A domeftic concern, in which the na- 
tion takes the moit lively intereft, dif- 
tinguifhes this month; we allude to an 
entire reconciliation hetween his Majefty 
and the Prince of Wales. There is much 
f{peculation” on the queftion, how far po- 
litical arrangements are dependent on this; 
but, at prefent, there is little known to 
the public, on which to reft an opinion.

came from Scotland exprefsly to-proteé

Tt is with unmingled pleafure that 
We notice the fuccets of the Prince of 
Wales’ anxiety for the intereft of letters, 
in the recovering the concents of the pa- 
pirz found in the ruins of -Herculaneum 
and Pompeit. Six volumes prefented by 
the King-of Naples to the Prince; are 
lately arrived in London. The bufinefs 
of unroliing and tranfcribing the papiri, 
has been exceedingly difficult and tedious. 
The patronage given to this important 
labour by the Prince, has greatly faci. 
litated the vork. In forty-fix years, not 
more than eighteen rolls were developed, 
before the interference of his Royal High- 
nefs. Under his aufpices, ninety have 
been recovéred in two years, in Italy. 
Here the tafk will proceed much more 
rapidly, aided, as it will be, by the ta- 
Jents, the learning, and the arts of this 
country.
