CORREGIDOR's 3d LETTER.
To Messrs. DALLAS and his fellow addressers of Philadelphia.
"When men of rank sacrifice all ideas of dignity to an ambition without a distinct object, and work with low instruments; and for low ends, the whole composition becomes low and base."—BURKE.
There is a story extant of a young lady who, being very vain of her beauty, and of the conquests which her charms had made, was unexpectedly seized with the small-pox, and that of a quality so virulent, that the beauty of face, in which she took so much pride, was all at once converted into downright deformity. As soon as she recovered so far as to rise from her bed of sickness, she resorted to her dear old friend the looking-glass, when the frightful spectacle which she saw reflected there, had such a sudden effect upon her brain, that she became at once deranged, and so continued to be, till she died. Your address, gentlemen, is a mirror in which the political visage of your party is so faithfully reflected, that, if you had not much more of that steel which resists impressions on the heart, than that poor young lady had, it might well be expected to set you crazy. If it makes any impression at all on you, however, beyond that of the moment's expediency, it is likely to be a salutary one. That impression, therefore, I will endeavor to deepen, by calling back to your recollection, in aid of your own abstract description, a picture of the abominable practices by which your party succeeded in driving the federalists from the government of the Union; and will compare them as I go along with your own observations in your address.
As the faction which rose against the divine Moses said, "ye take too much upon yourselves;" so you gentlemen, with judge M c Kean at your head, (the humble instruments of our present ruler) did say of the federalists; in like manner, and by your laudable example Mynheer Schneider, and the conspirators of Philadelphia, now say to governor M c Kean and you, "ye take too much upon yourselves." You sowed the wind, and you are now reaping the whirlwind. And, as Shylock says to the Christians in the play, so the said Mr. Schneider may say to you, "the villainy you taught me I will execute; and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction."
You find it expedient at last to denounce calumny; calumny you now observe to be a wicked thing, since it fixes its poisoned tooth in yourselves. What then! Have you already forgotten the infamous, the atrocious calumnies with which you all blasted the first characters in your country, in order to give to your favorite, Mr. Jefferson, a pre-eminence which truth and nature denied him; by means of which, you contrived to fill the unthinking men of the union with discord, the very same jealousies, unjust suspicions, and hatreds of the federalists, against which you, in your address, so ably and pathetically declaim; and first elicited those sparks of revolutionary flame which now threaten to consume yourselves, and which you are now striving (I hope, not in vain) to extinguish?—What—have you forgotten the monstrous cheating jargon; the low ale house cant; the vile revolutionary common-place gabble, as destitute of meaning as it was pregnant with mischief and villainy, which was voided by your party upon such names as Washington, Hamilton, Pinckney, Davie, Marshall, Morgan, Lee, Howard, Miller, Lincoln, Knox, Huntingdon, and a thousand others, who you all knew had fought for American Independence, calling them foes to republicanism, though their sweat and blood had established this country a republic? Do not your consciences tell you that you foully belied your own hearts and sentiments, when, by every vile artifice which an ungovernable lust for office, power, place, and profit could dictate or invent, you represented those founders and defenders of our commonweal, as enemies to the federal constitution, and to the freedom of its people?
You talk of the constitution: Yes; you talk it well, Sirs—you! the very men who, by slanders, by side-wind insinuations, & by treacherous allusions, which containing no positive and direct charge, were of course, incapable of specific answers or direct disproof, had contrived to bring that constitution into contempt and dislike, and disseminated and fostered that spirit of change, that revolutionary frenzy, against which you now clamour, not because it threatens to destroy the constitution, but because it menaces yourselves, baffles your designs,
mars your projects, and defeats the views of your avarice and ambition. Yes, Gentlemen! You taught the people the lesson of discontent; you corrupted their hearts, and steeled them with false statements and meta-physical sophisms, and low subtleties against all feeling, all sensibility, all gratitude—you rendered them envious, suspicious, malignant enough to delight in humiliating and trampling down those very patriots, heroes, and sages, whom they, in the exultation of hearts fraught with just gratitude and love, once delighted in exalting. Look now—your adversaries now turn the tables upon you, they now humble you; and the offscourings of your state are now conspiring against you, exactly as you before conspired against Washington, Hamilton, and the other illustrious men who not only saved this country, but were ornaments to the world, to the human race, and to the age in which they lived. What you and your party were to the school of Washington, the Schneiders are to you—you conspired against the one, the others now conspire against you.
"The people!"—Oh the people!—the liberties of the people! This is the cant which has been, the grand instrument of deception, time immemorial; while the grand deceivers have been called, or have assumed the names of "The Friends of the people." Cæsar, when marching his legions to Rome to seize the government, proclaimed that he went for the purpose of vindicating the liberties of the people, oppressed as he cunningly asserted, by an aristocratic faction. This was the very language held out by you gentlemen, and your party, when calumniating and denouncing the federalists. Cataline was the friend of the people, so is Mr. Schneider. Cataline would reform the abuses of the people, so will Mr. Schneider. Cataline would do justice to the people, so will Mr. Schneider. Cæsar talked of vindicating the liberties of the people; but by getting the name of the "man of the people," became their tyrant and despot. And in humble imitation of that great man, the friends of Mr. Jefferson, who know the potency of the name have styled him too the man of the people. One would think that the people were less disgusted, with being gulled, even than the demagogues are shameless of gullying them, and that the only stratagem or villainous trick which could never fail of success, was that of professing friendship to the people.—When Mr. Ross, opposed the election of this very governor M c Kean, Mr. Dallas, wrote a recommendatory address to the public, saying Mr. M c Kean was the friend of the people, that if they elected him, they should all have cause to be satisfied with his conduct. A counter-address has been published at Philadelphia, accusing the same M c Kean of being the enemy of the people, and they who sign it call themselves the FRIENDS OF THE PEOPLE. Here is the looking-glass of democracy and demagogues. This is the eternal round of their practices—ever deceiving though always detected, and in the very act of detection, while the brand of fraud is festering fresh upon their foreheads, planning and preparing fresh deceits without so much as changing their forms, affecting novelty, or attempting concealment. Cæsar, Cataline, Cromwell, Brissot, Bonaparte, M c Kean, Dallas, Mr. Jefferson—have each had their day of being friends of the people; nay, Robespierre, Marat, Danton, Carrier, and Collot D'Herbois, had their day too, and have held as long dissertations as the best of them, upon morality, friendship, the liberties of the people, sweet humanity, patriotism, & the rights of man.
Nor is this all. Not only those worthies, the high priests of democracy, take the name of the friends of the people; but take upon themselves also the trouble of acting for them. They love the dear creatures so well that they are always willing to save them trouble, and to do, gratuitously, many kind offices for them. Thus, without being so much as asked, they think for them, write for them, and in their names, act for them, and vouch for them, even what they could not, and would be very sorry indeed to vouch for themselves. When Cæsar seized the treasury at Rome, he did it for the people—nay, he did more—he kindly and patriciately laid it out in pretty ornamental fetters, upon them. Thus, saving them a world of labor and fatigue. In like manner, when Genet, the French minister, was appealing from the government of America, to the people, and inoculating the wholesome blood of our country with Gallic jacobinism, Mr. Dallas, Doctor Logan, Mr. M c Clenaghan, &c. self resolved into clubs and committees; (clubs without sociability, and committees having no committers;) wrote addresses for people, who
never thought of the subject of them; spoke the voice of people, out of whose mouths no such voice ever came, and did for the people what it never entered into the heads of the said people to have done. In short, "presumed to act in the name of the people," in favor of Mons. Genet's designs, though had they succeeded, the country; that is, the people, would have been laid, bound hand and foot, for ever prostrate at the bloody feet of France.
When men enter upon bad enterprizes to be performed by bad means, it would be worth their while to consider the risks they must necessarily run, since, to persevere in evil doing, without detection, is difficult, and to change their means without changing their end also, would be impossible. It cannot but be unpleasant to walk in new and untried tracts; and to men capable of forming and perpetrating schemes of violence and wrong, it must be rather a disagreeable circumstance to be driven into the road that leads to justice. It were well therefore, if politicians, before they commence in hypocrisy and fraud, would take into consideration how singularly awkward they must feel, if, perchance, they should be compelled to end with probity and virtue.
CORREGIDOR.
NEW YORK, August 29.
We have received by captain Waite, of the Liverpool Packet, our regular file of Lloyd's Lists, London and Liverpool papers, the two former to the 9th, and the latter to the 11th, inclusive; which, tho' they afford very little political news, have furnished us with a valuable addition to our marine department.
Captain Waite spoke, on the 17th inst. the ship Laura, captain Newman, from Liverpool for this port, who had been boarded by a French frigate, with two others in company, and was informed that they belonged to the combined squadron on their return to Europe. and had captured 12 days before, in lat. 43, long. 40, the British frigate Blanche, after a very obstinate engagement.
LONDON, July 6.
The Jamaica fleet are arrived in the Downs. Two are said to have run on shore at Crooked Island, and several are missing.
In our paper of Wednesday we mentioned an embargo having been laid on all ships in the Texel, and that the Dutch fleet was waiting an opportunity to come out. The Swan cutter, arrived at Yarmouth, reports, that the Dutch fleet had come down as low as the fifth buoy of the Texel, but was prevented from sailing by the wind falling short.
It is added, that government has received intelligence of the immediately expected arrival of Bonaparte at Paris, and from thence at Boulogne to put in motion the expedition so long meditated against this country!
The report of the committee appointed to prepare articles of impeachment against lord viscount Melville, was yesterday distributed in the house of commons.
The resignation of lord Sidmouth, which we noticed yesterday, is, we believe, certain. Lord Buckinghamshire, chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster, also retires. Mr. Vansittart has likewise resigned the office of principal secretary to the lord lieutenant of Ireland, and others expected to follow.
Earl Camden, will, it is said, succeed lord Sidmouth, as president of the council; and the right honorable Charles Yorke will be appointed secretary of state for the colonial department, vice lord Camden.
Lord Sidmouth's intention of resigning was, we understand, communicated to Mr. Sheridan, for the purpose of being conveyed to his royal highness the prince of Wales.
Some of the morning papers have stated, that Mr. Pitt knew nothing of the resignation of lord Sidmouth till he saw it in the public prints. We can state, on the contrary, that Mr. Pitt used his efforts to force his lordship and friends to retire.
[Star.]
Yesterday a messenger was ordered to hold himself in readiness to leave town for the continent, with dispatches for lord Mulgrave: his destination is kept so profound a secret, that he is not to know it until his arrival at Gottenburgh.
July 9.
We subjoin a letter from Plymouth, written by a most intelligent and respectable friend, to whom we have often been indebted for articles of intelligence on important occasions, and which we always found to be correct:
"Plymouth, July 7."
"His Majesty's ship Curieux, of 16 guns, captain Bettesworth, arrived here this day, 2 P. M. By her we have the
very pleasing accounts of the safe arrival in the West Indies of Lord Nelson, early in June; the first Island he made was Trinidad, which had not been disturbed by the common enemy. Hearing nothing particular of the combined fleets, his lordship sailed for Barbadoes, where he found admiral Cochrane, with his majesty's ships Spartiate and Northumberland, and from whom he learned that the French and Spaniards had, during their short stay, buried 3000 troops; and, from the state of the survivors, they apprehend great difficulty in being able to return to France, for which country they had taken their departure.
"Lord Nelson took the Spartiate and Northumberland with him, as far as the N. end of Antigua, when he ordered them to return, considering his own force a match for the enemy. This was on the 18th of June, at which time not a single man was to be found on board his lordship's fleet unfit for duty. At the same time the Spartiate and Northumberland were detached from the fleet, the Curieux, by which we have received this intelligence, was dispatched by his lordship for England.
"On the sixth day after, viz. on the 15th June, the Curieux came up with the combined fleet, and kept company some time, to try their rate of sailing. As her commander found they sailed badly, and were miserably handled there seems no doubt but lord Nelson would overtake them, probably by the 20th or 21st of June!"
"The return, or rather attempt to return to Europe, is reduced to a certainty, and must brighten the hopes of our planters, and the merchants connected with the West Indies in this country."
Dispatches to the above effect were received at the admiralty at an early hour this morning. The news has diffused universal joy in the city, and stocks have risen in consequence, as our readers will see by looking at the prices.
Lord Nelson's dispatches are dated the 12th of June, off Antigua. His Lordship arrived at Barbadoes on the 4th, where he took 2000 troops on board. On the 8th the combined fleet passed Antigua on its return to Europe from Fort Royal, Martinique, where they left between three and four thousand men sick. The epidemical disease prevailed in the enemy's ships.—Lord Nelson sent off the Curieux on the 14th for England, and was himself then in pursuit of the enemy. It was in lat. 22, N. long. 58, W. that the Curieux passed the combined fleet.
The enemy effected nothing by this expedition, except the capture of the Diamond Rock, the small garrison of which was obliged to surrender for want of water, not however without a gallant resistance, in which the enemy lost a number of men and 2 gun boats.
Yesterday in the House of Commons, Mr. Whitebread brought an additional article of impeachment against lord Melville, which relates to the sums placed in the hands of Mark Spatt, for other than naval purposes. This article was agreed to.—He also gave notice of his intention to move for a bill to enable the committee of managers to proceed in examining witnesses, and arranging their proofs, notwithstanding any prorogation of Parliament.
Sir William Burroughs postponed the resolution of which he had given notice, respecting the conduct of Sir Home Popham till the next session of Parliament, but was desirous to read them, in which he was interrupted by the House and the Speaker.
In the house of Lords a warm discussion took place on the second reading of the Duke of Athol's Bill. Lord Ellenborough was particularly severe on the measure, and on the ministers by whom it had been recommended and supported. Lord Sidmouth and the Lord Chancellor were also against the bill. After a debate, which lasted till near one o'clock, the question for the second reading was carried by a majority of 25 to 11. None of the peers who generally vote in opposition were present at the time of the division.
Mr. Mark Sprott has been examined by the committee for managing the impeachment, of Lord Melville; and his books have also been inspected.

August 30.
The ship Rhoda and Betsy, arrived last evening in 44 days from Liverpool, and we have extended our files of English papers to the 13th of July, four days later than our advices by the Liverpool Packet. The hour at which they were received will not permit us to do more than notice the outlines of their contents in a summary manner.
The Grand Signor in answer to a letter.

from Bonaparte in notifying his accession to the throne of Italy, has given the latter assurances of his friendship, but refuses to acknowledge him either as emperor of France or king of Italy.  A bloody battle between the insurgents of Servia and a body of Turks has taken place on the borders of Moravia, in which the former remained masters of the field, though with considerable loss, their commanding officer being amongst the killed.  Sixteen thousand French and Dutch troops are encamped a few miles from Amsterdam, who are held in readiness to march at the shortest notice, supposed to be destined to embark in the expedition against England. The Dutch troops are said to rejoice at the idea; not from a wish to assist in conquering England, but to have an opportunity of deserting. The fleet in the Texel is extremely ill manned, but rigidly disciplined, and badly victualled.
On the morning of the 11th July it was mentioned publicly by Mr. Erskine, in the court of king's bench, that advices had been received of lord Nelson's having fallen in with the combined fleet, had captured eight sail of the line, was in pursuit of the rest. No official account had reached government of this event.  Talleyrand is said to have died at Milan of an apoplectic fit.
The British parliament was prorogued by commission on the 12th. The speech delivered by the lord Chancellor on the occasion mentions that his majesty had not yet been able to lay before parliament the result of the negotiations in which he is engaged with powers on the continent, but that no step would be omitted for promoting such a concert as may afford the best prospect of restoring general and permanent tranquility; or may, if necessary, furnish the means of repelling with vigor the continued encroachments on the part of the French government, which threaten every day more and more the liberty and independence of all the nations of Europe.
A letter from Holland states that considerable bodies of troops were marching to the Helder, for the purpose of being embarked. The differences between Schimmelpennick and general Marmont, had risen to a great height, in consequence of an attempt made by the former to check the boundless profusion and extravagance of the French general.
A report was circulated at the Hague that Bonaparte had declared war against the Emperor of Germany; but it obtained no credit.
Price of Stock, July 13, at noon; Consols 59 1-2; Omnium 6 1-4.  A letter from Paris, dated the 2d July, in a Dutch paper, says, "The troops on the coast are in motion, and their numbers are estimated from 150 to 200,000 men. No less than 2000 vessels are lying ready in the Road and in the Port. The flotilla consists of Praams, being a large kind of vessel, having cannon and horses on board, of Gunboats, Pinks, and Chaloups, carrying a 24 pounder.
A bason has been formed in the port of Boulogne, capable of receiving one half of the armed vessels.  In the port of Vimereaux, 2 leagues north of Boulogne, lie the Imperial cutters, and other armed ships.
The encampments of Boulogne, Etaples and other places, consists of square wooden barracks, plastered on the outside, ranged in three lines, and divided from each other by little gardens.
Vice Admiral De Winter has been appointed Commander in Chief of the Texel expedition, with permission to hoist his flag on board whatever ship he may choose.  The Hibernia, Admiral Gardiner, arrived at Portsmouth on the 9th. The command is given up to Admiral Cornwallis. The American ship William and Mary, from New York, with flour, arrived on the same day, detained by the Kent privateer.
Letters from Lisbon of the 28th June mention that the King of Spain is dangerously ill; and this statement is corroborated by advices from Cadiz, of the 18th, which also state that they have the prospect of a very plentiful harvest.

A letter from governor Sevier to the editor of the Knoxville Gazette, dated Marble Springs, 22d July, says, I returned from the treaty on Friday evening last, after spending two weeks to no purpose. The Indians offered to make Duck river the line from the mouth up about four miles above the old or present line, thence a parallel line with the present one, to the road leading to Blackburn's, taking in about 4 miles eastwardly of the present line; thence with the present line as high up as to be opposite the head of Cove creek, in the Walnut-cove, thence a straight line across so as to intersect Butler's line, giving all above adjoining Kentucky, with the four mile slip, and from the Duck river ridge to the river. The commissioners refused to accept it, or any less than the boundary line of the state.

AT a meeting of the TRUSTEES of the POOR and WORK HOUSE, at the Council Chamber—present—  JONAH THOMSON, HENRY ROSE, ANDREW JAMIESON, JONATHAN SWIFT, ELISHA JANNEY, ABRAM HEWES.
When Henry Rose, Elisha C. Dick, William H. Washington, and Thomas Semms, were appointed Physicians to the Alexandria Dispensary, and Jesse Talbot, Apothecary.
The poor, in every situation, and more immediately at the time when they are confined by sickness, have a peculiar claim upon the benevolence of those whose circumstances enable them to administer to their wants.
No institution promises so perfectly to ensure their relief in this place as a Dispensary. The Poor-House receives those who are among the most destitute and are deprived of every domestic accommodation. A Dispensary provides assistance for that description of poor, who, when deprived by disease, of the earnings of their daily labor, are also deprived of the means of procuring the assistance necessary for their relief.
The mechanic, who cannot without great inconvenience leave his family to reside in the Poor-House—the mother, who cannot be separated from her children—the tender infant, who requires the constant care and assistance of a fond parent—those who labor under diseases of a protracted description and are thence improper objects for the Poor-House, are the peculiar objects of this institution.
The benefits arising from an establishment of this sort, by which the poor are relieved in their own habitations, require no illustration. Its utility has been long experienced and acknowledged in every city, where the population of which is not greater than that of Alexandria.
For the purpose of affording convenience to the sick, two of the physicians appointed are residents of the northern, and two of the southern districts.
The regulations which have been adopted for the government of the institution, are herewith submitted to the consideration of the public.
As the present funds of the Dispensary are insufficient to carry into full operation all the objects of the institution. The Trustees feel the strongest assurances, that the liberality of their fellow-citizens will enable them to perfect an establishment, which has every claim upon their charity.
Rules and Regulations for the government of the ALEXANDRIA DISPENSARY.
There shall be four attending Physicians and an Apothecary elected by the Trustees of the Dispensary, annually.
One division of the city into two districts. The first district to embrace all that part of the city which lies northward of the centre of the range of squares comprehended between King and Prince streets. The second district to embrace all that other part which lies south of the said dividing line.
Duties of the Physicians.  The times of attendance at the Dispensary for the purpose of receiving applications and of prescribing for the sick, shall be from twelve to one o'clock on every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from the first of Nov. to the first of Aug. and on every day (Sundays excepted) at the same house from the 1st of Aug. to the 1st of Nov. but such patients whose cases render them unable to attend at the Dispensary, shall regularly be visited at their respective places of abode: one physician shall be sufficient to attend at a time on ordinary occasions, and they shall so arrange themselves as to bestow an equal and just rotation of service, but they shall hold consultation on every case that may require it. The attending physician, for the time being, shall also visit such of the sick as cannot attend the Dispensary, in whatever part of the city they may reside, except for the months of August, September and October; and during this period they shall so class themselves as to bestow a duplicate attention to this part of their duty.
Should indisposition, or any other reasonable cause prevent a physician from attending to the duties of the Dispensary, he shall request the attendance of one of the physicians of the institution.
The pupils of the attending physicians shall have the privilege of attending the patients with them, but in no case whatsoever are permitted to prescribe.
Duties of the Apothecary.  The Apothecary shall attend at the Dispensary from 12 to 2 o'clock on prescribing days—he shall receive the permits which may be given to the sick by the Trustees of the poor, and shall file the same—he shall register, in a book, the patients under care, the nature of the disease, the time of admission, and when discharged—whether cured, relieved, or dead—he shall prepare and compound the medicines prescribed by the physicians, he shall deliver them to the patients together with plain written directions for taking them—he shall keep an inventory of all the utensils, surgical instruments, and all other property belonging to the said Dispensary, and shall be accountable for the same—he shall keep a regular account of all the medicines, instruments, &c. purchased or furnished by him, by the directions of the Trustees.

It contains 600 acres, about 350 of which are cleared and well enclosed, and laid off into convenient fields; the remainder of the tract is in timber.

The soil is good and there are on the premises several never-failing springs, and a considerable young orchard composed of different kinds of fruit, and many well grown fruit trees now bearing, and a large proportion thereof well laid down in clover, for which it is particularly adapted.

Being extremely infirm and unable to manage a farm, my object is to retire to some town or city and spend the remainder of my life.

Alexander Gordon,
Formerly Tavern-keeper at Woodbridge;
TAKES the liberty of informing the Public, that he has opened a HOUSE OF ENTERTAINMENT at the Occoquan Mills—where he solicits the patronage of his friends, and hopes for the encouragement of the public.
He begs leave to inform those who may please to favor him with their custom, that his house is commodious, his stables good, and shall be well kept; that he is furnished with a good assortment of liquors; and that in the different duties of an inn-keeper, his exertions to please shall be unremitted.
He hopes that his house will be a convenient stand for travellers, being a moderate stage from Alexandria or Dumfries; and from the great labor and expense that has been bestowed by Mr. Elliott, in making a new road leading by this place of unequalled firmness and excellence, he has no doubt but that the route by Occoquan, needs only to be known to entitle it to a decided preference to that by Colchester, and more particularly it will accommodate those travelling from Fauquier, Culpepper, and Orange to Alexandria and the Federal City. A view of the different works at Occoquan, will always be amusing to the stranger who has an hour to spare.

Water-Street ACADEMY.
THE subscriber returns his most sincere thanks to the patrons of his school, for the very liberal and friendly encouragement, he has met with since he came to Alexandria; and most respectfully informs them, and the citizens in general, that, as he has retaken the house in which he now resides, they may consider his Academy as a permanent school establishment; so that those who prefer him as a teacher may, very probably, have it in their power to send their children to him until they have finished their education: that is, if such parents or guardians conceive, that having obtained a knowledge of the following branches of literature (which are taught in the most careful manner by the subscriber) is a sufficient education for their children, viz. the English language, critically grammatical, agreeably to the celebrated Walker's Standard of pronunciation, Writing, and Arithmetic in all its branches, Mensuration of Superficies and Solids, according to Hutton and Bonnycastle, Gauging Vessels of the following figures, in the most exact manner, by cubical arithmetic, namely, Hexagonal, Cubic, Spheroidal, and Casks of all kinds and sizes.
As the great and many advantages which result from having children begin and finish their education with one teacher, are so evident that every well informed person must, upon the least reflection discover them, the subscriber conceives it unnecessary to say any thing in vindication of the subject; but refers it to the good sense and judgment of his friends and fellow citizens to determine, whether it is not better to fix their children in one school, and continue them there, (provided that school is well regulated) than to change their teachers frequently, as some do, in the course of their education; which practice is most undoubtedly fraught with many evils to such children. As the subscriber can teach but a very small part of the children in Alexandria, the above remarks cannot justly be construed to be the effects of avarice: But he would just observe, both for his own sake, and the sake of his fellow-labourers in the didactic profession, that no teacher, be he ever so competent to his task, will receive much credit from the enlightened part of the community, even by his utmost exertions to instruct such children as are moved about from school to school, either to satisfy their caprice, or upon any occasion whatever, that is not of very considerable importance.
Those who are desirous of having their children taught by a person scrupulously strict in the discharge of his duty, as it respects the manners, morals and progress of his pupils in their learning, are invited to visit the subscriber's Academy, and judge for themselves of his manner of conducting a school and method of teaching. As an Assistant is now engaged for a considerable time, between twenty and thirty scholars can be taken, in addition to the number now in the school.
An Evening School
Will be opened by the Subscriber, on MONDAY the 2d of September next, at the low rate of Three Dollars per scholar per quarter, ink, quills, and wood included; and will teach till the first of March, provided encouragement of fees.
