There are two painting hy Teniers, and two others hy Salvator Rosa. I was particularly pleased with one of the latter; an old soldier praying in a wild landscape before a simple cross! Two other paintings arc said to he by Rubens: among these I observed a portrait of Rubens, of which the origi- nal is in the collection of Mr. Schamp, at Ghent. There are likewise good plaster-casts of the best Roman antiques, of a Ve- nus of Milo^and the three Graces of Canova, and likewise two gladiators of ful...l size by the same artist. The house of Commodore Chauncey* is situated on a hill in the navy-yard, which affords a fine view of the wharf and Long Island. The commodore took a walk with me to the wharf. As I left his house, I was escorted by a guard of honour of thirty ma- rines, commanded by a captain; in the meantime the man-of-war Franklin saluted me with twenty-one guns. This mark of re- spect was quite unexpected in the United States, and of course I was the more surprised and flattered. In the navy-yard two frigates and two corvettes, not yet named, were building; one frigate was finished, but was still under cover.
