Philadelphia Academy. SAMUEL MAGAW, D.D. Rector of St. Paul's church, and formerly Vice-Provost of the University of Pennsylvania. JAMES ABERCROMBIE, A.M. One of the Assistant Ministers of Christ church and St. Peter's. INTEND TO OPEN, On Tuesday the 15th of next month, (April) An Academy, CONSISTING OF:
1. An English School, in which will be taught Reading, Writing, English Grammar, Composition, Elocution, and Natural History. 2. A Mathematical School, in which will be taught, Writing, Arithmetic, Mercantile Accounts, Geography and the use of the Globes, Geometry, and Trigonometry, with their application to Mensuration, Surveying, Navigation, Nautical Astronomy, &c.—Also, the Principles of Mechanics, Algebra and Physics. 3. A Classical School, in which will be taught the Latin and Greek Languages, in conjunction with Chronology, Civil History, Rhetoric, and the Institutes of Moral Science.
A well-grounded conviction of the expediency of the foregoing plan, has been our principal inducement to undertake it. When it is considered that this populous and flourishing Metropolis contains only one Public Institution on an extensive plan, and that many of our youth are obliged to resort to other States, to receive even a Grammar-School Education, the Seminary now proposed, will, we trust, be regarded as eminently useful. Actuated by these considerations, many gentlemen, friends to Science, and to Literary Establishments, have urged, with great warmth, the present undertaking, and excited the most flattering expectations of its success.
Thus encouraged by the countenance and promised aid of liberal men, no less than by a firm persuasion that well-regulated Academies have a most important influence upon manners, habits, and principles; it will be our earnest endeavor to conduct this Seminary of Learning, as to foster the great Interests of Religion and Morality, to promote Decorum of Behaviour, Correctness of Taste, Liberality of Sentiment, and every other attribute of an ingenious mind, which, in connection with good principles, and sound literature, constitute the distinguished ornaments of the gentleman, and the scholar. The building, engaged for this Academy, though affording excellent accommodation, will be relinquished for a more central situation, if such a change should be found necessary.
A master of distinguished abilities will be procured to conduct the Mathematical Department. Persons desirous to be employed as Tutors in this Seminary, are requested to apply, without delay, to either of the subscribers, to whom also Parents willing to send their children, will please to make application.

Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, February 3.
The most positive advices have been received at Vienna and Ratisbon, that 30,000 Russians, as an auxiliary corps, two thirds infantry and one third cavalry, are now marching in three columns towards Bohemia.
The Vienna Court Gazette of the 4th inst contains an official relation of the occurrences in Italy, down to the 23d Dec.
The Imperial army in Italy is to be completed to 150,000 men, and that of the Archduke it is supposed, will not be less than 200,000 men, which, together with 70,000 Russians to act on the Rhine, and at least 100,000 armed peasants, who will give full employment to Buonaparte abroad,
The firm preparations making by the allies for the commencement of the ensuing campaign, may well strike terror even into the daring heart of the bold Buonaparte, who to the augmented forces of the allies, has little more to oppose than the same reduced and dispirited armies, who in the last campaign were beaten both in Italy and Germany.
West India News.
KINGSTON, February 15.
Thursday 5 o'clock the following message from his honor the Lieutenant Governor, was communicated to the honourable House of Assembly by his Secretary:
Mr. Speaker,
I am commanded by his honor the lieutenant governor, to acquaint you that the declaration of Martial Law, recommended by their message of the 21st December last, and subsequent Council of War, induced him to take some strong measures, attaching infinite responsibility to himself, but which he did not hesitate to assume, on the conviction that he was acting in accordance with the general will of the island.
That the Commander in Chief thought it advisable to form into a corps, all those able bodied French male negro slaves, who are competent to serve his Majesty in a military capacity, out of this island; and his honour ventured to name to it, as officers, those respectable gentlemen, who had so bravely and honourably signalized themselves in his Majesty's military service in St. Domingo;
Table with 2 columns: Item, Amount. Items include: That the negroes so embodied, 400; Negroes, who accompanied them but are unfit for military service, 120; Sent, during the period of the Martial Law to Cuba and the United States, 100; Sent to Trinidad, of all ages, 350; Collected at Port Augusta, on their way to Honduras Bay, 6; Total, 976.
That no male French negroes, or male French people of colour, exceeding twelve years of age can be found in this island, unless in direct contradiction to the General Orders issued during Martial Law.
That all white persons, who have failed in procuring the fullest testimonials of their good conduct, have left the island.
That the Magistrates of Kingston have sanctioned the residence of 177 persons in that town, who have been there employed in industrial and laudable pursuits.
That the commander in chief has also in his possession a report, very ably drawn up, and under the most respectable authorities, of all Frenchmen now resident here of high condition and good conduct; or, persons of good conduct, but of a lower condition in life: In this report, the situation, the connections and the professions, of all those who have been permitted to remain in the island, are fully described, and can be referred to on any occasion.
That the numbers in this list amount to 222; which, with the 177, as above, makes the total 399.
To this list ought to be added those planters, and overseers who are settled in the mountains and interior, having police tickets in due form, and since counterfigured by two magistrates in their neighbourhood.
In consequence of the above question, the following address from the honourable house of assembly was, the next day, presented to his honor the Lieutenant Governor:
May it please your honor, We, his majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the assembly of Jamaica, beg leave to express to your honor, the high sense we entertain of the meritorious exertions which were employed by your honor, during the
late martial law, to protect this island against the dangerous conspiracy, which persons, specially sent by the agents of the French directory attempted to form; and to return your honor our sincere and grateful thanks, for the unexampled activity and attention which you have paid to this valuable colony.
To which his honor was pleased to return the following answer.
Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Assembly. I receive, with the most sensible satisfaction and gratitude, the compliment which you have been pleased to pay me in your address. In discharging the various duties entrusted to my vigilance and care, my attention has ever been directed to the promoting the honor, the happiness and the security of this valuable island.
After five years arduous duty in your service such a distinguished mark of your favor and approbation has filled the measure of my ambition, and placed me in a situation almost beyond my hopes to attain.
In compliance with an unanimous resolution of the house immediately after the address to his honor had been presented, Mr. Speaker gave the thanks of the house to Lieutenant General Taylor, in the following manner.
Lieutenant General Taylor. I have at all times infinite pleasure in the discharge of my duty, by an obedience to the orders of this house; but, upon no occasion can the execution of such orders give me greater satisfaction than at present, when I inform you, that your conduct during the late martial law has received the unanimous approbation of your country.
To which Lieutenant General Taylor returned the following answer:
Mr. Speaker, The honor which the house have been pleased to confer upon me, by their unanimous vote of thanks, impresses on my mind the most lively sentiments of gratitude, and will ever be remembered by me with pride and satisfaction; my exertions in the service of the country, during the late martial law, were directed by a sense of duty.

1st. PRAY Gentlemen, is a perfect standard of discount, or interest, calculated on every dollar (without exception) from 1 to 2000, from one day to sixty-four days inclusive, of any value, whether used as a standard, or as a check upon the enquirers' own calculations.
2d. Is it of any importance to know the best methods of computing the exchange, between this country and the principal maritime trading place in Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Prussia, Poland, Germany, Holland, Flanders, Spain, Portugal, Italy, in several of the Windward and Leeward West India Islands, and many ports in the East Indies?
3d. Is a table of all the coins and monies of account in the places aforesaid, of any use?
4th. Are the coins and monies of account in the aforesaid places, when reduced to dollars and cents, of any service?
5th. Is a table of compound interest of any utility?
6th. Is the table by which the banks determine the value of gold, desirable?
7th. Is the amount of interest, accurately calculated for each month from one to twelve months, and on every dollar (without exception) from 1 to 2000, of any value?
8th. Is a table of all the post towns in the United States, and rates of postage therewith, of any use?
9th. Will not all these together make a book, as generally useful and convenient as ever entered a counting house or store?
10th. Will not the whole, when comprised in a quarto volume of from 200 to 225 pages, be worth two dollars?
And lastly, Is the person, who at the expense of FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS undertakes to perform upwards of one hundred and fifty thousand calculations of interest, and of giving all the preceding information to the public in the most complete manner, deserving of your Encouragement and Support?
If the answer is in the affirmative, you are individually and respectfully invited to subscribe in one of the specimen books, exhibited at the City Tavern, Hardy's Hotel, Francis's Hotel, the Indian Queen, Dunwoody's Tavern, the Franklin Head, and at the George.
It is proper to state, that the work will not be executed unless fifteen hundred subscribers are obtained; for four thousand dollars is too much to hazard.

I am, with respect, Gentlemen, Your humble servant, JOHN ROWLETT, Accountant, Bank of North America.

PROPOSALS
By WILLIAM COBBETT, For importing the following periodical publications:
1. The British Critick; 2. The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine; 3. The Gentleman's Magazine; 4. Le Mercure Britannique, or The British Mercury.
THE British Critick is a regular Review of all the works published in Great Britain; it is conducted with great impartiality and ability, and of the nature of our publications of the kind which it now appears, and which have appeared in Great Britain; it is universally allowed to be the best.
[Price 50 Cents.]
The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine is as its title seems to indicate, rather more confined, as to the nature of its subjects, but it certainly is not less calculated for extensive utility. This work is divided into four departments: 1 Original Criticism—2 A Review of the other Reviews—3 Occasional Essays, in prose and verse—and 4th, A Monthly Summary of History and Politics. Every six months it has a supplement, containing a review of foreign works, not forgetting those of America. The Anti-Jacobin dwells less on subjects which are merely literary and scientific, than on those which have a more immediate influence on society. With a bold and masterly hand, it corrects the blunderings of error, traces the intricate windings of misrepresentation, and strips off the mask of hypocrisy. The avowed champion of the church and the state, it spares the enemies of neither, whether open or secret, and forming the publicanous defensive, upon which the friends of truth have too long acted, it carries on a continual and vigorous offensive warfare against anarchy, immorality, and irreligion, and thus establishes its uniform conduct, and thus establishes its uniform conduct, its right to the title it has assumed.
[Price 50 Cents.]
The Gentleman's Magazine, a work stamped with the approbation of all three foregoing years, consists chiefly of communications from antiquaries and cultivators, and of original essays, in verse and prose, written by the most learned and ingenious men in the kingdom, and embracing various, almost every subject interesting to man. The miscellaneous part of the work is followed by a selection of authentick foreign and domestick intelligence, including official reports, state-papers, and a collated of the proceedings in parliament; next comes a very copious obituary, being not merely a list of deaths, but a valuable record of biography; to which is added, a Meteorological Diary and Table, a list of Mortality for London and its environs, a table of the average prices of corn, and of the stocks, & every day in the month. So that this work must ever be an entertaining, and useful companion, not only to those who are of the learned professions, commonly so called, but to the merchant, the farmer, and in short, to every man, whatever may be the subject of his study, or the object of his pursuit.
[Price 40 Cents.]
Le Mercure Britannique, or British Mercury, by Monsieur Mallet Du Pan, is a work, of which one number is published every fortnight, in French and in English, commenced in August 1798, and is continued with increasing spirit and celebrity. It is both historical and critical; it contains a summary, and is the repository of all the important events, established facts and public instruments, which relate to the present war; it investigates points of law, of politics, and national rights; it extends its view over all the nations of Europe, examines the conduct and discloses the motives of their respective courts; it is in short a brief and comprehensive history of the times, equally remarkable for the eloquence of its style, the profundity of its remarks, and the soundness of its principles.
[Price 50 Cents.]
These four works comprise every thing useful in the periodical way. Gentlemen may subscribe for all, or for either, or for any of them. The first order is intended to be sent off on the 1st of May next; the successive numbers will be received at New York in two months upon an average after their publication in London, so that those which are published for on or before the 1st of May, will be received in October; after which they will with very little irregularity, come to hand once a month, the importer having made such arrangements as cannot fail of securing punctuality on the part of his correspondents.
Subscriptions will be received from any part of America, by J. W. FENNO, Philadelphia. No advance is required. The prices are but four cents a number higher than in London, April 3.

AN AUTHOR'S EVENINGS.
EUROPA.
This romance, like the incoherence of Hamlet, has "method in its madness." It is a jumble of philosophy and love, and though the author himself is against me, may be read by susceptible fifteen without danger. Girls will comprehend but few of his pernicious ideas, except the first kiss of love in the grove scene; and kisses and groves are abundantly familiar; no information on this subject can be given by Nonsequ.
KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.
I with I had known the author of the book of Tobit; I should have shaken hands with him most cordially, and called him an honest fellow. He tells not only a tender story or an amiable youth, but mentions his Dog. He did not distinguish with the dry precision of a naturalist whether the animal was a mastiff or a spaniel; he has a circumstance from which one may infer that the dog was a faithful dog. Certe, kind-hearted author, the mention of the household animal did not fully the gravity of thy page. If this be heterodoxy, I am a sinner; but I will retain my belief, if my lords, the bishops, should arise, and throw their bench at me.
YOUNG LYTLETON.
In genius and vice a paragon. A heathen might fancy that his airy spirit, volatilis as surrounding ether, sometimes danced the hayes among the fine and tenuous forms in the planet Venus; and sometimes insinuated among the orators, or did penance among the physicians, in Mercury!
AN OLD BOOK.
Remembles an old check; it may have a dirty and worm-eaten cover, but the inside is of a ribbed. How much more wretched would my small wares be than at present, gentle reader, if my preceptor had not permitted me into the perusal of old books. I peep into them now; and they are certainly better than even the newest pamphlet of Mrs. Thomas Paine. I even prefer the travels of Sir John Mandeville. They are full of lies, it is true, but they are told pleasantly. The novelties of Mr. Thomas Paine resemble the above travels in only one particular.
NABELEIS.
This witty and voluptuous writer, flourishing in illiterate times, was doomed to write obscurely. He was a jolly curate, jelling in his arm chair, and thought it best to flounder in the mud, knowing that should the wings of his wit soar to the church and flap the clergy, he must dance before the fires of the inquisition. He appears to understand thoroughly the veiled vices of the friar and the nun, and writes like an experienced ecclesiastic, who had left other things in his dormitory, beside a rosary and a crucifix!
UTILITY OF OCCASIONAL SECLUSION.
I have read through Zimmerman on solitude, and am well acquainted with that Dame, although I go but little into company. Few pass more lonely hours than myself; and, notwithstanding all the fine things said about society, I often find my own thoughts, few as they are, very pleasant associates. A recluse has meat to eat, which the world knows not of. Seated in my wicker chair, I prefer a fragrant cigar to a noisy reveller, and with a few books and papers on my table, pass as rational evenings as though I had the honor to traffic with COQUETILIA, or dudgeon through all the meanders of a city ball.
PHYSIONOGMY.
Of late men have grown as gregarious as sheep, and it is a sort of universal axiom that there is no enjoyment, except in a crowd. But the fact is, we are too social, at times, and consume amid the jollity of wine, or the rufundy of modish company, those hours, which might be profitably spent in solitude. Old king Darius advises to commune with our own hearts on our beds, and be still. This advice is as good in Philadelphia, as in Jerusalem. I never read twenty pages in LAYATER, even in the abridged edition of his book, but I have my whims, when I peep the human face. Shakespeare talks some where of a "forehead, villainously low," and I always feel suspicious, even of sparkling eyes, if a very puny and snub nose secretly appear underneath. The best physiognomy is where there is most interest and expression. The latent diamond may be found among meaner pebbles; the glitter of genius is often seen amid the murkiest features. Many countenances, when at rest, are like a good landscape obscured by the shadows of twilight. Such faces, when lighted up by the glow of sentiment, or the torch of fancy, are like the glory, in some of the pictures of the Italian school, or like the bright visage of the first Christian Martyr, whose "face was, as it were, as the face of an angel."

MR. FERRIS. That the credit for invention is not due to the big Metaphor and far-fetched Epithet. Rhymists of the present day, the following fragment of an original Sonnet by Tom Thumb the Great to his Mistress, will demonstrate, and therefore may prove an acceptable morsel to both your antiquarian and your critical readers.
When Care all dolorous wakes my soul from rest, And tears in torrents tumble down my breast, O! let me drowse near some warbling shore Where whispering Bells and cooling Bubbles roar, Where love-lorn Whales their amorous pains express, Their hopes and fears, and plain of soft distress. To the Wan Kraken, who, with bashful eye, And pit-pausing breath, breathes high for high; part-obliterated by time.
If it's design'd to all of thee a kiss, Should Huncamunca kiss the proffer'd kiss, Throwing aside on Lake of Tencurff, While following clouds I drench with streamy grief, While all old Brea burns within my heart I'll gulp the Gorgons to avenge the smart.
In T. Clous' time, it is useful to insist on the virtue of political obedience, and to require every soul to be subject to the higher powers. The following sentiments are from a man, who, professing quietism on the basis of the Old School, to the five-headed, or three-headed, or no-headed Liberty of Abbe Sieyes and Apostate Talleyrand.
Every man shall be sedate among men, and among the mob; they shall not regard their kings, nor princes. The prophet Edras, with great solemnity in his fourteenth chapter, describes himself sitting under an oak, and hearing "a tale of other times" from his Creator. The alarmed sage is assured that the world waxes old, and that its future woes will be in proportion to its imbecility. Much evil, moral and natural, is predicted, and this fearful anticipation is gloomily closed, by an assurance that, at length, all the links of subordination should be broken; that man should have no pity on his neighbour, and that there should ensue those periods of faction and war and that contempt of authority so energetically described in the text. It should seem a great Tragedy of conspirators, of warriors, and of kings, is now acting on the European stage, and the fates of Paris, the banks of the Rhine, and the classical temples of Italy, were scenes, in which men were fedulous, and princes disregarded. It is an observation, nearly coeval with the world, that sovereigns, like the taller trees of the wood, are exposed to destruction, because exalted. Such conspicuous marks have, in all ages of the world, been aimed at by the archery of revolt, or the dagger of the assassin. But it was reserved for French perspicacity to discover that kings were necessarily worse than other men, as it was reserved for French zeal to cut off heads, me sly for being crowned. Liberty might urge Brutus and William Tell against their chief, fanaticism might cause Cromwell to sit in judgment on Charles, and Henry of Navarre to feel the knife of a desperado; but Liberty, Ambition and Zeal never clubbed their efforts against the kingly name till now. "Eternal hatred to royalty" is an oath not to be found in the digests of ERNULEPHUS; but coined in the scribblers of St. Antoine, sanctioned by Marat, and repeated by fifth-women, it is now a polite and fashionable mode of swearing, among twenty-four millions of the new gentry of France!
In some of the historical parts of the Bible, we read occasionally, a narrative of the assassination of a prince of the house of Israel or Judah. But the sanguinary act was never committed from weariness of monarchy, or impatience of rule. It was a criminal man against whom assassination aimed arrows, and not a despised monarch. In perfect pure and simple, like the primeval, men were submissive to the aged patriarch and the anointed king, and thought not of questioning the experience of the one, nor the right of the other. Hence no sedition and rarely invasions; hence a happy and quiet people. David, though he might cause the Ammonite to pass through the brick kiln, was not called a despot, and his subjects never judged him from a revolutionary tribunal. I cannot discover that Jerusalem, like Lyons, was razed to the ground by the ancient assassins of equal rights. The invention of a guillotine to stop the prayers of the priest, the bodgings of the prophet, or the mandate of a king was not contemplated by the Orientals. The lamp cord did not depend from the Jewish synagogue, and not a levite before the ark chanted a Marcellus hymn.
But in the enlightened eighteenth century, what prodigious discoveries have been made that there is no God and no government, but what the people can make. Hence Frenchmen are sedulous, and regard not their kings nor princes. But both Etruscans and more recent historians declare such calamities, and the moderate men of ancient as well as modern times talk of revolution in a State, as of the earthquakes of Calabria, or the tornado of the Iles.
THE LAY PREACHER. In a late record of a New York marriage we find the following application of four lines, from the celebrated clergy of Mr. Jago, entitled "The Black Birds." He led her to the nuptial bower, And nestled closely to her side; The fond bridegroom of that hour, And she the most delighted bride. This is certainly a picturesque description of the attitude of the happy pair on the bridal night. But soft—this is a dangerous subject; for "Higher far, and of the genial bed, With most mysterious recreance I deem."
A most elegant and melodious translation has just appeared, of The Dulia, or Kiss of SEVERINUS, the sweetest of the modern Latin poets, who, in lauding the delights of Love, has combined the tenderness of TIBULLUS, the frolic of HORACE, and the warmth of OVID. The following is a specimen.
One kiss, enchanting maid, I cry'd; One little kiss, and then adieu! Your lips with love's rich crimson dyed, To mine with trembling rapture flew: But quick those lips my lips forsook, With venomed, tantalizing look; So starts the snake from the warm sun, Beneath his heated shelter sun; Is this to grant the wish'd-for kiss? Ah, no, my love—'tis but to fire The bosom with a transient bliss, Enflaming unallay'd desire.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, April 9.
Mr. Nicholas, from the Committee appointed to enquire into the expediency of making further provision for the widow and orphan children of Col. John Hading and orphan daughters of M c J. Alexander Treas- Mr. Marshall, from the committee to whom was referred the petition of William Paterson, Esq. late Secretary of Ellbridge Gerry, Esq. while one of the Envoys to Paris, made report, recommending the adoption of the following resolution, viz. Resolved, By the Senate and House of Representatives, &c. That in settling the account of William Paterson, Esq. late Secretary of Ellbridge Gerry, Esq. one of the Envoys to Paris, the Secretary of State be authorised to allow the expenses incurred by him in consequence of his being captured on his return to this country.
The report was committed to a committee of the whole House, and made the order of the day for Monday next. Mr. Leib presented a memorial of sundry merchants of the city of Philadelphia, complaining of the conduct of the measurers of salt and coal, in that port—Referred to the Committee of Commerce and Manufactures. Mr. D. Foster, from the Committee of Claims, made a report on the petition of William Nichols, late marshal of the district of Pennsylvania, recommending to the House to adopt a resolution for the reimbursement of sundry sums of money paid by the petitioner to the jurors and witnesses who attended the circuit court of the United States in Pennsylvania on the trial of the insurgents in the year 1795.
The report was committed to a committee of the whole House, for to-morrow. A message was received from the Senate, by Mr. Ous, their secretary, informing the House, that the Senate have passed the bill to alter and establish sundry post roads, with certain amendments, to which they request the concurrence of the House.
The House again resolved itself into a committee of the whole, on the bill to authorize the President of the United States to accept of territory within the Pennsylvania commonly called the Western Reserve of Connecticut—Mr. Morris in the chair—and Mr. Elmerwood's amendment, to accept the jurisdiction only, being under consideration—Messrs. Randolph and Nicholas spoke at length in favour of it; and Mr. G. Fowle against it—when the question was taken and negatived—ayes 34—nays 51.
Mr. Gallatin moved to amend the bill by inserting that nothing in the act should be construed to draw into question the settlement made between the states of Pennsylvania and Connecticut by the federal decree of Trenton, in 1783.
Mr. Bird and Mr. Sedgwick (Sorekey) opposed the motion—and Messrs. Gallatin and Griswold supported it.
The motion was carried—ayes 62. The committee then rose, and reported their agreement to the bill as amended—and it was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time to-morrow—Adjourned.
OFFICIAL.
Extract of a letter from capt. Morris of the frigate Adams, dated March 8. "On my last cruise, which commenced on the 24th January, and expired on the 1st of March, I recaptured the American felr. Isabella, of and from Portland, bound to Trinidad, a prize to the French corvette Le Berceau: and captured three French privateers—the first Le Gembau, a small boat, with 4 twelvys and 19 men; the 2d, L'Heureuse, a schooner of 35 tons, 4 guns, and 30 men; she had taken two prizes, which reduced her to 29 men, threw 3 of her guns, boats, spare spars, &c. over in the chase. The other, the General Muffens, of 30 tons, 6 guns and 49 men, 30 hours from Guadalupe, had taken nothing; threw 4 guns and boat over in the chase."
COMMUNICATION.
A gang of persons, who disgrace the name of Frenchmen, are now pursuing the infamous practice of depriving unfortunate Negroes of their liberty, in the following felonious manner:—Whenever one of the party finds out the name of an emigrant French Negro, from the West-Indies, they immediately claim him as their property, have him committed to goal as a run-away, from whence he is shipped off to the Havana, and sold for the benefit of the party, which consists of four persons, of whom John Poret is one, and who was a few days ago detected in trying this practice on a black man who had been two years employed by a citizen of Baltimore.—Should not a stop be put to such villainy; N. B. The writer's name is left at this office. [Balt. Fed. Gaz.]
NEW-YORK, April 9. Yesterday a measure boat was suddenly upset in the east river by a squall, and sunk. Two persons were saved by swimming till boats came to their relief—The other, Mr. Thomas Weil, of this city was unfortunately drowned—He was a young man, and lately married.
[The brig Chilian, Captain Chase, which arrived here on the fourth instant, came out under convoy of the Merrimack from Nevis. The latter parted with the fleet on the twenty seventh March, in lat. 25 long. 70. It is highly questionable whether she should beat up to the latitude of Cayenne in less than fifteen days, the tide-wind being always to eastward. From these circumstances we have a well-grounded conviction that the report of the capture of the Merrimack is wholly destitute of truth.]

Philadelphia Academy. SAMUEL MAGAW, D. D. Rector of St. Paul's church, and formerly Vice-Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, AND JAMES ABERCROMBIE, A.M. One of the Assistant Ministers of Christ church and St. Peter's, INTEND TO OPEN, On Tuesday the 13th of next month, (April)
An Academy;
CONSISTING OF
 1. An English School, in which will be taught Reading, Writing, English Grammar, Composition, Elocution, and Natural History.  2d. A Mathematical School, in which will be taught Writing, Arithmetic, Mercantile Accounts, Geography and the use of the Globes, Geometry, or the elements of Euclid, Trigonometry, both Plane and Spherical, Mensuration, Gauging, Surveying, Navigation, in all its parts, Dialling, Conic Sections, Fortification, Gunnery, Astronomy, Algebra and Fluxions, with their application to the different parts of Mathematics. This department will be conducted By Mr. PETER DELAMAR, formerly Professor of Mathematics in the Royal Military and Marine academies, Dublin—and latterly in the FRIGATE UNITED STATES.  3d. A Classical School, in which will be taught the Latin and Greek Languages, in conjunction with Chronology, Civil History, Rhetoric, and the Institutes of Moral Science.  A well grounded conviction of the expediency of the foregoing plan, has been our principal inducement to undertake it. When it is considered that this populous and flourishing Metropolis contains only one Public Institution on an extensive plan, and that many of our youth are obliged to resort to other States, to receive even a Grammar School Education, the Seminary now proposed, will, we trust, be regarded as eminently useful.
Activated by these considerations, many gentlemen, friends to Science, and to Literary Establishments, have urged, with great warmth, the present undertaking, and excited the most flattering expectations of its success.
Thus encouraged by the countenance and promised aid of liberal men, no less than by a firm persuasion that well-regulated Academies have a most important influence upon manners, habits, and principles; it will be our earnest endeavor so to conduct this Seminary of Learning, as to subserve the great interests of Religion and Morality, to promote Decorum of Behaviour, Correctness of Taste, Liberality of Sentiment, and every other attribute of an ingenious mind, which, in connection with good principles, and sound literature, constitute the distinguished ornaments of the gentleman, and the scholar.
The building, engaged for this Academy, though affording excellent accommodation, will be relinquished for a more central situation, if such a change should be found necessary.
Persons desirous to be employed as Tutors in this Seminary, are requested to apply, without delay, to either of the subscribers, to whom also Parents wishing to send their children, will please to make application.

FACTS.
Submitted to public co-sideration, as additional evidence of the efficacy of DR. HAMILTON'S MEDICINES, IN THE CURE OF RHEUMATISM.
JOHN HOOVER, Rope-maker, South Second street between Mary and Christian streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath, as follows: namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was for severely afflicted with violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of never being able to walk again, without the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy resorted to. When seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mullein, which were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 12, South Second street, the said application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.
DANGEROUS COLD.
DAVID GILBERT, Toyman, No. 46, South Fourth Street, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath, as follows: namely, that about eight months ago, he caught a severe cold, which resisted every remedy he could think of, and produced the most alarming effects; he could procure no rest for incessant coughing, nor breathe without great pain and difficulty, and was finally so exhausted, as to be scarcely able to walk about, which left his friends little hope of his recovery, though the prescriptions of a respectable physician were constantly attended to. In this situation he was cured of the efficacy of Hamilton's Essence, a bottle was procured from Mr. Birch, No. 12, South Second Street; the first dose of which afforded the most surprising relief, and gave him more ease than he had enjoyed during the whole of the above period, and before the contents of one bottle were taken, he was perfectly cured, his strength and appetite recovered, and now a symptom of his former distressing complaints remained.
TO PARENTS.
Who may have Children afflicted with the Hooping Cough. This disorder is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable - The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
WORMS.
A daughter of Mr. Ewing Wiley, No. 100, Cedar street, Philadelphia, was dreadfully afflicted with worms, which she had for some time with great resistance resisted; her complexion faded and grew pale and sallow; her eyes sunken; her appetite was lost, and she was reduced by a painful and constant sickness, to the stomach; which general wasting and debility was accompanied with every appearance of a dangerous fever. From this deplorable situation she was relieved, and restored to a state of perfect health and strength in a few days, by the use of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges, which expelled a great number of large pinworms, from six to nine inches in length, one of which being a most extraordinary specimen, dropped from half an inch to an inch in diameter, was opened and found to contain a quantity of young ones.
MAP OF NEW JERSEY.
THE commissioners appointed for the purpose of circulating subscription papers, to the proposed plan of procuring an accurate Map of New Jersey, immediately after their appointment transferred printed copies of the plan to various persons in the several counties of this state, and in the cities of New York and Philadelphia, and since that time, through the medium of the public prints, have requested the gentlemen entrusted with those papers, to return the number of subscribers by them respectively procured, to James Fater, Esq. at Trenton, on or before the 6th day of February last. The number of subscriptions received, not amounting to two thousand, the commissioners did not conceive themselves authorized by the act for the meeting of the company, were therefore of opinion from respectable information, that the actual subscriptions are nearly, if not fully, adequate to the complete organization of the company, if they could be ascertained by regular returns, and being convinced that a trading degree of exertion, on the part of the persons holding the subscription lists, would enable them to carry the intention of the subscribers into effect, they have by the unanimous advice and consent of the subscribers, whom they have been able to consult, fixed on the 14th day of May next, being the day appointed by the act for the meeting of the subscribers at the State House in Trenton, for the purpose of electing five Trustees and a Treasurer; if the number of subscribers then should be sufficient, or in any event to determine on the measures necessary to secure the attainment of an object so useful to the state.
