Changes which threaten its ruin. Smaller falls of

and Bern, preceded the great avalanche at Goldau.
At prefent the finely cultivated plains around the
Sempach Lake are threatened with being laid corn
pletely under water. Betides this hitherto luxuriant
difriB, large fields are daily finking below the
waters, and the greaten part of the road round
Sempach Lake is annihilated. In fume places the
loan ground is already feventy fret below water.
We have had no accurate account as et of the lofs
of the men and cattle, Although travellerkinfoim us
it was immenfe.
The German cantons hare alto fuffered very eon-
liderably. It is Paid that the Pfannenberg which
•overhangs the town of Bregenz on the Bodenlake..
has been rent afunder. The gap in it, which wa•
four feet broad, is now forty feet in length. A fecond
rent has been fince, made and an earthquake was

Mr: SWAN was about to make fume obfervations in fttpport of
.poftponing the bearing of this petition to fame day fubfequent to

Eubank to that Houk, upon Monday fennight, a motion for print-
ing the Oude papers, he (Mr. Pole) conceived that the motion was
meant to be general, and that all the papers relative to the Oude
charge. if the motion was acceded to, would be printed. Hellas.
however, fine learnt, that after he had left the Houle, the Hold=
Lord, in anlwer to a godlier% put by one of his Mikity', Mini-
kes's, had ezprelkd bisiotention of moving, that three papers only
Naa. 3. 49 and s.relathre to the Oude charge,be printed. This did
not appear to him to be quite a fair proceeding towards the Noble
Perfon who was the objcdl of that charge. Underßanding, there- I
fore, the Noble Lord's notice to band fur loch a motion, be could
now give notice that he would upon the fame day moot for the
priori.. of all the papers cone eroing that chargo, neitjnotning by
this to anticipate the decifloo of that Hoare upon the Noll,. Lord's
motion, but thinking that if that was agrtul to, k would he expe-
dient to take the fade of the Hoare upon this alfo---Adpuntod.
