'LEiritie; JULY 6.
We have received very disastrous accounts
vages occasioned by the ovet flowing of the Elt
waters of this river having been augmented in Bohemia
by incessant rains, and the melting of the show, which
bad remained upon the heights in that country, the re-
stilt has been, that on their reaching Saxony, they over
their banks and inundated the country to a ton.
siderable extent. At Dresden all the lower parts of tap
city were under water, and the'comastfnication of tho,
inhabitants with each other took place in boats. Im-
mense piles of Bohemian wood, which were deposited
near the river, have been swept away, and the Elbe% from
Dresden to Wittenberg, is covered with floating timber,
and various other objects which had been carried away
by the flood. Considerable damage has been done ro
agriculture also in the neighbourhood of the river.
Several South American merchants have arrived here,
principally front Rio Janeiro, Buenos Ayres, and Colom-
bia. It is pile their purchases hive not as yet been very
considerable, they having come chiefly to establish cor-
respondences and make connections. The orders they
have given are mostly for Jinni cloths. Large put.-
chases of cloths of middling quality continue to be made
by the English. This article is also in great demand in
other directions; so that our manufactures have resumed
a considerable degree of activity. The same *prosper-
ous state of things exist in Silesia and Bohemia. Our
wool also is beginning to be much sought after. The
last wool sales in Saxony and Silesia were very satis-
factory. Great quantities have been purchased for
Hamburgh houses, to be manufactured for the South
American trade.
BERLIN, JULY 12.
The Vistula has overflowed its banks. In the neigh-
bouring villages the water has done great damage, and
has already risen twelve feet.
DRESDEN. JULY a.
The waters of the Elbe attained the greatest height in
the night of the 28th ult. Tire stream has now receded
within its ordinary channel. The traces of desolation
that it has lett behind are very melancholy. The burn-
ing of a great dyke near Prague, occasioned by vast
torrents of rain, is said to have been the chief cause of
this misfortune.

The French Papers of Tuesday have reached us. The
Etoile seems quite delighted at the idea of our sending
a few troops to Portugal, but seems so ignorant of the
policy of the British Cabinet as to suppose our oh.
ject in doing so would be to abet the principles of the
Holy Alliance.

The same journal has a sort of mystifying article re-
specting Hayti, and the Commissioners from that coun-
try now in Paris, which throws no light whatever on the
rumoured negotiations for recognizing its independence.
The 'toile states, on the authority of accounts from
Frankfort of the 14th inst: " that in the conferences
which have taken place at Johannisberg, it has been
decided that in consideration of the present state of
things, and the low price of goods, the Peace Contingent
of the German Confederation shall experience a con-
siderable redaction.*

If such a resolution has been come to in Germany„
and we see no reason to doubt it, it furnishes another
strong proof that the peace of Europe is not likely to
be disturbed, and that all the reports of assistance being
given to Spain, to enable her to recover South America,
are but mere vapouring.

The last accounts from Rio de Janeiro stated, that
the Emperor of Brazil bad appointed a new Governor
for Pernambuco, with a view of conciliating the two
parties. It would appear, however, from the following
intelligence, received direct from the latter place, that
the concession had either not been communicated,or had
not produced any effect upon the authorities there. It
presents a melancholy picture of the state of that town :
PIZENAMBUCO, JUNE s.
lam sorry to inform you, that are here in the
most distressed state from the blockade, of which I see
no prospect of termination, except from want of provi-
sions; the orders of the Commodore being to confine
himself strictly to the blockade, unless he should receive
different instructions from Rio, which cannot be ex-
pected until the rejection of the proposals made to Joze
Carlos shall be known there. The stock of farina and
dried fish is exhausted, and flour is diminishing very
fast. To add to our distress, the supply of catch is also
nearly cut off, the troops from Paraiba, which are in this
neighbourhood, having been successful in several
skirmishes with the Pernambuco troops which were sent
oat against them. The situation of the lower orders is
truly appalling—thousands of them ate, I assure you,
literally starving. As to trade,it is completely nominal.
We are doing nothing in exchange, and there is great
difficulty in collecting what is due from the merchants.

Hamburgh Papers reached us this morning to the
16th inst. The following are extracts :

HANOVER, JULY 15.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has
returned to Mont Brillant, from his tour in the princi•
palicy of Osnaburg.
Count Munster is expected from Johannisberg to•
morrow. The Prince Bishop of Hilderheim, who was
setiously indisposed, is recovering.

SCHWERIN, JVLY

We flatter ourselves with the hope that his Majesty
the King of Prussia will arrive at Dobberam at the
beginning of August. We expect at the same time,
their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam-

bridge and the Grand Duke Nicholas and his consort.

CHRISTIANIA, JULY 2.

After the breaking up of the camp, the Viceroy and
his consort will spend, as we hear, a few weeks at the
baths of Ransbosa, and return by the latter end of this
month to Stockholm, there being, it seems, no intention
of his coming to Norway.
The Storthing has now drawn up the Address unani-
mously resolved upon to the Government, declaring its
resolution respecting the Royal proposals for changes
ut the Constitution. It contains a strict abstract of the
motives of the resolution, which are on the whole the'
same as those alleged by the Committee for its disap-
proval. The Address is signed by Count Wedel Jarls-
berg, as President.

SWITZERLAND, JULY S.
Some objections of the Great Council relative to the
Bull creating the Bishopric having been removed,
it has now unanimously resolved " The Little
Council is charged to cause the PapaL Bull to be eze-
