A profpectus of two periodical works has been iffued at New York, the first

Such an account will be given of every article as will render it easily understood, and, in fuch a manner as to bring into a fmall compafs the most valuable ideas and interesting facts, in every depart ment of science and the belles-lettres, and to make known to the people of the United States the productions of men of genius and talents in Europe. As a fuitable introduction to this work, the Editor proposes to give a Catalogue raifonné, of Greek, Latin, Englifb, French, Spanish, and Italian books, selected from the best bibliographical and periodical works that have appeared in France, and which will present a brief retrofpect of the literature and fcience of paft years. A good catalogue of books in foreign languages is much wanted by men of letters in America, many of whom are unable to make a proper felection from a want of a fuitable means to

guide their choice. The Editor has fpared no pains in making a collection, with a particular view to the United States; and he indulges the hope, that the profeffors of univerfities, colleges, and academies, the members of learned focieties, and the lovers of literature and the arts, in general, will find in the numbers of the Continent of Europe, or the Paris Correfpondent, much useful bibliographical intelligence, and valuable information in all the various branches of human knowledge, and that they will honour the prefent undertaking with their patronage and fupport. The first work will be printed in English, and published every month, by Ifaac Riley Co. of New York. Each number will contain at least 48 pages 8vo. price 50 cents. The materials neceffary to commence and carry on the work are already provided, and will in future be regularly furnished by H. Caritat from Paris. The publication will commence as foon as a fufficient number of fubfcribers are obtained to defray the expenfes of the undertaking- -The fecond work, entitled L'Amerique du Nord, ou Le Correfpondent des Etats Unis, is defigned to exhibit to the inhabitants of Europe an account' of all the publications, productions, difcoveries, and improvements, in the United States. It will contain the various articles in all the branches of literature and fcience, arranged under proper heads, with an analytical account of the fame, in the manner proposed as to the first part. The prices of goods, publick stocks, and other

The univerfal and heartfelt tribute of respect which has been paid to the memory of the late lamented Lord Nelfon, has communicated its influence to the painters and poets; and many, very ma ny, have, ever fince we had the advice of his death, been exerting all their powers to perpetuate his praise and immortalize his fame. They began with mixing marks of their regret with the illuminations for his brilliant victory, in which he blazing windows bore testi mony to the feelings of the inhabitants, "In words that blaze, and thoughts that burn."

It must be acknowledged, however, that fome of the inferiptions were more fimilar to readings in Westminster-Abbey, than to the tranfparencies of a rejoicing-night.

The Honourable Mrs. Damer has prefented to the Corporation of the City of London a marble Bust of Lord Nelion, which is to be placed on an elegant mar ble pedestal, and depofited in the Coun cil-Chamber at Guildhall

In about a mouth's time Meffrs. Boy dells will publish a portrait of Lord Nel fon, which is now engraving by Earlom, from a picture pained by Sir William Beechey, and prefented to the Corporas tion of the City of London by the late Alderman Boydell.

We law this picture foon after it was finished, and thought it one of the finest that Sir William Ecechey ever painted.➡ trait, marked with mond and appropriate It is a moft fpirited and animated por character, but not painted to be viewed upwards of twenty feet above the eye, and at that height we were very much mortified to fee it exhibited in the Council-Chamber at Guildhall, where it is placed immediately over the leat of the Lord Mayor. But juftice to the its removal to a fituation nearer the eye; memory of our lamented Hero demands for here the whole portrait appears of one toue of colour, and the honourable fcar in the Admiral's forehead,which was a remarkable mark, is entirely loft. The portrait of Lord Rodney, which is fo painted that it would admit of being placed at a greater height, is about twelve feet from the eye. The fituation of the two portraits might be changed, and Lord Nelfon put in the place now appropriated to Lord Rodney, and vice verfa.--Lond. Month. Retroffect.

Advices recently received from Naples contain further details relative to the un rolling of the manufcripts difcovered at Herculaneum. Eleven perfons are at prefent employed in unrolling and copy. ing. The manufcripts hitherto infpects ed amount to about 140, eight of which have already been interpreted and tranfmitted to the minifter Seratti, that they may be examined by the Academy, and ordered to be printed. These manulcripts are, fix of Epicurus, entitled, lig

lodemus ; its title is, wigi tās Ogine, On Anger. The eighth wants both the title and name of the author. It treats of nature and the worship of the gods. The next four are almoft entirely explained; but they have not yet been tranfmitted, because Mr. Hayter and the Abbé Foti, of the order of St. Bafil, joint ly are to fuperintend their publication

:

The Abbé Foti has first to collate the copies with the originals, to fupply what is neceffary, and to tranflate. Mr.Hayter collates after him, alters what he thinks proper in the fupplements and tranflations, and delivers the copy to M. Foti,to be again tranfcribed. The delay ocea froned by Mr. Hayter in his labours, is the reafon why thefe manufcripts have not yet been fent ether to the Academy or the Minifter. Their titles are as follow one on logiek, entitled On the Strength of Arguments drawn from Analogy-Up Kxx τῶν αντιχεμηνῶν Agra, Treatife on Vices and the contrary Virtues, On Death. Thefe the works are by Philodemus. The author of the fourth is Poliftratus: FI: Περί αλογα κατά αρνησιάς ο δε επιγραχατι προς της αλογος κατά βρα TOVILLING ᎢᏯ EV TON TRIANG Bike You vay, On unreasonable Contempt; that is, of those who despise mjaftly what others commend —This manufirist is the least damaged, and many paffages of it are abfolutely untouch ed The other papyri are in a great part by Philodemus; they treat of rhetorick, of poetry, and of morality. The publication of these manuscripts cannot take place with all the expedition that could be wished, as the originals are to be engraved before they are presented to the publick. This procels requires much time and money, and the want of the latter will confiderably retard the publication. M. Rofini, bishop of Puzzuoli, to whom the publick is indebted for the fragment of Philodemus on Mufick, is the perfon appointed by the Court of Naples to fuperintend the engraving and the publication of these manuferipts.

A diftinguished man of fcience at Naples has publifhed an account of a vifit he paid to Pompeii fince the late refearches ordered by the Queen of Naples. The principal particulars of his fatement are as follow:-"In a fearch begun about seven years ago was difcovered the capital of a pilafter, which was fufpected to be the fateral front of a grand portico. Laft winter the works were refumed at that place, and the correfponding pilafter was found. The brafs hinges of the door have been removed to the Museum of Portici. The habitation into which it leads is large and commodious, and richly ornamented with paintings and mosaic-work. The building is formed of fquare ftones, fo mcely fitted and cemented, that the whole would be taken for a single mafs,

The paffage which ferves for entrance is twelve patins long, and ten wide. It leads to a court, the walls of which are covered with stucco of various colours.-The capitals and cornices are in good preservation; and I there obfefved a rofe, which is a master-piece both of defign and execution. All the apartments are decorated with beautiful paintings on a red, blue, and yellow ground. You there fee likewife detached columns, with flowers, candelabras, and ornaments, in the best flyle. To the left are two apart ments, which were probably thofe of the master and miftrefs. The painter gave a free fcope to his imagination in all the pictures, which I beheld with inexpreffible delight. Nothing can be more pleasing, among others, than a dance of perfons in masks; and nothing more graceful than a little bird pecking at a baiket of figs. In the centre of the court is a ciftern, the impluvium of the Romans. On a marble pedestal is a young Hercules feated on a hind of bronze. Thefe two pieces, one of which weighs about twenty pounds, and the other forty, are of the most finished workmanship. The water fell from the mouth of the hind into a beautiful couch of Grecian marble. Behind the pedestal was a table, the yellow feet of which reprefent the claws of an eagle-These perfect works have likewife been conveyed to the Museum. A lateral corridor on the right leads to a fecond court, which was furrounded by piazzas, as is proved by the octagonal columns covered with ftucco. In one of the apartments are obferved two Bacchantes holding thyrfi.-Above the window, to the right, is a painting of Europa, of great beauty; fhe is quite naked, and is feated on the bull, which is plunging into the fea. Beneath is a young man carrying a basket of fruits : he is raising himfelf on tiptoe; and this attitude rew quired of the artist a strongly marked expreffion of the mufcular fyftem. On the oppofite fide a beautiful female dan cer excites admiration fhe is holding and ftriking two cymbals; her veil, which floats behind her, produces a very fine effect. On proceeding into the ad joining hall, the first thing that ftruck me was a magnificent pavement of the moft precious African marbles. The ceiling represents Venus between Mars and Cupid. In this hall were found a fmall idol of bronze, a gold vafe weighing three ounces, a gold coin, and twelve
