TURIN, Novsmses 23.
• We receive from Naples notice of a discovery lately
made in Pompeei, which will be highly agreeable to all
our readers who regard the memory of the Romans;
this discovery is absolutely new. In the recent excava-
tion of a house near the Fullossies, there were found
five glass jars perfectly closed and placed in a small
wooden box : these jars being conveyed to the Royal
Museum were carefully cleared of the earth which so-
vered the outside, and it was found that two of them
contained a thick liquid substance in good preservation,
which, on accurate examination, proved to be a conserve
of olives, prepared for the table of some Pompeian Gas-
tronome, eighteen centuries ago; they are still entire,
which would appear marvellous, if not fabulous, were it
not confirmed by an authentic report. In another jar
there was a thick buteraceens sauce made of the roe of
fish. His Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies being
immediately informed of this unparalleled discovery,
desired to see it, and ordered an accurate analysis to be,
made of it, of which we shall speak iu our next number.

25th.—The following is the account given of the ex-
amination of the buteraceous substance found in one of
the jars at Pompeei. We think it useless to report the ex-
amination of the olives, farther than to say that they
are of the species still cultivated in the kingdom by the
name of gpanish
64 This substance is much softer than the olives ; it is
of a greenish yellow colour, it has a strong rancid smell,
and in the mass are small globules, resembling the roe of
fiila, but which a strong magnifying glass cannot well
determine. This substance is on the whole entirely ana-
logous to that found with the olives, it is composed of
the same elements of oleaginous acid, and of that inde-
terminate substance in some degree analogous to the
sweet principle of fixed oils. It should seem that ori-
ginally it was no other than olive oil, containing some
sauce (salsa), rather vegetable than animal, since the
distillation of it has not furnished any compounds of

Halifax Papers, just received at the North and South
American Coffeehouse, to the 16th November, state,
that the Chabucto was detained a short time at Canso,
owing to some disturbances having broken out amongst
the fishermen, but quiet is again restored.

French Papers to the 3d inst. and the Eteile of Sun-
day, have reached tis. The latter is filled with indig-
nation at an article which appeared in the Journal des
Debate, in which the superiority is given to England
over France, in policy, wisdom, and power. This ar-
ticle, according to the Etoik, was proposed to another
Paper, the Editor or which refused it, on the ground
that nothing, under present circumstances, would
justify him in publishing so violent an attack against
France." The Journal des Debate, adds the Minsterial
Print, 46 was less scrupulous." We have read the article
itself, and see nothing in it so very offensive to the dig-
nity of France, though the argument maintained is
certainly an unfounded and mischievous one, as it tends
Ito show that a general war, though suspended for the
present, is ere long unavoidable--a position which is
totally false and untenable.

The Etoile also, in reply to the other Paris opposi-
tion Papers, solemnly declares, that if when the Duke
of ANCIOULRME was in Spain, at the head of the French
army, and in the very midst of a war then far from its
termination, France refused the offers of the Portuguese
Royalists, and sent back the very Marquis of CHAIM
(then Count of AMARANTE), wbo had come to join the;
French with a whole division, she will, at a moment of
siniversal peace like the present, be still more scrupu-
lous in taking any part against Portugal. To this
satisfactory illustration, the Etolie adds . the equallyl
gratifying intelligence, " that the Spanish Government
has declared its intention of remaining neutral during
the struggles of the varioui parties which exist in Por-
tugal, and that the King of SPAIN has written the de-
claration of neutrality with his own hand."

In the House of Commons last night, Mr. M. A.
TAYLOR gave notice, that on the 27th of February he
should submit a Motion for separating from the Great
Seal atl cases of Bankruptcy. This would certainly be
g great relief to the LORD CHANCELLOR, who has, in
addition to his labours in the Court of Chancery, to'
preside also in the House of Lords.

Mr. LITTLETow brought forward his postponed Re-
solution relative to Private Bills, which he now proposed
to amend as follows:—" That any party or parties com-
plaining of the decision of a Committee, or his or their
agent or agents, shall deposit with the Clerk of the Fees
the sum of 5001. previous to the ballot for the Com-
mittee of Appeal ; and that he or they shall also sign a
note, agreeing that the whole or part of that sum shall
be paid as the said Committee shall direct." Mr.BANKIIS,
jUll. moved that the words 41 unless the House shall
otherwise determine," be added to the Resolution. This

' amendment was received with general approbation; and
n the end Mr. LITTLETON, in the expectation that
something in the nature of an arbitration bond might
be adopted in lieu of the proposed deposit, consented to
the postponement of the further consideration of the
subject till after the 'Holidays.
Mr. Secretary Pen, gave notice last night of an inv.
portant Motion, via. that he would, immediately after
the Holidays, move for a Committee to Inquire into the
State of the Police in the Districts adjoining the Me.
troplis, and would bring in Bills to consolidate the
Laws respecting the Laws of Theft, and the Laws be.
tureen Journeymen and Masters. The Right Hon.
Gentleman did not enter into any particulars further,
than his giving notice of Motion. The Orders of the'
Day having been disposed of, the House adjourned.
From the periods fixed yesterday for theconsideration
of some Petitions, it should seem as if the ensuing,
adjournment is at present intended to be only to the
middle of January, instead of the end of next month.

The intelligence from Constantinople in the French
Papers, confirms the extent of the late executions, or
rather massacres, which took place in that capital and
on the Asiatic coast. On the 20th of October, floating
bodies covered the sea, and vessels filled with exiles
were sailing in every direction. The Janissaries who
had taken refuge in Natolia, threatened the most des-
perate revenge, but as they had no point d'appai, their
menaces excited no alarm. News had been received
from Georgia, by which it appealed that the Russians
were pursuing their triumphs over the Persians with
great activity, and that the armies of the SCRAM were
falling back on every side. If this continue, history
will never have recorded a more unprovoked and
less successful invasion.

Mr. Pendrell, a shoemaker, late of Newgate-street,
was buried on Sunday, at Creeil Church, Leadenhall-
street, with masonic honours. He was descended from
the family of the Pendrells, in Nottinghamshire; one of
whom, Mr. Pendrell, of Beskell House, in that county,
secreted Charles 11. and saved him, by making him as-
sume the character of his servant. In this disguise he
was conveyed beyond the reach of his enemies. For
the services then performed, the family of Pendrell
received a pension at this day from Government. In-
tegrity seems to have descended from father to son as
an inheritance, for at a time when a reward of 1,0001.
was offered for the apprehension of young Watson,
Mr. Pendrell secreted him in his house in Newgate-
streets dressed as a female, watched over him to prevent
the approach of every intruder, accompanied him to
America, and never left him till be skw him in a
place of safety.
NATIONAL GALLIRY.—The projected National Gal-
lery on the site of the old Mews at Charing-cross,
is a building five hundred feet in length, composed
of two orders of architecture in height, namely, the
Doric and lonic. The front consists of four pavilions,
connected by colonnades ; the pavilions surmounted
by enriched polygonal domes, terminating in balls and
spears, bearing resemblance to that pile in the Regent's
Park, called Sussex-place. Over the centre divisiont
'of the structure, which, on the ground story, is a co.
loonade in limit of five arched entrances, rises a
large cii cular dome, u hich terminates in a temple some.
thing after the manner of the Choragic Monument, but
triangular on the plan, having a colossal statue oa every
side. This dome is supported by a tier of Pestum
Doric columns, rising from a square tower-like base,
at each angle of which there is a lion couthanr.—
Through the iatercolumniations the centre of the build-1
ing will derive its light. Above the two outward ,
colonnades, the façade is embellished with one tier of
windows, dressed with pediments, &c. aver which runs'
.a long pannel, filled with basso-relievos, not unlike the
Haymarket front of the Opera House. There will also',
be a very considerable display of sculpture in statues
and vases.

At Gloucester Fair, last week, there was not so large
a supply of stock as at former periods, and except in
one or two particular branches, the business was very
flat and discouraging to the agriculturist. Prime fat
beasts, however, were in request, and sold readily, at
about 6id. per lb. and some as high as 7d. Fresh and
meaty beasts were also in demand, but inferior cattle
and small lean stock were quite a drug, is consequence
of the scarcity of winter keep. In the sheep fair, which
was fully supplied, little or no business was doing ; fat
ewes were worth about sd. and wethers 6d. per pound,
and a few very fine sorted ones still higher, but no call
at all for stores. The number of pigs was small. •
