FIVE DOLLS. PER ANN.
FRIDAY, JULY 27th, 1804.
PAID IN ADVANCE.
GEORGE TOWN COLLEGE,
In the district of Columbia, United States of America, under the direction of the Incorporated Catholic Clergy of the state of Maryland.
I. The annual pension of this establishment is two hundred and twenty dollars; but for children under twelve years of age, only two hundred dollars will be required. Those students who continue their education through the classes of Philosophy shall, on account of extraordinary expenses and some particular indulgencies allowed them, pay two hundred and fifty dollars per annum.
The pension is to be paid half yearly in advance. A deduction of fifty dollars per annum will be allowed to those parents who may choose to charge themselves with the detail of clothing their children. The college will furnish washing and mending; but will not keep particular accounts or become answerable for clothing provided by parents.
II. In lieu of bed linen, table service, school books, and other articles usually required on entering establishments of this kind, each student shall pay ten dollars entrance money.
III. The Sunday or holiday dress is uniform, and consists of a plain coat of blue cloth, with yellow buttons, red cloth or kerseymere waistcoats. The use of silk is not permitted. Every student shall bring with him his uniform dress, besides a suit for daily wear, six shirts, six neck handkerchiefs, six pocket handkerchiefs, six pair of stockings, and three pair of shoes, all new. Any deficiency in the above will be charged to the parents.
IV. On the above terms the students are furnished with clothes, linen, washing, mending, lodging, board, fire, candle, table, school books, pen, ink, paper, amusements, and school rewards; so that nothing will remain to the charge of the parents, but medical attendance and medicines, postage, and such extra lessons of drawing, dancing, music, &c. which they may choose to order for their children.
V. The religion, uniformly practiced by the students living in the college, is the Roman Catholic; but for students of other religious persuasions, there are boarding houses, convenient to the college, where they will be subject to the same rules (religion excepted) and enjoy the same advantages for their improvement in science as the pensioners of the college.
VI. Our Boarders must be furnished by their parents with the uniform of the college, and pay annually for tuition, fire, candle, school books, pen, ink, paper, amusements, school rewards, &c. fifty dollars, always half yearly in advance.
VII. The students are taught English, Latin, Greek, and all the branches of Classical Education, sacred and profane History, Geography, the use of the Globes, Arithmetic, and when sufficiently advanced Algebra and Geometry, with all the other parts of the Mathematics, in the respective classes. Particular care is taken that they learn to read well, and write a good hand, and that they speak and write French with accuracy. Four times a year the students are called to a public examination of what they have been taught before Parents and the Friends of Literature. Those who have made extraordinary progress are honored and rewarded. The prize, for punishment, are continued in the vacation to certain extraordinary hours of study during play-time, in order to repair what they have neglected to learn in school; therefore, if they are found defective in the last and most important examination of the year, before the August vacation, they will not be allowed to go home during that time.
VIII. The age of admission is from eight to fourteen. When children are not sufficiently advanced to begin a regular course of classical education, they are placed in an elementary class, attended by a particular teacher, from whom they learn to spell, read, and write.
IX. If the children sent to this College have been before at any other house of education, an attestation of their morals and docility is required.
X. The greatest care is taken to instruct the children in the duties of Religion and Morality; and they are constantly under the eye of one or more of the Professors, who see that those duties are practiced, and that the rules of civility are not violated.
XI. Cleanliness and exercise, and every thing which contributes to health, are attended to with particular care.
XII. All the pensioners dine and sup with their professors, and have the same table which they have. No distinctions are allowed in diet or clothing.
XIII. As long experience has convinced the directors, that a provision of pocket money is very prejudicial, not only to good order, but even to study and application, they therefore request that parents will not be forward in indulging their children in more than fifty cents at most per month, for this purpose.
XIV. No allowance is made for absence during the vacation, which begins on the 17th August, and ends the 15th of September. To these terms the parents are desired to be particularly attentive, in case they choose to call their children home, as the absence of a few weeks at the opening of school is seldom repaired without very great difficulty. Absence from school at no other time will be permitted. It is indeed the most serious and earnest desire of the Directors, that the children should never be called home during the course of their education, as they have found by experience, that such vacations have often proved prejudicial, not only to study and application, but even to content and happiness. Those children who may be received into the college upon other funds, either totally or partially, then those provided by their parents or guardians, will not be allowed to
go home or absent themselves from the college during the full course of their education, unless particular circumstances in the judgment of the President should require permission of absence for a time.
XV. When children are removed from the College, whatever new linen or clothes are furnished them on that occasion, will be charged to their parents. After entering on a new quarter no deduction will be made for the remaining part thereof.
The College is a large building, capable of lodging two hundred persons conveniently. The garden and court adjoining, where the young gentlemen play, are very airy and spacious. The situation is very pleasant and healthy.
It will contribute much to the advantage of the children, if parents on sending them will inform the President how long they propose to leave them at the College, and for what employments in life they are designed. The regular course of education is properly classical; but such as are destined for the commercial line, have a lesson of Arithmetic and Book-Keeping, under a particular Professor appointed for that purpose.
N.B. The above Regulations and Conditions will take place from the 15th day of August, 1804, for all such as enter at, or after that period; but for others, they will only commence at the expiration of the six months, for which the advance payment had become due prior to that term.
Right Rev. LEONARD NEALE, President.

Dr. Jacob Hall, of Harford county, of known literary character, to whose inspection these Poems were submitted, in a letter to the author, expresses his opinion of them, as follows:
MADAM,
I have been honored and gratified with the perusal of your manuscript copy of Poems. In my opinion it is a work of considerable merit, and displays true piety and poetic genius. The pastoral dialogues are commendable for their novelty, simplicity and beauty. The elegies, epistles, and especially the "Man of Misfortune," a Moral Tale, are interesting and pathetic. The Odes and Fugitive Pieces are sprightly and amusing. And the whole composition seems to breathe such a spirit of philanthropy and benevolence as cannot fail to elevate the affections, and to mend the heart. And it is to be regretted, that the author's modesty has hitherto denied the community so refined & elegant an entertainment.
Your Friend, &c.

CONSERVATIVE SENATE.
Extracts from the Registers of the conservative Senate of 14th Floreal, (May 4th).
The Orators of the Tribune were announced and introduced. The Tribune Jord Panvilliers spoke: - he then read the vote of the Tribune, which enjoined him with the Tribunes, Abillon, Callen, Goussel, Prefein, Lahary & Saluo, to carry to the Senate, the resolution of the Tribune, passed in the sitting of the preceding day, namely, "That Napoleon Bonaparte, actually Chief Consul, should be declared Emperor of the French; and that the Imperial dignity should be declared hereditary in his family."
The Orator explained the motives and the circumstances which had induced the Tribune to adopt this measure.
The Vice President of the Senate, expressed to the deputation the high satisfaction with which the Assembly received them, and assured the Tribunes, in the name of the Senate, that they would take the subject into their immediate consideration.
In the course of the Vice President's answer to the Tribunes, he took the opportunity of informing them, that the Senate had been occupied on the same grand object since the 6th Germinal, deeming it a necessary step to guarantee to the People of France all those rights for which they so ardently contended. Though monarchy was necessary, they had rejected the name of Bourbon, because it would be productive of a counter-revolution, and bear along with it despotism, nobility, feudalism, servitude and ignorance!
When the Orators had retired, the Senate took the report into discussion; that discussion terminated by adopting the resolution of the Senate.
6th Germinal. - The Conservative Senate, being in number of members, agreeable to the ninetieth article of the Constitution, and deliberating upon the communication it has received, in the name of the Government, by the Grand Judge, Minister of Justice, in the sitting of the 2d of this month, relative to criminal plots contrived by the Envoy of his Britannic Majesty at Munich, and of original pieces which form the object of that report; after having examined the report of this special commission, named in the sitting of the same day, adopt the conclusions deduced from that report, and the proposal of an address suggested by that commission; in pursuance, they have decreed, that an address of the following tenor shall be presented by the Senate, in a body, to the First Consul of the Republic.
ADDRESS OF THE CONSERVATIVE SENATE TO THE FIRST CONSUL CITIZEN FIRST CONSUL,
The Conservative Senate present themselves, in a body, before you, to thank you for the communication that you ordered to be laid before them on the 2d of this month, by the Grand Judge, comprising original and authentic documents relating to the atrocities directed against the state, and against us, under the shelter of the diplomatic character, by the Envoy of the King of England, residing at the Court of Munich. In examining these pieces, and the report of the Grand Judge, the Senate has been in this case, supplying for the moment, the functions of a great national tribunal. A commission of five members, framed a report, which the Senate approved, and now present to you. The publicity of this report must depend upon the wisdom of the Government. Our deliberations are, in an essential degree, necessarily secret; and, in matters of high policy, it is our maxim to let nothing transpire, but what the Government may think proper to communicate to Europe; we talk to Europe, because the investigation of this proceeding, is not merely confined to France, it is the cause of the world.
Nevertheless, in so much as it regards France, these circumstances have contributed to cast light upon two important objects. Providence has preserved a hero, necessary to her pure designs,
and in your ruin, France is involved. The English and the Emigrants know, that your destiny is interwoven with that of the French People. If their execrable projects had been fulfilled, a dreadful vengeance would have been the result. Heaven will preserve the land from the dire necessity of punishing a crime, that, in its consequences, might overthrow the world. Yet this crime has been attempted, and may be repeated; we speak of vengeance, and our laws are not equal to the exigency.
Yes, Citizen First Consul, the Senate should in duty tell you, that in organizing our social system, your superior genius neglected some provisions, that do honor to the generosity of your character, but which augment perhaps your danger and our fears. All our constitutions, excepting that of the year 8, had organized a high court, or national jury. You thought, that a similar tribunal would not be necessary; and posterity, who will regard you for all that you have done, will count likewise upon that which you was not willing to foresee.
But, Citizen First Consul, there is a debt you owe your country. Your are not at liberty to neglect your existence; and the Senate, who, in essence, are the conservators of the social compact of thirty millions of men, demand, on their part, that the law be expounded upon the first object of that conservation.
Citizen First Consul, a great national tribunal will insure, on one part, the responsibility of the public functionaries, and, on the other, it will present to conspirators a ready tribunal, invested with the necessary powers to maintain the security and existence of a great people, attached to the safety and existence of their First Magistrate.
But this national Jury will not be sufficient now, to insure your life, and the effect of your great work, if you do not combine other institutions in the system, to survive you. You established a new epoch; but you ought to eternize it; splendor is nothing if it is ephemeral; we cannot doubt but this great idea has occupied your thoughts, for your creative genius embraces all things.
You are pressed by the time, by events, by conspirators, by the ambitious. You are pressed by the inquietude which agitates all Frenchmen. You may arrest time, control events, curb the conspiring, disarm the ambitious, and tranquilize France, in giving institutions which will cement the edifice of the State, and prolong those benefits for the children, which you acquired for their fathers. - Citizen First Consul, be well assured that the Senate addresses you here, in the name of all the citizens. All admire and love you; but there are some, who ponder with profound anxiety, upon the probable fate of the vessel of the Republic, if they had the misfortune to lose their pilot, before it had been fixed upon immovable anchors - In the cities, in the country, if you were to interrogate all Frenchmen, one after the other, there is not one who would not exclaim with us, "great man, finish your vast designs, and make your glory immortal: You have extricated us from the chaos of the past: you make us bless, in the enjoyment of existing blessings; guarantee them to us for the future!"
In all Foreign Courts, found politicians exercise the same language. The repote of France includes the repote of Europe.
Such are, Citizen First Consul, the observations which the Senate have charged us to lay before you, in giving us also the immediate mission to repeat, in their name, and in the name of France, that under all circumstances, and at this moment, in a greater degree than ever, the Senate and the people are consolidated with you.
Signed, GAMBACERES, Second Consul, President. MORARD DE GALLES AND JO. SEPH CORNUDET, Secretaries.
PARIS, April 25.
Letters from Constantinople of the 20th March, say, that the Russian Ambassador to the Sublime Porte, count Italinsky, has concluded, with some Grecian and Armenian merchants, contracts for the delivery of provisions to a Russian fleet, daily expected from the Black sea, in the Dardanelles, where it intends to pass three weeks. The
fun contracted for amounts to one million of dollars. - The policy of the Turkish government in admitting a Russian fleet into its harbors, and permitting so many armed ships to enter the Mediterranean, is very much doubted by the French, Spanish and Dutch ambassadors, who, on that account, have had several conferences with the Divan, where, it is said, they have severally remonstrated, but without effect.
April 27.
The minister of the marine and colonies to the maritime prefects, and to the commissary general of marine at Antwerp.
"There are no means, citizen prefect, which our enemies leave un-employed to obtain intelligence from the ports of the republic, and to obtain information of our maritime force, as well as of its movements. I have just received information of a new manoeuvre which they practise, the effect of which it is necessary to guard against.
"There are few neutrals bound for the ports of France, which, on the eve of entering, are not visited by English cruisers; the object of these visits is not only to learn the destination and cargo of the ships; but it appears that these visiting vessels almost always take one or more of the crew out of each neutral, which they replace by an equal number of spies, whose continuance in the port lasts as long as that of the ship.
"However great the precaution may have been which you have hitherto prescribed relative to neutrals admitted into the ports, it is possible, they may not be sufficient to frustrate their manoeuvre, and therefore you must use the following means: - You will recommend that a very rigorous examination be made of the crews of all neutrals, which may come into the ports of your district, and if from this visit it should result that any Englishman, or other suspicious person, is found on board, he must be immediately arrested, as well as the rest of the crew; they must be interrogated with every precaution necessary to the discovery of the truth.
"Should a captain of a neutral vessel be convicted of having received on board, and introduced into France, men sent from English cruisers, without having made such declaration on his arrival, he will be treated as an accomplice in espionage, and his vessel confiscated.
"In order that no pretext of ignorance may be alleged by the neutrals, to evade the rigor of these arrangements, it is desirable that they should receive the utmost publicity.
"Signed,
DECRES."
PARIS, 6th Prairial.
Yesterday 5th Prairial his Imperial Highness Prince Lewis, constable of the empire, presented to the oath, for the Emperor, the following generals of brigades, viz. Paillard, Leopold Berthier, Vonderweidt; col. Ponsard, commanding the 1st legion of gen d'arms; Dufour, commanding the 21st regiment of the line; Beaumont, aid-de-camp; the adjutant commandants Fornier, Dalbe, Alexander Lautoni, Simon Rouffier; the under inspector of reviews.
His Imperial Highness acting in the office of grand admiral, has also presented to the oath, which they have taken for the Emperor, the vice admirals Sercey, Gantheume, and M. Sane, general inspector of marine artillery; the naval captains, Leville Gris, Clement, Senior; and col. Lacombe, inspector of the artillery of marine.
It is said that the department de l'Atelier is in hopes of an abundance of grain and wines.
The Tribunal was to meet to day, in order to proceed by the order of the Senators Consultum, to the nomination of candidates for the Presidency and the formation of this body.
The members of the Tribunal went to render their homages to the French princes and to the great dignitaries of the empire.
Marshal Murat, governor of Paris, gave the 4th inst. at his country seat, at Villier, a great feast, at which the President of the Senate, of the Tribunals, and of the Legislative Body; the marshals of the empire; their colleagues; the generals, colonels and superior officers of the staff, and of the garrison of

Paris; and the prefect of the department of the Seine, and the mayors of the twelve districts of this town who all appeared last Sunday to the promulgation of the Organic Senators Constitution, of the 28th Florial, which proclaims Napoleon Bonaparte Emperor of the French. The president of the Senate drank the first toast. To his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon: it was received by all the guests with the most lively enthusiasm. The second toast was given to her Majesty the Empress, by marshal Moncey, first inspector of the general army; it was received with the same applause as the preceding, and with the same joy; all those that were drunk afterwards, were equal to the two first, and formed an union of vows under their different reports, to the glory, to the happiness, and to the greatness and prosperity of the French Empire, of the illustrious Emperor and of his family.
This feast, which the marshal of the empire, Murat, has acted with the nobleness and grandeur which characterises all his actions, has been the most brilliant. Joy and satisfaction, inspired by the motive which gave place to it, added full to its éclat, or brightness.
THE ADDRESS OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODY OF FRANCE TO THE FIRST CONSUL.
CITIZEN FIRST CONSUL,
The members of the Legislative body are no sooner re-assembled, than they reciprocate a common zeal for their country; and at this important epoch they cannot feel indifferent to the national will, so loudly and generally expressed. Scattered over the various departments of this great empire, they know its wants and habits. They know that the energy and action, of the power which governs, should be commensurate with the extent of territory and population. When this relation, established by nature, is neglected by the legislator, his work must perish.
The chief blessing of man is tranquility and peace; and these depend on permanent institutions. The supreme power which guarantees them, ought, therefore, to be secure from the caprice of elections. Every elective government is inconstant, violent, and helpless as the passions of men; whilst hereditary power gives to the social system the force, the continuance, and constancy of the designs of nature. An uninterrupted succession of authority, in the same family, will maintain the peace and existence of all. It is necessary, for the perpetual security of their rights, that the authority, which protects them, should be eternal. The people, who unite the most capricious liberty with the most eminent qualities, must supremely prefer a system, which confirms their virtue, by repressing their inconstancy.
History every where discovers, at the head of great nations, a single hereditary chief. But this high Magistracy is not instituted but for general good. If it is weak, it falls; if violent it destroys itself; and in either case it merits its fate, if it oppresses the people, or fails to protect them. In one word; this authority, which ought to be tutelary, ceases to be lawful, when it is not useful.
No!—doubtless, those mighty beings were not Gods, whom general interest has deified, and associated in brilliant and inaccessible spheres, that law proclaimed from such high authority might have the more splendor, control and influence.—But if the grandeur of monarchy is not founded on the extravagant fictions, which delude the multitude, it is supported by all those political maxims which the lessons of adversity, and the voice of ages, have established.
Ancient illusions have ceased: but do we need a man of our choice? Scarcely has he numbered thirty-four years; and the events of his life are more wonderful than the fables, with which history has surrounded the cradle of ancient dynasties.
The triumph and will of the nation cannot be resisted. Such extraordinary changes are not new.—It is at the noise and tumult of thrones, which fall, which rise, and should fall again, that successive ages meditate on the inconstancy of human affairs. Old empires are regenerated at such important eras, and the chief of a new monarchy communicates to them the energy of his spirit, and the vigor of his enterprise.
We doubt not, a career of prosperity and glory again opens for our posterity. The nineteenth century, at its commencement, presents to the universe a most magnificent spectacle, and instructive lesson. It consecrates the principle of hereditary power, and opinion, for the happiness of France; whose revolution it terminates, and for the example of Europe, whose errors it prevents.
The human mind, troubled with the weight of disease, the disease of reflection, has wished to create a new race of men; to form new societies and another world. But soon frightened at its work, and wearied with its efforts, it has returned to the track of experience, and submits to the authority of ages. It is at the moment, it recognizes its limits, the human mind is truly enlarged—it is at the moment that it learns to check its weakness, that it justly directs the exercise of its powers. The remembrance of its past deviations will afford a useful foresight; and the fear of falling into its last excesses will not hurt it to the contrary extreme.
We shall not witness the deadly sup- of slavery succeeding the mad tu- mult of democracy. No!—Citizen First Consul, you would not command but a free people;—we know it;—and will, therefore, obey you always.—The departments of government will be balanced with wisdom—they will preserve every thing that will support, nothing that can destroy, liberty. The Imperial government will confirm all the blessings of the consulate, and will increase them. The former needs less force than the latter. The security of hereditary power will temper all its measures.—It is less rigorous for it has fewer obstacles to vanquish, and smaller dangers to encounter—he greater its moderation, the more controlling its influence; and if it aims at extension, it relaxes and destroys itself. Thus, the prerogatives of the Emperor, better defined, will be more limited than those, of the First Consul. The danger of faction compelled the establishment of a temporary Dictator:—These times are past:—monarchy is regenerated—liberty must be immortal—the dictatorship expires; and natural authority commences its reign.
(Signed) FONTANES.
This famous declaration in favor of monarchy, was preceded by the following expressions of will of the Legislative body.
They declare their will (vœux) as follows.—That Napoleon Bonaparte, First Consul, shall be declared Emperor;—that the imperial dignity should be hereditary in his family;—that the representative system should be established on a solid basis;—and that the civil institutions should receive a character of greatness, due to the majesty of the French nation, guaranteeing at once the authority of government and the liberty of the people.
Similar requests to the great Napoleon, that he would become Emperor of the Gauls, have been made by several cities, and detachments of the army.
General LASSALE, commander of the 4th regiment of Veterans, and a member of the Legion of Honor, addressed the following Speech to the Veterans under him, assembled the 2d inst. at Maubert Place.
COMRADES! The departments—the army in general—being well apprised of the incredible services which the First Consul has rendered to France, as well by recovering and extending its frontiers, as by re-establishing the public worship, by giving to the world peace, which the perfidy of England alone has interrupted, are desirous, in order to insure our happiness, to recompence his extraordinary virtues by a title more exalted, and to prevent civil wars, the consequence of elections, by the establishment of a succession in the family of “Dieudonnes,” (the gift of God) our deliverer.
Your commanders are anxious to vote an address to him, to request of him this new benefit. I invite you, in the name of the gratitude we owe him, of the admiration he inspires us with, & of the future happiness of the state, to add your signatures to our order to confirm to him, that his former Brother Soldiers have a just sense of his merits, and that they nominate him Emperor. It is the desire of Victory.
HAMBURGH, May 1.
Letters from Vienna of the 21st ult. mention, that the note which the minister of the elector of Baden has presented to the Imperial court, respecting the arrest of the French emigrants on the elector's territory, particularly the seizure of the duke of Enghien, has given occasion to a conference of state, the result of which is not very favourable to the French interest. The Austrian army now consists of 411,933 effective men.
MUNICH, April 19.
The prisoners detained in the new tower, as having been concerned in the conspiracy of the English minister against the government of France, lately underwent their first examination. The clergy who are implicated in it will not be allowed, considering the nature of their offence, to claim the usual privilege of being tried by the tribunals of exception, but they will be compelled to appear before the ordinary courts. One of the offenders, Mr. Lindemann, the director of the post, is, properly speaking, in the service of the prince de la Tour
and Taxis, and he has claimed the inter- position of that prince that the elector has given for answer, that as Mr. Lindemann was guilty or at least has been suspected of a crime committed in his highness's capital, a crime little short of high treason, he is not entitled to claim a privileged jurisdiction.

WASHINGTON CITY.
FRIDAY, JULY 20.
Nothing ought to be more habitually impressed upon a free people, than an unceasing scrutiny into the conduct of their rulers. The possession of power corrupts the heart; often without the consciousness of its victim. In the ardor and honesty of youth, we all admire the lofty patriotism that disdains to stoop to personal interest; we are delighted with the generous sacrifices of the ancients, and are only ambitious in imitating them. We express with rapture our honest feelings, and pass for enthusiasts of liberty. But once elevated to power, mark the contrast! We devise plans for the public good. These are sometimes wise, but often weak. Whether the one or the other, they are sure to be opposed from rivalry, if from no other motive. Our measures are taken, and retreat would be cowardice! Better, far better, our ambitious spirit prompts to proceed even in error, than retrace our steps. How often is this false pride the grave of the fairest virtues and the brightest talents. Sometimes, indeed, we perceive our errors; but shall we condescend to profit of the advice of an enemy? How few, among the sons of men, have this heaven born magnanimity? No; we determine first to crush our enemies; and then, in the pride of our strength, to do our duty.
Other quicksands swallow up our virtues. If we are so munificently endowed by nature and education, as to be equal to the highest stations, our very talents inspire us with a proud, intractable spirit; that, in allowing nothing to the weakness of others, loses sight of the relation in which we stand to the public. We forget, that the power we enjoy was given for their good, and not for our own. Hence philosophical rulers, in the rigid pursuit of abstract right, have too often failed to affect practical good.
Our safety lies in our vigilance. With more knowledge and virtue diffused among our citizens, with happier political institutions than have fallen to the lot of any other people, and with inflexible barriers, given us by nature and wisdom, against the designs of foreign powers jealous of our growing greatness, the worst enemies, time has in store for us, will spring up among ourselves. They will invade our liberties, sometimes with arms, but oftener with wiles. From the first we have nothing to fear. Our danger lies in the last. A lively jealousy, a vigorous distrust of professions, is our only safety. Let not the monuments of our departed greatness, accord in future times, our fate, in the language of an eloquent man.—“Security was their ruin. Their liberties were dashed to pieces in the storm, and their shores are now covered with the wrecks. If they had been aware, that such a thing might happen, such a thing never would have happened.”
These remarks have been drawn from us by the recent perusal of an “Essay on the Canon and Feudal Law, by John Adams.” The production appears to have been the offspring of his early years, when fired by the bright examples of Roman and Grecian story, he was the apostle of liberty. The charms of power had not then impaired the patriotism of a heart full of philanthropy. Take the following extract, as a specimen:
Speaking of his New-England ancestors, he says:
“They were convinced by their knowledge of human nature, derived from history and their own experience, that nothing could preserve their posterity from the encroachments of the two systems of tyranny (the Canon & Feudal code) in opposition to which, as has been observed
“already, they erected their government in church and state, but knowledge diffused generally through the whole body of the people. Their civil and religious principles, therefore, conspired to prompt them to use every measure, and take every precaution in their power to propagate and perpetuate knowledge. For this purpose they laid very early the foundations of colleges, and invested them with ample privileges and emoluments; and, it is remarkable, that they have left among their posterity, so universal an affection and veneration for these seminaries, and for liberal education, that the meanest of the people contribute cheerfully to the support and maintenance of them every year, and that nothing is more generally popular than productions for the honor, reputation and advantage of those seats of learning. But the wisdom and benevolence of our fathers rested not here. They made an early provision by law, that every town, consisting of so many families, should be always furnished with a grammar school. They made it a crime for such a town to be destitute of a grammar school-master for a few months, and subjected it to a heavy penalty, so that the education of all ranks of people was made the care and expense of the public, in a manner that I believe, has been unknown to any people ancient or modern.”
“The consequences of these establishments we see and feel every day. A native of America, who cannot read and write, is as rare an appearance as a Jacobite, or a Roman Catholic, i. e. as rare as a comet or an earthquake. It has been observed, that we are all of us lawyers, divines, politicians and philosophers. And I have good authority to say that all candid foreigners who have passed through this country, and conversed freely with all sorts of people here, will allow, that they have never seen so much knowledge and civility among the common people in any part of the World. It is true there has been among us a party for some years, consisting chiefly, not of the descendants of the first settlers of this country, but of high churchmen, and high state men, imported since, who affect to censure this provision for the education of our youth as a needless expence, and an imposition upon the rich in favor of the poor; and as an institution productive of idleness and vain speculation among the people: whilst time and attention, it is said, ought to be devoted to labor, and not to public affairs, or to an examination into the conduct of their superiors. And certain officers of the crown, and certain other missionaries of ignorance, supery, servility, and flattery, have been most inclined to countenance and increase the same party. Be it remembered however, that liberty must as hazards be supported. We have a right to it derived from our Maker! But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us at the expence of their ease, their ease, their pleasure and their blood, and liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge, among the people, who have a right, from the frame of their nature, to knowledge, as their great Creator, who does nothing in vain, has given them understandings and a desire to know; but besides this they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right, to that most drealed and envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the characters and conduct of their rulers. Rulers are no more than attorneys, agents, and trustees for the people; and if the cause, the interest and trust are insidiously betrayed, or wantonly trifled away, the people have a right to revoke the authority that they themselves have deputed, and to constitute abler and better agents, attorneys, and trustees. And the preservation of the means of knowledge, among the lowest rank, is of more importance to the public

than all the property of all the rich men in the country. It is even of more consequence to the rich themselves, and to their posterity. The only question is, whether it is a public emolument? and if it is, the rich ought undoubtedly to contribute in the same proportion as to the other public burdens, i. e. in proportion to their wealth, which is secured by public expenses. But none of the means of information are more sacred, or have been cherished with more tenderness and care by the settlers of America, than the press. Care has been taken that the art of printing should be encouraged, and that it should be easy and cheap, and safe for any person to communicate his thoughts to the public. And you, Messieurs Printers, whatever the tyrants of the earth may say of your paper, have done important services to your country, by your readiness and freedom in publishing the speculations of the curious. The state, impudent insinuations of slander and sedition, with which the gourmandizers of power have endeavoured to discredit your paper, are so much the more to your honor; for the jaws of power are always opened to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, it possible to destroy, the freedom of speaking, thinking, and writing. And if the public interest, liberty and happiness have been in danger, from the ambition or avarice of any great man, or number of great men, whatever their politeness, address, learning, ingenuity, and in other respects integrity and humanity, you have done yourselves honor, and your country service, by publishing and pointing out that avarice and ambition. These vices are so much the more dangerous and pernicious, for the virtues with which they may be accompanied in the same character, and with so much the more watchful jealousy to be guarded against— "Curs'd on such virtues, they've undone their country." "Be not intimidated, therefore, by any terrors from publishing with the utmost freedom whatever can be warranted by the laws of your country; nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberty by any pretence of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicane, and cowardice."
Notwithstanding this vehement manifesto in favor of the liberty of the Press, its author suffered, perhaps, prompted, during his memorable administration, the celebrated Sedition and Alien laws. The enigma is easily solved. Youth and a private life, dictated the first; power, intoxicated power, prompted the last. Let then a salutary caution, neither dictated by envy or pride, by ambition or meanness, animate the people. Let it be applied, with equal justice, to their best friends, and their greatest enemies. No reason can be more fitted for inculcating its necessity, than one, in which those who administer the public concerns esteem the people with the same sincerity that the people esteem them.

WILLIAM JOHNSON— STOP THIS MAN!
HE absconded last night, the 22nd instant, from my plantation, in Prince Georges County, near Upper Marlboro'—is about 6 feet high—43 years old, very homely—has high cheek bones, a very large mouth, very dark teeth, and wide apart; a large scar on some part of his face or forehead, and another on one of his great toes, and is a dark colored man, between a black and a mulatto. He has a variety of wearing apparel, of domestic and foreign manufacture. His beard was very thick and long on his upper lip when he went away; and he seldom shaves. I request my friends who may read this advertisement, if they reside in Alexandria, the City of Washington, Georgetown, Frederick, Baltimore, or Annapolis, to show to the constables, and interest them in taking this man up, who is of great value to me, being the manager of my plantation for several years, and of great merit as such.
The hat he wore was over the common size, pretty broad, but much worn. I will pay all reasonable expenses and be liberal in addition to the offered reward.

15,000 tickets at 10 dollars each, 150,000 N. B. Prizes subject to a deduction of 15 per cent.
This lottery has been authorised by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purposes of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dolls. and 2,500 dolls. in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer, a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of the state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorise it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.

THE subscriber has lately been induced from the rapid increase of his custom to purchase a lot of ground adjoining that on which he lives for the purpose of building a dining room and assembly room, each 54 feet by 32 feet to inches with six additional lodging rooms, and intends to finish them before the ensuing winter; which together with his tavern and heuse will occupy a front of near one hundred feet in the most agreeable part of the town and in the center of business being on the highest part of the public square.
He has considerably increased the furniture &c. of his houses and stables. His domestics and servants are of the most faithful dispositions and properly qualified for the departments to which they are assigned. He has a constant supply of the best stable forage; imported and country provisions, imported liquors, &c. of the first quality, foreign newspapers, &c. And his ice will most probably last through the hot weather.
The distinguished preference which the first characters have already given him, fills him with gratitude. He offers his sincere thanks to all his good friends and begs leave to assure them that neither his time nor his purse shall be spared in attempting to render the Travellers Hall a house of entertainment, for GENTEL GUESTS ONLY, equal to any in America.
