FROM Edinburgh, lately from Paris,
teacher of Hebrew, &c. language*-, au

Political, and Theological Svftcms, trom the
creation of the world to the present time, &c.
He will begin this second course of Lectures
Kcbru ry 27th, at 6 o'clock in the evening, in
the Friends' grammar school room, 4tU street,
and will finifh it in a month.—The idea of it
wasfngtjefted'by some Ladies for the improve
ment of the sex—but it is calculated for both
fexe* (of any age above childhood) whereby
they will discover a new world in nature,
concealed from others as a fine country is
<r*4n travellers in the night, and as the light,
a»*d the appearanee of nature is from the
b'ind; this will be a new I'cene of enjoyment
and delighr, as that of feeing is to one born
blind, and will teach rhein to acquire the
per use of their faculties, as a child does that
of his limb« by learning to walk this will
elevate them to a PhilofopKical region of fub
litne enjoyments and rational pleasures, as
much superior lo the pleasures and amuse
ments of others as a man is to a child in fla
ture, and which will endure the (hock of a*U
veiiity, and not forfake ihem like others, in
affliction and old age ; as the use and end of
all real knowledge is pradtice and happiness,
ihis course will tend to promote personal hap
piness, and fit for the duties of society, one
part of it will be on the preservation of health
of body and serenity of mind, without which
riches can afford noenjoyment: tboie who ot>-

Our anarchy men, pretend that they
would have the People strong and the Go
vernment weak. They are against the
Government, that n clear. They are a
gaiaft the People, that is equally clear.
Witness, their fchiemes the summer past.
They tried their utmost to counteract the
President's wife measures. A feeble go
vernment, or a feeble spirited man would
have been borne down and swept into hos
tile measures. Tufcany and Genoa, shew
this truth by their example. Poland has
ever been played upon in like manner. The
crazy mifrulc of Clubs would make this
Country the prize or more properly the
sire-ship of foreign incendiaries. We owe
our peace to the energy of our magistra
cy.
A federal government fays a correfpen
dent, in the General Advertiser, would
ruin France, because the royal faction
would throw tHemselves into one or more
of the federate republics, and thereby
the whole would Gnk under its enemies.
Mr. Genet's game of bringing a state into
play against the Union, looks federsl.
The tendency and the design were plain,
yet our faction juftified the ast and the a
geot, and that paper is devoted somewhat
remarkably to the vindication of the of
fender. Men have loft their lives in France
for only Mating what was done here. It
is proper to mtrk this circumstance, as it
mark* men.

TAKES thi* opportunity of returning his
grateful thank* to his former employers,
and requcfting their future favors, at well as
those of the public in general.
He has for sale, several carriages almost

one or two horses, and a fulkey with a falling

Formerly Keeper of the City Tavern, and

RESPECTFULLY informs his Friends and

nift a TABLE for Parties, with the best provi
sions the Markets afford, at any hour, oa the

this line of bufmefs, he flatters himfelf he (hall
be able to give fatista&ion to all who may please
to favor him with their company.
He continues to make and repair at the

such as coaches, chariots, phtttons with and
without crane necks, coachees, chaises, kitte

brvad.
4t The priests, (said he) whose altars are built
on the human Ikulls, are capable of every
crime ; they make use of poison to fatisfy their
revenge ; and if you do not take care, tlicy
will work miracles. They will poison the
warmefl patriots, burn the commons house and
the national treasury, they will spring mines,
renew a gunpowder plot ; and when their
vitftims ihall pcrilh by fire, sword, and poison,
then will cry out—lt is heaven that punilhes
them.
He moved the council to declare, that if any
commotion is stirred up in favour of fanaticifm
that all the clcrgy (hail be imprisoned. (Ap
plauded.) And considering that the people of
Paris, have declared, that they acknowledge no
other worfoip than that of reason and truth,
the council refoived :
i ft, That all the churches and temples of
different religions and worship which are known
to be in Paris {hall be instantly (hut.

Chaumctte praifcd the people of Paris who
have renounced idolatry, and only adore the
Supreme Being ; but he was apprehensive left
the clergy should still ensnare the good citi
zens.
Chaumette— u The jundlion of eur armies
was happily effe&ed at La Vendee. The rebels
are now fliut up as in a rat trap ; if they (hou'd
escape from thence, let us all exclaim, treason !
treaibn ! Let us ail rife together, and call for
the punishment of the traitors—we are threat
ened—the women ef the town are turning de
votee!. They are paid by the priesthood. Not
daring to carry on openly their infamous trade,
they go into th« churches and pray. They are
anxious to create scenes of horror, and ihed more
blood in the streets of Faris, and renew with
the priests St. Bartholemew's day. He enume
rated all the misfortunes occasioned by fanatic
cifm in La Vendee, where the Ruftians, with
therofaryin hand, aftaflinated our brothers,
and threw them into the fire."
