MUNIFICENCE OF THE KING OF NAPLES.
By information from Italy, we learn that the petition of Dr. Mitchell, to his majesty the King of the two Sicilies, has been granted. The request was, that his majesty Ferdinand the Fourth would grant the petitioner a copy of that superb work on the antiquities of Herculaneum and Pompeii, which has been published under the patronage of that sovereign, and at his expence.-- The petition having been forwarded to Palermo before the king returned to Naples, was immediately complied with, and the books, ordered to be forwarded to New-York.-It is to the polite attention and influence of Messrs. Rosier and Roulet, merchants in this city, that this attempt to obtain a copy of that curious, valuable and classical work, for the benefit of the American literati, is indebted for its success. Through their friendship, and the bounty of his Sicilian majesty, we may soon expect that this rare and voluminous publication will arrive, and be added to our literary stock.
