Tat WEATHEIt IN SPAIN. —A letter front
Figures enetains the following:—" We sin nn longer in
Spain. bin in Siberia. lostead of our usual brilliant gun,
we have a clouded sky and a heavy fall of scow,
which covers the town and country round to a eon-
mid/Table depth. The cold worth wind bee stripped
the orange and lemon trees of their foliage, and
the flourishing plain of Ampottrden now premier
the aspect of the Wrap steppes of kaiak. The Catalogians
have never before seen scything of the kind, and the winter
of 1864 will certainly form an epoch in the annals of the
cosietry. The diligence§ from France are detained at Per-
thus, the pusses of the Pyrenees being quite impracticable.
The diligence from Perpignan was last night overtaken by
the snow on the French ettle of the mountains, sod was ex-
tricated with great difficulty."
