Nota Bene.-The above List is imperfect in regard to the Paintings; the Undersigned not having been enabled to enter the Museum for the purpose of correcting it. It will, therefore, be necessary to add to it some other Paintings, which, whether exhibited or not, are the Property of Rome, and of the Papal States. Of the latter, an accurate Return is expected every moment.

The 500 Manuscripts will be easily recognized by their marks, which are peculiar to the Vatican Library, whence they were taken. To these must be added likewise, the Medals, Prints, Cameos, and Christian Antiquities, of which the Vatican Museum was despoiled, independently of the articles surrendered under the Armistice, previous to the Treaty of Tolentino; the latter articles alone would amount to a sum of about seven millions of francs.
