STEAM-BOATS NOT A' MODERN INVENTION !---A letter
from M. de Navarette to the Baron de Inch, extracts of which
have appeared in the. Milanese journals, tepees n statement which
has been formerly made, and, declares that the invention of steam-
boats is as old AS the sixteenth centnry. Its statement is as fol,

by a captain of the Millie Of 131asett Loyola. The first trial of
them succeeded at Barcelims; but envy -end detraction defeated
the hopes of the inventor, although the King expressed his minis-
faction with 'the invention. Eventually, the wins in which
Charles was engaged caused the discovery of Captain Loyola to be
wholly lost sight of. The preas-verbutix respecting' it are,
however, deposited in the archives of Situancaa ; and I have in
my possession a detailed relation of the result of the experiment,"—
