the Friends' grammar school room, 4tk street,
and will finifh it in a month.—The idea of i\

ment of the sex—but it is for both
lexej (of any age above whereby
they will discover a new world in natuie,
concealed from others as a fine country is
from travellers in tht night, and as the light,
and the appearance of nature is from the
blind ; this will be a new scene of enjoyment
and delight, as that of feeing is to one born
blind, and will teach them to acquire the pro
per use of their faculties, as a child does that
of his limbs by learning to walk this will
elevate them to a Philosophical region of sub
lime enjoyments and rational pleasures, as
much superior to the pleasures and amuse
ments of others as a man is to a child in fla
ture, and which will endure the lhock of aJ
verfity, and not forfake them like others, in
affliction and old age ; as the use and end of
all real knowledge k practice and happiness,
this course will tend to promote personal hap
piness, and fit for the duties of society, one
part of it will be on the prefer vation of health
of body and serenity of mind, without which
riches can afford no enjoyment : those whoob

Alexander S. Glass, tsf Appeal from the
Others, appellants, j Circuit court
versus ! for the Dif.
The sloop Betsey and car- s trict of Ma
go, and Pierre Arcade J ryland.
Johaniiene appellee. J
In the Supreme CoukT of the Usi-r^
AT a supreme Court of the United
States held at Philadelphia, (the
fame being the present feat of the Nation
al Government,) on Saturday the Bth
day of February in the year of our Lord
one thousand seven hundred aud ninety
four, before the Honorable John Jay,
Esq. Chief Justice, and the Honorable
William Cufliing, James Wilson, John
Blair, and William Paterfon, Efquirej,
AfTociate Justices of the said Supreme
Court, came the parties, as well appel*
lants, as appellee, in the above appeal by
their refpettive advocates ; and after fu!>
hearing of all and Angular, the ma'' tera
and things set forth, and contaiue j; n t j, e
record and minutes of the proceedings, aJ
well of the Circuit Court, f or the Mary
land Diftria, as of t 'h e Diftria Court
; or D# nek in said appeal, and so
lemn argupr ient Q f advocates, be
ing hi"i thereon : the said Supreme Court
<■» \he United States,(fitting and adjourn
ing from day to day) until the twelfth
day of February instant, took the fame
into consideration, and held the fame un
der advisement until the eighteenth day of
February aforefaid.
And the said Supreme Court, being
further clearly of opinion that the Dif
tria Court of Maryland aforefaid, has
jurifdiaion competent, to enquire and to
decide whether in the prcfent cafe restitu
tion ought to be made to the claimants or
either of them, in whole or in part, that
is, whether such restitution can be made
consistently with the laws of nations, and
the treaties and laws of the United States;
therefore it is ordered and adjudged that
the said Diftria Court of Maryland, do
proceed to determine upon the libel of
the said Alexander S. Glass, and others,
agreeably to law and right, the said plea
to the jurifdiaion of the said Court to
the contrary notwithstanding.
And the said Supreme Court being
further of opinion that no foreign power
can of right, institute or erea any Court
of Judicature, of any kind, within the
Jurifdiaion of the United Slates, but
such only as may be warranted by, and
be in pursuance of treaties—it is there
fore decreed and adjudged, that the Ad
mirelty Jurifdiaion which has been exer
cised in the United States by the Con
sul» of France, not being so warranted ;
is not of right.
It is further ordered by the said Su
preme Court, that this cause be, and it
hereby is remanded to the Diftria Court
for the Maryland Diftria for a final decj
At which day the said Court being met
and the advocates aforefaid attending, the
Court proceeded to the publication of their
final sentence or decree, which being read
and filed, is in the words following, to
wit:
This Court being decidedly of opinion
that every Diftria Court in the United
States poflefs all the powers of a Court of
Admiralty, whether considered as an in
stance or as a prize court, and that the plea
of the aforefaid apellce, Pierre Arcade
Johannene to the jurifdiaion of the Dif
tria Court, for the diaria of Maryland,
is altogether inefficient. It is therefore
considered by the Supreme Court afore
faid, and now finally adjudged and de
creed by the fame, that the bid plea be,
and it is hereby over-ruled and difmifled,
and that the decree of the said Diftria
Court of Maryland, founded thereon, be
and the fame is hereby revoked, reversed
and annulled.
