GREAT OVERFLOW IN BELGIUM.
AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.
[ By Telegraph for The Baltimore Clipper. !

New YORK, Sept. l-6 p. NJ.
The American Mail Steamer Atlantic, arrived
here to. day ut IL o'clock. She brings Liver
pool dates to the 2lst and London to the Goth
ut.
Jenny Lind, the distinguished vocalist, arrived
in the Atlantic. She njoys good health and is
in fine spirits There are in all 1873 passengers
on board.
The news brought by this arrival is Of CONNER
cial Importance as regards cotton and corn but
politically it possesses little interest.
1t is stated that, upon leaving Liverpool, the
excitement to see Jenny Lind was so great, that
it was with difficulty she could reach the Dock
On the voyage she made herself quite popular
| by her engaging manners, and seemed to enjoy
herself greatly, dancing almost every night and
participating freely in all the amusements. She
also gave n concert for the benefit of the sailors,
which realised f7O sterling. A large crowd
was waiting at the wharf to receive her on the
arrival of the steamer, and she was loudly
checred. The crowd followed her carriage to
the Irving House, where they continued their
demonstrations Of enthusiasm, in acknowledge
ment of which she appeared several times at the
hotel window.
The accounts from Schlcswig represent n
complete suspension of the operations Of both
armies in the field, but the general impression
is that the stiffness will not be Of long duration.
Some of the new German recruits are said to be
already murmuring at the inactivity to which
they arc compelled to summit. Advces from
Belgium state that large tract of the country
pr, sents most melancholy harvest scene For
nearly sixty miles all the lowlands are flooded,
and the corn floating about. Thousands of
acres of water stretch on each side of the rail-
way, and might be taken for lakes, were it not
for the rows of tree tops that mark the margins
of the submerged fields
BELGIUM
The floods had done great damage to the low
lands. For sXty-one miles between Lille and
Nemur the fields are completely flooded and
the crops destroyed, as also in other places on
the line. A letter states that if the floods are
general, Belgium must be IL buyer of foreign
corn this year.
Accounts from Belgium report that serious
inundations had occurred there, by which flour
and grain had suffered greatly.
SCHLESWIG HOLSTEIN.
RENDsBURGH, August lG.-At present there
is complete suspension of the operations Of
| both armies, but an engagement is looked for.
| Weather intensely hot, but measures arc be-
ing taken to preserve the health Of the troops.
The towns Of Sonnincn and Fredrckstadt
had been occupied by the, llolstein troops after
| the Danes had visited them, and the Schlcswig
lIolstcin Ricmcn had rccapturcd 400 oxen
| from the Danes on their route to Schlcswig, and
brought them in safety into the IIostein terri
tory. The cholera, has been making fearful
ravagcs in Brunswick ; since the month Of June
300 persons had died.
On the 7th of this month the King Of Den
mark contracted morgantic marriage with Lola
Rasmussen. The marriage was celebrated by
the Bishop of Jutland Mdllc Rasmussen was
Copenhagen corps Of officers she then became
acquainted with the King, and has now been
raised to the rank of Baroness Danncr. She
has great il fluence over the King: persons well
informed state that she exercises her influence
in the Danish revolutionary cause, and was the
person that induced the King to make such
sudden concessions to the Casino club in the
Copenhagen revolution of 1919. This marriage
is so far important that it confirms the extinction
of the royal house of Denmark. On this ground
the Ministry opposed this union till the protocol
was signed this done, the marriage was to the
interest Of Russia.
The Kolner ZIitung hasa tclegraphic despatch
from Hamburg {" the 18th ult, stating that an
engagement took place on the evening Of the
10th, between Danish steamer accompanied
by two gun boats, and Holstcin steamer (the
Lowe) which was likewise supported by two
the night, and at half past seven in the morning
the Danish vessels rctrcatcd. The Love- has
suffered from the cncmy's fire, and one of the
gun boats was in danger Of being burnt.
PRUSSIA AND AUSTRIA.
We learn from telegraphic DESPATCH dated
Berlin August 18th, in the KoLntr Zeit,ng that
the Austrian invitation for another Diet (Bun-
destag) reached Berlin on that day, and that
Prussia is resolved to decline accepting any pro-
posal in this or in similar sense.
Berlin letters of the 9th August, state that
it is now confirmed by the semi-ollicia organs
of the Prussan government that the differences
between Prussia and Austria respecting the in
tcrpretation of the regulations on the sub cct of
the federal iortresscs, differences which resulted
from the refusal of Austria to allow the Baden
troops to pass the federal fortress Of Mentz) are
about to be submitted to a court of arbitration
Austria has appointed Bavaria. Nothing is
known of the power which Prussia is about to
appoint.
AUSTRIA.
TIE fine of 100000 florins imposed on the
Hungarian Jews has at length been formally re-
mitted, and they have pledged themselves to de-
posite in the hands ofgovernment 100000 flo
rims as a fund for Jewish schools. This volun-
tary tax is to be paid within two years 1t is
not the intention of government to proceed to
the sale Of any Of the estates confiscated in
Hungary, but to farm them for period of two
or three years. There can be little or no doubt
that they will eventually be returned to their
former proprietors.
ITALY.
The Pope is in sad perplexity, in consequence
Of the conviction of six murderers, to whose
sentence of decapitation he is called upon to
aftix his name. No execution has yet taken
placo updor tba raiun of Pins * owing TO his
invincible reluctance to sign death warrant
He wishes the mscrcants to be sent to the gal
leys for the rest of their liyes; but the govern
ment and the judges are not inclined to give
way.
Accounts from Verona state that the Aus
trian Government had rejected the propositions
of the Lcmbardo Venetian deputies relative to
the loan of 100000 forms The govern
mcnt does not wish to pledge itself not to issue
