At Paris, of apoplexy, François Mazois, a distinguished architect, and writer on subjects of archæology and the fine arts. Mazois was born at Lorient, in the department of Morbihan, Oct. 12, 1783, and was educated at the central school at Bourdeaux, where he particularly applied himself to drawing and mathematical studies, and made great progress in those pursuits. After being examined by Monge, he was admitted into the Polytechnic school. His wishes led him to select the army as his future profession, but being afflicted with an incurable deafness,at the age of fifteen, he changed his views, and applied him self to architecture, as the next pursuit most congenial to his taste. After studying a short time under Percier, among whose pupils he soon distinguished himself, he determined to explore the classic soil of Italy, which his fortune enabled him to do at his own expense. At Rome he applied himself not only to the study of the remains of ancient buildings as an architect, but to archæology generally. Having acquired some celebrity in that city, he was invited to Naples by Murat, at that time sovereign of the South of Italy, to assist in embellishing his capital. The vicinity of Pompeii was to him an irresistible at traction: and here he devoted himself with enthusiasm to making drawings, frequently passing whole weeks together in that employment, and in collecting materials for his noble work, "Les Ruines de Pompeii." He next proceeded to investigate the remains of Postum; measuring and drawing all the remains of that celebrated city with the utmost exactness. These labours occupied about twelve years, after which he returned to Paris, where he was employed in many public and private works, and was engaged to make designs for a palace for the deputies of the departments. As an architect his principal works are: the restoration of the palace at Portici, the restoration of the convent and church of the Trinity at Rome; various improvements in the French ambassador's palace, in the same city. At Paris he built four very elegant private houses in the ChampsElysées, at Paris; alterations in the archiepiscopal palace at Rheims; the passage Choiseul, &e. at Paris, &c. His literary and graphic productions consist of "Les Ruines de Pompeii," of which twenty parts in folio have appeared, forming two-thirds of the whole; "Le Palais de Scaurus," 8vo. a very interesting and erudite description of a Roman mansion; "Les Ruines de Pæstum," intended as a sequel to his work on Pompeii. Unfortunately this is not completely prepared for publication, but there is reason to hope that it will yet be given to the public, as most of the plates are executed. Besides these works, Mazois contributed a great number of lives of architects, sculptors, and other artists, to the work, entitled "Galerie Fran çoise," and a variety of papers on archæological subjects to different journals. He was also preparing a "Mémoire sur les Embellissemens de Paris depuis 1800,” Right hon. Fred. John Robinson.. Viscount Melville Duke of Wellington Secretaries of State Home Department. Foreign.
