PESTALOZZI.
IT is with pride we perceive an increasing attention paid to the instruction of youth throughout the wide extent of the United States. Colleges, Academies, and Schools are every day and every where becoming more numerous. Although much good will flow from the multiplication of these institutions, still more may be expected from improving the mode than from increasing the places of instruction. There is no one, who has seriously devoted his thoughts to this subject, but must lament the imperfections of our existing systems of education. This subject has long engaged the attention of men of benevolent and enlarged minds on this as well as the other side of the Atlantic. Among others it appears to have engaged the thoughts of M. Pestalozzi, a native of Zurich, who, after successive efforts, attended with various success, has at length established at Berthoud, a town within a few leagues of Bern, a Seminary, conducted on the principles, and with a success, which form a new era in the annals of education. For a knowledge of the existing situation of this Seminary, of the estimation in which it is held, of the plan on which it is conducted, and its effects on the young mind, we are indebted to a friend at Paris,* who has for several years past employed much of the leisure he enjoys in advancing the general interests of useful knowledge, and in transferring its benefits to the United States, of which he had previously been an inhabitant for many years, and in which he acquired an ample fortune, to which he is indebted for his leisure and many of his other means of acquiring and extending information. Having read the works of Pestalozzi, and his disciples, his curiosity was so far awakened as to lead him to Berthoud; where, from a very minute investigation, he became convinced of the superior excellence of Pestalozzi's system. Anxious to extend its benefits to the United States, he has engaged one of his professors, Mr. Neef, to establish a Seminary in this country, undertaking himself to pay all the expenses attending his removal, and insuring him a salary of at least five hundred dollars a year. Under these auspices, Mr. Neef has embarked for Philadelphia, where, it is probable, his institute will be opened. Mr. Neef is said to be a good mathematician, and perfectly to understand French, German, Italian and Latin. He reads English, but does not speak it.
Those who feel an interest in this subject (and what enlarged mind does not?) will look with solicitude to every progressive step taken in the establishment of this institution in this country. To exhibit the claims it has on the general patronage, by demonstrating the inappreciable advantages that may be derived from its successful establishment in this country, we will proceed to lay before our readers, in the first place, a few extracts from the letters we have received, and then submit to them some extracts from a tract, written by Dr. Chavannes, laying down "The Elementary Method of De H. Pestalozzi, accompanied by an account of the labors of that celebrated man, of his institute, and of his principal coadjutors." We will merely previously premise, that the great and characteristic principle of the system of Pestalozzi, is to bring his instructions down to a level with the understanding of the pupil, to convey them in the most clear and perspicuous manner, to ensure which effects he has adopted the mode which will be described. Another distinguishing trait in which he differs from every other teacher, is to retard, rather than hasten the progress of his pupil, never presenting an idea he cannot fully comprehend, and never allowing him to leave it until considered in all its various relations and aspects. We have to regret our inability, without the aid of plates, to give an adequate idea of, perhaps, the most interesting as well as original and profound part of the work, on the relations of numbers and forms. We shall only attempt a general notice of this section, which will do little more than excite the curiosity of the reader.
*William Maclure.
EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS.
"AS I have lately been examining a new mode of instructing the human species in their infancy before prejudices have taken root, or sounds have been substituted for sense, I take the liberty of sending you a short description of the method employed by M. Pestalozzi to teach children from the years of 5 to 12; and wish you to give
it a fair and impartial examination, and your support if you approve of it. During a ramble last summer through Switzerland, I had opportunities of observing Pestalozzi's practice, and the results produced from his method; and was much astonished at the progress made by his pupils. They acquire a correct idea of space, proportion and numbers, with a great facility and conception, rapidity of combination, and exactness of execution, and at the same time two modern languages. Not a sound is taught them without at the same time the substance being likewise conveyed: all the ideas they acquire are logically arranged, the results of correct though simple analysis. The mode of instruction is equally new. They are all taught at the same time the same thing, and seem to delight in their studies. A spirit of enthusiasm and energy pervades the whole body. Upwards of 80 children are kept in perfect order, without the principle of fear having any influence on their conduct. This system has many enemies in Europe. Knowledge as well as property is monopolized; and the equalization of one is as much dreaded as the division of the other. Convinced that no permanent progress can be made towards the happiness of the human species, until the whole mass are sufficiently informed of their true interests, I am induced to think that schools and not colleges are the means to be employed. Colleges are in knowledge what monopolies are in commerce—only increasing the inequality by giving more to those who already have more than their share.
"Pestalozzi has published more in full (but it is in German) his Manual for Mothers. It is probable I shall get it translated, as I think it contains excellent ideas."
"Some time ago I took the liberty of handing you a sketch of Pestalozzi's method of teaching children. As it is one of the few things worthy of imitation on this side of the Atlantic. I hope you have received it, and that you have given it an impartial examination, so as to judge of the rationality of the theory. The practice I had occasion last summer in Switzerland of investigating at sundry schools, in one of which there were 90 boys, and it appeared to me to have succeeded completely—by inspiring the children with such an ardent desire for information, as to render the motive of fear unnecessary—by associating the knowledge of things with the words that represent them, sense and sound were fixed and inseparable—by directing their attention to the certain and useful in an order graduated to the scale of their comprehension, the images of the mind were drawn forth by progressive combination, botanized by previous knowledge proceeding from the known to the unknown."
"In a subsequent extract it is stated, that the method of Pestalozzi may be fully acquired in a year by any one accustomed to teach children; that the boys teach one another, and that their knowledge is so perfect, that one can bring up all the others to the same point."
"The plan occupies the time between the age of 5 and 10 years, a period in which children scarce make any progress under the old system; in that time Pestalozzi teaches them two languages, to read, write, arithmetic, geography, drawing, and a knowledge of the nature and most of the properties of things around them, with a justness of eye in regard to dimension and distance, and an exactness of hand in execution, which facilitates the acquiring of all the arts."
Extracts from an account of the new system of education of Pestalozzi.
"Pestalozzi has given the name of "method" to the new system of education of which he is the author, and which he labors to improve with a zeal which promises to ensure its success.
"The end which he proposes to himself is to develop in the infant, that principle of perfectibility which is inherent in human nature, and which only needs cultivation to acquire even in the earliest age a degree of strength which can scarcely be conceived. He wishes to profit by the first years of infancy, hitherto so neglected, and to induce mothers in the midst of their daily occupations to become the first instructors of their children, and even in the cradle to open their understandings to just conceptions, by directing the attention to proper objects, and furnishing the memory with clear and intelligible ideas. By these means he proposes to supply that deficiency which has hitherto been found in every system of education, either public or private; or in other words, he wishes before commencing any system of instruction, to prepare his pupil to be instructed.
"The basis of his elementary instruction is intuition, which he regards as the general foundation of knowledge, & the most proper means of unfolding the powers of the human mind in the most natural manner. He seeks to convey instruction rather thro' the eyes than the ears; a system we must not confound with that found in the elementary books which every day appear under new forms, and in which authors undertake to give by plates, accompanied with definitions, explanations absolutely beyond the understandings of those for whom they are designed. Pestalozzi wishes the progress of instruction to be always proportionate to the intellectual powers of his pupil; he commences with the most simple and intelligible ideas, and his fundamental principle consists in at first choosing the most easy and familiar object, and in giving the child the most perfect knowledge of it before he presents a new idea; and by regular and progressive steps presenting new facts, only after the youthful mind has perfectly comprehended those already received. When a new idea is presented, it naturally arises from that already inculcated, and pairs are taken that the knowledge of the thing should always be connected with the true acceptance of the word which is meant to designate it.
"A child, thus educated, will perhaps not appear to advantage, when compared to one taught in the common manner; he will not be able to repeat so many phrases from memory, or to talk on so many subjects; but whatever he does speak about he fully comprehends. This habit acquired in infancy, will be found of the greatest advantage in all his future studies; and any one employed in the education of children, will be attested at the substantial superiority which the pupil acquires by this habit, over one who is taught in the common rapid and superficial manner.
"This, and this most particularly is the end which Pestalozzi proposes to himself and which he believes he has attained. So short a time as yet has elapsed since his ideas have been put in practice, that we cannot judge a posteriori of his system except in his institute; but the most favourable presumption may be entertained in respect to the fidelity of its principles, and of the happy effects it will have on future generations. If we form our judgment from the official report presented to the Helvetic government in 1802, by men deserving of the highest confidence, from the opinion of a great number of learned men who on their visits to Berthoud, have been astonished at the surprising results they witnessed; and by the general interest, which the first experiments, and the first works of this extraordinary man have excited throughout Germany.
"I propose giving to my readers an account of this new system, which has been so far traced as to enable us to form, tho' not a complete, yet an adequate idea of it, in order to appreciate its utility.
"The frequent visits I have made to Berthoud; the attention with which I have examined this establishment, to which no parent can be indifferent, the full confidence with which I have placed my son under the care of Pestalozzi, together induce me to hope, however imperfect this tract may otherwise be, that it will at least not be devoid of interest, particularly for my fellow citizens of the Canton de Vaud, at a period when a branch of this institute has just been fixed among them.
"I shall first give some account of Pestalozzi; 2dly, of his system in general; 3dly, of some of its different branches, and shall terminate by some details concerning the existing state of the institute.
LONDON April 21. OF SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.
The letters brought by the Lisbon mail were delivered this morning. A general apprehension appears to prevail in Portugal that some attempt against the independence of that country will be made by Spain. The emperor of the French it was reported, had determined to annex part of the Spanish territory to his dominions, for the loss of which Spain is to be indemnified by the acquisition of a considerable part, if not the whole of Portugal. The Spanish provinces which Bonaparte is desirous of obtaining, are those of Biscay and Galicia, within which are comprised the ports of Bilboa, St. Sebastian, Ferrol, Corunna and Vigo. When the packet left Lisbon, Spanish troops were expected there, and it was reported that all these ports were shut against neutrals. The Portuguese government was to be transferred to Brazils.
That Bonaparte should be anxious to possess the whole of the territories which skirt the bay of Biscay, is natural enough, and fatal as such an arrangement may prove to Spain, we fear that is neither energy nor disposition in her government to resist it. We are sure that if the bay of Biscay and Galicia are surrendered to France the Spanish monarchy will not out live their formal occupation half a year; or if it should the authority of the king will not be greater in his capital, than that actually enjoyed by the Pope at Rome.
NEW-YORK, June 4.
Captain Pratt from St. Thomas, informs us that four French frigates had arrived at St. Johns, Porto Rico, which place they had taken possession of, and hoisted the French flag upon all the forts.
The French privateer schooner La Creole, of six guns and seventy six men, which in the month of November last captured off Charleston bar, the British ship Esther, bound from that port for Liverpool, and whose crew behaved with such unparalleled barbarity to the unfortunate men belonging to that ship after they had surrendered was captured on the 21st of April off Tortugas, by the British brig Reindeer, of 18 guns, and carried into Port Royal, Jamaica, on the 25th.
We learn from Jamaica papers which we have received to the 10th of May, that the ship Leander, captain Lewis, with two schooners, her tenders, from Jaquemel, having on board general Miranda, 28 staff officers, and about two hundred and seventy men, touched at Aruba on the tenth of April, and sailed on the 16th for Caraccas, accompanied by the schooner Echo, of Kingston. It is stated that general Miranda was provided with the insignia of the ancient Peruvians, (a sun and highly marked rainbow) brilliantly displayed on his standards, and expected to find a strong party to join him in the scheme of revolutionizing the South American colonies.
June 5.
TOO IMPORTANT.
The following extract of a letter from captain Dawson, of the ship Olive, dated La Guira, May 4, confirms the news of the capture of general Miranda's two schooners, and gives other particulars not heretofore received; and which coming from a respectable source, we are inclined to believe is correct. The letter was received yesterday by the schooner William, in 10 days from St. Thomas.
The Extract.
"General Miranda has made a great deal of noise at this place. A few days ago a man of war brig and schooner was sent in pursuit of them. The day after they left this place, they fell in with the Leander and two schooners, and, after a short action, they captured the schooners. The Leander made sail and got off. The schooners have arrived at Porto Cavello. Young Smith is on board one of the schooners, he, and eight of the principal officers, are ordered up to Carraccas."
"The Olive was to sail for New York in ten days after the date of capt. Dawson's letter, and may be hourly expected.
PHILADELPHIA, June 6.
Arrived, captain Thurston, of the Experiment, from St. Jago de Cuba, later, May 11, the brig Superior, Decatur, for Philadelphia, to sail in 10 days; brig Sea Nymph, do. do.; schooner Nancy, Grafton, do. do. Sailed from the Mona, in co. with the brig Jefferson, Lewis, for Philadelphia. Spoke going into the Moro, the schooner Serpent, Hawley, from Philadelphia for New Orleans, captured off Tortugas, by a French privateer. May 17, was boarded by two English barges and run me to leeward for ship; after some detention, and pressing one of our men, allowed me to proceed. May 20, Cape May, bearing NNW, spoke brig Columbia, M'Cobb, from Alexandria for Jamaica, who informed of being boarded the day previous by a French privateer, off Tortugas, and plundered of all his provisions. The same day spoke the brig Polly, Bigby, from Edinborough, (N. C.) bound to Jamaica, out 10 days. June 1, lat. 37, 30, N. in 20 fathoms water, spoke ship governor Galt, Cady, from Amsterdam, bound to Cape Point, out 41 days.
BALTIMORE, June 7.
Arrived, Schooner Eliza Vickery, Vickery, 12 days from Havana. Left there, the last ultimo, schooner Repeater, Graves, for Baltimore, in 12 days; brig Ceres, Smith, for Philadelphia, in 8 days. Sailed in co. with Eliza and Katy, and Eliza Tift, and Sloop Menera, all for Philadelphia. To the windward of Havana, spoke the British government vessel Haddock, that had captured a Spanish felucca bound to Vera Cruz, and a Spanish privateer that had committed great depredations on American vessels.
Also, Schooner Henry, Thornton, 17 days from Cape Francois. Left there, 21st ultimo, sch'r Victory, of Baltimore, uncertain; Mary Ann, of New York, to sail the same day; brig Bacchus, for Philadelphia, in 2 days; brig Rising Sun, do. in 12 days; and others before reported when to sail. One of the ships before is the Cora, from Leghorn; one the Sally, from Amsterdam; two others unknown. About a fortnight before the Henry left there was a general massacre of all the remain-

whites that could be found in the island. This was occasioned by a few having been discovered making their escape. It was supposed that not less than 120 men, women and children, fell at the Cape.
FRANKFORD, (Kent.) May 18. Extract of a letter to the editor, dated at St. Louis, April 25, 1806.
Dear Sir, "All the troops except one company, marched from here in the course of six days for Fort A. Hams, and Natchitoches. The Indians have been threatening us all winter—I expect they will get to be very troublesome now the troops are going." "Lieut. Hughs has returned some days from the Mississippi, with all the Ojibwa prisoners... They took him one hundred dollars each as a ransom. They consisted principally of women and children. Two of the nation were waiting here all winter. An old fellow among them, who suspected his wife of some gallantries, on her arrival here, cut her ears crosswise, and cut her hair off."
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. MONDAY, JUNE 9.
Captain Manton, arrived at Boston from Marseilles, in lat. 42, long 64, was boarded from the Leander, captain Whitby, and treated with great politeness. Captain Whitby shewed him the President's late proclamation, and expressed his regret at the unfortunate occasion of it and said the accident was wholly unintentional, &c.
Late letters from London, state, that in consequence of the severe measures which France has adopted to prevent the importation in neutral, as well as other bottoms, of English goods in the north as well as south of Europe, it was conjectured the new British administration would be necessitated, from self-preservation, to declare every port, from Venice, in the Adriatic, to Hamburg, &c. in a state of blockade; to cover the seas with cruisers, and to take measures to prevent the supply of a single pound of coffee, sugar, cotton, &c. to any of the dominions under the power and influence of France. This measure, it is said, will be very rigidly executed; and will unquestionably be justified by those who justify the French measure. Mr. Munroe had been officially notified of the blockade of the Ems, Weser, Elbe and Trave. A great number of neutral vessels, bound to and from the ports under the French rule, among which are twenty-six Americans, have recently been sent into England. Some of whom, however, had been released.
We have seen letters from London, of a late date, which say, that the differences which have subsisted between the United States and Great Britain, are rapidly approaching to a happy conclusion; many of the points in dispute have been fully discussed and settled; among others, it was presumed, that the American flag would be suffered to protect its seamen, let them be of what country soever. This is important point, as well as some others which relate to our commerce with the colonies of G. Britain, it was expected would form the basis of a commercial treaty between the two countries. (Boston Gaz.)
It may appear curious to some (to the writer of this it never did) to notice the glaring inconsistencies of the Jacobin editors. To oppose Great Britain, they espouse the cause of any other nation, let its object be ever so ambitious, or injurious to the liberties and the peace of the rest of the world.
It is but the other day that "Mr. Pitt had been the greatest monster that ever lived;" and in a great measure, forsooth, because that pure patriot, C. Fox, had been his opponent! This "man of the people," however, had no sooner got to be seated in the same chair of the deceased, and denounced statesman, even before a single public act of his new administration was known, than the consistent (patriot also) Duane expressed his doubts of the principles and conduct his quondam friend would pursue!
Is it asked why this is so? The answer is plain. Our pure, imported American, knew well enough that a Jacobin patriot, when in power and influence, became a different kind of creature; that the scenes of Copenhagen house would not again be instigated and patronized by that quondam man of the people. Already we see this arch, cunning Fox, hunted by the immaculate Duane. Because the British administration, Fox at the head, have dared to resist the encroachments of Prussia, the insidious ally of France, we see it asserted in a late Aurora, that "The new ministry, actuated by folly, as extravagant as the
old, has declared war against Prussia." Further comment is superfluous! [New-York Gazette.]
The imbecility, indecisiveness, and partiality of an administration, by making the government contemptible in the eyes of the people, involves it in inexplicable difficulties, and precipitates it to its ruin. On their accession to power, they should assume a stand in their country's honor, from whence neither the intrigues of caballing demagogues, the lofty title of an opposing nation, nor fear, nor chicanery, should be able to move them. The kindred feelings of foreign politics, the ardent wishes of foreign success should not be permitted to occupy the place of genuine patriotism. When an administration has to assert, and to support the national honor and independence; when they are bound to promote the happiness and prosperity of the people, and to attach to the government the affections as well as the interest of the community, no partiality should exist but for themselves. If any of the other great powers of the world, for the attainment of a few acres of ground, or for the establishment of new principle or an upstart dynasty, should sacrifice the lives of an hundred thousand men, and deluge the face of their countries with blood: let that administration which believes it to be for the interests of their government to remain neutral, preserve this ground with the most rigid impartiality without favor to either party, that neither may have just cause of complaint—allow not the smallest intimation of good faith by the people, nor the least coloring of favor in their public measures. The smallest partiality on the part of the government to one of the belligerents, justly makes the other an enemy—both cannot be served. We cannot serve GOD and mammon.
The partialities and fears of our administration for the great Corsican bashaw, with as many tails as there are continental powers in Europe, does not accord with that firm and dignified situation which becomes a great and independent nation professing neutrality. It matters not who offers the insult, if the nation receives one, and to feel it from one power and not from another, evinces the strongest partiality, whether it be the result of affection or of fear. As we remarked yesterday, when three or four privateers were blockading our bar last summer, and capturing our vessels and sending them to Barracoa, no proclamation was issued against them, no intercourse with them prohibited! they might be supplied with provisions! But not the British? The administration could not plead ignorance of the fact, for the memorial of the insurance company informed them of it. It is another proof of the correctness of the old adage, "that one man will not be permitted to look over the hedge while another may steal a horse."
It is not the president's official resentment against the British which we complain of, but of exercising his powers partially. The proclamation was just, because it was founded upon an act of congress, and he could not do otherwise; but he could and he ought to have done as much when the French cruisers were committing depredations upon our commerce for months together. None of the belligerents should be permitted to seek their enemies in our waters; in a political point of view, they are all our friends, and the trade of either of them to our neutral port should be protected within our jurisdictional limits. We should respect all nations alike, and treat all alike, under the same circumstances. This is the only way to preserve our neutrality, and to insure national respectability. Let us be Americans, without any other partiality than to our own country. (Charleston Courier.)

PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society. THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine e- ver before discovered, and are justly appreciated on their singular and uncommon virtues for re- storing weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the Spring and Fall seasons, such as intermittant Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dy- senteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bit- ter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superseded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Biliary Pills. THE great fame and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, be- speak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Biliary and Yellow fe- vers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Biliary Cholic, Colicwinds, Female complaints, &c. The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genu- ine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment. A certain and safe application for that disa- greeable complaint called the ITCH. Price 42 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Biliary Pills, or, Family Physic. The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem of which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their in- trinsic worth. In great colds and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often pro- duces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, diz- ziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysen- teries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti-biliary bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle— price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste, For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbutic gums and bad teeth. This paste is much in use, and high- ly esteemed by all those who value the preservati- on of their teeth, it may be applied at all times with the greatest safety. It is neatly put up in pewter boxes with paper directions. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Worm Powders. A medicine which for efficacy and safety in its operation stands unrivalled. The most authen- ticated proofs and respectable authorities of its astonishing virtues, and surprising effects, in ex- treme and alarming cases of worms, may be seen at the place of sale.

I don't know any thing that would make a stranger suspect Jack's eloquent form than that of calling himself a Baptist , and his argument. JACK came from Guinea when he was about 12 or 13 years of age.
