PUBLIC NOTICE.
To the Shareholders of the Vine-Yard Society.
WE the subscribers, managers of the above society, think it a duty incumbent on us to lay before you a statement of what has been done with respect to the Vine-Yard. The improvement began last February, on 750 acres of land, lying in the big bend of the Kentucky river, near the mouth of Hickman creek. It is acknowledged by the best judges, to be a place well chosen, and happily situated for the culture of the vine. Five acres were well prepared, and planted with vines last spring. The time that the hands could be spared from attending on the vine-yard, has been very profitably employed in clearing, cultivating and preparing a farm, the produce of it in corn and vegetables, will be fully sufficient for the subsistence of the hands the present year. The success in planting, and the growth of the vines, have been beyond the expectations of those well acquainted with their culture in Europe. We can assure you, and the people of Kentucky in general, that in less than four years, wine may be drunk on the banks of the Kentucky, produced from European stock. We also take the liberty of requesting a punctual payment of the three fifths ordered by the founding committee. Some of the hands have not been paid for their last year's services—Several additional laborers have been hired for the present year—and in several instances we have been under the necessity of borrowing money, which obliges us to request the utmost promptitude of you in immediately sending forward the sums now due, to Cuthbert Banks, who is appointed collector, for the purpose of receiving it. There are a few shares on hand to be disposed of.—Those who have subscription papers on hand are directed to send them forward to Mr. Banks, as soon as possible.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 14.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT.
A written message from the president of the United States, by his secretary Mr. Shaw, was presented to the house, and read, in the words following, to wit:
Gentlemen, of the House of Representatives,
"As the enclosed letter from a member of your house, received by me in the night of Saturday, the 11th inst. relates to the privileges of the house, which, in my opinion, ought to be enquired into in the house itself, if any where, I have thought proper to submit the whole letter and its tendencies, to your consideration, without any other comments on its matter or style:
"But as no gross impropriety of conduct on the part of persons holding commissions in the army or navy of the United States, ought to pass without due animadversion, I have directed the secretary of war, and the secretary of the navy, to investigate the conduct complained of, and to report to me, without delay, such a statement of facts as will enable me to decide on the course which duty and justice shall appear to prescribe. JOHN ADAMS."
United States, Jan. 14, 1800. }
The following is the letter alluded to. SIR,
Known to you only as holding, in common with yourself, the honorable station of servant of the same sovereign people, and disclaiming all pretensions to make to you any application which, in the general estimation of men, requires the preface of apology, I shall, without the circumlocution of compliment, proceed to state the cause which induces this address.
For words of a general nature, uttered on the floor of this house, and addressed, in my official capacity, to the chairman of the committee of the whole, and urged, with a view to effect the reduction of a military establishment, I have been grossly and publicly insulted, by two officers of the army (or navy, I know not which) with evident intention to provoke me to a conduct which, in some sort, might justify the hostile designs which they manifestly entertain towards me, and from the execution of which, I believe, they were only deterred by the presence of several of my friends (members of this house)
who felt themselves implicated in an insult, which although more particularly offered to one, was certainly levelled at all.
I am acquainted with the name of one only of these unfortunate young men, who appear to have made so false an estimate of true dignity of character, who seem to have mistaken brutality for spirit, and an armed combination against the person of an individual for an indication of courage. He was called I think, M'Knight;—rank unknown;—and to my best recollection of the navy. Mr. Christie, a member of this house appeared to know him, and that gentleman, with capt. Campbell Smith, who as I understood endeavored to deter those rash youths from their scheme, and whose conduct would evince, if indeed there were any need of proof, that the character of the man and the citizen is not incompatible with the profession of the soldier, can give an account of the various instances of misconduct which were exhibited by the parties. Mr. Van Rensselaer, the lieutenant governor of New York, Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Glen and Mr. Macon of the house of representatives were likewise present at these transactions.
Having stated the fact, it would be derogatory to your character, sir, for me to point out the remedy, which it is your province to provide, nor shall I descend from the respect which I owe myself to declare what are not the considerations which govern my conduct on this occasion. So far as they relate to this application addressed to you in a public capacity, they can only be supposed by you to be of a public nature, and it is enough for me to state that the independence of the legislature, has been attacked, the majesty of the people of which you are the principle representative, insulted, and your authority contemned. In their name, I demand that a provision commensurate with the evil be made, and which will be calculated to deter others, from any future attempt to introduce the reign of terror into our country. In addressing you in the plain language of man, I give you sir, the best proof that I can afford of the estimation in which I hold your office and your understanding; and I assure you with truth, that I am with respect,
Your fellow citizen,
JOHN RANDOLPH, jun.
Chamber of the representatives of the U. S. 11th Jan. 24th of Independence.
The president of the United States. }
Mr. Kittera moved that the message and letter accompanying it, be referred to a select committee.
Mr. Randolph, hoped it would not. It was far from his expectation, he said when he addressed the letter now before the house to the president, that it would have been made the subject of a communication. Had he thought the house could have remedied the abuse complained of, he would have entered his complaint here, but he did not conceive it within their jurisdiction, & he was opposed to it as being a precedent, which might at some future period, be prostituted to purposes injurious to the country. The power of the commander in chief of the army, in his opinion, was sufficient to afford a remedy and to restrain men under his command from giving personal abuse and insult. And he therefore disclaimed any wish that the house should take measures for his protection.
The voice of the house appeared to be unanimous for the commitment, and several members, expressed an opinion, that the president in submitting the subject to the house, had acted judiciously, it being a question on which he could not, dare not decide. It was a constitutional prerogative vested in that house alone, and that house, after having a statement of facts, were to be the sole judges of them. The wish of the complainant to suspend enquiry, ought not to have any weight, for if a member was to be insulted for language made use of in debate there was an end to all legislation, and they might as well return to their home at once.
The question for commitment was put and carried, and Mr. C. Goodrich, Mr. Macon, Mr. Kittera, Mr. Sewall, Mr. Robert Williams, and Mr. Bayard, were appointed.

VIENNA, October 26.
The exchange of couriers within this fortnight, between Petersburg and Vienna has been more frequent than ever. It is said that the object is an extraordinary reinforcement of Russian auxiliaries. Besides the Russians already on their march, the court of Petersburg has determined to send 150,000 men against France—a great part of whom are to commence their march in January next.
Of a corps of 60,000 men heretofore spoken of, 24,000 have already arrived in Galicia.
The states of Hungary have again determined to send further reinforcements into the field, if necessary.
The Hungarian nobleman Sueties, alone, at his own expence, furnishes 100 riflemen.
BUONAPARTE
Did not communicate his intention to leave Egypt to any one but gen. Berthier. He gave orders to vice-admiral Ganteaume to prepare four vessels, without apprizing him for what purpose.
This being done, he addressed a sealed billet to each of those he wished to bring away with him, with orders not to open it, until such a day, at a certain hour, at a certain place, on the sea shore. The 23d of August was the day appointed, when all those who received a billet repaired to the appointed place, at the appointed time, opened the billet, and read the orders for embarking. They did not lose a moment, but left all their effects behind and their horses on the shore, weighed anchor and set sail, but contrary winds detained them at Aboukir until the 25th. Buonaparte left a packet behind him addressed to gen. Kleber, with orders that it should not be opened until 24 hours after his departure. It contained his nomination for the command of the army in all Egypt in his absence, for conferring the command in Upper Egypt on gen. Defaix.

LONDON, November 10.
Preparations are in considerable forwardness for an expedition, whose success will be a deadly stroke to the powerful, though at present inactive marine of the enemy.
The French government, we are informed, have caused it to be intimated to the senate of Hamburgh, that on receiving a contribution of 11 millions of livres, they will forgive the insult done them in the surrender of Napper Tandy, and his associates. A less sum it was believed, would be accepted, and amity restored through the agency of Rheinhard, minister for foreign affairs, who is represented as much attached to Hamburgh, from having resided there, and married the daughter of a physician named Rumarus, who still practices in that city.
The embargo ordered by the executive directory, on all vessels carrying the Hamburgh flag, had not excited much sensation at Hamburgh; the event having long been expected, the Hamburgh traders had time either to leave France or to hoist the Danish flag, under which many of them have since left the ports of the republic.
The new French army of the North is rapidly forming in Brabant; it is to consist of two divisions of 12,000 men each; the one to be encamped near Antwerp, the other on the Meuse. Bourneville had the inspection and organization of it.
Government, on Thursday, received dispatches from the theatre of war on the continent. Their silence on the subject has induced a report, that their contents were unfavorable; and some journals have insinuated, some disasters to the allies in Italy. We most sincerely hope the inference will prove unwarranted by fact.
Napper Tandy and his associates were yesterday removed from Newgate, to be conveyed to Ireland.
The total amount of the failures which have taken place in Hamburgh, from the 6th of September to the 35th of October, is 16,353,754 Banco Marks.
From Alexandria, October 7, it is stated, that on the preceding day the Austrians obtained an important victory over the French, and opened the communication, between Ceva and the camp before Coni, which place they had surrounded, and which they were immediately to besiege.
From Milan of the 10th it is said gen. Meias has defeated gen. Championet with the loss of 5000 men. The head-quarters of the latter were at Vinala, and his army consisted of 40,000 strong.
FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE.
Downing Street, October 16.
Lieutenant colonel Clinton, aid-de-camp to his royal highness, the duke of York, arrived this morning at the office of the right hon. Henry Dundas, with dispatches of which the following are copied.
Head-Quarters, Shagen-Brug, Oct. 26. SIR,
In my last communication I have represented to you the circumstances under which I found it expedient to withdraw the army from its former position in front of Alkmaar, within that which it at present occupied, and which I trust, will have appeared to his majesty, sufficient to warrant the measure. The season of the year, which has already assumed here the aspect of winter, gave me from day to day, additional reason to apprehend that any attempt towards a prosecution of the campaign in this country, would not be attended with decisive advantages, whilst the impossibility of covering the troops in the narrow district of the country in our possession during the winter, and the precarious state of supplies to be expected in that season added to the conviction I felt, that the most advisable measure to be pursued was to remove with the army to England; an operation which altho' it might have exposed the army to some loss in its execution, I judged in my mind preferable to any other which could be adopted.
Under this impression, and considering that serious loss might ensue from delay, I have been induced to conclude an armistice, in connection with vice admiral Mitchell, with gen. Brune, commanding the French and Batavian armies, of which the conditions are inclosed, and which altho' they provide for delivering up a large number of prisoners of war, now in our hands, yet I trust will not be thought by his majesty an adequate compensation for many valuable lives which must have been lost, after the object which has hitherto directed them, no longer promised success; and when the only means which presented themselves of securing a sure retreat, were those of resorting to the destructive measure of inundation from the sea, which, as it would have involved the inhabitants of the northern part of this province in ruin, for a series of years, must have been highly repugnant to the feelings, as well as contrary to the character and practice of the British nation. I rest confident, that the motives which I have here detailed will excuse me to his majesty for having acted without writing for previous instructions from home, and that I shall have the satisfaction of knowing that my conduct in this respect, has met with his majesty's gracious approbation.
I am, &c. FREDERICK. (Signed) Right hon. Henry Dundas, &c.

Art. 7. General Brune shall be at liberty to send an officer within the lines of the Zuyp, and to the Helder, to report to him the state of the batteries, and the
progress of embarkation. His royal highness the duke of York shall be equally at liberty to send an officer within the French and Batavian lines, to satisfy himself that no new works are carried on, on their part. An officer of rank and distinction shall be sent from each army respectively, to guarantee the execution of this convention.
Art. 8. Eight thousand prisoners of war, French and Batavians, taken before the present campaign, and now detained in England shall be restored, without conditions to their respective countries. The proportion and the choice of such prisoners, for each to be determined between the two republics, Major general Knox shall remain with the French army to guarantee the execution of this article.
Art. 9. The cartel agreed upon between the two armies for the exchange of the prisoners taken during the campaign, shall continue in full force till it shall be carried into complete execution; and it is further agreed, that the Dutch admiral De Winter shall be considered as exchanged.
Concluded at Alkmaar, the 18th of October, 1799, by the undersigned general officers, furnished with full power to this effect.

RICHMOND, Jan. 14.
Extract from the Journal of the House of Delegates.
January 7.
THE House according to the order of the day, resolved itself into a committee of the whole house, on the report of the committee to whom was committed the proceedings of sundry other states in answer to the resolutions of the General Assembly of the 21st day of December, 1798, and after some time spent therein, Mr. Speaker resumed the chair, & Mr. Mercer reported, that the committee of the whole house had, according to order, had the said report under their consideration, and had made an amendment thereto, which he read in his place, and then delivered in at the clerks table, where the same was again twice read, and agreed to by the house.
The said report as amended, is as follows.
Whatever room might be found in the proceedings of some of the states, who have disapproved of the resolutions of the General Assembly of this commonwealth, passed on the 21st day of December, 1798, for painful remarks on the spirit & manner of these proceedings, it appears to the committee most consistent with the duty, as well as dignity of the General Assembly, to hasten an oblivion of every circumstance, which might be construed into diminution of mutual respect, confidence and affection, among the members of the union.
The committee have deemed it a more useful task, to revise with a critical eye, the resolutions which have met with this disapprobation; to examine fully the several objections and arguments which have appeared against them; and to enquire, whether there be any errors of fact, of principle or of reasoning, which the candor of the General Assembly ought to acknowledge and correct.
The first of the resolutions is in the words following:
Resolved, that the General assembly of Virginia, doth unequivocally express a firm resolution to maintain and defend the constitution of the United States, and the constitution of this state, against every aggression either foreign or domestic, and that they will support the government of the United States in all measures warranted by the former.
No unfavorable comments can have been made on the sentiments here expressed. To maintain and defend the constitution of the United States, and of their own state, against any aggression both foreign and domestic, and to support the government of the United States in all measures warranted by their constitution, are duties, which the general assembly ought always to feel, and to which on such an occasion it was evidently proper to express their sincere and firm adherence.
In their next resolution.—The general assembly most solemnly declares a warm attachment to the union of the states, to maintain which, it pledges all its powers; and that for this end, it is their duty to watch over and oppose every infraction of those principles, which constitute the only basis of that union because a faithful observance of them can alone secure its existence and the public happiness.
The observation just made is equally applicable to this solemn declaration of warm attachment to the union, and this solemn pledge to maintain it; nor can any question arise among enlightened friends of the union, as to the duty of watching over and opposing every infraction of those principles which constitute its basis, and a faithful observance of which, can alone secure its existence, and the public happiness thereon depending.
The third resolution is in the words following:
That this assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily declare that it views the powers of the federal government, as resulting from the compact, to which the states as parties limited by the plain sense and intention of the instrument constituting that compact; as no farther valid than they are authorized by the grants enumerated in that compact; and that in case of a deliberate, palpable and dangerous exercise of other powers, not granted by the said compact, the states who are parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose, for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them.
On this resolution, the committee have bestowed all the attention which its importance merits: they have scanned it not merely with a strict, but with a severe eye; and they feel confidence in pronouncing, that in its just and fair construction, it is unexceptionably true in its several positions, as well as constitutional and conclusive in its inferences.
The resolution declares first, that "it views the powers of the federal government, as resulting from the compact to which the states are parties," in other words, that the federal powers are derived from the constitution, and that the constitution is a compact to which the states are parties.
Clear as the position must seem, that the federal powers are derived from the constitution, and from that alone, the committee are not unapprized of a late doctrine which opens another source of federal powers not less extensive and important, than it is new and unexpected. The examination of this doctrine will be most conveniently connected with a review of a succeeding resolution. The committee satisfy themselves here with briefly remarking that in all the co-temporary discussions and comments, which the constitution underwent, it was constantly justified and recommended on the ground, that the powers not given to the government, were withheld from it; and that if any doubt could have existed on this subject, under the original text of the constitution, it is removed as far as words can remove it, by the 12th amendment, now a part of the constitution, which expressly declares, "that the powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
The other position involved in this branch of the resolution namely, "that the states are parties to the constitution or compact," is in the judgement of the committee, equally free from objection. It is indeed true that the term "States," is sometimes used in a vague sense, and sometimes in different senses, according to the subject to which it is applied. Thus it sometimes means the separate sections of territory occupied by the political societies within each; sometimes the particular governments established by those societies, sometimes those societies as organized into those particular governments; and lastly, it means the people composing those political societies, in their highest sovereign capacity. Although it might be wished that the perfection of language admitted less diversity in the signification of the same words, yet little inconveniency is produced by it where the true sense can be collected with certainty from the different applications. In the present instance whatever different constructions the term of "States," in the resolution may have been entertained, all at least concur in that last mentioned; because in that sense, the constitution was submitted to the "States." In that sense the "States," ratified it; and in that sense of the term "States," they are consequently parties to the compact from which the powers of the federal government result.
The next position is, that the general assembly views the powers of the federal government, "as limited by the plain sense and intention of the instrument constituting that compact," and "as no farther valid than they are authorized by the grants therein enumerated." It does not seem possible that any just objection can lie against either of these clauses. The first amounts merely to a declaration that the compact ought to have the interpretation, plainly intended by the parties
to it, though intended be valued because of the "that danger who an and ar resting main author ning t It a plain illustr tial t where superi the pa judges gain r The was fo given It add tion, solid the and in of nec above last re them as the decid may b their It a cause their matel ted p doubt the ca differ of int be de part other laid d willu tion c timat of the the in fover occa feeli cal s Th ded a ject, inter palpa flitut grant a light ture o which It mu or do and p not ra or ha with adher the re questi exerci ted by inter might conte tion; with so fatis cing t Bus guard ly ref pable the o compl the p of ma libert ties to By th WI States recom State day o mann to tell Geor oratio

to it, the other, to a declaration, that it ought to have the execution and effect intended by them. If the powers granted, be valid, it is solely because they are granted; and if the granted powers are valid, because granted, all other powers not granted, must not be valid.
The resolution having taken this view of the federal compact, proceeds to infer, "that in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of other powers not granted by the said compact, the states who are parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them."
It appears to your committee to be a plain principle, founded in common sense, illustrated by common practice, and essential to the nature of compacts; that where resort can be had to no tribunal superior to the authority of the parties, the parties themselves must be the rightful judges in the last resort, whether the bargain made has been pursued or violated. The constitution of the United States was formed by the sanction of the states, given by each in its sovereign capacity. It adds to the stability of the constitution, that it rests on this legitimate and solid foundation. The states then, being the parties to the constitutional compact, and in their sovereign capacity, it follows of necessity, that there can be no tribunal above their authority, to decide in the last resort, whether the compact made by them be violated; and consequently that as the parties to it, they must themselves decide in the last resort, such questions as may be of sufficient magnitude to require their interposition.
It does not follow, however, that because the states as sovereign parties to their constitutional compact, must ultimately decide whether it has been violated, that such a decision ought to be interposed either in a hasty manner, or on doubtful and inferior occasions. Even in the case of ordinary conventions between different nations, where by the strict rule of interpretation, a breach of a part may be deemed a breach of the whole; every part being deemed a condition of every other part, and of the whole, it is always laid down that the breach must be both wilful and material to justify an application of the rule. But in the case of an intimate and constitutional union, like that of the United States, it is evident that the interposition of the parties, in their sovereign capacity, can be called for by occasions only, deeply and essentially affecting the vital principles of their political system.
The resolution has accordingly guarded against any misapprehension of its object, by expressly requiring for such an interposition "the case of a deliberate palpable and dangerous breach of the constitution, by the exercise of power not granted by it. It must be a case, not of a light and transient nature, but of a nature dangerous to the great purposes for which the constitution was established. It must be a case moreover not obscure or doubtful in its construction, but plain and palpable. Lastly it must be a case not resulting from a partial consideration, or hasty determination; but a case stamped with a final consideration and deliberate adherence. It is not necessary because the resolution does not require, that the question should be discussed, how far the exercise of any particular power, ungranted by the constitution, would justify the interposition of the parties to it. As cases might easily be stated, which none would contend, ought to fall within that description; cases on the other hand, might with equal ease, be stated, so flagrant and so fatal as to unite every opinion in placing them within the description.
But the resolution has done more than guard against misconstruction, by expressly referring to cases of a deliberate, palpable and dangerous nature. It specifies the object of the interposition which it completes, solely to the part of arresting the progress of the evil of usurpation, and of maintaining the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to the states, as parties to the constitution.

TRANSYLVANIA UNIVERSITY.
THE trustees of the Transylvania University, anxious to diffuse the benefits of the institution as extensively as possible, have resolved to inform the inhabitants of Kentucky, and the Western country in general, of the arrangements which they have recently made for the promotion of academic and professional studies. It has long been a subject of sincere regret to the enlightened part of the community, that there was no college west of the Appalachian mountains sufficiently organized to preclude the necessity of our youth resorting to the Atlantic states, in order to complete their education, and qualify themselves for professional employments. The trustees flatter themselves that this cause of complaint will no longer exist. The auspicious union of the Kentucky Academy, with the Transylvania Seminary, as it has concentrated the objects, so it has combined the powers and efforts of the two institutions, and affords a pleasing presage of harmony and public utility.
The limits of this publication will not allow the trustees to state, in a particular manner, the advantages, which they anticipate from the regulations lately adopted. They must therefore wait until experience shall unfold them. At present they can only observe in general that no measures which in their opinion, could tend to preserve the moral, enlarge the understandings, or polish the manners of the youth committed to their charge, have been disregarded. To effectuate these salutary purposes the most approved code of academical laws has been prepared for the University, and will be enforced with vigilance and impartiality by the different officers, who are themselves to be accountable to the trustees for the faithful performance of the duties of their stations. Whilst the trustees announce to the public the solicitude with which they are determined to watch over the morals of the youth, they pledge themselves in the most unequivocal manner, that no influence shall be used to inculcate those principles of religion which are characteristic of the different sects. It is their unalterable determination that the students shall be left at perfect liberty in the formation of their religious creeds. As the trustees, in common with those of every other institution of the kind in Europe and America, considered classical learning as forming an essential part of a liberal course, they have made ample provision for it by the appointment of the rev. James Welch, professor of the learned languages for which station his experience in teaching, his industry and attention, they, have no doubt, sufficiently qualified him. The rev. James Blythe, whose distinguished and persevering exertions for the promotion of literature in the Western country, cannot have escaped the public notice, is appointed professor of Mathematics, Geography, Natural-Philosophy, and Astronomy.
Belles Letters, Logick, Metaphysics, and Moral Philosophy, are committed to the rev. James Moore, principal of the University. The aid which he will derive from his colleagues, will enable him to devote his attention to those studies, which are the last and most important in the course of Academical education.
In order to complete the plan contemplated by the founders of the University, the trustees have also made provisions for the study of all the learned professions. Either or all of the above named gentlemen will feel it a duty until a professor be appointed, to superintend the studies of such youth as may devote themselves to divinity.
As it was obvious to the trustees, that our state jurisprudence could not be studied with equal advantage in any of the Atlantic states, because many of our civil institutions, are in a great measure peculiar to ourselves, they thought it their duty to connect with the University, a School of Law: and accordingly have appointed James Brown esq. professor of that branch. His liberal education, and long residence at the University of William and Mary, together with twelve years extensive practice in the superior courts of this country determined the trustees to make this choice; and the number of Law students, who already crowd his class, give the most decided proof of the propriety of the appointment.
The reasons for introducing the study of Medicine and surgery were not less cogent. Dr. Frederick Ridgely, a physician of long experience, and unquestionable reputation, has been appointed professor of Materia Medica, Midwifery, and the practice of physick. This gentleman is so well known in the western country, that any recommendation of him by the trustees would be superfluous.
The important studies of Chemistry, Anatomy and surgery are confided to Dr. Samuel Brown. His great application, and uncommon opportunities of acquiring an accurate, and comprehensive knowledge of those subjects; his easy and perspicuous mode of conveying information have already gained him a considerable class; and from his perseverance and attention the trustees expect the happiest effects.
The library of the University consists of more than 1000 volumes of the best ancient and modern authors; in addition to which the trustees have procured a valuable Law Library for the students of that profession, and have appropriated 500 dollars for the purchase of Medical books, which will soon be bro't forward.
Law and Medical societies meet every week in town, in which the fundamental principles of those professions are discussed with a freedom, which cannot fail of affording to every student the most permanent advantages. At these societies the professors attend, and placing themselves on a level with the students, encourage them to that free exercise of reason, which is so well calculated to elicit the dormant powers of the human mind.
The University is now in possession of a considerable philosophical and Chemical apparatus; and 500 dollars are appropriated for the purchase of such additions to it, as are most immediately necessary; which sum shall be increased from time to time as the funds may permit.
Boarding can be had with Mr. Welch at the University for the moderate sum of 151 per annum paid half yearly in advance—the students furnishing their own bedding, washing, wood and candles.
The situation is elevated and healthful; and the public may be well assured that every exertion will be made to render the accommodations of the students as agreeable as possible.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
TO OBSCURITY.
By A LADY.
VIRGIN meek, of modest mien, Tranquil air and brow serene; Come, Obscurity, sweet maid, Wrap me in thy peaceful shade!
Come in all thy simple charms; Come and fold me in thy arms; Lead me to thy low-roof'd cell, Woodland walk or rocky dell!
Adulation's crowd profane, Int'rest, and her sordid train, Pining care, and wild desire, From thy hallow'd walks retire!
Come, thou dear, pacific maid— Far from pomp and vain parade; Where the murm'ring waters moan, By the rock with moss o'ergrown:—
Thither by the stillness led, Soft recline thy gentle head; Come, and with thee let me rest, Happy, happy, on thy breast!
ANECDOTE.
A gentleman riding out one morning very early in a place where he happened not to be acquainted, coming up by the side of a woman having a pig in her arms, and hearing it squeal violently, addressed her thus, why my dear, your child cries amazingly! The young woman readily, turning round, and looking him in the face, said with a smile upon her countenance, I know it Sir! It always does, when it sees its daddy.

For dry-goods or other merchandise, two STALIONS, of the following description:
LAMPLIGHTER,
A HANDSOME bay, fifteen and a half hands high, well marked, free from all natural blemishes, was raised by Mr. Brock, in Spottsylvania, out of a mare got by the imported Shandy, he was got by Young Celer, who was got by Old Celer, out of a full bred mare. The cross between Shandy and Celer, who were both good for a quarter, has produced the swiftest horses in Virginia, and 'tis believed by judges, that Lamplighter can carry 150lbs and beat any covering horse in the state. He is 8 years old.
The imported horse SHELLY,
Well known in Stafford and Spottsylvania counties, Virginia, as a horse of as fine blood as any in America, which any judge will discover on inspection, he is 15 hands high, and most elegantly formed before, his hind parts suffered a small dislocation that was injured their appearance, by hanging in rings during a long spell of boisterous weather, coming from England, but which don't injure his coat—Indeed his character as a foal getter is unexceptionable. He is a beautiful bay, well marked, and moves well, he was got by Sir John Shelly's Postmaster, out of a full sister to Hudibras; Postmaster was got by Herod, his dam by Snap; Hudibras was got by Herod, his dam by Blank, grand dam by Cade, great grand dam by Partner.
They are both out of condition at present, but will be in perfection before the 1st day of March.
