The following trait evinces the obainate cha-
rader of StTIVALROW. During his banifhment to

?..Autur.v." The moment he read the addrcfs, he
defireal t!.e cou:i4r to carry back the letter. It
nor (or me, (o,id he); were Soweaaow a Field
:.I.ircrial, he werild not be kept prifoncr in a vil-
lx,gt ; h would be fern at the head of an army."
Illy cornier hi rain remonarated on the rafhnefs
of his determination, and was obliged to return the
dig-patch unopened to the Emperor.
In the neighbourhood of Odia, near Rome,
t!.cre has lately been dug up a 'malt noble Rat"
.nf. Achilles, nine and a half Roman palms in
height, and in perfed prefervation. The hero
lulls a metal lance its iris right hand, and the
tar,Todaw in his left r the helmet on his head is
iu!na,tinted with a large plume of feathers, refem-
bll'y; that of the celebrated lime of Villa Bor.
which, however, is not of equal workman-
111. This work, certainly one of the finea that
t t.teece has produced, does not exhibit the mime
of the artill; the infcription, votive- Marti, engraven
a one of the legs, proves that it had been conic-
rtated to the God of War.
