mined ; above ,000 individuals in the greatest danger,
Uecessity, and want ; and an innumerable quantity of
'cattle, large and small, swallowed up by the waver.
Above 200 persons have lost their lives ; and this is but
a part of the infinite misery which has desolated the
parts of Hanover 'near the rivers and the sea, from
Winsen on the Luke to the frontiers of the Netherlands,
and above all, in East Friesland.

According to all'acconnts, it seems certain that the
flood here, on the morning of the 4tbi rose 21 feet,
and even higher.

The Meeting of the National Congress of the Rio
de la Plata, which we noticed yesterday, is an interest•
ing occurrence, and will, no doubt, unite and consoli-
date the several provinces into one Federal Government :
indeed, this is one of the conditions of the treaty be-
tween this country and Buenos Apes, and is alluded to
in the Address of the local Government to the Congress.'
" Great Britain," says this address, " released from
compromises with the Allies, has adopted towards the
States of America a noble conduct worthy of the most
civilized, most free, and, on this account, the most
powerful nation of Europe. The solemn recognition,of
the independence of the new Republic will be a conse-
quence of the principles she has proclaimed. And you
may believe, Senors, that this important event, as far as
relates to the provinces of La Plata, depends chiefly on
their sl:ewing themselves bound in .a national union,
and with the capacity of maintaining the good institu-
tions they already possess."

It appears that several of the Provinces have sen►
Deputies to the Congress, but a few have not. Some
of the provincial deputations are complete, others are
imperfect. Some Deputies have even petitioned for
leave to resign the honour conferredupon them by their
fellow.citizens in their election.

We have received the Alexi:cur of Tuesday, and the
Dale of yesterday, by express; the latter does not con-
tain a word of news of interest; and the only official
article in the Monitestr is a notice that Sieer Loins
CHARLES DANIEL D'ETCHEGOYEN intends to apply for
permission to add to his name that of O'Connell. Is this
intended as a compliment to the Irish leader? •

The debate on the Indemnity Law was continued in
the Chamber of Deputies, on Monday. General Foit
spoke at great length, and with considerable warmth,
against the law, which, he said, had only for its object
to throw the wealth of France into the hands of the
emigrants, and to violate the laws of property, and
the rights of individuals. Nine-tenths of the emigrants;
he said, bad voluntarily exiled themselves, and had no
claim to indemnity. The General was frequently in.
teri opted in the.course of his speech.

M. de VILLELE defended the law, as just and neces-
sary, to 1 epair the wrungs the emigrants had suffered.
He cohcluded by expressing his confidence, that the
project w.,uld be adopted, and he and his colleagues
wished to assist the Chamber in discussing the several
articles, in order to render it as perfect and as easy of
executi.in as posssible.
M. DUPLESSIS GninAnax, after a speech which oc-
cupies nearly five columns of the Monitenr, concluded
by stating, that the difficulty he telt in making himself
under stood determined him to conclude. He was
again. t the project in its present state.
M. de SALABERY was in favour of the law, but his
speech is not given in the Momiteur.
