A considerable number of evening schools have been opened lately in France, for the purpose of teaching the English language, in consequence of the new treaty of commerce.
Extract of a letter from Paris.
"The King being lately at the play, during the representation of a piece called Le Roi Theodore , translated from the Italian; when they came to one part where that King of Corsica was at Venice, and could not get away because he had not money enough to pay for his lodgings, a person in some part of the play house imprudently called out, Il faut faire assembler les Notables . "Let an assembly of the principal people be called." They were going to lay hold of him, but the King ordered them to let him alone. He looked upon the insolent allusion as below notice, as every one must know that the Assemblée des Notables , is by no means held on account of the necessities either of the sovereign or the state, but entirely from views of humanity and justice, which will cover those with shame and confusion who have given it out that it was only a specious pretence in his Majesty to call such an assembly together, particularly a public waiter, who, though born in France, has rendered himself very contemptible, by saying that France must be very sick indeed, so tender it is necessary to consult 140 physicians ."
"Tribb bulls are as common here as in London; the Gascans are famous for them; and even the witty Parisians themselves now-and-then suffer, inadvertently, a few to escape them. A certain Magistrate of this capital, before whom Cagliostro was examined previously to his commitment to the Bastille, on the latter's saying, "his enemies reported his having declared that he was living at the time of Pompey's murder," very gravely remarked, that Pompey's murder must have been perpetrated in his predecessor's time, for he remembered nothing of the transaction; nay, he had not even heard, till then, since he had been in office, the name of that unfortunate gentleman mentioned; nor could he recollect the least particular respecting his tragical end. This same laconic minister of justice, hearing the other evening at a Coffee-House, that the new society for conveying goods to any part of the town, had given uniforms and badges to their men, in imitation of those given by the London insurance-offices to their firemen, very shrewdly said, "I thing it would not be amiss to dress the spies of our police in the same manner."
"M. Nicolet has given some curious experiments on apples in the air-pump, and the production of air thereby, &c. and has had the honor of being presented at Versailles. This ingenious gentleman has also made a solution of iron in la pomme d'api , which proves an admirable chalybeate."

The interests of public
Rock, reimbursed into the treasury at different times, and not yet cancelled, amount to about 300,000."

UNITED STATES.
PHILADELPHIA, June 28.
The present Federal Convention, says a correspondent, is happily composed of men who are qualified from education, experience and profession for the great business assigned to them.
The principles, the administration or executive duties of government will be pointed out by those gentlemen who have filled or who now fill the offices of first magistrate in several of the States—while the commercial interests of America will be faithfully represented and ably explained by the mercantile part of the Convention. These gentlemen are assembled at a most fortunate period—in the midst of peace—with leisure to explore the perfections or defects of all the governments that ever existed—with passions uncontrolled by the recent contests and prejudices kindled by the late war—and with a variety of experiments before them of the feebleness, tyranny, and licentiousness of our American forms of government.
Under such circumstances, it will not be difficult for them to frame a Federal Constitution that will suit our country. The present Confederation may be compared to a hut or tent, accommodated to the emergencies of war—but it is now time to erect a castle of durable materials, with a tight roof and substantial bolts and bars to secure our persons and property from violence, and external injuries of all kinds. May this building rise like a pyramid upon the broad basis of the people! and may they have wisdom to see, that if they delegate a little more power to their rulers, the more liberty they will possess themselves, provided they take care to secure their sovereignty and importance by frequent elections, and rotation of offices.
To be of consequence to the public, observes a correspondent, a man should be amiable in private life; and whoever would punish the faults of another, should first qualify himself to prosecute by amending his own. Cromwell, in his family, as well as in the field, resembled a Spartan; having no vices of his own, he was authorised to give no quarter to those of others. Whoever, therefore, whether friend or foe to those in power, would be thought to consult the welfare of Pennsylvania, let them endeavour to arrest to put a stop to the licentious manners of the times; let them correct, if possible, the extravagance of youth, and the venality of age: It is from these two fatal springs the venom flows that will destroy our political prosperity; and, unless these are purified, we can never hope for a thorough cure.
New-York, July 6.
The Eleventh Anniversary of the Independence of the States of America, was on Wednesday the 4th instant, celebrated in this City. All ranks appeared anxious to testify their joy on this anniversary of that important era, when the august BAND OF PATRIOTS who then composed the Continental Congress, signed that solemn instrument the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE .
The Day was ushered in by the beating of drums, and the ringing of bells.
At sunrise the Artillery, Grenadiers and Light-Infantry, of General Malcom's brigade, under the command of Major Christie, marched to the Race-Ground, where they were reviewed;—they performed their several firings and manœuvres with applause.
At twelve o'clock a federal salute was fired, amid the incessant ringing of bells, upon the battery, and in the Fields by the Brigade-Artillery, Grenadiers, and Light-Infantry, who formed a line for that purpose.
At four o'clock, the officers of the Brigade sat down to a handsome dinner, at Mr. Corre's, where thirteen Patriotic Toasts were drank, and the day closed with festivity and good humour.
At twelve the Cincinnati assembled at the City-Hall, where a great number of Ladies and Gentlemen were admitted to be spectators of the ceremonies of the day, and to be auditors to a most excellent oration, delivered with great energy and fervency, by the Hon. Robert R. Livingston, Esq. Chancellor of the State; and a pleasing and well adapted address to Col. Henry Livingston and Gen. Floyd, on their admission into the Society, by Morgan Lewis, Esq. Lieut. Col. of the militia of this city.
After the various ceremonies were performed, the Society moved in a procession to the Fort, where tents were erected, under which they partook of a cold collation, and drank thirteen toasts in honor of the day; spending some happy moments in remembrance of those toilsome and dangerous days wherein they distinguished themselves as the friends of their country, and the valuable supporters of the rights of mankind. Their conviviality was marked with true decency and decorum, descriptive of that order and good government for which they contended; & each, animated by the appearance of those countenances which were familiar to him in the time of danger, felt those effusions of friendship which were remarkable in a brotherly and soldierly conduct.
That respectable body, the Chamber of Commerce, assembled at the Merchants Coffee-House, where this anniversary was also celebrated with a genuine spirit of conviviality and joy.
We cannot close the account of the celebrations of that day, without mentioning the genteel conduct of Captain FOURNIER, Commander of the French Packet, now lying in the harbour. At day-break his vessel fired the federal salute; his ship was immediately after dressed out in an elegant manner, and at noon he again answered the salute from the Fort, first with thirteen, and afterwards with twenty-one guns.
The Society of the Cincinnati of this State, have admitted as an honorary member, the Marquis de Bouille, Governor of the island of Martinique, and Commander in Chief of the armies of his Most Christian Majesty in the West-India islands.
Who can calmly reflect on the American Revolution , and not be convinced of its importance—a revolution which clearly demonstrates that PATRIOTISM and UNANIMITY can almost effect miracles—a revolution which has not only given the blessings of freedom to this Western World; but has enlightened nearly all Europe, with respect to the natural rights of mankind.
Extract of a letter from Barcelona, March 15.
"There are upwards of 1000 artificers now employed at the Catholic King's arsenal and cannon foundry in this city, which is one of the principal curiosities in Spain. These are all busied in casting cannon, for which there are two separate laboratories, one for iron, the other for brass; in the last there is an immense quantity of cannon and mortars brought from different fortresses to be re-cast."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Boston, to his correspondent in Philadelphia, June 18.
"The publications in your papers respecting the funding systems have all been reprinted in our city, and the accurate and just reasonings contained in them have convinced all classes of our citizens, except Tories and speculators. We know not, as yet, the part our new rulers will take with our debts, but I am sure, if they are not put on another footing, we must be ruined. The debt of this country (contracted by ignorance, and greatly accumulated by fraud) is far above the ability of our country to discharge at its nominal value. Something is due to the States, as well as to speculators. While they din our ears with the praises of public faith, we should listen to the claims of strict and simple justice. The United States may do Amis justice to every certificate holder, and yet strike off a third or fourth of the demands that are made against them. The annual interest of our federal debt, if paid, would require all the money in our country to pass through the treasury once every two years. Now, surely, no country could bear this monstrous taxation. The case of Great-Britain paying off some of her depreciated notes does not apply to the present circumstances of this country; any more than a man who is worth 5000l. and pays a debt of 1000l. does to the case of a man who is worth 5000l. and owes a debt of 15000l. The swishest , and only thing such a man could do is to call his creditors together, and pay them 6/8 in the pound—nor will he injure any of them, if he finds out that none of them gave a higher price for his bonds or notes. The case of the United States is exactly similar to what I have stated. The friends of the funding systems, when we complain of our taxes, tell us of our fine feathers, and dinners, and other acts of extravagance; but for my part, I see no more of these things now, than I did before the war, when we got rich and were happy. Indeed, I think there is much less of them, and more industry in many parts of our country than ever. But men are alike, it seems, in all countries. Our speculators, like the Egyptian task-masters, have learned to cry out—'ye are idle—ye are idle.'—Feathers, feasts, and coaches, are the exclusive pleasures and privileges of men who draw from 20 to 60 per cent. from their country."
The following were intended for our last, but omitted for want of room.
The King of France's Speech, to the Assembly of Notables, at Paris, on Monday the 23d of April, 1787.
GENTLEMEN,
"I HAVE seen, with satisfaction, your zeal in the examination of the three first parts of the plan which I had caused to be communicated to you, for the re-establishment of order in my finances."
"I have already examined part of the observations you have made, and I will give the most serious attention to the whole. I have given orders to draw up a law relative to provincial assemblies; I will preserve to the two first orders of the state, the precedence which they have always had in the national assemblies, and their constitution shall be such as shall give them the activity necessary to administer well the affairs which I shall confide to them."
"I am satisfied with the readiness with which the Archbishops and Bishops have declared that they pretend not to any exemption from the contribution to public expenses; and I will hearken to the representations of the assembly of the Clergy, on that which may concern its forms, and on the means which it shall propose to me for the reimbursement of its debts."
"I will examine carefully the ideas which have been given to the abolition of the Gabelle (the excise upon salt, the offices where it is sold); and I shall look upon that day as a happy one for me, on which I shall be able to abolish the name of so distasteful an impost."
"In that which I have communicated to you, gentlemen, I have not concealed from you the difference I found between the receipt and the expense; and you will see the unhappy proof of it in the statements which I ordered to be made out, and which were given to the residents of the offices; the mass of this deficiency must appear frightful at first sight, and it is to find the means of remedying it, that I have called you together."
"I am firmly resolved to use the most efficacious means to do away the present deficiency, and to prevent its happening in any other case."
"I know that one of the best means to arrive at this, is to introduce order and economy into the different branches of the revenue. I will seek in the amelioration of my domains, and in other improvements, the means of diminishing the impost to which circumstances oblige me to have recourse. I have already commanded several retrenchments of expenses to be made, and others are projected which will successively take place; I hope at first to make them amount to fifteen millions of livres, without diminishing that which is essential to the welfare of the state, and the honor of the crown; of which I know Frenchmen to be more jealous than I can be myself."
"The memoirs which are going to be laid before you offer several efficacious means of covering a part of the deficiency."
"1st. A stamp duty, which by its nature will be almost insensible to the poorest part of my subjects."
"Measures to be taken to fulfil the engagements entered into, relative to re-imbursments, at stipulated periods; engagements which I looked upon as sacred, and I will never fail in them; but they may be fulfilled by means which, in truth, will operate the liquidation of the debts of the state in a less speedy manner: but these will not require such heavy imposts."
"All these means united, not being sufficient to cover totally the deficiency, the last, and that which is the most painful to me to make use of, is an augmentation of the land tax; the only manner of rendering it the least burthensome, and which has already been perceived by the assembly, is to divide it in the most equal manner, and make it to fall on every land proprietor without exception. This tax cannot be determined with respect to its duration, but by the sum of the deficiency which shall remain to be recovered after the employment of the means which I have just indicated."
"Such are the important objects, gentlemen, which I wished to communicate to you; you will perceive how essential it is to consider them immediately; the mischiefs which have been discovered are great, and must have caused inquietude in the minds of the public; but I am not afraid of communicating them to the assembly which I have convoked; assured that it will give me, on this occasion, a new proof of its seal and fidelity. The honor of France, and from which my own is inseparable, is in question; and to shew to the universe the advantage which I have of commanding a faithful and powerful nation, whose resources, like its love for its King, are inexhaustible."
Friday last the Convention of the Clergy and Lay Deputies of the Episcopal church within this State, which had convened on Wednesday before last, adjourned to meet again, at this place, in November next.
In the morning, previous to the adjournment, the Right Rev. Doctor Provost, Bishop of the Episcopal church of this State, was inducted into his office in St. Paul's chapel.
From the house of the Bishop, a procession moved in the following order:—
Charity Scholars. Members of the Episcopal Church. Gentlemen of the Vestry of Trinity Church. Lay Delegates of the Convention.
The Clergy.
As the procession entered the Chapel, the Charity Scholars sang an Anthem adapted to the occasion.
The morning service was then read by the Rev. Mr. Rowland; after which the Clergy and Lay Deputies coming up the middle aisle, in front of the pulpit, the Rev. Mr. Beach read the following Address of the Clergy and Lay Representatives of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the State of New-York, assembled in Convention, to the Right Reverend SAMUEL PROVOOST, D.D. Bishop of said Church.
Right Reverend Sir, WE, the Clergy and late representatives of the Protestant Episcopal Church, now assembled in Convention, beg leave to address you, on this solemn occasion, with sentiments of unfeigned duty and respect. After having successfully accomplished the great object which you had in view, we congratulate you on your return to your native city, safe from the hazards of a long and tempestuous voyage, and, in a great measure restored to health from a painful and dangerous illness. While we express, in terms of the warmest gratitude, the high obligations we are under to the English Bishops , for their paternal interposition in our favor; we beg leave to present to you our hearty thanks for your compliance with our desires, and thus, thro' many difficulties and sufferings, rendering our Church complete in all its parts.
This propitious event, so long and ardently wished for, forms an important era in the history of our Church. We are now by divine Providence placed in such a situation, that a regular succession of the ministry can be continued to us and our posterity, without being reduced to the necessity of applying to a distant land. Justly reposing the highest confidence in your integrity and piety, your love of peace and order, and your unremitting endeavours for the advancement of true religion and virtue, we rejoice that the distinguished honor of filling one of the first Episcopal chairs in these United States hath been conferred on a character so highly estimable; and we trust that we, and those whom we represent, shall never fail to render you all due support, respect and reverence.
May it graciously please the Almighty Ruler of the universe to bless your ministrations, that a firm foundation may be laid for the peace and prosperity of our Church which shall remain unshaken to the latest ages! May you, right Reverend Sir, long continue to discharge your sacred office, an example for our imitation, and an ornament to our holy religion: And may we , and all those committed to your pastoral charge, derive from your ministrations a benefit which will be of everlasting duration; so that when we are called to answer for our actions, we may give an account with joy, and remain for ever one flock under the shepherd Jesus Christ, the Bishop of our souls!
Done in Convention, at St. Paul's Church in the city of New-York, the 29th day of June in the year of our Lord 1787.
Signed by their order, ABM. BEACH, Sec'y.
The BISHOP'S ANSWER.
Reverend and most dearly beloved,
THIS affectionate address, your obliging congratulations on my return to my native city, and on the recovery of my health, and above all your assurances of support in my ministration, I receive with the utmost satisfaction and thankfulness.
The object of my late mission being the independence of our church, and a regular succession of the ministry, was of such magnitude, that its happy accomplishment cannot fail of inspiring all its members with the highest gratitude to Almighty God, and to all who under him, have by their good offices contributed to its success. To the English Bishops, particularly, we are under indelible obligations, and I cordially unite with you in a public testimony of their benevolent and paternal exertions in our favor. Whenever we shall reflect on this important era in the history of our Church, they must be remembered with honor and reverence. Let us my beloved friends zealously strive to make due improvement of the spiritual privileges which we now enjoy. Let our faith be sincere and our lives unblemished, as our doctrine and worship are pure and holy, and God will shower down his blessings upon us and our Church with a bountiful hand.

May you my Reverend Brethren, aided by his gracious spirit, continue to be watchful shepherds of the flocks committed to your charge, and maintain the doctrines and discipline of this excellent Church, with constancy and zeal, and at the same time with candor towards those who differ from us in religious opinions, that our moderation may be made manifest, and we may joyfully contribute to that peace, love and charity, which are so strongly enforced in the Gospel of our blessed Redeemer. Deeply sensible of my own imperfections, I feel with solicitude the weight of the important office to which I am consecrated. I rely only on the grace of God, to enable me to discharge my pastoral duties with fidelity, to be instrumental in promoting truth, religion and virtue, in governing this Church in peace and unanimity, and laying a sure foundation for its lasting prosperity, that thus through the divine protection your expectation of my usefulness may not be disappointed. And now, unto God's gracious mercy and protection I commit you; the Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you, the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace both now and evermore!
At the particular desire of a friend to the order and devotion of the Episcopal Church, the following prayer is inserted.
ALMIGHTY God our Heavenly Father, who hast purchased to thyself an universal Church by the precious blood of thy dear Son; Mercifully look upon the same, and at this time to guide and govern the minds of thy servants the Bishops and Pastors of thy flock, that they may lay hands suddenly on no man, but faithfully and wisely make choice of fit persons to serve in the sacred Ministry of thy Church. And to those which shall be ordained to any holy function, give thy grace and heavenly benediction, that both by their life and doctrine they may set forth thy glory, and set forward the salvation of all men, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ARRIVALS SINCE OUR LAST. Ship Providence, Cousins, London. Brig Heroe, —, London. Sloop Fair Play, Clift, Boston. Friend's Adventure, Thompson, Shelburne. Dove, Shaw, Charleston.

Thomas Burling, CABINET and CHAIR-MAKER, At the sign of the CHAIR, near the Chapel, in Beckman-street, formerly Chapel-street.
ACKNOWLEDGES the many favors received from his friends and the public, and would wish to inform them that he has opened a Warehouse of Mahogany and other Furniture, on a more extensive plan than heretofore; and for the convenience of strangers and others, who may resort to, or settle in this city, he means to keep an assortment where they may be supplied on the shortest notice; for it must hurt the feelings of every citizen to observe the daily impositions strangers are liable to, in purchasing new furniture at these public vendues. He served his time with Samuel Prince, a conspicuous character in his way, and esteemed one of the best workmen in this city, and as he has laid in a stock of the best Mahogany and other Wood, and means to employ the best hands, and sell his work at the lowest rate good work falls at, he flatters himself with being able to give satisfaction to his customers. Bed Chairs for the sick having been much wanted in this city, said Burling has provided some to let. 89
