REMARKS.
The high pressures reported yesterday are still to be noticed.
At Valenti& the reading is unusually high, being 30.80 Inches. A
decrease is showing itself at the northern stations. Tempera-
ture has diminished on the west coast of France, and is low at
stations on our Channel coast. Winds on the east coast have
been fresh from the north east ; this morning they axe light from
the northward. The weather is dry, with fog at places.
