Letter from Venice, 2d of Agi OO. 
The eleétion of the Pope, and opening! of 
the campaign, give new life to’ Etaljan:ti- 
terature. ‘To the latter fubject relate the 
beautiful prints on the behaviour of the 
Aretines towards the French, publithed - 
by Bardi; and the Storta politico- militaire 
dell’ attual guerra contro la Francia, by’ 
an Officer of Engineers in the Imperial 
fervice. Wot on military tranfaétions, but 
on politics area Speccoio della Democrazia 
Francefe.—Il Saint Fulien, ofia Memorie 
di un Emivrato della Francia ;—Le ricchefe 
dell” Itaha paffate in Francia, publithed 
at Venice by Zatta, and moftly copied 
from Mallet du. Pan;—ZLa democrazia 
efaminata ne fuot abufi—Rendi conto Pa- 
rigi;—and likewile L” abolixione dei Gé- 
fuiti, confiderait come una delle caufe prin- 
cipali della Rivoluzioue Francefe. Whe- 
ther the laft-mentioned work had any in- 
fluence on the mind of Pius VII. we 
know not; it is, however, remarked, 
that he has re-appointed and promoted 
many Ex-jefuits.. Even the fecretary’ of 
ftate for Latin correfpondence belonged 
once to that order. To the EleGion of the 
Pope the following works of edification re- 
late, as for inftance— Il quadro del Cuore 
umano ;—and likewile twe diflertations by 
Dr. Marchettiof Lucca: Sullepropricta 
det beni ecclefiajtict, on which fubject he has, 
entered into a controverfy with another 
canonitt, Bolgeni,—and, Del daxaro 
firantero che viene a Roma e che ne va per 
caufe ecclefiaftiche.—The Vita e fafti del 
Semmo Pontefice Ramano Pio VI. is 
pretty well written: another Life of that 
Pope, with 12 plates, is in the prefs. The 
controverfy about the commencement. of 
the new century has put likewife one 
Italian pen in motion. ~The advocate 
David, of Venice, wrote Axalifi 
full opinione cronologica circa il termine de 
fecolo 18 ed il principio del 19 fecolo. He 
votes for 1801, and fays, fu fiupore ta 
enter into a war of words about it. In
