A LETTER FROM ROME. %-;F[We have been tempted to extract the following from a late number of the Edinburgh Literary Journal, as it is the first literary essay of a clever young Scotch . man (Mr. Blackie) now resident in Rome, and gives an interesting and intelligent account of the antiquiti es o f a part of Italy, lying out of the beaten track, and little frequented by modern Tourists.] SIR, —Being just returned from a most interest ing excursion through the neighbouring district of E•rtiria, I do not think I can de better than make knower the attractive novelties which there excited my admiration, through the medium of your widely circulated Journal. I do this the more readily, be cause I suspect these most singular and interesthq 2 Tgions are as yet but very little known to On British public; nay, I might even say to the most distinguished of our archaeological literati. I hear, indeed, that our great antiquarian luminary, Millin gen, has lately pab!ished some account of the recent discoveries in Etruria; but, though I cannot, from personal reading, judge of this work, still I 'am, on prettysood authority, inclined to believe that the distingtirjslied author had not had an opportunity to visit in ',person the interesting vicinity of Corneto, where excavations have of late been made, and are still making with such distinguished success. If we except that part of Etruria, through which the two great high-roads pass b?twcen Florence and Rome, this once celebrated country which, before the times of the Romans, was adorned with many rich and flourishing cities, is but little known to the general traveller, and even to those whose Italian wander ings have more of a professed archte)logical bent. It is but too true, that travellers in general, and most of all English travellers, rarely deviate from the beaten track ; and this truth receives a new verifi cation from the interesting tracts of Tuscany which are yet altogether, or comparatively, unknown. But to proceed. Corneto, the first point in the antiquarirn tour of which I shall now endeavour to give you a rapid sketch, is situated in the States of the Church, about sixty miles north from Rome, and twelve miles be•.ond the harbour of Civita Vecchia. Though not itself a maritime town, it lies on an emi nence only about two or three miles distant from the site of the ancient city Graviscaea Tyrrhenian harbour, scarcely otherwise known'. to the modern ear than through the verses of theMatituaa bard.— About a mile from Corneto, still further inland, is the site of the ancient city e,f Tarquinii, so celebrated in the early history of the Etruscans, as the place where Do maratus first improved the rudeness of Etruscan art by the introduction of Corinthian refinement, and was destined to give in his progeny a King-to Rome, who should he the first to introduce a taste for a massive and dignified architecture among an associa tion of rude and barbarous warriors. 'Tis to this ancient city that those sepulchral monuments belong, which form the principal object of attraction to the stranger who visits Corneto. Hither, therefore, I hied, as soon as I had a little refreshed myself from the fatigues of an Italian vettura. Nor were my ex pectations disappointed in visiting these long-for gotten, but now revived monuments of the Etruscan dead. An immense range of conical tumuli, called by the inhabitants of Corneto, Monte Rozzi, imme diately attracts the attention of the traveller, and makes even the most careless observer suspect that the interior of these evidently artificial mounds must contain some curious ancient remains. Nor is he deceived. These tumuli contain one or more se pulchral chambers, for the most part painted in a style which proclaims a very ancient period of Etrus -can art, and at times accompanied with inscriptions in that interesting language, wh:ch, alas ! after all the endeavours of Lanzi and his followers, remains as inexplicable as ever. The impression is more to be felt than described, which is produced when one descends from the bright splendour of the Italian day, into these gloomy subterranean abodes of human beings, who are removed from us by the immense gulf of more than 2,000 years ; and with whom, however, the pictures that surround us seem to bring us on a sudden into an almost immediate con nection. These representations are no less interest ing when considered as developing the early progress of art, and bringing More our eyes the difficulties with which the infant arts of design had to conten I, • t the they than when viewed by t h e philosophic eye of the ob servant arclia)logian, and used as meant to throw light upon the wonderful economy of the more hum li an g mind, i which, in ancient as well a s mod ern times, has developed itself according to the same eternal and immutable laws. One of the most com mon representatio ns i n these sepulchral chambers is that of a triclinium , where the deceased persons are seen reclining at ea se, according to the Roman participated in while on earth. Thi s occupies fashion, and enjoy in g the seine viands whi c h th ey had so O ften h end wall. The two side, walls are often . may seem to agree with the solem nity of death , ye t tend to re p resent t o us in a very el.e r, littlefilled by dancing Bacchic figures, which, how lively manner the universal belief of mankind in a future and to teach us that the ancient world, farfrom c o nsidering death with the cold hop e l ess life,eye of modern materialism, were accustomed to look to it as the introduction to a more perfect state of existence, where rest and quiet should be obtained after the labours and trouble of the present life. On no other principle can be explained another sets wellorepresentations very frequ ent i n t h e E truscan a sepulchr a l orn aments —l mea n that of dolphins and other marin e a n i ma l s , o f which the most likely interpretation is, that they f as i the Roman represent the souls of the blessed , gamboling through the waves to happythe islands of the % tlantie. And here it is strange to remark the coincidence of the mos t anc ient Etruscan with the earlier Christian ideas; for nothing is more common in the Christian monuments than the representation of dolphins and other fishes—the explanation of which, as referring to Christians, will easily occur to those who are con versant with the works of the early fathers. But to return from digression.. Though the paintings have been well preserved, yet have these sacred abodes been in early times robbed of their movable treasures; and therefore it is, that these tombs of Corneto, or rather of Tarquinii, have not enriched the excavators with those immense treasures of fictile vases in which the Etruscan graves in other parts of the country have been so fruitful. The ground which has in so short a time furnished Lucien Bonaparte with a museum of above three thousand vases, is about eighteen miles farther up, in the Etru ria') territory, near the site of the ancient town of Vulci. This place, of w hi c h we h ave so ver y sca nty notions from antiquity, seems, nevertheless, to have been one of the largest of the cities which composed the Etruscan confederation, if we may judge, as well from the wide extent of its walls, the foundations of which are yet to be traced, as from the immense tract of ground which is occupied by its sepokretum, which has already been so wonderfully fertile in the most beautiful productions of ancient Grecian art, and is still continuing to yield enough to satisfy the continued excavations of three considerable pro prietors. You are aware that the property of Ca nino,tOLucien B t o h n es a e pa c r l t a e s , si o c c a c l occupies the greater part of t hi s prec i ous territory ; but he d oes —ntt exclusively monopolize SignoriCandelo r i and Feoli occupying also no inconsiderable portion of the Vulcian burying ground, and extractin g from thence their proportional share of its treasures of art. Nevertheless, it is but fair to state, that the excavat i ons h ave, d ur i n g the Present year, ceased to be so fortunate as in the first !tempts; bt-lt it was not to be e:tpected that the oil could long continue to be so vets fruitful as at first was. The labours, however, are still going and I had the satisfaction to see several interest- Hg objects which had lately been dug up. A►r.ong these, the most curious were several pieces ofsculpt ure, ivhose general style and accessory ornaments place in a very remarkable point of view the connexion of the ancient Etruscan with Egyptian art. The same ~onclusion is drawn from the architectural mouldings vith which many of these subterranean chambers ire adorned, and which vei y often exhibit a con t'used insieme of the Egyptian style, and the mos. ►ncient Doric architecture of the Greeks. But of he architecture I must speak again, when I come to mention the superb amphitheatre of sepulchral mo. numents sculptured in the natural reek, which exist J 1 the district between Corneto and Vitet-bo. But to be more particular. The grope scpolcreli of Vulci are distinguished from those of Tarquinii, by being dug in the ground, and then covered up, without the addition of any art'ficial tumulus, if wr except the single immense tumulus, called the the Cocuntella, where the Prince of Canino has made such interesting discoveries. These sepulchra' chambers are about the size of a small closet, cut out in the natural rock, or rather earth ; for the soli volcanic tufa which here abounds deserves more the , name of an earth than of a rock. They are, for the most part, simple and devoid of ornament ; at the t'arther end, and on the two sides, are cut out in the same mass simple banks, which serve for the resting place of the dead body ; for here, as Well as in Nola, was it the genera! custom to bury, and not to burn the dead. Nor do the Vulcian vases, in whatever abundance they have been found, ever contain ashes. The vases are found beside the banks on which the dead body was laid, though in many tombs there are decided indications that they were, along with other ornaments, suspended from nails on the walk of the sepulchral chamber. It would be tedious and uninteresting to particu larize upon the plans of the sepulchres, and the ar chitectural mouldings with which they are often or namented; such an extended description belongs more to a separate treatise, than to the limits of a common letter. We can, howev, r, assure the Bri tish archaeological public, that it will not be long ere their curiosity on the,c points be gratified, the inde fatigable German architect Herr Knapp being at present engaged in preparing an accurate account of the Etruscan sepulchral architecture, to be submit ted to the European public in the Annals of the Archaeological Institution. While on this subject, however, I cannot forbear to mention, in suitable terms of censure, the conduct of the preseet 'exc wators, in regard to the interests of arefeeological science. The interesting exca vations,which we have just been describing, have unfortunately fallen into the hands of men, who are actuated much more by the Italian spirit of personal gain, than by any the least zeal for the interests of science ; insomuch, that we do not speak too harshly , when we assert, that their great and only object is to spoil the dead of the precious treasures which were buried along with them, with a view to their own personal gain, without the least regard to the ad vantages which science may reap from their disco veries. The subteeranean recesses of the immense Vulcian sepolcretum are scarce brought to light, and emptied of the vases and bran zes which they may cont4 , n, when they are immediately covered up again, before the arclueologian or the architect have had time to visit them, and draw from their general disposition and particular decorations inferences of the highest importance, not only in themselves, but as tending to the elucidation of the singular objects of which they have been for ages the repository, Science is as much degraded us religion, when it be. comes an object of selfish merchandiza ; but it is a lamentable truth, that Signor Campanari and his associates do not show the least desire to render their discoveeies of any use to archwological science, but rather use every means in their power to prevent every person but themselves from deriving any ad vantage from their monopolized treasures of art. But let us leave this disagreeable subject ; for what can we expect from the base-minded Romans, who have so lately shown how entirely destitute they are of every spruk of noble sentiment, by remaining quietly and voluntarily in the chains of the most cor rupted Government of Europe? Before I leave Vulci, 1 may just give you a slight intimation of the great literary controversy which the vases here brought to light have lately pro duced, and which has caused a division between the foreign literari resident in Rome, and the Cory phireus of the Roman Grecians, the well-known Ab bate Amati. Lucien Buottaparte, not content with having in his own private possession the largest and most valuable collection of vases in Europe, took it also into his head to refuse to other countries the possession of such vases, and even went so far as to deny that certain rases, which Herr Wolff, a Prus s'an sculptor, brought from Greece, could possibly have been found in that country, asserting that if it really was the case that said vases were found in Egina by Mr. Wolff, nevertheless they were not to be esteemed Grecian vases, properly so called, but were merely exportations from Etruria, the only country which was able to produce these singular works of act. Once determined to claim ex clusively for Etruria those works of art, which the universal consent of the learned had united to denominate Grecian, the Prince of Canino did not hesitate to sacrifice to this patriotic feel ing, for his own Etrurian property, the united tes timony of ancient writers, that the arts were brought from Greece into Etruria by Demaratus of Corinth. As soon as historical testimony was disregarded, it was no difficult matter to create out of nothing a splendid Etrurian dynasty, flourishing in all the highest culture of art, before even the first rude at , tempts at design were made in the Grecian islands —whose inhabitants, hitherto considered as the parents of all that is elegant in the European arts of design, were indebted for their knowledge in these arts, and especially in the art of painting vases, to those numerous artists, who, proceeding from Etruria, as the centre of civilisation, spread a re fined taste for the arts through the republics of Greece, from which, as we know, they at last pro. ceeded back to their native Italy. His excellence had certainly the merit of producing a singular opinion, and might, perhaps, have had the satisfac tion of remaining alone in his singularity, had not the above-mentioned Abbate Amati, no con temptible Hellenist, conceived it his duty as a true Italian patriot, to join with the Prince in defending as Etruscan the origin of vases, which the strongest internal, as well as external, evidence proclaims to be Grecian. The external historical evidence I have already alluded to—the internal evidence is no less strong and convincing to every one who is not pre determined to believe the contrary. The Vulcian vases resemble, in every respect, those found in Greece and Magna Grecia,—in their style of art, — in the subjects represented, which are found in the Grecian, and not in the Etruscan mythology,—in the inscriptions, which in all vases yet found are Greek, and never Etruscan. And yet all this weight of evidence will not prevent men, fonder of singularity than of truth, from recalling the old and almost forgotten idea of the Etruscan origin of these vases—an attempt from which they might have been deterred, by the difficulties in which Passeri and others found themselves involved, who, in the past century, attempted to explain the vases on this false supposition. 13,ut. enough.

Viterbo, fall genty down to the right bank of the Ciber, a forest of aged oaks shades the venerable ,bodes of the ancient Etruscan dead—abodes which, after rem4icitig for above two thousand years undisturbed by the light of day, and uttap proached by the foot of the living, are now at length exposed and made to yield their treasures of ancient' art—useless to the dead—for the gratification and vituiration of the living,.

" PARIS, JUNE 16.—Tumultuous assemblages have beer: again formed toAay at the sante point, and, notwithstand ing the repeated warnings of the Magistrates, the con course of persons drawn by curiosity has given to these assemblages an appearance of hoportance which keeps up the public solicitude, and deprives the a u•horities of the means of se;zing the real agitators, who are lest in the crowd- It is, however, time, for the sake of every bait„ that means should be found finally to put a stop to these agitations, the recurrence of which is wholly owing to the difficulty which is thus occasioned of liying 1:old of tinr guilty authors of them. Once more, then, let the citizens leave to the authority the freedom of action which is ne cessary to put an end to those ridiculous and odious dis orders ; let them withdraw and leave the factious to them selves and to the law. Do they not perceive that the prolongation of this effervescence causes inconvenience and prejudice to the Nationil Guards, by keeping them front their own affairs, the neglect of which affects all the inte rests of the capital, and also to the triih speop'e in the quarters where these troubles exist, who are obliged to close their shops to preserve them front pill lie, of which there has been an example. The warnings will be again repeated by a paternal authority, which is resolved to leave no excuse even to imprudence, in case it should be under the painful neces sity, after having fulfilled this duty, of p-rforming the more severe duties which are imposed on it, by the genera 1 indignation, the safety of Paris, and respect for the laws, and of executing justice on those _men who should still disregard the legal summons addressed to them. " The National Guards anti the troops of the line, ani mated by a generous emulation, equally feel the necessity of restoring order, the defence of which is entrusted to them. They are even less indignant at the abuse which wretches have dared to address to them, than at the inso lent hopts, founded on impossible divisions, and to which they have answered to-day, in emulation of each other, the troops of the line, by spontaneous cries of Vive is Garde Nationale," Vive le Roi !' at the very mo ment when they were saluted with insulting cries of The Troops of the Line for ever !' Down with the National Guard !' and the Guard 11 crying, ' Vive lit Roi ! Vive la Ligne r '• This noble fraternity WIS rendered more evident, more overwhelming to the factious, by the happy idea of the Commander-in-Chief to mingle together small de tachments of the National Guard and of the Line, pre senting to the population the sight of soldier-citizens and of citizen-soldiers, united to defend the laws iu the name of the King, who every day feels himself honoured by the titles of soldier and of citizen. " The inhabitants testified their satis f action at this wise measure by their eagerness to light up their houses and shops, to supply the absence of some lamps. " Now,:at eleven o'clock, all is over. Order is rei3ored guilt will doubtless he discouraged—the authorities never." A journal announces that Messrs. de Bourmont and Marmont have not ceased, since the events of July, to re ceive their pay as Marshals of France, and that they still receive it. The assertion is false. It appears from the accounts of the War-office, that 'Messrs. do Bourmont and Marmont have not, under the title of pay or any other, any sum whatever. (From the Message,. des Chambres of Saturday.) PARIS, JUNE I 7.---We are authorized to contradict in the most formal manner, the assertion contained in Le Globe of to-day, on the credit of a letter from New York. that King Louis Philip had sent a tuns of 1,000,000 ,of piastres to the house of Stephen Gerard, of Philadelphia. Besides all the reasons which render the fact improbable, there is one more peremptory than all the others—namely, that it is a forgery. (From the Journal des Debats. . PARIS, JUNE 17.—The Metz affair has raised two per fectly new questions-Ist, May the Municipalities express any wish foreign to the legal attribut;N of the Municipal Council ? And 2d, Can the Officers of the National Guard without failing in their duty, make known the wishes on any subject whatever of the citizens who are under them ? If the past were to serve as an example, it would be difficult to contest the legitimacy of wishes publicly manifested on great political questions, either by Municipal Councils or Officers of the National Guard. Since the Revolution, what Municipality, or what corps of National Guards had not manifested its opinion on the overthrow of the throne of Cuarles X., and the erection of a new throne? Did all the National Guards commit a crime when they sent deputations to give in 66r adhesion to the Revolution of July and the adoption of a new dynasty? Did they not deliberate when they adopted the Addresses which they sent, and which the Moniteur pub lished with great care? If the Municipal Councils must not express either the wishes or the wants of the inhabi tants of their Communes—if the officers of the National Guard must not be the organs of the citizens who serve under them—if they ale not allowed to make known their own wishes, why are they allowed to speak. There were numerous groups yesterday collected shiut Porte St. Denis, though they did not display a character :4 hostility. A large force was stationed in the vicinity. Towards nine o'clock several charges of cavalry were made in the street Neuve St. Denis, and in the neighbouring streets, and several persons were arrested. At half-past eleven .)'clock the people had all dispersed, and there was a free circulation in all directions. We hope we shall see no renewal of these scenes, in which it is difficult to de tect any public character. (From the Quolidienize.)

Sir JOIIN NICHOLL gave sentence in this case at great length. It was a question respecting the va lidity of the will of Mrs. Elizabeth Morris, widow, who died on the 10th of March, 1830, aged 65. She resided in Gainsford-street, Horslvdown ; the property she left amounted to about 76,000/. Her nearest relatives were Mr. Thomas Dean Alderson and his two sisters, who were second cousins of the deceased. The will was propounded by Mr. Charles Wheeler and.:Mr. Henry Batsford; the executors and residuary legatees, and was opposed by Mr. Alderson, the next of kin. The will was dated the Sth of July, 1822, eight years before the death of the testatrix. There were legacies of 10,000/. to each of the two executors, 5,000/. to Mrs. Batsford, 2,000/. to Miss Batsford, several legacies to friends; and the residue was bequeathed jointly to the, two executor. •At the dare of the will the residue was not considerable, about 1,000/. or 2,000/., bin the property had since greatly increased by accumula tions. The will was the hand-writing of Mr. Bats ford, s% h o was the deceased's solicitor, and it was attemed by two witnesses, living in Mr. Batsford's neighbourhood, casually called into Mr. Batsford's office (where the execution took place), who merely saw the deceased sign her name, without being privy to her intentions, and having no reason to doubt the soundness of her mind and capacity.— Under such circumstances, it became necessary to have something more than evidence of the mere colt didit and facturn of the will. On the part of Mr. Al derson, it was pleaded that the deceased at all times, from early life, and up to the date of the will, was of weak and sender capacity, and actually deranged; that she was incapable of doing any act requiring thought, judgment, and reflection; that she was spoken of and treated by medical men, by her fa. mile and frends, and by others, as a person of de ranged mind, and called " Mad Mrs. Morris," and " Mad Mother Morris ;" that she was eccentric in her dress, irritable in her temper, fond of low com pany, in the habit of exposing her person, and o f indulging in habitual intoxication, and consequently liable to fraud and imposition. Few specific acts were pleaded ; it was alleged that she had been so during her whole life. In respect to the documents (which were exhibits in the cause) in the deceased's hand-writing, it was alleged that they had been written under the dictation of others. On the part of the executors it had been pleaded that the de ceased was perfectly sane; that she had been treated as such by her family and friends; that she had had the uncontrouled management of her pro perty all her life ; and that she kept accounts of her transactions in business, which were not alleged to be incorrect. A great number of her letters had been exhibited, written at different periods of her life. It was necessary, then, to inqu're whether there was satisfactory proof that the will in question contained the mind and intention of the deceased, and whether she was of sane mind, and competent to give effect to her intentions. After recapitulat ing and commenting on the evidence, as it has from time to time appeared in the public journals, the Learned Judge concluded by saying, looking to the whole history of the deceased arid her testamentary acts, to the way in which she had been treated by her family and friends, to her conduct in business, to her behaviour in her frequent excursions in the country, and this body of evidence corroborated by her letters and correspondence at various periods of her life, all proving the general sanity of the de ceased, except when under the temporary influence of liquor, with the evidence of mind and intention on her part, the Court was bound to consider this as the act of i► free and capable testator, and to pro nounce for the will. No order was given as to costs. The letters from St. Petersburgh to-day, to the 31st ultimo, state that that capital remained healthy. Much activity prevailed among the merchants and others connected with the trade to this country. The purchases of tallow and other produce had been extensive. The ex change had receded to 10 11-16. It was expected that the supply of tallow during the present year would be about 160,000 casks. There had been already purchased about 50,000 casks. The current price was 102 rubles per good. In the Russian ports the purchases of wheat were not on so extensive a scale as a short time back. The agents of the Russian Government had been buying largelY• It was not believed that so much grain would be shipped for this country in the present season as during the past year.
