We receive from Naples no,ice of a
discovery lately made in Pompeii, which
will be highly agreeable to ali our read
ers who regard the memory Of the Ro-
mans. This discovery is absolutely
new. In the recent excavations of a
house near the Frelloaica, there were
found hive glass jars, perfectly closed,
and placed in small wooden box
These jars, being conveyed TO the Roy
al Museum, were carefully cleared Of
the earth which covered the outside,
and it was found that two of them con-
tanned a thick and liquid substance in
good preservation, which, on accurate
examination, proved TO be a conserve
OF olives, prepared for the table Of some
FompeIIan Gastronome 1900 years ago.
They are still entire, which would APP
pear marvellous, if not fabulous, were it.

another jar there was thick buttera-
ceous sauce, made Of the roe Of fish.

shan himself. yet being stl in the full bloom of
beauty, and agreeable in her manners, he was
induced solely by her personal charms. to make
her offer Of his hand, heart. and fortunes
little supposng, of course, to what pitch the
latter were to rise. Bonaparte was then in his
twenty sixth year: Josephine gave herself in
the marriage contract for twenty eight.
Altho' he himself is said to have been iatalist,
believing in destiny and in the influence of his
star, he knew nothing, probably, of the predlc
ton OF negro Sorceress. who, while Marie Jo-
seph was but a child, prophesied she should rise
to dignity greater than that Of queen, yet
fall from it before her death Thiswas one ofthose
vague auguries, delivered at random by fools or
impostors, which the caprice of fortune matches
with corresponding and conforming event.
But without trusting to the African SYPHILIS pre-
dicton, Bonaparte may have formed his match
under the auspices of ambition we'll as love.
The marrying Madame Beauarnois was mean
of uniting his fortune with those of Barras and
Talllen, the first of whom governed France as
one of the directors; and the last, from talents
and political connexions, had scarcely inferior
influence He had already deserved well of
them for his conduct on the day Of the Sections,
but he required their countenance to rise still
higher; and without derogating from the brides
merits, we may suppose her influence in their
society correspondent with the views of her lover
1t is. however, certain, that he always regarded
her with peculiar affection; that he relied on
her fate, which he considered as linked with,
and STRENGTHENING his own, and reposed, besides,
considerable confidence in Josephine tact and
address in political business She had at all
times the art of mitigating his temper. and turn
ing aside the hasty determination Of bis angry
moments-not by directly opposing, but by gra-
dually parrying and dsarm"g them. Ii must
be added, to her great praise, that she was al
ways willing and often successful advocate
