As the Public opinion of the merit and utility of this Wink has been most unequivocally expressed, by the rapid and extensive sale of the Nine Volumes Winch have appeared, it is not deemed necessary to expatiate on the claims which Thu Modern History will possess, to a continuance of the same tiaLtering patronage. it is obvious, that to all persons to the great Uni versal History, in 66 large Volumes Oetavo, is either too ex pensive, or too voluminous, Dr. Mayor's Univer,il History, in 25 moderate-sized Volumes, must be a most desirable ac quisition.

BEAUTY OF PERSON. Patronized by His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent. AS nothing is a greater - Ornament than a White Set of Teeth, TROTTER's, ASIATIC TOOTH.

The'Powder cleanses and beautifies the Teeth, sweetens the Breath, possesses no acid that can cor- - rode the enamel, and is extremely safe in its use. Front its - astringency it strengthens the gums, eradicates the - scurvy,- which often proves thedestfudion of a whole set of Teeth, preserves sound Teeth from decay, secures dec., yed Teeth from becoming worse, fastens those which are loose, proves the hap py-means of preventing their being drawn. But what has en. hanced it in the estimation of Ladies and Gentlemen who have been in the habit of using it, is, that it'prevents'ate re turn of The Tooth.ach, with which, before , that period, they had been violently afiliaed; and obviating the necessity of that most disagreeable of all operationscaling the Teeth. Likewise a TinClure which possesses the power of easing the most Tooth-ach, and braces the Gums, and is-a Wash after the. Powder, perfedly sate in its use, having no acid. M. Trotter recommeners it to Gentlemen going abroad to take with theM, as Gentlemen who have been abroad have found the good eftZte:ts of the Powders in long voyages ' • and also proper for all Families, and Schools to keep by - thetn.

WE this morning received two of the Paris Pa pers of the 21st inst. viz. the Moniteur and the Clef rim Cabinet. They are completely barren of In telligence. The French Funds have risen to 53. 30. At nine o'clock yesterday morning His MAJESTY set off from Kew Palace to Ashford, where he ar rived at ten, and reviewed the Scots Greys. He was met on the ground by the PRINCE of WALss and the DUKE of \Toxic., who came from Oatlands. The DUKE Of - CUMBERLAND and many persons of dis tinaion were also present. This Regiment is so well. known and distinguished, that it is unnecessary to say it acquitted itself with great credit. The Review concluded at ,half-past twelve, when, His MAJESTY went on to Windsor, where he will re side some time. The QUEEN and PRINCESSES set cut from Kew in the forenoon for Windsor also, and were there before MAJESTY. The PRINCE of WALES returned to Brighton, and the DUKE of YORK to TOWII. On Thursday His MAJESTY drove one •of the PRINCESSES in his Phaeton from Kew _through Richmond, and,took an airing in the Park, followed by the QUEEN and two other PRINCESSES, with the Countess of CARDIGAN, in a Sociable. They returned to Kew to dinner. The KING was en gaged in the morning giving directions for budding the new Palace at Kew. Yesterday the 13 th Regiment of Light Horse were stationed at WandSworth, Putney, and the adjacent villages, into which quarters they marched from Rumford,. having taken this route in order to be near enough to reach Ashford on Friday morning next, when they are to be reviewed by the KING. By the Dutch Mail which arrived yesterday, we learn that Mr. Lts-roN has had his first Audience of the Administration of the States at the Hague, and delivered his Credentials. The Russian and French MiniSters were daily expeaed. , • • The Earl of SHREWSBURY is among the minter. our visitors to France. His Lordship left town yesterday. The 7th of October is the next Grand Review Day at the Thuilleries, which is represent, ed as the finest sight to be seen. Most of the Eng.- ~f iliatinhion at Paris, who were presented at the last Levee, have received invita_ tions to dine with the Chief Consul on the above day, as it is the etiquette of the French Court, only, to invite to dinner those who have been presented on the preceding Levee-day. Last week Lord Viscount LOWTHER honouied with his presence the anniversary meeting of the Kendal Bock-Club, Whitehaven, of which hiS Lord ship was elcded a Member, and afterwards Presi_ dent for the ensuing year. His Lordship and:Fa mily returned to the Castle on Thursday. .. A few days since was married at Shoreham, in SusseX, Colonel PORTER, M. P. for Stockbridge, to ;he Dowager Countess of GROSVENOR. After the ceremony, an elegant wedding dinner was given at the Colonel's house. Madame TALLEYRAND,,IA .a Lady of uncommon beauty and great accomplishments.—Bearing the name of Madame GRAND ) she resided for a con siderable time in London, under the prOteaion of an'Emigrant Gent!emir]. She is a native of one of the French West India Islands, and was before married, but from the late event ii is to be supposed that either her former,husband has paid the debt of nature, or that they have been divorced. The clia, raCter of a married Lady and the agremeizs of her perion recommended her exceedingly to:t,everal . spedable English families, into which she was in.. troduced. Her objets in returning to.Frarice„was' tq endeavour to recover some property secreted .there,:by a friend, at ,the time of the Revolution"; but attrading the eye and attaching to herself the heart of the, Minister, her. prospects - changed, and ha fortunes ha•ve been very much ameliorated. She has, it seems, forgotten the objets of her mission, but it is- rao more than justice to-her to state,. that since her 'elevation, she has distinguished 'by the most friendly attentions those English whom she knew, and who had treated , her with civility . during her residence in London, Lady HoLL AND . is kttown to haveolisplayed qua_ lilies which could scarcely fail to recommend.ber, to some great Ladies on the' Continent. But , unfor- • tunately a *rigid, etiquette forbids it—Lady. Ho L. LAND has not, since her last marriage, been pre sented' at St: James's. *As' a consolation for this,. however, she is a great favourite with her Aunt, and they compost a' pair— " Et cantare pares, et respondere paratx." The visitors io Paris may in•generai be. literally called birds of passaie.' The enormous .expences oblige them to return before they have time to see half the cwiosities, all of which are gratuitously exhibited; They just have a peep,. and the.Hotel keepers take care that they shall pay for pee:friv. It is asserted in a letter lately'addressed to . 'Mr. Fox, that ,he .met Mr. Aicruutt .0 1 CoNiNtoR: Calais,. and passed the evening in company with him. • We have no doubt but that Mr. FO.%'S friends will immediately come forward and viuzil cate his character from so serious an imputation. • - Mr. Wool:16 the A&or, who lately .retired frum the Stage at Edinburgh,-no v teaches The English Language in that City with great success. '. • PRIPATE CORRESPONDENCE. Paris, Sept. 20. Ix a place where Theatrical Representations est. cite so much interest, it would be unpardonable not to notice them ; but I confess I have been much dis appointed upon this head. The Theatres here are in general dirty,' and among the Audience there are always so many persons ill-dressed, as to take away very much from that brilliant effect which I have often witnesSekin our Londoi. Opera-House. But it muse also,.be confessed, that there is an, attention from the Audience to every syllable which is uttered upon the Stage, very uncommon among us, and which must tend to form good Adors and Actresses. There is one point in which they very far surpass us—in the dress of their Characters ; ancl , KEma LE, who is still here, has probably taken some hints upon the subjea of Costume. Whether it be• more congenial to the present feelings of the people, or whether it proceeds from the taste of the Ft asT Cox. sett, I do not know, but the present rage of the Parisians is for Tragedy. A new Tragedy, or a new Actor or Actress, is the subject of conversa tion at Paris for a month. There are now two De butantes in the higher chara&ers of Tragedy, Mad. DUCHASNOIS and Mad. XAVIER. The first is very young and ugly, but speaks with feeling and with animation. The other possesses a fine figure, and in parts where it is necessary to assume dignity, has some merit. Of course two parties have been formed, and each represent their heroine as the mast perfea Actress the Stage has produced. TALMA is certainly a good Aaor, but in the, representation of pathetic Parts they arc in general very inferior to - us. The Mysteres d' Isis, which is represented at the Opera-House, is one of the most brilliant spec . tacks I ever saw. Mr. WEST," Mr. HOPPNER, Mr. FARINQTONs Mr. FUSEL!, 'and several Members of our Royal Academe, are now here. They are treated with treat respea and attention. The Galleries of Pic:. t ures and Statues, Which are open to the Public two days in the week, are always open to Strangers, so that they have the opportunity of seeing these magnificent works of .Art, perfedly at their ease. The Pictures are said, in general, to have been cleaned judici ously, and to have a better eppearanee than when in Italy ; but the Gallery being lighted at both sides, is unfavourable ; and it is reported to be the intention of the CH; EF CONSUL to stop up the pre sent windows, and light the Gallery from the top. LUCIEX BONAPARTE, who is an Amateur of Paint ing, has suggested this improvement. It is impossible for the Parisians to suppose that they do not live under a Republic„ for the word Re . pOlip,re is written in large .charafters, no tonly upon the Palace of the Thuil ler;es, but upon all the public buildings. The Tree of Liberty too is planted in the Courts of theSe buildings. Very unlike the thing it is to represent, they have generally chosen the tree of the quickest growth, as the 'emblem. of Freedom. The Lombardy Poplar more frequently than any other, has that honourable distindion conferred upon it. I have observed several of these teees: dead; the villages in the environs,of Paris, and little disposition seems to prevail to replace them. Thedevastations which have been made uporOthe Convents and the Churches throughout France, strike an Englishman with • horror. Most of them have either been L:estroyed by the fury of the popu lace, or have been sold as national property for:the value of the materials. .Every person you converse with condemns these proceedings in the strongest terms, andsorne few of the Churches which have not been sold, are now repairing ; but this work proceeds but , slowly, •and, in truth, unless more encouragement is given by the Government than, . at present, to the establishment, of a . ' National Re ligion; it cannot well revive. All public works, of which many BTC nom' tai y are - prrinirted tzr proceed on Sunday, and during Divine Service ;'and the stipends of the Clergy are. so small, as to deter persons of eminence from entering into the Church. The resped due to the ecclesiastical profession is done away. Even in the narrowest and most cit.- - cuinscribed view of Religion, the establishment of it is politic, inasmuch as it has an influence on the morals and conduct of a people. Free thinkers in Religion are those who do not think about it at all, and such appears to be at present the case in France, particularly among the younger part of the commu. nity. It is to . be, hoped that some effedual steps .• will shortly yken upon this Point. • • ' From the birolten- Monuments of the different Churches rlc:r' Paris, particularly from that of St. Denis", 'tlieburial place of the Kings .f .France, a person of : the name of LE Notit has colleted the fragments; and . has . restoredthem with much skill, so : as to produce in general their original effed.— fie has also been fortunate enough to have preserved Some-entire from revolutionary fury.—This forms a most curious and interesting ccilleellon. It is ar ranged accoxding.to the.tiiffemt.centuriei in which these Works were produced, and, when completed, this Colleclion will form not only one of the most amusing, but one of the most useful for the study of Sculptors. This assemblage is formed in what was formerly the Convent of the Petits Augustin:, in the Faubourg St. Germain. DAVID, the Painter, whose condua during the Revolution cannot be considered as worthy of praise, has, however, the merit of having obtained a Decree from the Convert, Lion, which preserved these Monuments of Antiqu i ty from total destralion. It has been thought advantageous, and perhaps even necessary, to employ upon public works a con. siderable number of people ; at Paris, Lyous, Havre, and Boulogne, great works are carrying on. At the latter place, the workmen are deepening the Harbour, the objet of which is, that it may admit the largest Frigates. A Bason also is to be formed to contain a number of small vessels—The Harbour will certainly be improved, but much doubt is entertained of the complete success of this undertaking.—There is hardly sufficient back-water to prevent the Harbour from being frequently in a great degree choaked up. At Paris, several nev Bridges- are to be built —one leading from the Vieux Louvre to the Prytane, is in some forward. ness ; but the greatest work which has been planned, is that of turning the channel of the river °rag, so as to supply the inhabitants of Paris with water. — This is to be begun upon immediately, and, it is estimated, will take three years in the completion. Every body asks who are the persOns most in the confidence of the CHIEF CONSUL—The answer is, that he does almost every thing himself, and hardly consults 'any bcid . y—iToßiiii-is and RGDER ER are supposed, however, to have had a great share in the ,Concordati, and in. the late change. in the Con• stitution; and Ltict EN is the person - in the family most considered by, him. The CHIEF cyNSyl. has po.t been known to shec so marked an attention to any body as to .Mr. For. He has conversed with him familiarly upon many .points relating to Ecgland and its Constitution ; tipon every thing respeding which, he is said to be totally without information. Mr. Fox's Bust is exhibited in the Palace of the Tnuilleries, as it for.. merly was in the Imperial Palace at Petersburgh. It is a singular circumstance in the life of a Great Man, to be respeded in other Nations, and those perhaps not very amicably disposed, more than irf his own. Mr. Fox, however, is delighted with the attentions shewn both to hinuelf and to Mrs. Fox. The latter, it is said, is to be presented to Madame BoNAPARTE, if Madame BotrAPAR.TE de sires this acquaintance. It is a matter of taste, and it would be ill-natured to objed to it; but it is surely too much to exped that the Representative of the KING of GREAT BRITAIN should present person whom His MAJESTY would not receive at his own Court: yet it is reported that this is to be insisted on. Preparations are making for an Illumination which is to take place the Ist Vendemiaire, the beginning of the Republican year. in demolishing a house lately at Dijon, two human bodies were foUnd, the one placed towards the East, -and the other to the West, surrounded:with ashes and charcoal. Their heads were in good preserva.. Lion, and their jaws were still ornamented by very fine teeth. Near them were. found two medals or ,pieces of money, one of which, of pewter, had on one side the Arms of France with the kgend, " Sit nomeni" and'on the other'-a Cross ortter, with the words " Henry Roi de France et de Natvarre.'' The other .coiri,_which was of copper, had on one side a Cross similar to the other, with the legend " Le Seigneur ,est ?Non aide," and on the other all surmounted by a Crown, and surrounded by .F/e4r.df.l s. The bodies are supposed by some to be those of two Religieux of the Village of T a rr, who took refuge in the house in question, in. 1636; and by others, to be the bodies of two persons who died in. the pestilence at Dijon in 1629. Another body was also found in still better preservation, having oti it. a , Medal, which appeared to be onF Of the Lower Empire. • A . renchrnan who lately returned to France frord . ' haying passed three months in England, bent at English Gentleman a note, of which the following is anextra ft ;—" je ne puis vows exprimet mes 'regrets• de ne pouvoir voice plus long reins dans un pays ou l'on jouit de la plus partaite libette, jamais le sou.. venir du.court sejour- que j'ai fait en A:lgleterre a°: seffacera do ma memoire.—je regarde le peupl.
