vice of the state upwards of eight thousand
pupils, of whom three thousand seven hun
dred owe the whole or part of their educa-
ton to the national munificence. There is
now scarcely town but maintains a secon-
Diary school at its own expense, ut the same
time thatit possesses several private ones ;
the number of scholars ofthe Lyceums and
of these schools, greatly exceeds the num-
Der of students which were reckoned pre-
vious to the revolution in the universities
and in the colleges the inspectors gene
raj OF the studies, in the last inspection,
which they made OF the schools of Paris,
found the degree of improvement superior
to what it formerly was.
The twelve law schools are organised +:
1000 students are already eager to acquire
in them a knowledge OF the laws, and pro-
mise to the state a nursery of learned ju-
risconsults and enlightened magistrates.
Government has followed up the deve-
lopenent Of the system which was laid be-
fore You last year, and which has for its
object 20 make the hospitals serve for the
Improvement of the medical art in the pro-
vinces, thus drawing from the relief given
TO suffering humanity, new means of pre-
venting or diminishing their evils. Free
,chools OF practical medicine have been es-
tablshed in the cities of Amiens, Besan-
con, Anglers, Brussels, Ghent, Ciermont-
Ferrand, Grenoble and Poiltiers. The
courses ofnidwifery established at tine hos
Pital OF la Ezafernite, and which since their
formation, have already furnished nearly
400 learned midwives to the departments,
have just bee subjected TO measures which
will regulate their labors and secure their
success.
The operations relative to the measure
ment of the arch of the meridian OF BARGE
Iona at the BaLearie islands, have been re-
sume1 and will be continued this winter.
The observatory of the Pantheon has been
re-establshcd: that of Turin is restored

tumbled head long into it, by expressing
he most rigid attachment to the sirlctes'
principles of financial policy, and in re-

Drinciples-like some other sectaries they
made a sort or Communication between the
rigor of their public professions and the
laxity Of their private morals. But MIR X
would not agree that the austerity of their
| principles should cover the looseneSs q
their practices. Iftheir former professions
now called for more than they found them
selves able to perform, it would be more
fair and manly, honestly to confess it, Ia
ALLURE their old faith and take up one bet

dition.
One of the observations of the gentleman
from Pennsylvania was thrown away upon
him; he couli not feel it. IF the expense
Of converting Congresse were to be made a
prcteXt for acting without its authority we
might as well give the Executive power
of attorney at once to legisiarc for us. He
secuted such an idea. Ii would have been
better to have convened Congress at the
|expense Of half million tiIan tn at single
Icent should have been drawn out of the
treasury without previous appropriation
by law.
