. The advantages resulting to youth from this
association will be of great const quenee to the

This establishment will have in view utility,

considerably facilitate the completion of a colle

It must be apparent to all, that, whereas the
English, Latin and Greek classics, as well as
Spelling, Reading, Writing and Arithmetic, and
for the most pait, Geography and the use of the
Globes were taught solely by D Doyle, for near
iy two years in this Academy, when the school
was numerous, that when an additional teacher
of equal Capability is added, the number of pupils
limited, aiul the fees lor tuition much diminish

ment ol the differences which h w so long exis
ted between u<t and the government of the Uni
ted States. We are very fur Iroin apprehending
a war with America, but it i$ a piinlul conside
ration, that the harmony of two nations, winch
are h ked together by so many powerful affini
ties, i*. which have so deep an interest in the mu
tual prosperity of each other, should be lor a mo
ment interrupted.
All the passions which led to that unhappy war
which ended in the dismemberm nt of the colo
nies ol North America, from - he dominion <>f En
gland, are defunct in this country, yet in Am< ri*
ca, they seem but as flic passions of yesterday —
Every thing in the tti'ndof the American Ex
ecutive speaks a jealousy, and .11 apprehension of
the power of this country, which, we are sure,
there are r.o feelings here to justify. N. d ns,
like indpvidiiu!s, are often governed by their p vi
sions ; and tiie quarrel, or rather thvestrangement,
which America has with us, is moie de.iucible
from private pique, f.oin an undetinuble rest nt*
ment, i* an tt luvowtd j -alousv. than am substan
tial and legitimate subjects of complaint.
1 o the remonstrances anil complaints of Ame
rica, the government of this country, under suc
cessive administrations, have turned an attentive
and a respectful ear.
Placed, from the nature of the wirfare, in
winch we are eng.ged, under very extram din ry
circumstances, it may safely be ufoi ined that G.
Britain has shewn a mildness, ami a fort* .trance,
and a lenity towards America, acting suspicious
ly at she has done, of which no exsmp { <.,.uld
be produced We have uniformly held out to her
the right hand ot fellowship ; and instead of per
tinaciously adhering to our own views of any
question of political discussion, which has ari-. 11
! between us, we have referred to t,.ose of the A
j mericangovernment,
[ In private disputes it may be laid down as a
fundamental max.m, that the man who is most
! angry, is most in the wrong ; and trying the <iis
pute between our government and that of Ame
! by l,*'s teat, it Will be seen that Englind ha*
I been patient of injui ies and insults, almost beyond
ax mple ; while America has been prodigal of
anger beyond all preced- nt.
The war we w ige is lor our existence, and
therefore, if any irregularities occur in it, they
are to be excused by tbe necessities of our cir
cumstances ; out the jealousy and alarm of tha
American G ivernnu nt is called forih by no „uch
1 circumstances. We are their natural .u|y. n0
''reams of conquest, or subjug-iion enu r our
! ni.n. s ; hut we teel satisfied that whatever ron
| tributes to their prosperity, must be conducive

How the dispute between us anil the L;. S »
will end, it is impossible for us to foresee ; tun it
seems to us u sort of unnatural quarrel, or rather
antipathy, in which the real interests of America
have nothing to do, hut her passions* the ill blood
