EDUCATION.
WHEN I settled here in November last, I informed the inhabitants of Richmond, generally, by advertisements, and some by private recommendations, that an Academy was opened under the direction of Mrs. O'Reilly and myself, for the education of young Ladies, in the various departments of English literature and elegant female accomplishments. My intention was to dedicate the entire of my time to the literary tuition; having no doubt, of being fully employed in my attendance on an institution so much wanted here. As I have not sufficient employment in the young Ladies Academy, I will receive a limited number of orderly boys, whom I will educate in the knowledge of the English language grammatically and accurately; varying arithmetic and book-keeping, history, Geography and the use of the globes, Latin and Greek. The pupils placed under my care shall be faithfully and expeditiously prepared for the composing house or college. The certificate of the trustees of Princeton Academy in New-Jersey, which I superintended for several years, can be seen at my school-room adjoining Major Du-Vall's; and also the certificate of the Rev'd. Dr. S. Smith, President of Princeton College, under whom I taught the grammar school annexed to the College.
ROBERT O'REILLY.
N. B. I will superintend the English tuition of the young ladies placed with Mrs. O'Reilly. Twelve young ladies can be accommodated with boarding, for fifty dollars each per quarter, including music, drawing and French, and the advantage of private tuition before and after school hours.

FROM THE WESTERN WORLD.
The Kentucky Spanish Association, Blount's Conspiracy, and General Miranda's expedition. NO. VI.
The conspirators, their friends, and their abettors are perpetually calling upon us to produce our proofs. We have already stated that all the documents which may be in our possession, shall be published at the close of the investigation. In the mean time, however, we beg leave to ask, are not the living characters to whom we appeal frequently as to the truth of our statements, good testimony of their correctness? Has not general Scott repeatedly declared in Lexington, since the first number, that the circumstance which was related of the conspirators having offered to him the command of the intended rebel army, is correct? Will any of the hired and prostituted editors in the pay of the conspirators presume to say, that general Scott has not repeatedly made this declaration? Is not this declaration of gen. Scott therefore good proof of that circumstance. We scarcely relate an action of the conspirators without mentioning some living characters, and till we are said never to produce proof. Is not oral testimony in a court of justice of equal import as written documents, and ought not this testimony to be also admitted in the present question?
We have already noticed several factspeculations of the conspirators; we shall relate one more which was materially to affect the fate of Kentucky if accomplished. About nine years since a company under the firm of Hall and Co. principally composed of conspirators, made a proposal to the Legislature of Kentucky to purchase the whole of the Green River lands at a certain price. The price proposed is said to have been not the one fifth of the value of the lands; but expectations were entertained that the purchase might be effected, by bribing the members of the Legislature. The leaders and projectors of this company were one Horatio Hall who afterwards held a commission under Genet, the late Mr. Holmes of Lexington and Mr. George Nicholas. Col. Hickman of Clarke county was at this period a member of the Legislature, and we are authorised by a respectable gentleman in Woodford to state, that col. Hickman informed him that upon Saturday evening a few days before the Legislature were to determine upon the question, Mr. Holmes visited him, and proposed that in the event of his voting in behalf of the purchase, he should have ten thousand acres to himself, upon the same terms as the members of the company of Hall and Co.—Col. Hickman returned no answer at this meeting; but on Monday morning when Holmes renewed his proposal, Hickman gave him to understand that he regarded such offers to a member of the Legislature as extremely improper: Holmes, however, so far from feeling the force of this reply as any honest man would, intimated to col. Hickman that if he did not consider ten thousand acres as a sufficient compensation, he might have twenty or thirty thousand; col. Hickman then explained himself openly by spurning at the offer with the greatest indignation.
We are authorised by the same gentleman to state, that capt. Jouitt and Mr. David Walker were also members of the Legislature at the same time; that capt. Jouitt was a zealous advocate for agreeing to the proposal of Hall and Co., and Walker was not. Upon the day therefore, before the vote of the House was taken, Jouitt called Walker to walk with him and have a little conversation; in which, after endeavouring to exhibit to Walker the many advantages the state would derive from the sale of the Green River lands to Hall and Co. he concluded in nearly the following words, "But damn it Walker, if you vote for Hall and Co. you can have as much of the land as you please to yourself."
In our last number we said a little about this same Jouitt being the partizan and oratorical Bug-pipe of gen. Wilkinson; we now behold him in the most villainous capacity, wishing to barter away the property of his constituents for the best of purposes. The conscience of guilt is always the greatest scourge that lashes the mind of man; it is an unceasing exciter to fear and terror—in the heart of Jack Jouitt it has always acted most powerfully. The first number of the Western World had no sooner appeared than the Buffalo of Woodford (as capt. Jouitt is vulgarly termed) brandished his horns in every direction against the editors; as no acquaintance or correspondence had ever existed between him and them, it is manifest his motives only proceeded from an anticipation of the facts which the Western World would reveal.
Col. S— of Woodford is another instance of the anticipatory ills which conscience inflicts. The gart of honesty, punctuality and impartiality which clothes the venerable form of col. S—, did not appear to him a sufficient shield against the secrets which the W. World would develop; he therefore took an early opportunity of impeaching the truth of the statements which the editors have exhibited, and of arraigning their characters on every occasion, doubting with the idea of weakening the credibility that he expected would be given to a narration
respecting himself. This col. S—I was employed by gen. Wilkinson and other conspirators to make plans of the most important rivers and grounds in Kentucky, which were transmitted to gov. Mero of New Orleans, for which we are well informed col. S—I received from time to time to the amount of two thousand dollars. These plans were carefully packed up in a box partly filled with stone and given to the charge of one Richard Thomas, who now lives a few miles from Versailles to be carried to New Orleans. Orders were at the same time given to Thomas, that if his boat should be boarded in a forcible manner, or if any individuals should make an attempt at searching the box he was immediately to throw it overboard. Thomas himself was ignorant of the contents of this secret box, but the strict injunctions given to him by Wilkinson naturally have excited his curiosity until this day. It is true that col. S—I might have been ignorant of the purpose for which Wilkinson intended the plans, but we think the probability is against him. He was well informed of the frequent visits which Wilkinson made to governor Mero, and the respectable standing which col. S—I then held in the state afforded him also an opportunity of knowing the designs of the Spanish association. From these circumstances therefore, although we have no proof, yet we are impressed with the opinion that col. S—I was certainly a partizan in the scheme.
We stated in one of our preceding numbers, the disguised style in which his honour Judge Sebastian and his son Alfred failed up the Mississippi on their return to Kentucky in 1799. A few months after they came back, a person of the name of Joseph George, at present living in the vicinity of Versailles, but then an overeer in the employ of Judge Sebastian, was sent to Louisville to carry up to Sebastian's house, a flour barrel said to be loaded with goods that had been sent to the Judge from New Orleans. Joseph George in placing the barrel in his wagon, perceived it was extremely heavy; but what must his surprise have been, when on opening it at the Judge's house, it was full of Dollars? George also affirms that the dollars were all new and fresh from the mint. It is well known that Sebastian had at this period, no commerce or traffic of any sort with New Orleans, that would have justified a remittance of such a valuable present? We humbly request his honour the Judge, to give us some explanation of their motives.
The art, intrigue, and treachery of General Wilkinson appear sufficiently from the perusal of the following letters which passed between one Simon M. Stockdell, an old revolutionary soldier under Gen. Wayne, now living at Cincinnati, and a person of the name of Charles Hyde, a tool of Wilkinson's. Stockdell had been sent by Gen. Wayne, to the falls of Ohio in 1795, on some business of a private and important nature. Wilkinson had strong suspicions that his business related to an investigation of his connexion with Giozo and Mero, and that Stockdell had procured for Wayne, documents on that subject. A misfortune which befell Stockdell two years afterwards, afforded Wilkinson an opportunity of attempting an extortion of the secret from poor Stockdell, who happily, however, had fortitude enough to resist his base proffers. The circumstance was briefly this:—In December, 1796, Stockdell went to Detroit to settle an account he had again one George M'Dougall, who was indebted to him for 250 dollars, for services rendered by Stockdell as a clerk to M'Dougall at Defiance. Wilkinson then commanded at Detroit, and M'Dougall was his intimate acquaintance, and general agent in that territory. M'Dougall, at the suggestion of Wilkinson, commenced a suit against Stockdell for 500 dollars without any grounds or foundation. The latter being a stranger, and without friends, was sent to jail. But having some acquaintance with Hyde, the known tool of Wilkinson, he addressed to him a short letter acquainting him with his unfortunate situation, which occasioned the following correspondence, that exhibits the craft and design of Wilkinson, without any comment whatever.
Detroit, Jan. 30th, 1797.
DEAR SIR,
Your letter of the 28th is now before me. The picture you gave of your situation, is really a picture of deep distress, and excites emotions of pain in the breast ever solicitous for the welfare and happiness of every human being, particularly of one who has been a soldier. Nothing could afford a man of feeling more pleasure, than to extend his acts of benevolence to one in your situation. I know your situation is disagreeable—I have seen the cell in which you are confined. I should have spoke to you when I was with you last, if you had not been in a room with such vile characters; I hope the fault is not yours.
Now, Sir, I am to tell you that I will furnish you with wood, a stove, food, and all comfortable things that you may be in need of, provided you will tell me by a letter the whole and candid history of a circumstance which sent you to the rapids of Ohio, in Dec. 1795. I saw you in Cincinnati when you were on your way to that place, and upon a mission; I am not altogether ignorant; You know my meaning. I will keep the thing from promulgation until after the 4th March next, as a man of honor, and one disposed, as well as able and willing, to render every essential services. If an event does not happen on the 4th March, which will be beyond all doubt; any communications you may make to me shall never be made to your disadvantage. Many will join me in lending you aid and assistance, if you will please to do a thing; nay, shall not injure you.
Mr. Ball and Mr. Claiborne both would have favoured you, had you not withheld that secret from them.
Bad promises if better broken than kept. One good turn deserves another; this letter is a pledge. I will not take the advantage of your situation; it would be mean and base indeed. I wish to gain your confidence, and to serve you; I expect to hear from you to day; and then you shall be placed in the situation of a gentleman. I have a stove already provided for you, and you shall have it to-morrow; and all other comforts depend entirely upon your reposing the confidence I ask.
I am Sir, your most Obedient Servant, CHARLES HYDE.
[A true copy]
Detroit, January 21st, 1806.
DEAR SIR,
After perusing your letter of the 20th inst. and observing the contents, I acknowledge the goodness and sympathy of your friendship to me, under my present disagreeable situation.
In the manner you have presented the question to me requesting an answer, under my present confinement, is identically the real fact of taking the advantage of my necessity. If you have expressed your sentiments to me on the subject we are now on—I presume it was not perused before it was handed to me, and as I have to answer it, I must take the sense of the words as they express themselves. Particularly as you have been so long acquainted with me, and it was never mentioned until now—at a time when necessity obliges calls for assistance, and when I can't call myself my own person.
You also say that my friends Mr. Ball and Mr. Claiborne, would have favoured me with their assistance, had they not believed that I withheld this secret from them. Was it my place to inform them or any other person what my business was at the falls of the Ohio, in the year 1795, without being asked—it was never mentioned by either to me; and therefore I can only thank those gentlemen for their exertions for my relief. Besides it leaves room for a further supposition, which I believe is the real cause of my confinement.
Although George M'Dougall is not a friend of neither gen. Wayne nor gen. Wilkinson, and has discovered his sentiments to me of both; for which no doubt he is very sorry for by this time, he pretends friendship to both, but not a friend to either. You say it is better to break a bad promise than to keep it. It may perhaps be better in some instances with some people.
Excuse me, Sir, when I tell you it is extremely hard that a citizen of the U. States, who has just been serving his country; and must be compelled by individuals (not superior in principle, and wears honor in disguise) to prevent a longer confinement, which leaves so much room for censure. To have avoided any censure in this business, you should have first relieved me from distress, and then you could with more propriety asked the question, (which you are aiming to extract out of me) which sent me to the falls of Ohio in 1795: then you might have conceived me under obligations, and perhaps would not deny a question of that kind, as general Wilkinson was chargeable by gen. Wayne, and gen. Wayne opposing gen. Wilkinson's plans or opinion, in the liberation of Newman, who was brought to Greenville, at Head Quarters, bound in chains and hand cuffs, for suspicion of desertion to the Indians, to defeat the army on gen. Wayne's expedition, though said to be done by gen. Wilkinson's orders, after the expedition was performed and the Indians brought to a treaty. Although an attempt made on me for a bribery, I do not believe you injure otherwise than to extort this secret from me for gen. Wilkinson; as you observed to me it was the request of gen. Wilkinson to get that secret from me; and I should not want money, and should have an appointment in the service after the 4th of March following, by which time general Wayne is to be put out of command, and gen. Wilkinson is to have the command of the United States' army; and if I would gratify the general so far as to divulge the secret to the Falls, I should be placed in the situation of a gentleman, as general Wilkinson then stood charged of certain things by general Wayne, who likely would injure him.
I have been offered five hundred dollars by George M'Dougall, in the name and bearer from Wilkinson; and that should only be pocket money for me if I would tell the business. After general Wayne had gone to the board of war, and general Wilkinson commanding in his absence, he passing by Defiance, where I resided, this proposition was then handed to me by George M'Dougall, in a short letter to that amount. I refused, and said I would be willing at any time when called on or required by justice and not to an individual.
I am much hurt at this subject being mentioned at this time, which is a convincing proof of its being the real cause of that vile rascal George M'Dougall and others forcing me into jail, by Wilkinson's friends infusing into the minds of others, this, to get the business of the falls from me.
I was forced into jail by Ebbett M'Dougall's deputy sheriff, by orders of M'Dougall, and Judge May, the damned British chimney sweep, who is just made judge of the court of common pleas for this district, who at this time order not to be taken any security, and refused several officers who offered their services.
You express a desire to gain my confidence—why should this be mentioned, when it is not in my power to serve you any way now, altho' it may be possible that in seven years, if we both should live, to serve you in return if relieved now. M'Dougall refused to settle with me, and pay me two hundred and fifty dollars, which he justly is indebted; then to sue me for a hundred dollars. I cannot account for it no other way, than basely taking that advantage, with a combined set of vile disposed men. Liberty or no credit.
I am, Sir, your's,
SIMON M. STOCKDELL.
Monday, February 13th, 1797.
SIR, I received your letter dated yesterday, and would comply with your request, did there not hang a cloud over your conduct—aluding to the other day. Friendship wears no disguise; and you were lately told one good turn deserves another—if you persist in your unwise determination, I am sure you will not say I am wrong; but then you will undoubtedly find others ready to reward you—at any rate, I will give you money if you want it. Should you find me evidence of your confidence you shall be immediately gratified.
I am in the interim, your's,
CHAS. HYDE.

LONDON, July 14. LORD NELSON.
The following Codicil to the will of this illustrious hero was not proved till the 4th instant:
CODICIL.
"October the twenty-first, one thousand eight hundred and five, then in fight of the combined fleets of France and Spain, distant about ten miles."
"Whereas the eminent services of Emma Hamilton, widow of the right honourable Sir William Hamilton, have been of the very greatest service to my king and country, to my knowledge, without her receiving any reward from either our king or country, first, that she obtained the king of Spain's letter in 1796, to his brother, the king of Naples, acquainting him of his intention to declare war against England; from which letter the ministry sent out orders to the then Sir J. Jervis, to strike a stroke if opportunity offered, against either the arsenals of Spain or her fleets; that neither of those was done is not the fault of Lady Hamilton; the opportunity might have been offered. Secondly, the British fleet under my command could never have returned the second time to Egypt, had not Lady Hamilton's influence with the queen of Naples caused letters to be written to the governor of Syracuse, that he was to encourage the fleet being supplied with every thing should they put into any port of Sicily; we put into Syracuse and received every supply; went to Egypt and destroyed the French fleet! Could I have rewarded these services I would not now call upon my country, but as that has not been in my power, I leave Emma Lady Hamilton therefore a legacy to my king and country, that they will give her an ample provision to maintain her rank in life. I also leave to the beneficence of my country, my adopted daughter Horatia Nelson Thompson; and I desire she will use in future the name of Nelson only; these are the only favors I ask of my king and country at this moment, when I am going to fight their battle. May God bless my king and country, and all those I hold dear—my relations it is needless to mention; they will, of course, be amply provided for."

BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 2.
VACCINE INOCULATION.
Lord H. Petty rose in order, pursuant to notice which he had formerly given, to call the attention of the House to the subject of the Vaccine Inoculation. Though this was no political subject; yet it was one so important to the health and to the very existence of multitudes of the human species, that it was as well worthy the attention of the Legislature, as it certainly promised perhaps to eradicate that horrid disorder called the small-pox. He would not enter at present into any minute detail on this discovery, as it had on a former occasion been brought before the House by his predecessor. This interesting discovery had been the result of the labors of one eminent physician, who had been for 30 years solely occupied in bringing it to maturity. He began so early as the year 1777, and by a slow gradual progress brought it to what it was now. In 1782, he thought of extending it by inoculation, and hoped by this means to effect the total extinction of the small-pox. In 1798, after its beneficial effects had been in some measure ascertained, it was submitted to the public, and began to be generally diffused. In that year it had been adopted in America, not only among the white inhabitants, but also among the Indians, with all the success that its greatest admirers could hope for. By the exertions of his royal highness the commander in chief, it had been diffused over the coast of the Mediterranean. It had spread also in Russia and in Prussia. But what he wished particularly to call the attention of the House to, as it was the circumstance that made the strongest impression on his mind, was, the success which it had met with in the Austrian dominions. He begged leave to mention one fact. In the year preceding the introduction of the Vaccine Inoculation, the deaths at Vienna, by the small-pox, had been 895. In 1802, this discovery having been previously introduced, the number was reduced to 61. In 1803, to 27; and in 1804, to two persons; so that the annual saving, by means of this discovery in that city, was 895 persons—Yet after this it was melancholy to think, that when the progress was so rapid on the continent of Europe, and even in China, the motion in this country should rather be retrograde. This had been owing to some objection that had been made to the practice; but even these very objections furnished a strong argument for the proposition which he was about to submit to the House. But these objections had certainly prevailed in retarding the progress of the discovery in this country. In London, in 1802, the deaths by the small-pox had amounted to 1211. In 1803, they have been reduced to 622. But in consequence of the prejudices against the Vaccine Inoculation, they had in the last year risen to 1,585; so that they were fast approaching to their original amount. Under these circumstances, he had been induced to bring the subject before the Legislature; not with a view of proposing any compulsory measure, for he was aware how improper it would be to propose any measure of compulsion in a case where the persons most nearly concerned must be supposed to be the most competent judges where health and happiness were concerned. Yet it was the duty of the Legislature to endeavor to enlighten the minds of the people, and of giving to an useful discovery, all the weight which their approbation could confer upon it; and he hoped the House would strongly feel the importance of this duty—His object was, that the Royal College of physicians should examine into the case, state the condition of the Vaccine Inoculation in this country, inquire into the causes that retarded its progress and make a report accordingly. He would propose this with a view to have the report before the House early the next session, when it would be referred to a committee, in order that the discovery might have that increased action, which, if the report should be favorable, must follow such an enquiry. And, if the result should be the corroboration of opinion, as to the great benefits which arose from this discovery,
covery, if there was any truth in it, and if the principle was good, notwithstanding the objections which might turn out to be much exaggerated, then it would be for the House to consider whether any reward should be given to Dr. Jenner equal to the important nature of the discovery, consistent with the glory of the British name, which had been thus augmented and extended, and worthy of the dignity and liberality of this House. This would be a subject for after consideration, but certainly when such a valuable discovery had been made among us, we ought not to reject it, but to be the first to adopt it, and make it as extensively useful as possible. He concluded by moving that an humble address be presented to his majesty, requesting that his majesty would direct his Royal College of physicians to inquire into the state of the Vaccine Inoculation in this country, and into the causes that retarded its progress, and report their opinions, and the evidence on which they were founded, and to order that this report should be laid before this House.
Mr. Matthews rose to second the motion. He had at first some doubts as to the usefulness of the discovery, and had attentively watched its progress, and the result was that he was fully convinced of its great value. The small-pox inoculation, he stated, was liable to great objections. Death in many instances ensued; though beneficial to the individuals, it was a magazine of contagion, and it had, besides, the effect of stirring up another disease in the human frame, which was the scrofula. The Cow-pox inoculation was not liable to these objections, and he was of opinion that in the cases in which it had failed, it had not been fairly tried. He had no doubt that posterity would enrol the name of Jenner among those, Inve tas qui vitam excludere per artes Quoque sui memores alios fecere merendo.
Mr. Wilberforce expressed his satisfaction at the subject having been brought forward by the noble lord. He was not surprised that the people of this country had been more slow in allowing the benefits of this discovery, as in a free country, every one was more inclined to judge for himself, and to adhere with stubbornness to his opinion, even when erroneous. The causes of the slow progress of Vaccine Inoculation here, he thought, rather arose from improper matter having been, in some cases used, and from the ignorance of many of the persons who inoculated, and who were not able to distinguish the true from the false species, than from the efforts which had been made to discredit it in some publications, which, as far as he had seen, had been written in such a tone as to render them totally unworthy of attention. He thought, however, that a committee of this House, and of the House of Lords, would have answered better than a report of the College of physicians. He agreed that no compulsion ought to be used, but at the same time he thought that in cases where the parents chose to persist in inoculating with the small-pox, certain regulations ought to be prescribed to them, which should prevent the contagion spreading.
Mr. Windham contended that it was impossible that in a case of this kind, the report of the College of physicians, even in this solemn manner, should not have more weight than the opinion of committees of the Lords and Commons. He agreed as to the mischievous consequences that resulted from a want of care to prevent contagion, but did not think that the care warranted even the degree of restraint recommended by the last speaker.
Motion agreed to, nem. con.
Continuation of Foreign Intelligence, from Papers received at the office of the Public Ledger, by the Father & Sons, Captain Hopkins.
LONDON, July 2.
We are rejoiced to hear our assurances of the perfect innocence of the illustrious female, the Princess of Wales, confirmed from all quarters; and that such is the result of the enquiry no doubt is entertained. We trust it will be found advisable, from the circumstances we have stated, to give the main points of the process, and the report upon them, to the public. We think it a satisfaction due to every member of the community, and a justice to the illustrious personage. The feeling of the public, always affectionate towards this amiable Princess, has assumed a particular animation since this extraordinary transaction has been divulged. Nothing can surpass the demonstrations of love towards her, and the expressions of indignation against her accusers. Yesterday this was exemplified in the most striking manner. A vast multitude collected in front of the house of the virtuous and highly esteemed marchioness Townshend, with whom her royal highness dined, and waited for several hours, till her royal highness retired, for the purpose of cheering her with the most heartfelt expressions of applause and attachment. Such feelings prove, that the people of England will always afford to injured innocence, a support, on which it may rely with a perfect security, against the influence of malice, however foul, against the designs of conspirators, however wicked, and however powerful.
A message from his majesty was yesterday delivered to both houses of Parliament, relative to the usual vote of credit, in order to enable him "the better to defend his possessions from the designs of the enemy, and to provide for such exigencies as may arise." Another debate took place on the training bill, and the house again divided upon the question.
Friday night, in consequence of his majesty's message to parliament on Wednesday, lord Henry Petty, brought forward a proposition relative to the new arrangement and increase of the annuities provided for the maintenance of the younger branches of the royal family, except the duke of York, who in consequence of the ample provision made for him by parliament, had waived any further claim on the liberality of the country. Lord Henry Petty proposed, that the incomes of the princes should be increased from 12,000l. to 18,000l. that of the princess Charlotte of Wales, from 6,000l. to 7,000l. that of the princesses Sophia of Gloucester, from 4,000l. to 5,000l. and that of the duke of Gloucester, from 8,000l. to 14,000l. per annum; 4,000l. was also voted to the duchess Dowager of Gloucester: all of which are now to be secured on and transferred to the consolidated fund.
The poles are not more opposite than are the professions and the practice of office seekers. When the present wing ministry were out, none could talk louder and faster about economy, and saving the people's money, than they. Now they have succeeded to the control of the purse strings, none can be more profuse than they. Besides the immense sum of nearly 150,000l. sterling to support the now earl Nelson; they have at one dash, raised the incomes of all the minor branches of the royal family, some of them fifty per cent. The salary of the princes, (several of whom side with the Foxites) are raised from 12,000l. to 18,000l. per annum. The duke of York is an exception; he refused to have his salary augmented. The princess Charlotte of Wales, (the heir presumptive of the British throne) from 6,000l. to 7,000l. per annum. The
princesses from 5,000l. to 6,000l. and other parts of the numerous family in like proportion. They have also continued the pension granted to admiral lord Rodney, to his grandson, the present lord Rodney.
July 21. Sweden and Prussia cannot be on worse terms than they are now. Neither the late interviews with his Swedish majesty, nor the civilities shown to him by the Prussian generals, have had the effect of making him abate one iota of his pretensions; nor is it likely that they will, as long as he is sure of assistance from Russia to a certain extent. It is the apprehension of being involved with Russia, which has kept his Prussian majesty so long quiet. To the last application from the court of Berlin the emperor of Russia is reported to have answered, that he was not averse to employ his interference for the adjustment of the dispute, but that if called upon, he must fulfil his stipulations with Sweden. After this assurance, we shall be surprised if Sweden should recede, or Prussia persevere.
The fishing boats of Lowestoft and Yarmouth were unusually successful in the course of last week; by the former as many mackerel were caught in one night as sold in the morning upon the beach for £1260. The first 100 sold this season fetched £6, but they were afterwards sold for 5s. per 100. Several boats, with a part of those lately caught, were immediately despatched to Hull; and on Friday last fine mackerel were sold there as low as three half pence each. [Lon. pap.]
From a Report laid upon the table of the House of Commons, it appears, that the manufacture of cloth in Yorkshire has arisen in the course of half a century in the following proportion:
Table with 3 columns: Year, Broadcloths, Narrowcloths. Rows for 1755, 1803.
The following is the quantity of foreign beer brewed in London, by the first six porter breweries, from the 5th of July, 1805, to the 5th of July 1806:
Baylay and Perkins, 935,084 bbls.; Meux & Co. 434,083; Truman and Hanbury, 252,244; Withbread & Co. 207,955; Gyllford & Co. 160,845; Goodwin & Co. 144,394. Total 1,434,522.
Statement of the quantity of beer, denominated porter and stout, brewed in London, by the twelve principal houses, between the 5th of July, 1805, & the 5th of July 1806:—
Meux, 187,819; Barclay, 182,529; Hanbury, 125,820; Withbread, 104,811; Goodwin, 78,385; Shum, 75,111; F. Calvert, 64,475; Brown and Parry, 57,404; Elliot 45,948; J. Calvert, 35,444; Clowes, 36,058; Biley 31,175.
The British employ vessels with odd names to carry their pacific dispatches to France—the Batfish and Bloodhound are among the latest that have gone to the French coast.
BALTIMORE, Sep. 8.
In our Gibraltar Chronicle of July 12, we observe a paragraph stating, that the Spanish government had issued orders to put 18 regiments of infantry, 2 of artillery, and 12 of militia, on the war footing. The conjectures concerning their destination are various, the following are mentioned: 1st. An approaching rupture with France; 2d. The regulars to be sent on a foreign expedition and the militia to do duty in the interior; this opinion is corroborated by the fact, of orders being sent to the commander of the Cadiz squadron, consisting of eight sail of the line, to hold himself in readiness to sail at a moment's warning; and by the well known want in which Spanish America stands of the assistance of the mother country (owing to Miranda's expedition) it is supposed to be intended for that place. The 3d opinion is, that they are intended to garrison the Portuguese ports which are to exclude English ships, and thereby save French troops the trouble, of overrunning the whole country.

DIRECT FROM HOLLAND.
Letters were yesterday received in town by the arrival of the Nestor, captain Layton, from Amsterdam, dated 12th July, which state, that in consequence of the communication opened between the government of France and England, and the rumors of peace, resulting therefrom, a very sensible depression had been experienced in the markets at that place; that but few sales of colonial produce could be effected at any price, particularly sugars; that coffee had fallen to 23 a 24 stivers, and was very dull sale at that quotation.
Captain Layton informs, that the Batavian people were much dissatisfied with the change that had taken place in the government; that the discontent among the lower orders, were loud and general; and the administration of their new foreigner extremely unpopular and disgusting.
From Philadelphia, September 8.
Arrived yesterday afternoon, ship Phoenix, captain Green, 48 days from Amsterdam. Sailed the 10th July.—Reports of negotiations for Peace, between Great-Britain and France, had prevailed there, and depressed the markets. Previous, however, to the 19th, expectations of peace had greatly diminished.
Captain Wilson informs us that Gaeta still held out, and that in a fortnight the Neapolitans had been successful. Admiral Collingwood continued the blockade of Cadiz.

NEW-YORK, September 2.
By the arrival of the brig Vigilant, captain Christie, in 19 days from Kingston, Jam. we are furnished with files of Jamaica papers to the 13th of August. On the 12th of August, the fchr. Stag, Elkell, arrived at Kingston, in 4 days from Aruba, bringing intelligence that General Miranda, after all the difficulties he had met with, had at last effected a landing on the Main, and had taken Coro. The following particulars are from our Kingston papers:
KINGSTON, August 12.
By the Schooner Stag, we learn that General Miranda in the Leader, accompanied with thirteen vessels, among which there were one or two ships, had arrived on the coast of South America, and landed near Coro, of which he had got possession, and, by the reports prevailing at the departure of the Stag from Aruba, had been successful in several engagements with the Spaniards, and was penetrating into the country.
August 13.
We yesterday mentioned the arrival of the expedition under General Miranda, on the Spanish Main, and his subsequent success; we are
now, however, enabled to state the particulars somewhat more accurately.—While captain Elkell was taking in his cargo at Cape St. Roman on the Spanish coast, an overland dispatch was received there, containing accounts of General Miranda having effected a landing at Coro, (which is said to be only 12 hours sail from Aruba) that he had captured it, and was proceeding up the country. It was also asserted, that he was daily joined by the Spaniards, and had several skirmishes with the government forces, in all of which he had been successful. The gentleman who furnished the cargo for the Stag, informed the captain of her, that he was obliged to be under arms the next morning at day-light, as every person not found in arms against Miranda were considered as his accomplices, and instantly executed. Miranda is aided by a British force, but the exact number not ascertained. He had been joined by a British frigate.
CHARLESTON, September 5.
Captain Johnson of the brig Fox, has furnished us with the following statement of the capture of the Spanish frigate Le Pomona, on the 23d ult. after a short, but perhaps one of the most brilliant actions, which the annals of the British navy can afford. It was furnished captain Johnson by captain Brisbane, of the British frigate Arethusa. On the 23d August, in company with the frigate Anson, they discovered a strange ship, and immediately made all sail in chase, at first taking her for the Spanish 74, which is continually running in and out of the Havanna, when the signal was made for laying her on board. She ran in and anchored under the guns of a fort, a small distance to leeward of Havanna, which mounted 16 guns, thirty-six pounders; and she was supported by twelve gun-boats, each mounting a twenty-four pounder forward and a nine pounder aft, and each manned with 100 men. At 11 A. M. the Arethusa ran close in shore, and anchored within pistol shot of the frigate; a general action instantly commenced, and in the course of 20 minutes the frigate struck. During the action 7 of the gun-boats were sunk, and three of them blew up, the other two were run on shore. The fort also, from some accident, blew up in the engagement. The Arethusa was set on fire in the action, by red-hot shot from the fort, and several of her men were wounded by the explosion of some gun-powder in consequence. There were but two men killed on board the Arethusa; captain Brisbane, his first lieutenant, the lieutenant of marines, and thirty seamen, were wounded. On board the Le Pomona, the captain and 70 men were killed, and 30 wounded, several of which had since died of their wounds. The Anson was off as a relieving force, and did not approach the enemy till after the frigate had struck. The Le Pomona, mounted 42 guns, with 340 men, and was from Vera Cruz, with a valuable cargo of specie and plate. It was stated she had on board one million of dollars, several trunks and boxes of which were removed on board the Arethusa, after the action, together with part of the plate. The Arethusa mounts but 32 guns. Captain Brisbane lamented his inability to save any of the seamen on board the gun-boats that sunk, which, together with those on board the boats that blew up, he supposed must have amounted to nearly 1000 men, besides those that were killed on board the frigate, and blown up in the fort.

NORFOLK, September 4.
Correction.
The statement in our last of Sir Edward Berry's having resigned and gone for England, in disgust with admiral Cochrane in not attacking the French fleet, we are told, by two gentlemen who were in the West-Indies at the time, is incorrect, for that Sir Edward failed for England many days before admiral C. went in pursuit of them, owing to his bad state of health.
Domestic Intelligence.
FROM THE AURORA.
We repeat it, that there have been errors on both sides—the passions of men the most habitually sedate, have been excited to a degree that is to be lamented; and the conduct of men habitually irritable, has been beyond all former bounds intemperate. In this conflict of passions, men too cold in spirit and too little acquainted with human nature or the springs of human action, have been drawn to one or the other side, as the peculiar fitness of their faculties to receive the impressions that were directed against them, or as the influence of reason or intrigue found a passage to their minds.
We undertake to say, that the discontent and divisions which were so palpable in the last session of congress, were produced and carried to their extreme, through the artificial excitements and pre-arrangements, of a few desperate and indefatigable intriguers; that the scheme embraced views and designs of various kinds; that the intrigues about a president in 1805 and the discontent of last session had a common origin; and that the election of a president in 1808, has been thus early anticipated, and bro't to produce combinations and influences, in favor of that stupendous fraud, the Yazoo speculation.
In other words—there has been a tacit compromise of various interests of timeserving republicans with federalists; to produce certain acts of reciprocal favor; appointments to high stations and offices; and that even the acquittal of great criminals and the consequent dishonor and disgrace of the nation and its justice, have been brought about by this iniquitous co-operation.
We have before us an affidavit, the length of which, will preclude any present detailed animadversion, which contains in itself a revelation of intrigue, iniquity, prostration of official duty, & disreputable insult and dishonor to congress, that diminish, by comparison, the atrocious corruptions of the English parliament.
It may be recollected that at the last session of congress, a motion for enquiry was made into the conduct of the post master general.—A motion was circulated at that period that the enquiry was founded on matters exclusively relating to the editor of this paper—we did not think proper to notice the mistake, because although there was some matter of enquiry made in an official manner by a committee of congress, but on which the editor could afford no evidence that could be received in a court of law, there was some that would be convincing in a court of conscience.
The subject having been dismissed at the close of the session, in a manner that merits no present notice, the present occasion may be a proper one to develop the comprehensive schemes of intrigue which have been carried on, the effects of which are the discontent complained of by the public, and with the continuance and dangers of more numerous explosions from the same source the union is menaced.
The following affidavit is copied from the original, which the editor saw in the hands of a member of congress, (a member of the com-
mittee of enquiry)—and being an authentic act, delivered upon oath, will be appreciated accordingly:—
(COPY.)
I, Luther Loomis, of Suffield, Hartford county, and state of Connecticut, of lawful age, do testify and say, that some time in August, A. D. 1804, at Suffield, aforesaid, in company with the honorable Gideon Granger, post-master general of the U. S. he remarked that he wished to satisfy his republican friends, who as he understood, were not altogether satisfied with his public conduct; and in justification of his conduct, he went into a lengthy detailed account of various public transactions at the seat of government and other places, which took up the time of several hours. He said, that for a long time after he went to reside at Washington, all was tranquil with him. That he was treated with every respect and attention he could desire, both by the president, the heads of departments, and by the republican members of congress, until some difference arose between him and the honorable John Randolph, a member of congress, respecting a bill before congress relative to countervailing duties. He said it was true that the heads of departments generally, favoured the principles of that bill; that he knew Mr. Randolph was highly in favour of it, from being conversant with him on that subject, and that he himself had always been united with him in favour of the bill; and that he, the said Granger, continued in favour of the principles of that bill, until some time after his return to the seat of government, the then preceding year, or the year before; and until receiving an address from the chamber of commerce of the city of New-York, which was during the pendency of that bill before congress. That after receiving their address and entreaties desiring him to intercede for them, at the seat of government, to make influence against the bill being carried into a law, and being honoured with their address, together with their arguments against the bill, and being acquainted with some very respectable members of that body, he set about the work; first, by making overtures to the heads of departments, one after another, with favourable prospect of success, and then to Madison. And after communicating to him the agreement of the chamber of commerce, and making use of his own argument on that subject, Mr. Madison could not see sufficient grounds to alter his opinion; but if others were generally of opinion, that it was best to postpone the consideration of the bill, in that case although he was in favour of the bill, yet he should not advise to press it against the general opinion. The next place he went to the president, who made him, in substance, the same reply as Mr. Madison, adding that he hoped the bill could not eventually fail of success. That he next approached Mr. Randolph, whom he knew to be one of its warmest advocates, with the papers containing the arguments of the chamber of commerce in his hand; and after introducing the subject, he stated to Mr. Randolph, the substance of the arguments, and told him that many of the members of that board were from friends to our government—that if the bill was to be carried into a law, he feared it would tend to excite a ferment in the minds of many of the friends to the government; that the merchant's experience and judgment ought to have weight in the decision, and urged many other reasons for the postponement of its consideration—but all this without drawing from him (Randolph) any reply, other than "ah! ah!" or some words expressive of his contempt, for the said Mr. Randolph, left the room.—That he set about the business in good earnest to make influence with the members of congress to defeat the bill, and had the good success to quiet the minds of many of them, particularly the western members, with whom he was in great friendship, and who had been much in favour of the bill; and others who had been advocates for the bill agreed to be passive, or manage it in a way that would lead to its postponement or defeat; and said he finally succeeded in getting the bill postponed, which finally had put an end to it.
Thus, said Mr. Granger, I succeeded against the overbearing influence of said Randolph, in spite of all his influence: and from that time to the present he has been my bitter enemy. He further said the active part he took in favor of the Yazoo Claimants had heightened his bitterness against him: and drawn from him much invective and abuse. He further stated that he had been accused of exerting his influence to favour Burr's election in the state of New-York, yet after all the abuse, he said he had it in his power to prove himself clear; that under circumstances in which he was placed, no man could have done less than he did. And further more said, notwithstanding all that was done and said about him respecting his influencing the Burr party election in the state of New-York, so far from true, that he was the man that caused its defeat; which he effected by sending a confidential friend with communications to Dewitt Clinton of New-York, to give notice to him of Burr's plans and operations, which was the cause of its defeat; and that through his means he had the second time saved his country from a calamity, which otherwise would have been dreadful.
Mr. Granger acknowledged that he had been strongly pressed by certain gentlemen at Washington, the friends of Mr. Burr, to make use of his influence, (which they said was great, in many parts of that state) to favour the Burr party election; and said he totally declined it, and told them that he should take neutral ground; but at length he was hard pressed by certain gentlemen to whom he was under great obligations, 'till he had at length permitted one of them to make use of his name for that purpose (to favour Mr. Burr's election) under certain limitations, which he expressed in writing, and a copy of it was retained by him. All this he said was done lest he might exceed the bounds prescribed; that he was cautious to reduce it to writing, but did not express to me any part of its contents. He furthermore said, it was true he had written several letters on the subject of that election, to citizens of that state, but had been cautious not to implicate himself: and in particular, he mentioned one he had wrote to Elisha Granger of the Genesee country of that state, in which he stated that he had not altered his opinion respecting Aaron Burr, but many others here had altered theirs, and that he should not take an active part in that election; but still remarked that he was the man that prevented Burr's election. He furthermore said, that notwithstanding all the calumny and abuse, with which he had been treated, that he had saved his country from a third calamity by quieting the members of congress who had their minds blown up into a flame, in consequence of a joint manoeuvre in gaining a vote nominating Mr. Clinton for vice-president. He further stated, that there was among part of the members, another joint plan in operation at the same time, to nominate a candidate much younger (supposed to be Mr. Breckenridge) to fill that office, that would do for a president at a future election—but Clinton was too old a man; upon which he made the following remarks: That the seeds were sown, which after a long sleep, would spring up—be fore the second presidential election, from this

time: there would a fire break out in the northern states, another in the southern states, and another in the western states; that there would be great commotions in the state of Pennsylvania. Duane had been misled in regard to some publications against him; that on his return from the seat of government to this place he had called on Duane, and said for the future he would go right.
That he had also called on governor McKean and had a long interview with him, he would also go right. That all things were working well. The republican members to the north and westward would understand that they had been neglected in the nomination of the last vice-president. Elliot and other members had found billets lying on their table, threatening death if they did not vote right on certain questions. And furthermore, that all was working right. At the second election (1808) the scene will be unfolded. The interests of the northern and western members would not be sacrificed, and then he said, "By God I shall then triumph over the heads of these damned rascals." That he had succeeded in getting Nicholson, who was an able and influential member of congress, appointed to an office, which would draw him from congress; his weight will be out of the way—some others would soon be provided for; that they did not see the objects contemplated to be embraced by it; and that Randolph would certainly be run down, if he did not quit his seat, and that he would not be again appointed on the committee of ways and means.

The following article is from the Philadelphia Gazette, the semi-official organ of the late Spanish Ambassador; we yesterday furnished that the information came from Yrujo himself; it is now evident that we were not mistaken. Yrujo had promised his court to make governor McKean president of the U. States—had he succeeded what would have been the fate of America it is not difficult to conceive—under all circumstances it is pleasant to reflect upon:—
"His most Catholic majesty has renewed and continued the appointment of the marquis Yrujo, as minister to this country. This measure of the Spanish court can be considered in no other point of view than as a full and entire approbation of the conduct of the marquis towards this government; and as this conduct has been highly hostile to the administration, it will remain for Mr. Jefferson to meet, in a suitable manner, this indignity from a foreign court. The timid, wavering conduct of our chief magistrate, and his advisers, besides involving themselves in shame and difficulties, incurs on the national character the reproach and contumely of every foreign power with whom we have any connexion."

RICHMOND, 16th SEPTEMBER.
Bee iterum Crispinus.
The re-appointment of the Marquis de Casa Yrujo as minister of the court of Spain to this country, is only a new proof of the unfriendly dispositions of his government towards us. But what sentiments, far those of resentment and indignation, can we feel towards a cabinet, which after having promised to recall an obnoxious minister, has permitted him to remain so long a month; & has now re-invested him in the very post, from which it virtually promised to displace him?
Those who are acquainted with the history of this man's conduct, of his virtual displacement from his office, and of his subsequent intrigues, there can only be one question suggested; by this unparalleled re-appointment; and that question is, what are the rights accruing to ourselves from this state of things; what are the measures to be adopted by us in this delicate and disagreeable predicament?—All the circumstances, which constitute this history, are not yet laid before the public; and among the rest the correspondence between Mr. Cevallos and our minister at Madrid; but the following documents comprise (it is to be presumed) the substance of that correspondence, and a sufficient portion of the facts, for a correct decision to be formed upon this subject.
During the last winter, the Marquis Yrujo determined to visit Washington, in defiance of the intimation he had received, that his presence at the seat of government would be offensive to Mr. Jefferson. Within a few hours after this intimation had arrived there, he received the following very polite note from the secretary of state:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE.
January 15. 1808.
Sir,—In consequence of the just objections which your conduct had furnished against your continuance here, as the organ of communication on the part of his Catholic Majesty, it was signified at Madrid in the month of April last, through the mission of the United States there that the substitution of another was desired by the President.
In reply it was intimated by Mr. Cevallos, that as you had yourself expressed a wish with consideration and respect, your most obedient servant. (Signed) JAMES MADISON. The Marquis de Casa Yrujo.
To this note, Mr. Madison received two different answers; one, in which the Marquis Yrujo principally complained of the reasons which had been assigned by our government for his recall; the other, in which he complained of the violated dignity of his diplomatic character.
On the 12th of February, Mr. Adams presented a bill to the Senate of the United States, "To prevent the abuse of the privileges and immunities enjoyed by foreign ministers within the U. States," a bill, that was no doubt
suggested by this un-diplomatic conduct of the Marquis d'Yrujo. The second section of that bill was in the following words:
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That from and after the passage of this act, if any foreign minister, or other person entitled to enjoy within the U. States the privileges and immunities of a foreign minister, shall within the U. States or the territories thereof commit any act of hostility, or enter into any conspiracy against the government of the U. States or shall personally insult or treat with disrespect the President of the U. States for the time being, the said President shall be, and is hereby authorised at his discretion, to order the said ambassador, minister or other person to offend, to withdraw from the seat of government and the territory of Columbia, or to depart from the U. States and the territories thereof; and in case of refusal or neglect by such ambassador, minister or other person as aforesaid, to obey such order within a reasonable time, of which the said President shall judge, the said President shall be, and is hereby further authorised to send the said ambassador, minister or other person as aforesaid, home to his sovereign; and in either case to demand of the said sovereign, the punishment of such offending ambassador, minister, or other person as aforesaid, according to the nature and aggravation of the offence, & conformably to the law of nations.
This bill, however, was never carried. "It was disagreed to, under the impression (says the reporter) that full powers are to be found in the law of nations to meet the cases contemplated by the bill."
"It is worthy of remark, what an astonishing difference prevails between the interpretation of the law of nations as made by the Senate and by the Marquis Yrujo. The Marquis in his letter asserts, that an envoy extraordinary or minister Plenipotentiary "could receive no orders except from his sovereign." In other words, that he is completely exempted from the jurisdiction of the country where he resides. The Senate however support a very different doctrine. In laying down the provisions of this bill, which, they afterwards decided, were agreeable to the law of nations, they do not hesitate to assert that the privileges of foreign ministers may be abused; that there are several cases, in which they are subjected to the executive jurisdiction of the country where they reside; & that one of the powers of that executive consists in ordering them to "depart from the U. S. & the territories thereof." But "I constitute an exception to this rule, ex-laws the noble Marquis. I am an envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary." The Senate however is deaf to the expostulation. They draw no kind of distinction between that order of ministers and any others. Their bill equally applies to "any foreign ambassador, minister, or other person entitled to enjoy within the United States the privileges and immunities of a foreign minister." Neither does the law of nations recognise the distinction advanced by the noble Marquis. Vattel does not once notice it. And Martens expressly says that "whatever difference a rigorous attention to theory might make as to prerogatives &c. between negotiators and other ministers, in the practice, the same prerogatives are enjoyed by ambassadors of ceremony, perpetual embassies , and embassies in ordinary." But if the same prerogatives be common to them all, they consequently share the flame retrenchment of prerogative. In this latter clause, both according to the construction of the Senate and the prescriptions of the law of nations, is the necessity of departing the country, when the executive of that country may demand it. Such then is one of the prerogatives of our president over this most illustrious representative of Spain.
Was it then proper for the president to have exercised this prerogative? This is the precise question, which we proposed to discuss; and Mr. Madison's letter furnishes the following facts, to assist us in the decision:
Our government had desired the recall of the Marquis Yrujo. The cabinet of Madrid virtually promised to recall him; but anxious to save the feelings of its minister, proposed a new arrangement, by which his recall might wear the appearance of a voluntary return to his country.
In the spirit of conciliation, our government acquiesced in this new arrangement, and every moment expected that it would be carried into effect.
Sixteen months however had elapsed, without the least appearance of such an intention. It might have been inconvenient for the Marquis to have immediately left this country. This is true. Why should not his government then have suspended his diplomatic functions, and appointed his successor?
Within this interval, it was to have been hoped, that Yrujo would have attempted to repurchase the good will of our government towards him; but what has been the fact? He has added additional acts to the long list of diplomatic abuses; acts, which would have been of themselves a sufficient reason for demanding his recall:
He has "bearded our president" by his indecent visit to Washington: He has "seriously irritated" his court against us "by mischievous and un candid representations." Mr. T. M. Randolph's circular: His underhanded tamperings in the Miranda business are unworthy the representative of a dignified nation. He had not however left our country, agreeably to the promises of his court. His court had not recalled him. No successor had been appointed. It was therefore the inconvertible right of our government, to order him home. In not having done so, it had given the strongest possible proof, of its desire to save the feelings of Spain, and to preserve her friendship.
And what has Spain now done? She is said to have re-appointed this same recalled, obnoxious, and intriguing minister to the very same post, from which we had demanded his recall. Our objections to the Marquis d'Yrujo, were "merely personal." We pledged ourselves as to "a ready admission of his successor." When to! no successor at all is appointed, and the very same person is restored to his post.
It is a delicate case. It is one, on which we are perhaps incompetent to form an opinion. But our opinion at present is, that it is the privilege and that it is the duty of the President to ship off this troublesome foreigner, and to convince his court that much as we are disposed to cultivate their friendship, we can also retaliate their indignities.
THE ECONOMY OF KINGS AND REPUBLICS. It is the custom of Monarchies not only to confer the most exorbitant salaries upon kings and ministers; in other words, upon those, who may be presumed to have rendered some services to the state; but upon every branch and offshoot of the royal family. But it is the very principle of republics, as it is stated in the constitution of Virginia; "that no man, or set of men, are entitled to exclusive or separate emoluments or privileges from the community, but in consideration of public services;" the same principle too requiring that these emoluments and privileges should be confined within
the most moderate limits. Not to speak of the civil list of the English king; not to speak of the Prince of Wales, his enormous debts discharged from the public treasury, or the enormous annuity granted to his support; not to speak of the other branches of the royal family; a sufficient illustration of our principle is to be found in a late appropriation of the British parliament. It is curious to contrast these extravagant appropriations with the salary of our republican officers:
In Great Britain, The Duke of Gloucester, receives more than 60,000 lols. The Prince of Charlotte of Wales, more than 31,000 In the U. States, Our chief magistrate, receives only 25,000 dollars.
Thirty-one thousand dollars appropriated for supplying the infant daughter of the Prince of Wales with corals, gingerbread and rattles; a sum, greater by 6000 dollars than the stipulated salary of the chief magistrate of the union. Yet there is no man of impartiality, who will not admit, that we are at least as well governed, as the people of Great-Britain.
And by what title do these beings claim such an exorbitant portion of the means of life? Do they earn it by the sweat of their brow? No. Do they deserve it by some ingenious discovery? No. Is it the profit of their capital? No. Is it the reward of services, rendered to their country? No. For, what services have they rendered, but to extend the rage of luxury, dissipation and vice? By what right then do they batter upon the labour and wealth of the nation? What is the Duke of Gloucester to the unfortunate manufacturer, who is taxed to support his extravagance? "What is Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba?" Suppose only, that congress should appropriate several thousand dollars to the support of Mr. Jefferson's relatives, what indignation would it not excite in every American bosom! Yet such is almost the precise question, with respect to these "titularies of the grand dignitaries" of Great-Britain. And yet it is in this oppressed nation where the little fringe of royalty is thus magnificently supported, that the poor labourer is ground down to the bone by taxes; and every poor man with four children is a pauper.
This is the real spirit of monarchies. Their rulers must be distinguished from other men, not by their talents, not by their virtues, not even by their royal blood, but by the pomp and the dazle of riches. Deprive them of this magic of ostentation, and the delusion of monarchies would soon be over. We recollect an anecdote in point, that is related of some celebrated wit, perhaps Dr. Beattie—Never was there a more ingenious and striking pun: never was any play of words more distinguished by humour, or by the truth of the application. "Take from MAJESTY its externals, (said the wit (putting his fingers upon the first and last letters of the word) and what is it but a jest ?"
HINT—COMMUNICATED.
It is a FACT, that the patronage of the Post-Master-General of the United States embraces offices of various salaries, from 6000 dolls. a year, to 200 dolls.
It is a FACT, that the number of these offices, comprehending contractors for carrying the mail, &c. is not far short of 2000.
It is a FACT, that the amount of salary and the number of offices, is annually increasing from the opening of new post-roads, and the establishing of new post-offices.
It is a FACT, that the exclusive appointment to these offices, resides in the Post-Master-General; the President's sanction not being required thro' necessity or usage.
It is a FACT, that under a republican government no one individual ought to be intrusted with more power, than is consistent with the object for which it is conferred.
It is a FACT, that the establishment of one general post-office, is not a constitutional requisition; the constitution having simply invested congress with a right "to establish post-offices and post-roads;" of course leaving to their discretion the particular manner of exercising this power.
It is not then a FACT that the object to be obtained by the establishment of one general post-office would be as completely obtained by the establishment of one post-office in each state or in certain districts to be designated by law; the appointment of these offices being exclusively allotted to the President and the Senate; and the settlement of their respective accounts referred to the Treasury Department? Would not this method of organizing the post-office establishment be more conformable to the spirit of a republican government?
This hint is thrown out, only to encourage some enquiry into the subject. Whether the plan here alluded to, is the best that could be devised for removing the evils of the present post-office establishment, is a matter of extreme doubt even to the proposer. But it is no longer a doubt, that the evils of the present organization, are great; that they are yearly increasing; and that some reform ought, if possible, to be attempted.

The Latest Intelligence from Europe—by the arrival of the ship Sally Ann at Boston, London dates to the 26th July.
LONDON, July 24. Yesterday Parliament was prorogued by commission. This event was announced by the following address to both houses:
"My Lords and Gentlemen, His Majesty has commanded us to acquaint you that the state of the public business enables his majesty to close this session of Parliament."
"We are, at the same time, directed to express to you the great satisfaction which his majesty has derived from your unremitted zeal and diligence, and from that attention to the most important interests of his Empire, which has been so conspicuously manifested in all your proceedings."
"The measures which have been adopted for the permanent improvement of the various branches of our military system, your attention to combine these arrangements with the great object of public economy, & the regulations which you have established for the speedy and effectu-
al Audit of the Public Accounts, call for his majesty's particular acknowledgments. Gentlemen of the House of Commons.
"We have it in command from his majesty to thank you for the provision which you have made for the various exigencies of the public service, particularly by raising, within the year, so very large a proportion of the necessary supplies; a measure in itself highly advantageous, and which must create, both at home and abroad, the most favourable impression of our national resources, and of the spirit which animates the British people. You may be assured that the utmost attention shall be paid to the frugal administration of those supplies which you have so liberally granted."
"His Majesty is particularly sensible of the fresh proof he has received of your affectionate attachment to him, in the provision which you have made for enabling the younger branches of his Royal Family to meet the necessary expenses of their station."
"My Lords and Gentlemen, His Majesty being always anxious for the restoration of peace on just and honourable terms, is engaged in discussions with a view to the accomplishment of this most desirable end. Their success must depend on a corresponding disposition on the part of the Enemy; and in every event, his majesty looks with the fullest confidence to the continuance of that union & public spirit among all ranks of his people, which can alone give energy to War or security to Peace."
Then a commission for proroguing the Parliament was read. After which the Lord Chancellor said:
"My Lords and Gentlemen, By virtue of his Majesty's Commission under the Great Seal, to us and other Lords directed, and now read, we do, in his majesty's name, and in obedience to his commands, prorogue this Parliament to Thursday the 28th day of August next, to be then there holden: And this Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Thursday the 28th day of August next."
The Hamburg mails due on Wednesday and Sunday last, arrived this morning. Paris Journals to the 14th and Dutch Journals to the 19th have also been received.
The French are sending all their disposable force on the other side of the Alps, in the Neapolitan territory, or Dalmatia, evidently for the intended conquest of Sicily, and to extend the French power on the shore of the Adriatic.
A division of French troops has also filed off toward Leghorn, and every fortress in the States of the Church is occupied by them—a prelude to the downfall of both these sovereigns. Before the expiration of many weeks, we shall hear that the Pope and the Queen of Etruria have been deprived of their respective dignities, and condemned to pass the rest of their days in obscurity, upon a stinted and precarious bounty. The weaknets of both will be alike urged in justification of the act. Turin is already named for the future residence of the Pope.
Four new sovereigns are talked of in Germany, namely, the Electors of Baden, Hesse, Hesse-Darmstadt, and the Duke of Cleves (Prince Murat). Napoleon could not adopt a more effectual mode of completely annihilating what ever there is of national sentiment, feeling, and character in Germany, than by thus filtering down, and parceling into petty sovereignties, the whole of that once great and venerable empire.
The continuance of the French armies in Suabia and Bavaria has overwhelmed the inhabitants with misery. A scarcity, rapidly increasing to the magnitude of a famine, prevails in these countries; to alleviate which they have no other resource than a few scarce measures of corn sent from the bank of the Rhine, and occasionally doled out to them by order of their oppressor.
Expectations appear to have been entertained at Constantinople, that an English squadron would shortly make its appearance in the Dardanelles.
A similar report prevails in the North of Germany. Letters from Hamburg and Bremen mention it. As we to believe, then, that there was some truth in the report received from the American vessel off Oberbourg, a few days ago, of Bonaparte's intention to march an army thro' Asia for Egypt?
A private letter from Hamburg furnishes us with the following important article, in addition to this report of the American captain:
"The French are preparing, it is said to send an army of 60,000 men, in three divisions thro' Asiatic Turkey, to attack the British possessions in the East Indies."
Can it be any part of the object of the expedition now fitting out in our ports to counteract these designs?
The Russian squadron in the Mediterranean, consisting already of twelve sail of the line and nine frigates, is to be further augmented. This does not look as if a resolution was taken to abandon their settlements in the Seven Islands.
The letter of his Swedish Majesty, upon dissolving the Constitution of Pomerania, will be found among our extracts from the foreign papers. It is a fair, rational, and manly appeal to the good sense and feelings of the inhabitants of that part of his dominions.
The following is an extract from a private letter, dated Hamburg, July 11:
"All is as still here as before, and our merchants do not put much faith in the reports of peace, which come from your side of the water. The impossibility of finding any security that Hanover would not be shortly re-occupied by the French, supposing they would agree to give it back, and England would make any great sacrifices to obtain it, seems a great hindrance to the conclusion of any treaty which it can be thought like that Bonaparte would sign."

PROSSER and MUNCURE, v. trrs. September 16. ept.12N.
WHEREAS that portion of the funds, of the Mutual Assurance Society against fire on Buildings of the State of Virginia, which belongs to the Country, is inadequate to the payment of the losses by fire, which have actually occurred, and which are exclusively chargeable on the Country funds, whence has arisen the indispensable necessity, of calling for the payment of part of a quota, from the persons who have insured in the country, which requisition ought properly to be limited to those members who had insured prior to the happening of the great fire in Norfolk, on the 24th of February 1804, by which fire the joint-funds of the society were nearly exhausted. And whereas common principles of justice obviously require, that the part of a quota to be called for, should place all the members (new and old subscribers) of the country part of the said society on an equal footing, which can only be done by requiring from those who had insured before the said 24th of February 1804, such part of a quota or quotas, as being added to the amount of the country funds, at the date of the division of the joint funds between the towns & the country would make a sum equal, or nearly equal, to the aggregate of the premiums originally paid, by those who had insured anterior to the 24th of February 1804.
And whereas the Board of Directors of the said society, have accordingly deemed it necessary and just, in conformity to a statement and estimate prepared & to them submitted by the principal Agent, to demand from each member who had insured a building or buildings in the country, prior to the 24th day of February 1804, part of a quota or quotas, equal to two-thirds of a premium or premiums originally advanced by such member, to be paid on or before the 10th day of December next.
Do now therefore in pursuance of a resolution adopted by the said Board of Directors, hereby make known to all persons whom it may concern, that the said requisition of two thirds of a quota, on each building insured in the country as aforesaid, before the said 24th day of February 1804, to be paid on or before the 10th day of December next, hath been made for the causes aforesaid, by virtue of the authority vested in the President and Directors, by an act of the General Assembly, entitled, "an act for carrying into execution the constitution of the Mutual Assurance Society against fire on buildings of the state of Virginia, lately adopted at a general meeting;" and by the rules and regulations of the said society.—And I do hereby, in pursuance also of the resolution aforesaid, notify to all persons concerned, that every insured person who the said two-thirds of a quota shall be payable, under the foregoing requisition, will be forfeited, unless payment thereof, that is, of a sum equal to two-thirds of the premium mentioned in the policy, be made on or before the said 10th day of December next; and such insurance will remain forfeited, until the payment of two-thirds of a quota so withheld and interest thereon, shall afterwards be either voluntarily made, or enforced in the mode prescribed by law.

Now residing at the SWAN TAVERN, offers his services to the inhabitants of Richmond and its vicinity, in every branch of his profession, particularly in cleaning and restoring the Teeth to their natural elegance, without injuring their enamel; in transplanting real ones, so as to be permanent; and setting artificial ones with ivory, that will not change to an unnatural colour; in plugging those that are hollow, and reinitiating them with the gums that are much depreciated by cariousness, or corroding medicines, likewise extracts such as are too far gone to save, in which operations he makes use of BRUFF'S PATENT PERPENDICULAR EXTRACTING INSTRUMENTS,
Which take the Teeth out without any possibility of fracturing the bone or bruising the gums, and with much less pain than with any other instrument hitherto invented.
To know if your teeth want cleaning, examine them before a glass in a clear light, beginning at the two middle front teeth of the lower jaw: if the gums are departing from their former place, or a black, or yellow crust adhering to the Teeth, you have cause of alarm; as that corrosive substance called tartar, will cause an offensive breath, decay the teeth, produce fursey, or consume the gums, and hony process, till the teeth drop out. The demand which he has had for his dentistry has induced him to prepare a quantity, which is of superior quality, and for sale. Any person wishing to be waited on at their residence, will please send a line or servant to the house aforesaid. Those who wish for his assistance, will please make an early application as his stay in Richmond will be but a few weeks—he intends, however, visiting it once every session.

Miscellaneous.
FROM A LATE LONDON PAPER.
STATE OF THE NATION.
Scarcely had the new ministers entered into office, than a work was published, stated to be an enquiry into the State of the Nation ; a work which in strict conformity with the politics which the Foxites have adopted since they came into power, draws the most gloomy picture of our situation and resources. To depreciate the measures of that administration, and of that minister, whose death his successors are affording us daily more and more reason to lament, and to exalt the talents and characters of the present ministers, is the great object of the work alluded to. How well it has succeeded in accomplishing that object, may be seen in the rapidly declining popularity of the ministers, whom it has so lavishly eulogized, and in the increasing regret of all ranks of people for the loss of that man against whom it so copiously inveighs.
To that work a most victorious reply has just issued from the press—strong in point of reasoning, conclusive in point of effect—elegant in its style, and temperate in its manner, but not purchasing the praise of temperance by the sacrifice of firmness. We recommend it to the attentive perusal of our readers, and we shall take frequent opportunities of making quotations from it. The following extract is from the introduction. It draws a strong and just character of the pamphlet to which we have alluded.
"In an enquiry into the state of this rich and powerful nation, it is singular that, except the character of our present ministry, there should not be discovered a single favorable circumstance in our situation—no cheering ray to diversify a picture of the most gloomy coloring. A melancholy note is struck at the beginning, and the doleful cadence continues to the end. The state of our public funds has entirely escaped the notice of this impartial writer. Our naval victories, although only a few months ago, appear to have fled from his recollection. Perhaps he is prepared to argue, that flourishing finances, and unparalleled naval triumphs have no connection with our foreign relations, or with the state of the country."
"Let us examine, in the first instance, the plan of the work before us, and how far its substance fulfills its title. The author confines himself almost entirely to foreign relations, and divides them into the following heads:
 "1. The late continental alliance.  "2. The consequence of our late foreign policy.  "3. The state of foreign affairs, independent of our late coalition and its consequences. Under this head the author discusses the origin of our war with Spain, and the neutral questions." 
"It is apparent from this outline, that the work under review is only nominally an Enquiry into the State of the Nation . In reality, it is an exposition of every unfavorable circumstance in the state of our relations with foreign powers. In other words, it is a most gloomy catalogue of the misfortunes under which the right honorable secretary for the foreign department is deformed that the public should believe that he entered upon office. It concludes with lauding the most profuse encomiums on the talents, experience, rank and integrity of the right honorable secretary and his friends."
"Before proceeding upon an examination of the work, it is natural to inquire in what light Lord Grenville views its publication. We believe it is without example in the history of those constitutional parties which have divided the attachments of our countrymen, that a minister should lend his sanction to a pamphlet replete with the most bitter censure of his colleagues—a colleague who is not only a distinguished member of the cabinet, but the head of the administration. The allusions to the former conduct of the noble lord, are direct—the condemnation they convey is unqualified. The author dwells on the 'high, unbending, unaccommodating tone which we have been accustomed to hold all over the world.' Now, lords Hawkesbury, Harrowby, and Mulgrave, the successors of Lord Grenville in office, have never been accused of giving offence to foreign courts by haughty or unbending conduct. The reprobation so pointedly expressed in the inquiry, is applicable, therefore, in a particular manner, to Lord Grenville. Indeed the author leaves us in no doubt in this respect. I shall quote his own words:—'To have looked forward beyond the next year; to have taken measures in silence for the slow preparation of dissonant events; to have gradually disposed of the minds of a people in our favor by kind treatment, for which no immediate return was expected, or won them by any other means than a manifesto from a commander, at the head of a naval force; to have laid plans of war before hand, which should not for some time burst into view with glare and noise. All this would have indicated a strange, unaccountable deviation from the system which has been unreservedly at work since the treaty of Pilnitz,' & by day and by night, during war and during truce, in aggrandizing the proud, and crushing the humble."
"These expressions required no comment. Mr. Fox and Lord Grenville are the acknowledged leaders of the cabinet, and I leave the reader to judge of the prudence of the minister who can give circulation to such unqualified accusations of the former conduct of his colleague."
"The author enters into an able justification of the late ministers, with respect to the late war—Speaking of any peace to be concluded with France, the author makes the following excellent remarks:
"Unquestionably every enlightened and liberal mind, capable of appreciating the real causes of the prosperity of nations, will pronounce, that by a force peace the interests of this country, will be more effectually promoted, and its welfare more radically and permanently established, than by the most successful war: and if Mr. Fox succeeds in negotiating a peace honorable to us and safe for the continent, he will deserve, not only the thanks of the country, but the forgiveness of all its inconstancies."
"Of such a peace, however, we have no flattering prospect. To act a condescending part in negotiation with so arrogant an enemy as Bonaparte, is to insure a renewal of hostility. Let it never be forgotten, that the treaty of Amiens, of which the chief recommendation was its having been made 'in the spirit of peace,' kept us, during the short interval of its duration, in a state of alarm worse than war. In any negotiation with Bonaparte, let Mr. Fox, remember, that he is treating with the most false and artful of men, with one who combines the most subtle mind with the most perfidious heart. He alternately oppresses by open violence, seduces by secret fraud, or assassination in midnight obscurity."
"Ile venena. Coleicida et quicquid ufum concipit nefs, Trae irois. "
"His system is to crush the weak, and beguile the powerful—to frighten the timid, and cajole the brave. The sword is the favorite engine of his government, and it is congenial to the turbulence of his temper. But he combines in his administration every species of support to himself, and of danger to his enemies. By the employment of enlightened men like Talleyrand, he makes even philosophy administer her sacred aid to his lawless violence. He has reduced falsehood into a system, and adapts his lies with wonderful facility, to whatever character he addresses. He prevailed on the cabinet of Vienna to acquiesce in his usurpations in Italy, by pretending that they were necessary to enable him to re-establish with security, hereditary monarchy in France. With equal truth, he will endeavour to persuade Mr. Fox
"Such were his expressions in the first edition of this work; but the author thought proper subsequently to obliterate the words 'just the treaty of Pilnitz.' Was Lord Grenville entitled by the pointed censure of his conduct, which must have spread abroad by his colleagues in office; did Mr. Fox and his friends think him the just indignation they had gained, and attempt to eat their words? But was this mere wind, waving of so pointed an allusion a sufficient reparation?—A candid and unprejudiced reader will see that the author's omission of these few words in any degree altered the directness of the censure."
that he desires peace for the sake of alleviating the sufferings of mankind; that he has always admired pacific sentiments; that he has no wish to abridge the power of Britain, but that he is desirous to cultivate with her the most amicable relations, and to forget the evils of war in the innocent emulation of commercial rivalry.
FROM THE NORFOLK HERALD.
THOMAS MOORE'S
Epistles, Odes, &c.
(A NEW PUBLICATION)
Are now falling at Messrs. Jordan's.
The good people of Virginia may remember that some time since this little Cock Sparrow of a longler came hopping across the Atlantic to sing his amours in the wilds of America. As we had seen nothing of the kind to chirrup and so light, he was much noticed and admired, and every one was delighted to hear the little bird chirrup his Greek—he could make rhymes on any and every little thing—a Nose, an Eye, a Cheek, a Curl, a Lip, the tip of an Ear, a little Fly, a Flea, or a Knap's Toe. Nail enchanted him—he looked like a being born in a jelly glass, handed round on a cake, fed on sugar plums, and educated among the dreams of fancy—the little spirit could hide himself under a lady's eye-lash and expire with delight—in his Odes he gets into a million of scrapes, jumps from a tendril, hides in a curl, flits from a lip, perches on a bosom, tumbles from a tucker, gets on the edge of many a precipice without falling over, & to the mouths of dreadful caverns without tumbling in—always singing, fishing and evaporating—one would think he had a thousand souls charged from his electric fancy, each ready to fly without any other contact than the atmosphere only of a Dulcinea.
AMERICA, it seems, afforded this pretty fellow many of these whimsical delights, and he had many opportunities of doing inexpressibly at Bermuda; but the little ingrate no sooner gets home than he begins to abuse us—in a Note to his Poems he says, "The women of Bermuda are not generally handsome, but they have an affectionate languor in their look which is interesting—they have a predisposition to loving, which, without being awakened by any particular object, diffuses itself through the general manner in a tone that never fails to fascinate. The men of the island are not very civilized, and the old philosophers, who imagined that after this life, men would be changed into Mules, and women into Turle Doves, would find the metamorphosis in some degree anticipated at Bermuda!" Of William and Mary College , that has produced so many men great in science particularly in politics and oratory, he says, "This College gave me but a melancholy idea of republican feats of learning. The contempt for the elegancies of education is no where more grossly contemptuous than in Virginia. The levelling system is applied to education, and has all the effect which its partisans could desire, by producing a most extensive equality of ignorance." He then in allusion to the dinner, ranks at the morals too of the place—Of poor Norfolk , which is the threshold over which all travellers stumble, he says—
"Norfolk it must be owned, is an unfortunate specimen of America. The characteristics of Virginia in general are not such as can delight either the politician or the moralist, and at Norfolk they are exhibited in their least attractive form. At the time that we arrived, the yellow fever had not then disappeared, and every odour that affixed us in the streets very strongly accounted for its visitation. It is in truth a most disagreeable place, and the best the Journalist or Geographer can say of it, is, that it abounds in Dogs, in Negroes, and in Democrats. If there is no truth in these remarks of Moore, we ought to pity him in stead of being angry with him—for he was so near to the ground that every odour assailed him with double effect, and he had such microscopic eyes, that he could see worms in the fairest face; but he could neither see any thing large or write on any subject that required a capacious mental survey—he used to ask where were our Poets—had we any? We had scarce a longer among us!—He was afraid to look at that terrible Trumpet!—but his "Sword trenchant," & Dwight's Ode Voice was too strong to whisper immunities to the flaxen ear locks of ideal beauty.—Barlow would have rolled him in one corner of Manco Capac's white robe; to screen his frail form from the warring winds of the Andes, and Humphrey's shell would have sent him sailing adrift in a little toy ship to fling longings to the fishes in the waters of his western world—but all these adventures, Moore, from the peculiar structure of his eyes, happily avoided, and he is still hastily flying from lip to lip with his wings all dripping from the honey pot of Anacreon, and his bill full of sweet meats for the pretty Cookoo's of Poetry."

FROM THE BALANCE.
A NEW CASE IN SURGERY.
MR. CROSWELL,
The singularity of the following case induces me to offer it for publication.
Mr. GEORGE MACY, a worthy citizen of this place, after suffering the most excruciating tortures, from inflammatory rheumatism, which seemed to pervade the whole system, the head and breast not excepted, for twenty days; at the expiration of which, when to all appearance near his exit, an interstitial crisis formed, and was followed by a species of insanity which favored a determination to take his life; for this purpose, he artfully procured a large-sized tea-spoon, and impracticable as it may appear, pushed it down his throat, while his attendant was gone to the opposite side of the room by his request. The struggle was violent, and he nearly expired in the attempt; but at last crowded it so far as to fall into the stomach before assistance could be called. In this deplorable situation I was immediately requested to visit him. As every rational probability of removing the spoon from the stomach, by emetics or otherwise, would have proved abortive beyond doubt, I waited the efforts of nature, assisting her with a variety of oily and mucilaginous substances. About thirty-six hours after, he was exercised with severe spasms, (when the spoon probably passed from the stomach into the intestines), after which, his fever formed a more perfect crisis, and he continued to gain health and strength for about twenty days; when a catting sensation led to a discovery of its situation, in one of the circumvolutions of the small intestine called ileum, in the right and lower part of the abdomen. Unable to make the short turnings and windings of this part of the passage, it remained in a fixed position for twelve days, with considerable irritation about the parts, and frequent spasmodic contractions.
Believing that any further delay would endanger the passage of the spoon from the intestines into the cavity of the abdomen, unless removed, I, with the assistance of Doctor Talman, proceeded to the operation, as the dernier resort. As a more minute account will probably be given in the Medical Repository, suffice it to say, that the incision was made a little below a transverse line with the top of the hip, the intestine divided and secured, after the extraction of the spoon, with the glover's stitch.
Mr. M. abhorring the principle, tho' deranged at the time that he made the above attempt, and regretting his deviation from the line of moral rectitude, for which he suffered the operation with great fortitude without being held. He has now recovered beyond all probable danger from the operation.

WILLIAM & MARY COLLEGE,
AUGUST, 1806.
IT is hereby made known to the public, that there will be established in College a plain, but decent institution against loss. The board will commence on the 3rd Monday in October, the period fixed for opening the lectures in the philosophical and mathematical schools.
It is also noticed, that all junior students will be compelled to lodge in College, to board at the public table, to devote certain stated hours to study, to appear at the calling of roll at 8 o'clock in the evening, during the winter term, and at 9, during that of the summer, to continue in their rooms, after they have retired from the roll, till the next morning, and to observe other regulations, which cannot fail to be highly beneficial to youth.
The object of these arrangements is, not only to diminish the expense of a student at this College, but to guard, as effectually as can be done, against dissipation and idleness. For this latter purpose, a system, more restrictive than that hitherto adopted, will be readily pursued. Parents and Guardians who witness the increased tendency to those evils, against which the College holds itself bound to oppose every barrier within its power, will not hesitate to approve of those means, which may be deemed necessary for so salutary a purpose. But, a silent approbation is not sufficient. Their conversation is also essential. They are, therefore, earnestly requested to take care, that their sons, or wards, shall be compelled to observe a prudent and wise economy. It is a maxim, not to be forgotten, that the improvement of youth will generally be inversely as their expense; nor is it less true, that their expenditures will be in proportion to the temptations, which a misapplied liberality must excite. Let them no money be furnished beyond a moderate sum; and let no credit be allowed, except for specified articles, and to a specified amount. This advice to Parents and Guardians, will, it is hoped, be duly appreciated, and departed from in no instance. It is impossible, that the wisest system of education can give to youth those inestimable benefits, which might otherwise be derived, if Parents and Guardians do not frequently, and zealously compel obedience to that economy, which is here so earnestly recommended; and, that every one may know what may be considered as the necessary expenditure of a student, at this College, it is stated, that
The board, for the course, will not exceed dols. 100 Fees to two professors, 30 Candles, fuel and washing, 35 Pocket money, not to exceed 40 205
