French pnPcrS.--We make the following
additional extracts from late Paris papers.
ROME, NOV. GA new field is lately
opened TO antiquarians near the city OF
Frascati, in the highest part OF Mount
Tusculum, which is enclosed in the city
Rufinella, which as well as the villa be-
longs to the King Of Sardinia. This Prince
has given orders TO make researches, which
have assisted in a remarkable manner to /
IDENTIFY the spot where was found the an
cient CITY Of Tusculum. In the neighbour
hood they have already discovered thea
ire. And now, by still greater good for
tune, they have found the walls Of the a
bandoned city, the road which led to it, the
street which led to the theatre, and mile
stone still on the same place where it had
been placed several ages ago. This street,
paved with large stones, led to Palestrina.
'rhey have also discovered an aqueduct,
public fountain and baths, u head Of Jupi
Ter in good style, vcse Of violet marble Of
beautiful form, but injured by tme-.cthcr
objects ofantiquity, also ofmarble, and some
elegant paintngs.-These are the objects
which the researches SO far have brought
to light. But many motives inspire hopes
respecting this magnificent and rrgin ru-
in. The science of antiquity will find OBJ
iects to exercise itself upon, and new glo-
~ will arise in the city of fTuscuum.-Dls-
covcries so precious give an occasion to
Count Blondi, who has the charge of them,
10 display his erudition and his talent for
writing.
s.,
tcrsburg, that Professor Boukirsky, mem
bcr of the University of that capital, will
give this winter n course OF public lectures
an Russia, on Rhetoric and Literature. II
is the first time such has been given at
Petersburg.
VIENNA, Nov 3O.-Thc following chan
res are announced in the official Gazette.
The Baron dc Vincent, his Macsty's
Ambassador at the Court Of France, after
having served with distinction either in the
military or diplomatic career, for more than
forty years, has requested leave to retire.
The Emperor has granted his request, and
has appointed to succeed him Prince Paul
Estcrhazy, his Ambassador at the Court OF
London. Count Anthony dAppony, Am
bassador to the Holy Sec, is appointed to
succeed Prince Esterhu2y i'll quality ofAm-
bassador to London.
MADRID, Nov. 2S,--Tho disputes be-
tween tho Ambassadors Of the great Pow
crs and the Duke Plnfautado still continue.
But Mr.. Frederick Lamb, the English Min
lister Plenipotentiary, who till now had re-
maincd simple spectator of a rapid and
constant change of notes, has taken since
the day before yesterday an active part IN
these contests. The following is the sub
stance of n note sent by him to the Duke
dlniantado.
."That all the European Powers agree
upon the necessity i'll which Spain Is plac-
cd to acknowledge the independence of
the Americas, and all share upon this sub
icct the opinion of England, though they
differ in some of the details. 1t is proper
that the Spanish Government should decide
TO make arrangements with their former
subjects across the sea, and that in case
they do not each of the powers will make
openlv with the insurgents, treaties OF any
sort they may find best for their own inter
ests."
The Duke dInfantado appeared at first
embarrassed at the tone of Mr.. Lambs note;
but it is asserted, that he decided to answer
BY refusing his participation in any treaty
which should have for its result the aban-
donment of the whole or any part of the
rights ofSpain over her ancient possessions
beyond the sea.
nj. de Monster, on his side, presses for
the payment Of the part of our debt due TO
France; ne threatens us with the retreat of
The army Of occupation, but this menace as
vet produces no effect For far from fear
ing the departure of the French troops, the
government appears To desire it, and If the
contrary should take place, IT would be i'm
possible to repay France, for ever after the
proposed reforms have taken place, the
revenues of the state will present an annual
deficit of 900 millions of reals TO pay the
current expenses, and no one is willing 10
make lis 81 loan.
