AJX-LA.CUAPEV.LE, SEPT. 9.—The worki of art
plundered from Prussia; Brunswick, Hesse, and
Mecklenburgh by the French, and convolve, to Pa.
ria, having been restored upon the demands of Mr.
Bibbentrop, he has claimed 40 pillars of granite,
taken from Ail-la-Chapelle, which are employed in
the support and decoration of the Museum. He has
also claimed the tomb of Charlemagne, which is like-
wise the property of the town of Aix-la-Chapelle.—
Great difficulties arise in finding the treasures of li-
tertture that have been carried off. The search is,
' however; diligently prosecuted. Of the books taken
from the Abbey of Pruitt, the valuable Codex .Afareus,
which is ornamented with many jewels, and is va-
lued by the French librarians at 200,000 francs, has
been found in the library and will be taken away.—
There have also been found 52 volumes of the cele-
brated collection of engravings belonging to Cologne;
which the Prussian Intendant-General has also taken
. away.
