The Academy of Pine Arts at Paris, on &tut-

a you►tg man, aged 21 ; and that of Musical Com-
Position to another, aged 23.---What a happy

'persons are eligible to produce fine workisin them,
while yet in the 'prime of youth and vigour, and

THR rRENCTI •—•." The Paris Papers of
fittuday mention the seizure of the pamphlet of
'Viscount. CHAteAUBSUANDs on account of tbr-
maiity required by law not having been complied
with previous to the publication. This, howeier,
it appears, was aniere pretext, as on another edi•
tion of the work being published on Friday last:
the prescribed form having previously been 0b-
..-served, the whOle impresgion was seized at the
reqnisit ion of M. BELLART, the Procureur-General
of the Royal Court: It seems, that whichever
party gains the ascendancy in France, the liberty
of the press still means only. the writing bet one
side."—This just remark proceeds from alltorning
raper, and. we cordially subscribe to it, with the
addition, strange as it may seem, that the oikty
period daring which We can remember the French
Press entirely free was during the late short ascen-
dancy of BUOXAPARTE.

BRITANNIA PACKET.

TO THE EDITOR OF TIDE SUN.

Sta,—Alany thanks for •your prompt insertion
of my letter respect* the loss of the Britannia
at the mouth of the harbour of Ostend.

My information was derivedsfrom a Gentleman
who left Ostend the following morning of the
shipwreck. Major RocuPotur is a perfect stran-
ger to me except by many benevolent acts; not of
a nature to communicate, as they would involve
family feelings ; therefore I seized with avidity
the favourable opportunity of making known to
the public bis met itorious exertions.
It appears that I was in soma degree misin-
formed ; for Major RoenFotr, attended by Capt.
lIARVEY, of the Rover trade', did not succeed in
their hazardous attempt to gain the vessel, but
were overpowered -by the breakers : in the mean
time the *lumina beat through the piles, and got
into smoother water.---I may hare gone a little
ton 'far in attributing the whole merit to Major
Ji.ocuronr„ but I will maintain that his. persuilal
and animating example certainly gave the
petits.

I now perceive that much is due' to the crew of
a Flemish boat, to Captain Mittsrsa, of the
Eclipse, and also to Captain BaowN, of the .114 -
Ohs of Anglesea, for them conduct on the disrle,s-
tug
.occasion, which I feel great pleasure in
stating.

. ,
As to the certificate in favour of Capt.'SrttAil-
NAM!, of the Britannia, upon seeing it ,it it
friend's for Subscription, I really had great plea-
sure in sending it for insertion, being a most un-
usual tribute to a wan in his unfortunate situa-
tion. .Your attention will oblige
