ACADEMY,
Little-Queen-Street, No. 19, between Nassau and Smith-Streets.
MR. GRAHAM finding that most of his Employers wish to have their Children taught English along with their Writing, Accompts, &c. and being conscious that he cannot do justice to his Scholars, while his mind is distracted by teaching at once a multiplicity of branches of Education, proposes, in compliance with the wishes of his Friends, on the First of May next, to open an Academy for teaching English, Writing, Arithmetic, Book-Keeping and Geography, in a large well-aired House, built for the purpose.
The English Language will be taught Grammatically, and the strictest attention paid to proper Elocution, by Mr. Johnson, a young Gentleman lately from England, who has been for some years in the practice of Teaching. Mr. Johnson has been examined by several Gentlemen of learning and taste in this City, and is warmly recommended by them as well qualified for the charge: and it is hoped, that, by devoting his whole time to the English Scholars, he will soon render them expert, not only in Reading, Speaking, Spelling, Parsing and Construing, but also in Composing Letters and other Pieces.
Mr. Graham will continue as usual to teach Writing in all its various Hands, Arithmetic, Book-Keeping and Geography; and he flatters himself, that, by bestowing all his attention on these Branches, his Pupils will make more proficiency than they have hitherto done.
It is proposed to take a few young Ladies, betwixt the hours of Eleven and One, for Writing, Accompts, English Grammar and Geography.
N. B. A pair of Globes, and a general Atlas, will be provided for the use of the Academy as soon as possible. Mr. Graham returns his most sincere thanks to those Gentlemen who have already honoured him with their employment, and humbly begs the continuance of their Friendship and Patronage.
Any Card or Message sent to the Academy, will be carefully attended to; where the Terms of Teaching may be known. 51

New-York, April 18.
Last Sunday arrived his Britannic Majesty's Packet Sandwich, Capt. Dillon. By her we have received London Papers to the 8th of March; from which the following is extracted:
P E T E R S B U R G H, January 30.
We have received letters containing a very particular and exact detail of the progress of her Imperial Majesty towards her newly-acquired dominions, from whence it appears, that in the five days of her journey she travelled 544 versts, nearly equal to 140 geographical leagues.
Utrecht, March 1. It is supposed, that in the province of Overysel, the entire abolition of the ancient regulation and the introduction of the new one will take place on the twelfth of this month. All the papers relative to the subject are already transmitted to the Prince Stadholder, to which, however, it is supposed his Serene Highness will refuse his concurrence. We every day receive letters giving accounts of new and alarming disorders in the different parts of this Republic.
The officer who had the care of the flag of the States of the Hague whereon some person had the audacity to represent the figure of a gibbet with the Dutch Lion suspended to it, is committed to prison. The soldiers on guard when this act was committed have been interrogated; and both the Council of War and the Court of Justice have offered considerable rewards for discovering the perpetrator of this offence; they have even promised pardon to the person who committed it, on condition of his giving information against those who instigated him to so gross an act of insulting temerity. Nothing is yet decided with respect to the augmentation of the garrison of the Hague.
His Serene Highness has written to the Sheriff of the High and Noble Powers, signifying that the Stadholder is incapable of producing the letters of Messrs Goerts and Thuylemeyer touching the negotiation respecting him, those pieces never having been in his possession, and he being wholly ignorant of their contents.
Extract of a letter from St. Mure, the French Consul in Alexandria, Dec. 7.
"The fame of the Captain Pacha, and the conviction on which the Bays had that he brought an immense army into the country, induced them to retire for safety to Upper Egypt. But as soon as they learned the weakness of his troops, they took courage, rose against the Pacha who were sent to subdue them, and pursued them as far as the gates of Cairo. The Captain Pacha collected all his forces into this place, and sought assistance from every quarter, but he has not dared to attack the Bays in the open field, as their cavalry is far superior to his. From these circumstances, it appears, that the troubles in Egypt are likely to be of long duration."
L O N D O N, February 11.
It is fortunate when men's minds are speedily relieved from the pains of suspense. The Chamber of Manufacturers, who hesitate and doubt after all their deliberations, "are apprehensive that it is intended to renew the Irish propositions, when the present Treaty with France shall be confirmed." So says one of their Resolutions published yesterday. Now it seems to be very fortunate for them, that the same prints which state their apprehensions, state also the means of removing them. "Mr. W. Grenville denied, that in consequence of this Treaty there was any positive necessity for any negotiation with Ireland. He lamented that she had spurned the generous offer which this country had made to her. That infatuated nation, deluded by her Parliament, had rejected a boon, which, in all probability, would never again be tendered to her." Considering the degree of confidence which Ministry put in Mr. Grenville, it may well be supposed that the above words of his must go a great way to remove the apprehensions of the Manufacturers.
Feb. 12. The four regiments of foot which had been ordered for Ireland, and countermanded, have received orders to continue under preparation to embark for foreign service. One of them (which is complete both in officers and men) we hear is to go to Quebec to reinforce the garrisons in the province of Canada, pursuant to a request which had been received from Lord Dorchester, governor general of the British dominions in North-America, who has written home by a late conveyance, signifying, that in the present situation of affairs, and the deranged state of the government of the United States of America in that quarter, it is highly necessary all the British troops there should be complete.
M. Picco, corresponding member of the Royal Society of Medicine, at Paris and Turin, relates an account of six persons who were poisoned by eating of mushrooms, which may be denominated Agaricus Conicus . Four of them died in consequence of their refusal of the remedies that were offered: the other two were restored to health. The cures were performed by emetics; for vomiting, without loss of time, is the principle relief that can be adopted against the corrosive and suppuriscent poison of mushrooms, when followed by the use of softening and mucilaginous substances to correct the impression made on the primæ viæ , and prevent inflammation, which, in such cases generally terminates in a gangrene. In a postscript annexed to this narration M. Picco states the following. "I have received a letter from M. J. Reyconds, dated the 20th of last August, he tells me, that he learned from M. Enoch Superior of the oratory in the seminary of Grenoble, that a family at Ghent, which had been
poisoned by mushrooms, were cured by an infusion of pear-tree leaves drank as tea, having ineffectually tried several other remedies. This reminds me of the great confidence that the ancients who recommended it to those who had suffered by eating of mushrooms."
March 7. The Notables have already voted at the first Committee, the new method of assessing the provinces, and the administration of justice there; and they now have in debate the territorial impost: this is to take its date from the first of January, 1787, and to be in the place of other provincial taxes.
The above impost, it is said, will occasion the Duc d'Orleans to pay 800,000 livers annually, levied on his possessions, from which the great amount of this tax may be guessed.
Two Deputies, one from the merchants of Dantzick, and the other from those of Hamburg, have been nominated in those cities to confer with some of our merchants on commercial affairs, and are soon expected to arrive in this city.
By the result of a consultation yesterday, held at Lord Mansfield's house, the faculty have ordered his Lordship to Bath, and he sets off for that place to-morrow morning.
His Excellency the Imperial Ambassador has lately had private conferences with his Majesty's Ministers, on the subject of admitting the wines of Hungary into the British dominions, on low duty.
The East-India Company have purchased the buildings in Crutched friars, lately employed by Government as the Navy-Office, for the purpose of building warehouses thereon for keeping teas and other goods.
The Master General of the Ordnance has declared that it is the design of France instantly, or as soon as they have completed the enormous works at Cherbourg, to restore the fortifications and bason of Dunkirk, which they are enabled to do by the late Treaty of Peace.
The Minister has at length declared it his intention to make a temporary reduction on the duties on port wines, in such a manner as strictly to comply with the condition of the Methuen Treaty. This conduct speaks the negotiation to be yet pending with our old ally; and that we shall probably owe much gratitude to the discernment of the Portuguese ministry, who, though disgusted by the precipitation of our Cabinet, yet have not lost sight of the material interests of both nations.
A correspondent, well acquainted with the genius and manner of the French nation, says he has not a doubt but that the Commercial Treaty, considered only in a commercial light, will be of service to this country; but at the same time, he is very apprehensive that these Gallic Hands of Amity are held out with a political, yet distant view, of what may in the end, be ruinous to Britain; our commerce with that urbanical nation may tend to polish and enervate us, and perhaps roast beef them; it will wear off that antipathy which has long existed between the two nations at least on our side; we shall be united by intermarriages, and over-run with the refuse of that kingdom. These considerations, he says, give him painful thoughts of what may become fatal to the liberties of this only speck on the globe, where liberty has an abiding place.
By letters from Paris, we are informed of a circumstance which cannot be indifferent to our East India trade. It is said, that the Emperor of Cochin China, having been expelled by an usurper, the son of the dethroned monarch was immediately sent to Pondicherry, to claim the assistance of the French; but as nothing could be done without instructions from the court of Versailles, the young prince had sailed for Europe, and arrived lately at port Lorient, where he was to proceed to Paris. For the aid he implores, he is empowered to offer to government every advantage that can facilitate and increase the French trade in that part of the world.
The Notables have already voted at the first Committee, the new method of assessing the provinces, and the administration of justice there; and they now have in debate the territorial impost: this is to take its date from the 1st of Jan. 1787, and to be in the place of other provincial taxes.
The above impost, it is said, will occasion the Duc d'Orleans to pay 800,000 livres annually, levied on his possessions, from which the great amount of this tax may be guessed.
Whitehall, February 24. The King has been pleased to appoint George Miller, Esq. to be his Majesty's Consul, in the States of North and South Carolina and Georgia, and Deputy Commissary for Commercial affairs to the United States of America.
Translation of the French King's SPEECH, upon opening his Assembly of Notables, on the 22d ult.
Gentlemen, I made choice of you, among the different orders of my estates, and called this meeting, to impart to you my projects. Several of the Kings, my predecessors, acted in the same manner, and chiefly those of my house, whose name is dear to every Frenchman, and whose example I shall always be proud to follow.
Great and very important are the projects, which will be communicated to you from me. To improve the revenues of the state, by a more equal partition of the imposts. To emancipate commerce from the several restraints which prevent its free circulation. To relieve the lowest class of my indigent subjects, as far as the same lies in my power.
Such, gentlemen, are the subjects which I have made my study; and I have resolved upon them, after the maturest deliberation, knowing that all of them tend to the public good, and knowing the zeal with which you are actuated for my service. I do not disdain to consult you upon the execution of them. I will listen to,
and consider with the greatest attention, all the observations you think them susceptible of. I do not doubt but all your advice, tending to the same points, will be united with facility. And I hope no private interest will injure the public one.
The Garde des Sceaux (Keeper of the Seals) next spoke as follows:
His Majesty, ever since his accession to the Throne, has been considering the great interests of his kingdom. It is proved by the events of his reign. All the courts of justice are reinstated in all their original splendor. His fidelity in all the engagements of his predecessors. The navy established. The liberty of the seas asserted. A solid peace concluding an honourable war. Trade protected; and enlarged by treaties. Agriculture encouraged. Peace ensured to Europe, by the apparatus of power, and by wile mediation. Such is the picture which ought to inspire the nation which the greatest confidence and gratitude. But it was left to His Majesty to cure the evils which afflicted His Royal heart; and go before the wants of all his people with the desire he felt always to relieve them. His Majesty, from the beginning of his reign, has shown, by the economy in his household, his love for his subjects. The projects ordered to be communicated to this assembly will be a new testimony of it. His Majesty hopes with confidence for the observations of every class of this meeting, which will show equally their zeal and their gratitude.
Addressing himself to the Clergy, he said, Learned Ministers of Religion, which his Majesty will ever protect! You have formerly spilled your blood for the defence of the country. You are illustrious by the noble deeds of your ancestors. You always tender the wisdom of your advice when his Majesty is pleased to call you to his councils.
Addressing himself to the Magistrates, he said, Magistrates, whose functions are most essential to the royal prerogative, and who have the noble right to lay before the throne the wants of the people.
Addressing himself to the Deputies, he said, You, the Deputies, from the several parts of the kingdom; you will all concur to support the paternal affection of his Majesty towards the nation, and be distinguished by the reciprocal love of the sovereign and the subject.
SPEECH of the Archbishop of Narbonne. If it had been in our power to have foreseen this event, somebody should raise his voice in this Assembly, to tender thanks and respectful duty to your Majesty: and the first order of your kingdom should have gloried in being the foremost. We beg your Majesty to give us leave to lay at your feet, the first impression our hearts are filled with, by the august spectacle of this assembly; and above all, the warm and respectful gratitude, which it inspires for the Sovereign, who has condescended to convene it and prende over it.
A Committee was afterwards chosen, at which Count d'Artois presided; and which be opened with the following speech.
Gentlemen, You are going to examine, minutely, the important projects, upon which the King is pleased to consult you. I know your zeal, your patriotism, and I do not doubt but you will give the most distinguishing marks of both in a circumstance so interesting. French-men as you are, subjects as you are, I will answer to the trust, the King, my brother has committed to us, with such entire frankness and for our submission to all the orders which he will be pleased to give us, in order to promote the happiness of his people and the glory of his reign.
Gentlemen, All these sentiments are so deeply printed in your hearts, that I do not think, I ought to attempt to excite them in you.
We have the pleasure to inform the Public, that the Right Reverend Dr. Provost, Bishop of this State, whose life has for some days past been despaired of, is now pronounced to be out of danger.

Treaty of Commerce and Navigation with France.
(Continued from our last.)
Thus, he said, he had gone through the whole of the Right Hon. Gentleman's arguments as systematically as the vague and incoherent manner in which they were delivered would permit him. In answer to his first argument, that a full attendance was necessary on so very important occasion, he had shown, that a Call was unnecessary to procure such attendance. To the second, that a further delay was necessary; he had answered by proving, that there had been already sufficient time to deliberate, and sufficient notice for preparation. And, as to the argument drawn from the pending state of the Treaty with Portugal, he had fairly stated how that negotiation rested, and had pledged himself to meet the Right Hon. Gentleman on the ground, and on the principles he had laid down concerning it. Those three were the only heads of argument used by the Right Hon. Gentleman, that could, in any degree, or with any colour, apply to the point in debate; and he should be satisfied at the refutation he had given them, were it not for certain additions and embellishments with which the Right Hon. Gentleman had interspersed his speech, partly in the shape of rebukes, and partly of admonitions to him; to them he must give some answer. The Right Hon. Gentleman had reflected on him for his precipitation and rashness in pushing forward his measures without due deliberation, and had admonished him, no doubt, with great finery and benevolence, to avoid bringing this matter to so speedy a determination for fear of consequences, which though he had sufficient vigour of imagination to foresee, he yet had not discrimination or accuracy enough to enumerate and describe. But what did the Right Hon. Gentleman mean to consider as precipitation and rashness? Did he hold it to be precipitate and rash to proceed, after more than four months public notoriety, to debate and determine on a measure, by which the attention of the whole nation was engaged, and in which the wishes and the interests of those concerned were most materially involved? Did he call this precipitation and rashness? He remembered the time when the Right Hon. Gentleman did not judge in the same way in which it would now appear he did. When he had the misfortune of sitting on the last now occupied by the R. Hon. Gent. he had, he said, an opportunity of making his observations on his disposition, and the principles by which he was governed on questions that required the most consummate deliberation. He remembered the Right Hon. Gentleman to have introduced on the third day of the session, a measure, which, from its novelty, (a great cause of censure at present with the Right Hon. Gentleman) from its magnitude, from its obvious effects, and from the terror and alarm with which it filled every thinking mind in the kingdom, seemed eminently entitled to a most deliberate discussion, and a most minute investigation—a measure which, as if conscious of its own malignity, had crept under darkness, had shrunk even from a whisper, and until that day had never been heard of in public. And yet to this measure the Right Hon. Gentleman in the plenitude of his power and the ardour of his mind refused to allow that delay, which, even on the most trivial and ordinary occasions the forms of the House had rendered necessary! A measure which violated every principle of the constitution, overturning the established maxims of Government, unhinging the functions of the executive authority, setting up a new and most destructive power in the state, and trampling without any concern or reflection on the private property of individuals! A measure, in short, which had stigmatized its authors with universal odium, and would hand them down to posterity as objects of everlasting reproach! Such was the measure, which, without examination, without even a pause or almost a day's consideration, had been crammed down the throats of that House by the Right Hon. Gentleman. At that time he endeavoured by argument, by persuasion, by entreaty and deprecation, to restrain the Right Hon. Gentleman from the ungovernable rashness by which he seemed actuated, but it had no effect. Here he stated the different periods of the several stages of Mr. Fox's East India Bill in its progress through the House, and his own attempts to repress the rapidity with which it was pressed forward. Shortly after, he said, he had changed his seat in that House, but he had brought with him his principles: But the Right Hon. Gentleman had appeared to have most strangely altered his principles, and was ready, in his present situation, to give, on all occasions, even where the spirit of it could not apply, that advice which, in cases of the most obvious necessity, he had himself haughtily and superciliously rejected. For his own part, neither had the Right Hon. Gentleman's arguments been able to convince him—his rebukes to intimidate—or his admonitions to alarm him, but he should, with the consent of the House, go into the consideration of the Treaty on Monday next, with a mind free from anxiety, and perfectly conscious that no reasonable time for deliberation had been refused, no necessary information had been withheld, and no precaution had been overlooked that could tend to make the Treaty in the most eminent degree salutary and permanent.
Mr. Martin, after apologizing for rising, declared, that so far from being of opinion that a Call of the House was necessary, he should have very little confidence in those Members who would not attend their duty in that House, when a measure of so much importance was to come under consideration, without the enforcement of a Call. Mr. Martin proceeded to notice the Treaty, which, he said, he was inclined to approve coming to the deliberation of next Monday, and that although he did not mean to preclude himself from giving any opinion that might suggest itself to him in the course of the subsequent discussion of it, he was ready to acknowledge, that he saw no manner of objection to breaking through ancient prejudices, and entering into a Commercial Connexion with a liberal, civilized, and powerful neighbouring nation, with a view to promote a lasting harmony between the two countries, and render a war less probable; on the contrary he thought such a measure so grounded, a laudable act of Government.
Mr. Francis desired to have it understood in what light the Meehuen Treaty was to be affected by the Commercial Treaty with France, and contended, that the true state of that matter was extremely material to be known. Were they to collect from the Right Hon. Gentleman, that the French Treaty was to be discussed and decided upon, without considering the Meehuen Treaty as done away, or as if it were no longer to exist? Another point had fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman, which Mr. Francis wished to say a word or two upon, was the India Bill of his
Right Hon. Friend. He had not been in Parliament when that Bill had been brought in, but he pretty well knew what passed upon it. That Bill had been complained of as an open and avowed stretch of power, justified by those who framed it by the necessity of the case. What was the Bill of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite to him? An insidious trick upon the Company, who now complained that the Right Hon. Gentleman had STOLEN that, which his Right Hon. Friend professed to take in the face of day. Mr. Francis added, that he hoped every East India Proprietor would on Wednesday next shew his sense of the Bill, by his attendance and vote.
Mr. Wilbraham said, the strongest argument in favour of the amendment, had fallen from the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the course of his speech, who had declared the Methuen Treaty was done away by the French Treaty. Mr. Wilbraham asked, if the Portuguese would not have a right to put an immediate stop to the importation of our Woollen Manufactures with Portugal, as soon as the French Treaty received the sanction of Parliament? He said, he lamented it, as a fatal blow to our commerce. He observed that our manufacturers felt joy and triumph, when they heard that the manufactures would have a vent in France, but surely that joy and triumph would be converted into lamentation and sorrow, when they heard that the exportation of their goods to Portugal was stopped. He stated the great advantages of that trade in various points of view, and particularly in respect to the navigation and the nursery for our seamen, that it afforded, a great number of our vessels being employed in it, and above 5000 seamen. Mr. Wilbraham added other arguments to prove that the loss of our trade with Portugal was of most serious importance.
Mr. Burke made a long and rather an extraordinary speech. He began with stating that the Treaty with France was not to be regarded as a simple Commercial Treaty. That it was not unrelative to other and higher considerations; that it bore strongly upon the political interests of the country, and must necessarily affect them deeply. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, he said, with that narrowness that led men of narrow minds, to look at great objects in a confined point of view, regarded the Treaty and wished it to be regarded as a mere commercial consideration. Such men, when in power, converted large cities into small villages, while those of a more noble and more liberal way of thinking acted on a greater scale, and changed small villages into great cities. The Right Hon. Gent. had that day talked of the Treaty as the affair of two little counting houses, and not of two great countries. He seemed to think it was the sign of Flower de Lis, and the sign of the Red Lion contending with each other, which House should obtain the best custom. Such paltry considerations were below his notice, but it was a serious thing to hear that Portugal was not to be held in view, in the discussion of the Treaty. That was a new and an alarming circumstance, and ought to be generally understood by the people, before their Representatives gave a decisive vote on the Treaty. The Right Hon. Gentleman had ridiculed the idea of consulting their constituents. He begged to ask, had the manufacturers, of whose acquaintance the Right Hon. Gentleman seemed so sure, been told that the trade to Portugal was to be the price of the trade to France? Where were they apprized of this? In what Hall was the Meeting held? [Mr. Burke delivered this with great vehemence.] In regard to a mere commercial view of the Treaty with France, perhaps, he said, his opinion was pretty much the same with that of the manufacturers, as to the immediate effect of the Treaty. But he should never think of consulting them as to the policy of the measure, and its probable political effect on our ancient connections. We were about to truckle and to join ourselves with that Power, against which nature designed us a balance. From observations of this kind, Mr. Burke proceeded to retort on Mr. Fox for his severity of animadversion on Mr. Fox. When animadversion was accompanied with wit, he said, the satire was softened though severe; but when gross, miserable, and stupid abuse made up the whole of what was urged by way of admonition, the effect was lost, and the shaft recoiled on the person who threw it. The R. Hon. Gentleman had declared he had the misfortune to sit a short time, where his Right Hon. Friend then sat. He had spoken feelingly, no doubt; the situation on that side of the House was irksome to an aspiring young man, always ill at ease but when in the possession of power and profit. It was wonderful that that Right Hon. Gentleman mounted on high, and enjoying the favour of Heaven, would condescend to look down on such low creatures as they were. Mr. Burke advanced a variety of similes upon the contrast between the two sides of the House, who were, he said in a light indeed of each other, but there was a dreadful gulph between. He talked of the Right Hon. Gentleman as having mounted the Pegasus on which he exhibited with his merry men about him, by means of a little ladder contrived for the purpose by a state carpenter, and placed behind, by which he could secretly climb aloft. He spoke of the Ministerial coalition with great severity, and handled the individuals roughly; he said they were the odds and ends, the scraps stolen from a great merchant's warehouse, to furnish out a pedlar's box. They had proved themselves to be slaves, by turning fugitives, and running away. He paid Lord North many compliments, and talked of the consistency of his conduct and the firmness of his respectable adherents, instancing Mr. Ellis, who sat near him, and justifying the junction between Lord North's party and that of Mr. Fox. After a variety of allusions of this sort, much whim and some wit, he sat down.
Mr. Wilberforce replied, and began with lamenting, that a Gentleman of such abilities would suffer his temper to run away with him, and betray him into a sort of argument that he could not but be sorry that he had used, as soon as he grew cool and reflected on what he had said. Mr. Wilberforce declared he had heard the Hon. Gentleman speak in his better days, when stupidity and abuse were not substituted for wit and argument. With regard to the Motion, he said, in his opinion, it either asked too little or too much. A week could not be a sufficient delay, if delay were necessary, or it must be too great a delay. In explanation of this Mr. Wilberforce stated, that he had understood that his own constituents were perfectly satisfied with the Treaty; and they had informed him as much, even before he had made up his own mind upon it. He was, however, then prepared to say, that he was ready to give his consent to the Treaty, even if upon examination it should be found, that its effect was ultimately likely to connect this country and France politically. Mr. Wilberforce added other arguments in favour of the Treaty.
Mr. Burke rose to justify himself from the representation of the Hon. Gentleman, and appealed to the
House, whether he ever had been the first to deal in personalities within these walls. He reminded the House, that the Right Hon. Gent. had that day begun with a personal attack on his Right Honourable Friend.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer rose to speak to two points, and first with regard to what had just fallen from the R. Hon. Gentleman. He was, in the judgement of all present, whether a speech more replete with abuse, more personal, more gross, or more outrageous, even than that Right Hon. Gentleman had ever delivered, and consequently more outrageous than ever had been delivered by any man in that House, had ever been heard. The Right Hon. Gentleman's temper was gone with his character, and he believed, he was now rarely heard there without incurring an equal mixture of disgust and compassion.
Mr. Fox rose to remind the Right Hon. Gentleman that he had spoken only to one point. [Mr. Fox said in a former part of the debate, that he had heard it reported, that the Minister sent to negotiate the Treaty with Portugal, had received a definitive and decisive negative a fortnight before he left the Court of Lisbon, he wished to know, therefore whether the negotiation was not closed and at an end.]
The Chancellor of the Exchequer rose again and declared, that the Negotiation with Portugal was not closed, but was as open and as capable of continuance as ever.
Mr. Fox said, the Right Hon. Gentleman's last speech but one, complaining of his friend, had been delivered with apparent calmness, and studied solemnity, but with what temper of mind, the matter and the manner of it spoke abundantly, and shewed that the Right Hon. Gentleman, whatever he might excite of other feelings, did not merit much compassion from that side of the House. Mr. Fox desired to know whether it was on this condition that we now stood with Portugal, viz. that the Court of Lisbon would not treat with us after the Treaty with France should receive the sanction of Parliament, unless we previously reduced the duties on Portugal wines one third?
Mr. Burke, in a short speech, declared, he thanked the Right Hon. Gentleman for his compassion, and he deemed the obligation the higher, as he had so very little compassion to spare. As to his contempt, as that was what the Hon. Gentleman dealt largely in, he would return it upon his hands as a commodity of no sort of value. Mr. Burke decorated the little he said, with a quotation from Milton, which we did not distinctly hear.
The Question was then put, and the House divided. Ayes 213—Noes 89.

THE RECLUSE LOVER.  YE wild waving woods that now closing your shade, Now wantonly parting, disport with the beam; Thou river, whose current refreshes the mead, And you, ye rude ruins, that shadow his stream.  Ye flocks, that hang white on the side of yon hill, Ye herds, who beneath crop the grass of the vale, Ye that chirp in the hedge, or skim light on the rill, Or fluttering give your gay wing to the gale;  Sweet inspirers of thought, and thou sweetest, thou Dove, Whose silver plumes shinest thro' the boughs of the tree, Escap'd from the cage, and away from thy love, All silent and sad, a companion to me.  Ah! why, as I gaze on the landscape around, Why suddenly starts the fond tear to my eye! Tho' smiling each object, and cheerful each sound, Why steals from my bosom the sorrowing sigh.  Enchant the fair scenes, 'till enraptur'd I find, That sweetest oblivion the Muses bestow, 'Till the sun-shine that glides shall heighten my mind, And my fancy forget that my heart has a woe!  So free may ye flourish, fair scenes, as ye rise, So still be your charms by simplicity grac'd, In native luxuriance be pleas'd and surprise, Nor by folly be fashion'd, nor tortur'd by taste.  So, when the glad seasons their blessings shall yield, And Ceres enrich you, and Flora adorn, May the labourer's laugh Echo loud in the field, And the breeze whisper soft thro' the mellowing corn.  And so, when the evenings mild glories decline, And fade from the sky, the last blushes of light, Un sullied and cloudless, may bright Cynthia shine, E'er yet you are hid by the envious night.  And whilst her fair form glitters bright in the flood, And sheds on its bosom a tremulous ray, 'Tis the tops of the hill, gilds the gloom of the wood, And softens each beauty that glar'd in the day.  A night, such as this, following PHILOMEL's voice, As she sings her sweet song to the list'ning air, Sequester'd from crowds, or by chance or by choice, To this bower should some gentle spirit repair.  Whilst tenderness breathes in the nightingale's strain; To tenderness tun'd, as delighted they stray, This verse may they see, if this verse should remain, Nor heedlessly turn from a wanderer's lay.  Perhaps they will deem him neglected, forlorn, As they mark how mournful his numbers all flow; Of fortune the sport, or of beauty the scorn, Conjecture his sorrows, and pity his woe.  Ah! no, let them envy his happier fate, Let them envy the youth that to Harriet is dear; Nor wish he was wealthy, nor wish he was great, Whose poverty proves that her love is sincere!

Christopher Lewis Lente,  At his Store, No. 39, Hanover-Square, HAS for SALE, a very large assortment of Groceries, Confectionaries, Wines & other bottled Liquors, &c. which were all purchased for ready Money, and will dispose of them on very reasonable Terms. He is determined not to sell any thing out of his Store but for Cash being paid on delivery of the Goods, having considerable Sums of outstanding debts, which puts it out of his power to give Credit any longer. All Orders from the Country will be punctually attended to, but no goods will be sent unless the Cash or Produce is at the same time sent.

THE Subscriber took the liberty of informing the public, some time ago, that he had obtained a NOSTRUM for all CANCEROUS, SCROFULOUS, and INVETERATE ULCEROUS CASES.—The modesty of his advertisement, and his apparent diffidence of the Medicines, has, he is well assured, deterred many persons labouring under the above complaints from applying for relief. As he has had an opportunity of giving the Medicines a fair trial on many persons in and about this city, who have experienced its happy effects, and its proving invariably successful, he thinks himself warranted to assert with confidence, that the improvements he has, from his professional knowledge, been enabled to make in the Medicines, and mode of application, has put it in his power to engage a perfect cure in all the above cases, except where the great age or bad habit of body of the patient is such as to preclude a hope of success—which, wherever it occurs, will be readily acknowledged—as the disinterested motive of demanding no pay where no cure is performed, will deter him from engaging when there is no prospect of succeeding.
