THE WEATHER IN THE COUNTRY.—The
Provinces appear to have suffered the same extraordinary
degree of cold, that we in London have felt. Winds
from the North-east, snow, hail, and frost, are the present
harbingers of balmy spring.
PERSIA.—Her Majesty's Government have re-
ceived dispatches from Colonel Shell, dated from Erzeroom,
February 26. They contain no further intelligence re-
specting the designs or proceedings of the Shah of Persia.
A variety of rumours were afloat respecting the destination
of a new expedition. By some it was said to be in-
tended against Herat, by others, to join the forces of
Southern Russia (with what object it were not easy to
surmise), while others thought that the expedition was in-
tended against Turkey. The latter, however, seems the
least likely. We have season to believe that the disagree-
ment between Persia and Turkey respecting their "dis-
-1 utcd territory" will be settled by commissioners.
