Disastrous Flood in the Valley Of the Tay and
Heavy Loss Of Property-Swesp Of the
Water from Dundee.
TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

LONDON, Feb 25 1872
Dispatches rom Dundee give accounts OF wide
spread and devastating flood in the valley OF the
Tay. The waters Of the Firth and River Tay over
Moved their banks last night and poured into the
plains on both sides, sweeping everything before
the rushing stream.
The flood extends from Dundee at the mouth Of
the Firth to point above Perth, on the south
side Of the River Tav and the head of navigation.
The level country around the latter city is covered
with water, ana portions OF Dundee have been
rendered uninhabitable. The railroad between
the two cities is washed away In many Places
and much OF the road bed must be rebuilt
In Dundee the damage to property is immense.
The lower stories OF several large warehouses filed
with Jute and max are hooded, and thousands Of
bales OF nax are destroyed.
No estimate can be formed Of the losses In the
country along the banks.

The French Government and the Press.
The question of giving the government in
France additional power over the press is
exciting considerable agitation in the National
Assembly and may prove embarrassing to
President Theirs. The Ministry appear to
be divided in opinion on the measure. While
the Minister of the Interior, M. lie Franc, and
the Minister of Public instruction, Jules
Simon, urge the passage of the bill, and the
latter going 30 far even as to threaten
to resign If it be not passed, M. de
Larcy, the Minister of Public Works,
opposes the proposed law. The bill is gov
eminent one, yet it is opposed by major
ity of twenty three in the Assembly.
What is most remarkable, if the tele-
gram reports correctly, is that Gam
beta, the protested ultra republican
leader, defends the bill. These French
legislators are a peculiar and unreliable set
of men. They know less Of the true princi-
pie of republican liberty than any schoolboy
in the United States. How absurd to think
of establishing freedom or republican gov
eminent in France with the press as
trammelled as under monarchical des.
potism The freedom Of the press, as Junius
we'll said, is the palladium of civil and
religious liberty. Frenchmen of all parties,
republican as well as monarchical, when In
power, ignore this fact. They seem incapable
of comprehending the fundamental principles
of free government

DEXTER A. HAWKINS.
Mr.. Dexter A. Hawkins is q shrewd
Unitarian brother; and we cannot refrain
from acknowledging his compliment to the
HERALD as the universal preacher to the
American public" In fulfilling the duties of
this sacred Office we now admonish Brother
Hawkins that there is no sin more severely
Condemned than that which causeth man to
lead his brother astray. We suggest this as
an appropriate text for sermon from the
REV. DR.. Clarke, of Pennsylvania" in which
he may give us his views of the evil of bribery
and of attempting to lead the servants of any
master from the path of duty by offers of
money.
As to the ten dollars which Mr.. Hawkins
enclosed in this letter, we hold 1t at the dis
posal Of some religious charity. We have not
quite made up our mind as to which is most
deserving. There is q good deal of clamor
among the Union League people as to
sectarian schools and the appropriation of
money for sectarian purposes. And as an
encouragement to the efforts of our loyal and
rigorous brethren at Twenty-sixth street and
Madison avenue we shall, unless better
advised, send them the Hawkins mite" as
subscription to an anti-sectarian fund. Still,
if our readers can make better suggestion,
we shall be pleased to consider it, The
Hawkins mite must be spent for seed that
shall not fall on stony ground.
