N. B. The above-mentioned Series of easy and simple ele-
mentary Books are believed to bir all that are necessary to ren-
der an English Student sufficiently familiar with the French
Language for the purposeS of reading and conversation.
Every person must-have. peen struck with the absurdity of
the practice of putting the present Voluminous; tedious, and
' perplexing -.French,Gramniars and their Auxiliaries into the
hands of Ctildren. IVell educated French Men are themselves
• unacquainted-with halt the subtleties which, br means of the
previously-existing french and English Grammars,' are at-
tempted to he tatight to Children in English Schools. The
Abbe Bossues; Books,- on the contrary, Contain nothing but
general usd essential points of information-; they leave the
Pronunciation to the living Tutor, from whom as much will
be learnt in an hour as by Rule in a year ; and, in resped to •
Words,and Construetions, they 'place the acquirement of the
• French Language, by an English Child, exactly on the same
footing as that,on Which it.stands .to a-Native.•

'Mr. GRENVILLE .informed the House, from the
Bar, that the .Lords of the AdMitalty having thought
proper to put Sir Home Prpham, ciMttrniya. of thd
House, under arrest, preparatory to his being ; rigid

before the House a Copy of the -Warrant. under

which was read by the, Clerk, at the table, and vas:
in substance as follows •

" Whereas, Captain Sir Home Popham left the Cape of,
GOOd Hope, without- any orders, and ptoceeded to attack a,
Spanish Settlement on Rio de la Plata, now this is:to cort-i.
mand you, that you take the said Sir H. Popham under ar-
rest, preparatOiy to his trial by Court-Martial, for his. said
Offence. But you are not to put him to-any .gr:ater inconve-
nience than is absolutely necessary ; and, therefore, having
made the arrest, you are to take his word of honour for his_
appearance when the Court-Martial takes place, and yois,
are to attend him to, and from the said Court-Martial," '
" To lohn Cricket, Esq. Marshal of the Admiralty."

MUTINY BILL.-ROMAN CATIVLICS.
Lord HOWICK, in the absence of a Right Hon.
Friend Of his (Mr. Windham,,w4se election
been declared Void); wished the Cominittee on the
Mutiny Bill should be postponed from Tuesday next'
to Tuesday se'nnight. He took this opportunity to
give notice, that he Meant in the 'Committee to
move two new clauses ; one for extending to Great
Britain the- prOvisions of an 'A& Of the Irish•
liament in the year 179,2, enabling Roman Catho-
hcs to hold certain CotrimissionS‘in the Army ; and
another, to secure to such Roman CathOlics as are.
serving in the Army the free exercise of their religion.
This freedom was already granted in practice ; bat
for the fuller satisfaaion of those Who were fhe_ob-'
jets of it, it was intended to give it the,San6tion and,
security of law.
The Order for the Committee on the Bill was'
fixed for Tuesday se'nnight.---in answer to a*es-
:tion from Mr. Yoxx,• it was stated by Lord Ho wit:li
that there was no reason to think it would be put otf
beyond that clay. •
