GEOGRAPHY. Mr. HARDIE, Teacher of Languages, At No. 3, Little Queen-Street, INFORMS his friends and the Public, that he proposes, on Tuesday the first of May, to begin a Course of GEOGRAPHY, which will be completed in six months.

Thomas Burling,  CABINET and CHAIR-MAKER, At the sign of the CHAIR, near the Chapel, in Beekman-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-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 importations strangers are liable to, in purchasing new furniture at these public ventures. 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 sells 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

One very great advantage will attend the purchasing of paper hangings manufactured here, is that it can be always matched again; many persons have been obliged to new paper their rooms for the want of a few yards of paper hangings that has been imported, being damaged on their walls; and another very great advantage is, they can be sold much cheaper than the imported paper hangings, and warranted to be equally as good. Cash given for Old Rope, Linen and Cotton Rags. 87

To the PUBLIC. A Gentleman of the physical profession, regularly educated, offers with great deference his services to the public. As he was many years a surgeon of practice, he hopes his experience will particularly recommend him to those who have the misfortune to be exposed to the ravages of a disorder prevalent enough in all populous cities. As he happens to be a stranger, he can have little more, exclusive of the knowledge of his profession to recommend him, save only the moderation of his charges, and the most assiduous attention to such patients as will honor him with their confidence. It is his interest and duty to observe the most inviolable secrecy where occasion requires. In all disorders whatsoever, he gives advice gratis, to such poor persons as come recommended by any of the Clergy, or respectable families in this city. All seamen are informed, that directions and medicines will be given which may enable them to cure themselves in many disorders incident to their situation, if they observe attention to his rules.

Laws of the State of New-York.
An ACT for the better regulating the Public Roads in the City and County of New-York. Passed the 21st of March, 1787.
BE it enacted by the People of the State of New-York, represented in Senate and Assembly, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonality of the city of New-York, in Common Council convened and their successors, shall be and hereby are appointed Commissioners to regulate and keep in repair the present public roads or highways; and to lay out, regulate and keep in repair, such other public roads or highways, as shall hereafter be laid out in the said city and county.
II. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the said Commissioners, to be appointed by this act, shall be, and hereby are fully authorised and impowered to widen or alter all public roads and highways, already laid out in the said city and county, to such convenient breadth, not exceeding four rods, nor less than two rods, as the said Commissioners shall judge fit, to make them passable for horses and carriages.

And to the end that reasonable satisfaction may be made for all such lands, as shall be taken and employed for the use aforesaid, the said Commissioners shall and may treat and agree with the owners and persons interested therein, or his, her or their agent or legal representative; and if any such owners or proprietors shall refuse to treat in manner aforesaid, then and in such case it shall and may be lawful to and for the Mayor or Recorder, and any two or more Aldermen, by virtue of this act, to issue a precept directed to the Sheriff of the said city and county of New-York, commanding him to impanel and return, and he is hereby required to impanel and return a Jury to appear before the Mayor's Court, at the then next meeting thereof, not less than three weeks from the date of such precept to inquire of and assess the damages and recompence due to the owner or owners of such land; and at the same time to summon the owner or owners of such land, or his, her or their agent or legal representative, by notice to be left at his or her last most usual place of abode, to appear before such Mayor's Court on the day and at the place of the return of such precept, which jury being first duly sworn for that purpose, and having viewed the premises if necessary, shall inquire of and assess such damages and recompence as they shall, under all the circumstances, judge fit to be awarded to the owner or owners of such land, according to their several and respective interests and estates, of and in such land, or any part thereof, for their respective interests and estates in the same; and the verdict of such jury, and the judgment of the said Mayor's Court thereupon, and the payment of the sum and sums of money so awarded and adjudged to the owner or owners thereof, or tender and refusal thereof, shall be binding to all intents and purposes, against the said owners and their respective heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, claiming any interest or title in or to the same land, and shall be a full authority to the said Commissioners to cause the said land to be converted, and used for the purposes aforesaid, any thing herein, or in any other law contained to the contrary hereof in any wise notwithstanding.
Provided always, and be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That nothing in this act before contained, shall be deemed to authorise or require compensation to be made to any person or persons for any lands, which he, she or they shall have obtained, by encroaching on such public road or highway. And provided further, That the main road or highway leading to King's bridge, shall not be of less breadth than it is present, nor any part thereof less than four rods wide.
III. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That it shall and may be lawful to and for the said Commissioners, to cause to be made, built and erected, such and so many causeways and bridges, and at such places as they shall think necessary, and to cause ditches from such public roads or highways, to be made and cut through any persons land, where they shall judge proper, for conveying the water from, and keeping the same roads or highways dry and in good order, and from time to time to appoint one or more Surveyors or Overseers of the said roads or highways, and to employ labourers and workmen to make and keep the same in repair.
IV. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the said Commissioners shall from time to time make regular returns in writing, of all the roads or highways by them widened, altered or laid out, to be signed by the Clerk of the Common Council of the said city of New-York, and cause the same to be entered in the records of the same city, and that whatever the said Commissioners shall do, according to the power given them by this act, being so entered on record, shall be deemed good and valid, to all intents, constructions and purposes in the law whatsoever.
V.

FOREIGN ADJECTS.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 11.
They write from Alexandria, that so great a scarcity prevails in the country as to threaten a general famine. An alarming revolt has taken place towards the borders of Syria, where an adventurer named Hadjchi-Dere-Begh, is at the head of a very formidable body of rebels, who attack and seize all the caravans that fall in their way, to the great annoyance of commerce. The 29th of last month the Grand Signior dispatched a firman, commanding all the troops in Romelia immediately to unite under the command of Gen. Leghlerbegh Bekin Pacha.
Petersburgh, Jan. 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 werstes, nearly equal to 140 geographical leagues.
Vienna, Feb. 17. We are assured that the marriage between the Archduke Francis of Tuscany and the Princess Elizabeth of Wurtemberg is appointed to be solemnized at Easter 1788, and that the office of mistresses of the household of the future Archduchess is secured to the Princess Dowager of Lichtenstein.
The last letters from Constantinople give no confirmation to the rumour that has been circulated of the assassination of the Captain Pacha at Cairo; but it appears certain that the Grand Signior has deprived him of the command of the army in Egypt, and that the Pacha of Saida is appointed his successor. The same letters advise that the Grand Vizir, natural son to the Captain Pacha, has incurred the disgrace of the Sultan.
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 12th of this month. All the papers relative to this subject are already transmitted to the Prince Stadtholder, 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 do 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 Stadtholder is incapable of producing the letters of Messrs. Goerts and Thuylenmeyer touching the negotiation respecting him, those pieces never having been in his possession, and he being wholly ignorant of their contents.
L O N D O N, March 4.
Extract of a letter from Venice, Feb. 10.
Extraordinary meetings of Doge and Senate have been lately held on the subject of a proposition made by the Minister from his Imperial Majesty of Germany, relative to the exchange of certain territories belonging to that Sovereign in Italy, or upon the borders, for the island of Zante, which belongs to this republic. The Emperor has undoubtedly turned his views to the establishment of a naval commerce in such parts of his dominions as will admit of it; and the Imperial Eagle has been displayed in several parts of the Mediterranean and of the Archipelago; and should this exchange take place, as it is positively affirmed it will, there can be no doubt of the republic's reaping the most solid advantages from a union with so potent and enterprising a monarch."
We hear that Lord North is at this time so much indisposed by an infirmity in his eyes, that it is feared his Lordship will irrecoverably lose his sight.
Extract of a letter from Toulon, Jan. 26.
Two frigates, one of 30 and the other of 40 guns upon one deck, are now building at this port by order of his Most Christian Majesty. These vessels are on an entire new construction, and are to carry eighteen pounders upon one deck, and when completed are to sail for Philadelphia, being intended as presents from the King to the States of America. They will be completely equipped and furnished with six months provisions and stores. Several military officers and other gentlemen, who are engaged in the service of the United States, are to take passage in these vessels, together with several merchants and other respectable characters in the commercial, the naval, and the military lines."
All the different accounts we receive from Turkey make mention of the combination of unfortunate occurrences which afflict the Ottoman Empire. The defeat of the Turkish forces in Egypt, the threats of the Pacha of Scutari against the province of Bosnia, and such other occurrences, drive the Ottoman Ministry almost to desperation, and drain the country of men and money; besides these, the Turkish Cabinet is by no means unanimous in their ideas, and from this alone many misfortunes may attend the Empire. The people, on the other hand, murmur much, and publicly accuse the Divan of cowardice and pusillanimity for suffering the neighbouring powers to take such advantages to the detriment of their country.
Lately died, at a village near Pritz, in Pomerania, John Pengs, aged 103. He was borne to his grave on sheaves of corn, according to his desire; and a spade, plough-share, and hedging-bill, were placed on his coffin. He had cultivated upwards of two thousand acres of land. He had had 25 children, and such as lived he taught to be as industrious as himself.
UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, APRIL 20.
On Wednesday the 11th inst. ended a treaty in the city of Albany, between the Commissioners of Indian affairs of this State, and some of the principal Sachems of the Seneca Nation. In the course of which the Sachems expressed the greatest friendship and attachment to the United States, but more particularly to this State. After the treaty was over they received a number of presents, and this morning will set off on their return home.
We are informed, that the department of Master of arithmetic and mathematics in the Protestant Episcopal Academy of Philadelphia, is immediately to be filled by Mr. Benjamin West, Professor of mathematics in the College of Providence, and member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in the State of Massachusetts.—Noah Webster, Esq. author of "the Grammatical Institute of the English Language," has accepted of the place of Master of that language in the Philadelphia Academy. Under the direction of an able principal, and such respectable instructors, there is every reason to believe, that the progress of the pupils will be universally pleasing.
Some months ago, a young adventurer in North-Carolina married a widow who had three children; she chanced to have near 3000 hard dollars in the house. Two-thirds of this sum belonged to the children. The guardians claimed their share of the specie for the children, and the honest step-father is now buying up paper at 12 or 13 shillings for the dollar; and such money will in that State, be a legal payment for the use of orphans. Is it strange that paper depreciates when such men are profited by the change?
The author of the political Essays says, that the total exports of Great-Britain to all her American colonies in commodities, manufactures and negroes, before the late revolution, amounted to £3,557,136.
The exportation of above three millions and a half sterling must have been of prodigious consequence to that kingdom, especially when it is considered, that this noble branch of commerce was found to employ 150,000 tons of shipping, or 433 sail, at an average of 300 tons, and 12,300 seamen.
Accounts from Boston, dated last Thursday, say:
"By a gentleman who arrived in town, on Tuesday, directly from the county of Hampshire, we are informed, that the Honorable Justices of the Supreme Judicial Court, finished their session for the county of Berkshire, last week, after passing SENTENCE OF DEATH on six of the rebels who have been taken in arms in that county;—and, among many others, sentencing William Whiting, Esq. Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas for that county, to be imprisoned six months, pay a fine of 100l. and find sureties for keeping the peace for five years—and a Mr. Gould, a lawyer, to pay a fine of 50l. to the State, and find sureties for his good behaviour for three years."
Austin, of Sheffield, and a Mr. Wilson, we are told, are among the rebels under sentence of death in Berkshire county. Capt. Hamlin, who commanded the rebels in the attack on Col. Athley, at Sheffield, has not yet received his trial, on account of the bad state of his wounds.
We hear, that the rebels in Hampshire, have lately made several incendiary attempts to destroy the buildings and other property belonging to Gen. Shepard, at Westfield.
Among the votes for Governor, at Newbury-Port, several signified their particular respect for Mr. HANCOCK, by putting his name into the box written with letters of gold.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in St. Eustatia, dated January 26th, 1787, to a Merchant in this city.
"Pray, when you write me, give me a reason why your planters do not breed mules for exportation; as I am confident it would answer much better in their favour, than sending us a parcel of old horses, which oftentimes are not worth the trouble nor expence of exportation, being not fit for the mills; the major part of the planters of these islands, from experience, would rather give 8 or 10 joes for a good mule, than they would one third of the fame for a horse, unless it be for the saddle."
"A cargo of good mules would be worth, at present, 10 joes per head, and I am certain, there is not any cargo of horses brought to these parts, would fetch half the sum."
On Friday last the United States in Congress assembled passed a resolution recommending it to the different States, to repeal all their laws, now in force, which are inconsistent with the treaty of peace between the United States of America, and the King of Great Britain.
Last Sunday evening four seamen, much intoxicated, falling in the East river, by some unskillful management the boat overset, opposite the ship-yards, and two of the party belonging to the Charleston packet, Capt. Tinker, were drowned; the others with difficulty got on the bottom of the boat, from whence they were shortly after brought safely on shore.
The following epistle is extracted from a London paper of December 20, 1786.
Letter from Jeremiah Tuscofee, Surgeon, at Vienna, in Austria, to the Editor of the Courier de l'Europe.
"Sir,—The ingratitude of the Sieur Tichio, who now goes by the title of Count Cagliostro, added to my immediate necessity for money, obliges me to communicate to the public one of his adventures, which he has omitted to insert in his memoirs. You mention him in one of your numbers as a man of brutal character, who treats his wife very cruelly. It is really surprising that the lesson he received at Vienna, about the latter end of the year 1775, has not made a greater impression upon him. One day in the month of November, in the year, as he was walking with this unfortunate woman on the banks of the Danube, where the current ran with the most rapid force, he took an opportunity to pick a quarrel with her upon one subject or another; and on her attempting to excuse or justify herself, he fell into a sudden rage and seized her round the waist, threw her into the river with such force, that she fell into the water above ten yards distant from the shore. Those who were spectators of this barbarous action, wished in vain to give her assistance. The current carried her away with such rapidity, that she disappeared in a minute. Tichio was immediately taken into custody. Thirty witnesses appeared to prove the fact, and upon whose testimony he was clearly convicted, and received sentence to be hanged."
"As surgeon of the prison, I had opportunity to see him. He appeared to me to be a stout, well set, masculine man, and I thought him a good subject for dissection. I accordingly sent for the executioner, and struck a bargain with him for the corpse at the sum of fifty florins; which was double the usual price given for the bodies of ordinary malefactors. On the 28th of November, Tichio was hanged; and three or four hours after the execution, the body was brought to my house. I was then delivering a course of lectures on anatomy, and having placed the corpse on the amphitheatre, in the presence of all my pupils, I pronounced a scientific discourse on the causes of death in hanged persons; after which, proceeding to the dissection of the subject before me, I made a deep incision quite from the sternum to the os pubis. Tichio instantly roared out, and set himself upright upon the table. My pupils, terrified almost to death, made towards the door; but I stopped them, and having persuaded them to return and keep the secret, I stitched up the wound, I blooded my patient, and purged him. In short, in fifteen days I put him on his legs again. For two whole months I kept him carefully concealed in my house; during which time he often mentioned his wife, spoke of her virtue in the strongest terms, and appeared quite inconsolable for the loss of her."
"One day when he was reproaching himself with more than ordinary bitterness for having been the cause of her death, who should rush into the apartment but Madam Tichio? and throwing her arms about his neck, they both remained a considerable time fixed in embraces of mutual transport. It seems the day after the accident happened to her, Madam Tichio was found by a fisherman 15 leagues from Vienna; a country surgeon, by clysters of tobacco and repeated fumigations, happily restored her to life and effected her recovery. Fortune would have it that the son of this very surgeon was one of my pupils, and had actually been present at Tichio's resurrection. Madam Tichio in confidence possessed him of the secret of her deplorable disaster, and the young man in return acquainted her with every circumstance of the hanging, dissection and curing her husband. She had the generosity not only to forgive, but live with him again. At their departure together from hence, I furnished them with what was necessary for their journey. Tichio, on taking his leave, with all possible shew of gratitude, assured me that, as soon as it was in his power, he would amply reimburse me the money I advanced—the price of his board—&c. at my house—payment for my care and attendance, and also the 50 florins which I had paid to the hangman for his body. But, Sir, it appears clearly that Tichio has quite forgot me, since become Count Cagliostro. They tell me here that there is an excellent law in England, by virtue of which a person totally unknown, without house, settlement, or even a possibility of being afterwards traced, may, without any title, or giving any sureties for the prosecution of his claim, upon his own sole unsupported affidavit of debt, imprison a citizen or denizen provisionally, or make him find bail in double the demand. Pray be so good as to let me know how the laws stand in such case. If I find my informations right I shall set out for England immediately on the receipt of your answer."
Yours's, &c.
J. TUSCOFEE."

The following Anecdote of the present KING of PRUSSIA may be depended upon as a fact:— SINCE his accession to the throne, he has become enamoured of a young lady of the highest rank, and the most exquisite beauty. Having already a Queen and several children, and the object of his affections possessing too much virtue to permit an illegal indulgence of his passion, he was determined if possible, to repair the rites of marriage, and give her an equal rank with his Royal Consort. He called together the heads of the Clergy, to state to them his wishes, and to ask their opinions.—They enquired if he had any objections against the present Queen? he answered, that his pretensions were not founded on any accusations against her; that she was every thing which virtue and affection could constitute.—They then told him his intentions were impossible. He desired them to search the earliest record of Prussia, to discover if some precedent of a similar action might not exist. After much labour they returned, assuring him, that no shadow of such a precedent could be discovered. "Then," exclaimed he, "I will establish a precedent myself, and teach the world that a passion like mine, ought not to be circumscribed by any laws whatever."—He has since publicly married the young lady, and allowed her to share the honors of his former Queen. Such an instance of polygamy will afford matter of curious speculation for all Europe.

ACADEMY,
Little-Queen-street, No. 29, between Nassau and Smith-streets.
MR. GRAHAM finding that most of his employers wish to have their children taught English along with their writing, accounts, &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, accounts, 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 honored 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. 87

Mercantile Academy,
No. 4, PECK-SLIP.
MARCUS BURKE would deem himself unpar-donable, did he not embrace every occasion of testifying his most grateful sense of the favors which have been conferred on him, in the line of his profession. In order to render his academy still more worthy of the respectable support it has hitherto been honored with, he is determined to let slip no opportunity of promoting the advantage of those, whose education is committed to his care. He therefore requests the public to observe, that he has taken into partnership a gentleman who was taught at an academy of eminence; and who, having served a regular apprenticeship in one of the first mercantile houses in Ireland, is perfect master of all the business of the compting-house.
Mr. Burke rests satisfied in a conviction that his attention and abilities have met with that approbation which it shall ever be his ambition to merit; and, being confident that the interest of his pupils will be materially advanced by the connection he has formed, is in expectation, that the partnership will meet with such further marks of public patronage, as they may be found deserving of.
At No. 4, Peck-slip, are taught Writing, Arithmetic, Navigation, &c. &c. Such persons as wish to be instructed in the true Italian method of book-keeping by double entry, will find their advantage in favoring this academy with a preference; and those who are desirous of improvement in navigation, can, in one month, be rendered capable of keeping a journal.
Parents, who would place their children in a situation where every necessary attention is paid to their morals and education, will meet with that desirable opportunity, by applying to those, who are, with utmost respect,
Their very obedient servants, MARCUS BURKE, & Co.
