IT lias been hitherto the pra&iceof this
seminary, (as it was all along the prac
tice both of the OIJ college, and of the
old uuiverfity) to examine the fcveral rolis
once aweek-; and on every such occasion
to levy lines (except whsre corporal pu
nifhment was to be inflidled) on such ol
the lludeiUs, as during the preceding week,
liad been cither late in their attendance, 01
absent altogether; at any particular session.
Cut this praffice, however good the
deligri with which it was instituted, was
instituted, was found to be attended with
some inconveniencies. The colle&ion ol
so many petty fines was both troublesome
and degrading to the profefiors. Neither,
after all, could the imposition of these fines
be esp;fted to produce the desired effect :
for, if eonfiderable, they operated rather as
a tax upon the parents, than as a punifh
inent on the boys ; and if inconsiderable,
were but too apt to be disregarded—And,
as to corporal punlfhment, the inflidtion ol
it so frequently, and in so public a manner,
could not bet tend to wear oat that in.
genuous sense of (hame and regard to cha
racter, which it is one great end of educa
tion to cherilh and promote.
jSt a meeting therefore, of the Faculty, belt
JtpTil 18, 1793, l * wai unanimoujly re
fotved,
Firlt, i hat all fines and corporal pu
nilijments for attending late, or for being
absent altogether, at any particular session
fliall be abolished.
And secondly, That on the firil Wed
nesday of every month, thtre (hall be a
meeting of the several ProfelTors and Tu
tois, for t':e purpose of examining th«
general roll, and compiling their ftvera!
particular rolls,when an accurate (latement
of the attendance and behaviour of each
student, during the pieceding month, (hall
be mace out. and presented to his parent!
or guardian."
The Faculty confide, that by thus ex
tending the authority of the parents and
guardians, there w.ll be the less need for
the exertion of other authority; and that
the apprehension of this monthly notice will
be lound to have at lead as mueh influence
0:1 the minds of their pupils, as the appre
lienfion of the weekly fines & punishments
were found to have formerly.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1 5 .
There are letters in town from a refpec
tabic house in Amsterdam, of the 191b of
April, mentioning that their high migh
tinefsthe dates general, will give r.o per
miflion to the American veflels there, to
take a freight or be chartered for tlu-
Weft-Indies. One veflel had been char
tered for 40,000 guilders, but would not
be fuffcred to proceed: The confequencc
is,that there are many American ships now
lying in the Dutch ports, some of which
are detained even in ballad. The letters by
which we have thi'3 intelligence, further
mention, that our (hipping, were also pro
hibited from being chartered even to Su
iinam and Demarara. When we compare
this treatment, with the detention just
before, of captain Millar, of the barque
Hope, belonging to this port, for the space
of five weeks, we are forced to conclude,
that there seems to be an intention, on
the part of some European nations, of
cramping the flourilhiug date of our mari
time trade as much as it may,
for a time, have some efre<3, but unless the
course of nature (hould be quite reversed, it
■\\ il! be in vain for all the nations on earth
to pi event the ultimate profperuy of the
United fatates ; for nature has indisputa
bly laid them out, not only as an asylum,
from the perfections of the old world,but
for the mod populous and greaieil nation
on the earth.
All theports of the French Wed-Indies
<ire open to American velTels, as appears
by the following decree, some particulars
et which we have already pubhfhed, but,
for the further fatisfaftion of our readers,
it is now given at large.

" I have the pleasure to fay, the Iflanc:
of St. Peters and Miquelon furrer.dered al
dilcretion to his mnjefty's forces on the ij
inlt. They attempted to demand term:
of capitulation, which was decidedly rcfuf
ed. Had they kept a look out, with theii
numbers, and such a battery a> they have :
mounting efght 26 pounders, which effec
tually defends the harbour, they might
have given us feme trouble. The numbei
of inhabitants is 1,502 —the filhermen ant
troops arc to be carried to Halifax—thi
others are to remain untill his majesty':
pleasure i 3 known.
" As there are a number of frnall craft
which cannot be sent away, 1 think il
would answer exceeding well (if any art
so inclined) to come here to pnrchafi
them. There are also a great quantity o
si.li and fait."
The Proclamation.
A few days after the Philadelphia mer
chants and tiaders had presented their ad
dress to the President, one of the figneri
(in a large company, of which the writei
of this article was one) declared that, i,
h■ s opinion, the proclamation required eve
ry individual citizen to treat a minister 01
fubjeft of Great-Britain with the fame
refpett as a minister or citizen of France ;
that Britilh and French vefi'els of war and
their prizes, were to enjoy equal privilege:
in American ports, any treaty to the con
trary notwithftandiiig ; and that to obfervc
a different conduct, in either of these re
t'pefts, would be a flagrant violation oftht
neutrality, impartiality, and equal friendthij.
to a.M, enjoined by theproilamation. An
other signer of the address remarked, that
the salute of the French frigate had beer
returned by some American volunteers j
not to pay the fame compliment to any
British ship of war that might arrive in 0111
port, would be fufficient ground for Great-
Brit ain to declare war against this country ;
" but, continued he, if we mufl be invol
ved in the war, I hope it will be on the
Itrong fide-"—Such were the impression;
under which these gentlemen addresser:
offered up their incense at the President';
flirine ! !! —Doubtlefs many of their fellow
wcrfLippers were equally refpeclable, both
in understanding and principle!!!—Wiial
a sublime composition mufl this fame pro
clamation be, which soars so high above
popular comprehension!!! lam told how
ever, some ingenious persons have disco
vered, and can clearly prove, that it is
flri&ly confident with all our treaties.—
It is said these discoverers mean to apply
for a patent.
War !—War! !—WarM !
The public are under innumerable obli
gations to some of the quick-sighted cen
tre's of government, who have detedled
a treasonable plot of certain infernal in
cendiaries in this country, to plunge the
United States into a war againfl Great-
Britain and the other confederated powers.
At an appointed day all the arni3 and am-
icnala, throughout the United States, were
to hpe been seized by the conspirators :
who had formed a plan for inftaiitty em
arking one hundred tkoufandmen in canoe:.
jiJt bottomed boat;, fmacka, &c.
lorne or whicii were to have taken the
Lritifh Weft-India islands, while others
proceeded to France, to join the Sam
Culottes.—Oh, wnat vile incendiaries !

I'ome of which I know to be equal to any; ai'

One fourth of the contrast will be required ir,

as may be converted to active use, the relidue
may be apportioned in convenient instalments.
