wder the influence of the purest principles of e

titered the government to which they had till

the circumstances, oUr citizens, therefore, alar

t>\ the examples of su< h patriotism and energy,
*" longer able to forbear, publicly manifested the
imitation of their mind, on the afternoon of the
20s *i inst. ^
Th* most illustrious corporation, ever vigilant
or the common happiness, md stimulated by the
lesire of averting the pernicious evil* attendant
>n similar occasions, although at all times confi
ling in the Christian principles and generosity of
;he people, made application to the Vice Hoy for
the institution of a select committee extraordina
ry to attend to the occurrences of that a ft*, moon,
but which by the approbation of his excellency,
w.*s converted into a standing committee, where
ii. virtue of his excellency's special commissi
•r., Don Juan Jurado presided as his represents
toe, who, after having attended to the demands
‘fan immense multitude, and understanding that
it was the absolute will of the people, that a su
preme gubernative junta should immediately be
formed, agreed to the same. They forthwith
proceeded to the convocation with all the formal
ties observed on similar occasions, and a Junta
was established, consisting ofliis excellency Dort
Antonio Am&r, president, Don Joseph Miguel
l'ey, first elected magistrate, as vice-president,
the gentlemen of the most illustrious corporation
and other members proclaimed by the public
yoke, which body was invested with the supreme
authority to attend to thfe public welfare.
Tnis junta, inspired with zeal, by the loyalty
of the people in favor of their just rights, have
resolved, aa the basis of the constitution to which
it will aedicule all its energy, that the following
articles shall he observed :
1st. To support and defend the Catholic, Apos
tolic and Roman Religion, universally received
by our ancestors, and continued by the bounty of
it» Divine Author to the present day ; and for the
deft nee of which the Supreme Junta, together
wi‘h the people, will consecrate all their wishes,
»nd sacrifice their lives collectively and individu
ally
*&• i o attend the rights of our beloved Sove
ri-ign Don Ferdinand VII by preserving this
k ngijom for his august person, till we enjay the
satisfaction of beholding him restored to the
thrum-, from which he has been wiested by the
Tyrant of the World
3. For the preservation of the public tranquili
ty. the spirit of dissection is absolutely prohibit*
rd as d . .gi rous, particularly at a lime when he
supreme j inta is occupied for the gene, al repose
siul prosperity : It particularly recummends chat
love winch the people ought to enter)uin fur the
European Spaniards ; by regarding them as bre
luren and f -llow citizens observing) that upon
a point ot such importance, the Junta itself will
adopt the most active and vigorous measures, in
order to prevent the progress of an evil which
with respect to many ILurope.-.ns, ran be founded
only on principles either doubtful or unexamiued
—to which may be added resentments which it is
necessary to dissipate a9 they are opposite to the
character of a people professing Christianity - »
With a view of contributing to this tranquility,
the ringing of bells, unless upon ordinary occasi
ons, is absolutely forbidden, as also the creation
of any other alarm, unless by order of the jun
ta. J
4 The public may make any demand they
please, through the medium of the Attorney Ge
neral, in whom confidence is reposed ; bui they
must conform in every tiling to the decisions of
the Junta, who will appi ■ove what may be just, j
and reject, after mature examination, whatever,
instead of tending to public welfare, may only
produce public discontent, and mischievous con
#i quences, il not properly weighed and consider
ed.
5. The public may rest assured that we ate all
in security ; that we have no hostility to dread
from the interior or exterior, and are to underw
stand that the arms which were tne object of their
apprehensions, are secured, and ibat none remain
in the hands of the military, but such as are bare
ly indispensable for daily service ; the remain
der being deposited in the care ot the Junta,

in-en indue •! to take, as private scholars, a few

th-ir improvement, may avail themselves of
i.i.s privilege.
Ancient and Modern Geography, and as much

with winch our youth are often too supci fi
nally acquainted ; fortltrse 1 shall liirm a class,
if a sufficient number of pup1 Is are emered by
their parents ; t wo quarters devoted to this pur
pose, during tlie intervals of the regular coliegi
ite exercises, will serve to give a general vie#
.if the whole.
It has been found necessary to make some aL
locations in the mathematical course, the sh irt
time that nur student* generally remain at Col
leg , and the strangely defective state of prepa
ration in which many of them continence their
utiidu'S in my classes, have compelled me to re
ject much of the ancient method of demonstra
tion, and many tilings in modern mat hem.sticks
which arc mic e properly objects of speculation
than of ufdity Hutton’s and Bonny* asile’s
works come nearer to the plan l wish to pursue,
in tlie junior lass, than those of any other wri
er. By composing the mumr brunches, anti
by adopting in guuerjl simple aiuicouviucing, ra
ther tlian nv>re scientific and elaborate models
if elucidation, I have been able lodupense with
i great part ofilie usual routine, and in conse
pien: e, to introduce Fluxions and Astronomy,
i knowledge of which is now, by order of tlie
mciety, necessary to obtain a degree ; 1 have al
to made room for the application of mathemat

Publick examinations* for the satisfaction of
pa '-its and guardians, will beheld in February,

properly c inducted, is acknowledged by all who
tiave any experience in the business of instruc
tion.
The local advantages or Williamsburg as a

W ien 1 undertook, in conjunction with Mr.
Plunkett, to t stablito a .system of female educa
tion in Williamsburg, it was not my intention t»
receive very young pupils, ignorant of the first
rud.ments of knowledge. I wish those who en
ter in future to be uble to spell, read and write,
and to know something of numbers ; c'trcttm

c ors . for a young lady, wil1 -pp- ir st augs, i

Vng.u a, and of a much loiter p-rtwd m other
coontries, ha- taught me that ti male- ire, m ma
ny instances, at least as rjpable of quiring t' at
kmd of learning which d-mauds pio -ut invest!,
gation, as the other sex I was apprised at the
comm ncement of the school, Mist I should htvd
to encounter many of those Uiffi nUies common
to all those who incur the charge of innovation by
deviatiog from the beaten ro-d ; these have, how
ever, proved leas formidable than 1 had anticipa
ted ; I have persevered in my plan, fully convin
ced of its utility ; the school has gradually pro
gressed, and 1 have the satisfaction to know that
ii is approved by persom of acknowledged taste
and judgment. J have endeavored to render it
worthy of their patronage, Ky bestowing on those
committed to my care, the same kind and degree
of attention which I devote to my own children,
my anxiety for whose education, and my despair
of teeing it accomplished in the way which I ap
proved, were my primary inducements to form
the establishment.
Mr Plunkett and myself have uniformly coin
C'ded in opinion respecting the plan and conduct
of the School, and we believe that, to proceed,
with advantage, through all the branches which
our system embraces, ii is indispensably necessa
ry to attend two courses : Nothing can indeed
hr more unreasonable than to expect that any so
lid knowledge of these sciences can be gained in
a few months: Mr Plunkett thinks that Music,
including them y and practice, requires at least
the apolica’ion ol two years ; a few trifing tune*
m«y be learned in a short lime, but execution ois
the Piano Forte, or on almost any other instru
ment, must be the result of much exercise : Ho
deems it needless lossy any thing of French ; e
very one knows that the acquisition of a ot ign
language must he a work of time In giving thi»
tntim *tton to the public, w-sre influenced by cor
rect motives We ieel reluctant that young ladies
should go from our school m-re sciv fiats : anxi
ous to impart to them the genuine principles of
knowledge, in order that they may hereafter culti
vate the sciences, & find in them a real source ,f
pleasure throughout their luture lives j we wish
*u sufficient time fir the purpose. We do not a
dopt the »iHy idea, that we are to finish the ednea
ion of a voting lady ; we dvs'<re, therefore, that
■ hose who become our pupils, will, for their own
advantage, coin intie with us one course at least.
1 intend to limit my department to twenty pu
pils ; a gr ater number is inconsistent with my
.lollcgiate .<nd otuer duties, and to obviate the m •
rsaity of forming too many classes, I wish them
o commence at as early a period of the •'nurse »t
possible GUO . BLACKBURN.
