Die Ritter Academie, &c. resiau Noble Academy at Vienna by Professor Bommer. This account ap peared, for the first time, in the Patriotic Papers of 1813. The course of Instruction in this Academy is entrusted to forty-two Monks of the regular schools; and the number of scholars is about two hundred and forty; of which one hundred are sons of nobility, or of noble descent, who pay five hundred florius, yearly, and furnish themselves in all respects, at their own cost, besides paying music masters, fencing masters, riding masters, &c. The other scholars pay nearly two hundred florins, yearly, and the deficit in their payments is made up by the Government.

M. de Schreibers, Director of the Cabinet of Natural History at Vieuna, has sent to the Academy two specimens of the Proteus Anguinus; and the Cabinet of Mineralogy has been euriched with a col lection of minerals, transmitted by the department of Mines.

BAVARIA.

The Memoirs of the Royal Academy of Sciences at Munich, for the years 1811, 1812, published in 1813, contain an account of considerable augmentations and improvements, which have been established in favour of that institution.

The department of Natural History has received great accessions of books on the subject; with many articles also of Natural History, selected from the collections of the Chevalier Cobres, at Augsburgh, and purchased by the Prince Royal of Bavaria, for 12,000 florins. The number of books is about 2000 rare and valuable; the number of preserved subjects, &c, is 530.

The central library has been augmented by the incorporation of that of St. Emeran, at Ratisbon, and sundry others.

In a recent publication intitled Examen des principes les plus favorable aux progrès de Agriculture, &c. the author seems to us, to have gone somewhat out of his way, to present a picture of the State of France, as it was, with respect to parties, a few months back. It is understood to be a fair account.

Says our author, "It is unhappily true, that there exists in France, three parties very distinct, and marked. The first is that of the extravagant Partizans of the Ancient Regime these, recollecting with grief the loss of their privileges, and the destruction of the former commanding bodies of the State, cannot support the notion of any change whatever in the government, though merely as a modification. The Constitutional Charter which destroy ed their dearest hopes, is the object of their dislike. Their attachment to the King cannot be doubted, and therefore, there in
