PINNOCK'S CATECHISMS of the ARTS anti SCIENCES, price Ninepenoe each, are intended to form the basis of every branch of useful Iseunledds. and seq of them. selves, in fact. "an Epitome of the Arts and Sciences." The style !n which thew are written is at once clear and simple, conveying in struction to . the youthful mind in a manner unattainable by the use of more elaborate and comprehensive Works. In shc:t, while they fix on the mind the leading facts in History, and the funda mental principles of Science, the memory is relieved from the burden of retaining a mass of minutia' with which larger books necessarily abound. They consist of separate Catechisms on the following subjects:— Agriculture First Catechism Mental Thilomphy Algebra, two Pans General Knowledge Alineralogy Ancient II istory Geography Modern History Ancient Geography Geometry Morality Architecture German Grammar Music Arithmetic Greek Grammar Mythology Astronomy Hebrew Grammar Natural History Bible and Gospel Heraldry Navigation Botany History of England Ornithology .

The Proprietors of these Publications respectfully submit the following opinion of the Lord Chancellor of Lnglaud (the especial guardian of British youth), as delivered 1.1 him in the Court of Chancery, July 27, IMO: Mr. Wetherell haying applied to the Lord Chancellor to grant an injunction to restrain certain Booksellers from printing, publishing, and selling pirated Editions of " Pinnacles Catechisms," the ori ginals of which he denominated "useful compendiums of instruc tion for the ,juvenile classes of society." his Lordship, on compar. ing the spurious copies with the genuine works, granted the injure_ Lion ; and, after having attentively examined the latter, was pleased to make the following important observation on them:—" It appears to me that adults might be greatly benefited by the in struction these Books contain, as well as the younger branches of society." The Publishers respectfully beg leave to observe, that indepen dent of the high encomium above-mentioned, " Pinnock's Cate chisms" have met with the geteral approbation of a most nume rous and respectable class of intelligent teachers. They need only to be seen to ensure their universal adoption ; the information they contain In so small a compass being unparalleled, and the style in which they are written combining ease, conciseness, and perspicuity. '• Paring led to look into these Works, we have been pleasingly surprised at the variety and accuracy of the infornustion they con• taro, within so small a compass, and in so excellent a form ; and we must say, that more convenient, accurate, well-arranged, and proper Publications, were never submitted to general observation." —Literary Gazette.

Price 7d. BRITISH CLAIMS ON PRANCE. In August, 1814, after the treaty of pence between England and France, a mixed Commission was appeieted for the liquidation of the claims of British subj.:cm who hal coffered in 1793, fr in the ennfiecation of their pro perty in France, in violation of the treaty of commerce which had been concladed between the two countries in the year 1786. So many diffieulties, however', were thrown in the way of these Commissiorers by the Government of France, that they hail not been enabled to commence the liquidation of the claims ie March. 1815, when the return of Buoneparte pet an end to their Commission. The present Commissioners were appoint( tt it. 1'416 for the liquidating of these claims, and were further entrusted with the sat:lenient of large demands made by nullerous English merchants trading to Bordeaux, for the amount of certain duties which had been imptoperly demanded irons them at that port. In 1817, another Commission was issued, authorising them to proceed to the examination and settlement of various debts, which were due from the Government of France t the Inhabitants of the lonian Isles, and of the Isle el: France, and to other persons under the protection of thitneouttry. The Commissioners continued in France till the year 1818, when, by a convention signed in April of that year, t):e French Cotnmissionets of liquidation were withdrawn, and a large sum was placed at the :disposal of the English Commiesioners, who were afterwards empowered by an Act of Parliament, panted in May, 1819, to distribute it among the different clasimants ; and, by the same Act, they were directed to publish, within fourteen days after the sth day of July, and sth day of January, in each year, a live of all the claims which hail been investigated or decided. These returns have been regularly made, in obedience to that Act of Parliament ; while, in addition to these half yearly statements, the House of Commons, in cuns.quence of motions made on helialf of certain of the claimants have, at different times, called for an account of all the p;oceed inge of the Cotnntiesion. These returns were printed in February, 1818 ; May, 1819; and July, 1821. lestead, therefore, " of the publie being left to their own surmises, respecting the progress which has been made in the execu-. non of the business of this Commission," as has beer, so calmly emerted, as if the thing were . undeniable, di per son: interested in Pie liquidation of these cases have tad, dad may nt any titne have, by reference to th/se papers, the neat full and detai:ed nee:tents of the regressive ndindica lion claims, and of the amount if thefa.rui at diprent periods. It appears from these papers (to state briefly the re sult of than) that the Commissioners have had entrusted to them the sum of 133,817.000 francs, or, in English money, 5,575,700/. sterling; that claims have been made before them to the amount of about 200,000,000 fraucs, or 8,500,0001. sterling; that during the two years they were employed in Pans, they, in conjunction with the Freech Commissianers, delivered 382 written awards, by which 414 distinct claims were adjudicated, and paid . to the claimants on such awards the sum of 59,041,921 francs, or, in English money, of 2,460,080/. sterling. Since the pass ing of the Act of Parliament, in May, 1819, the Com missioners have further adjudicated 1648 cases. and have paid thereon 70,248,020 francs, or, in English money, 2,927,000/. sterling. . Before the passing of the Act. some of the clairrents represented to Parliament the magnitude of many of the cases, frequently invoking the most difficult questions of French and English law • and they petitioned that a Court of Appeal might be created, for the purpose of revising, if necessary, the judgment of the Board. In compliance with this petition, it was enacted that appeals from the de cision of the Board might becarried before his Majesty in Council; and since that period twenty:Pair appeals agnisst awards of rejection hare been entered, and the Lends of the Privy Council have devoted a great many days to the hear iag of these French cases. They continued their siftinggss till July last, when several judgments were de tveted. Eleven appeals, however, still remain undecided, and, as they involve the decision of sums amounting to 30 millions of francs, a sum very considerably exceeding the amount of the fund now in the heeds of the Commissioners, they are unable to proceed in the farther distribution of serit fund until the Court of Appeal shall have pronounced its final judgment, either by confirming, or rescinding, the awards of the Board. In the meantime, the clattranta (that is, those who have suffered from confiscation in France) have been paid 90 per cent. on the full amount of the sums found to be due to them, including simple inte rest up to March 1816. They have farther received, in pursuance of one of the articles of the Convention, a com pound interest on the amount of their claims since March 1826, up to the dates of their respective liquidations, which compound interest in the recent cases amounts to a farther sum of about 77 per cent. on the amount awarded. Such claimants, therefore, even at the rate of 90 per cent., have, under these circumstances. already received more than 160/. for every 1001. which they originally lost. The salaries of the Commissioners, and the general ex penses of the Commission (the amount of which has been repeatedly stated in the returns ordered by Parliament). arc not paid by the public, but from a fund in the hands of Government, formed, according to the words of the Act of Parliament, " by deducting the sum of two pa cent. en the amount of all the claims liquidated, for the purpose of reimbursing to his Majesty's Government the expense: cf the said Commission." So much for the fine argument that this Commission being a burden upon the people, the people bed a right to know, Stc. &c. &c. This statement also is a sufficient answer to the assertion, that the poor claimants, many of them in distressed circumstances, are abridged of their per centage, in consequence of the gnat expense of the establishment in Parliatnent-str. et. There is no longer, as has been affirmed, "err. adverse French Beard cf Liquidation ;" but, when evidence is required from the public offices of France, the documents can, of course, only be procured by application to the pro per French Authorities, who, by the Treaty, are 'directed to deliver them. But they who are +toque:teed with the modes of transacting such business in France. will be aware that papers of this description can never be procured without great difficulty and delay. It tney be added, that the Commissioners have, in vire , many instances, had to decide on conflicting clahns for the same rum, brought by different British subjects, who have appeared before :hens, by theii Counsel and Attorneys ; and that fur the purpose of explaining the decision of the Board in each questions, and also of previtlete for the re vision of these cases, in th.: event of an Appeal to the Privy Council, it became necessary in each award, to detail and comment upon all the evider.ce and documents thus pro d.:med. In consequence of this, many of these awalits (and we have some of them now lying before us) are ex. vanely volumMous instruments; but, by recurring to the dates and numbers above-mentioned, it will be seen that, since 1819, the real progress of the laminae has been, that the Commissioners b.ave delivered more than emit written award per diem. A mderahle proof, we think, that theme has been no lack of diligence in the discharge of duties which must be, frcm the very nature of them, most intri cate and difficult of perthrtnance. We have gone into this question at greater length than we originally intended ; hut the above statemeut must carry conviction to every mind. There is not one word of it which can be contradicted ; we know the truth and ac curacy of all that we have advanced : and we leave the public to judge from this specimen, how little reliance ought to be placed upon the erode accuatient of indivi duals, who, when they can pick up from heir-informed persons what lookr like a ease against the Government, or any public body, never hesitate to thunder forth their charges, as if they were the very oracles of truth.---t.oerie: .
