Mr.. A. VATTENARE, the celebrated protector and
interchangeable prosecutor of the benefcent scheme
of International Literary Exchanges, has returned
to this city, after an absence Of year or more,
during which time he has been necessarily engaged,
in New York and elsewhere, in extending and de-
veloping his philanthropc work; that is, in for
warding to Paris the great collections of books &c.
which he had gathered in this country, and receiv-
ing in return, and distributing, the treasures of
French, Literature, Science, and Art which have
been transmitted to him in exchange. In addition
to the large collection Of works in literature and the
fine arts which Mr.. V. brought with him and dis
trbuted here on his previous visit, he has now ar
rived with rich and varied mass of valuable works
in almost all departments of useful knowledge sta
tstics, political economy, natural history, science
&C., and a great number of beautiful engravings,
&c. which he has received from France. and
are destined for the Government Libraries, the
Corporation of Washington, DC. This collection
is at present deposited in the south basement Of
the CAPITOL where it has been partly opened by
the enthusiastic and untiring philanthropist and
may be seen and no idea seems to have access to
his mind but the complete realization of his unique
and beautiful conception, to which he devotes all
his time and great deal of his fortune. !.

on Saturday last, says:
"We have received intelligence from Havana as
