This however was the uniform prac tice of the early ages, and is indeed fandtioned by the authority of the Canons :—even we, ft:ll retain the idle ceremony of a Conge d'El'trt, in the nomination of our vacant Bifhopricks—a pra&ice that unquestionably may be traced to this very source. Pre determined to avow your discontent to the moll laudable and unexceptionable institutions, you think by allowing an honorable couipenfa tion out of the coffers of the State, for the labors ofthe Clergy, that the new Government of France has made " a degrading Pensionary Eftablifh rnent, to which 110 man of liberal ideas will de (line his children." What a libel upon Religion ! It appears then, that you look upon the I rieji hood as a mercenary profeflion, to which 110 pru dent father will apprcut.ce his son, without the certainty of correspondent emoluments! A refer ence to Ecclefiaflical History would however in form you, that the Church never had such able defenders, nor Chriflianity such celebrated sup porters, as when the zeal of their common fer ■vants flowed from their voluntary attachment, and nor their (tipendary labours ! If 1 did not know, Sir, that your condutfl for some years pad had precluded every idea of friendfhip, I fhotild have wondered that you had Dot confulred some person in pofleflion of your confidence, before your late publication had seen the light Had you communicated your Manu script to the learned Author of BellenDenus, I am sure that, imitating the honed reply of Gil BLAStntheARCHF!SHOPofGRANADA,he would have (hook the classical curls of his collegiate wig, and shrewdly prophecied " that this last Homily would undo your reputation ! MDE CALONNE, in his celebrated Work, . (published in England) on the Revolu tion in France, gives the following melancholy pitture : ~ " Whatever opinions men may have embraced, or to whatever party they may be deveted, there is one point in which the whole world is unhap pily forced to be unanimous: That the Hate of France, at the prefenr moment, is infinitely de plorable, and such as no ingenuous mind can view without horror. In vain do we attempt to turn away our eyes from this fpetftacle, and to fafcinate our imaginations by splendid promises. The whole power of oratory, the vain found of emphatic expieffions, avail not to efface the frightful image of what we fee with our eyes, nor to extingui<h sentiments which in our hearts we approve. The King, held in captivity by his fubje&s, the kingdom abandoned to pillage, the public power destroyed, justice dumb ana trem bling, the molt atrocious crimes unpunished, and, to crown the levies of abominations, innocence punilhed with juridical formality," &c. &c. ADVERTISEMENT THE Subscriber, who served a regular apprenticeship to the business of VENDUE-MASTER, under Mr. George Kelly, has just opened an OFFICE in the Borough of Nor folk, Virginia, in a good and eonvenient House, situated near the County Wharf, where he is in hopes of giving general fatisfac tion to all those that may be pleased to favor him with their com mands.

PINTARD & BLEECKER, Neut-Yori, No. 57, King.Street. (97 law 6m) March 15, 1791 CONTRACT, For erecting BRIDGES over the Hackinsack and Passaicak Rivers, between Powlas-Hook and Newark, in the Stateof New-Jcrfey. THE Commifltoners appointed by an ast of the the state of New-Jf*r fev, to ere& bridges over the Hackinfaclc and PafTaia; k rivers, having obtained the necessary surveys, arc now ready to receive propofdls for performing the fame ; and offer the following conditions for the confederation of such as may be inclined 10 contra6l: The situation of the bridge across the Hackinfack river, will be at one of the following stations, as shall be hereafter determined mod eligible. ift. At the place where the orefent ferry is eftabliihed, wh«rt. the width of the river is 1448 feet. Depth at the eastern shore, 8 feet 8 inches. Do. western shore, 8 11 Greatest depth, 25 4 2d. At a place more northerly, called Douw's Ferry, where the width of the river i» 846 feet. Depth at the eastern shore 19 feet 10 inches. Do. weftein (hore 12 Greatest depth 35 8 The situation of tl e bridge across th Paffaiack river, will be at one of the three following stations, as shall be hereafter determin ed most eligible. ift. At the place wherFthe present feuy is eftabliihed, where the width of the river is 6*6 feet. Depth at the eastern (hore 8 feet 6 inches, Do. weftcrn shore 9 6 Greatest depth 17 2d. At a place more westerly, called Beef-Point, where the breadth of the river is 799 feet. Depth at the eastern shore 11 feet, Do. wcftcrn (hare 4 5 inches, Greaiett depth 13 4 3d. At a place still more northerly, callrd Hedden's dock, ia the town of Newark, where The width of tha rivtr is 526 feet. Depth at the eastern Ihorc 4 feet 5 inches, Do. weft rn shore 10 8 Greatcft depth 15 11 The bridges are to be conftruftcd on the principles of those erect ed over Charles, Myftick, and Beverly Rivers in the State of M»f fachufetts, with a draw to admit a free paflTage for velfels with fix "d (landing mafU, not less than twenty-four feet wide, to be pla ced in such part of the bridges as shall be determined most con venient for the navigation of the river, with piles or blocks oa each fide of the entrance of such draw, as (hall be judged fufficient: to aid vessels in parting through. Also, one lamp on each lide of the draw, to be lighted every night from sunset to sunrise, during the continuance of the lease. The bridges arc to be built with such piles, timber, scantling, and plank, zs fliall render them perfectly substantial and ferure id the opinion of the commiflTioners, and are to be of a futfkicnt height to protest them aga'.nft the tides, which rife at ordinary tides from 5 to 6 feet, and at spring tides from 8 to io feet. They are robe 31 feet in breadth, viz. Allowance for carnage way, eo feet. Do. for foot walks, railed off on each fide, 4 feet each, 8 Do. for balluftrades, 1 foot each, « feet. Do. for hand-rails for do. 6incheseach, 1 foot.—Total, 3! feet. The fides of the bridges to be secured with strong ballultrades, after the manner of th« bridge between Boston and Charleftown. The bridges and draws are to be kept *n constant repair, and at the expiration of the lease are to be furrendcred in good order, agreeably to the adt. The following are the terms which the commiflioncrs are au thor i fed to offer to contra£lors : A lease of the exclusive privilege of the bridges for a per-od not exceeding 99 years, with a toll equal to three-fourths of the pro sent rates of ferriage. From as accurate an estimate as could poflibly be obtained, the actual receipts of the ferries for a medium of five years last part, amount to twelve hundred pounds, New-Jersey currency, per annum, three-fourths of that sum will confrquently produce an immediate income of 900 pounds per aim. This may fairly be estimated as the smallest profit that can be calculated upon. Th« advancing population of the United S'ates, the increasing inter course between the two cities of New-York and Philadelphia, the facility which the conftruftion of these bridges will give to travel ling, the cafy communiration thereby offered with the state of New-York, on the weflern fide of the Hudson, are >11 important circumstances, which must necefTarily tend rapidly to accumulate the profits of the bridges. The commiffionos are moreover au thorized bv law to raise four ihoufand pounds to be applied to wards making caufewavs and laying out proper oar's conne&eA with the bridges, and have a lottery now on foot for that purp>fe» As soon as the places shall be determined on where the budge* are to be fixed, and ihe conrra&s for eiettinj; them aie ex cuted, the roads and caufewavs will be immediately undertaken* Such persons therefore as mav be inclined tocontratt on the principles, will be pica fed to fend in their terms sealed, within three mon'hs from this date, to William Maxwell, Esq. in New-York, fpecifying the fhoru-ft period ol lease for which thev will undertake to erett the said bridges,together with proper security for performing the fame.
