French Tuition, UPON AN ANALYTICAL PLAN. NICHOLAS GOUIN DUFIET, Professor of the French Language, HAS the honor of informing his Fellow-Citizens of Philadelphia, that he will open his School on Monday the 14th of September, at No. 5, fourth Fifth Street, and give his hours of instruction in the following manner. Attendance on Ladies and Gentlemen, at their own houses, will be given as usual, from 9 o'clock in the morning till 2 in the afternoon. His afternoon and evening school will begin (every other day) from 4 to 6, and from 6 till 9. Translations from either language into the other, performed with accuracy, elegance, fecundity and dispatch. N.B.—Nicholas G. Dufiet, respectfully invites the Ladies and Gentlemen, ambitious to learn the French, to agree with some of their friends or acquaintances, desirous of receiving lessons in that universal and improved language, to meet at the fixed hour and place for mutual instruction—they may be assured it will be to their advantage to do so, if they peruse with attention the following—
To the Lovers of the French Language. ADDRESS. IN an age when successful efforts have been made towards the improvement of the art of Thinking, and when Analysis has been discovered the universal, and sole good method to improve all sciences, and receive instruction in them, it may be a matter of astonishment that it has not been yet generally embraced, and rendered the familiar method of learning. The extraordinary rise and progress of Chymistry within a very few years, are entirely due to analysis; but there is an art on which it should have first darted its beneficial rays, I allude to the Teaching of Languages. In fact, Nature, this excellent analyst, was before our eyes guiding children in learning the language of their mother, and no child ever failed in acquiring it, proving surprisingly by her unerring lessons—Fully convinced by reason and experience, that the same method the pupil should be followed as nearly as possible, I adopted, in the course of my instructions, such books established on principles that least deviated from her simple dictates. I soon perceived that the method acquired from these aids was but a very irregular and imperfect Analysis—I, therefore, resolved though with a very small confidence in my slender abilities, but animated with zeal for the improvement of those who may wish to learn French from me, to undertake the laborious and arduous task of writings work-grounded on Analytical principles, which might comprehend what is wished for by those applying themselves to the study of the living languages, and am happy to say, I have now nearly concluded it. It consists of three parts. The first, is a chosen Vocabulary of words most frequently used in speech, containing 3,500—the most natural acceptation of each is determined by a phrase prefixed to it. The second, contains the French verbs, both regular and irregular, from a new system in which the principal difficulties attending conjugation are first explained, and observations given on the use of each tense, illustrated by proper examples, so as to enable the learner to express himself with precision. The third, is a complete list of those words servans de lien, ou de complement les uns entre les autres par les auxiliaires: that is to say—forming the link or completion of sense between the other parts of speech, whose principal use is to establish in speech that connection between words, which already exists in the mind between ideas. I have also fully determined the sense and acceptation of these important words (which are divided into appropriate classes to fix them the easier in the memory) by annexing to each examples in French and English. As I do not intend to publish the above, for some time, and in order, nevertheless, that my pupils may reap the same advantage without it, I hasten to inform those who may be induced to put themselves under my care, that half the time of school (the other half being devoted to other exercises) will be employed in exercising them in the following manner:— We first begin with the Vocabulary; each word of which will be pronounced in English then in French, to be repeated by one or more of the scholars; and a familiar repetition of the phrases before mentioned will follow. It is worthy of observation, that in our infancy, and as we advance in years, we learn the pronunciation of our vernacular tongue, by pronouncing word by word; and Analogy accomplishes what remains to be done, in order to acquire the necessary knowledge of it. The rules given by Grammarians to attain this object are a most useless to us, and still more so to the foreigners, struggling in vain to learn the true pronunciation of a language with the help of dictionaries and Grammar alone. Though I conceive my scholars may attain in the above manner, the accurate pronunciation of the French language, yet strict attention is paid to their reading in approved authors before we begin the foregoing exercises. I will pursue nearly the same method in imparting to them the contents of the two other divisions of my work. I cannot conclude this address without thanking my Fellow-Citizens for the liberal encouragement I have experienced from them; chiefly six years past, in my professional career; presuming that it may be permitted to say, that I have not been altogether undeserving of it.

JONATHAN ROBBINS.
During the last winter and the following spring, the affair of Jonathan Robbins , the pirate and murderer, excited a considerable degree of conversation in private circles, and the public mind was constantly agitated by the lies daily published in the Aurora and other Jacobin French Gazettes of this country. Our readers will recollect that in order to convince the people of America that Robbins was not a native of the town of Danbury , in Connecticut , a certificate was procured from the Selectmen of that town, declaring that no such name as Robbins could be found upon the Records of Danbury , which certificate was published in this Gazette ; this, with the confession of the Murderer at the place of execution, that he was an Irishman , was satisfactory and conclusive with every man not blinded by party. But the Jacobins were not to be flattered with facts; they still harped upon the old key to a new tune; for some months they pursued their usual system, one day by dark innuendos and base insinuation, and then by bold and lying assertions; at last, after frequent mention of some "important facts respecting that unfortunate citizen," forth come the following Aurora Remarks and subsequent Letter.
From the Aurora of June the 20th.
JONATHAN ROBBINS.
During the late session of Congress we were promised some facts concerning this unfortunate citizen; and we hoped to have had them in time for the discussion upon Mr. Livingston's motion. We were disappointed then. We have been more successful since, and shall now lay before our readers the information we have obtained literally, as we have obtained it, in a letter addressed by a gentleman residing at Danbury to the Editor of the Aurora .
In the view of national independence—as it relates to our character as a nation—as it relates to the character and independence of our judiciary, it is a matter of utter insignificance, whether Jonathan Robbins was a native of the Irish bog ; or of the rough declivities of Connecticut . Judge Bee himself declared as much from the bench; but he declared it in a sense different from what we conceive to be the law of the land or the law of nations. Judge Bee according to the report published asserted that it made no difference whether Robbins was a British subject or an American citizen, the treaty comprehended both descriptions, and he was delivered up. We conceive that having a law paramount to every treaty, that is the great charter of the Federal Constitution , to deliver him up, was
 1. As a citizen, contrary to the Constitution.  2. As charged with the crime of piracy on the high seas, over which the jurisdiction of all nations is common, it was a violation of law and justice.  3. That it was a violation of the constitution to deliver him up without the inquest of a jury. 
The principal ground of defence set up to justify the interference of our Executive (and this appears to have been Pickering's act solely) was that Robbins was an alien born ; and the prejudices of the public were called forth to palliate and mitigate the disgrace of the act, under this black subterfuge of inhumanity. It is well worthy of consideration, however, with what nice sympathy in crimes and maxims of government the anglo-federalists and their British friends agree. It was a sufficient palliation of disgrace to say Jonathan Robbins , was a feigned name, and that in truth his name was Thomas Nash a native of Waterford ! It is remarkable that an Englishman was acquitted of murder at Waterford in Ireland , under the British government, and upon this plea, the accused confessed that he had killed the man, but alleged that it was not murder because he was a mere Irishman . The Hottentots are a barbarous than such civilized savages.
Public weakness having tolerated in some measure, at least by its sullen silence, the delivery of this unfortunate man into the talons of the British , it became a matter of some moment, to discover the validity and authority which the certificates procured from Danbury , by the immediate application of Mr. Pickering carried with them.
The certificates of the Selectmen stated that they could find no such name as Jonathan Robbins , on the records of Danbury . The public will be surprised to find this fact literally true, and yet covering a most gross deception.
The records of Danbury were burnt along with the town by the British during our revolutionary war.
Consequently these Selectmen could not find his name therein. Thus we see too, that the barbarity of the British soldiery during our war with them, has been accessory to the murder at the distance of twenty years!
The Selectmen likewise asserted that they did not remember, any family of the name of Robbins in Danbury . The matter has passed before the public and the selectmen have recovered their memories, and they have actually found a family of that name, nay more a brother of Jonathan Robbins living within a few miles of that town. Read the letter—whosoever wishes to see the original, may see it in the hands of the Editor.
Extract of a letter to the Editor, dated Danbury , June 1, 1800.
"The people of these eastern states, have felt a high degree of resentment at our injuries from France . This has artfully been improved to call off their attention from the high-handed and oppressive measures at home. 'Submission to France ' has been held up as the consequence of every sentiment, wish, or measure which was not exactly conformable to passion, obedience and non-resistance, or in their own language "implicit confidence in our "rulers." This great political bug-bear, had for a time the effect intended, and
the Sedition and Alien-Law, together with Roger Griswold's to-tell-tale, securing the Executive power from being usurped, were all submitted to, as "guarding us against French encroachments, as "meeting the manner of French warfare" and "combating her on her own grounds." But the novelty and the deception have passed away, our citizens feel the weight of the one, and behold with indignation the consequence of the other, and in most cases that can arise, the futility of the third; and see and acknowledge the injustice of all. The principles of that forlorn hope of the anglo-sleuthers, Mr. Ross's election bill are not sufficiently known to receive the damnation they justly deserve; and which they ever will receive from every person of penetration and honesty; who is not an advocate for slavery.
"The delivery up of Jonathan Robbins , under the 27th article of the British treaty (for the "furtherance of justice" cannot with all its palliation, be palatable to our citizens. On the subject of the certificates from this town, I wish to make a few observations. The gentlemen who wrote those certificates are, I believe, men of common honesty; they are so required here, but assure yourself they are party-men.—In the first place, the records of this town were burnt with the town in the time of the last war. It is not difficult to suppose a man might forget the record of a person whom he could not have thought of in twenty years, when the records where his name must have been deposited, had been reduced to ashes for that length of time, still less is the difficulty in conceiving that he might be born there, but never recorded . There is no impossibility nor improbability, that he belonged to an obscure family, then feignedly known, and now long since forgotten. Our Selectmen have certified that they never knew a person by that name residing in this town for any length of time, but they now acknowledge a person by the name of Robbins , once laboured somewhere in this neighbourhood, whose age would not altogether disagree with that of Jonathan Robbins the Pirate! But the following is an important and an astonishing fact, a fact which non-plussed many of our certifiers , and which was related to me by one of the number. On making enquiry, after the receipt of the Secretary's request, they found that a person of the name of Robbins was then residing in the boundaries of New-York state, but near those of this town . This person they visited, and the information they obtained was, "that he once had a brother by the name of Jonathan Robbins , that he had been absent some years, and he concluded dead, as he had not heard from him for a great length of time, that he believed if his brother was alive, he was about thirty-three years old!"
[Thus terminated the letter received by the Aurora man, and the reader shall soon learn by whom it was composed. A more artful written letter, or a more villainous attempt to mislead the People of America, and to destroy all confidence in the integrity of Government, was never engendered even in the wicked brain of a Jacobin . The author of the above infernal letter, which went to wound the peace of three of our most worthy patriots, the President, Timothy Pickering, and Judge Bee , was one SAMUEL MORSE , publisher of a Jacobin paper in Danbury , to whom Duane wrote on the subject, and received the above in reply. Whether the ghost of Robbins haunted this man, or whether the stings of guilty conscience has worked repentance for the diabolical attempt to injure three virtuous men and to deceive his fellow citizens, we will not pretend to say, but certain it is, that he has endeavoured to expiate his foul crime by the following recantation, which seems to partake of contrition for the horrid act.]
From the Sun of Liberty , of Aug. 20. Danbury, August 15 1800. TO THE PUBLIC
Since writing my observations contained in a letter to the editor of the Aurora , dated the 1st, and republished in my paper No 4—and the address to the gentlemen of the town of Danbury , who signed the certificate, concerning Jonathan Robbins , I have become convinced, from futher examination of the subject, that the said Jonathan Robbins was not a native of this town, nor ever resided here—and that the gentleman who so certified were not only honest and candid in giving such certificate, but certified the truth. The said publications in the aforesaid papers must therefore be considered as erroneous and incorrect.
My intention in publishing the observation in the aforesaid papers were not to reflect on the characters of those gentlemen who certified, but the inaccuracies therein contained originated from mistake.
SAMUEL MORSE. Those Printers in the United States who have printed the aforesaid publications are requested to publish the above.
[There is an infernal scheme laid open to full view—If the Jacobin printers, and those who believed them, have the most distant conception of honesty or justice, they will cease their clamours, and never more open their lips against men whom they have so deeply injured.]

From the Halifax , (N.S.) Journal of September 4.
Extract of a letter from Sydney . Cape Breton , dated 29th July, 1800.
"Last Saturday died at his house near Sydney , in this island David Mathews , Esq. formerly Mayor of the city of New York , and late attorney general of this island. His death appears to have been the effect of a broken spirit, occasioned by the many unjust sufferings which he has sustained during the last twelve months. Nowithstanding the oppressive means taken to depreciate his virtue and his character, his memory will ever be held dear and much respected by all who had the happiness of his acquaintance. He was a most cheerful and instructive companion, a sincere and faithful friend, and a most tender and affectionate consort: he was charitable, humane and hospitable to a fault. If he had any foibles (and few men are without them) they were the offspring of a candid and openness of manners, and a liberal unperpecting disposition: his judgement was clear and accurate in the administration of the laws and constitution of the British Colonies. He had resided fifteen years in this island highly and justly esteemed by every man of sense and respectability in his country. His funeral gave the fullest proof how much he was beloved and esteemed by all the inhabitants. All persons who had heard of his death flocked to the melancholy scene, and testified the deepest sorrow and affliction at their great loss: even the Indians attended and expressed their grief in a most affecting and impressive manner, and in terms of strong and acute sensibility lamented the death of their common father and constant friend."

Prevention better than Cure. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended, DR. HAHN'S Anti-bilious Pills, WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West-Indies, and the southern parts of the United States particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence.
