Spalatto, a rich, populous, and strong town of the republic of Venice, capital of Venetian Dalmatia, with a good harbour and an archbishop's see. Here are the ruins of the palace of Diocletian, of which the late Mr Robert Adam published in 1764 a splendid account, enriched with 71 folio plates.

It is seated on the Gulf of Venice, 35 miles south-
