(G.) (Continued.)
Extract of a letter from Josiah Blakey, Esq. consul of the United States at St. Jago in Cuba, to the Secretary of State, dated 7th June, 1805.
"The brig Trio of New York, from Liverpool for New Orleans, cargo dry goods, has been wholly unloaded and is now offered for sale. After taking all the dry goods out of the ship Governor Strong of Alexandria, Clark, master, have returned her to the captain."
"Since the last evacuation of Hispaniola, more than one thousand American seamen have been landed in this port, most of them without clothes, and all without any possible means of support, but such as they receive from their own government."
Extract from the same to the same, dated 1st July, 1805.
"The scene of robbery, destruction, devastation, perjury, cruelty and insult, to which the Americans captured by French pirates and brought into this and the adjacent ports, have been subjected, perhaps has not been equalled in a century past."
Here follows a list, received in Mr. Blakey's letter of the 1st July eighteen hundred and five, of vessels captured by Spanish privateers, designating the name of the vessel captured, of what place, whence sailing, where bound, name of master, cargo, &c. some of which particulars we have omitted.

James Madison, esq. Secretary of State of the U. S.
Sir, When depredations on neutral property by powers at war, become the order of the day, when no respect is paid to existing treaties, I conceive it a duty incumbent on every individual to note every such infringement, and to give advice of it to the executive of that government to which he belongs.
As I am unaccustomed to a forensic style I shall simply relate my own case, & what has come under my immediate observation during my short stay in this island:
I left Norfolk on the 1st of June last in the brig Catherine bound for the island of Antigua, laden with a cargo of Provisions and lumber, where I arrived and sold said cargo. I left the island of Antigua on the 29th July, with a return cargo, bound back to Norfolk. On the 4th August in lat. 33 deg. 10 min. N. and long. 65 deg. west, was captured by the French brig called General Blanshot, John Baptiste de Bruce commander, and sent into one of the ports at the west end of this island. The privateer plundered me of my stores and ship's provisions and part of the cargo.
The vessel was immediately stripped of her sails and rigging, and sent on shore, my people taken out, put on board of another vessel and sent out of the island. Under these circumstances I came to the city, and applied to the governor requesting his interference, stating to him that my papers were perfectly regular and that my capture was of course illegal; and I likewise requested him to order security to be
given for the amount of my brig and cargo, as the agent of said privateer was a resident merchant of this city. But all my representation has been to no effect. He has absolutely refused to take cognizance of my business. My papers remain in the hands of Mr. Duabon the agent of the captors. I may be detained here for many months to come and the vessel and cargo exposed to a total loss. My trial if any I am to have must be by the determination of this government either at Guadalupe or Martinique: thus under the present circumstances this island may become the asylum of pirates and robbers. No pretence has been given for my capture, as I came from an English island I might have English property on board. At the time of capture my cabin boy was carried on board the privateer, put in irons and threatened with severe chastisement unless he would declare that specie was deposited in some part of the vessel.
This attempt proving fruitless I now, in all probability, must be the victim of measures dictated by men without principles of honesty or honor. Thus far as relates to myself. I shall now take the liberty of relating to you some other particulars that have come under my observation. At my arrival at the port of my entry on the west end of the island, I found at anchor the brig Susannah of Portland. (Me) the captain's name I do not recollect; said brig arrived the day before and prize to the same privateer: she was from Portland bound to Jamaica and was taken on her outward bound passage with a cargo of fish and lumber; said brig was immediately unloaded and ballasted with sand, and without more ceremony the captain and crew of said vessel, together with the mate and crew of my own vessel, were shipped off with a very scanty supply of provisions and left to search for the first port they could make. On the 4th instant arrived the brig Polly of Triverton, R. I. captain Tripp, and the 15th instant the schooner Mary Ann of Boston, captain Anthony, and bound to the island of Barbadoes, loaded with cattle and horses and provisions under deck. They are prizes to Spanish privateer from Cadiz bound to Vera Cruz. The captains live still on board with their crews, and remain so for many days to come, while the captor and his agent are prosecuting every measure to effect the condemnation of said vessels as lawful prizes.
I am, &c. (Signed) Joseph Leonard. Native of New Hampshire, and resident of Virginia.
New Orleans, August 7th, 1805. Sir, In my communication of the 29th ultimo was inclosed a letter to me, from the Marquis of Casa Calvo, (soliciting that Spanish officers now in this territory may be exempted from the payment of the municipal tax) together with a copy of my answer thereto.
I now have the honor to transmit you a second letter from the marquis, on the subject together with a list of the officers alluded to; and if it be not improper, I should be glad to hear your sentiments as to the propriety of the exemption solicited: my own opinion is, "that the officers generally, who possess property within this territory, are liable to taxation; nor can an exemption be made in favour of the marquis and the members of his family, until he shall have been recognized by the president as an agent of Spain." You no doubt, will be surprised to find so many foreign officers in this city; the fact is, sir, they are wedded to Louisiana, and necessity alone will induce them to depart. I have repeatedly, by letter and verbally, informed the marquis that the continuance in this territory of "so many Spanish officers" so long beyond the right occasion for it," was not seen with approbation, and urged their departure. The marquis has often assured me of his disposition to comply with my wishes, but you will perceive that the inconvenience is not remedied.
I have the honor to be, Sir With great respect, Your humble servant. WILLIAM C. C. CLAIBORNE. The honorable JAMES MADISON, SECRETARY OF STATE.
To the Governor of the Territory of Orleans.
Sir, In consequence of the letter that your excellency has been pleased to write to me, relating to the doubt which I manifested concerning the persons employed in the
commission of limits and other subjects of his Catholic majesty, who are yet in, but about to depart from this province, I enclose to your excellency the lists of the persons who now compose the said commission, together with that of the individuals who are about to depart from this country, as soon as their business therein shall be terminated and also that of the retired individuals, and of the widows on pensions, who may remain in this province. May your excellency live many years.

CONTINUATION OF FOREIGN NEWS, Received by the ship Neptune, Stanton, from Liverpool, arrived at New York.
LONDON, November 7. Our readers have perused the modest affecting account of the total defeat of the combined fleets, and the ever to be lamented death of lord Nelson, with those mixed feelings of grief, gratitude, and joy, which it is so well calculated to inspire. We have some interesting particulars to add to it:—
It has afforded much surprise, that the combined fleets should have adopted the resolution of putting to sea, and it has been supposed, that nothing but a total want of provisions could have induced them to hazard a battle with lord Nelson. The fact was not so—they had received orders to put to sea the first opportunity that should be afforded them by our fleet being weakened by detachments from it, or by stress of weather to quit the blockade of Cadiz. Their object was to make for the Mediterranean to collect in their passage the Carthagena squadron, and to proceed to Toulon, where, being joined by the vessels in that port, they would have formed a fleet of between forty and fifty sail of the line, with which it was their design to prevent, if possible, the sailing of any expedition with British troops from Malta, or any expedition with Russian troops from Corfu. Such is said to have been their plan; and the course they were steering, and vice admiral Collingwood's dispatches, justify us in giving credit to the assertion. The enemy heard of admiral Louis having been dispatched with seven sail of the line to Tetuan Bay for provisions and other necessaries, and they conceived that our fleet had thereby been di-
minished to about 20 sail of the line, must not be imagined that his lordship remained directly off Cadiz with his fleet, within sight of the port. His great object was to induce them to come out. "Let them come out" he would often say, "my object is not to induce them by the display of all my force to remain in port, but to do every thing in my power to tempt them to come out." In pursuance of this design he never kept all his fleet before Cadiz. This was the manner in which he stationed his fleet. The Euryalus frigate was within half a mile of the mouth of the harbor to watch the enemy's movements, and give him the earliest intelligence: Off the harbor, but at a greater distance, he had about 7 or 8 sail of the line. He remained himself off Cape St. Mary's with the remainder of his fleet, and a line of frigates extended and communicated between him and the seven or eight sail off Cadiz. The advantage of this plan was that he could receive supplies and reinforcement off Cape St. Mary's, without the enemy being informed of it, and thus they remained constantly ignorant of the real force under his command. But being acquainted as we have already said, with the circumstance of Admiral Louis having been dispatched with seven sail of the line, they conceived his force not to amount to more than 20 sail of the line. Great praise is due to the admiralty for the active and vigorous exertions they had made to place Lord Nelson's force in the best possible state; the combined fleets at Cadiz, had in a more particular manner fixed their attention—they had strong reason to suspect what their intentions were. Just before they came out of port, his Lordship had been reinforced by three or four sail of the line from home; of this, by Lord Nelson's judicious conduct in stationing his fleet, the enemy were uninformed.
His lordship had received from the admiralty on the 1st and 2d of October, such information as induced him to believe that the enemy would soon put to sea. He had arranged, before he left London to assume the command of the fleet, a plan by which he would fight the enemy upon a new principle; it was, we understand, extremely simple, but it was no sooner made known than it carried conviction to every naval officer; it afforded a complete remedy for that inconvenient system which requires a vast variety and frequent changes of signals. "I shall never distract my fleet," said he, "in the day of battle with a super abundance of signals." On the 4th of October he ordered all captains on board the Victory, and laid before them his new plan. It was one of the peculiar features of lord Nelson's character to be able, by the clearness and precision of his plan and orders to make every man understand him in an instant: the new plan carried immediate conviction to them; they all exclaimed, that it could not but be successful. The last order given before the action, was a short but comprehensive one; "England expects every man to do his duty." He determined himself to fight the Spanish admiral's ship, the Santissima Trinidad. It is worthy of remark, that he had before gained the highest honor in grappling with the Santissima Trinidad, in the action of the 14th of February 1797, off Cape St. Vincent. She was the largest ship in the world, carried 136 guns, and had four decks. Lord Nelson ordered his own ship to be carried along side of his old acquaintance as he called her, and she was lashed to her How well the action was fought, how severe the conflict, admiral Collingwood's excellent letter informs us. The enemy were engaged at the muzzle of their guns—Every one knows how full their ships always are of men, every seventy four gun ship has about nine hundred men; the Santissima Trinidad had sixteen hundred including a corps of troops, amongst whom were some sharpshooters. Captain Hardy who saw from the manner in which these sharpshooters fired from the main top of the Santissima Trinidad into the Victory, their object was to pick out the officers and more particularly of course, that greatest of all heroes, repeatedly requested as we stated yesterday, lord Nelson to change his coat, which was decorated with the stars of the different orders, or at least to put on a great coat over it. His lordship replied that he had no time to do it. The first that was killed near his lordship, was his secretary Mr. Scott—he was killed by a musket ball which entered his head, and he fell dead instantly. The second shot a few minutes after, struck his lordship and entering below his left shoulder took a direction through the vital parts, he staggered against the officer near him, and was immediately carried below. The surgeons were busily employed upon the wounded his lordship desired to take his turn. As soon as the surgeon examined the wound

he saw it was mortal. The gallant hero had his eyes fixed attentively upon him. He saw the surgeon turn pale, and his countenance assume the deepest impression of grief—"it is mortal I see," he said. The surgeon did not or could not speak. He desired to be placed upon a chair, and directed captain Hardy to attend him. He spoke no more of his wound, except when he first communicated to the captain the surgeon's conviction. He employed the short time he lived, about an hour, in dictating orders relative to the battle, in receiving reports, in enquiring what was the condition of the enemy, and what ships had struck. He had from the first thought that he should be wounded; but he spoke of the probability of it with his usual calmness. When he found just before the action that he had forced the enemy in such a situation that they could not avoid an engagement, he displayed the utmost animation, and his usual confidence of victory; he said to captain Hardy, and the other officers who surrounded him on the quarter deck, "now they cannot escape us; I think we shall at least make sure of twenty of them. I shall probably lose a leg, but that will be purchasing a victory cheaply."
Even had the victory been purchased with that loss alone, it would not have been cheaply purchased, but how much dearer a price has been paid for it. To the last moment of his precious life, he was able to give directions with the utmost clearness and precision. Like General Wolfe breathing out his life on the heights of Abraham, he enquired "whether the enemy gave way?" He was gratified with the intelligence conveyed him almost every moment, that more of the enemy's ships had struck. As life ebb'd fast away the number augmented. He was told that fifteen had struck, he seemed enraptured with the intelligence. The last that struck before his death was the superb Santissima Trinidad. When he heard that she had struck he appeared convulsed with joy; he lived but a few moments afterwards. In his last moments, with that piety which had ever formed a distinguished feature of his character, he returned thanks to God that he had permitted him to die in the arms of victory. He desired his blessing to be conveyed to all who were the nearest to his heart, and whom he could have wished to have again embraced, "but the will of God be done." He laid his head upon the shoulder of captain Hardy, who remained with him to the last, and in a few moments his gallant soul escaped for ever!
Admiral Collingwood had previously received the account of his being mortally wounded;—Lord Nelson had sent him his final instructions, his affectionate regard, and his last farewell. It was known too on board the Santissima Trinidad that he had been wounded; just after he had received the wounds, there was a general shout on board the Spanish ships. Of the engagement we have received some few more particulars; the French and Spaniards both fought desperately; the former seemed to wish to clear themselves, from the imputation thrown upon them by the latter, after the action with Calder, of having wished to make the Spaniards bear the brunt of the action. Admiral Gravina is said to have declared that he had been thrust forward in that action, but that he would this time make the French take an equal share; they did so, and both fought bravely. Many of our ships had two or more on them at a time. The Temeraire was boarded by two ships at once; they poured upon the quarter deck in great numbers, rushed to the flag staff, and tore down the colours. Our gallant tars were in the highest degree enraged; they immediately turned to—cleared the deck of every one of the enemy; most were killed, the rest were forced overboard; the colours were hoisted amid loud huzzas, and the two ships which had boarded her, were forced in their turn to strike their colors.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. MONDAY, DECEMBER 23.
From the Mediterranean. Extract of a letter from Captain Daniel Rogers, of the ship Resolution, to his owners, at Gloucester, dated
MALAGA, Sept. 20, 1805. "On my passage from St. Andero, I was boarded by the Revenge, 74 guns, off Cadiz, and treated politely, although I had a Spanish cargo on board, and bound from one Spanish port to another; but I knew that I was clear, or I should not have taken the wheat; there was an order of the court of St. James, not to stop neutral vessels loaded with wheat, bound to Spanish ports, although it was Spanish property. That order still exists."
"There have been a great number of American vessels carried into Spanish ports, and condemned vessels and cargo, but that is done with; there has been an order from Madrid to deliver them all up again."
Extract of a letter from Paris, dated the 13th of October. Era this, you are prepared to hear of hostilities being commenced on the continent. From the different publications of the parties, judge for yourself the cause, and where the fault lies. You are as well qualified to fix it as I am. For a time, even after the Emperor left this, many
calculated on peace; for although the Austrian army was in force, the emperor evidently calculated upon being joined by Russia, before the French army could be in Italy, or on the Rhine. The extraordinary march and exertions of France have deceived Austria, and disappointed all her expectations and calculations. The first cannon appears to have been fired on the 16th Vendemaire, 7th current, near Ulm, where the Austrians were defeated, having lost two battalions complete, officers, soldiers, cannon and baggage. This will tend greatly to encourage one army and depress the other, and there is reason to believe that the Austrians will be forced out of the territory of Bavaria, and that the joint army will enter the Austrian dominions before they can be joined by a single Russian. There will be raised here within six months, an additional army of upwards of 300,000 volunteers and conscripts, who will be ready to march wherever their services may be required. This country appears to have power as pre-dominant by land as that of Great Britain by sea. The probability is, that Austria will lose considerably by the present war, and that if Russia gains it will be Turkey and not France, that must sustain the loss.—England has put off the danger, at least for a time, and prevented an invasion, which even if not successful, would produce great confusion in the country; for should 100,000 men have landed in different quarters, no one can doubt that it would have caused great injury; and with the fleet France now possesses and the immense number of gun vessels, the thing appears to me very practicable, that is, to cross the channel. As to the landing I will express no opinion; military men know best.
The run on the bank is mentioned in a letter to one of your friends.* It now appears to have been effected by agents from the other side of the channel, as you will see by their papers. It will not produce the effect intended, though it has done injury and embarrassed individuals. The bank still continues to pay and to discount for the merchants and bankers. A few days I think will stop the run. A few bankers who would have had boldness and patriotism enough to come forward and declare that they would join to support the bank, would have stopped it in a day; but they did not, and it has continued for a fortnight without intermission. This ought to be a lesson to all banks to make a more moderate dividend, to discount less, and to issue less paper. I question whether any one could stand a severe run, though very solid.
* An extract from the letter here referred to is subjoined.
PARIS, 7th Oct. 1805. We are at this moment witnessing a scene which may have great influence upon the commerce of this country, and materially affect the sales of merchandise. The bank of France, which is a bank of discount and deposit, and issues notes like other banks, has for some days past, and still continues to have a run upon it. Of the cause I am ignorant. As yet they have paid upon demand all bills to the amount of 500 francs in specie. Those for 1000 francs they pay one half in specie, and the other in paper. No one doubts that the bank is solid, and that a large capital would remain after paying all demands; yet every one is running to draw specie from it, and in this way to ruin its credit, if not to destroy the institution itself; an institution which is rendered highly useful to commerce by its liberal discounts at 6 per cent. per ann. In consequence of these discounts there will at all times be large sums in notes not yet due for which specie has been advanced by the bank. Under such circumstances it would seem impossible for the bank to pay all its notes as presented. What the result will be, a few days more will probably decide.—Should the bank be destroyed, the Parisians will lament their own folly, and repine at not having supported it. Already discounts for 30 to 60 days is up to 2 and 3 per cent. a month, for here every one is at liberty to charge as much he pleases, and the bankers, one and all, are engaged in that sort of commerce. None of them charge their correspondents less than three fourths, and most of them one per cent. a month. But notes offered at their shop they bargain for according as money is more or less wanted, and of consequence demand 1, 1 1/2, 2, or more, according to circumstances, the paper of other bankers. As this run locks up all the specie, the merchants on the seaboard will find less credit than before with their bankers here, and specie will in like manner be locked up in the provinces; so that all trade will feel the effect for a time. One will not dare to sell, and another will dread to purchase for fear of the impossibility of procuring means of payment.
During this run not a banker has offered to help the bank, and I doubt whether any one would advance six livers specie to enable it to face the demand, though heretofore accustomed to have a million, accounted weekly by the institution—and that at six per cent. per annum, while they were receiving the same paper at 9 or 12 per cent discount. Judge then if they do not injure themselves in not coming forward jointly to support it. The issue you shall be advised of as it may influence your speculations.
From the Charleston Courier.
In the Courier of Monday last, we mentioned the arrival at this port of captain Brum, late master of the brig Success, of New-York, and captain Jordan, late master of the schooner Two Brothers, of Edenton, N. C. These gentlemen have fur-
nished us with the following statements of the piratical treatment they experienced from the Spanish privateers, and of the condemnation of their vessels at Campeachy.
Captain Brum's Statement. "I left Wilmington N. C. on the 11th April last, got to sea on the 17th, and proceeded on my voyage for Jamaica; nothing material occurred till the 3d of May, the Grand Turk bearing S. E. distant 4 or 5 leagues, was brought to by a ssh'r mounting three carriage guns and some swivels, with about fifty men, shewed no colors; who after plundering me of cabin stores, and some boards told me to proceed on my course. May 9th, the East end of Jamaica bearing N. W. distant three leagues, was again plundered by three privateers under French colors, who after taking from me pork, bread, hams, cheese, rigging, &c. left me to pursue my course and the next day I arrived at Kingston. I sold my cargo and got returns in rum and specie, and being embargoed from May 24, to July 3, sailed from Port Royal July 6; on the 21st at 8 A. M. the west end of Cuba bearing E. N. E. distant three or four leagues was brought too by a French privateer, the Napoleon, who ordered me to lower down my boat and come on board with my papers, which was complied with; after examining my papers and breaking open some letters, he told me to proceed on my voyage—but in passing from the privateer to return on board my vessel, I was stopped by a felucca, called the Buen Onion, under Spanish colors, mounting one gun and four swivels, commanded by William Lazeres, who took all my papers, and sent a prize master and five men on board with me.
About midnight they got the brig in and anchored on the north side of Cuba among the rocks. After robbing the brig of every thing which they wanted, and damaging her stern post among the rocks, they anchored her on the 15th July about one and an half leagues from shore, in sight of the highlands of Bonavista; about the middle of the night I came on deck, and saw the prize-master and all his crew standing near the cabin door, but saw none of my people or passengers on deck; I soon went below again, not thinking myself safe with them on deck, as I thought from their proceedings they had determined to take the lives of me and my crew; about an hour after I went below I was alarmed by a yell and cry, and found the prize-master and his crew were fastening down the hatches and cabin doors, but contrary to their expectations not meeting with any opposition on the part of myself or crew, and not thinking proper to come below to execute their black design, they kept us confined till about 11 o'clock the next morning, when the privateer having again joined the brig, they came on board with most of their crew, armed with cutlasses, knives, &c. they opened one of the scuttles, and ordered us to come on deck one at a time, and as we came upon deck one after another, they beat and cut us with the aforementioned weapons; they sent the mate and part of my crew on board the privateer, and put the whole of the crew (except myself and captain Gaylord, a passenger) in irons; and at the same time telling me that I had come off d—d well, for, said one of the officers, if I was captain of the privateer I would hang you all at the yard-arm. They then broached a hogshead of rum, a barrel of sugar, and a barrel of coffee, and took what they wanted of each, together with some pork and beef and other stores, and ordered the brig for the port of Campeachy.
During the passage from Cape Antonio to Campeachy, the prize master and most of his crew manifested the most hostile disposition towards me and the passengers shutting us up all night in the cabin; and I was repeatedly warned by a French passenger, who understood and overheard some of their conversation, not to go on deck after dark, as the prize master was determined to murder me should an opportunity to do it without much noise occur. On my arrival at Campeachy, my papers were lodged with the Marine Tribunal, which is composed of two members, one is called the commandant, the other the judge; the latter draws up the sentence, which the Commandant signs, without any regard to justice, treaties, or the law of nations; and as the laws and regulations of Spain, made and provided in these cases, will always be in favour of those who can or will pay most for it; and as the owners and agents of privateers (or rather pirates) can better afford to give one half of the American property sent in here by their cruisers, than the masters or owners can one fourth, to the Marine Tribunal, they of course condemn all that are sent in—there having
been but one exception; this was the ship Citizen, of New-Orleans, capt. Churnsides, who on his arrival at that place applied for permission to sell his cargo, which was denied and the ship ordered off; capt. C. got under way about six o'clock in the evening and stood to sea, a Spanish privateer then in the port got under way at the same time, and about eight hours after boarded the ship and sent her back to Campeachy, after plundering the captain and supercargo of some watches and specie.
The judge gave them to understand that the ship and cargo would be condemned; they made him an offer, which he accepted, of five hundred dollars; the ship was given up and the captors ordered to pay damages. The agent of the captors paid the Judge 1500 dollars, for condemning captain Brum's vessel, although the trial was spun out to nearly 3 months, from which sentence the captain appealed, and when he applied to the Tribunal for a condemnation and proceedings in the trial, together with some accounts and private papers, of his in their possession they refused to let him have them, or any part of them, unless he would revoke the appeal.
Captain Jordan's Statement. "On my passage from Jamaica to North Carolina, to which I belonged, with a cargo of rum, the proceeds of a cargo of lumber, which I had carried to Jamaica, I was captured off Havanna by a Spanish privateer belonging to that place; my crew consisted of two white men and four negroes, slaves, belonging to gentlemen in North Carolina, which was certified by the collector in Edenton, from whence I cleared on my outward passage; they took the negroes on board the privateer, together with all the vessel's and my private papers, contained in a pocket-book; put a prize-master and four men on board my vessel, and ordered her to Campeachy.
On my arrival at this place, the vessel, cargo & negroes, were condemned. On my expressing astonishment at the condemnation of my vessel, when every thing relative to her voyage was so fair and clear, and enquiring on what they grounded their decision, they produced a letter from the captain of the privateer in which he asserted that I had told him the vessel and negroes were English property; I had never told him a word of the kind, nor did he ever ask me any such question. When I could do no more, I demanded a copy of the proceedings, together with my pocket book and private papers, all of which were positively refused me.
In addition to the above intelligence we are informed that a letter from the Marquis de Casa Yrujo, the Spanish minister at Washington, was in circulation at Campeachy, in which he recommends and approves the above described conduct towards the Americans. The above mentioned gentlemen endeavored to procure a copy of the letter but were refused.

ON the 2d day of January next, an ACADEMY will be opened in this place for the reception of Students, under the direction of the Reverend Mr. SNEYD, assisted by one or more others.
This Gentleman has conducted different Academies for the space of several years past, with great credit: his department is consonant to his station, and to the accomplishments of a scholar he adds the happy facility of exciting in his pupils the symptoms of literary genius, and to cultivate their mental improvements.
In this institution will be taught the Latin and Greek Languages: the English language grammatically: Geography, History, Elocution; the various branches of the Mathematics; Writing; Arithmetic and Book-keeping.
There are few places in our country more advantageously situated for an institution of this nature, than this—Its situation is very elevated and the air salubrious; and in the centre of a remarkably healthy neighborhood; the necessaries of life are cheap and may easily be procured. The strictest attention will be paid to the morals of the Students both in and out of school.
The terms of tuition will be; for the Latin and Greek languages, including Geography, &c. 25 dollars; for the Mathematics 20 dollars; Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, 14 dollars per annum, paid quarterly in advance. A small contribution will be required from each pupil for the purchase of fire-wood.
