Monday last was opened The French Academy, Where proper
Masters will be provided for different branches of
education, viz.
The French, English and Italian Languages,

The dancing and fencing schools will be kept in the lower
room at the Freemason's Lodge, in Lodge-Alley, three times a
week, by Louis D'Orsiere, lately from France; who proposes
to teach all sorts of dances most in fashion in Europe, and
principal graces and manners.
The different schools will be attended at times the best
suited to the scholar's leisure: The night school from six
to nine.
The languages and drawing schools shall be continued at the
Director's lodging, as formerly.  Those who desire to be
attended may apply to the Director, or Mr. D'Orsiere, in
