NATIONAL INSTITUTE.
In the fitting of the 5^1 of Auguft,
*-iti/en Mouge gave an account of the
dilcovery made by citizen Laborde,
furmg his travels in Spain, of certain1
Mvfaic representations in the ancient
city of Itahca. They are far fuperior
to any of thole that have hteu handed
d nvn to us frrtn antiquity. They
cot.tain an accurate defeription of a
c rcu: and a chariot race. The < ircus
is furrounded by thebuft of the mufes,
three of which are unfortunately btok
en* Iheravage*, however, have not
ex:ended over the whole o( the circus ;
w‘dch in every refped rclembles that ct
Caracalla. Citizen L iborde will (hort
ly pu ;i lb an account of the various
monuments of antiquity which he dif*
covered in Spain ; and give a partied
tar defeription -f Italic a, w!*iJi was the
b'tih place of Trajan, Adrian, Theo
dolius the great, Silus 1 alicus, and
Cornelius, who was centurion of a Co,
hort, called Cohort Italica, who is ipo.
ken cf in the Ada of the Apoft es, and
who fit it embraced the Ciirtfttau rel;gt
on. i he author treats largely **f the
anc cr.t circu-, c t the procefiion, the
p:a e of the prar.or, the goals, toe race j
couile. the ornament* of he circus j1
he c rnpares it with the Hvprodromc
horfe race co’nfe <*t Olympus, whi ch
ha* been deieubed by the learned liar
therein'.
-L.O; g accounts have already been
given of the factions of the circus, and
tl c bloody quarrel winch they gave rile
to at Rome and Couliantmopir, under
the emperors. Cut no ane'ent monu
ments, except the Mofaics, have ever
given the particular colo s by which
they were d:»bnguilh:d. Here are to
be feen the green fafhon, ard the red
ta£iion (facia rujfiti.) ihedreffes of
the hinieinen and charioteers are faith
fuily deiciibeJ ; and in the M< fiic or
llalica is to be oif.rveJ, for the fir tl
time the fcafons dillinguillicd by their
■ efpcwlive coior?. The geniu* of fpring,
whuh h»kts m its hand a Li d, weais a
greau mar.tie • the ge. ius of turning!
cane* a balket lull of iiuit, and is
clothed w.ih a robe of a red color ; the j
genius of winter is nearly delltoyedrj
but it c.#o cufily be perceived that it
was clothed in white, that it earned a
hate in i'.s hand, and a quivei on it^:
back.

The iaft will of the late Prince Hen

date the 25th Feb- 1802. The fol
lowing is a copy of it •
“ It will be left in the place where I
may be, whether in bed or in a chair,
till no doubt fhall remain of my death ;
but while even uncertainty remains, the
drawers and clpfets in the chamber
where I perform the laft adl of lifb, ih tll
be fealed.—When it is certain that I
am no more, my corpfe fhall belaid on
a fimple tent bed. I will not trouble
my Jomeflics to adorn me ; and fince
cuftitm. however, requires it, I will be
drefled in my cldcft regimentals j and',
fhould my legs be fwclled, my boots
fta'l be cut open ; it does not fignify,
fo they are on;y fit tor a dead man to
wear. Befides thofe who place a real
interefl in my lofs, no one (hall be per
mitttd to fee me. I will not tend to an

exh'bifed to tiie public,
“ Count Reeder (hall announce my
deceafe 10 the king ; at tbs fame time 1
telling him that Count Dc la Roach
Aymon, being charged with mylaft will

difeherge a private commiflion, and de
liver him fumeihing from me : he (hall
tell him that, according to this will, [
am to be interred at Remfoetg : that
that lame defire Rood in my teitament
which I requeft him to open fpcedilr ;
that my burial place w*as tcueraole and
that I made an epitaph on myfe l,
which mofi remain on the flone that is
to be placed at the vault on 'he very
day of my interment. That I defire
niethcr flambeaux nor lights around
tny coffin, it being to be doled as foon
as it (ball be ready and l put into it, not
wilhing to flay a moment longer above
the eat tli than is necelfiry to ascertain
my dea*h.
“ A Angle petfon fhall gaurd my

interment being fixed, it Hull have plate

any ether pomp, my domeflica fhal!

through thefaloon of yellow marble, to

is not far oif : as foon as the coffin is
put in there, the t imbflone, which I
have had engraved, (hall be placed at
the entrance by the Architect Keincrt;
and this having occurred all is done. 1
belong no more then to the kingdom
ot the living.
“ I bef e'h the Count De la Roche
Aymon, to fummon together the gen

my death, with the private Secretary
Le Ceauld, and the Archirefl Keinert,
:n an apartment oi the Caflle, after my

thole Gentlemen, that I die gr iteful :
that I piay them to protect each o’her

by favoring the one more than the other,
I have only followe i (he impulfe i f my

Moreover, I havt recommended thofe
who have ferved m *, t > the king and
my belts, not doub ing but that a& of
my 1 ill tcdaipc.it will be executed.
“ The 'word which I wr re in the fev

Count De la Roche ; and I rtqn;ft him,
after my interment, to repair to the king,
and to afluie him of my lad withes lor

er’s ; fecooJ, fcceaufe he propofes two
forms nf government, and balances
monarchy with republicanifm. The
Jacobins deteft it, becaule he hefitates
between a republic and a monarchy.—
Pcrfons attache^ to the government
ha c it, beranfe he propofes a form of
government which is not our own.—
Thofewho have no party, are aftonilh
cd ibat M. Necker fhould take the trou

has juft been completely changed ;—
and, that he fhould fhew the advanta- !
ges and inconveniences of two different
foims of government, a republic and
a limiled monarchy, without fixing de

ST. PETERSBURG, JULY 2^.
The Ruffian American Company
continue to give more and more ex*
tent to the branch of commerce they
have undertaken, which, in time, will
undoubtedly become of high impor
tance to Ruffi.t. It is now employed
in a plan whiih is of the gveatdt con.
fequence, not only to the trade, but al
fo to the honor of Ruflu. It is going
to fit out two fhipswhich are to fail from
this place wi ll a cargu of provifions,
an hers, cables, rigging, See- to fail
round the Southern extremity of Ame
rica, aciok the South Sea, to the North
Weft Co a ft of .America, and the Alieu

tered in China for Chinese goods, to
make by the way an eftabiiflimer t at
LTrup, one cf the mod fouthetly of the
Kurile lllands, for the greater convent,
ence of the trade to Japan ; and then to
return from China by the Cape of Good
Hope. The Ihips will be wholly man
ned with Ruffians, and the Emperor,
who highly approves of the plan, has
ordered that the bell officers and iailors
of the navy may be employed in the ex
pedition...
ns this is t lie nr it voyage round the
world undertak en by Ruffians, no pain*
art fpared to s ffure to the expedition a.
happy rcfult. Tne command of the
fhips is given tc capt. Krurnftcrn, who

was the firft pi pofer cf the plan. For
the formation of the eitablilhment at;

OF FRANCE.
What is loft in folid liberty, is bcra
attempted to be made up in merriment
and .'hew ; and in this refpccl the old
order of things has not only obtained
a complete re.ertabbfhmenr, but ap
pears before us with additions anl
amendments. It is of no confequencc
that the people were not confuked up
on their late transfer from ere confti.
tution to another ; they*hav\; been told
that the whole affair is now fettled, and
that their .happineff has attained it*
fummit : and the Chief Costal, with
great generoftty, provides for them
| gratis, the means of exprelCng tbtif
joy and g-atitude of heart. No ftep
t could be more political than the very
brilliant fete exhibited on the 15t.l1 of
Auguft l ift ; it has taken off the alien,
tion of thofe who were on the verge o£
thinking ; and has put into good hum
our even many of thafe who had tho’t
and were diffatisfifed. By combining,
moreover, birth day with the feaft of
the conftitution. Bonaparte has thrown
out a hint of their neceffary union, ar d
laid the foundation of an axiniverfary
lead for his own nativity. We fpeak
much of the Britifh miniftet** fkill in
dividing the loaves and tiihes among
the different members of his own fam.
ily :—but Bonaparte has evinced taL
ents as far fuperior to him in this re
fpeft as in every other. Having libe
rally provided for his his br ihers, hi*
I fiftet’s hufbands, and his wile’s fon, we
now perceive th*t he has found out an
, old uncle who. has been brought up to
the church :—the old pried is fer.t fo*-,
dragged out of h:s obfuiity, and pLceil
at the head of the church, by being
crcjted archbifhop of Lyons. How
long this family compaift may continue
we know not: the bonds of union are,
however, too llrong to be e Wily broken,
and therp is too moch torpidity, in the
nation to reader any attempt of the
kind very probable^
