LONDON, September 8.
Count Zenobio, who arrived in the last Packet from Gottenburg, has been sent out of the kingdom by orders from the government.
A letter from the continent contains the following singular correspondence, which arose in consequence of Madame the Comtesse de Ranzow being accused of speaking disrespectfully of the French on which she received the following letter:
ARMY OF HANOVER.
Asselin, captain joined to the staff, and commandant of the town, to Madame la Comtesse de Ranzow.
Zell, 4 Thermidor, year 12.
Madame—I am credibly informed that you have used language which is something more than indecent, with respect to the French, and more particularly as it related to the Generals who command them. If you observe such conduct in future, I forewarn you that I have orders to have you FLOGGED at the four corners of the public market place. I salute you.
ASSELIN.
The Comtesse de Ranzow, who had resided at Zell, during nine years, complained of this threat in a letter, which she wrote on the 6th of August, to Marshal Bernadotte, from whom she received the following polite answer:—
Marshal Bernadotte to Madame La Comtesse de Ranzow.
Head Quarters, Hanover, 24 Thermidor, year 12, full of the Empire.
I have to acknowledge, Madame, the letter which you did me the honor to write to me on the 6th of August, complaining of the threat which had been employed by captain Asselin, who commands in the garrison of Zell. That officer's conduct appears to me deserving of blame, and I have ordered that he be punished.
If you had addressed yourself to general Drouet, he would have lost no time in rendering you justice. I thank you, Madame, however, for the confidence which you have placed in me—and in return I offer protection and safety.
Accept, Madame, the homage of those sentiments which are due to persons of your sex and rank.
E. BERNADOTTE.

Private letters from Paris state, that at the Coronation of Bonaparte, as Emperor of the French, a new nobility will be instituted, under the title of Patricians, by a Senatus Consultum, to be proclaimed upon that occasion. This measure will include all persons, with their families and descendants, who, within the first ten years of Bonaparte's reign, have occupied, or shall occupy the first and great places of state, such as Field Marshals, Commanders in Chief, Generals of Division, Ministers, Cardinals, Grand Officers of the Legion of Honor, &c. &c.
September 13.
There were no papers received from the Continent in the course of yesterday or this morning. So there were abundance of rumours in circulation, respecting the intended operations of the French and Russian armies of the Continent.
It was reported, the authority of the masters of some ships arrived in the river, that a considerable body of Russians had landed on the northern coast of Holstein, and that the French had taken possession of all the principal towns and strong positions in the southern part of that Duchy. If any credit be due to information received in vague and questionable shape, the opposing armies have probably measured their reciprocal strength with each other before this time. But we cannot attach belief to the first of those reports. We are persuaded that Russia will not proceed to actual hostility until the departure of her representative at Paris shall be officially known at the court of Petersburg; a communication which can scarcely be made before the middle of this month. The latter report is much more consistent; it is not unlikely that the French might, as a precautionary measure, have occupied some of the commanding positions in that Duchy; but that very circumstance contains in itself the seeds of war with Sweden, Russia, and most probably with Denmark. Whether it has been done with the concurrence or without previously consulting that court, the proceeding will be equally offensive to Russia and Sweden. They are bound to protect the Danish territory, if it shall be tyrannically violated; and if the occupation is connived at, it is not to be expected that those Powers will tamely allow their enemy to possess himself of so advantageous a position.
The master of a Danish vessel from Tonningen has declared that a courier from general Bernadotte, commanding the French army in Hanover had arrived in the capital of Holstein, with
a notification to Prince Charles of Hesse, the Governor, "that his Duchy would be immediately occupied by a French army, should the Danish government allow a single company of Russian soldiers to land there;" but offering at the same time "to make common cause against foreign invaders."
This we consider as more probable than the report of the actual occupation of that, at present neutral territory. That violation of the rights of nations may be regarded as deferred at most, for whenever an open rupture shall take place with either Russia or Sweden, it may be expected that extraordinary steps will be immediately taken by the French army.
LONDON, Sept. 10.
The Hamburg mails arrived yesterday. The intelligence which they bring is superseded by accounts of a more recent date, which we have received by the Paris papers to the 2d, and the Dutch to the 6th instant.
Those papers contain a great variety of important information, but the article which may be considered as particularly interesting at this momentous crisis, when the state of Europe, and with it the condition of civilized society trembles in the balance, relates to the certainty of an immediate rupture between Russia and France:—M. D'Oubril, the Russian charge d'Affaires, has quitted Paris.
His departure is not mentioned in the French official paper, but the fact admits of no doubt, as it is inserted in several of the smaller Paris papers. Whether it was in consequence of an unsatisfactory answer to the note which he was understood to have presented shortly after Bonaparte had left the capital, or some peremptory order lately received from his court, we have no means of ascertaining, as the fact is barely mentioned, without any comment whatever.
The Emperor of Germany has declared himself hereditary Emperor of Austria; and has sent new credentials to his minister at Paris, acknowledging the new Emperor Bonaparte.
Bonaparte, after having passed six weeks in reviewing and manhandling his troops and arranging all his immense preparations for the invasion of this country, has at length taken his departure from the coast. Most of his Ministers, and all the foreign Ambassadors, had left Paris, for the purpose of meeting his Imperial Majesty at Aix-la-Chapelle, and of witnessing all the honors and fatery which the constituted authorities will no doubt, profusely pour on the modern Charlemagne. The period of his stay in that city is not mentioned, but there is no prospect of his immediate return to the coast, as we find that he was to continue his journey to Bonn, Coblenz, and the principal cities of the newly acquired departments on the left bank of the Rhine. Upon whom the command of the army of England, and the proud distinction of planting the bonnet rouge, or the French Imperial Eagle on the tower of London, is to devolve, ad interim, we are unable to conjecture from any thing that occurs in the Paris Journals. Indeed we should not be surprised if the motion of the French army to this side of the waters had been postponed sine die, for we find that considerable preparations have been making at Strasburg for the reception of his Corlican Majesty, from whence it was expected he would repair to Paris. The anniversary of his usurpation (the 9th November) is only two months distant, and as it is generally supposed that he means to congregate this also the anniversary of his coronation, it is not probable that he will, in the interval, expose his army to the possibility of any disasters which may affect his present popularity.
According to private letters from the Hague of the 1st. inst. as soon as his majesty the King of Sweden received information of the libel which Bonaparte caused to be inserted in the Moniteur, he immediately dispatched a courier to his Charge D'Affairs at Paris, Mr. Ackerblad, with orders for him to quit France without taking leave. At the same time orders were sent to Stockholm intimating to Bonaparte's Charge D'Affairs there, that his presence could be dispensed with in Sweden. All political relations have therefore ceased between Sweden and France; but the Swedish consul, gen. Seigneul, continues still to reside at Paris for the protection of commerce of the Swedish subjects with France. It is, however, supposed upon the continent, that Napoleon, in a fit of passion, will soon order him away, and declare war against Sweden.
Another report is, that the Russian, Swedish and Danish ministers have quit Paris.
Our private correspondent at Hamburg has furnished us with the following communication:—General Berthier is daily expected in this city from Hanover to demand, under the pretence of a loan, another pecuniary contribution of 1,500,000 marcs banco. The French camp near Lauenburg is to receive considerable reinforcements.
STATE PAPERS,
Relative to the new assumption of title by his Imperial Majesty Francis II. Emperor of Germany.
VIENNA, August 15.
His Royal, Imperial, Apostolic Majesty arrived in this city on the 10th instant from Baden, to assist at an extraordinary conference of state, at which were present his royal highness the archduke Charles, the archduke Palatine of Hungary, the chancellor of Hungary, that of Bohemia and Austria, that of Transylvania, the Tavernicus of Hungary, and the President of the chamber of Finances and of the Bank.
In consequence of the foregone determination which has been declared in this council of state the following Patent is published:
PATENT.
"We, Francis II. by the Grace of God, elected Emperor of the Romans, always August, King of Germany of Hungary, and Bohemia, of Galicia, Podomeria, &c. Arch-duk of Austria, Duke of Burgundy and Lorraine, grand duke of Tuscany, &c. &c.
"Though we have already attained by the Divine will, and by the choice of the Electors of the Roman and Germanic empire, to a dignity which leaves no room to desire any augmentation of titles and consideration, it is, however, our duty, in our quality of chief of the Austrian house and monarchy, to provide for the maintenance and preservation of that equality of hereditary titles and dignities with the first sovereigns and powers of Europe, which belongs to the sovereigns of Austria, both on account of the ancient lustre of their house, and in regard to the extent and population of their estates, comprehending independent kingdoms and principalities, so considerable, and which have been secured to them by possession, agreeably to the right of nations, and by treaties.—To establish, in a durable manner, this perfect equality of rank, we have determined, and think ourselves authorised, after the example which has been given us in the preceding century by the imperial court of Russia, and that which is now given to us by the new sovereign of France, to confer also on the house of Austria, as far as relates to its independent states, the hereditary title of EMPEROR. We have therefore resolved, after mature reflection, solemnly to assume and to establish, for us and for our successors, in the unalterable possession of our independent kingdoms and states, title & dignity of Hereditary Emperor of Austria (as the denomination of our house), in such a manner that all our kingdoms, principalities, and provinces shall invariably retain the titles, constitutions, prerogatives, and relations which they have hitherto enjoyed.
"According to this supreme decision and declaration, we decree and enact—
"I. That immediately after our title of Elected Emperor of the Romans, shall be inserted that of Hereditary Emperor of Austria, after which shall follow our other titles of king of Germany, Bohemia, Hungary, &c.—then those of arch-duk of Austria, Duke of Syria, &c. and those of the other hereditary countries. But as since our accession to the throne, there have successively taken place, in the possessions of our house, several changes, which have been confirmed by solemn treaties, we at the same time make known the undermentioned titles, newly regulated according to the present state of things, and our will is that they be introduced and employed in future.
"The title of imperial Prince and of Imperial Princess, shall be given and conferred with that of arch-duk and arch-duchess, as well as royal highness, to our descendants of both sexes, and to those of our successors in the sovereignty of the house of Austria.
"III. As all our kingdoms and other possessions must retain, without restriction, their present denominations and relations, this is understood in particular of our kingdom of Hungary, and of the countries which are united to it, and also of such of our hereditary states as have hitherto been in immediate relation with the Germanic empire, which ought in future to preserve the same relations with it agreeably to the privileges granted to our house by the emperors our predecessors.
"IV. We reserve to ourselves the right of determining hereafter the solemnities which shall take place at our coronation and that of our successors as Hereditary Emperor. Those however which were practised at our coronation, and that of our predecessors, as king of Hungary and Bohemia, shall continue to be fulfilled in future without any change.
"V. This Declaration and ordinance shall be published and carried into execution throughout all our hereditary kingdoms and states, without delay, and in the accustomed forms. We have no doubt that all our states and subjects will receive with gratitude and patriotic interest this disposition, the object of which is to maintain the consideration of the Austrian Monarchy.
"Done at Vienna, the 11th of Aug. 1804."
RATIBON, August 27.
On the day before yesterday, the following note was delivered in to the Protocol of the Diet, accompanied by a letter from the Envoys of the Emperor and King, to which was annexed the Imperial Patent.
NOTE.
"The Royal and Electoral Bohemian, and the archducal Austrian Legations, have received from their Sovereign, the annexed pragmatical Ordinance, by virtue of which his Imperial Royal Majesty, as ruler of the Austrian Monarchy, has resolved, pursuant to the example of France, and from the motives therein stated, to assume the hereditary Imperial title.
"The undersigned Legations do not fail to inform the General Assembly of the Empire thereof; and whereas his Majesty has already issued special letters of notification to all his Co-estates of the Empire, he doubts not but they will be received in the most friendly view.
"As by this new hereditary dignity no alteration is made in the relations in which the German hereditary states stood to the Roman Empire, conformed to the express tenor of the pragmatical ordinance; the undersigned Royal, Electoral, Bohemian and Archducal Austrian Legations, have received express orders, precisely to declare, that no alteration is thereby intended in the political relations and references; but on the contrary, that his Majesty will take a double consideration, invariably to continue the friendly, candid, and benevolent sentiments which he has hitherto endeavoured to shew to all his co-estates.
Signed
"Frederick Count Stadion, "Egidius Joseph Charles Von Fulmenberg." "Ratibon, August 24, 1804."
This day the following note was communicated on the part of Sweden:—
NOTE.
"Pursuant to the note received by the general assembly of the empire on the 25th inst. from the illustrious Electoral, Bohemian, and Archducal Austrian Legations, relative to the Austrian Imperial title, the present loyal and dutiful legation finds itself induced to declare: That whereas his majesty the king of Sweden certainly takes a sincere part in any communication tending to the benefit and satisfaction of his majesty the Roman Emperor, and his august imperial house; nevertheless, his royal majesty, as well in his quality as a guarantee of the constitution of the empire, as also particularly as a state of the empire conceives the object proposed to stand in such an inseparable connection with the composition of the Germanic empire itself, that the same had better be laid before the assembly of the empire, not merely as a notice, put as a point for discussion, that all the members may have an opportunity of expressing their ideas founded upon the constitution.
Signed
"KNUT BILT." "Ratibon, August 26, 1804."
At this day's Diet comitial vacancies were resolved upon, to last to the 11th of November next.
VIENNA, August 18.
The following note has been transmitted by the Vice Court and State Chancellor to the Corps Diplomatic at Vienna:
His Imperial Majesty has commanded the undersigned Vice Court and States Chancellor to notify to M——, that his majesty has been pleased to assume the dignity of hereditary Emperor of Austria, and to cause himself to be proclaimed as such.
M—— is requested to communicate this to his court. The Emperor hopes that this communication will be received in a manner perfectly agreeable to the connection which so happily exists between the two sovereigns and that the object of the same will be considered as adapted to public circumstances. Induced by these to assume the Imperial dignity, his majesty is, at the same time convinced that this resolution cannot in any manner be detrimental to the relation in which he stands to the German empire, and the different countries which compose the Austrian monarchy. The undersigned assures M—— of his most particular esteem.
His Imperial majesty has appointed a grand council of state to be held on the 21st inst. under the Presidency of the principal Chamberlain, the Prince of Stahremberg, and attended by the principal Court Chancellor, and other officers of the court, in which the ceremonial of the coronation and the festivities on the occasion will be arranged.
BOULOGNE, Aug. 21.
His Majesty the Emperor, set out this morning at six o'clock, for Etaples, to which he proceeded on horseback through the Strand. He breakfasted in his wooden house, with the Generals
and Colonels of the army; immediately after he went on board the flotilla in the port of Etaples, and examined it minutely. At eleven o'clock he called the different divisions of the camp, commanded by General Loison, to go through their manoeuvres.—He was satisfied with their appearance and evolution.—The manoeuvres were not finished till five o'clock. It is supposed that his majesty will remain several days in the camp formed in that neighborhood.

"TRIBUTE OF RESPECT."
It is well known to those who are acquainted with the local affairs of this town, that there are a number of characters here who improve every opportunity to display their disapprobation of our republican government, and to vent their envy and spite against those who so ably administer its concerns: that their conduct may have the more weight, they have sumptuous dinners, invite the neighbouring clergy, and talk a great deal of "Virtue and Religion." A meeting of this description took place on Wednesday last, when (as the Repository says) the following appropriate toasts, among others were given.
1. Our Public Ministers. In future as formerly, may our first interests be confided to our first characters.
A modest sentiment this:—What do they wish to be understood by 'first characters?' we presume they mean the would-be 'nobility in a hole,' which their friend who is now (and we hope forever will be) exempted from the burthen of ruling a "refactory people," has dwelt on with so much emphasis.
2. The administration of Washington and Adams. The Morning and Evening stars of our national glory.
"Raw head and bloody bones!" cries the woman of the nursery. "The morning and evening stars of our national glory," say the "well born."—When they speak of the "evening star," again we would recommend the conclusion of the sentence—as for instance thus: The administration of John Adams, the star that has set forever, with him has our vain hopes of Royalty and privileged orders, forever fled; without the faintest ray of hope to animate our desponding hearts. What a dreadful thing that democrats as well as monarchists, should forever be in darkness—but hark! there is consolation for the latter; for having exclusively all the religion, they cannot forget that "there is another and a better world."
3. Our Navy. May its strength protect our commerce and its glory confound its enemies at Washington and Tripoli.
What! have the Tripolitans sent a fleet to Washington?—We have no account of such a disaster, and therefore conclude these "virtue and talents" gentry meant "any thing or nothing," when they drank their bumper for this toast.
4. The Press. May it always correct public opinion never corrupt it.
The reverse of this is a melancholy truth, and must have extorted a blush from those who disseminate their baseful poison through the monarchical prints in this town; unless indeed, (which appears to be the case) that a long and continued course of venom and detraction has congealed the nobler sentiments of the heart; and rendered them totally callous to the dictates of honor and justice.
5. May those Yankees who cannot endure Federal sunshine, go to Louisiana for moonshine.
What a mortifying circumstance this to the rich and avaricious of N. England, that by the wisdom of our executive in the purchase of Louisiana, an asylum is provided for the industrious husbandman, both of the old and new world, who sooner than submit to vassalage from their tyrants, like Abraham of old, would take either the right or left.
7. The Yankee section of the Union. May those who begin the battle guard against being cheated out of the fruits of the victory.
We have very little to fear, at present, on this head: although by stratagem and intrigue, the enemies of our rights had deceived the honest and unsuspecting republicans, and thereby obtained offices of "honor and profit;" yet no sooner were their schemes unmasked, than the first constitutional opportunity to "correct the procedure" was improved to hurl them from power; and we trust the discriminating judgment of the people will there let them long remain.

WASHINGTON CITY.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31.
PROPOSALS will be received by the DIRECTORS for the use of the WASHINGTON THEATRE, either for the ensuing season, or for its permanent occupation.
The printers of the Chronicle in Boston, the Citizen of New-York, the Aurora of Philadelphia, the American of Baltimore, and the City Gazette of Charleston, are requested to insert the above three times.
WE have considered it a duty to lay before our readers the proceedings of the House of Representatives of Connecticut in a case of the most extraordinary aspect.
Deeming this an aggression, of the most dangerous nature, on the essential rights of the citizen, we invite the attention of every man to it.
But this odious transaction does not stop here. It is the nature of one excess to lead to another. A precipitate spirit marked the proceedings of the House of Representatives on the above occasion.
the era of independence, that we fear it can only emanate from a determination of the majority to suppress in their opponents that free expression of sentiment so essential to the continuance of their power.
House of Representatives OF CONNECTICUT.
Wednesday, October 17.
A bill from the Governor and Council was read, stating that William Judd of Farmington, Jabez H. Tomlinson, and Agur Judson of Stratford, Hezekiah Goodrich of Chatham, and Nathaniel Manning of Windham, Esqrs. justices of the peace, had declared and published as their opinion, that there is no Constitution of civil government in the state of Connecticut;
Mr. Collins said he felt perfectly willing to subscribe to the idea, and he thought that the gentlemen named in the bill should be treated with terms of delicacy and tenderness;
Mr. E. Holmes moved a concurrence with the government and council. The conduct of the gentlemen mentioned in the bill, had been dissatisfactory to him and many other gentlemen.
Mr. Daggett wished the bill to be read again. It was read accordingly. He then said that it was so consonant to all his ideas of justice, that every government should protect itself, that he could see no reasonable objection to the bill.
Mr. Stevens observed, that the resolution was something novel, that if no inconvenience would arise, he would wish that it might be postponed till to-morrow morning.
Mr. Rositer said, if the persons named in the bill were now called upon to give the reasons for their conduct, there would be some propriety in the motion for a postponement.
Mr. Stevens said he understood the persons named in the resolution were charged with certain offences, and that they were therein cited to appear and answer to the charge.
The motion for postponement was negatived.
Mr. Samuel Hart, jun. Two things are necessary to obtain an object—the ability and the disposition—both of these the House possesses—I therefore deem it unnecessary—unavailing, to say any thing on the subject.
Mr. Stevens moved that the yeas and nays be taken on the resolution.
Mr. Daggett said if he did not misunderstand the gentleman from Berlin, he had imputed improper motives to this House.
him to say in substance that this House have the ability and the disposition to pass this bill, and therefore arguments are unavailing.
Mr. Hart said he was much mistaken if he had said any thing, which the gentleman from New Haven had imputed to him.
Mr. Miller did not wish that any man should be hindered from speaking his sentiments with freedom; but he hoped in God that no man would be indulged with the privilege of speaking sentiments disgraceful to the House.
Mr. Hart observed, that after what had fallen from the gentleman, he thought it his duty to give an explanation of the remarks he had made.
Mr. E. Holmes understood the gentleman from Berlin, to say that this House were disposed to do wrong, to be actuated by improper motives.
Mr. N. Terry, thought it important that the freedom of speech should be preserved. But the gentleman from Berlin has made use of language which is injurious to the honor and dignity of this House;
The gentleman from Berlin rose, expressed his opinion, and sat down; his remarks contained insinuations very impertinent, when called upon to explain, his reasons were insulting;
I am but an individual in this House; a young member, and not much acquainted with the rules but I have some little sense of what is proper, I have some feelings for its honor and dignity.
Mr. L. Hall wished the gentleman who made the motion for the yeas and nays to be taken, would withdraw it, with some other remarks which could not be heard.
Mr. E. Holmes, was willing that the yeas and nays should be taken. Though the bill was a new one, the subject was not new.
Mr. Stevens said, that he wished the yeas and nays to be taken, and he did not feel disposed to make a motion for reconsideration.
The yeas and nays were then taken and are, Yeas 124—Nays 43.
E. Holmes. Mr. Speaker, I rise to make a motion for the honor and dignity of this House, and for the good of the gentleman (looking at Mr. Hart of Berlin) that the speaker be requested to reprimand the gentleman from Berlin, unless he come forward, and take back the expressions he made use of towards this House.
Speaker. Please to reduce your motion to writing.
Mr. Daggett drew the following resolve which was read.
Resolved, That the Speaker of the House be requested to publicly reprimand Mr. Samuel Hart, jun. for the indignity offered to this House in his remarks this afternoon.
Mr. Rositer, moved an amendment by adding the words, at the opening of the House to-morrow morning.
The amendment was adopted. Mr. Huntington moved that the House postpone acting on this resolve till to-morrow morning.
Mr. Daggett said he would have no objection to the postponement if Mr. Hart requested it. He would indulge him with a postponement till to-morrow morning or even five days if he desired it, but the request ought to come from him.
Mr. Huntington said he felt as much for the honor and dignity of the House as any member. He did not know what expressions had fallen from the gentleman from Berlin, which were so oppressive—he was not in the House when he made them.
Mr. Stevens thought the House would deem it more proper to reclaim than to punish. The gentleman from Berlin is a young member—he may have spoken hastily; if so, he did not doubt but he would give a proper explanation, if he had a little time to consider on it.
Mr. McClellan said he thought it was time for this House to shew that they have some dignity; to discountenance such abusive and contemptuous language as the gentleman from Berlin has used.
Mr. Terry thought the dignity of the House had been grossly insulted. He agreed with the gentleman from Stamford, that it was better to reclaim than to punish—and he should be satisfied if the gentleman would come forward and give a proper explanation of his remarks, or if he should himself request a postponement, for he himself should not object.
Mr. Collins, said that if the gentleman from Berlin had not transgressed the rules of the House in his remarks, he certainly had in another instance, and these very rules which he had heard read at the opening of the session—that when any bill is before the house in which he could not act, he should leave the House.
Mr. Daggett thought it becoming the dignity of the House to put this business at rest.
The motion for postponement was negatived.
The question was then taken on the resolution and it passed.
An extraordinary race was run at York, (Eng.) the 22nd of Aug. between Mrs. Thornton, wife of colonel Thornton, and Mr. Flint. Upwards of 100,000 spectators are said to have been present, and the bets amounted to 200,000l.
I WILL RENT or SELL a two story Frame HOUSE, and Kitchen and a large Blacksmith's shop adjoining the premises, likewise the lot that the building is on. The rent will be by the year. If sold one half of the money to be paid down and the other half in twelve months with good security, and interest from the date of sale.

Charlotte Hall School. AGREEABLY to public notice, the Trustees of this institution held their annual examination of the pupils on the 4th, 5th, and 6th of September: John A. Stuart, Esq. of Fairhaven, Virginia, at the particular request of the Board presided during this examination and at the close, in a most elegant and appropriate address, expressed "his highest approbation, his most unbounded astonishment and applause." How grateful to the feelings of the Trustees were the loud plaudits of a numerous assembly of the parents and guardians of children committed to their care! During the orations there appeared an ecclia of joy! and, the calm satisfaction which was exhibited in the examination of the different classes in Homer, Lucian, Greek Testament, Cicero, Terence, Virgil, Caesar, Ovid, Cornelius Nepos, Set. Vet. Erasmus, Corderius, and every part of Grammar, gave equal pleasure to the Trustees and to an attentive audience. With what rapture did every spectator anticipate the future benefits which may result to society from the growing success of this rising establishment—which what delight did all behold 128 pupils in perfect health! and not a single child, accidentally detained, was absent from sickness. The Trustees hope, that this public approbation of the performance of the pupils will stimulate them to persevere in the race of glory and will rivet to their youthful minds this important truth, that education will render them useful citizens and good men. The classes will open on the 6th day of October next under the following arrangement. GEORGE RALPH, A. M. Principal. OWEN F. MAGRATH, A. M. Vice Principal. JAMES TOOMY, Assistant in the classical school. NEALE H. SHAW, English master. M. DESMANGLES, Professor of the French language. By order of the Board of Trustees, WM. THOMAS, Chairman. October 5—

PROPOSALS BY JOHN DIXON, For Printing by Subscription, a Periodical Work, to be entitled the  VIRGINIA MAGAZINE, O R, Monthly Miscellany. CONDITIONS. I. The work to contain 68 pages (Octavo) monthly, of selected miscellaneous prose, and of original prose also, whenever the exertions of the Editor, and his Assistant, and the communications of correspondents can supply it. Of improvements and experiments in Agriculture, with which the Editor hopes to be furnished by the Farmers, &c. of this and other states, or to select himself. Of Debates in Congress. Of Foreign and Domestic Intelligence. Of Selected Poetry, and Original too, when ever good can be procured and not other Owise. • Marriages and Deaths. II. Prices Current. III. The work to be printed on good paper, and with a neat type. IV. The price to Subscribers, to be Five Dollars per annum, one half to be paid on the delivery of the first number, and the balance at the expiration of six months after. V. The work to be put to press as soon as 300 Subscribers are obtained. PROSPECTUS. THE utility and rational amusement derivable from well conducted Magazines, probably will not be controverted. They afford an asylum for many fugitive essays, that might otherwise meet with a more rigorous fate than they merit. The brevity of their articles and their longer duration of existence than that of some other periodical publications, hold out an inducement to that indolence, too frequently the attendant of genius, and to those pressed by the cares of business, to devote an hour or two to their own entertainment, and the pleasure and instruction of the community, while the greater variety of subjects they comprise, gives them a decided superiority over several other works, —for they contain something to suit the palate of every one, and may be particularly pleasing and instructive to those who have not the inclination or the leisure to peruse more prolix writings. There are few countries, where a love of reading prevails: and science is regarded, in which Magazines are not numerous and well received. And yet the Subscriber thinks he is correct in saying that not one is published in the respectable state of Virginia. He designs to publish one, principally of a literary complexion, provided he obtains adequate support, in which case he flatters himself, that his exertions will prove fully satisfactory to his patrons. For any reluctance to subscribe, arising from a non-compliance of any persons who may have issued proposals, similar to the foregoing, the subscriber has it only in his power to say that he pledges his honor to comply with his engagement, if supported by the public. September 7. J. DIXON.
