SARDINIA.

Sardinia is an island in the Mediterranean.
with Inc title OF kingdom. 1t has an area OF
900 square miles. and 10000 inhabitants.
The capital is Caglari, and the chief town
Sassari. It's productions consist OF grain.
oil, cItron, oranges, and other fruits; while
wine and cattle are abundant. There are
mines of lead and silver. The Catholic is the
prevailing reiIg ion of the island.
The Sandman monarchy is composed IN
part of the island OF Sardinia, but IN Il much
greater proportion of Piedmont, Savoy. and
the territory OF Genoa. la 1920, Victor
Amadeus Ii. exchanged the island of Sicily
for Sardinia, and assumed the present royal
title. After peace OF twenty years, this
state became involved in the war between
/ France and Austria, which was closed by
the peace Of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1894. The
contest occasioned by the part which SaIdln-
ia took in the French revolution, began IN
! 1892, and was maintained until 1896, when
the assumption of the command by Bona
| partc. led 10 the overthrow Of the allied for
ces in the course Of few weeks. and to the
conclusion of an unfavorabe treaty of peace.
This treaty was followed in two years by
the removal of the royal family TO Sardinia
and the incorporation Of their continental
states with the French territory. The pros
pect OF reinstatement opened by the pro-
gress of the allies in 1899, was com pletely
! overcast by the battle of Marengo The
continental territories were not restored tc
the legitimate sovereign until the overthrow
of Bona parte in 1914.
The island Of Sardinia is unknown in his
tory until the time of its occupancy by the
3 Carthagenians, who doubtless confined them
selves to few maritime stations, from which
they were expelled by the Romans in the
first Punic war. The Romans, after estab
fishing themselves here two centuries before
= the Christian era, continued in possession o
v the island until the decline Of the empire. !!
y was afterwards invaded by the Saracens.-
The sovereignty of the island acquired
y by the king of Arragon, and retained by tn
: crown of Spain until the 18th century. II
: 1919 it given to the duke of Savoy. /!
= 1894, the inhabitants of Cagliari encourage
!" by the progress of the French revolution
rose in Instruction. and caused the Pied
G montese vlceroy, with all the individuals {
O his country, to be sent out of the island
s. The other towns followed the example; an
/. the result was, that after two years of cor
h ten,ion, the king granted general pardon
o declared that the cortes or representative bt
dy, should assemble at least once in ten year
|, and confirmed all the ancient laws, custom
q and privileges of the inhabitants.

THE PAWN BROKER,

Visiting the Pawn Brokers' shop in Chat

al ticles left by an unfortunate friend, the fol-
lowing circumstance arrested my attention.
A middle aged man, entered with bundle,
on which he asked small advance, and

a shawl and two or three other articles of
female apparel. The man was stou: and
sturdy, and as judged from his appearance.

AN AMERICAN BANK IN ENGLAND.

PANTHEON.

Pantheon, celebrated temple OF Rome,
built by Agrippa in the rel On Of Augustus,
and dedicated to all the Gods. 1t was struck
by lightning some time after, and partly de-
stroyed. Adrian repaired it, and 1t stll re-
mains a Rome, converted into a christian
temple, the admiration OF the curious. The
Pantheon is supposed by many anti1uarians
to be a republican architecture, and of course
more ancient than the portico which, 90 its
inscription imports, was erected by Agrippa
about so years before the Christian era. Bat
whether the temple was bull. at the SAGE
time or perhaps one hundred years before its
portico, is a matter of little consequence. as
it is in the whole the most ancient editloe
| that now remains IN a state OF tull and most
perfect preservation. The square OF the
Pantheon. Piazza della Rotonda, is adorned
with a fountain, and obellsk, and terminated
by the por,ico of Agrippa. This noble CO.
ionnade consists of double range of CORN
THAN pillars of red granite. Between the
middle columns, which are a little further re-
moved from each other .han the others, i
passage opens to the brazed portals, which
as they unfold, expose to view circular hall
of immense extent, crowned with lofty
dome, and lighted solely from above. 1t Is
paved and lined with marble. Its cornice O
white marble is supported by sixteen columns
and as many pilasters of Gialloantico; in the
circumference there are eight inches, and be
, tween these inches are eight affairs adorned
each with two pillars of Cerssige but OF The

Mr. Forsyth, the U. s. Secretary Of State, has
been here, where the Governor and Council are in
session. While in Portland last week he had con-
terence with Gov. Fairfield, Mr. Williams, Gov.
Kent Col. Davies, and others, who met him there
on his invitation, and submitted TO them the PROPOSE

it, and they regarded IL only as calculated il not de

What action the Governor and Council may take

request BY making counter proposition, such as
they thought Maine p0ndagree TO.
