THE FINB ARTS.

ROME; OCT. 24.—The official annunciation of
the return of all our treasures of art from France
excites here the greatest enthusiasm. People do
not cease to praise the justice of those Powers who
'contribute towards it, as well as the generosity of
Lord Castlereagh, who placed 100,000 francs at
the disposal of Canova, to facilitate the packing up
and coo veyance of thew precious articles.-Abbe' Ca-
nova, a brother of the celebrated sculptor, and Abbe
Marini, received front the French library the MSSe.
medals, and stones, taken from Rome. The French.
Museum, besides what it formerly possessed, has,
besides, a valuable addition to the works of art,
bought of Prince Camillo Borg-hese. In order
to make the Museum at Paris the sole point of
union of the finest monuments of antiquity,'
Napoleon forced his brother-in-law to sell his
collection to hiin, and an Imperial Decree of
April 27, 1807, fixed the conditions.
,This Decree-
was preceded by strict examinations on the part.
of the French Government, and CoMmisSioners,
at the head of whom was Denon, who was
sent to Rome to make an exact inventory of ail
the articles, and fix their• price. Connoisseurs at
Rome, among whom was Canova,. declared the-
BorgiteseCollection to he invaluable; however,.
he gave it an approximate value far above the
twelve millions, at which Napoleon set the price.
According to the Ikeree of April 27, 1807, the
twelve millions ►were paid to Prince Borghese-
1. In three millions of francs in money-2. In
six millions of inscriptions in the Grand Liv. re
—3. By _giving him an Abbey called Luce-
dis, iu PiechnOnt (a national domain). This
.year, however, the CoUrt of Accounts at
Turin sequestrated the income of the Abbey, and
_sent Commissioners to take possession of the es-
tare. Prince Borghese makes a reclamation against
thils step of the Sardinian Government. Be-
sides the right, which seems to be on his side, his
conduct as Governor-General of Piedmont speaks
in his favour, .he never having committed those
arbitrary proceedings which rendered the tools of
Napoleon so odious in many places.
