time , is the discovery of an ancient library at Gfagati . In the course of the last year , a religious society was dissoived in that city , and its collection of books atui matmscripts transferred to Breslau ^ by order of the king of Prussia . Professor Scbni ^ ar is employed in
examining and arranging these treasures . It appears that the manuscripts are in number about 5 OO ; 300 of which are decretals , papal bulls , and directions for ceremonial observances ; of the rest Go are classical , but all Latin , Amongst the latter is a manuscript of Cicero , which though of no very ancient da 1 « ( perhaps no earlier than the 12 th .
century ) has evidently been transcribed from an original much more perfect than any hitherto known to be in existence . Of this only the treatise De Nqfura Deorum has at present been collated by Professor Heiddemas , of E ^ eslau , for the use of his pupils . The readings which it exhibits are excellent , aed the lacuna are all supplied . A nev edition of Cicero ' s works is in
contemplation , of which this valuable manuscript will be the basis . M&rning Chronicle * Feb . 4 , 1814 .

Character of Counsellor O ^ ConnelL Counsellor O'Connell is one of the leading advisers and orators of tire Catholics oflreland . In these cliar&cters ^ he encounters , of course ,
a tide of obloquy ; but he is rewarded by the gratitude of his fMitog country . The Catholic Eoi ^ rcJ h ave agreed to present him vmhJi a service of piate at the vnlue of One Thousand Guineas :
the following is the speech of Counsellor Finlay ( another distinguished individual in that ^ nation of orators / ' ) on the motion fdr making the munificent present to / QTonnell !

deferred-^ Eminent and prominent m these three relations of patriot , Irishman , and 1 iwyer , history will describe Daniel O Connell ; spotless in the relations of piivate life , matchless in the duties of private friendship , beloved by evcrf man who knows him , esteemed by all
who have not a prejudice or an interest in disliking him , with manners that instantly disarm hostility , there ne ^ er yet was a man introduced to him . iot the first time , under prepossessions to his disadvantage , that did not feel his dislike hastily evaporating , and depart from , the conference a eonvert tot
esteem . At five in the morning , you will find him in his study ; at five in the evening you will probably find him still labouring in the public service : if you cannot find him thus era ployed , you may be almost certain of finding him at home . I never knew a man of
