PARIS FLOODS.
WATERS REACH ROUEN. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Reuter’s Telegrams. (Received January 10, 10.5 a.m.) PARIS, January 9. Although the flood in the Seine is falling slowly, the outlook is not reassuring, for damper weather has returned. Meanwhile the situation in Paris and suburbs is much the same. The maximum height of the flood has been reached at Rouen, where the quays are flooded. A meeting of deputies representing the departments of the Seine, Seine-et-Oise and Seine-et-Marne decided to introduce a Bill in the chamber providing for opening a credit of 30,000,000 francs for the sufferers by the floods, and to create a permanent group of deputies from the three departments to defend Paris from a recurrence of the disaster.
