LITERARY DIsCovERY.-The Chevalier de
Chatelain, the talented translator Of Chaucer's
Canterbury Tales" has inst found the solution
OF the enigma prOpounded by Chaucer. and
which has puzzled 50 many generations OF
Commentators; namely, the source Of the
'Squyres Tale" which Milton regretted so
much had been LEFT ''untold'' by the father of
Engsish poetry. 1t was necessary to be CON-
"ersaDt with the literature of both countries to
Lit upon this discovery. Now our great poets,
such as Milton, Dryden, Spenser, and vther
eminent scholars, were but little versed in
French medieval literature, written in Ian
giagc completely obsolete; while French
scholars knew Caucer by name only, before
the Chevalier's translation made its appear
anre. The original author of the 'Squyre's
Tale" was Adenes lie Roy 1.-THE king of the
minstrcls) and the poem alluded to entitled
''QeomadeS." numbers $4,000 octnsyllabic
verses, reduced in the Chevalier's modern YER
sion to the more reasonable proportions OF
1000 lines. This work will be published in
. few months. .
