The See Of Rome has manifested disposition
to interfere in the internal affairs of Spain. A
decree has been issued, By which several works
are prohibited. The Decree was published On
the 26tl Of September, accompanied by the usu-
al anathemas. Among the prohibited works
were those of many of the most respectable
Spanish authors. One was, +" The History Of
the Inquisition Of Spain. BY Llorenti !" another
was & The History of the Ecclesiastical Reye-
nues of SPAIN" BY the illustrious Don Juan
Sempere;" and another, bearing the title, "Are
the Deputies of the C0rtes inyiolable against
the Court Of Rome ?" BY that work, the Court
of Rome declared that the Deputies were not
inyiolable.-The subject has been called up BY
amember of the Cortes, who considered the lat
ter as an attack against the sovereignty Of the
people. He wished to know If The Cories
would adopt any resolution Oh that point.

In the great earthquake in Syria, which com
menced the 18th of August, and continued at in
tervais till the 9th Of October, the sufEerings Of
the population, and the loss of property, can
scarcely be paralIeled in the annals Of human
calamity. The spacious mansion that has been
the residence of the British consul for $50 years,
was completely ruined. and the houses Of all the
other public agents, were likewise entirely des-
trovel. Out of a population of three thousand
Jews, 600 lives were lost. Two thirds Of the fam
lies in Aleppo, have neither the means Of ma
king long journey to remove to a town out Of
the effects Of the earthquake, nor Of building
shed to keep off the rain.

Of faith, and the whole armed population Of the

I.oNnoN.LCnlnier.A May 3

We mentioned, on Saturday, that the
Duke d'AngoheDe had found some unex-
pccted difficulties in his march upon Ma
drid. The nature of these difficulties will
be best understood by the following fact,
which we communicate upon good authori-
ty-yiz that sc, 900 additional troops are
ordered 10 march TO the Pyrenees, from
the northern parts Of France. We believe
the last dispatches from the head quarters
of the French army strongly urged the
importance of immediate renforcemcuts.
In fact, the necessity of masking or redu-
clog the strong fortrcsses of San Sebastian,
Pampcluna, and Figueras, and the impos-
sbility of doing either with the force ac-
tually employed, explain sufficiently the
grounds Of this new levy. This is the
cause, and not on account Of negocia-
tons being commenced, that there has
been a pause IN the advance Of the French
army.
We have also another piece Of ,ntelli-
gcnce to announce, respecting which strong
rumors have prevailed for some time. 1t
is, that Russian army is uadouJtehy as
sembling m The DVchy Of HarSd,c; whether
to be nscd for the purpose of overawing

or as body of troops to join the French

When, however, we unite the circumstance
with the news last received from Vienna,

that Court and ST. Petersburgh had again
become very active, and with the intei-
gence from Lausanne, that the Austrian

ROMAN
The Diari6 d. Roma gives an &C.
count of an interesting discovery oil
ancient art, recently made. while the
Monastery Of St. Lucia was under
going some repairs. At very small
depth under the ground. the work
men found finger and n fragment
of the arm of a statue This gave
occasion to further searches and on
digging TO the de depth Of only a few
palms, FIVE statues. of the size OF life,
were discovered among some rubbish.
Three of these statues were Fawns
In different attitudes: one, a Sllenus;
and the fifth represents one OF the
Appiades. The most perfect of the
Fawns has the head; the others, and
the Sileuus, want the head, or some
other parts, which, it is hoped, will
yet be found. The workmanship is
extremely beautiful, and tho original
lustre of the surface is still preserved.
There have also been discovered a
column of dark brown colour, about
two palms in diameter; another small
err: and a part Of an ancient wall
On eXploringthe interior ofthis wall,
to the height of about ten palms. and
in breadth to about two and half.
it was found to be faced with marble.
The pavement before it is entire and
is constructed OF marble of various
coluus and forms. At the distance
Uf about eight palms from this wall
the pIinths of the first ,mentionened
column, and of two others, were
found. 1t appears that, at this spot
there had been portico with statues,
which had been thrown down towards
the road. which is the direction ofthe
fragments. and the bricks of the ru-
in. BY prosecuting the digging, the
other sides Of The building and its or
naments, will, perhaps, be found /;
and we shall then learn the dimen-
sionsof the edifce, which doubtless
was rich in specimens Of the fine arts.
About this monastery, and that OF
San MARITIME, there exist considera-
BILE remains of ancient public works.
which. according to the opiuion OF
anti1uaries, belonged to the baths of

Prudence conducts us with so much
pentleness in all the different sea-
sons of our life, that in a manner we
are not sensible Of it. If at twenty
years we coald see in a glass the face
we shall have at sixty, we should
shrink at the change. and be terrified
at our figure;-but it is day by day
that we advance: We are to-day as
yesterday, and Tomorrow as to-day,
and it is a miracle of that Providence
which We adore.

ANSWER.

aNS '" En-.
The dews of night may fall from Heaven,
Upon the withered roses bed,
And tears of fond regret be given,
To mourn the virtues of the dead
Yet mornings suns the dews will dry,
And tears will fade from sorrows eye,
Affections pangs be lull'd to sleep,
And even love forget to weep.
The tree may mourn its fallen leaf,
And autumn winds bewail it, bloom,
And friends NAV heave the sigh of grief
Ger those who sleep within the tomb;
Yet soon will spring renew the flowers,
And tine will bring more smiling hours
In friendships heart all grief viii die,
And even love forget to sigh
The sea may on the desert shore,
Lament each trace it tears away,
The lonely heart its grief may pour,
Der cherish d friendships fast decay:
Yet when all trace Is lost and gone,
The waves dance bright and gaily on,
Thus soon affections bonds are torD,
And even love forgets to mourn.
