We received this morning liamborgh Papers to the
28th July, but they contain no political news of the
least interest. An article from Berlin announces the
jweal of the Earl of CLAXWILLIA/4 ham that Court, and
Iris appointment as Minister Plenipotentiary in Den-
mark. Lord H. FITZGERALD, our present Minister at
Copenhagen, succeeds Lord CLAN WILLIAM at Berlin.
These Papers announce two most destructive files—
one at the town of Boras, in Sweden, on the 14th ult. by
.which, with the exception of some public edifices and

abo2t 40 private houses, the whole town was reduced
•to ashes. The other took place on the 10th, at the
'Prussian town of Arten, in Thutingen, and destroyed
no feu than 100 houses.
On the 11th immense damage was caused by lie

waterspouts on the Clam mountains. The village of
Lauterbach aids several others, suffered severely, above
forty flossiest with every thing they contained, having
:been washed away, and 120 more rendered uninha-
bitable. Between fifty and sixty persons perished,
The• devastations caused by a visitation of this kind are
spite dreadful than even the effects of fire, the latter•
leaving at, least the ground on which the houses stood
Pet, is this instance, the torrents which rushed down from
the mountains, brought with them a quantity of trees,
vast masses of stone and rock, mud and earth, leaving
the sides of the mountains bare, and burying the gardens
add meadows below under a vast and confused pile of
rabbith. This circumstance, renders the injury irre-
parable, as centuries will elapse before those rocks,
which are now laid bare, will be again cover ei with
*Ards. The large and beautiful village of Lanterbach,
which boasted of the rare distinction of not having a
single pauper, was wholly destroyed in the short space
of half an hour.
During the whole of May and June, the South of
Germany, particularly such parts of it as border on the
Danube, the Drave and Save, was the scene of dread.
fel ravages, occasioned by the overffawing of these
rivers. Many villages had been abandoned by the
inhabitants, and vast tracts of country laid under water.
The damage is estimated at several millions of florins.

The Paris Papers which arrived last night, are ex-
tremely barren. The Qvotidieaae, however, contains a
short statement, which, should it receive confirmation,
would °Truant a number of sinister speculations with
which some of our contemporaries have been, for some
days past, alarming themselves and their readers,
respecting the affairs of Portugal. If we have ab-
stained till now from noticing them, our silence pro-
ceeded from the disrespect alone, with which we
treatecithcm, as we could never bring ourselves to
believe that a country in whose well being the people
and Government of England take so lively ati interest,
should have no other guarantee for her future tran-
quillity and good government, but the pleasore- of
so wayward an individual as the Infant Don Mt-
avec. It now appears, if there be any truth in the
statement of the Quotidiew -(no bad authority, by-
the-bye, in such matters,) that this Prince, so far
from meditating a precipitate return, or claiming
Ilegency as his right, has taken a lodging at Baden,'
near. View's, with the intention of passing the season at
the waters. It is true, he could effect his escape as
easily front the one place as from the other, provided
he entertained so rash a design, and provided the Aus-
trian Government was indifferent to his movements.
But we dispute the probability of both these supposi-
tions, for tbatTriaces wrongheaded as be is, will scarcity
