ANOTHER FLoon.—The immense quantity of rain which fell in the course of yesterday and last night. together with the melting of the snow which had previously fallen, caned another oyez flow ofJoric ,, Falls. Before day-light the alarm was given, and the waters rose from that time until about nine o'clock, when they commenced falling. It is impossible to form an exact idea of the damage done as yet. Captain Davis, of the ship Frederick, who sailed from Havre on the 18th ult. is bearer of dispatdies from the American Legation at Paris to our Govern ment. Captain Davis informs, that there is no truth in the report of a commercial arrangement having taken place between the United States and France. CoNzmLliCIAL—In consequence of the suggestions, is various forms, that there were strong grounds to Orat the British Government would, in a short time, relax their regulations and restrictions on the t: zee of their West India Coloaies with this coun try. application has been made to the Representative of that Government here for information on the sub iect, and we have been fa - roured with the sight of his answer, which is, " That he has received no in titnatito ‘‘ltatever of any contemplated change 'of Thea , Ji v s on the part of Groat Britain." This infor mation is given for the purpose of removing a nris-% taken expectation of such a change, lest the indul rence of it might prose prejudicial to public arid pri .llC We have received Sierra Leone Letters and Papers to the 22d of January. The return of the Governor, Sir CHARLES M'CARrat, from England, had excited peat joy in the Colbny. The slave-trade is still car ied on to a dreadful extent on that coast by France. The Snapper, an English cruizer, fell in with nine slave vessels, seven of which were boarded, and found to be French, completely fitted for the slave-trade. One' of the Ft each schooners boarded was a mere boat, though she had on bo ird 153 slaves, literally packed together. These poor creatures v‘ ere in a truly pitiable state, and evinced, by their piteous cries and gestures, their anxiety to be released. " The feelings of our Officers on the occasion," says a cot respondent on board the Snapper, " need not, and indeed could not be described: our sailors, not very familiar with laws or treaties, expressed their indignation in no equivo cal terms on our permitting the schooner to proceed ; they of curse feel rather at a loss to account for the rartiality shewu to the French flag." The proceedings in the French Chamber of Depn. t;es stili continue to be of that stormy character which b hews the violence of party spirit. The subject of the budget has occupied the Chamber for some days, and several reductions proposed by solve of the De puties, but rejected. The discussion was marked by some very severe attacks on the late French Ministry, it regard to the foreign policy of France. M. Baute t!c‘ VILLA UT attacked the conduct of Government in neglecting to establish a commercial intercourse with St. Domingo ; in suffering all commercial relations t', cease with the Provinces of the Rhine and Belgium, the hearts of whose inhabitants, he said, were French, and whose territory would one time or another become French. He next noticed their permitting a Power, which had been always the rival of France, peaceably to occupy Italy from one end to the other, and even to plant garrisons close to the French frontier. With regard to Greece, the conduct of the French Govern ment, he said, had been equally culpable. In other rays, the seizure of Geneva merely would have' lighted up a general war in Europe. So with regard V. Greece, it had been said that a war in favour of the Greeks was an event to be deprecated ; as the Turks were resolved never to abandon that country until they bad reduced it to a desert, and extermi nated its inhabitants. " All this," said M. VILLA.. EFT; " might do very well before the Greeks had exasperated their tyrants, by rebelling against the infidel yoke; but now that Epirus, Macedonia, the Archipelago, and Peloponnesus had almost recovered their independence, it would be a fine way of con sulting the interests of justice and humanity, to leave The Turks in possession of means to subjugate their unhappy bondsmen." M. MA NUEL also condemned the political conduct o!' the late Ministers in terms of great severity. After a very clamorous debate, the sums proposed for the foreign budget were adopted.

The accounts from Ireland. received this morning, state that the insurrection Act is producing the best effects in the County of Cork. In Limerick, and some other Counties, outrages still continue; several houses have been attacked for arms, others burnt, and cattle and grain destroyed. A murder has been com mitted on a young woman at Ballybeacon, on account of sonic resentment against her brother. The Cbrk °freckle contains a letter from Rossearbary, dated Monday Last, which states that a party of the Rifle Brigade, while conveying some prisoners to that place, got themselves drunk, and wantonly shot a pig and a goose belonging to a poor man; and after this, at Bareyhill, near Mr. French's slate quarry, they saw a boy run into the house next to the quarry, on the Roscarbary side, when one of the soldiers went up to the door with his gun cocked and presented, and in sisted on the boy coming out, who with great difficulty was pre vailed upon to do so by his terrified family ; they forced him to march on before them to the west with the prisoners, this soldier, or one of his companions, having his gun cocked and partly presented at his back, to the great terror of the boy, and all his family, who gave him up for lost. The unfortunate boy's sister, a poor half-starved creature, and almost literally naked, ran after them, expecting to see her brother shot every moment : one of the soldiers, on seeing her, waited after the others and called to her to come nut of the field (where she was t mining to watch the fate of her brother) for some indecent purpose, and on her running hack fur protection towards her father's cabin, shot her, and broke her thigh bone, within an inch or two of the hip. The Chronicle says, that five of the sol diers concerned in the affair have been put under arrest. Saturday night his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, accompanied by Colonel COOK, honoured the Adelphi Theatre, for the purpose of witnessing Life in London. The House was crowded to an over flow. llis Royal Highness arrived at the Theatre about seven o'clock, when lie was tulle:led into the Royal box, which was handsomely fitted up for his recep tion, by Messrs. RODWELL, JONES, and LEE, the Proprietors and Manager. His Royal Highness wore a plain dress. On entering the box he was received by the warmest plaudits, which were returned by bowing to the audience. The vocal establishment sting " GOD save the King," and his Royal Highness joined in the chorus. The performances commenced, and not only had a most happy excitement on the risible muscles of the august visitor, but upon the audience in general. The appearance of his Royal Highness seemed to endue the actors with fresh life. His Royal Highness quitted the Theatre about eleven o'clock, apparently much delighted. Yesterday the Duke of YORK attended Divine Ser vice at the Chapel Royal, in St. James's Palace. Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of Yostic I entertained a large party of Noblemen and Gentlemen with a sumptuous dinner, at lot k House, St. James's. Saturday last the Duchess of GLocceirran dined with the Duchess of Kaki, at her residence in the King's Palace, Kensington. Their Royal Highnesses afterwards honoured the Italian Opera with their pre sence,accompanied by PrincessFtonott and attendants. Yesterday the Duke of WELLINGTON gave a grand dinner, at Apsley House, to Lord HILL, Lord BRRIS• FORD, and a large party of Military Noblemen and Gentlemen. . . Yesterday the Duke of DEVONSHIRE enterta i ned a large party of distinguished personages at his seat at Chiswick. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of MONTROSE entertained the Niargnis of CAMDEN, Earl and Coun tess BATHURST, Lot d and Lady M ELVI LLB, Lord Srowgm., Earl of Wittrwonzit, Earl of HAnnowzY, and a large party,with a grand dinner, at their house in Grosvenor-square.

The success of the Volume which has so usefully compressed all the Voyages round the World, with eighty of their best engravings, has induced the same lid;tor to compress the substance of all Modern Travels of standard merit into a single volume, illus trated by one hundred engravings. The work will appear at half:a-guinea bound, early in the ensuing week, under the tide of the Universal Traveller. Yesterday, the Rev. ROWLAND HILL was pre vented from preaching at St. Peter's, Cornhill, although notice had been given that a Charity Ser mon, for the benefit of the charity children of the Wards of Lime-street and Cot nh:11, was to be preached by the above Gentleman, leave having been obtained for that purpose. In the evening a vast number of persons assembled in the different avenues to the church, but, to their great disappointment, large placards were posted on the doors that Mr. lllr.t was denied the use of the pulpit. The refusal, it is said, originated in a High Power. The consequence was, that no service was performed. We apprehend that the Public will be disappointed of the rich treat which they have anticipated from the. investigation of the claims of her Highness Olive, Princess of Cumberland, in the Insolvent Debtor: Court. A recent rule of the Court tenders the abso lute surrender to the office of all papers relating to the estate of an insolvent indispensable, previous to an inquiry into the matters contained in the schedule. \V lien this case was lately before the Court, it ap peared that the Princess had not given up an alleged bequest of the late King to her of £15,000, and for this omission the case was then adjourned. We now understand that her Highness is not ready to obey the order of the Court with velvet to the delivery of this important document into the office; and if our infor mation be correct, the Court, in pursuance of its or dinary practice, will strike out the case, and not suf fer it to be restored for hearing until this paper be given up. It is not for us to surmise why her High ness has come to the resolution of thus suddenly sup pressing this most valuable paper. Application has been already made to the King by his fair cousin for the payment of the ...£15,000, but his Majesty has . been advised not to pay the money. His Council, we fear, entertained some doubts respecting the genuine ness of this precious instrument.—Observer. TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS for the First-drawn ize Next .

The cholera 'forbad: hat! nearly disappeared in India, as well as at the Mauritius, where it had destroyed upwards of 10,000 of the slave population. tit the Mauritius, the attention to the growth of the sugar cane and manufacture of sugar con tinues to be increasing. The paper currency of that Island was very much depreciated, the dollar notes being at the rate of 140 for 100 Spanish dollars. At the Cape everything was dear.— There bad been no rain the two last seasons, and in consequence the crops nearly failed. Meey of the settlers would have starved, but for the Government rations. The Cape was healthy. At St. Helene, the einbetgo being removed (by the death of BONA PA RTE), all vessel; put in there, but the Island was very dull.— Indiamen were daily expected to call, to take the 20th Regi ment on to Bombay, to relieve the 47th. A standing guard, of one Lieutenant and 15 rank and file is kern on duty over Boxe r e RTCS tomb, and an Officer's guard at Longwood, which place cannot be visited but by a written permission of Government. Neither the old nor new building at Longwood is inhabited ; it was not determined what they were to be done with. The Mul grave Castle was to leave the Mauritius on 21st Dec. for London. The American East Indianian, Superb, W. °twee Master, from Canton, arrived at Cowes yesterday; left there the Bom bay, Captain GRAHAM (who stied at Manore, and the Chief Main also died at Bombay ; the ship is now commended by the Second Mate), the Royal George, and seventeen other Company's ships.

The crew arc saved ; and the cargo, by the last accounts, was expected to be landed without material injury, when, it is hope'', the vessel will be got into a place of ,safety . By a letter from' Captain Livia:, of the Lail of Dalhousie, of date the Bth of Ja nuary, we learn that the vessel had in thick weather struck a sand bank on the morning of the 18th November, and gone ashore on the island of Shipagen, about 56 miles from Miramichl; but being fortunately driven on a sandy beach, remained so little damaged, that sanguine hopes were entertained of her being got off, tile rudder being only unshipped, and a few butt ends started in her bottom.

The procession, which was cased by the Under-Graduates of the College, had a 1 ecu liarly solemn effect, as it proceeded through the venerable clois ters of the interior court. After the burial service had been performed in the most impressive manner by the Master and the Dean, it was consigned to a vault prepared for the purpose at the south side of the nave.

EP)NAlTY.—Saturdny the investigation cf this affair was resumed by Mr. Mtvsetree, in his private room at flow-street. Nuthieg further tianspired to corroborate the suspicions which lied led to the appreheneion of the parties in cestedy. Mr. 3ltesttere. asked Askew if he wished to say any thing? Askew—" I have only this to say, Sir, that lam per fect; innocent of this di eniful crime. I never was a thi. for a mut doter, though I have heels very poor. I have been iii any master's house, where there has been a thousand pote.:42.s worth of property, and never touched a thing." Mr. Cousin his for mer employer, said he believed h'm to be a very honest man.— All the prisoners were then brought in. and Mr. NIIN. , MA !., ad dressing them, slid he wished he cnn'd, consierently with !.'s ditty, discharge them ; but at present he could no:. A most hog rid and barbarous murder had been committed, and it we; a be•- lutely necessary for the public safsty that the inv.:edged-ea should he conducted with extreme vigilance, and even, pullers with some degree of severity to ihe persons accused. Ile mutt keep them, therefore, for the present; but he would endeavour to free them as much as possible from personal it.convenience cr suffering. Saturday Inn. Gregory was put publicly to the bar at Hatton- Garden, tor the purpose of his being identified, if possible, by Mrs. Robinson, who had obeerved a man loitering about Mrs. Donatty's dour on the night of the murder. Mts. Robinson could not sty diet the prisoner was the individual, and his fur ther examination was not entered into until helf-pest two o'clock. At that bout . Mr. Cenunons, t f the public-guise next door to that of the dereantd, and othtr who( sete, were examined as to the prisoner's being the individual seen in Robert -street, but none of thelll coal speak to his person. Mary and fi'dzaheth Brown were also examined, and w inlesse.; forward re specting them, but nothing of a cii:nnal nature appeared to be made out against them ; and as the three prisoners most satis factorily accounted for themselves .eluring the eight upon which Mts. Dottatty was nundered, they were discliere - ed befor.: eight o'clock at night. EXECUTll2o.—Sayward, who was convicted at the Chelmsford Assizes, for the murder of John Ball ;rd, and whose trial appeared in the STAR of last Monday, was oe that day executed. Ni.t. withstanding the hardy and impertinent appearance of Otis nen during his trial, he evinced much sorrow for the offence from that time until the hour of his execution ; forgiving his prosecu tors, and acknowledging the justice of his seetence. Ile was only 94 years of age. The body was conveyed to Ctlchester Hos pital for dissection. Saturday, Charles Smith, aged 29, was executed at Winchester, for shooting at R. Saellgrove, gamekeeper to Lord PALIMRSTON. Great exertions were Jennie to procure a remiseion of the'sen tence, but the unfortunate man himself entertained no hope of mercy, and he suffered with becoming fortitude and resignation. The inhabitants of this neighbourhood have within a few days, witnessed the execution of two fine young men, and the tranr portation of five others—and it is hoped it will prove a salutary check not only to the stealers, bet to the purchasers of game. At Stafford Assizes t'ic trial of J. Plan, 7'. narisal!, W. Bari sal!, 7'honatas iblnact;, Warr. Harris, J. Meek, and .7.'retaitui Bcherts, for the murder of Cooke, the watchman, of Wolverhampton, terminated between six and seven o'clock on Tuesday night, when the Jut y, after an hour and a quarter's deliberation, de livered a verdict of guilty against all the prisoners except Mc ale.
