and I hope very soon to see him at Eg ' ma myself , when I shall act as your functionary in my character of citizen of Geneva . Our little collection of antique relics becomes every day more interesting ; and if we were to spend all that is required in excavating , it would be much more so ; but I am in no hurry about it ,
for I hope we shall have no more travellers come to steal them from us . Egitia is no longer the seat of government , but it it * the centre of all our establishments for public instruction . Besides the Orphanotrophe , ( asylum for orphans , ) where 500 youug persons are receiving their education , there are two normal schools , the one on the plan of mutual instruction , the other for instruction in the ancient Greek language , philology , the elements of the exact sciences , drawing , music , &c . This second school is called after Mr . Eyuard , because it was built and established at
his expense . A spacious and noble printing-office is always at work , preparing useful works in the Greek
language . The money which was remitted to me recently by the committee at Geneva has been appropriated to the payment of M . Didot for a great part of what this printing establishment had cost us , as you will have the kindness to inform M . Favre , M . Munier , &c .
The different schools of Egitia , including the orphan school , contain more thau 1500 pupils , and their progress is very satisfactory . In all the provinces great activity prevails in the course of education . All of them contain one or two schools of mutual instruction , and they give us a total of above 10 , 000 scholars . In a short time all will be

examination of this year , the pupils distinguished themselves beyond all expectation . A seminary has beeu lately instituted in the magnificent convent at Poros . It requires a close and diligent attention , which 1 hope to be able to bestow upon it myself .
Lastly , thanks once more to the bounty of M . Eyuard , a model farm is established at Tyrinthe . M . Pal ^ ologue , who has been trained in the institution of M . Do in bale , presides over it , and has already sixty pupils , of whom he hopes to make good practical agriculturalists . Nauplia begins to rise out of its ruins , and wears every day more and more the

French Catholics . The French papers mention the opening of ' * a French Catholic Church " in the street Souricie-re St . Honore" ; the priests of which propose to celebrate the Mass in the national language . They will also exercise all the functions of the ministry without receiving any
stipulated pajment . Each worshiper will contribute what he pleases . In several districts of France measures have already been taken for establishing this new church , " and the pastors have already been chosen . It also appears that the doctrines which the professors adopt deny any impediments to marriage , excepting those which are indicated by the Civil Code .
