system wh;ots tends to lesse n t h e population, must weaken the - moral and physi c ,' powers of the State; and must prove detrimental, and ultimately ruinous to those shoet.sighted land. holders who act upon it. The wealth and strervh of a State is inseparably linked with the ratio of its population; for the revenue depends on the numb er of contributors; and the power of calling out as armed force decreases in a math greater ratio the e th e direct decrerse of numbers capable of bearing arm, —Temporsy circumstances may tempt the cupidity wf Landhdlders, and induce injurious changes... changes which ages may not remedy ; but thoogh an extra demand for corn in time of war (that is in a time of waste) may promise great gains by a change of system from grazing to corn-raising, he must be a fool who cannot see that by a diminution of the number of mouths (the necessary result of emigre. tion) the consumption of the produce of his lands, whatever may be its kind, must be ultimately dimi. nished, and that this, with the diminution of waste by the restoration of Peace, must produce a surplus in the market, and a consequent fall in price, ruinous to all the hopes presented by his visionary golden dreamt. The result which we predicted years ago is now hastening to a completion. Even those growers v lands lie nearest to the large towns—that is, those who have the greatest number of wouilu for their pro. duce, find that the lessening of waste, by the cessation of war, has diminished the demand, and lowered ths prices, in the same proportion. Is there any thing singular in this ? Could any taut fools not foresee it But, affecting in this manner those who grow their corn amid the mouths which are to devour it, what must be the fate of those infatuated landholders who banish the costumers to foreign lands, and must trans. port their corn to distaot districts or countries, in quest, of m it-lens—to districts already overstocked with sound corn, which will ever bring a higher price than that which is heated and damaged by a long and expensive carrige. In one .4-nr.!! " the Nee! Sr:. tern," as applied to the Highlands of ScotlanJ, thick• tens their entire depopt.ition, at no very distant period, a proportionate diminution of revenue, and the loss of a nursery for a hardy race of men, who have ever been ready to flock to the army when as armed force was r.)quired for our safety and detirem. Of the poor suffering emigrants we have said nothing : but have they no claims on the COMMISITA• tion of the rest of the community ?—on the paternal and protecting care of the State ?—Any appeal to their banishers would be entirely fruitless. It would be the height of stupidity to expect that men who could coolly and deliberately depopulate the face .11 whole countries, and force not the able bodied only bin the aged, the infirm. and the infant, from the land of their fathers in quest of new habitations, should listen to the voice of humanity ; but we hare yet to learn by what right or law they can comp.l them to quit their own district, that they obtain eke. where that settlement which they had already !t -tained by birth and residence in the parish or district from which they have been ejected. That a landlord has a right to change 11;s tenant we will not dispute, but we deny the right of any set of landlords to banish the inhabitants from their native settlement. Even the Government itself cannot expatriate any subject but for offences defined by the law. %%flip then. does not the Government interfere to pot a stop to this dreadful and increasing evil ?-- But how is this to be done ? Simply by telling those who will not keep the inhabitants any longer as tenant:, that their parish—that is, the Landholders themselves. must maintain them asperters. The case of these poor and friendless victims of the " New Sys tern" of cupidity demands the attention of every pq lanthropist, of every friend of humanity and justice — A counter systein for their future protection should be organized, for without some benevolent interfe. rence, it is to be feared that this cruel evil will yet continue. As a stimulus to the exertion of the hoe volent, let it ever be recollected that, " the pact is bated even of his own neighboui, while the rich r • taincth many friends." The Halifax Papers give the following additicral particulars of the duel which took place at New York, between an Officer of the British army and one be• longing to the American Navy : " A duel took place near New York on the 1 ith nk. between an Officer of the British Army, and Mr. Paice of the United States Navy. it appears that Mr. P. was walking down Broad way with a Lady, and ebsersing the English Ofseer loolkw through bis glass from the opposite aide, crossed and denuded what be meant; the other declared It was not his Landon to Diouf, bat Mr. I'. grolniug team' warm and vociferous oo the N pi tio ' op mon to mow um Mb an op the Province is lost to us for re i * , 0 1 id 'ark made upon Lord Saui lm e s Pi •eteding paragraph, a ProPeanion, et ' , sr_ swim• ha ‘1..A.......1 - - __ 1. 11 4 !dm itwarwrywr %no _ fa emell of the offenders, Ofty stereilotfek with a paisie of fear or remorse , and they returned she !trotter part of the property Eiden by the medial* of kpriest. MONTARONE, JUNE 21. rhoi foolish plot which was formed here was de nounced by one of the accomplicei, who was exiled to Montargne, and who obtained permission to re. turn to Alencin. There was happily nobody of any consequence in this plot. The chief appeared to be the keeper of the court house and his son.— It was they who composed the Proclamations and the Bulletins which they caused to be distributed through the country. A great number have bees found writ ten by the hand. and in characters imitating printing. According to these Bulletins, all France was in insur rection against the Royal Authority. Other state ments, equally absurd, were also found. It is by such means as these that the restless hope to impose upon the credulity of country people. The other accom plices are x coffee-house keeper, a merchant, a car penter, and other persons of the working class.— Arms and cartouches were found in their houses. The Prevotal Court is now occupied with the affair. errnacr or A LETTIR Intolll 11013112, DATED JUNI 27. " An event took place yesterday, which appeared at first connected with some plan of revolt. The whole legion was taken ill with violent chokes : a de tachment of artillery which was leaving this town, and bad taken its bread from hence, was taken ill in the same way at their first sleeping-place, and sup posing -themselves poisoned by the people at whose houses' they were lodged. committed some excesses. It appears however certain to-day. that the whole re sulted from'the carelessness of Mr. Dissey, the gargle. svgatiae ; he had not paid sufficient attention to the whot he bad given out, in which, as often happens be. fore the wheat is cleaned, there was a considerable quantity of a certain black seed which affects thenerves, makes the head giddy, and deranges the stomach.— It was remarked at the time (and it is still unexplain ed why) that the Spaniards who had received the same provisions remained in good health ; this cor roborated the idea that it was a plot against the Royalists, some people even thought that the Federes were :hewing signs of being ready to put themselves in motion. Fortunately. all these sinister ideas are vanished, and every body is convinced that no crime has been committed or intended, though there has been a considerable degree of carelessness. I must mention. that the Spaniards mentioacd in the above -letter are about SOO Spanish refugees, who, after having served Bonaparte, do not dare to remiss to Spain, and who are ted at Rodez at the expense of the King of France."
