this now is very cottfOrtiable to ihe.character of
thia magnanimous Sovereign I but nothing surely can
be more remote Irons generosity, than to exercise it
at the expense of a third person. Besides, all might
have been reconciled in the most laudable manner
that is (since Prince Eugene wished to sell them) to
buy them for Russia, and thin restore them to the
owner. Our public prints. farther affirm this has been
only half done, the Ruisian Court has bought these
paintings for half a million of franci—thee four
Claude's alone arc worth more : but the seller might
be contented with this price, because he had no right
to any thing.

We hope that the. Emperor, when he is informed
of the true state of the case, will not hesitate to have
the property of the Elector restored to him : should
this however not happen, we shall have to relate the
unvarnished truth, that the rights of a German Elec-
tor, whose house is distinguished in the remotest pe-
riod of the history of Germany, have been infringed
in order to please one of Napoleon's Princes. but
all the Hessians, nay, even all Germans who are
sensible of the beauty of these works, are hurt.
These pictures were accessible to foreigners and
natives, and almost always in the painting room.
Hesse Cassel has sent forth numerous.artists; here
in Cassel, some of very great merit are.living at this
moment. Particular encouragement has attracted
others to different parts of Germany, and one of the
first landscape painters now at Rome is a native of
Cassel. Add to this, that the Electoral Princess
herself cultivates the art with much taktit, and tries
to protect it as much as possible.
