All accounts agree in stating, that each nest contains only one young squab. These are so extremely fat, that the Indians, and many of the whites, are accustomed to melt down the fat for domestic purposes, as a substitute for butter and lard. At the time they leave their nest, they are nearly as heavy as the old ones, but become much leaner after they are turned out to shift for themselves. the first part of the monuments of the | IV.

I have general reader, that the Literary Gazette taken from the crop of a single Wild Pigeon, a good handful of the kernel of beech nuts, intermixed with acorns and chesnuts. To form a rough estimate of the daily consumption of one of these immense flocks, let us first attempt to calculate the numbers of that above mentioned as seen in passing between Frankfort and the Indiana territory. If we suppose this column to have been one inile in breadth (and I believe it to have been much more,) and that it moved at the rate of one mile in a minute; four hours, the time it continued passing, would make its whole length two hundred and forty miles. Again, supposing that each square yard of this moving body comprehended three Pigeons; the square yard in the whole space multiplied by three, would give two thousand two hundred and thirty millions, two hundred and seventy-two thousand Pigeons! An almost inconceivable multitude, and yet probably far below the actual amount. Computing each of these to consume half a pint of mast daily, the whole quantity at this rate would equal seventeen millions four hundred and twentyfour thousand bushels per day! Heaven has wisely and graciously given to these birds rapidity of flight, and a disposition to range over vast uncultivated tracts of the earth; otherwise, they must have perished in the districts where they resided, or devoured up the whole productions of agriculture as well as those of the forests. ANALYSIS OF THE JOURNAL DES SAVANS, I. Collection of the Historians of the Gauls be dispensed from entering into a particular analysis of the very able critique of M. Dannou on the 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th volumes, published by M. Brial, particularly of the last. We shall, therefore, only say, that he declares, that far from having lost any of its claims to the esteem of the learned world, the work has rather acquired new titles to the approbation of enlightened men. We may observe, that from the intimate connection between France and England, these volumes contain important documents relative to the history of our own country, particularly letters of our Kings, and other distinguished characters, such as Henry II. and St. Thomas of Canterbury, &c. II. Walpole's Memoirs relative to European and Asiatic Turkey. Romances. By Ch. B. Depping. We cannot form a just idea of the merit of Spanish literature, without having appreciated those ancient romances, which are celebrated not only on account of the historical traditions which they have consecrated, but also of the noble, simple, and affecting character which distinguishes them. Among the ancient Spaniards, the romance was a short and popular song, which, according to the occasion and the object, had the elevated style of the ode, the plaintive accents of the elegy, or the unaffected grace and the simplicity of the eclogue. Art never appears in these mo numents of ancient times: an easy and simple style expresses with truth the facts which the poets relate without affectation, and inspires the sentiments which they feel. These romances have the precious advantage of adapting themselves to all times and all affections, and we find in them a variety, inexhaustible as nature which dietated them. Yet the books which contain them are not often met with. The "Romancero general," which is the most important collection, is very scarce and very dear. It has long been wished that a man of letters, equal to the task, might employ his talents in making a selection of the principal romances; in classing them in such a manner, as to place those together which belong to the same species; in adding some explanations, whether historical or literary: and above all, some grammatical notes, of which they are sometimes in need, on account of the variation of the language. M. Depping has fulfilled this wish, with the exception of the grammatical notes, which did not enter into his plan. The selection which he now presents to us, is not only made with taste, but is the most considerable that has been published out of Spain; and though it has appeared in Germany, and in the absence of the editor, the text is generally correct. a The edition is divided into four parts, with preface in the German language. The first division contains 1941 historical romances, relative to history; from the siege of Numantia to the fall of the Goths, and the expulsion of the Moors. The second contains Having ourselves given, in several Num- forty-nine romances on subjects of chivalry: bers, an account of this valuable work, we the third fifty-five Moorish romances; and have no occasion to enter into the critique the fourth, forty-six mixed romances, inof M.

They will find scarcely any thing to desire, except a little more order in the arrangement of the materials. It is indeed to be regretted, that the different pieces have not been placed methodically, in a geographical order, that all those relating to the same country might be found together; we recommend it to the editor to attend to this in a subsequent edition."

[Translated from a Letter addressed to the Editor of the Moniteur.] Having recently received from Stockholm and Christiana some literary intelligence concerning Sweden and Norway, I do my self the honour to enclose it, and beg that you will have the goodness to give it a place In your useful Journal. Some time ago the Academy of Sciences at Stockholm, employed M. Nilson of the University of Lund, who is the author of several valuable works, to perform a tour along the coast of Norway, with instructions to make Ornithology his principal object. M. Nilson has lately communicated to the Academy an account of this voyage, in which he has made a great number of interesting observations, and even discoveries. The Academy has also contributed its aid towards the expense of a minerographic and geodesic tour in Sweden, and for the continuation of the meteorologic observations in Lapland. The funds which the Academy has obtained through the munificence of several enlightened patriots, have lately been augmented by a considerable donation from M. Dalberg, one of our Members, and Counsellor of the Department of the BACHELORS OF ARTS.-Mr. Robert Everest, Mines.

Icelandic literature has, within these few years, obtained great attention in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, as well as in England and Germany. M. Brunnius, another member of the University of Lund, has discovered a great number of inscriptions cut in rocks, which appear to be of a very high antiquity. Letters from Sweden state that they are a kind of hieroglyphics. This discovery is to form the subject of a work which M. Brunnius has already commence l.

Garnier, the historical painter, delivered a report on the works sent to Paris by the students of the French Academy at Rome. The Larkins remained fast to some ice from the 13th to the 18th of August. Captain Muirhead observed a great deal of water to the N.W., and conceived, when the wind came off the land, that it would make a clearance for the Discovery Ships to get much farther to the Northward, par-decessor Sir Joshua Reynolds, pursues the ticularly as the ice was then breaking up practice of doing his best on whatever he is employed; yet there are subjects, as well as times, when the efforts are so happily exerted, that of such works it may truly be said, they were done con amore. fast. The weather was getting much clearer, from the frost taking place in the night. Captain Muirhead appears very sanguine as to the ships succeeding, not only from what he has stated, but from observations which he made last year, when he got as far as 76. 15. N. and where he had a very heavy sea from the Northward, depending, in his opinion, on a large tract of water being in that direction. At that time (1st August 1817) he could not see any ice, nor did he find any until he got back to 75. 30. N. Captain Muirhead found in lat. 76. N. eight points westerly variation. The Officers and men were quite well when the Larkins last communicated with them. The Portrait of Sir William Grant is a whole-length: he is seated, and in the robes of office, which are well calculated for the purposes of art, as the black figured silk is relieved by the gold lacings, which descend from the top to the bottom, and break the monotony which might otherwise prevail in so large a mass of black. The attitude is most happily suited: the right leg is crossed over the left, and the right hand holds a paper, while the left rests upon the elbow of the chair. The hands, as well as all the parts, are beautifully painted, and might well deserve a, separate notice; but nothing can draw our attention from the head: sedate and con These Two historical notices were read by M.
