French Museum. Paris, April 20.—The museum of paintings and antiquities newly opened, has become again a great place of resort and enjoyment to the Parisians, as well as to strangers visiting the city. Master-peices of art, of the Italian, French, and Flemish schools, were scattered through different casties of the kingdom. They have now been collected and fill up with those left by the allies and others lately bought by the king from foreign princes, that wide chasm which was made by the allies, when they carried off so large a number of pieces of art, either to themselves or to the pope and Italian prin are 13 paintings of Raphael, 9 of L. de Vinci, 2007 Titian, 10 of Corregio, 6 of Tintoret, 10 of P. Vere nese, 28 of the Caraccis, 6 of Julio Romano, 23 st Guido, 14 of Dominichino, 17 of Albano, &c. again 17 of Vandyke, 41 of Rubens, 15 of Rembrandt, 6 of H bein, and many others by German masters, besides the whole addition of the French school itself, viz. the Poussin's, the Lesnuir's, the Lebrun's, the Ve net's, &c.-without this collection of paintings, the 16 saloons of antique statues, distinguish them. selves by the brilliant display of 350 antique sta tues, busts, bas reliefs, tombs and monuments of antiquity. This last collection was, as every one knows, the invaluable property of the prince of Borghese, purchased by Bonaparte for the very same museum, which always was and yet is its chief ornament: consisting of the Gladiator, Jason, the old Matra, several Muses, the Centaur, Minerva, Hercules, Marsais, Hermaphrodite, &c. But before the Italian mas. ter pieces were carried as a booty to Paris, France possessed in the royal palaces and garden celebrat ed pieces of antiques statnes; for example, the exquisite majestic statue of Diana, of Fountainblean. And she now occupies the place where her divine brother Apollo of Belvidere formerly stood, and it is asserted that she was made by the same Grecian artist Praxiteles, and like him she attracts every eye the same way as he formerly did. Our museum was, and after all is, the first museum of Europe. We shall have yet a considerable addition of statues and busts of kings, ministers, and sages, in what is to be called the "Musee Fruncoise," preserved for the last twenty four years by that name in the ancient monastry called the Petit Augustines, which objects were saved at the time of vandalism and devastation in France, out of the churches and abbeys, and brought thither, which very valuable and memorable collection, will occupy some more saloons of the museum. A cancer cured. From the Middlesex, (Mass.) Gazette Dracut, April 9. SIR-Considering it a duty incumbent on each individual of society, to do all in his power to promote the health, prosperity and happiness of all his fel low citizens, I will state to you the commencement, progress and cure of a most distressing disease, which has occurred in my own family. If you think it worthy of a place in your paper, I have no objec tion to its being made public; and will afford me great consolation to learn, that the application which wrought the cure, has had the same efficacious ope ration upon others in similar circumstances. About seven years since, my wife was seized with a cancer on her ankle, which increased with considerable rapidity, and was attended with pain; it cantinued sorely to affect her for nine months, during which time no pains were spared to obtain the best advice from those well versed in medicine and surgery. It was twice attempted to eradicate it by the application of vegetable caustics; and many other applications were unsuccessfully made. The limb became weak, and at times, much swollen. She had in a measure lost her appetite; and her whole system seemed on the decline. The sore was deep and The Museum contains at present, if not quite the broad.
