LONDON, WEDNESDAY. AuGusr 31,1825. By the French Papers which arrived last night; it ap pears, that the Spanish rebel BCSSIERES was not made prisoner at the date of the last advice, from Madrid. In his retreat upon Bribuega, it is stated, that he was accom panied by only 40 men, and at the same time pursued by CO carabinecrs. If this statement be correct, no long time can elapse before he wili be captured. The Royalist Papers, opposed to the Ministry, are specu lating co the objects of the Duke of WELLINGroN's visit Pith. They insinuate that it was connected with a ne fitiatinr for the recognition of the independence of the new American States. It is said, that if King Framer AND will concede this point, and establish a representative government the Peninsula, England will agree to provide him with a 'pecuniary supply for his present wants. The Quo:idler:me, however, fiercely asserts, it is impossible the French Cabinet can lend themselves to a project " so contrary to the true interests of France, and her relations with the Spanish Monarchy." The violence with which this assertion is made indicates strongly the opinion of the writer, that what he d.clares to be impossible he believes to be already scoorn pl:shed. Looksng at the recent concession to Hayti, it is r stural to expect that the French Cabinet will lose no time II urging the Spanish Government to remove the formal difficulty which prevonts them from following the ex ample of England. The commercial interests in France are calling loudly for the measure, and if FERDL -74 AND should persist in refusing to • acknowledge the icdependence of his revolted colonies, it is by no means improbable that France will at once disengage herself from tt,e absurd trammels of the Spanish Court, and share the benefits of a direct commercial intercourse with the new States. • 'The J'urnal du Commerce announces, that " since the arrangement with Ilsyti has been promulgated, comma cial transactions hate multiplied at Paris with amazing ac tivity. The business of the Custom-house is increased to aroma This merchandise is all destined fur America, and principally for 'toy:A.- The M oniteur of Sunday contains a Royal Ordinance 1; w-ie, the denominations Jr nuMbers to be taken and Witte t.”erPforward by the cavalry regiments of the army.

Yalta° Chaste, sad i.e two s, . lamed b 1 the forced march which nod .riding dad the Cerocarader, officers who were in the eexrt ofZesalera, had &d seth him to Beibuegs, and that they were the only ones who followed him. The King was still at St. Eldefoose. 6 ` We have just received by impress the following news from Madrid, dated the 22i1 at eleven o'clock at night. , " Beesieres wbo had succeeded in collecting about 20 men, has now no more than 20 with him. " On the 20th he was at lUaranchon, on the road to Arragon, N. lowed at the distance of two leagues by $0 carabineres of the guard, who were in pursuit of him. " The people, the army, and the civil authorities emulate each other in their zeal for the King's service." LFrom the Quotidienne of Sunday.] The Duke of Wellir.gtoa has quitted Paris, and people ask what was the object of his visit ? In whatever mystery his Graces proceedings have been involved, it is known, or at least it is affirrr.ed, that in the conferences between our 3linister and the English General some resolution was taken with respect to Spain. Some persons, who are doubtless ill-informed, assert. that the Cabinet of London and ours have mutually engaged to get the in deper.dence of the Spanish colonies recognised by Spain. That on this condition England will give pecuniary aid to King Ferdi nand, who would engage besides to assemble the Cortes, In order to give a Representative Government to his people; and first to publish a general amnesty for all political misdemeanors. Though we are little disposed to augur favourably of the policy of our 31inisters., we cannot believe the existence of so extraordi nary a treaty, because it seems to us incredible that our statesmen 'should carry their infatuation so far as to make France the instru ment of the English policy, especially to second it in itaplan of encroachment with respect to the Spanish colonies. . _ . _ _ _ As for interfering to give the Spaniards any form of Government whatever, such a project would be almost as disastrous as the war of 1808 has proved ; and we do not think that such a resolution should be taken without consulting first Spain and then the o:her European Powers. It is poasib'e that England may have tried to induce France to recond the polity which it has adopted with respect to Spain ; but we repeat, that it is impossible our Cabinet can bind itself to rropoaals so contrary to our true interests and our rela tions with the Spanish Monarchy. Last night we received New York Papers to the 2d inst. The dispute between Georgia and the Federal Government is not closed. The Georgians maintain their claims with the greatest obstinacy. The Grand Jury of Milledgeville, in that State, have found bills of indictment against the Indians who killed General Mac I\Toslt, and one of the' Judges of Georgia bas forwarded this information to the President of the tlrtyrin STATES. No proceeding can he more unjustifiable or absurd than this. The Georgians know well that those Indicts were altogether independent of the authority of the United States, and had just as good a right to execute an offender against their laws (which they allege MAC INrosit was) as the Georgians them selves. A Boston Paper recommends the next Grand Jury of the Creeks to present Governor TROUP of Georgia as a maniac, and the members of the Georgia Legislature as " a grave collection of noodles." Perhaps this would be the fittest way of dealing with them. We have in another place given a letter from an agent of the Federal Government, in which he notifies to the Governor of Georgia that all intercourse between them is suspended. The Treasury of the United States has given orders that the money of Georgia shall not be received in payment of sales of land, though the money of Alabama and Louisiana both continue to be received. The recognition of the independence of Hayti has produced a very general sensation of surprise and satisfaction in the United States. It came upon them quite unexpectedly. The accounts from Port-au-Prince are not very com municative of the details of this negotiation. The New Englanders generally are known to be ardent in their hostility to negro slavery. We ()Wave this feel ing strongly manifested in the Boston papers on this occa sion. Their exultation apparently knows no limits. They announce the news in these terms : " The first christian nation of coloured people recognised !" The Feui!le de Commerce, a paper printed at Port-au-Prince, in its num ber of the loth of July, concludes its narrative in the fol lowing terms:— " At half-past 9 on the evening of the Bth, one of the French squadron, the schooner Bearnaise, departed for France, carrying with her the treaty ratified by both parties; which will let the world know that the Republic of Hayti. free and indepeneent, has been recognised as such by the authentic act of the French Govern ment. To-day the Baron de Macksu received visits from all the French residents of Port-au-Prince. "At eight o'clock in the morning of the 9th, his Excellency the President of Ilayti received with his customary politeness, the fell. citations of the French merchants and others of that nation. Mr. Barbut delivered a discourse, in which he returned thanks to the President in behalf of the foreigners for the kindness which they hail always experienced in every pan of the Republic. His Excel lency received this expression of their sentiments with.lively cow n . on, to which he replied ; assuring them that in doing his duty be had only followed the natural dictates of his heart. rhe same day the French squadron, composed of the following vessels, anchored in our roads, and at six in the evening the two Vice Admirals of the Eylau and the Jean Bart, came on shore.

By advice, from the Rio de la Plata, war appears to be inevitable between the Brazils and Buenos Ayres. The enterprise of General FRUTAI cgainst Monte Video has undoubtedly been instigated by the people, if not by the government of the united provinces of La Plata. An article we have extracted from a New York I'aper into another column will be found to possess some interest, connected with this incipient war. In addition to the in telligence we have given from the Buenos Ayres Jour nals, we find the following in the North American Papers:— NEw YORE. AUGUST 1. LATEST roost Rio Jnwrino.—By the Norfolk Herald we. learn that the brig Eliza Reilly has arrrived at that port from Rio Janeiro, from whence she sailed the 12th June. Captain Heron, informs that the contemplated expedition against Monte Video sailed from Rio on the 'l.OOl May, consisting of 1,800 troops; another expedition was fitting out, which was expected to sail in a few days, the latter would consist principally of transport vessels with morn and various munitions of war. The conjecture was, that war was inevitable between the Brazilian Government and the Banda Oriental. Our ash - ices from the river La Plata leave little doubt that this country and Buenos Ayres will soon be involved in war, on the question of the possessiont of Montevideo by the Government ofl The Penis of Monte Video are in arrest, and are secretly supplied with munitions of war and money by the individual cid_ rens of Buenos Ayres. They threaten the invasion of Rio Grande, and to set the slaves free on condition of their joining then.

W e learn by r the arrival of the brig Homer, at Beverley. from Rio Janeiro, that the Brazilian expedition had sailed from Rio for alonte Video. The whole of the province of Banda Oriental was engaged in the revolt. The Government of Buenos Ayres had placed, as a m f precaution, a force in the province of Entre itilPl, and it is supposed it cannot avoid taking a more decided in. tercet in the affairs of that province. The arrival of Sir Charles Stuart was daily looked for a Rio. BOSTON, JULY 211. The brig Palmer, Captain Moore, arrived at this port last even tug in 30 days from Rio Janeiro. A letter received by the Palmer dated June 12th, says. •' We have nothing to inform you relative to the expedition sent hence for Monte Video, excepting that some or the gnu-boats bad put into Santo., St. Catharines. &c. in dis tress.. It is the general opinion here that there will soon be a war between this port and Buenos Ayres. The Florida arrived at Rio Janeiro, from Lima., whence she .ailed on the 23d April.—The Castles of Callao still held out, but It ass expected they would be surrendered to the Patriots in a few days. decreehas been passed by the Peruvian government prohibit ing the hmporuuun of all Spanish products and manufactures, four months from and after the 23d April last.—And the decree state, that any vessel coming to Peru with such produce after that time shall be a lawful prim. A pos3.:ript to the Stutereme mentions the serieel at quaatitine of a Dutc • hlloop of war from &liana and 3i days from Falmouth. —(No doubt the Pallas, with the Duke of Saxe Weimar on board.—Eds. Gar.) BUENOS AYRES. By Buenos Ayres Papers of the rith May, it appears that things remained in the same state. The Captain of the Real Pedro had obtained possession of all the arms and some of the munitions of General Lareßaja, and the latter had marched with one thousand troops to attack the revolt:lu, wbo were near ' Uruguay. BAYDA ORMWTAL.—EAEITERN PROF/NOES OF LA PI.ATA. —The last intelligence we have been able to proure from ,good authority, relative to the actual st.‘te of the Banda Oriental, gives ! us for result that the enterprise executed by the worthy patriots who went from this city; is happily in progress. Montev4leo is besieged by a regular force under the orders of the second in coin . men d under Don Frutos Ri ve r a . Don BOtlitiClO Calderon. Colonic !and Mercedes are also besieged by other detachments of the same kind. The Or i entalists continue to display an extraordinary en. j thuslasm for the liberty of th e i r p r o v ince, and incessantly assemble Ito fill up the files of their compatriots. • We have seen an order of the day by the principal chiefs of the Oriental forces, issued at Bureaux, bearing date the 15th inst. It is confined to recommending to the soldiers strictly to observe order, and not to commit any kind of violence against the inha bitants of the Banda Oriental. The most severe penalties are im posed on the infratton of this order, and is most punctual and exact fulfilment is recommended to all the civil and military officers of the territory. This course is taken that the Orientalists may see in the patriots, who have taken upon themselves so worthy an enterprise, their liberators and friends, and not the destroyers of their furturo• and lives.—Buenos Ayres Arcot, .lfcy 21. The Gazrta de Coloodna, in announcing the appointment of 31r. Clay to the office of Secretary of State, makes the following re mark : " Our fellow-citizens will recollect, how much the cause of American Independence and liberty is indebted to the liberal opinions and active interest of Mr. Clay. The other ministers ap notated by Mr. Adams are also our friends. We may, therefore, anticipate the continued friendship of the new American adminstra ' lion." The Congress of Peru, in consideration of the great assistance , afforded that republic by Colombia, and induced by the rumour of a projected invasion of the latter state, have decreed that the Liberator shall aid it with troops, vessels, and armaments. For this purpose, he is authorised to raise by loan 3.000,000 dollars. These may be applied to the assistance of any portion of South America, where required. CITY, T UESD.? Evtwrwci. As we anticipated yesterday, considerable anxiety pre vailed in the City this morning, and the British market, at its opening, had a very languid appearance, which con tinued during the day, with the exception of a very slight and short reaction, when Consols for the Account were got up to 881. Many persons still adhere to the opinion that Spanish affairs have a great deal to do with this decline. It is obvious, however, that any circumstance referable to Spain, tending to depreciate British Securities, must also tend to diminish the already low value of Spanish Bonds. It is our opinion that Peninsular Politics, as far as Spain, at least, is concerned, have nothing to do with the sud den decline in Consols; but whilst the first brokers are selling so largely as they have been to-day, others, in following their example, without knowing why, are de sirous of giving some reason for their conduct. Money, on the Stock Exchange, was quite as scarce as yesterday. Consols opened for the Account at 871 1, then went up to 88 871, and were afterwards done as follows-881 871 1. For Money they were done at 871 1 1 4. Exchequer Bills were at ss. 9s. premium. In the Foreign Market the gloom was quite a great as in that of the British Securities. Greek Scrip was at 164 16 discount ; and the Old Spanish Bonds at 221 : for the New no price was reported. The Old South American Securities declined from even yesterday's depression. Co lombian Bonds were done at 781 ; and Mexican Scrip at 71 4 discount. The new Guatemala Scrip, however, re mained firm at yesterday's quotation. Brazilian Scrip was at 10 discount ; and the Danish Scrip at 7 discount : this Scrip seems more affected by the present panic than any other of the Northern European Securities. 'We need scarcely add, that the Share Market had as little elasticity in it as the others that we have noticed. Anglo Mexican Shares were at 60 to 65 ; and the United Mexican Contpany's Shares, 17, 19. Pasco Peruvian Shares were quoted at 81, 95 ; and those of the new Potosi Company at 31, 4L The Sugar Market was steady, although the business in it was limited. Coffee prices, on the contrary, gave way, and there were but few inquiries for Ruin. The letters brought by the Java packet, from Batavia, bring no political news, although thel are later by ten days than the last arrival from thence. 'I hey are dated the 29th of March, and merely state that shippiug is very scarce there. M. de Metternich intends to dispose of his fine estate of Johannisberg, by lottery, on the 2gth of December. It was given to him by the Congress of Vienna. The tickets are nine florins each. The Journal de Franl4brt of the 211 instant was re- 1 ceived yesterday ; it contained s long extract from the Oriental Spectator, filled with the most incredible and outrageous falsehoods respecting the Greeks. The islanders are represented as having had recourse to hu man sacrifices, in order to propitiate the favour of heaven ! The renegade who conducts the Oriente Spectator seems to forget that there is a limit to the zeal with which the interests of his Turkish masters should be served. No statement be may hereafter put forth in their behalf will now be credited. The character of his Paper is destroyed for ever. A notification was published at Milan on the 21 inst., by the Austrian Government, stated to be for the purpose of preventing any misunderstanding, by which the con travention of a previous notification, dated July 21, might be attempted to be justified. The notification then pro hibits Austrian subjects from causing to be printed, in a foreign country, any work, with or without a date, unless permission be previously obtained from the office of the censorship, under certain penalties. The prohibition is also extended to the insertion of any article, long or short, in a foreign journal. The letters received from Trieste yesterday afford no intelligence from Greece. The accounts from Leghorn state a report of some Greek ships of war being given up without fighting, but the rumour received no credit. The Ex-Empress Iturbide, with several sons, are esta blished as settled inhabitants in Philadelphia. She visited New York, it is said, with a view to her location there; hut finding many reams to prefer this city, is now about fixing herself here.—Piilad. D. Ado. General La Fayette's claims under the late law of indem nity foe confiscated property during the French Itevolutioa, amount, it is said, to six hundred thousand francs. Should he . receive that sum—about one hundred and twenty thousand dollars--(of which there is little reason to doubt, as he comes within every principle of the provision)--it will make a considerable._ addition to the donations of this country, and render the decline of his life almost as af fluent as the commencement of it. It is understood that he does tot go to France for a permanent residence there, but intends to return agaiu to the United States.—Pliila delphio Paper. Kit:ix/art ric.—The Quebec newspapers complain of a system, lately introduced there, of seducing the soldiers of his Britannic Majesty from his service, and enticing them to enter the United States, where they arc promised to he infinitely better provided for either as soldiers or mechanics. 'the persons employed in this business, and w h o make these representations, are said t 3 be decently dressed, and in the practice of occasionally visiting taverns frequented by soldiers, to whom they furnish clothes and other facilities of getting across the lines. Men of good characters, and who have been brought up to some trade, are generally those thq have in view, from their being likely hereafter to repay for the assistance they may re ceive. To avoid detection they choose an opportunity when the soldier is unattended by his comradea, or any third person, when they make the offer of a glass of grog, and gradually introduce their object while itt conversation. —Erening Post.

In consequence of representations made to Mr. Peel, the execution of Pattern, who was to have suffered at War , wick last week, was on Tuesday stayed for one week.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess de Berri ;rilved here yesterday, having fur several days past been most anxiously expected. The most expensive and extensive preparations had been previously made for her Royal Highness's re ception by the civil and military authorities of this place; amongst the former is our venerable Mayor, who had pre viously intimated that it was expected the respectable" in habitants should make the usual demonstrations of loyalty, by decorating the exterior of their houses, exhibiting branches of laurel, and the ordinary number of white flags. Amongst the most attractive spots, and where the greatest attention in this respect appears to have been paid, were the Grande Place, Rue Royale, and Rue de Havre, which were decorated with drapery, &c. at no inconsiderable trouble and expense. The Hotel de Ville, of course, cut the most conspicuous figure, in point of costly expenditure. A garde d'l:onneur, composed of fifteen young citizens, sons of the most reputable and wealthy inhabitants of Calais, were in attendance to escort her Royal Highness from Mar 'quoise ; they were dressed in moat splendid new uniforms for the occasion. Upon the arrival of her Royal Highness, about five o'clock, the Pompiers, or volunteers of the place, were dr awn out under arms ; the Mayor, Governor, Civil and :Military Authorities, to the number of nearly one hundred, were shortly afterwards introduced, and, at seven o'clock, her Royal Highness proceeded to the Hotel de Ville, where a sumptnous dinner was provided. His Bri tannic Majesty's Consul, Mr. Marshall, was, at the parti cular request of her Royal Highness, present on the occa sion. A military band was in attendance, and delighted the numerous spectators by the execution of a succession of the most favourite national melodies. Her Royal High ness subsequently attended the theatre, which had been most tastefully fitted up for a public ball, where between three and four hundred persons were present. Amongst the most interesting features in the several tes timonials of respect paid to her Royal Highness, I had nearly forgotten to mention one more particularly de scrying of notice—it was a selection of Ladies of Honour, composed of six of the most respectable married ladies, and the like number of maiden ladies, who were in constant attendance. Her Royal Highness previously to sitting down to dinner, appeared frequently at the balcony of the Hotel de Ville, and was received by the assembled multi tude amidst the loudest demonstrations of respect. In the evening the whole town was illuminated, and the spire of the above-mentioned building, being decorated with 364 lamps, had a truly splendid effect. This morning her Royal Highness, after having attended Mass, visited the harbour, and embarked on board the Due de Bordeaux, French Government steam-packet, and proceeded to sea for about an hour, accompanied by the Henri Quatre steam-packet, in which were stationed the fine bawl of the Pompiers. Upon her Royal Highness's leaving the harbour, and on het return, a Royal salute was fired from the guns of Fort Rouge. Her Royal High ness subsequently expressed a wish to visit the Superb, London and Calais steam-packet, Captain Black, R.N., which was instantly complied with. Her Royal Highness and suite were received on board, and every particular re lating to that superior vessel explained by Mr. Saunders, Agent to the General Steam Navigation company—the whole party expressing the greatest adtniration of the ac commodation of the Superb, properly so called. Her Royal Highness, after visiting the light-house, took her departure for St. Omer, being escorted by the same guard of honour as far as La Recousse, midway of Calais and St. Omer. The Earl and Countess of Liverpool arrived at Brussels on the kith inst. Lord Sidmouth and his family set out on the 19th for Frankfort. The Chancellor of the Exchequer came to town yester day morning from Beckenham. The Right lion. Gen- Liman attended a board of the Lords of the Treasury, which was held at the Treasury Chambers, and returned o Beckenham in the afternoon. The French Ambassador transacted business for a con siderable time on Monday and yesterday afternoon at the Secretary of State's oflicc for Foreign Affairs, i:t Dowuing street. Mr. Salter, a Treasury 3lessenger, arrived in town yes terday front Brussels. The luggage left by the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge at the apartments of the Duke of Cumberland in St. James's palace, was sent oil on Monday morning to Hanover. Yesterday morning the remainder of their Royal Highness's household in London took their departure for Hanover, to meet the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Ramsgate and the warm baths are said to have improved the health of Mr. Eilistou, so that we are not without hope that by the period when Drury-lane Theatre is announced to be opened, this favourite of the public will have suffi cient strength to resume the management. . . Munden - is hobbling about Brighton apparently better than when he went; he is residing with his son-in-law, who has a house on the Marine Parade, and in whose carriage the veteran is often seen enjoying the fine sea breezes. Charles Mathews never was so successful in the country as during his late trip. At Plymouth, at Exeter, at Glou cester, and at Cheltenham, the houses overflowed each night of his performance; and at Birmingham, his benefit night, acting in the regular drama, was more productive than any other since the time of Miss O'Neil. Terry and Yates, having completed the purchase of the Adeiphi Theatre, are making great exerti o n s t o o p en i t with eclat. Muc h is expected from these enterprising ma nagers and proprietors, especially as they intend to act themselves. This little Theatre will, we learn, this sea son, include more legitimate talent iu its members than it has been accustomed to. Wrench is engaged ; and it is probable that interesting actress, Mrs. Yates, will perform there likewise. We most cordially wish them that success which, we have no doubt, they will fully merit. They are both of them men of superior talent, and they have had much experience in the difficult art of conducting theatrical establishments. A new farce is in rehearsal at the English Opera House, founded upon one of Washington Irving 's popular tales—. Mathews is to be the hero of it. MAJOR Aavax.—A pen sketch of a young gentlemen, in'a sitting posture, executed by this unfortunate and gal lant Officer, supposed to be intended for himself, has been preserved by an American Officer of the war of 1776, in Newhaven (United States). It was sketched while he was in prison, a short time previous to his death, and is said to be very bold and spirited. It is about to be engraved: The Provincial Aggregate Meeting of the Catholics of Munster, intended to be held at Limerick, is postponed to October next, and, as a necessary consequence, the dinner. The rowing match for 100 sovereigns, a sweepitakes be tween Captain Smithson. of Ditton, and Messrs. Arnot and Hutchinson, took place on the River yesterday. The dis tance was from the Red-mill, Battersea, to a boat moored off Twickenham. Mr. Arnot took the lead, and was first through Putney-bridge, when Capt. Smithson cut out the work, soon get a-head, and kept it the whole distance. He won.the match by more titan 30V yards. THE LONDON CNIPERSITT TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS Sta,—l am surprised it has never vet been remince.l that the scheme of a ROYAL LONDON CNIVIeSITY, to be established by subscription, granting certain special inn,, leges to the share-holders, so far front being a new d t . vic , was proposed with great solemnity to our great gran:. fathers, and voted by them to be a humbug, a handr,i years ago. A project, similar in its principle, was the pr , ?. cursor of the schemes which distinguished the year 172 0 Mr. BitOULIIIAM and the " goodly company" of s cout .. men, who are every day multiplying theirnumbers mop : I us, have but borrowed, the • hint suggested to the m " THE ACADIKY Roy.tt," by which the wiseacres of tha: day planned the same scheme of profit that is aimed at by the LONDON UNIVERSITY, for which it is but ma lt . name. For whether you call this intended metropolit.a seminary for science the London " Academy/7 or the L. don University, makes no difference ; the thing is in sub• stance the same. The following is the PROSPECTUS of the great CYDER. TAKING, which appeared, in the F/j/ingPo.it and the ott:: public journals of that day : FRO3I THE UNDERTAKERS OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY. " Finding a genetal approbation of the design o f °la k e proposals for establishing a ROYAL ACAI>LNY herr is fps, which, notwithstanding has met with some difFeti:t:e>, ba reason of the great number of scholars we proposed to be taught as also because some persons ac, upled the sm ol t, of performance, and others the word Lottery, or the metboa of being admitted by a fortuitous way of drawing have, therefore, to obviate all possible objections, though t Et to alter our former, and advance these new prnp asa 47_ " First, That most of the best masters in town 'hail still be retained by us, to teach the following Arts sal Sciences:— , I anguages—French. Latin, and Greek. Writing and Accompts. Muthematicks, in all their parts. Musick—Organ, Harpsichord, Lute, Guittar, the Or'.?..:e Viol, Violin, and Flute. Singing. Dancing. Fencing, Wrestling., Vaulting. " The Sc tio LARS in these Arts and Sciences are to be o , Iwo sorts. " First, EXTERN!, (out-door scholars) who shall come to our Academies, and be taught three times a-week, and three hours at a time, in any one of the abovesaid Arts or Seiencei ; having power to change as often as they please, and learn any other, paving .ss. for every such exchange ; the rates payable by Externs are only 61. per annum, whereof one-half is to be advanced at their admittance, the other half at the half-year's end. The number to be thus admitted into both our Academies is, at present, deviped to be only 500. . _ _ " &condly, Acansittexs, who shall dyet, have chats. bets and necessary attendance in the Academies, under the care and government of the Governour and Masters ,iving in the house. These shall also learn one science at a time, and be taught the whole week for 301. per annum, at two payments as above; or 30/. per annum for 'them and their servant, paying also 55.. for every time they exchange one sei. encefir another. If either Academicks or Externs woull be taught more than one science at a time they shall learn as many as they please at 30s. per quarter each. The num ' ber of these is designed to be only 100: in all GOO. " And if any of our Scholars should be in the least dis. satisfyed, or have any extraordinary business to divert 'en from their studies, they shall be at liberty to sell, assign and transfer, their right to any other person, who thereby shall be capable of the same priviledg,es • or (if they please) shall, at any quarter's end, deduct the remaining part of their monies out of the stock. " We require not a present advance of any monies, but only a subscription of the same, and pla ce o f a b o d e , of every one that designs to learn; and, so soon as the sad scrintion hooks are JO, publick notice shall be given, for every intended Schollar, their Parents, or Guardians, to meet at one of our Academies, and choose among them selves five persons as Trustees, and Representatives of all the rest, into whose hands the subscription money shall be paid ; they giving us security, that it shall be immediately put forth into the Royal Bank, or some where else. where rt may lye ready for the necessary uses and ends designed and mentioned in our Proposals. " And for fear the said Subscription-money should fall short (by misconception, or some unforeseen accident), the Undertakers will also, at the same. time, give the said Trustees the farther security of 3,0001. for a just and Ll performance of the undertaking. " The office of these Trustees will be to assist the Under takers in a Committee (to be called every month), where they shall have equal power with the Undertakers them. selves, to hear all complaints, regulate all disorders, and make such good Laws and Constitutions as may be for the interest and reputation both of the Schollars and the De sign. The care and attendance of these Trustees will be considered out of the publick stock. " Every rational pen' on may easily compote Mat Ws nd any present considerable interest that now engages us is this qjfilir, the rates of teaching being here reduced to tel: than one-ha(f what is commonly paid to the meanest matters, reckoning one science with another; but because his Ma jesty has been graciously pleased to promise, that, so soon I as it shall please God to bless us with a peace, he will very considerably encourage the design ; and, in the mean time, has given vs 1,0001. towards the building of a very large and noble Academy, in some convenient place near the town; we therefore intend to begin to build, as soon as these Subscriptions are completed ; and will only, at present, take two Academies (one near the ROYAL Es- CHANGE ; the other ill or near COVE N T-OAIIDINI, for the present ease and convenience of th e t o w n; w deli two Academics shall be converted into that one, which we design to build. " In this great ACADEMY we are going to: build, and upon which will be settled a handsome And to maintain it for ever, will be taught Hiding, and ALL OTHER ♦ITB AND SCIENCES NOW KNOWN IN EUROPE, and by the best Masters which can possibly be procured, allowing 'cm very adcantagious salaries, that every art may meet with its du encouragement and improvement. " But of this New Foundation we shall have occasion to speak more at large in a very little time ; for the numb( r of our Subscribers being so few, and the Terms of T.ach ing so very advantagious, we doubt not but the Suss..:, lions will MR he full. l." The Subscription Books are now open • one of 'cm at our Office on the West end of the Royal. EXCHANGE. I just under the Oughtropher's office ; the other, at the I Musick-room in Charles-street, in Covent-trarden, where attendance will be given every Munday, Wednesday, and Friday, at the Exchange ; and every Tuesday, Thurada!•, ' and Saturday, at Covent-garden ; from one till five o'clocL. " Also most of the Masters engaged in our former l'rco posals have each his Book for Subscriptions to the same toe Now, Sir, here were advantages in this projeoted Row. ACADEMY which are not to be found in the Maw Foes . DATION, and with all the benefits of Scotch ECONOMY into the bargain. A scholar might at any time exciting? rrc science irbr another for five shillings ! Ile might study the law, and if, after a time, he found Coax-tiro w-Ltrruros too crabbed, he had nothing to do but to down with 11 4 crown piece, and turn chymist or dancing -master, atm' nomer or man-midwife-- " The world was all before him when to chow." The sciences were to be purchased retail, at live shill;no each ; but a great abatement was made to those who t. • . 1 ..; " They shall have," says the prospectus," M ANY AS THEY PLEASE, at thirty shillings per quart' each." A liberality thi s , wort hy o f t h e truly generous anti benevolent Founders of this Intellectual Feast! Po. Jou NSON said, of the learning of our brethren of die Thistle, that " they bad every man a mouth-fall, but uo man a belly-full; ` ' but in this ROYAL AcAnsur, no doubt in the LoNoo* UNIVERSITY, it would be the own fault if he put his capacity upon short al lowance. But same persons, it appears, in the midst of these msg.' niticent promises, scrupled -Me security of perfurmaw ' They were pretty right. The Mailers, with each his rut.' scsiplion hook, disappeared, and left the Etter'', and A a demicks LO count the cost. As to the ONE THOUSAND POUNDS given by HIS MAJESTY towards the building the rent hart: 'and noble Academy, these UNDERTAKERS, SS they FtY s themselves, Bum su it in their own coffers, leaving all th e dupes of their pritjest to leen :time at their leisure.
