Despot. " On the - 19th tilt. BUONAPARTE made a speech to the Senate and 'Legislative Body, which our readers. have seen, and on the 20th-there was a Decree directing the Legislative Body to appoint a Committee to take into cOnsisi,tation the docu-- ments relatiVe to the negotiation that should he laid before them. 7he Senate received a similar compunication, and both Bodies. appointed Com mittees. On the . 26th, M. FONTANES, as Presi dent of the Committee, made 'a Report to the Senate on the communications which had been mode io them. At the. same• time we understand the Legislative Budy made a Report, in. which they declared it to bethcir opinion that the Eni peror should comply with the proposals of peace .that had been made, and in very plain but respect ful language, they represented to the Emperor the absolute necessity that t4ere was for .giving op his conquests, and restoring , peace to En rope. BUOSAPARTE was etasperated .at'this Re port, and exerted all his • influence to Fe rvent it from receiving the a,pprobation 'of the Legislative Body. A motion, however; was Made to adopt and to order it to be printed—anti it was caiTied ffi lin the arrnative,sB to 3S. Thus, in-a minority, BUONAPARTE totaled round on. thetegislativeßody, • anti said, that.they were . no - Ictnger constitutional, since one-third of their qu otiOtt to have gone out by :rotation ; al though, by a Senates Consultunt of the 15th NO velpher, it ;vas declared, that owing to the exi, gency of the public affairs,.the D(lnities were to continua their functions.

In doins...this he claimed the support of. 'the'll.e . preilititative'rodv, as lie bottomed himself op their judgment, and even on, the appointment of the,CommisSionerS yielded to their advice." • THE WEATHER. A moderate fall of snow on Thursday night has so much increased the diffietilties of travelling that, with the exception of the Kent and "Essex toadS, none other is passable but a few miles out of London. The coaches on the Western Road remain stationary at different parts. The Wind sor coach got through the snow at Colnbrook,- which was sixteen feet deep, by employing about fifty labourers on Thursday, but since that the road there is quite impassable. Dower down at'Maiden head-lane, the snow has drifted to - doithle the fornier depth ; and betwixt Twyford and Reading it has drifted in mountains. Nothing has arrived" from the, North-road since the Cambridge on Thursday evening, but it is-known that the New castle had gone off the road into a pit'about eight feet deep, on the preceding day, without doing mischief to Man - or horse. With respect:respect:to the report of the gxeter mail havin - g been lost, we be lieve the statement 'lb be totally \ false, There was also a report that the Chester mail was lost, but public anxiety is satisfied on that head, as no accident - has occurred: The middle North-road is impassable as near as 1-1 ighgate-hill. y!!•.Aniong the extraordinary aspects and appear - ances of the present severe weather, the- state of . :river Thames is not the least singular. Vast quantities of pieces of floating ice, loaded gene rally with heaps of snow, are seen almost every where on the surface; and being carried up and ' dol.vn• by the vide or the stream, and collected -where the projecting banks or the bridges make a resistance to the flow, and a support to the ac • cumulation, sometimes forming achain of glaciers, united-at ,one moment, at another' clashing and Cracking and dashing in:a singular and awful man iher : again, when the flood beneath -is not sufli ciently elevated to support the mass; and when the carrent passes strongly, the ice islands float away, clashing and crackling as they go, rising one over another, 'and . then receding covered with angry foam, as the violence of the wind or wave impels : pasiing through the arches of the bridges, the . crash is tremendous : for near the bridges, t'oe floating pieces collect about mid-water, or while the current is less forcible, and range' them, selves regularly one line upon another, the stream forming them in 'order as it , passes, where it makes its w'-.y in force, till the in creasing Confinement of the channel adds such . violence to the conflict; that a- breaking up is made,r-and the broken ice with. a crash, bursts : away again, and, is carried up , or down with the 'tide' or the stream. The river has more than once been conipletely froien across at the time of still , water, anti some persons have walked over the ice near Blackfriar's-bridge in the course of the week. About that time a bard frost alwvys took place at lOw water, and as the tide rose, it flowed over the • ice; leaving it a solid mass about mid-deep.—We have not - yet heard of any damage done by the floating ice, but we think the vessels and craft in ite ever:M . lW Rae thlo4ll znischid frrirti ;t, tty the.cutting of cables, &C . ., It Wo appetkr that. the fall of suoni• tioniA munce d eArlkr, ha.% beso most severe, i 4 titq Oestern anktioali.s-cvesiTim edtintiO.

STATE:OFTIIn STREETS.—lmthediate attention should be•dlrected . to the state of the stseets of the metropolis,; ,at this rime great quantities of snow arc accumulated in the passage-ways, and which should be removed 'at. the expense of the different parishes ;.vast nut-liners of labourers are now wanting work, and it would be_ highly law.; stable to give these poor men empJoyment, and remove the danger which; incase of sudden thaw, would present itself in every street in the lower' parts of the town. it may not be unnecessary iii' state that parishes are indict:able if any accident happens train the bad. state of the streets. IVIIITEITAVEN, J. 414. 13. 7 --The frost, which, as. [..,we observed in our‘ !list, seemed likely to cond.. nue, has increased to severity, and is at this time more intense than ever. All the ponds and streams in this neighbourhood are frozen ; and there is scarcely a Rump in the town that is not dry. The snow, which was also mentioned 'to have fallen in great quantities on the night of Sunday the 9th - ihstarit, has been increased in a very considerable degree, by • repeated' thick showers, and the whole rendered particularly se-r were by the high winds which prevailed during the earlier ,part of the storm, drifting the snow in many situations in such a manner, as to make travelling very tedious as well as dangerous, anti in some plats entirely blocking up the roads, FALMOUTH.-Tke weather 'ha .been more severe , in this country, •for the last week, than bus been remembera fOr twenty years. Heavy falls of Snow; succeeded by, hard frosts, have rendered ull travelling by coaehimpraetiCable, and even on horseback highly "dangerous. The mail-coach, witkit started from this town for Exeter on 'r nes- day morning, was'overturned, after having. prG , ceetled a few,miles, -but happily no material injury was sustained by either passengers, driver, or guard. .With much.diflichlty. the coach was en abled, with the assistance of an additional pair• of horses, to reach 'the first'stage 5, after which all endeavours. to-- go. further were found perfectly -Tile,lette,rs were,• however, .sent to Bod rniu.by.the ward on hcirsebacic. rrie Valtnouth ald - Plymouth coach has also been prerented from travelling by. the snow, and the passetigers have 'been obliged to remain at St. Anstell. We have no doubt, that farther to the eastward, the yoads are' in it wdrsKt Condition, as our last Ply mouth letters mention, that the stmw w,as 'then nearly four 'feet high in several of the streets in that town, and that all coaches for Exeter, were unable to travel. DunIAN, 14.—1 t is supposed that the pre sent fall of sow has been as heavy as any , known in Ireland. But as to the quantity, there seems to be no doubt of its *being greater than ever before experienced in the same space 'of time. In this tespvct we can, answer that it is unpa ralleled for half a centnry, upon the authority of a very intelligent gentleman in this city,who baskept a regular diary of the weather for the last 50 years. 'The snow preceding. Monday-was so slight, as hardly to occasion even a rem irk, and yet, in the course of the day and night, it had descended 'so 'inconceivably thick, and rapid, as 'to bock up all ;the roads in such a manner as to'pre : elude the possibility of the Mail-coaches being. able to, proceed. One indeed,, and me only; (from Galwsy) arrived the next morning. Now!, have ventured io leave Dublin, and it was eveit.', Mind impracticable to send the mail on hOrse'l, back. Thus all intercourse with the interior has been cut'off i 'and it was not until yesterday, when an intense frost suddenly commenced, that thd commtinication was opened. • About two o'clocll, - , the inhabitants of this city. witnessed the gratify ' ing sight of, several mail-bags.. arriving from the country crn htiltehack. The depth of show' in the streets Of Dublin al, most exceeds credibility. rn many of the narrow inlets, after the footways had been in* sorn4,_ measure cleared, it was more than six feet deep. It was nearly impossible for any carriage to force a passage, and few ventured the hazardous, at tempt.' Many accidents, both distressing and fatal, occurred. The Edinburgh mails from LondOn, of Wed- nesday and Thursday nights, we understand, are at Puckeridge,' Hefts, not , being able to proceed farther, and the passedgerS_ have returned to . town 4 METEOROLOGIC,IL JOURKIL.
