ANCONA, SEPTEMBER 20.

When Murat occupied himself with uniting to his
kingdom the Papal Tevrtori, s, he took great pains
to seduce the clergy and inhabitants of Aucon 4. He
made, in particular, silne.tich presents to the Chapter
of Our Lady of Loretto ; but the Chapter, neverthe- '
less, remained faithful to the Holy Father, and con-
stantly refused to offer up for him and his family the
.prayers which are adapted to crowned heads. When
the Ex-king effected his retreat, he demanded back
from the Chapter the diamonds, and a crown of pre-
cious stones which the Virgin wore on great solemni-
ties.—The carrying off of these valuables was effected
by force of arms.. Colonel Benfidi was entrusted
with the operation; but having fled with Murat, he
was pursued, and with difficolty escaped with his lit
only- from the hands of his enemies. The casket was
abandoned, and it was long thought that all the
riches which he had carried off were irricoverably

lost. On the 15th instant, some peasants, in digging
ditches around a field near the highway, found a
casket, and having seen the cyphers of our Saviour
and the Virgin M.try on its covering, they thought
they had (mutt! some relics, and they took them to
the nearest church. The Arch-priest of St. Michael'
having recognized them as the treasures of Oar Lady
of Loretto, the Pontifical Authorities immediately or-
dered a solemn procession and public thanksgivings,
and the venerable cro*n and jewels were formally
restored.

Brussels and Frankfort Papers arrived this morning.
The latter are chiefly occupied with the rumours
which we have had over and over of the reported
terms of the Treaty with France.
The Brussels Papers contain a Deetee of the Kno,
slated the 29th September, annexing to the title of
Patecs of WATERLOO a dotation, producing alt an-
nual revenue of 20,000 Dutch florins, to be possessed
irrevocakly and for ever by the PRINCE of WATERLOO
and his legitimate descendants. The preamble of
this Decree is in the following terms :—"• Desiring
is give to the Duke of WELLINGTON, Prince of WA.
TERLOO, a pledge of the national gratitude for the
splendid services which he did our Kingdom on the
ever-memorable days of the 18th, 17th, and 18th of
June last, when, with the aid of DIVINE PROVIDENCE,
he so powerfully contributed, by the wisdom of his
dispositions and by his calm and intrepid courage, to
repulse the common enemy, and to consolidate this
infant kingdom." •
The second article indicates the lands of which the
said dotation is composed, *inch consist of the three
portions of domaniAl woods situatrd between Nivelles
and Quatre Bras, and containing altogether about
1083 nectars, or 1270 acres.

Letters from Ghent speak of the Spanish insurrec-
tion, but in a confused manner. The Spanish army
of reserve they say is assembling in Upper Anda-
lusia s and then they go on to state that " MINA,
who has already excited considerable fears in the Go-
vernment,is at the head "of an insurrection which
spreads rapidly. It is even said that he has made
himself master of Ferrol and Corunna." They then
allude to the accounts• which they have seen in the
London Papers of the proceedings of Foams, as
confirmatory of the news that had leached them.

Attempts have often been made to impress the
public with the idea that under the reign of Douai-
PARTE Works .f Literature were highly encou-
raged. Our Readers may judge of the correctness
of this statement from the following fact, commu-
nicated by a literary friend now in Paris :—De-
LALAIN, a respectable Bookseller .in that city, had,
doting BONAPARTE'S stay in Elba, opened a Sub.
scription Book for a Classical Work proposed to be
published in this country (we believe Steplune Greek
nt:aunt, now reprinting_in London) and had ob-
tained several subscribers. On the return of the
Tyrant many of the subscribers called and withdrew
their names, assigning as a reason, that now they
would not be able to afford to buy the work.
The Duke of Davoxsiiirtc has Waited a large
party of distinguished Fashionable', to his seat,
Chatsworth, which is tc be a scene of great festivity
for six weeks.
The Earl of ROSEEERRY has lowered the rents of
his estates in Scotland 20 per cent.
Mrs. MARY ANNE CLARKE, accompanied by her
two daughters, made her appearance last week at

It is a singular fact, that in tl►e late investigation
which took place before the worthy Bench of Ma-
gistrates at Greenwich, respecting Wilson, the pe.
destrian, that the only Magistrate who WAS Good-
enough, did not attena !
'1 he celebrated Problem of Dr. Price, to shew the
wonderful increase of Money at Coznpound Interest,
gave rise to the establishment of our Sinking Fund ;
but it requires a long series of years, according to that
geometrical Progression, to evince the great effect
attributed to it : for Jel now vested will require 158
years to amount to £2,000. The Doctor little calcu-
lated on the discovery of a new rule of increase, which
can now effect in three Weeks vh !t his rule could not
accomplish in 150 years ; and this any Person can
prove by vesting £23. II s. in the purchase of a
Ticket, which on the 7th November may increase to
£50,000 3 per Cent. Consols, as on that day all the
3 I'rizes of £50,090, and the 4. Prizes of £20,0001 in
