grtracts from the Morning Papers, July 31.

tuntlysit enstss.l
Arkices from Hanover state, that the Ministers
of the Kingdom have recently had several
porlant consultations, the subject of which was
generally understood tin be, the sending troops
to Portugal; the result of these deliberations, it
is added, has been forwarded to this country.--
The' German Journals contain, numerous details
of the late storm. In the Duchy of Luxem•
bet* it web severely felt, the roofs of the houses
aad public buildings were blown off; trees torn
up by the roots, and even• the ground deeply
furrowed, so that, in minty places, the country,
for tett leagues in length and one In breadth, is
a complete scone of desolation. In Saxony and
Bohemia great damage was done to the marsh
landthy the continued rains. Between the 30th
of June and the Ist of this month the Elbe rose
upwards of 14 feet, and destroyed the crops on
tl,OOO acres of land. Such an inundation has not
been known in Germany for the last 40 years.

ictIEW TIMES,]
Oen and utch Papers to recent dates
reached us last night. The article dated Frank.
fort will afford considerable amusement to Lord
Holland, and will probably induce his Lordship
to set to work immediately to prepare another
harangue against the Holy Alliance. It is very
strange that Monarchs on the Continent should
be offended at the abuse lavished on them, since
it has long been considered as the undoubted
privilege of an Englishman to abuse all and
sundry Governments, his own not excepted. That
be may long be able to dcr so with the same per•
feet security, as Lord Holland may do so now, is
to be desired, as well for the good of liberty in
general as of our own freedom in particular. It
would not be altogether unbecoming, however, in
our Senators, seeing that their dignity is unus.
sailed, if they exercised their power with mode.
ration, and with some regard to decorum and to
-the neutral policy of their own country.

[MORNING HERALD.]
Wednesday's Paris Papers arrived last night.
There appears room to suppose that the King of
France is in a worse state of health. Ile did not
take, his accustomed airing, and the review by
Mai of the troops at Versailles was postponed.
Ile appears, however, to have transacted busi-
ness with the Minister of Finance in his cabinet.
There is no news in these papers, but abundant
matter of speculation for those who follow close-
ly the party politics and cabals at Paris, in and
out of the Court. The Ministry is literally
pelted by the Royalist Opposition, and for that
reason rather finds grace with the Liberals. It
is Intimated that it must resort to two measures
of an obnoxious character to support Itself—
marching a whole squadron of its own adherents
into the Chamber of Peers, in order to obtain a
majority there—and re-establiehing a Censorship
of tho Journals. There appears a groat probabi-
lity that France will acknowledge the Indepen-
dence of St. Domingo--no great boon, established
as its independence is do facto—but which is to
be compensated by commercial advantages pro-
vided in the treaty.
