The English negotiators, however, are not infrequently obliged, in order to make themselves understood, to employ a few French phrases, which they take sufficient care to mangle and distort. M. de Stein, and some other diplomatists, insist that the treaties, when perfect, shall be rendered into Latin, or, at the same time, (that of confirmation) into all the languages of the parties to the agreement. It is wel Casselche Chronik, &c.-The Chronicle of the city of Cassel, or of the events which took place in that city from the 28th of September 1813 to the 21st of November; of the same year: by Ant.

We merely mention this work, as it contains materials towards a complete his tory of late events on the Continent, in which the city of Cassel from its situation had considerable concern; and changed its government more than once. FRANCE. Literary labours.-The literati in Paris have recommenced their labours, and are busily employed in perfecting the Encyclopadia. Volney, who distinguished himself during the time of the Republic, by his Contemplations on the Ruins of Ancient Governments, takes a very active part in this undertaking. The principal objects immediately in view, are to collect whatever remains of the records destroyed by the fire at Alexandria in the time of Julius Cæsar; also such as escaped the conflagration by order of the Caliph Omar, and, if possible, some of those Greek authors, whose works were devoted to oblivion, by Pope Gregory. To these may be added, the prodigious number of volumes defaced by the monks, to make way, by erasure of the original text, for their homilies and compositions. In those ages of barbarism, it has been long supposed the archives of the then world were lost; but it is possible some fragments of ancient history and learning may yet be discovered through the laudable and persevering exertions of our neighbours. FRENCH INFLUENCE ABATING:-THE Report affirms, that among the sovereigns now resident as visitors at Vienna, by a kind of tacit agreement, the French language is not used as the medium of conversation, but German is spoken generally, especially before the members of the French mission; by way of demonstrating the liberation of Germany from the Gallic yoke. German is also the native language of the greater part of the statesmen who are there assembled. Among the French diplomatists the Duke of Dalberg is the only person not embarassed by this convention, because he understands the language of these VOL. I. Lit. Pan. New Series, Dec. 1. by direction of Lord Cornwallis, confirmed, in an original composed in the English language; and that the parties to the Peace of Paris, in 1763, and to that of Aix-LaChapelle, in 1748, thought it worth their while to record their protests against the use of the French language in public documents. Should this notion prevail, and become a principle, a chief cause of the prevalence of French manners, with the misery consequent on them, will be effectually removed. We understand that the French language is no longer adopted in polite society throughout Germany. GERMANY. A work under the title of Abbildumg der Deutschen Holzarten, &c. "The Woods of Germany," in which the delineations are by Guimpel, and the descriptions by Wildenow, has reached the twelfth number of publication. It includes all the woods, of whatever species, which grow naturally from the North Sea and the Baltic, to the Alps, and between the Rhine, and the Vistula. Each species is accompanied by a succinct enumeration of its characters, the name by which it is known in different provinces, its natural place of growth, the soil favourable to its perfection, the time of its flowering, of its seeding, its proper appearance, its age, and the uses to which it may be converted. Each species is also preceded by its nomenclature in Latin and German. The whole number of plates is estimated at one hundred; and they are coloured after nature. We are persuaded that the vegetable riches, or at least the power of producing vegetable riches, of many parts of our own islands, is but little understood, or directed to the best and most valuable purposes. Not seldom are plants placed in such soil as does not suit them, and in such exposure as is unfavourable, if not fatal to them. We therefore distinguish this work, as it may serve for a pattern to a work of the same nature among ourselves. If such a performance could be rendered popular among the proprietors or holders of land, ITALY. there are many small parcels, now little better than waste, from which considerable advantages might be derived, and Sugar and Coffee: Themes for the Muses. even provision made for a family, at a A poet, of sweet song, who signs himself distant day, at a small expence incurred in S.

Leisler, in the second number of his Nachtrage zur Naturgeschichte, Supplements to the Natural History of Germany, has taken occasion to treat on the manner in which the change in the plumage of birds is produced. He has learned from observation, that this is effected in two ways. The first consists in the change experienced by certain birds at two seasons of the year, in the spring, and in the autumn-while, secondly, others change but once a year only, yet nevertheless display a most brilliant plumage,—which, however, is not the consequence of any change of colour, but is produced by a process which gradually detaches from the feather that has been renewed in the au tumn, those greyish, or whitish, or imper It of Pindar, perhaps much its superior, the re-appearance of Sugar and Coffee in the Il Caffé è il Zucchero in Liborno; ditirambo.

Precocious Genius!-Charles Witte, of Lochau, in Germany, the son of Dr. Witte, of Giessen, a lad of 14 years of age, received Oct. 7, the degree of Doctor in Philosophy, and Master of Arts. Herold and Wahlstab, booksellers, in Luneburg, are to publish in a few days a work of his, under the title of "an Introduction to a more perfect understanding of Trigonometry." A work on such a subject, by a Doctor 14 years of age, is certainly one of the most remarkable literary Phenomena of the age. Animal Magnetism continues to have its partizans, in Germany. The Baron de Strombeck has published the history of a young woman who has been cured by this process.--If our readers ask "of what disease?" we answer, it is conjectured, from the sentimental phrases and symbols employed by the patient,-which appear to the uninitiated, to have some connection with the tender passion of a mental disease induced by a peculiar state of the body. Such cases are no phenomena;-and, perhaps, were animal magnetism properly exhibited, it might prove salutary to a certain prophetess, whose condition of body and mind has been lately brought into great notoriety among ourselves. plete Edition of the Classic Writers.
