PARTS, FRIDAY.
The Emperor has arrived at Orleans.
Numerous succours were afforded by his Ma-
esty, who always had some heartfelt words with
which to acknowledge the acts of devotion that
have been performed in the painful circumstances
of the inundations.
The Emperor set out for Blois at half-past 12
and arrived there at a quarter-past 1.
At Blois, Saumur, Angers, and Tours, the dis-
asters have been immense. At Saumur the sup-
ply of bread was cut off. The water is three yards
and a-half deep in the railway station at Tours.
The Bridge of CS and the slate quarries at Tre-
lenge are threatened. The inhabitants and the
troops are directing their attention to these points.
The water is still rising at the Bridge of Authon.
The Moniteur promulgates the bill according a
credit of 400,000 f. for the expenses of the fetes to
be given at tne baptism of the Prince Imperial.
The Moniteur publishes an Imperial decree pro-
mulgating the treaty for the extradition of crimi-
nals concluded between France and the republic of
Venezuela.
The following are the last telegraphic despatches
received from the inundated districts :
ANGERS, sth, 9 a.m.—The dyke is the Loire is in no
part cut ; but the Loire penetrates into the country
through the opening of Indre-et-Loire. The rich valley
of Beaufort is invaded. Great efforts are being made to
protect the state quarries of Tr6lazd, which are seriously
menaced. All the secondary dykes are broken through.
ANGERS, stb, 1 55 p.m.—There is now a rupture be-
tween Angers and Nantes.
LYONS, sth, 9 a.m.—The height of the Rhone is only
2 metes 50 centimetres. The Saone is at 7 metres.
A. thousand workmen are engaged in clearing the Brot-
t•zua. It has recommenced raining.
MACON, sth, noon.—The Saone is stationary. The
we Aber is threatening ; wind from the south, which
prevents the decline of the waters.
The weather has once more undergone a favour-
able change. Rain fell all yesterday ;it increased
at the approach of night, and it poured down in-
cessantly until one o'clock. This day a struggle
seemed to be maintained for a long time in the
atmosphere, and it was very doubtful whether the
day would hold up. Masses of dark cloud covered
the sky all the morning, and were drifted to and
fro by the wind. It looked as if the torrent was
every moment about to descend again, and flood
the streets, which had been dried by the high wind
during a part of the night. About 4 o'clock p.m.
the dismal-looking clouds gradually grew thinner
and. thinner, and the sun shot out some fitful
gleams. The day is not yet over, but the appear-
ande of the sky would encourage the hope that our
most formidable enemy at this moment, the rain,
will spare us yet awhile.
