Livy.-Professor Goeller, of Cologne, has discovered in the royal library at Bamberg, a MS. of Livy. Ancient Manuscript.-Baron Niebuhr, Prussian Ambassador to the Holy See, has again discovered and published several manuscript works hitherto unknown. They are chiefly fragments, of Cicero's Orations, Pro M. Fonteio and Pro C. Rabirio; a fragment of the 91st book of Livy; and two works of Seneca. He has dedicated the publication to the Pope, by whose favor he was enabled to discover these literary treasures in the Vatican. The indefatigable Signior Angelo Maio has added an unfading sprig to his literary laurels, by discovering the longlost treatise of Cicero De Republica, in the library of the Vatican. To enable our readers to estimate the good fortune of this gentleman, we must tell them, that, so early as his day, Petrarch complains of having been unable to find it in the library of the Popes, at Avignon; that Cardinal Bessarion expended no less than a thousand gold crowns in fruitless researches after it, and that Cardinal Polo did not hesitate to sacrifice double that sum, but in vain. At length, however, it has been brought to light, after ages of obscurity; and will afford an opportunity of comparing the sentiments of Cicero and of Plato, with those of the moderns, our Bacons, our Lockes, &c. on that most difficult science-the science of good government.
