AU the'accnt: u trout the eastern part of Swit. teriA lg e antivinnee the terror and the damage eause4 hy the tate inundations. The storms have corle a desnbrion into the lower parts of the Glaris. The Litith has hroktn its dikes in three clams. Thy br:ilges of Glaris and Hel szal have fallen down; that of M.olis to go to ruin. GessAti, Haul, Flirisnes anti T , ggenhuig, telt the whi,j e iio ieace at the Storms of the 4lt and Sib. All the torrents have ot , efilotted. The bridge of Ober skit is in rnins. At Basle the Rhine,rose so much on the 6th as to inundate the city as far as the fish-market ; the eitipvt,s were forced to cross the streets in boats. The Rhine continnally brought down with it trees, parts of b«ilditegs, drowned animals, shwiviitg• by these numerous wrecks the ravages it has exercised elsettliere. At Coustaitce the Lake was much higher on the 6th thou in 1666, and even someinches higher than in 1560. in spite of unremitting exertions the bridge of Liudatt is carried away. On the banks of the Lake many COMMtIIIeS are under water, and it is feared will continue so for a long the vent by which the waters must run off, 'when the Lake falls, being too small. In the t i tm , er Rlivinthal, die surface of the waters which cover the &ids and the roads, and upon which one may easily oatigate between half-ruined houses, was three leagues in circumference. At Horn and 311 along the Lake, a great many build ingc are thandoned: toe waters t!,reaten the foundations of the mast solid edifices. Itt the Obetlaud, many bridges .have been cat tied away ; the fiehltt, the meadows, the planiatiowt, were entirely submerged, and pieces of the soil were see n (loath% about, torn up by the fury of the 3ierS, eo,ered with potat.es, vegetables, ant, hay. On the 9th, due lug a vi o l e nt tempest, the lig!ltoing struck the village of Diteraweil, anti burnt a house. Near Neutiugenmanycattle were killed by lightning.

We can take upon ourselveb CONFIDENTLY to declare, that the Leading Article in the Morning Chronicle of - this day, asserting that every thing indicates that Discussions at an important, and not very emit able nature. 'are now eariying ou between tine Cabinets L.'ndon, Madrid, am! St. Petershurgh, and the report on which the speculations of the Chrtinicle atr fountlell, are UT- TI.RLY FALSE. Tile toltuwing is ilic, article a!- lusted ro : " Every thing seems to indicate that there are very impoitaot mho not very amicable discus s ions on the ta l us at presetir hetwecti the CAbineis ot.

The revolution is so far advanced, that without active aid in ships, men, and money, the whole of South America must be lost to the mother country ; and that Spain cannot contemplate this evil without looking elsewhere for assistance, if de, Med it by England. She 1 , offered it by the Einpror ALEXANDER upon conditions, with Which FEEDI• NAND says he must comply; and the PRINcE RE GENT most not therefore be surprised if he shall learn that the two California! and Minorca will be ceded a Russia in full sovereignty, in return for the aid is ships, seamen, and troops, to re duce the Insurgent Americans: Such is the ru mour in circulation." The Funds remained steady the whole of this morning at yesterday's prices, viz. 3 per Cent. Consols 73iii for the August Account. Whatever may be our sentiments respecting the snuggles for independence in Spanish America, we shall neither countenance rebellion on the one band or despotism on the other. As, however, Great Britain is in a state of amity with the seve ral Powers of Europe, it becomes her to be careful that no measures are adopted in this country in consistent with 0 , 4 amicalda relations. The fol lowing facts are, therefore, particularly entitled to the notice of our Riders :—A ship, called The Two Friends, is now lying at Spithead, on board of which are upwards of 100 English Officers who are avowedly going to suppiat the INDEPENDENTS in South America. There are, we are assured, Agents for these INDEPENDENTS now in London, and at ?ortsmouth, who promise to all Englishmen who are di,rosea to join their cause, one rank higi , er than t‘ hat they held in the British service. These Officers are also prom sed •.:00 dollars each on their arrival on the Spanish Alain, to defray their passage. We hear, besides, tiAm' ;Lists are two. fitting nut itt London, s p posed to be tor the same destination. We hay, no doubt that Ministers will act discreetly on thi , occasion, but we deem it our duty to submit the subject to their attention. Lao night and this morning we received the Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday last. The discussion on the finances of Prussia, whit h took place in the Council of State at Berlin, is said to have produced no satisfactory result. It is added that the majority of the Council cattle to the deter mination of supplicating the KiNG to convoke Re presentative Assemblies in the different Prussian provinces, in order to subMit to them the new Budget. A very at undant harvest, it is stated, is expect ed generally throughout Germany. The Portuguese squadron, destined to convey the Princess Royal of PoaTocAt. to the Brazis, bad not arrived at Leghorn on the 10th ult., but was expected in a few days. The intelligence from Baden mentions, that a great number of English families are residing there. The King of BAvARIA, who was there, was about to set out direct for Munich, some reasons not explained having induced him to give up his intended journey h) his possessions on the left bank of the Rhine. A noble Italian G►: int is organizing at Vienna, for the service of the Emperor of AUSTRIA. The Freud' General S.►v.AttY has arrived at Gratz, where he is to remain under surveillance 7 The following are Extracts from the Joaroals of Wednesday : '‘ PARts, JULY 30.—Yesterday his Majesty re viewed, in the Cheeps Elvs6Ps, three regiments of infantry of the Boyd Guard, two Swiss regi ments, a regiment of artillety on foot, with 18 pieces of cannon ; the light artillery of the Guard with 12 field-pieces ; and two regiments of horse grenadiers. The- colours were also presented to the Swiss regiments. " The affair of M. M. Comte and Dunoyer, Editors of La Censear, was on yesterday before the Tribunal of Correetiomd Police.

" It is supposed the D9ke of Wellington will assist at ►he review of ►he Prussian troops by the King of Prussia, at Stdau and in its environs, which is expected to take place about the 15th of August. " Towards the end of last month six wolves made their appearance in the Commune of Leseure, Department of Arti(:ge. They attacked several individuals, seven of whom were wounded, and one of them dangerously. " Fo4r young girls have been devoured by wolves in d,fferent parts of the department of L'Yonne. "The Duke of Reggio is to proceed to the frontiers in tyro or three days, to receive the Kifig of Prussia.

" Cove, 19th July, 1817. "MY DEAR SON,—I readily persuade myself that :lie Ca• tholic Board, whi - e they deem it necessary to remind the l're. lates of the Irish Catholic Church, of attending to the dan• gers which now menace its purity and independence, are not really actuated by distrust or disrespect, however such no tice may indicate that dispoiitien. lam rather inclined to suppose that their Address proceeds front a fervid attachment to their religion, and from an anxious fellow feeling for its dearest interest.—They knew that we have repeatedly ad dressed his Holiness upon this momentous subject, and will tell them, in language unusually energetic, they knot* that two successive Delegations front the Catholic Bishops of Ireland Mare conveyed our apprehensions to the Pontiff in person, and most earnestly deprecated, in repeated interviews, the object of our unanimous reprobation, and that our Dele gates ate neither unsupported by us nor disowned. " The anomalous state of the Irish Catholic Church and its Hierarchy, as it appears to be contemplated in Rome, is na turally a subject of astonishment to the Catholic Board, awl to others less guarded, a matter of indignation ; for by the special favour of Goo, our predecessors, under every reverse, from the first establishment of Christianity in helaw.l to the present hour, have never vacated their Sees, nor has their succession been interrupted—a glorious fact for this unparalleled in the annals of persecution. " The Catholic Board most as naturally. be astonished, that whe.i tLe envy Legislatures of former angry times acksiow leOged our iitle, in their severest enactments, for it was ex pressly as Archbishops, Bishops, Deans, and Vicar, G. neral, the Arista Cato.,tic Clergy were then denounced—Rome,alich in thoSe times was edified at the unbending firmness of these victims, should now seem to oisregard weir successors as et ;,ativua► Hierarchy ; and, after eLgulating our spiritual con cerns fora series of years in the Congregation of Propaga;nla, should farther seem to hand us over to a Secretary fur Tem poral Aliairs, induenced, it is feared, by his Anti-Catholic auvisers.
