several
wlpaonitnsts uponto
know particu-
larly whether the Candiote insurrection is completely
suppressed, and says that no news has reached it
either from Constantinople or Athens of what is
going on in the island of Crete. The Journal des
Debats adds some alarming reports upon the subject
from the Nord. Provincial papers and private
letters give fearful accounts of the ravages of the
snow and the interruption in the 'communications.
Several points of the Lyons and Mediterranean
railway are completely blocked up. From Tain to
Avignon there is no communication, and between
St. Rambert and Tarascon the passage of the trains
is suspended for the present. Between Nismes and
Cette the communication is but partial. In some
of the mountainous districts the snow is two yards
deep. The Post-office has to-day issued a notice
that the quantity of snow which has fallen in thesouth
has completely blocked up the communications, but
that the various railway companies will do all in
their power to re-establish them as soon as possible.
The inundations continue in some localities, and
add to the difficulty. Among the departments with
which communication is suspended are the Ain,
Doubs, Jura, Rhone, Ardeche, Irene, Drome, Vau-
cluse, Gard, Bouches du Rhone, Loire, and Pay de
Dome. The railway station of the Croix Rousse at
Lyons had given way in consequence of the unusual
weight of snow upon it, but no
personal injury had
been sustained. Toulouse and Marseilles have both
suffered much from the snow. As to Paris, the
snow fell heavily last night, and it has snowed
almost uninterruptedly throughout the day. The
streets are very slippery, for the snow at present is
not in the " melting mood," and around Paris it
lies quietly and coldly at more than a foot in depth.
At post hour there was an indication of a thaw
" more t'other." It is satisfactory to add that this
inclement weather has not caused any interruption
to the works at the Universal Exhibition. The
Palace may be said to exist, and the works in the
interior proceed regularly and rapidly.
The Presse has a long article upon the present
anomalous position of the Moniteur, respecting
which I shall write you in a few days, as I am well
acquainted with all the circumstances of the recent
change.

The effi-ial tables of the receipts of direct and
indirect taxes for 1866, which have just been pub-
lished, present satisfactory results as compared with
those of 1864 and 1865. They were, for the first
three months of 1866, 306,632,000 f., for the second
quarter 312,942,000 f. for the third quarter
311)510,000f., ler the Wit quarter 351,184,000 f.
