FRENCH LANGUAGE.

A GENTLEMAN, who has devoted a
N considerable part of bis time to the
study Of foreign languages and the manner IN
which they may be taught with most adran
tagc, is DESTROYS to give Lessons IN French,
which, being now considered as necessary
branch Of polite education, he hauers himself
to meet with sufficient encouragement-and
the method of teaching which he means to
adopt, (bcing that of Mr.. a. DlgfG6 SO gene
rally approved of added to strict attention
to clear and proper pronunciation, will ena-
bic his pupils to acquire the language in a
shorter time, than that which has hitherto
been in use-of which a little experience will
prove the truth of his assertion.
AS his family lives Short distance from
Alexandra, he intends to remove to the town
as soon as he finds prospect to detray the
expences ofhouse- keeping, and invites there
fore those who wish Z, DE instructed to make
their applications, the sooner the better, to
