STOCKHOLM, Nov. 15.—A. most interesting dis-
covery has been made in the secret repository of the
Equestrian Order, viz., several chests full of docu-
ments which have not been examined for these thirty
years ; among them are original documents concern-
ing the revolutions of 1719, 1772, and 1789. Most
of the documents are written, and some elegantly
bound, and several have silver clasps. Geyer's third
volume of the papers of Gustavus causes some sensa-
tion.

HallovEa, Nov. 21.—The King of Prussia, who
had accepted the invitation of our Sovereign to come
to a hunting party at the Gohrde, has been sud-
denly hindered from undertaking the journey. His
Majesty, our King, has given up the hunting party
at the Gohrde, and is gone with his son-in-law, the
Prince of Schon, to Rothenkinhow, which is also a
royal hunting seat.—llamburgh Borsenhalle, Nov. 23.

A rivalry at present exists among the colonies of
Great Britain to forward to the mother country their
varied products. The Australian, the Tasmanian, and
other colonies, founded on the immense continent of New
Holland, now supply the manufacturers of England with
wools almost sufficient for our entire consumption. From
British Honduras there has recently been imported pre-
served turtle, specimens of which were yesterday ex-
hibited to, and tasted by, several connoisseurs in this
most important artiole for civic and other feasts. The
best turtles are caught and cured on the spot, at Hon-
duras. The full flavour of the fish is thus entirely se-
cured, and the loss of weight, and the laxity of stamina,
consequent upon a long voyage and want of proper food,
are thus obviated. To the preseverance of the proprietor
of the Honduras Observer (Mr. Gunter), the British
public are indebted to the introduction of pure turtle, at
a rate that will permit numbers to have a treat not
hitherto in their power.
TROGLODYTES.—The Paris Globe states that M.
Geoffrey de St. Hilaire, in his lectures at the Jardin des
Plantes, lately, presented several individuals (not living)
of the Pithesian race, known as Troglodytes. From their
organisation, form, facial angle, and disposition of the
eyes, he observes, they resemble men, and might seem to
be negroes reduced to brutes, or the negroes would be
but Troglodytes of a superior race. These Troglodytes
are found, as their name imports, dwelling in caverns in
the forests of Nigritia, or else in huts covered with leaves.
The negroes call them men of the woods ; but men of
science refer them to the monkey class.—Literary
Gazette.
