ALEXANDRIA,:
ORIGIN OF TONTINES.
wanna.
SATURDAY, MAY &c, 1919.


The word Ionline IS derived from the
name of an Italian protector This was
one Laurence Tonfa, one OF the creatures
of Cardinal Mazarine, who finding the peo-
pie very much out of humor with his emf
nence's administration, imagined he could
reconcile hem by proposal of a methed
to make people rich in moment with their
taking the least pains or trouble to earn it.
His scheme Was lottery OF annuities, with
survivorship, which he proposed in 1858,
with the consent OF the court f: but tire par.
lament would not register the edict.-
Three years after he tried his project again
for building stone bridge over the Seine,
when il had both The favor OF Court AID
the sanction of parliament, under the tile
of Bangue Royale, but It failed again for
somebody having given it undcklly the
name of Tontine, nobody in Paris would
trust his money ina lottery that had an
Italian title. The last attempt poor ronti
made was to get his plan adopted by the
clergy, for the payment of Their debts
but though they acknowledged the inge-
nuity of it, they rejected it as unfit tor their
purpose.
Such was the invention of the Tontne.
Ii remains to re shewn when it first came
int use. When Louis XIV was distress
ed by the League of Augsburg, and grant
ed money beyond what the revenues of the
kingdom would furnish for supplying his
enormous expences, be had recourse to the
plans Of ronti, which though long laid a.
side and by an edict in 1859, created a
Tontine Royale OF one million tour hun.
dred thousand livres annual rent, divided
into fourteen classes. The actions were
three hundred livres piece, and the pro-
prietors were to receive ten per cent, with
benefit of survivorship in every class. This
scheme was executed but very imperfect
ly, for none OF the classes rose to above
twenty hve th0u-aBd IitTes, nstean oi one
bundled thousand, according 10 flie orlsi-
nal institution 4; though The aUnuilles were
very regularly PAID. A lew years alter,

ceivcd via Savannah, few days since, of
the cession Of the Island of Cuba, by the
Government of Spain, to Great Britain, was
generally credited there, and spoken Of
publicly; the people however were much
exasperated, and determined not to accede
to the measure, declaring their determine

The petition of the widow of Marshal
Bruno TO the king, has been comparatively
successful. His majesty has given orders
to the keepers Of the. seals to institute pro-
ceedings in Paris, against those accused of
the assassination OF the marshal. In note
to the petition, Madame Bruno stated, that
as soon as her appeal should be iavorabiy
received, she would denounce TO the trI-

those whom she accused OF being The muir

After the report was read, Mr.. Pell OBJ
taised leave to bring 10 bill to restrain

SPANISH MAIN.


We last evening received file Of Kings
ton (Jamaica) papers to the lst of april.
They contain some particulars of the Affairs
on the Main. Seven transports had enter
ed the Orinoco. with two thousand British
troops on board. The affairs al Guyana
were prosperous for the independents
The deputies for the Congress Of Venezue-
la had all assembled at AngostLra. Six
hundred British troops had arrived at Mar
garitta, and also division at AngosIura
The Spanish Royalists place great conf
dence in Morillo, and look forward TO a
favorable result. The campaign was ex-
pected to be very sanguinary. Commo-
dore Jollie had public dinner given to
him on board an English sloop of wor.-
He had sailed with his squadron, destina-
ton unknown. The independent squadron
consisted of eleven vessels of war, we'll
manned. Colonies English and BIosset
will command the divisions OF the British
auxiliary troops. Ibid.

Government, by way OF bounty. would al
low IS. per quintal on all fish cured at
Newfoundland, which would produce about
$50 900 pounds year, which being now
the case, deputation have waited on the
Chancellor of he Exchequer, who, in con-
formity with what was before promised, a.
greed 10 allow the sum above mentioned.
A difficulty, however, has arisen, from the
circumstance Of .Nr. Vansttart's being al a
loss from what fund to take it. This he
has candidly admitted, and told the depu-
tation, that he cannot apply to Parliament
for The money III question in the present
state of the country. The Newfoundland
traders, however, indulge in the hope that
the ingenuity of the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer will afford them the relief now
sought for.
