whether telegraphs have been established between

have had intelligenre on Wednesday of a date much
later than that of which we Hre already possessed.

Portugal is to he transferred to gen. Stuart, brother
to the earl of Galloway.
The choice of a successor to the prese#t Kin

was generally supposed. The influence that pro
cured the election of the late Crown Prince still sur
vives, and predominates. Letters of the 13lh inst.
from Gottenburg state, there was little doubt that
the Duke of Augusteburg would be chosen Crown
'Prince. A great majority in three out nl the four
states had declared for him. They were all nemly
unanimous in tl.eir opposition to the king of Din
mark. The orders of the clergy, and the peasants,
who had declared against Bernadotte; the first, it is
said, on account df his religion, the latter berause
he was a frenchman. The name of fhe Prtnre of
Oldenbarg does not appear in the list of candidates,
nor does the least suspicion appear to be entertain
ad of the possibility of Gustavus Adolphus comiug
forward to assert his right to the throne.
I rtiiv d l t LUiintS FUND ENCE.
j London, Aug. 25, half-past 7, P. M.
To day we have no arrivals from either France
or Holland, but we have some information from the
latter by two Dutch gentlemen who left that coun
try by the last conveyance. It is impossible to ex
press, unless influenced by the same passions, the
indignation which the conduct of Buonaparte has
excited. The turpitude of Louis has'hwakened the
same feelings, and he is said to have embezzled the
sum of 20 millions of ducats, which had been trans
mitted to Germany.
AUSTRIAN DECREE.
The prohibitory laws; interdicting the admission
of colonial produce have not been fo;pj| sufficient.
A new decree has been signed by the‘emperor, com
manding that coffee shall, under no pretence, be re
ceived into private houses, or used for domestic con
sumption, and penalties are enacted on those who
shall dare to transgress, this mandate.
It is supposed that some relaxation of this de
cree will he applicable to rases hllteafter, where
coffee and other colonial produce shall be obtained
through the medium of France.
Three American vessels, laden with mixed car
goes for the Baltic, which cleared out from Salem,

EDUCATION.
The Rev. William Hume,
Educated at the Uoiversityi and licensed by the
Presbytery of Edinburgh belonging to the esta
blished Church of Scotland, takes the liberty to
announce to the Inhabitant* of Norfolk and its
vicinity, that he has associated himself with his
brother in his Academy, Mason-Street. \
The English and French languages,
together with Geography, Writing, and Arithme
tic, will form a prominent department in this insti
tution. The principles of composition amt the Belles
Lettres will be inculcated in a manner correspond
ing to the capicity of the pupil. The Youth of both
sexes will be instructed in separate classes.
The Greek & Latin Languages too,
both in tlieir elementary and more advanced stages
will be particularly attended to. Those gentlemea
who wish to prosecute the study of the higher Clas
sics with the view of attaining elegant Latimty in
the composition of the Homaii1 Language m.iy have
separate hours appropriated for that purpose. The
utility of this course of study to those who aspire at
distinction in the liberal professions is too obvious to
require arguments to enforce It; And W. H. having
laboured for a considerable number oiyears in these
departments at Edinburgh with gentlemen amend
ing the university there, flatters himself that those
who may honour him with their confidence will not
be disappointed. :
In teaching the Ancient Languages, the Scotch in
preference to the English mode of pronunciation will
be.adapted, from a conviction of its decided super!
j ority; although the advertiser, from his residence
in England and his long' Intercourse with classical
scholars of that country, is fully competent, to either.
The question is perhaps frivulous in itself, and its
merits cannot, without some degree ef impropriety,
be discussed in a publick advertisement.
| For the satisfaction of the publick, among other
recommendatory letter sjwhich might be adduced,
W. H. subjoins the following certificate from Ml.
D alz el. the late Professor of Greek in the Univer
sity of Edinburgh?
4 College, May 28, 1803,
■ Dear Sir, % ' "
You are at perfect libwty to say, in what
ever form you please, that you studied under me for
a considerable number of sessions, (1 have now for
got how many) and that I was highly fjjeasedwith
your diligence and the great proficiency y«u*<n.ide
during all that time ; and that I am perfectly per
suaded, from the practice I know you have had in
teaching, that you are remarkably well qualified to
assist young gentlemen in their classical studies.
