correspondence between the classification OF OBJ

served for the advantageous display of works of

be adorned by statucs fountains, and other objects
calculated to crafty the eye, but within each COM

Alcalde grants, has created considerable excite
persons taking advantage Of that decision, have

tial Gdhgnani, which inserted an extract from it,
was waylaid. Public curiosity was of course ex-
cited, and means were used TO get the obectiona-
BILE Galignani from Leghorn Florence, and an
importance was given to the communication which
otherwise il would not have deserved. The proba-
bity of an abdcation, which formed the main
topic of that correspondence, was advanced by the
pains taken to arrest the paper; and, the official
Gazette has not contradicted the report, we are
looking with much anxiety for the month of June,
when this important act, it is said is TO be carried
into effect. Il only say, for my own part, that
am acting with perfect good faith, and that my
