t THE TOWER OF ST. OUEN, ROUEN. Tiie City of Rouen, besides being in itself a most remarkable and extraor dinary town, retaining in the general appearance of its narrow streets, the lofty grotesque over-hanging wooden houses of its interior parts, more remains of anti quity than are elsewhere to be met with, is peculiarly interesting to the English traveller, as the ancient capital of Normandy—the cradle of our Sovereigns, the country from which so many of our noble families derive their origin, and which was for so long a period of years a splendid appendage to the English Crown. Of the thirty Parish Churches which it formerly boasted, nearly the half are now converted into warehouses. The Cathedral, built by William the Conqueror, and the Church of St. Ouen, are among the finest specimens of Gothic architecture in France. We shall have another opportunity of speaking of St. Ouen ; and will only observe here, that the central Tower, seen in the annexed View, is not only the grandest in Rouen, but perhaps unequalled by any thing of the size, even in England. It rises upwards of 100 feet above the roof of the church, and is sup ported below by four magnificent clustered pillars, each thirty-two feet {n circum ference. The Rue de Robec presents a singular scene. It is the abode of dyers, and the rapid Eau de Robec, crossed by many small bridges, which flows down the middle, receives in quick succession all the ever-varying hues imparted by the occupation of the inhabitants.
