TILE TVEATIIER IN PARIS.

The frost continues to be exceedingly severe all
over France, if we except Marseilles, where the
temperature has become somewhat milder. At
Orleans the Loire is frozen along the left bank, but
continues to flow sluggishly on the right. In con-
sequence of a great quantity of snow recently
fallen the temperature is somewhat milder in that
neighbourhood ; the thermometer the night before
last marked 7 5-10 deg. below zero, in the night 8,
and next morning 6. At Angers an enormous
quantity of snow fell on Sunday night, and the town
awoke on Monday morning shrouded in a thick
white mantle ; at the same time the thermometer
marked only 4 degrees below zero. At Tours
the Loire has been blocked up since Sunday
in its whole course, on the territory of the
communes of Tours, St. Pierre-des-Corps, St.
Symphorien, and St. Cyr. A great quantity of
snow has since fallen. At Nevers the cold is be-
coming more and more severe. During several
nights the temperature had descended to 12 or
13 below zero. At Laval there were 9 degrees,
and snow very abundant. At Rennes, the same,
and without any sign of a mitigation. At Caen,
9 below. The basin, the canal, and even the river
Orne, at the round point, have a coating of ice more
than two inches thick, and the navigation has been
several days suspended. At Fecamp the Perigny
basin has been covered with a sheet of ice appa-
rently strong enough to bear, and the streets and
neighbouring fields are covered with snow. The
Salut Public of Lyons says:—" On Sunday the snow
fell in great quantity over our city, whilst the sky
was covered with grey clouds portending a continu-
ance of the same. On Monday the thermometer was
at 7 below zero, whilst the hygrometer showed an
augmentation in the humidity of the atmosphere,
and the barometer stood at the variable point. The
Saone above the lock of Vaise presents a smooth
surface of ice, from which proceed from time to time
low cracking sounds. The congelation of the Rhone
has not made any fresh progress. The park of the
Tete d'Or on Sunday presented a most picturesque
and animated spectacle from the throng of
sliders and skaters disporting on the lake, the
frozen surface of which had been carefully swept
for their benefit." The Semaphore of Marseilles
says :—" At length we can begin to breathe ; more
clement days seem about to open upon this city, still
quite astounded by the rigorous temperature which
had come upon it. The thermometer since Sunday
has ceased to descend, and we have no longer to
register 6 deg. below zero. The mercury is rising
in a reassuring way. On Sunday night it marked
1 deg. below, and during the day rose to 2,3, and
even 4 deg. above freezing point. A thaw has
commenced. At llonfieur the thermometer two
nights back marked 10 below zero (140 Fahr.)
The docks and portions of the outer harbour are
frozen over, and enormous ice blocks are floating
in the bay and about the jetties.
