AFTfcR examining the French pronunciation, With
to- the letters made use of to express it, tra
and the diiiicultics wh.ch neceiTarity occur in its being ad
Toon acquired by foreigners who apply themselves to the si
flndy of the French tongue ; difficulties arifing—ift. njr
From the different ways in which the fame found is re
presented—ad. From th* usual way of exprefling differ- w<
ctit fotlnds—3d. And from the want of means fit to c<*n- eft
vey to th mind these founds with simplicity and clearnef*. be
Convinced that to remove these difficulties, or at least
to lefTn them, is an attempt worthy the attention of
those who are desirous to learn the French iauguage. _
P. L. Portier, most rtfpewkfully offers his services to
the enlightened public of this city, in order to teaeh the fu
French tongue, cfpecially the reading of it, by a method
yet unpra&ifi-d any where. cc
This method, simple in itfelf, is to convey to the mind, -
by means of particular chara&ers, every kind of founds, -
and word», without any regard to the letters tiled to com- P 1
p«*fe them.
Each chara&er will express one fyliable, representing to
the mkid the only French found proper for it these cha
ra&trs are so easy to form, and o recollcsl, thartbe mean f
elt conception may thoroughly nnderftand them in kf>
than a month.
Asfoow as the scholar is acquainted with these charac
Itrs, he cannot be at a loss in the reading of any Frene
words, becaufehe will find in the table of characters, an .i c
observations th reon, the right way of pronouncing ever y
proper word.
Another advantage deriving from this method, is tn ] -
«na,ble the Learner to.. adapt mmn
tongue; which he may find very convenient, either to g
write private notes, or even correspond with any one ha l ?
ing a knowledge of them.
The indention of the anther is to keep an Evcnir
School from 7 to 9, and to attend -t the h'oufes of tho
Ladies and Gentlemen who may be pleased to honoi- t
him with their commands. He will teach every da
Sundays excepted, one hour by leiTbn, during which, hi
will <1© his utmoil to deferv'e their favours.
He may presume to affurc his patrons, that the great (ft
pun&uality shall be observed in his hours of attendance, 1
and that neither care nor pains shall be wanting for their 1
improvement m readii'g, writing and speaking the French \
language. Apply to No. 181, fduth Front Street, between

But though thecandua of the Senate in with
holding their afTent to this article is conceived to ed
havt been upon the whole well judged and wife, yet It
there were not wanting icafons of real weight to in- Oi
duce our negociator to agree to it as it (lands. - aW
The inviolability of the principles of the navi- tb
gationa&had become a kind of axiom incorpora
ted in the habits of thinking of the Britith govern
ment and nation—Precedent, it is known, has
great influence as well upon the councils as upon ; rj
die popular opinions of nations !—and there is per- ,h
haps no country in which it has greater force than an
that of Great Britain—The precedent of a feri- 0 f
ons and unequivocal innovation Hpon the fyftemof jj
the navigation adt difiolved as it were the spell, by e f
which the public prejudices had been chained to :t. j u
It took away a mighty argument derived from the f a
pall inflexibility of the system and laid the faunda- 0 f
Hon for greater inroads upon opinion forfurther ar.d
greater innovations in pradticc. It served to llrip u
I the question of every thing that was artificial and
to btiag it to the simple test of real national inter- J,.
| eft, to be decided by that best of all arbiters, ex
perience. fn
It may upon this ground be strongly argued that j, (
the precedent of the privilege gained was of more al
importance than its immediate extent —an argument D |
, certainly of real weight and w.hich is fuffieient to 01
incline candid men .to view the motives that govern- t }
s ed our negociator in this particular, with favor, and
- the opinion to which he yielded with refpedt. It a ]
. is perhaps not unimportant, by way of precedent
g that the article tho' not established, is fo«nd ia the 0
. treaty. ei
Though the 13th article so far as refpedts the j
terms and conditions of the trade to the British If- f,
lands forms no part of the treaty, having been excep- 0
ted, and made the fubjedt of further negotiation, 0
it may nevertheless be ufeful to take notice of some e
c ! of the many ill-founded objections that have been <;
I made against it ;of this c-harndter is that which as- j,
Y'l fcmttiartWearretogpc of article pc.

ds formed the project of marching along the right
to banks of the Rhine, and to attack Mentz from
ed the lide of Calfcl. To elTedl this purpose, they
ild mull dislodge an army of 20,000 Auifriani,which
e- has retreated to Rittingen, four miles frcm Dufll-1-
dorff; where they occupy a position covered by
■as woods a«d ravines, and the roads to which ar« ex
he tvemdy bad. They mult also pass the Lahn. the
to banks of which arc very deep, and which is dc
id- fended by the gallant Geneial Beaulieu.
nd On the other hand, General Wurmfer, is ma
he king every disposition for passing the upper Rhine ;

re- on the tepairs of which near 50001. have within
he these few yeais been expended, was entirely de
by ftroyed by fire. The flames broke oat in the cu-
J, pola, owing to the careleCV.cfs sf feme workmen
em ployed in it, who fuffered a pitch pot to boil
over. i
