PARIS. July 19.-As fast as opportunity pre-

abandonment of sinking cause will soon per-
wade Cadiz, and the public need not be sur

NEw-YoRK, Aug. 27.--.An Original Por-
trait of Charlottesville are highly gratihed
to state, that BY the last arrival from Spain
our country is put in possession of an original
and celebrated likeness of Columbus.
Its more particular history has been forward
ed to Washington, where the picture is des-
tined to add to those already in the Capitol.
By certificate from the President Of the Ma
tional Museum Of Seville, verified at the Office
of the Political Chiefof that city, and which is
attached to the canvass, we observe that il is
identified in all its parts as an original, and by
the same master who produced the full length
likeness of Columbus which is still in Seville.
The certificate further states, that this is the
same that was in the Cartuja.
1t is presented to the nation by George G..
Barrel, Esq. United States Consul at Malaga,
who secured the possession of it at Seville, by
the aid of the Prior of the Cartuja, when that
Institution suffered suppression.
The printing itself manifests the hand of a
master, and is well preserved but its chief
value consists in its being an original and true
likeness Of Columbus as such to Americans
liz must be deemed a valuable acquisition
and to the votaries of painting a triumph of
their art, which possesses thus faculty to rob
from the grave that portion Of its terrors
which il derives from oblivion.--D. .4dU.
