NOTICE.
DURING theprefent term at Wm. and Mary
College, Profeffor Girardin will continue to lec
ture on Natural hillory. The leifure ofthe lad vaca
tion lias been cltiefly employed by him in reviling
and arranging his materials.
• ** precluded by the limits of a news-paper-no
tice from tracing in this place even the outlines of
his plan; and he deems it unneceffary to expatiate
on the attractions and utility of refearches into na
ture, and of an acquaintance with her woiks.
1 he want of a TnuJ^autu njium, Eofunic £ I." r.n, fs’e.
has been objected to by fome. Unqueftionably, fuch
fplendid inftitutiens are in a high degree fubfervient
to the diffuiion and progrefs of natural knowledge..
Yet, let it be recollected, that no fcaffold, extenfive
and brilliant as it may be, conflitutes the edifice itfelf.
A fucccdaneum not entirely inadequate may be found
in f’.ates, berbalt, \sfc. and, (which is better than
artificial afftflance of any defeription.) the immenfe
hook of nature is every where, and at all times, open
before the eyes of the inquificive. For the (ludy of
animal and vegetable anatomy and phvfiolngy, and,
in general, of what is termed “ the Philofophy of
Natural Hidory,” indigenous fpccimecs are fully fuf
ficient. Botanical invertigations, in particular, do
not indifpenfably require the aid of exetics. Within
a few miles, plants may he found to illurtrate not
only all the Ci.ijfet of the I.innceau fydem, and mol)
of the orders % but alfo many intereding, elegant, and
ufeful^cn.nr, with fome of their mod Valuablefpet'ut.
In the number, beauty and ufefulnefs of her vegeta
ble productions, Virginia yields to few tracts of coun
try of the fame extent. Of this a fingle glance over
the joint labors of Clayton and Gronovius, the pages
Michaux, Barton, &c. Scc. or a few rambles
through our woods, fields and meadows, may con
vince any perfon in the lead degree acquainted with
the fubjeCh If we cannot bring nature into our la
boratories, we can go to nature. In the pleafuresof
uudy.as well as in thofe of die chafe, a little fatigue
is a condiment not altogether unfavoury; and know
ledge thus acquired, amidil a fublime and delightful
fet-nery, is at once better relilhed and more impreflive
and permanent
Until, therefore, a proper degree of public fpirit
among us (hall create and lupport great lcientific ef
tablifliments, let th* efforts cf individuals, whofe zeal
anticipates the rre&ion of thofe noble fabrics, he en
couraged and fodered. «• We (hould,” fays the inge
nious Beddors, “ fet a proper value on our prefent
knowledge, although it be imperfect, and redrain
thole rude hands that are ever ready to pluck up the
tender plants of fcience, btcaufe they do not bear
ripe fruit at a feafon. when they can only be puttin'*
forth their bloffoms.”

GENERAL ORDERS.
Head-quarters on the plains rf Maida
6'h July, 1806.
Parole—Mejftna.
Major-general fir John Stuart finds himfelf in
capable of ex pre fling to the troops the firnti
mentsexcited in him. hv their hr.<*^ ,n,i
pid conduit in the late allion of the 4th, in
which they gained fo fignal a triumph over a
boafting and infolent enemy. Their diftinguifh
ed behaviour on this memorable day, will en
dear them in the breads of their grateful coun
trymen ; it will enfure to them the applaufe of
their approving fovereign, and add another im
mortal wreath to the laurels of the ilritith ar
my.
The light brigade under col. Kempt, who
led the attack, and who charged and broke the
enemy’s favorite firft light corps, difplayed a
combined inftance of gallantry & difeipline, of
which military records have furnifhed but few
examples.
The 78th and gift regiments, which formed
the brigade of general Auckland, fhared the firft
and fevered part of the allion with the infantry,
whom they were ordered to fupport ; and tile
gallantry and good conduit of the brigadier
genera’, in fulfilling this duty, were mod no
bly feconded by the brave regiments under Isis
orders.
The battalion of grenadiers, and the 27th re
giment, under the orders of brigadier-genera!
Cole, made a firm and intrepid refiflancc againft
a fuperior force; and the manoeuvre of the
2ith regiment, in throwing hack a wing to re
ceive the enemy’s cavalry, was the rtrongeft
token of the excellent difeipline of thatcorp0.
1 he 58th and Watteville’a regiments, which
formed the brigade under the orders of Col.
Ofwald, and which were brought up as a fe
cond line, fuftained the advanced columns with
the greated fpirit and intrepidity.
The conduit of lieutenant-colonel Rofs in
throwing the 20th regiment into the wood, on
the enemy’s flank, while the iatter were at
tempting to turn our left, was a prompt difplav
of gallantry and judgment, to which the army
wan mod critically indebted.
The artillery was well provided, and mod
efTcltually ferved under the direltions of major
Lemoine, the commandant of that corps.
From the various public departments of the
army, and efpecially from lieut. col. Hunbury,
the deputy quarter mailer general, Sir John
Stuart has to acknowledge the mod marked and
a nr aflidance, not only during the continuance
of the altion itfelf, but in all the arrangements
preparatory to its commencement.
No language that the major gen. could a
dopt, could bear any proportion to the feeling
with which lie recurs to all the ciremnftances
of this great—this fignal day. To ofTer the ex
predion of his own humble thanks, on fo me
morable an occafion, would be prefumptuous.
The army will receive the only acknowledg
mentsadcquite to their deeds, in the approba
tion of their fovereign and their country ; and
every foldicr whom tbe gen. now has the honor
of add:cf!ing« wili have an equal right with
hill.fi If to make the boalt hereafter, that he
bote a part in the glorious battle of Maida.

FROM BELL’S V/EERLY MESSENGER,
THE PASS OF THE CATTARO.
A very extraordinary evidence of the origin
of Bonaparte’s value for this important pafs is
in exigence; and what is remarkable, it his heen
f > for feven veers, without having heen much
noticed. During the French Revolution, two
adventurers, Nicolo and Dimo Stephanopoli,
were employed, firfl by the Committee of Pub
lic Safety, and afterwards by “ the General in
Chief Bonaparte,” upon millions into Greece, as
propagandas and difeoverers of w hat could be
done there for the benefit of France. Their
travels were publifhed in Paris, in 1799, of
courfe not without the permiffionof the French
Government. From o e of their volumes we
extra»5l 'he following interfiling converfation,
which Dimo profefles to have had with Bona
patte, at the head-quarters at Milan, in July,
1797, on the fubject of the Peace then n,-go
ciating between the Emperor of Germany and
France.
“ Dimo—Do you as it is rumoured, cede
Dalmatia to the Emperor ?
“ Bonaparte—Does that aftonifh you ?”
“ Dimo—Much $ excufe my freedom ; my
claims are founded on local and political infor
mation. I:i poirefiion of Dahnatfa, the empe
ror, if he chocfes it, will be fonn mailer of AI
hauia and Greece. The Sclavoniaus of the
mouth of the Cattaro and Monte Negro, Who
can bring into the field 35,009 men, inveterate
enemies of Turkey, border on the Dalmatian
frontier; thele, and the Albanians of the adjoin
ing parts, will receive t e Emperor with open
arms; and, as his army will fortify irfelf as it
advances, what can hi der him from extending
ins conquefts to ConftantinopJe ?”
“ Bonaparte (lomewhat moved)—The Em
peror will not pafs thefe limits.”
The narrative ends with dating, that the
maps were then examined ; and Dimo prelim
ed from Bonaparte’s filencc, that he yielded to
his opinion.
