HAS the pleasure to inform hi* Patrons, .
and the Parent*-and Gusrdiaua of

En«<lish Uranckrs announced in his
Provisory Noiice, will he Mr. Francis
Power,.a gentleman recommended by L«
ropear. characters of high rtspecUbilty
to the venerable Doctor John Carrol, Bish
op of Haiti more, and Whose conduct, and
display of audities, have uniformly neen .
such as to justify the eulogies of hi* j
frunds. |
In a lettrr to L. H. Girardin the R. R.
Dr, Carroll expresses h mself, respecting
Mr. Pawn-, in the following terms.
" Mr Power is very respectably connect- j
ed—his manners & address arc highly gen.
tie man iy. Besides, possessing the talents 1
requisite for teaching _the branches
mentioned in your letter, he ha* res.
pectable testimonial* of his ability to give
lesson* in the Classic*, Greek aud Latin,
and in the Mathematics, In shoit, I do not
think that ynu can find in America a per
son better fitted for the employment, in
respect bo»h to character and abilities.
One of Mr. Power's qualification* is to
speak the French language, See,”
Very satisfactory specimens of Mr Pow
er** penmanship may be seen upon ap.
i plication to L H. Girardin, by such Par.
I ents and Guardians, as attach to that ,
branch a peculiar value.
iu consequence of the above, L. H. Gir. '
ardiu's establishment will, from the first
of Sept, next, stand on the following ba
sis :
> The Greek, Latin, French and Italian
Languages, Geography, Civil and Natural
History, and, eventually, thn literary and
moral course will be taught by L. II. Gir.
ardin, occasionally aided by F. Powkh,
in tvaciiing Geography and the ancient
Classics.

L. H. Girardin has now removed his fa.

vote himself more particularly th ai ever
to the instruction of youth. 1 o the female
pupils^ Airs. Girardin will extend a p«r„

Copies of the same will be delivered to ap.
phCanu. Suilice it to premise that the rules
shall be. ratiunul and mild, wet, such as
energetically to promote both intellectual
and moral improvement. The primary,
tne sacred objects of a scimel shad in nu
