taken measures for establishing a freeschool for Jewish children , and -have begun to print a series of Tracts , designed to help forward their abject . — They invite subscriptions towards this particular plan , and request such Christians to give in their names as are willing to take in Jewish apprentices or servants .
LUTHERANS in FRANCE . —A petition has lately been presented by the Lutheran Protestants in Paris to the Minister of Religion , signed by the fathers of fifty families , in which they crave further assistance from Government , it being at present impossible for them to avail themselves of the benefits
of the decree in their favour , because they are neither sufficiently numerous nor opulent to defray the rest of the espences 'which Government are not engaged to pay . They therefore pray , that if a larger sura cannot be allowed them for the support of their worship , they may be permitted in future to attend some of the Protestant chapels belonging to tne Foreign Envoys .
SOUTH-AMERICAN MISSIONARIES . —Some of the public papers have asserted , that both Catholic and Protestant ministers in South America , have declared their inability to proceed in their duty , and therefore are about to return home . They have found that " the simple idea of One God" [ they
should have said , the ^ compound idea of Three Gods ] is so far above the coinprehension of these savages , that they despair of success . It is added , the old men , in particular , criticise the discourses of the preachers , with the most pointed severity , and turn every sentence into ridicule !
POLITICO-RELIGIOUS . THE JEWS . —It is impossible to give an idea of the enthusiasm which the Jews of Frankfort , who are very rich and very numerous , bear to the Emperor Napoleon . They call him " The Saviour of their Nation , ' * and
" Their Messiah . " We are assured that the Prince Piimatc is preparing to give them much more liberty than they enjoy at present . The number of Jews in the French
territory is estimated at 100 , 000 ; and these people have been for some years past in pos essipn of every civil right ; several of them are officers in the army ; others fill the place of Judges , Administratorsj and Municipal Officers . In

LITERARY . The Rev . W . Severn , of Hull , has iti the press a pamphlet in vindication of the Unitarians , being remarks upon a publication by J . Hill , merchant of Hull , entitled " The Methodists Vindicated , ' * in which there are some severe strictures
upon the Unitarians ^ We shall give further notice of this work when it appears . Mr . Benjamin Flower , of Harlow , will begin with the new year ( 1807 ) , a monthly political work , under the title by which his paper gained so much
celebrity , of the « Intelligencer . " The work will include a monthly Review of Politics , General Correspondence , State Papers , Patriotic Poetry , Political Intelligence , &c . &c . When the plan is fully matured , it will be submitted to the public in a Prospectus .
The Rev . T . Belsham intends speedily to publish an Abstract of the Evidences of the Jewish and Christian Revelations , in four Discourses ; addressed to the Young Persons who attend the Unitarian
Chapel in Essex-street . We are happy to hear , that the first impression of the Rev . L . Carpenter ' s Introduction to the Geography of the New Testament is nearly sold off , and that a new and corrected edition will be
soon put to press ; of which we shail take care to give some account . Mr . Clennel , of Newcastle , propose ! to publish by subscription , in a few weeks , Thoughts on disclosing the Processes of Manufactories . His plan is truly patriotic , and would , we are persuaded , if generally adopted , render essential service to the manufactures and
commerce of the country . MUNGO PARK . —We are happy to state , that the accounts lately circulated of the death of this traveller are believed to be erroneous . No such a c- * count hes reached Government , nor
have there been any late arrivals from that country by which the information could have been received . It is the opinion of Sir J oseph Banjks , and o ^ her gentlemen personally acquainted with Mr . Park , and deeply interested in the success of his mission , that it is the old
report or the death of part of the soldier , and carpenters newly revived and great 1 exaggerated .
