molt approved sentences and lessons.
3. In the third class, the fair pupil shall be intro
duced to an acquaintance with the syntax and go

course of reading such authors, as may engage the
attention, and amuse, as well as inftrua the open
ing mind ; as Croxall's ^fop, the Moral Miscel
lany, the BritiK Plutarch. In this class the pupils
will be frequently exercised in the declension of irre
gular and defe&ive verbs; and the exercises of par
ting will be continued.
4 The fourth class will be formed out of those
scholars, who, being most perfect in their gramma
tical exercises, are ready to be inftru&ed in the
proper and elegant method of reading prose. The
beoks used in this class will be chiefly, the History
of the World, Jntroduaion to Polite Learning, Oe

Baltimore, July 22, 1774.
MY late partner, Mr. Walter Hall, having by
advertisement in the public papers, contra
dicted the notice I lately published of the partnerihip
of Eiling and Hall being dissolved, and insinuated
that I refufed to fettle the accounts of our Company,
I am under the disagreeable neceflity of submitting
tome fa&s to the public, which may enable them
to judge of the matter.
Early in the spring, Mr. Hall and I mutually
agreed on a dissolution of our partnership, and on
Sunday the third of April, Mr. Ha//told me, ia the
presence of Mr. Jacob Hart, that he had thoughts
of moving to Alexandria, that he liked the place,
and had a house in view, which he intended taking;
that he believed he and Mr. Bernard O'Neal, cf
George-Town, would enter into partnerffiip.—On
the 26th of April, we entered into arbitration bonds
for the final end and determination of all matters
fubfilting between us. He chose Mr. J. Afoburner,
and I Mr. T. Ufoer, whole final award was to be
given in, on or before the 20th of May, who, in
case they did not fettle the accounts against that
time, were authorized to choose a third person as
an umpire, whose final audit, or award, was to be
given in on or before the firft of June. —Mr. Hall
evaded a settlement before the 20th of May, by rot
polling the books, agreeable to his promise. On
the 23d he sent me the bocks, with a note, ligni
fying his desire, that as loon as I had perused the
books, he would be glad of a final settlement, that
the partnership might be dissolved; accordingly
Monday the 30th of May was appointed, Mr. Gil
dart was chose as umpire, they met; when several
entries made in the books were examined by Mess.
UJber, AJbburner and Gildart, in the pretence of
Mr. Hall and me Mr. UJber wanted to commit
to writing what they had agreed on, but Mr. AJb
burner would not day, Mr. UJber prefled Mr. AJb
burner, Mr% Gildart, and Mr. Hall very much te
stay, but they would not. The next day Mr. Hall's
son, who lives with Mr. AJbburner, and Mr. Gildart,
came to me for Ewing and Hall's daybook, which
I gave him; the next morning, the firft of June,
Mr. Hall sent his clerk to me for the company's
journal and ledger, which I sent him, accompanied
with the following note,
66 SIR,
CG THIS day our arbitration bonds expire, there
-1 fore must request your speaking to Mr. 7.
" AJbburner, and Mr. Gildart, to fee if they will
" attend, so as we may have a final settlement of
" all our affairs, which will greatly oblige yours &c.
THOMAS EWING."
Wednesday morning, 8 o'clock.
I waited very impatiently, till 4 o'clock, without
receiving an answer; I then wrote and sent Mr.
Hall the following note,
“ SIR,
<< J SHOULD be glad to know what time it will
1 be agreeable to you, Mess. AJbburner and Gil
“ dart to meet this evening, that Mr. UJber and 1
“ .nay attend you. THOMAS EWING."
To which I likewise received no answer. The
next day, the 2d of June, I was told, Mr. AJbbur
ner and Mr. Gilaart had given in their award, I
spoke to Mr. UJber about it, who told me they had
not spoke to him on the fubje&, nor consulted him
Since the meeting of the 30th of May—Mr. Hall is
pleased to fay, “ I refufe to comply with the awaid
given from under the hands of two refpe&able mer
chants, indifferently chosen by us." Would not every
one ^ ho readsthis, atleaft, conclude that the arbitra
tors had made a final settlement between us, which
I refufe to comply with? The case is far otberwifg.
The gentlemen who gave in their award, confined
themselves barely to some points that were consi
dered at the meeting of the 30th of May, without
framing any general state of the accounts, or Strik
ing a balance betwixt us, which it is not supposable
they would do, without a further consultation with
me and the other arbitrator. Mr. Hall, in his ad
vertisement fays, he told me in the presence of two
or three gentlemen, that if I would fettle, and pay
him the balance coming to him, he would consent
to dissolve the copartnerKip immediately ; this must
have been the evening of the 30th of May, in the
presence of the arbitrators, as I have not been in
company with Mr. Hall since, I told him then I
would give him any Security he pleased, for theim
mediate compliance with the award—when Mr. UJber
dire&ly offered to be my security. Mr. Hall cannot
be more desirous than I am to avoid disputes and fet
tle our affairs without troubling the public. Every
point on which the arbitrators gave their opinion, I
am willing to abide by, save one article, and in that
Mr. Hall has declared his willingness to accept of
m y proposal. Every other account depending be
twixt us I am willing to submit to arbitration as
soon as possible.

not yet complied with; and I call on said Ewing

the said Ewing has refufed to perform, and left
