The damages done by the late storm at Oporto, are estimated at above 2,000,000 crusadoes. The ravages made in the province of Tras la Montes are terrible. From Coimbra, we learn, that the agreeable and fertile province of Beira, of which that city is the capital, has been laid waste by the over-flowing of the Mondego, in such a manner that it will require many years to restore the houses, vineyards, and fruit trees, to their original state.
As a proof that the waters were raised to a very extraordinary height, to inundate so elevated a country, they have carried away three arches of the famous bridge which is over the Mondego.
