study of foreign languages and the manner in
which they may be taught with most advani
tage, is DESTROYS to give Lessons in French,
which, being now considered as necessary
branch Of polite education, he hatters himself

rally approved Of aided to a strict attention
to clear and proper pronunciation, NiH ena.
bic his pupils to acquire the language in
shorter time, than that which has hitherto
been in use--ofwhich little experience will
prove the truth OF his assertion.
As his family lives short distance from
Alexandria, he Intends to remove to the town
as soon as he finds prospect to defray the
expenses of house keeping, and invites there
fore those who wish to be instructed 10 make
their applications, the sooner the better, to
Mr.. GENRES, who will give the necessa-
