Embellished with a beautiful North-west View of the CATHEDRAL of ROUEN; Mr. URBAN, June 1. As a companion to thally introdu ced into your Miscellany by your excellent Correspondent Mr. Carter, for which your Readers are much indebted to him, permit me to request you to insert the North-west View of the Cathedral Church of Rouen in Normandy (see the Frontispiece to this Volume), copied from the Print of it in "Some Account of the Alien Priories, and of such Lands as they are known to have possessed in England and Wales * ;" and, as that Work is now become scarce, I request you farther to oblige me by inserting the following account of it from that publication. Your Readers will bear in mind that it was written in 1779. What alterations the late unhappy Revolution may have made, I hope some other Correspondent will have the kindness to inform you. "The Diocese of Rouen is one of the largest and most considerable in the kingdom of France. It is 35 leagues in length, and 20 in width, bounded by the sea on the North side, and within land contiguous to the dioceses of Amiens, Beauvais, Paris, Chartres, Evreux, and Lisieux. In that extent are comprehended the Païs de Caux, de Roumois, de Vexin, and De Bray. The city of Rouen, and towns of Dieppe, Gisors, Caudebec, Havre de Grace, Montivilliers, Fescamp, Andely, Meulan, Pontoise, Magny, Chaumont, Gournay, Lions, Eu, Aumale, Neufchâtel, Arques, Elbeuf, Quillebeuf, and Harfleur; above 60 bourgs, or boroughs; 1388 parishes; six archdeaconries; 30 rural deanries; 10 chapters of canons; 28 abbeys; and above 100 religious houses of both sexes. The archbishop of Rouen is primate of Normandy, earl of Dieppe and Louviers, and lord of Gaillon, Fresne, and Deville; having in those places Haute Justice, i. e. a power to judge and determine all civil and criminal causes (except high treason) arising within the liberty or precincts of these places. He collates to nine dignities in the cathedral of Rouen, and to near 60 canonries as well in that chapter as those of Andely and St. George. He presents or nominates to 120 churches, 40 chapels, and several other benefices, and his annual income is about 50,000 livres. The Bishops of Bayeux, Avranches, Evreux, Seez, Lisieux, and Coutances, are his suffragans. "The See of Rouen owes its foundation to Mellon, a native of Cardiff, in Glamorganshire, who planted Christianity here about the middle of the third cen tury. The first Cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was built by him about A. D. 270; the present by St. Romain about 633, enlarged by Richard I. duke of Normandy, 942; by Archbishop Robert, surnamed the Magnificent, 1030; and finished by Maurile 1055. The nave is in length 210 feet, the choir 110, and Lady chapel 88: total length from East to West 408 feet: the breadth of the nave and ailes 93 feet, and the length from the pavement to the vaulting 94 feet; the transept 164 feet from North to South; the center tower, 152 feet high, rests on four pillars, each 31 feet in circumference, and composed of 31 smaller pillars, and supports a spire 380 feet high, ascended by 500 steps, erected 1514; it has 130 windows, three of them in form of roses or marigolds, and many of them beautifully painted. The archbishop's throne and the stalls are very magnificent, and built 1467. The screen before the choir has two bandsome chapels, that on the right-hand dedicated to our Lady of the Vow by the citizens, in a great plague, about the middle of the 14th century. There are 23 other chapels. The Lady chapel behind the choir was built by the chapter 1302; it is 57 feet high, well lighted, and full of magnificent tombs. * See vol. XLIX. p. 552. GENT. MAG. Suppl. LXXXIV. PART I. A "The "The West porch, with its towers, is 170 feet wide; the three portals loaded with bas-reliefs and niches stript of their statues by the Hugonots 1562: over the middle door was the genealogy of the Virgin. This front, being ruinous, was taken down 1509, and rebuilt by Cardinal d'Amboise, then archbishop. Three of its turrets were blown down in a most violent hail-storm on Midsummer day 1683, which did other damage to this church to a considerable amount. The tour de Beurre, or Butter tower, on the right-hand of the portal, so called from a Papal dispensation, permitting the contributors towards it to use butter and milk meats during Lent, was begun 1485, and finished 1507, near 230 feet high, and contains the great bell called Georges d'Amboise, cast 1501, 13 feet high, and weighing 400 pounds. The corresponding tower of St. Romain was built as at present about 1470, and contains eight bells and a large one. Before the West front is an inclosure nearly square, called the porch or court of our Lady, with a fountain. The two transepts have also rich porches with two towers. One of these is called the Bookseller's Porch, because their shops were formerly in it. The other, Portail de la Calende. "The chapter consists of the archbishop, dean, chanter, treasurer, six archdeacons, a chancellor, and 50 ca nons. "In the middle of the choir is the tomb of Charles V. of France, 1380, with his figure holding in his hand his heart, which is buried here: on the side of the high altar, the figure of Richard I. king of England, whose heart was also buried bere; and opposite to him Henry, son of Henry II. king of England; William, his uncle, son of Geoffrey Plantagenet and the empress Matilda John, duke of Bedford, regent of France 1435. In the Lady chapel are monuments of the two Cardinals d'Amboise, uncle and nephew; Louis de Breze, grand seneschal of Normandy, and his wife Diana de Poitiers, who had been mistress of Henry IV. Cardinal Deschamps, bishop of Coutances, 1413; Archbishops Maurile 1067, Cardinal Estoteville 1483, John de Bayeux 1087, William Bonne Ame 1110, William de Flavacour 1306, Ralph Roussel 1452. In the old choir lay Rollo, first duke of Normandy, and his son William Longspé, the second duke; and in the present nave Sybilla, wife of Duke Robert II. 1102. In the choir of this church, the Dukes of Normandy were crowned by the archbishops.-Rouen has had a suecession of upwards of 90 archbishops." "The churches and lands in England given to this Cathedral by several of our early Kings, may be seen in the Monasticon, vol. II. p. 1017. See also Dr. Duca rel's Anglo-Norman Antiquities, p. 23." To give a just degree of conse quence to the annexed engraving, it may be understood that it has been compared with a large view of the West front, and centre tower and spire rising beyond it, published at Rouen about the time of our Queen Anne (costume of the people seen near this church, being peculiar at that period to both countries); and I am much gratified in finding they cor respond in all their lines a confirmation that each is a faithful represen tation. Yours, &c. B. N. DEFINITIVE TREATY OF PEACE AND AMITY Between HIS BRITANNIC MAJESTY and HIS MOST CHRISTIAN MAJESTY, Signed at Paris, the 30th day of May 1814. HIS Majesty, the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and His Allies on the one part, and His Majesty the King of France and of Navarre on the other part, animated by an equal desire to terminate the long agitations of Europe, and the sufferings of mankind, by a permanent peace, founded upon a just repartition of force between its States, and containing in its stipulations the pledge of its durability; and His Britannic Majesty, together with His Allies, being unwilling to require of France, now that, replaced under the paternal government of her Kings, she offers the assurance of secu rity and stability to Europe, the condtions and guarantees which they bad with regret demanded from her former Government, their said Majesties have named Plenipotentiaries to discuss, settle, and sign a Treaty of Peace and Amity; namely, His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Right Honourable Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh, one of His said Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Coun cil, Member of Parliament, Colonel a the Londonderry Regiment of Militis, and His Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, &c. &c. &c.; the Right Honourable George Gordon, Earl of Aberdeen, Viscount Formartine, Lord Haddo, Methlic, Tarvis, and Kellie, &c. one of the Sixteen Peers representing the Peerage of Scotland in the House of Lords, Knight of His Majesty's Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, His Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty; the Right Honourable William Shaw Cathcart, Viscount Cathcart, Baron Cathcart and Greenock, one of His Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, Knight of His Order of the Thistle, and of the Orders of Russia, General in His Majesty's Army, and His Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias ; and the Honourable Sir Charles William Stewart, Knight of His Majesty's Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Member of Parliament, Lieutenant-General in His Majesty's Army, Knight of the Prussian Orders of the Black and Red Eagle, and of several others, and His Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to His Majesty the King of Prussia; and His Majesty the King of France and Navarre, Charles Maurice de Talleyrand Perigord, Prince of Benevent, Great Eagle of the Legion of Honour, Knight of the Black and Red Eagle of Prussia, Grand Cross of the Order of Leopold of Austria, Knight of the Russian Order of St. Andrew, and His said Majesty's Minister and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; who, having exchanged their full Powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon the following Articles : ART. I. There shall be from this day forward perpetual peace and friendship between His Britannic Majesty and His Allies on the one part, and His Majesty the King of France and Navarre on the other, their heirs and successors, their dominions and subjects, respectively. The High Contracting Parties shall devote their best attention to maintain, not only between themselves, but, inasmuch as depends upon them, between all the States of Europe, that harmony and good understanding which are so necessary for their tranquillity. II. The Kingdom of France retains its limits entire, as they existed on the 1st of January, 1792. It shall further receive the increase of Territory comprised within the line established by the following Article :— III. On the side of Belgium, Germany and Italy, the antient frontiers shall be re-established as they existed the 1st of January 1792, extending from the North Sea, between Dunkirk and Nieuport, to the Mediterranean between Cagnes and Nice, with the following modifications: 1st. In the department of Jemappes, the Cantons of Dour, Merbes-le-Chateau, Beaumont, and Chimay, shall belong to France, where the line of demarkation comes in contact with the Canton of Dour, it shall pass between that Canton and those of Boussu and Paturage, and likewise further on it shall pass between the Canton of Merbes-le-Chateau, and those of Binck and Thuin. 2. In the department of Sambre and Meuse, the Cantons of Walcourt, Florennes, Beauraing, and Gedinne, shall belong to France; where the demarkation reaches that department, it shall follow the line which separates the said Cantons from the department of Jemappes, and from the remaining Cantons of the department of Sambre and Meuse. 3. In the department of the Moselle, the new demarkation, at the point where it diverges from the old line of frontier, shall be formed by a line to be drawn from Perle to Fremersdorff, and by the limit which separates the Canton of Tholey from the remaining Cantons of the said department of the Moselle. 4. In the department of La Sarre, the Canton of Saarbruck and Arneval shas continue to belong to France, as likewise the portion of the Canton of Lebach which is situated to the South of a line drawn along the confines of the villages of Herchenbach, Ueberhofen, Hilsbach and Hall (leaving these different places out of the French frontier) to the point where, in the neighbourhood of Querselle (which place belongs to France) the line which separates the Cantons of Arneval and Ottweiler reaches that which separates the Cantons of Arneval and Lebach. The frontier on this side shall be formed by the line above described, and afterwards by that which separates the Canton of Arneval from that of Bliescastel. 5. The fortress of Landau having, before the year 1792, formed an insulated point in Germany, France retains beyond her frontiers a portion of the departments of Mount Tonnerre and of the Lower Rhine, for the purpose of uniting the said fortress and its radius to the rest of the kingdom. The new demarkation from the point in the neighbourhood of Obersteinbach (which place is left out of the limits of France) where the boundary between the department of the Moselle, and that of |
