INTODIER, TAYLORD, and DE CAILLEUX. 7th Livrai..Con. This livraisan is devoted to the description of the ancient Abbey of Saint Wandrille, situated at a short distance from Caudebec, in a narrow valley, on the banks of the river Pontenelle. A multitude of religions recollections is connected with these ruins, which are still visited by the neighbouring peasants with pious veneration. Saint ‘Vandrille, an ally of the illustrious Carlovingian dynasty, founded in the year 648, amid uncultivated' land, and barren rucks, this Christian colony, whose prosperity he had the happinesi - of witnessing before he died, at the ad• winced age of B=2 years. In Bit the monks were 'expelled by the Normans . they were soon afterwards restored to their habitation, but a new invasion of the Northern Barbarians in 862 involved the whole monastery in ruins. More than n cen tury and a half passed over these ruins, before the mo,astery was rebuilt by a pious Abbot, and the' consecration of the Church took place in 1033. Two hundred years after, in 1250, the Monastery was entirely consumed by fire; public piety rebuilt it again without delay. Under the reign of Catherine of Medicis, Saint IVandrille was abandoned to the rage of bigots, led on by Montgomery, the assassin of Henry 11. After so many vicissitudes, this interesting Abbey flourished with fresh splendour, when the French revolution concerted it a larA finiP ~;to tic mina - 51. - Nodier, " the,edifice of Saints, which escaped so often the ravages-of barbarism, suntt under the hanJ of vis4fixation." Such is the fate assigned by Philosophism to all that illus. trates the piety and learning of our Ancestors, to alt those monuments which remind us of prodigies of talent, constancy, and virtues of a state of civilization, of which we can no longer boast, but which has produced nobler works than any in the present age. Let us hear 111.'Nodier on this subject : • "In the life of Saint Aubert,Abbot of Sasnt Wandrille, it is stated; that Prince Thierry, afterwards King, visited " this Asylum, and found the holy abbot employed In culti " rating with his own hands the orchards which he bad " planted.. lie was , quite astonished to tee these superb edi " fives raised in a few years amid rocks, and delightful gar 's dens succeeding to wild and barren heaths. Thus Chris " tianity realized at this early period of modern " the fables of Mythology; and the most insigni.icant " hermit of the deiert may recat to the poetic imagination " the profane fable of Apollo banished from Olympus. They " constructed walls more durable than those of Laomedon ; " they planted groves more delightful than those of Adme " tus, and their terrestrial life was also a banisbuient. " Under the dominion of savage warriors, France would " hare sunk into the lowest depths of barbarism, if these " poor cenobites had not taught- them how to build " temples, and fertilize barren deserts. I fear we judge " often too harshly of what is' denominated the selfish " nets of the hermit ; it is certain, at least, that all those " potetrful and devout eonceptiqns which have regenerated " nations Izare been imbibed in the cells of the rrehtsc." This last remark is v ery)ust. History exhibits all the Le gislators of the world preparing them:Ares for their high missions in the silence of solitude. It is not in the tumultu ous throng nf civilized life that man'ean deeltspe the resources of his genius ; but only its the bosom of retirement, _when his mind is divested from all sublunary considerations, that he can transport himself to the lofty regions of thought, discover the true principles, the simple anti sublime truths, which regulate the welfare of human societies. We do riot meditate its the midst •of a crowd, and we can contemplate the Divinity, the source of all our noble inspira tions, when we inhabit the profound and' silent vault, better than in • the bustle of popuirmi . Tie words hermit and serge are almost always synonymous among most nations. Nye dispute in our councils, but we consult and listen with respect to the father of the desert. When men assemble together, all the united efforts of their understandings only produce .abortive conceptions;. the re suit of their deliberations, even supposing them to be finite free, is only an imperfect union of conflicting opinions; in Politics, Morals, Literature and- 'the SCit;IICCS, a few isolated great men, scattered in distant parts of the globe, have struck out new paths, founded institutions, and created schools, while academies and deliberative aSsensblies have only adopted, in all those brandies, that erroneous, and un productive system which has been for such a length of tittle the object of indifference and disgust to Sound 'thinkers, and which its abettors themselves call the mean sycietn, steer ing between the two extremes, without percehhig that this appellation alone is the bitterest satire on this absurd com bination. But we must leave this digression, and return to the work of M. Nodier and his co-adjutors, Nt. M. Taylord and de Cailleux.. The hest artists have contributed to the success of the Picturesque Journey, so that it may be consid ed as a .valtiable album,. containing the . compositions of the most celebrated French masters. A. LITERARY awl SCI EN I'IFIC INTELLIGENCE. [FROM VARIOUS SOURCES.] (No. VII.) FRENCH INsmuTE.—The r following is a copy of a letter lately received by 'Fiturnas F;dtxunston, Esq. of Buness, Shetland, from the Institute and Board of Longitude of France. It will be gratifying to our readers to observe the polite and handsome terms in which these learned and illustrious Societies express their acknowledgments, for at tentions shewn to their Members, when engaged in the pur suits of science: " Royal 'Academy of Sciences, Paris, June 10, 1820, " Sin—The Institute and the Board of Longitude have been, from the discourses of M.Biot, delivered at our sittings, arid published in our memoirs, some t i me aware of the gene rous and hoSpitable treatment lie ensperienced at your hands, and•the.gweat assistance he derived .f0e , ...0 you in carrying into effect the difficult and delicate commission confided to biro but the printed account of his observations, lately submitted to us, has made us feel still more sensibly how much Physics and Astronomy are indebted to you. _ " In the sitting at s'hich this paper was read, the Board of Longitude unar.iniously came to the resolution of transmit ting to you, through their secretary, the thanks of the So ciety, and we may add, the thanks o: all scientific and learned men, and lovers of science. " Permit me, Sir, to express the plea3urc I feel in the op:- portnnity thus afforded me of conveying my own Sentiments of gratityde for conduct, which, perhaps, may be more justly appreciated by me, since, during the meaSu - criterit of 'our meridian, I have myself more than once had cause know the value of similar treatment and good offices in remote situ ations, where I was a perfect stranger. «I have the honor to he, with the highest consideration, Sir, your very humble and obedient servant, " DELANIBRE, " Perpetual Secretary of the Academy, and Secretary• of the Board of Longitude. " To Mr. Edmonston, Unst, Stittland.," PYRO LIGNEOUS -A t the recent anniver sary of the Whiteharen Philosophical Society, two specimens of meat cured with the pyroligneous acid were exhibited. They were prepared on the 7th of September, 1819. One was hung up at home, and the other sent nut by a vessel to the West Indies, to try the effect of climate upon it, and brought back on the return of the ship to that port. Both specimens were pronounced by all present who tasted then), to be per fectly fresh, sweet, and fit for use, after, a lapse of fifteen months. PLANET VEsTA.----Th e recently discovered Planet Vesta may now he perceived with a telescope of mo derate power, in the constellation of Cancer: it appears like a star of the fifth or sixth magnitude,. NEWLY DISCOVERED ISLANDS IN THE SOUTH • 4t, UUL last year to explore in the South Sea a new route for mer chant vessels from Chili to the East Indies, has discovered in that ocean a groupe of Elands, hitherto unknown to mariners. To the largest of them he has - given the name of Oscar. It is to be regretted that the Swedish journals, from which this intelligence is extracted, furnish nu &tails relative to the po sition of these Islauds. GREAT EiCOVRAGEMENT TO TRADE OF EGYPT BY THE PASHA. —There have been lately imported at Trieste, samples of sugar cultivated and refined in Egypt. The. Pasha has also established manufactures of cotton, silk, and cloth, under the direction of his favourite Jussuf. He invites Euro peans front all countries to exert and make the best of their talents and industry. He has_ his ships and materials also from Europe. The brother of Jussut is settled at Trieste, as the Pasha's principal agent. About twenty other agents are employed in different countries forming commercial relations. The grand canal of Ramanieb from Cairo to. Alexandria, was finished about the end of January last. The Pasha pro ceeded to inspect the various works that hare been executed accordiUg to his plans. GOB, THUR, A NEW VARIETY OF THE WILD Ass.—Thc. Marquess of Hastings, Governor•deneral in India, has received as a present from the Nahob Of Ilhaurnl pur, a wild Ass, of the species called- GOr .771Ury by the In dians. Th is beautiful animal is from 11 to 12 bands high, has long ears, black eyes, and is of. a chamois colony. He is.. not to be tamed, and in this and many other respects he r.e setubles the African Zebra. tie is represented as a most finished model of beauty, agility, and strength. THE NIGER.—It is at leng-th astertaihed that this river empties itself into the Atlantic Ocean, a few de greet to the northward of the Eiiiiator. This important fact is cinifirmed by the . arrival of Mr, Dupuis frOm Africa. This Gentleman was' appointed Consul from this _Country - at Ashantee (where Mr. Bowdich resided for ironic time;. Ile is acquainted with the Arabic and Moorish Languages, and got his intelligence by conversing with different traders, With whom he fell in at Ashantre. Ile thought it so important as to warrant his_voyage home to eormunnicale to Government what he had learift. We•say, that Mr. Dupuis has confirmed this fact ; for it so happens, that he has been anticipated• ill tae discovery by the geographical acamen of a Gentleman of Glasgow who arrived at the Same conclusion by a most per se: grin; and diligent investigation atilt: works of Travellers and Geographers, ancient and .modern, and exan►:tiing Al. rican captives; and had actually constructed and submitted to the inspection of Government two or three Months- ago a map of Africa, in which he lays down the Niger, as empty ing itself into the Atlantic, in about faur degrees north lati; :ude, after tracing nut its entire coerce front the interior. The building of the new Haymarket Theatre has commenced with great activity. It will be completed by the middle of June, and the per formances will commence early in July. Its si tuation is near the old house, 'exactly opposite Charles-street. We understand a most excellent Company is already engaged. .I , :leven fine oxen out of thirteen were killed a few days ago at Uphill House, near Bridgewater; in Somerset, by the falling of the roof of the cow leaze, under which they were sheltered, and the recovery of the other two is doubtful: • THE PRINCEis OF. WALES AND THE ORDER OF MALTA., , The, following extract is a translation of an authentic letter from a commander of high official rank in the Order of Malta to another commander of the same Order. The circumstances detailed in it might, no doubt, be verified or disproved by a reference to the records of this ancient Order at Milan : . % 'r -SATAN lA, SEPT._ 14,J 820. " SIR---The trial of her Majesty the QUEEN of ENGLAND is . now'so far •advanced, that it is im possible hut what the Parliament must at last be made acquainted with the manner in which our sacred Council granted the Cross of bevotion . to to M. PER-GA.SIIOIMA with the reasons which after• wards induced us to revoke the grant. " I do not recollect whether I informed you of the circumstance at the time it took place ; but, that you may - be able to answer any interro gatories which may happen to be put to you on the subject, I think it proper to acquaint you, that on the arrival of her Majesty, then Princess of Wales, at Catania, in 1816, she made a de. wand to his Excellency the Lieutenant of the Magistery, to grant the Cross of Devotion to M. Bartolomeo Pergami: I waited upon her, in company with another Knight, in obedience to the commands of the Lieutenant ) and represented that the Order of St. John of Jerusalem never granted the Cross without a certificate, ex- Pressive of the nobility of the candidate, signed by the professed -Knight Ancients of the Pri ories of, which they were members, nor with out payitig the customary fees. To this she replied, that the Order ought to regard the re comthendation of a Princess Of Wales, who was the mother of the lleiress of the Crown of Great Britain, as a suffkient Motive for compliance, and that for the same reason the Sacred Council should, condescend to dispense with the answer from Milan, which would occasion too -long a de lay, since her Royal Highneis could not possibly put off her departure from Sicily'. She then added, that in order to supply the want of the certificate of the Milanese Knights; 'she z:ould hersef attest the nobility of the candidate she re commended ; and she afterwards went in person to every Member of the Sacred Council to engage them to take the affair into consideration. To have doubted her word, and to have refused her request, wonld, at that time, have been not only improper, but highly offensive. The Sacred Council accordingly granted the Cross to- M. Pergami in consideration of the d eman d o f h er Jaoj i at Ltignness, aispensing Iwa likezeuvrom lug Melees if passage ; and on condition' that the Bull should not be valid till rifler it had been re;is tered in the Priory of Lomb(lrdw' all of which was properly stated in the Bull. Weimmediatelygave notice to our Brothers the Milanese Knights of this affair; when, to our great surprise, they in formed us of the birth of Bergami, of his moral character, and of the servile employment he-had exercised. On receiving this intelligence, his Excellency the Lieutenant applied to the Presi dent of the Venerable Assembly at Milan, and to the Venerable Bailiffs, to collect all the neces sary documents for properly stating the rank of life and priVate character of Bergami ; and in 1817, reclamations being brought forward against the concessions made in favour of Bergami to 1-he Lieutenant, he gave an official charge to the above mentioned three Dignitaries of the Order, to inquire whether M. Bergami was really such as he had been represented on receiving the Cross ; on the contrary, it was proved not, to be the case, he authorised them not toye gister- the Bull, but to declare it void, as he:Vt . /1g been - obtained under false p'retences., " Her Royal Highness endeavoured to inter fere this affair, and wrote to the President, and to me ; but with the respect due to her ex alted rank, we assured her that this affair related personally to M. Pergami, and must be discussed between him and the- Milanese Knights. My letter drew upon me a reply in such unbecoming terms that I was advised to - return no answer. The Bull was then declared void, and his Im perial Apostolical Majesty the Emperor of Au stria.prohibited his wearing the'decoralion of. the Cross of the Order. such was the manner in wilier; the Cross was granted, dependrizg on the word qf the Princess, but the concession was afterwards revoked, fro►n the clearest proofs that the whole was a gross misrepresetitation: l • COURSE OF EXCHANGE, Ftn.. 9.

Sovereigns .to the King, there was only one dpinion On the impossibility of maintaining.the ptesent order of 'things, among all who had any means of kidging of the T-situation and the wants of the country, whatever their views in other respects inight be. " When the Parliament of the loth -of Dec, was to decide upon - the Royal Message,.fiet" 20 Men, perliaps not 10, Would have . t'oted fOr . .rei• twining the Spanish Constitution, had they not been terrified by the threatS of the Carbonati, and of a small number of desperate Demagogiies. One must have been witness to the scene, to form an adequate idea of the confusion, the embarrass ment, the sham e , o f a ll these men, whose forther Cowardice supported a measure Which they them selves considered as injurious and even Insen s ate. 44 Since that day the state of affairs has be come more desperate. Men of talent, whose number was never considerable, have 'been all re moved from public business, or have volunta rily withdrawn. The Civil Intl Military AdMi nistration (if we may speak of Adniinistration in this state of perfect anarchy) is in the bands of the most incompetent men, who know not how to help themselves from day to day ; and do not enjoy the smallest confidence among their adhe rents. Gen. Pepe, and some desperate It epul;li cans, who surround and direct him, are masters of the Country, - and their power is founded an terror alone. The Sittings of the Parliament,WhiCh feel its impotence and nothingness, are intended merely to.hold up to the people the shadow of Government which, in fact, no where exists ; and to supply the Journals, from time to time, with some patriotic assevertions„ which the speak ers utter Mechanically, and the andb.nce hear with indifference. **w*** Despondency has reached its height since the publication of the Letter of the ,King of France urging the 10 1 4 of Naples to accede to the invitation of the So. vereigns, for before this a general I .11P ve lay° been e nt er t a i ne d, th at kk ranee the ()titer powers, Wit rattier oppose em. " A great deal is spoken, written. decreed, and proclaimed, about measures of defence, but in fact little or nothing is done, A few days 'ago it was' affirmed that 1 2,0:)0 men should be assebn bled at several points of Abruzzo ; hut, besides the garrisons of Pescara, Civitella; and some small fortresses, there are not perinips 2000 men col lected any where. Great dependenc::.is placed on the Militia and Volunteers ; hut there ;:re neither arms nor money to put them in motioni and the patriotic zeal is much too lukeWarni to I.lpply these wants. Gen. Pepe had reckoned . nn 30,000 men in Abuzzo;' but when he ;u-rived there he did hot find 3000. The Abruzzis:dechk;cd. they did not mind to expose . theiT•lives-for. the Spanish Constitution. Even. were there means to raise an army, it would be impossible, der present circumstances, to restore order 'And discipline. . The 'best Generals, Carraseosa; laJigieri, &c. have retired ; most of the - gtiod .Of ficers have followed their example ; and 'Pepe is not the man to create-an army out of discontfint ed, ill-paid, and disorganized troops. . - MistruSst and suspicion prevail among the Officers and Sol diers, and even between the Olikers. nOtlier knowing what side - the Alier would 'take in case of actual hostilities; and — accountS- n f troops mutinying aga i ns t their Oilicers.are.il illy received.
