FRANCE.—THE INUNDATIONS.—The Loire is be-
ginning to return to its natural level throughout its course.
At Nantes, three days ago, there was a sensible fall. We
learn by the journals of the Haute Loire, that the floods there
were caused by a tremendous storm which burst it he valley
of the Puy and the Velay, where the damage dou cis as con-
siderable as on the banks of the two rivers. All communi-
cation between the different districts of the department are
cut off, and the cross roads in each are impassable. The in-
undation is not known to have caused any loss of human life
lathe arrondissement of the Puy, but those of Yseinygeaux and
Brioude have paid a heavy tribute. At Langeac, three men,
two of them fathers of families, perished in endeavouring to
save six persons surrounded by the waters, and who had passed
a whole night in trees suspended above the abyss. A serjeant of
that place, while clearing the bridge which was shaken and on
the point of being carried away, was struck so severely on the
head by a splinter of wood, that his life is despaired of. At
Tence a man was drowned in attempting to save a piece of
timber brought down by the torrent. At Layouts the Allier
carried away several houses, two of which belonged to the
Baroness Remeuf, who, with her children, her uncle, the
Abbe Romeuf, and her servants, were obliged to nuke their
escape out of an upper window by means of a ladder. The
roads in the department of the Loire, says a letter from
Lyons, are re-established. At Itoanne a bridge of boats has
been constructed. At Fears and Montrone], the bridges are
clear. At Andrezieux the Loire is passed in a boat. In the
Bourbonnais the traffic to Nevers is carried through Decise.
Official documents declare that the loos at Roanne alone of
houses carried away by the late inundations amounts to 200,
and this number is being daily augmented. Not less than
2,000 persons are without food or raiment; and to this amount
must be added GO families belonging to the neighbouring
communes. A letter from Cesne, dated the 24th ult.. and
published in the Province, a journal of Moulins (Allier),
contains the following picture of horrors not before men-
tioned, but which it is to be hoped are greatly exaggerated:—
" We have acquired the lamentable certainty that the small
town of Saint Firmin, above Briare, containing about 600
souls, has been entirely engulphed, and that the whole popu-
lation have perished ! This horrible news, which was first
circulated on the 21st, is this day confirmed by a letter from
the President of the Tribunal at Gien, which states that the
banks are covered with dead bodies. The inhabitants sur-
prised in their beds were unable to find any means of escape.
The banks being broken down let in the body of the river at
the back of the town, so that those unfortunate beings were
completely surrounded by a torrent, which every minute nar-
rowed its inner circle, and at last completely covered them."
The little commune of Epercieu-St.-Paul, near Feurs,
has lost 42 houses out of 91. Upwards of 40 important
domains have been ravaged between Montrond and Feurs,
on the two banks of the Loire. At Vancliette all the inha-
bitants of the low grounds were forced to fly, and scarcely had
they escaped when their houses were inundated. The water
was in general three feet higher than in November, 1790.
We learn from Perdue (1 aucluse) that the floods have
forced the Dwane° out of its course, and its waters, driven
back by the works at the canal of Marseilles, have formed a
new bed on the side of the department of the Rhone. In
consequence of the late heavy rain a large building, in
course of construction, at Marseilles, in the Rue St. Jacques,
suddenly fell to the ground on the 28th ult., and buried
under its ruin three workmen. Every effort was made on
the instant to extricate them from their dreadful position,
but ineffectually, aa, when reached, they were all dead.
Their Majesties and the Royal family have just
placed at the diocesl of the Minister of Commerce and Agri-
culture a tam of 120,n00ff., for the use of the sufferen by the
inundation, independently of the private rumours from the

Customs Ruttritms.—The duties on foreign mer-
chandise imported into France during September last,
brought into the Treasury 13,800,000 francs. In 184.5 they
produced only 12,038,000 fr., and in 1844, 12,463,000 fr. On
comparing the produce of the first nine months of the three
years, it will be found that the sum received by the Treasury
this year was 114,394,000 fr.; in 1846, 113,262,000 fr.; and
in 14, 112,772,000 fr. Thew figures indicate an increase
this year, but this cannot be correctly appreciated without
deducting the corn dutie., which are liable to sudden and
peculiar fluctuations. In het, among the items of importa-
tions, corn stands in the account for September last at
1,394,000 fr., in that of the same month last year for
1,n98,000 fr., and in that for September 1844, for
1,259,000 fr. It stands in the statements of the first nine
months of the present year for 8,239,000 fr., in those of
the same portion of 184.5, for 11,683,000 fr., and of 1844,
for 11,068,000 fr. Thus the larger amount of 1846 does
not exceed those of the two preceding years by more than
1,000,000 f. When we are made acquainted with the results
of this year we shall be able to enter into details as to the
principal articles that have produced the general result. At
present we must confine •urselves to quoting the imported
quantities of MU and oleaginous seeds. During the first

SOUTH AMERICA.—INVADING EXPEDITION.—
The following memorial has been transmitted to Lord Palmer-
ston, by Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co. It is signed by
that firm, the Messrs. Rothschild, and thirty of the principal
merchants, bankers, and brokers, in the city of London :
Uy Lord,—We, the undersigned, merchants and others, resident in
this capital, beg respectfully to represent to your lordship, that, of
our body, many are largely connected with the trade, and all are
deeply Interested in the peace and prosperity of the various independ-
ent republics of South America; that it to therefore matter of
alarm and anxiety to us, the fast, which has become no-
torious, that the peace of those countries is threatened with
invasion by a hostile expedition, now in active preparation In Spain,
Portugal, and Great Britain; that this expedition is directed by Ge-
neral Flores, ex-President of the free state of the Equator ; and that,
although his avowed object is restricted to the invasion of the said
republic, the rumour every day trains ground that a more general
subjugation is meditated, General Fkees basing, to such end, the
open and powerful support ("Übe Spanish government ; that the expe-
dition in question Is known to be on a large scale, em.
bracing four thenpund armed mercenaries, steamers of great sire
and power, and transports euffleient for the conveyance of the troops;
that in Limerick the agents of General Flores am enlisting men under
false and delusive pretexts of emigration ; and that the same owra-
don is going forward in Portugal, while an encampment of a lame
form already raised is established at Durango and Orden*. in Spain ;
that the sold agents have purchased in this country, for the expedi-
tion, two steamer., of greet burthen and power, which are now in
process of being converted Into ships of war, carrying guns ; and that,
transports having been alteady chartered, the whole scheme is
hastening to maturity ; that your lordship is, doubtless, well
aware of all the clisastrom eonsnluences likely to Sow
bon an attempt to invade South . ea with a foreign
and mercenary force; that in a full conviction and anticipation of
the evils with which it is fraught, all the diplomatic representatives of
the different rewhhes have protected againt such en unheard of
aggression, proclaiming that it will be everywhere resisted by force of
arms; that, under these eireuntstanem we earnestly call your
lordship's attention, first, to the danger and less of life
which =not fail to Menge Inch of oar unwary country.

DEATH OF MR. EATON, M.P. FOR CAIIIEIIIII6E-
SH IRE.—The death, at Malta, of Richard Jefferson Eaton,
Esq., M.P. for Cambridgeshire (the full particulars of which
have not yet transpired), would appear to have been wholly
unexpected, as no c ,mmunication on the subject had reached
Mrs. Eaton, who is staying at the town residence of the
family, in Chcsham-pLice, up to a late hour last evening.
Mr. Eaton proceeded to Malta a short time since, then in
rather improved health, accompanied by a foreign courier,
and since his departure no intelligence even of ill health. on
the hon, gentleman's part had hitherto been received. He
has died at an early age, having scarcely completed his 40th
year, and leaves behind him a wife and two children of
tender age. He was born in 1806, being the ton of the late
Richard Eaton, Esq., who departed this life about eighteen
months since, and who, as well as being a banker at
Newmarket, was a large holder of land, a patron of
church property, and a magistrate for his native county.
He succeeded his father after retiring from the army, in
which he had attained the rank of Captain. In 18343 he
married the daughter of J. Conyers, Esq., and has had issue
as before stated. As a politician the name of the deceased is
not familiar to the reader, as he seldom, when in the house,
made any other expression of his opinion than by vote. He
was returned without opposition at the last general election
with Mr. Yorke and Mr. Allix ; and, in his address to the
(lectors, stated that he shonld go to Parliament convinced
that the agricultural interest was not half represented. The
residence of the deceased, in Cambridgeshire, was known as
Stretchwork Park. He was a member of the Carlton, Tra-
vellers, and Junior United Service Clubs. It should be
added that his sister is the wife of an hon. baronet well
known in commercial circles, Sir John Rae Reid, M.P. fur
Dover.

CnewP NEWSPAPERS.—The Morning Chronicle re-
cords the following in its obituary :
The lgooque newspaper, which was started In Paris about a year
I singe, on the joint Mock and half-price principle, after spending the
whole of its capital in twelve short months, and having attained a Mr.
ealation of 12,000, was sold on Saturday last as bankrupt property.
If it is itended that a moral should be drawn from this cir-
cumstance, it would have been but fair to state the circum-
stances. The Epoque was started in competition, not with
dear and whole-puce journals, but with journals as cheap as
itself. It was a Conservative paper, of the same colour in
politics as the Prune, a journal of which the 36d numbers
sold for 40 francs. The EpOrif was, moreover, an evening
paper, labouring under the very great disadvantage of Paris
evening papers, in re
late for the post of the day on
which it appeared. These manifest disadvantages the
Epoque tried to meet by increased size and virulence, and by
being an organ of the government, which gave it a subven-
tion, or at least subscribed for a very large number of copies.
With such poor advantages and under such an overwhelm-
ing weight of disadvantage;, did the evening Epoque attempt
to compete with morning journals as cheap as itself. What
conclusion can be drawn from its demise, except that it was
a most natural event

OPENING OP THE PORM-DEPUTATION TO LORD
Joan Rvosnix.—Yesterday afternoon a deputation, con-
sisting of Charles Cochrane, Esq., Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Jones,
and other gentlemen, waited by appointment on Lord John
Russell, in Downing-street, for the purpose of presenting a
memorial to the Lords of the Treasury, praying their lord-
ships to open the ports for the admission of corn duty free.
Mr. Cochrane having read the memorial,—Lorl John Rus-
sell: I do not think it necessary to make many remarks on
the memorial which has just been read. But I cannot for-
bear observing that it seems to proceed on the assumption
that there is now a prohibitory duty on the admission of
foreign corn. That was not a correct representation of the
facts of the case. Sir Robert Peel, last session, brought in
and carried a measure which very considerably reduced the
duty on corn, and under this new measure 3,000,000
quarters had already been let in, and a very large quantity
more might be soon expected. Sir Robert Peel, seeing the
impossibility of carrying the total abolition of the duty at
once, proposed such a measure as be thought he could carry,
and I, feeling also that total and immediate repeal
