G ND, the ingenious inventor of the lamp which heats
his name; was dragited before the PatWatttent of Patis..
by the Company of Lpcktmiths and fronmon,;,;er-,who
claimed the exclusive right of making ltnips. L.
smo, the celebrated French philo-ophical and ma.
thematical intrument.maker, had set np a small fur.
race for the convenience of working the metals used
in his business. The Masters of the Founders' Cont.
paay came in person to demolish it, and would have
effected their object had not LRROIR applied to the
KING for protection. The manufacture of japanned
hardware was altogether exchtded from France, until•
the era of the Revolution, by the circumstance of its

trades to carry it on, and the necessity of "being ad.

NEWSPAPERS.—After inquiring (says Mr. Chal-
mers, in his Lift of Ruddiman)- in various countries
for the origin of Newspapers, I had the satisfaction
to find what I sought for in England. It may gra-•
tify our national pride to be told, that mankind are'
indebted to the wisdom of Elizabeth and the pre-'
dente of Burleigh, for the first Newspaper. The'
epoch of the Spanish Armada is also the epoch oft
genuine Newspaper. In the British Museum there
are several Newspapers, which- had been printed
while the Spanish fleet was in the English Channel,
during the year 1588. It was a wise policy to pre-
vent, during the moment of general anxiety, the
danger Of false reports, by
.publishing real informa-
tion; and the earliest Newspaper is entitled the
English Mercurie, which, by authority, was im-
printed at London, by Christopher Barker, her High-
ness's printer, 1558.
