''PHE undernamed committee, appointed Lv 1 " THE SOCIETY for the INSTITU TION and SUPPORT ot FIRST-DAY or SUNDAY SCHOOLS in the city of Philadel phia and the diitiift of Southwaik and the Northern Libtrties," to solicit fuuher fubferip tions lor the support of the schools which the (aid society have cftabiithed, take the liberty to rcprefent to their fellow citizen*— That, although the fehool? were fufperided during the period of the late avrlul calamity with which our city and fubtiibs have been af flifled, they aie now again opened ior the lice admillion and education of poor children. That, the necilfity and rcaTons for the eflab lifhment of thefc schools arc htcre;ifed, from ibe Circumftauce of the late distress having left a number of Orphans deilitute of all the means of education, favc what the hand of bcnevolencc may adminiiler. 7'hat, former < xoerience has, mod pleafmglv, verified the fondeft hopes ot the friends of this inilitution, with regard to the piogrefs and ad vancement of the children, who hav« heretofore been under its care, in the ufeful branches of education which it has afforded. Referring to this fa£t, and to the address to the public, on this fubjeft, publilhed in the newspapers of this city in the third month lall, when about eight hundred and twenty children of both sexes had partaken of the benefits afforded by the society, and about three hundred and twenty more were th-n a&ually receiving inftiufliou in their schools, it now onlv icmains to be observed, that the funds of the society are greatly infufli cient to carry on their benevolent drfigns, and that the committee formerly appointed to solicit fubferiptions, conceived it necelTary to decline their applications to their fellow-citizens for their assistance in favor of thefc fchdbls, in order that thtic might be co inierrupiic/n from rhem to the folicitatioDs then made in hehalf ol their unfortunate brethren from Cape-Francois. The public aid is now therefore earncflly fo liated to support a charitable eftablilhment, cal culated upon the principles of public and pri vate good. The annual fubfeription for a mem ber is but One Dollar ; and it is presumed that so fnidll a sum per annum cannot be better dik posed of, by those who can afloid it, than by belfoWfng it as the price of the diffufion of ufctitl knowledge among the pbor and lriendlcfs.

INSTRUCTIONS From the Conflituted Authorities of France, To CITIZEN GENET, Minijler of the French Republic ,to the United States of North-America, [concluded.] Extract from a supplement to the infli given to citizen Genet, minijlcr plenipoten tiary of the French republic to the United States of America. THE Executive Council wilh that a new treaty, founded upon a baiis more li beral and more fraternal than that of 1778, may be concluded as soon as poliib'e. As, however, they cannot conceal that iu the actual state of Europe a negociation of this kind may be subject to many impedi ments, whether brought about by secret manoeuvres of the English minister and hii partizans at Philadelphia, by the timidity cf certain members of the federal govern ment, who notwithstanding their own pa triotism have always (hewn the Itrongeft aversion to every measure which might be uilpleafing to England, they think it right, for the present, that citizen Genet (hould draw every advantage which the provilions of the fubhlling treaty fepure to the re public, until a new compact has more clear ly and fully defined and enlarged them. In this view, which exiiling circum stances render particularly important, Ci tizen Genet is exprefslv enjoined to make himfelf thoroughly miifterof the sense cf the treaty of 1778, and to be watchful in the execution of the articles which are favorable to the commerce and navigation of the French republic, and he will en deavor to fatisfy the Americans, that the engagements which may appear burthen fome to them are the just price of that In dependence which the French nation con tributed to acquire for them. In the probable cafe of a maritime war Citizen, Genet will employ all the means in Ills power to procure a-itligious obfer— vancc of the 17th, 21ft, and 22d aiti des of the treaty of commerce, by which the contra&ing parties engage Freely to ad mit the prizes made by either oF the par- ties from its enemies, and have renounced the right of permitting their citizens to serve under the flag of a foreigner against theveflels of theirrefpeftivenations,or even to admit into their ports the prizes of fo reigners, or permit the arming or fapply ing foreign privateers. These articles are the more important in the now situation, as the great dillauce of the English privateers from their ports, and the difficulty of supplying them, will render their cruizers the more expensive, and the return and sale of their prizes the more precarious ; while our vefiels, avail ing themselves of their right, will have at their disposal all the ports of the United States and the provisions with which they abound. It would be moreover to be feared that the fitting out in American ports English armaments, or such as were pretended to be so, would induce a num ber of individuals of the northern states, remarkable for theii boldness and activity, to accept of English commissions and dis tress and injure our commerce. Without doubt neither the Congress or the Execu tive powerof the United States would ap prove a conduct so little conformable to the ties of friendfhip and good understand ing which fubfills between the two nati ons ; but the great extent of the Englilh commerce in America now become free, the prodigious number of its factors and of the emiflaries of George the 111. the means of corruption, which their situation and their local acquaintance give them, would render these expeditions the more j frequent as it would be so easy to deceive the vigilance of government by concealed equipments. Citizen Genet is therefore particularly enjoined to watch, by the consuls and commercial agents, the con duct of the Englilh in the different ports, to insist rigorously upon the execution of the 17th, 21 ft, and 2id articles of the treaty of 1778, and to prevent in the A- RTI S E [Whole No. 479.] merican ports all equipments, unless upon account of the French nation and the ad mission of any prize except those which Ml have been made by the veflels of the republic. He will take to explain himfelf npon this object with the dignity and e nergy of the representative of a great peo ple, who in faithfully fulfilling their en gagements know how to make their rights F.ions refpe&ed As focm as circumstances permit effica cious negociations concerning a new trea ty of commerce, Citizen Genet will not lose fight of llipulating pofitivelv and without refefve for a reciprocal exemption from the duty on tonnage, avoided, under different pretences, for many years pad by the American government, tho' expressly granted by the 6th article of the present treaty The mutual naturalization of French and American citizens in commercial ref pe£ts, proposed by Mr. Jefferfon and ap proved of by the Executive Council, will render this exemption from the duty on tonnage less offenlive for the powers claim ing a participation of the fame favor by virtue of their treaties, for the cafus fe deris will be entirely changed with refpeft to them, The reciprocal guarantee of the two na tions stipulated in the i ith article of the treaty of 1778. can be eftablilhed upon generous principles which have been al ready pointed out, and shall equally be an elfential clause in the new treaty which will be proposed. The Executive Coun cil in confequcncc recommendefpecially to citizenGenettofound early the disposition of the American government&to make it a condition, J; Hi qua nou, of their free com merce with the Weft-Indies so elfential to the United States. It nearly concerns the peace and prosperity of the French na tion, that a people, whose resources en creafe beyond all calculation and whom nature hath placed so near our rich colo nies, should become interested, by their 4 own engagements, in the preservation of these islands. Citizen Genet will find the less difficulty in making this proposition reiilhec in the United States, as the great trade which will be the reward of it will indemnify them ultimately for the facrifices which they may iiiake at the cr.tfet, and the Americans cannot be ignorant of the great (iilproportion between their resour ces andthofe of the French republic, and that for S very long period the guaran tee allied of them will be little else than nominal for them, while that on our part will be real and we (hall immediately put ourlelves in a state to fulfil it, in fending to the American ports a fufficicnt force to put them beyond insult and to facilitate their communication with the islands and with France. Fully to insure the success of these negotiations and to render nugatory in the United States those scandalous inli nuatior.s so clrj-.deftinely spread through Europe by the enemies of the republic, the Executive Council specially direct Ci tizen Genet to adhere to the forms estab lished for official communications with the United States, between the government and foreign agents, and not to permit himfclf to take any step, or make any overture, which can give umbrage to the Americans in regard to the constitution which they have chosen, and which differs in many ponits from the principles eftab lilhed in France. The emissaries and partizans of George 111, the emigrants, and the Hilpaniola re fugees, who are found in great numbers in the principal cities of the United States, ar.d who have already infe&ed them with their falfehonds, will not fail to watch the minister of the republic and to give all his measures the molt malicious conftruftion. An open and patriotic con duct can alone put him beyond the reach of calumny and mifconftru&ion. The Executive Council relies in this respect with an entire confidence upon the pru dence and known ifioderatLn of Citizen Genet. R.
