Nov. 19.--la order to relieve the indigent classes, his ,Majesty (the Emperor of Austria) has commanded extraordinary 141)Ours iu all places I woere there may be found vestiges of Ancient monuments. A Commission, composed of engineers and men of learning, has been created for this purpose : Among the number are Several Professors pi Ilse University of Padna, and the Chief of our Hellenists, the learned Li brarian of Venice., His Majesty has appointed a fund for part of the expences the rest will be borne by the Commune which will enjoy the utonuments. This project of restoring the an cient monuments will be advantageous to the Arts, and also for these countries, by exciting the interest of travellers. We owe the idea to ling speculators, who wanted to farm largc,dis. trims in Capo . d'istria and elsewhere, its order to derive profit from them. `An Italian.
