FRANCE.

The weather continues very severe in Paris. It
froze last night, blew a violent gale, and snowed at
intervals all day. The accounts from the provinces
all complain of the severity of the season. A letter
from Toulon of the 6th, says :—" Winter is deter.
mined to prove that with it all countries are equal
—even Provence has not found favour in its eyes.
A few days since we thought we had recovered our
clear sky and hot sun. Vain hope, the north-west
wind is now blowing with such violence that we
are forced to admit that we are still traversing the
most disagreeable season of the year."
The Echo of the Cevennes states that the lat e
hurricane tore up by the roots the largest and oldest
of the fine chestnut trees in the grand promenade at
Vigan. The trunk measured 33 feet in circumfe-
rence. Accounts from the Lozere state that the
month of February was remarkable for hail, snow,
and storm. Wolves, forced by hunger, showed

themselves at Mende, and devoured a number of
dogs. A blacksmith is said to have suffered the
same fate at Viarouge. The postman carrying the
letters from Puy was forced to abandon his horse
and letter-bags in the snow.

The Moniteur of yesterday morning publishes the
usual monthly debtor and creditor account of the
Bank of France, made up to Thursday. The cor-
sesponding figures of the last month are added :
