Tranflated from the original Italian.
Account of this Work from the Monthly Review.
_ _

" Europeans knovilittle of the interior of Mexico; the accounts
given of that country by travellers are difeordant, in confemienec
of their ignorance of the language and manners of the people they
dekribe, and their unacguaiutance with a prodigious number of
memoirs and relations, that throw light upon the hiltory of that
famous country. If ever a writcr was qualified, by a combination
of advantageous circumftancas, for computing a Hiftory of Mex-
ico, it is certainly the Abbe Clavigero. Fur he has not only pe-
ruled, as it kerns with care, all the writers who rake mention of
this great empire, but he was born in the country, is mailer of its
language, arid has vifited all thofe parts of it, which the Spanifh
Government has rendered inacceifible to the curiofity of travellers.
Nor did he pay them only a tranfirory vifit, for he (pent r.bove
thirty years in obferving, with the eye of a philoropher, all the
pat is of this extenfive region, and in procuring from the natives
exad Information with raped to every objed of any confequence,
fo that he may he almoft conlhtered as an ocular witner, of what
he relates. If to there uncommon advantages, the laborious and
learned Author has joined that critical acumen. fu neceffary to ap-
preciate the fources of information, to difeufs dubious fads, to
combine fcattered fragments, and to ieparate truth from fable, and
has crewred all by that belt: candour,which rupprelles every thing
that is falfe, and difguifes or conceals no important truth, his work
mutt be an inellimable prefent to the republic of letters Such is it
efteemed by good Judges, who attribute to him largely ad tin le
qualities.
" It is with pleafure that we haye perukd the work, and we
hefitate not to recommend it to reader. of every defcrlption. many
will derive from it much real information, and all will be greatly
I ntertained by the variety of incidents, and the minter-our ;wee-
dotes. it contains.
" We think the tranflator has done his countrymen, who are
ignorant of the Italian language, a material fervice, by prefertin
Ithem with the Abbe Clavizero's work in an'Englith deers."

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FROM THE DHTCH PAPERS.

VIENNA, FEB. 25.—General Vincent is Ilill at the
French head-quarters. Couriers arrive from him
daily, and the difpatches they bring occafion frequent
meetings of the Cabinet, which are in general at-
tended by his Majelly, or the Archduke Charles.
According to the laft accounts from Dalmatia,
every thing is Bill tranquil there. The Ruffians re-
tain poirefflon of Cattaro and Caftlenuovo, but appear
to have no hoffile operations in cnntemplation. The
French are at Ragufa and Spalatro. The former
place is daily more firongly fortified by them. It is
thought that the troops afrembled in Frionl are def.
tined for Dalmatia. The Auffrian expedition under
the command of General Bellegarde, has not yet
left the neighbouring ;Bands.
Our Court Gazette of this day, contains the fol-
lowing article

" (Miran Pacha of Wlddin, known by the name of Pafwan
Oglntl, celebrated for his military talents, his enterprizing fpirit, and
she l'ucctfsful defence which he made in his town again ft the United
Pewee of the Turkifh Empire, died on the sth of February. By
his death, Ruffia is freed from a formidable enemy; who, though
he had not publickly declared himfelf, bad made preparations
within the walls of Widdin, for ading againft that Power. Mug'.
tapha-Bairadar, Aran of Rutfchuck, who can march 16,cm traps
again(' the Ruffians, has 33 yet done nothing that dt.ferves notice.
General Michelfon Rill remains in his concentrated poficion, but
he has detached a,cco men from Ws bead quarters at Bucharelt,to
reinforce his advanced guard. 'I he Servian Infurgents have as yet
taken no part in the important events."
FPB. zB.—The following article has appeared in
the Court Gazette of this day :
_ _

a As fucceffors to Ofman Pacha.(Pafwan OgIon), in the Go-
vernment of Widdin, twe officers arc mentioned, viz. Mehtnifch
Aga, and Molja, the Lift of whom is noted for the cruelties he
committed during the difputes which !Wotan had with the Porte
and the neighbruring Pachas. Fach el there competitors have a
nnmemus party, and have already come to blows. It kir Paths
is appointed to the command of all the troops dellined to defend
the Dardanelles, and r yen the Admiral of the Fleet is placed under
him. Betides the (hips of war which are lying in the Road and
Canal of Conftantinople, nine other (hips are fitting out in the ar
fetish, and are almoft ready for tea. In the beginning of April
the Grand Seignior is to join the army with the ftand-trd of Ma-
Irtmet. The rcinforecruents of Afiatic troops, which are deftined
fur the army, arrive very novel>, in confequence of the dittancc
they have to march. It is underftond that the Ottoman troops
have obtained tome advantages over a Ruffian prty, which had ad-
wnsccd into the neighbourhrod of Siliftria. rhe Turkifli Com-
mander has fent to Conftanrinople the heads of fevcral Ruffians,
who were killed in the actions where, accordirg to ancient cultism
they were placed. on the aid ot Jaruary. on the principal gate of
the Seraglio. The fleet of the Erglith Admiral Collingwoosl, is et-
pears' in the Dardanelles. The Ruffian fleet under the command
of A dmiral Seniavin, which cruizes in the fold* and Egens Seas,
has been reinforced by three fh,ps of the line and nine frigates."

According to letters from 'Fritlle, Genetal Bel-
legarde has arrived there in the Ertlus ; the unfa-
vourable Rate of his health has obli_led him to aban-
Con the expedition under his command, which is
now in the harbour of GA tippana. General Von Lutz
has the command ad interim.

In the end of last wtelc an officer arrived here
from the garrifon Semlin, with difpatches for
Count Stadion, our Minilier for Foreign Affairs.
FRANKFORT, MARCH s.—Yeacrday arrived here
:oo Ruffian rrifot,ets, under efcort of a French de-
tachment. There are no other Pruffian troops in
Silelia, except thole that are shut up in the fortrelfes
of Niche, Crrzel, Glatz and Silber berg. The born-
hArdment of the firil of thefe places, has wlread7
commenced. It is one of the Brenta towns in St-
as the country round it can be lAid under water.
Awls MOAN, MARCH 13.—We learn that a COM-
mcicial Treaty has been concluded between the
Kings of Italy and Bavaria, the Grand Dukes of
i'mden and Berg, and the Prince of Neufchatel. It
very probable that all the remaining Pi inces of the
(Infester auon of the Rhine will accede to this treaty.
The French letters and papers of the gth, contain
,•, thirty of importance.
