C. BEALL. September 12, 1805.
English Education.
I PROPOSE opening my Academy at Mount Zoar, again, on the first Monday in September, and wish all who purpose to place their Children with me, to enter them that day, that proper classes may, at once, be formed, and suitable books, where they are wanted, be procured for the pupils.
As this Academy has been several years in operation, under the favor of considerable patronage, and consequently the course of education, the morals and manners, and the attention and care practised at it, as also the terms of Board and Tuition generally known, nothing on these heads need be said at present.
I will, however, just observe, that as an increase of attention is not herein promised, so, a diminution of it need not be feared.
CHRISTOPHER COLLINS. Mount Zoar, August 16, 1805.
SINGING SCHOOLS.
THE subscriber intends offering his services in the course of the present month as a Teacher of Sacred Music, in the following places, to wit: Vanmetre's Settlement, Shepherd's Town, Swearingen's Settlement, Swan-Pond Settlement, Falling-Waters Settlement, Hedge's Chapel and Martinsburg. This early notice is given that people may have time to consult their own and their parents' minds, so that Schools may be made the first trial if at all, those who are acquainted with him are satisfied whether he is worthy their patronage or not, and those who are not he hopes will make strict inquiry.

Latest FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, August 8.
No accounts arrived yesterday from the coast of Spain or Portugal, so that we are still in the dark respecting the combined fleets. It is anxiously hoped that Lord Nelson is long before this off Cape St. Vincent. He has now with him, of frigates, only the Amphion and Amazon, and would be joined by the Decade; but if he does not send one of them home to announce his arrival, he would doubtless send to Lisbon and cause a vessel to be dispatched to England.
We have alluded to the ill humour which prevails respecting the late engagement and the escape of the enemy from Sir R. Calder. In the present circumstances, however, it is impossible for the public to pronounce a fair judgment, as they are destitute of evidence; and it would be in the highest degree unjust to condemn, unheard in an officer of Sir R. Calder's acknowledged merit, who probably has done every thing which was possible for any man in his situation to do. Undoubtedly the official letter is exceedingly defective in every respect, and a better narrative of the engagement ought to be published. Not to mention its want of perspicuity and detail, the names of the officers killed and wounded have never been stated officially. It is possible that some young sanguine officers may have conceived it easy to renew the battle when it really was not, both from the state of our ships and of the weather. Of these and other circumstances, a satisfactory explanation will, no doubt be given.
It is probably owing to the accidental omission of Admiral Sterling's name in the official letter, and the odd way in which the omission was supplied in the Gazette of Tuesday, that a rumour prevails of some difference between the admirals. It is said too that Sir R. Calder is coming home.
August 10.
We have reason to believe that the intelligence lately received by government is such as to create a firm persuasion that the enemy will immediately make an attempt to invade this kingdom; their preparations are complete, and in the Texel the troops destined for the expedition are actually embarked, with all the artillery and stores, and we have no doubt are only waiting for a favorable opportunity to put to sea. It was indeed, yesterday positively stated, that the Dutch fleet had sailed; but we have ascertained that the report was wholly unfounded. Admiral Russell sailed on Thursday to resume his station off the Texel. At so important a crisis we are happy to be enabled to state, that government have adopted every measure which prudence could suggest to defeat the daring design of the enemy. Of the result of such attempt we never entertained a doubt. At the same time we should be sorry if confidence led to any relaxation in the necessary means of defence. It would be idle to deny that we have a most active and powerful enemy to contend against; that his means of attack are great beyond all example; and that his enmity to this country is implacable. Our confidence is founded not upon any contempt of the enemy, but upon the knowledge of the skill, discipline and courage of our fleets and armies, and upon the loyalty, unanimity and bravery of the people of these kingdoms.
The Spaniards have begun forming two camps before Gibraltar, about 3 miles distant; they have pitched upwards of 500 tents, and they seem to have about 3000 men in their camps.
Government expect, by the next arrival from the continent, intelligence which will ultimately determine the question of continental peace or war, and perhaps the duration of the present parliamentary recess.
PLYMOUTH, August 8.
A sloop is come up from Falmouth, by which is learnt that a packet arrived from Lisbon in seven days, and brings a report of a second battle, and that one of the enemy's ships took fire and blew up. The Spanish prisoners say Villeneuve had sent all his fast sailing cutters and corvettes to the different French and Spanish Ports, to apprize the Port Admirals where he was, and in what latitude he might be joined by any vessels that could escape our blockading squadrons.
SALEM, September 17.
Bloody Scenes at Algiers .—Capt. Shilaber, from Leghorn, informs us, that
on the 7th of July a brig arrived there from Algiers, and brought accounts of an insurrection at that place, and that the Dey had beheaded 400 Jews. One Jewish family made their escape in the brig.
Captain S. being just on the point of sailing, had not an opportunity to collect any further particulars of the above; but after he had gone on board to take his departure, and while he lay becalmed Captain Israel Williams, of the ship Friendship of this port, then at Leghorn, was so obliging as to get on board a letter for us, communicating a number of other circumstances respecting this bloody business, of which the following is an extract:
Leghorn, July 8th.
"Yesterday arrived here an Imperial brig from Algiers. She informs, that that country was in dreadful confusion, that the Bedouin Arabs, said to be headed by a Frenchman, had revolted, and marched towards Algiers; that the Dey, on their approach, detached 7000 troops to attack them, but that these, after a desperate battle, were defeated and cut off to a man; that the Arabs then rushed on to the city, which they successfully attacked, and had taken a principal fort, that another attempt had been made to assassinate the Dey, he having received several stabs, and said to be mortally wounded; that he had cut off 400 of the richest Jew's heads, and that the bloody work was still going on when this vessel left the place.
"There were at this time three vessels at Algiers, a Ragusian, an Imperialist and a Swede, who all cut their cables, and ran away from the port, permitting as many Jews to come as could get on board: the brig, that has now arrived, has brought 100, and it is expected the Swede has at least 200 more.—Such is the news at Leghorn."
BOSTON, September 17.
A gentleman from New-York, which place he left on Friday, has reported at the health-office, that the number of cases of the malignant fever had much increased, and the disease was very fatal; that 50,000 persons it was computed had left the city, being nearly all that could afford to leave it, and that the principal part of those who remained, were poor mechanics, small grocers, draymen and blacks; that from Greenwich (in the suburbs) across to Broadway, tents were erected, forming a street for the reception of persons and goods, which tents were nearly all occupied, supposed by about 10,000 people; that 60 waggons and most of the drays were employed in moving goods; that the roads were crowded with men, women and children, mostly on foot, flying from the city; that some cases had fallen with the fugitives to Greenwich; that the rich and middling people conducted towards the poor with liberality and benevolence, honorable to humanity; so that their situation, as respects subsistence, was provided for. The scene, however, altogether was distressing beyond description.
September 24.
FOREIGN.
By the arrival of the ship Neptune, from London, we have received the papers of that city to the 11th Aug.
It is evident from a variety of publications, that the British government really believe that the French have completed those preparations that they have affected to deem competent to the conquest of G. B. and would soon make the long threatened attempt.
An American ship from Holland put into a British port on the 8th of August. The supercargo informed, that they sailed in haste, to avoid an embargo, which was momentarily expected to be laid. Twenty thousand troops had been embarked in Dutch transports, and twenty-five thousand were preparing to embark.
The blockade of the Texel has been resumed by a British squadron.
The purchase of Swedish Pomerania for Russia was made by England, at a price amounting to about the first vote of credit, five millions sterling—26,000,000 rix dollars.
There were reports in London at the last date of two fleets being seen engaged on the 2d of August. The first of August was the anniversary of Nelson's battle at the Nile.
The Spaniards had seven sail of the line at Cartagena, on the first of July, and one repairing.
All the London editors agree, that the port of Vigo could afford no sufficient protection and shelter to the French and Spanish ships, and that therefore they could not have remained long at that place.
It is a circumstance highly flattering to this country, that although the little Emperor of the Gauls succeeds, in gen-
eral, but too well in prejudicing the minds of his newly created subjects against us, all his endeavours to restrain them from purchasing in our funds or adventuring in our lotteries, have hitherto proved ineffectual. [London pap.]
NEW-YORK, September 14.
The demand for houses in this place (Greenwich) is scarcely greater than the rapidity with which they are raised. On a spot where yesterday you saw nothing but the green turf, to-morrow you behold a store. A builder here undertakes to raise a house, not in so many weeks or days but, like a tailor making you a suit of clothes against such an hour. By night as well as by day, the saw is heard and the hammer resounds; and the consequence is that the village begins to assume the appearance of a town.
Extract of a letter from Tunis, dated April 14, 1805.
"Tunis at this moment exhibits a scene of misery and distress (occasioned by famine) beyond any description. The mountaineers feed on the few roots and herbs which the country affords, and many, as the only means to support life, on putrifying carcasses of famished animals. The streets are crowded with naked bedouins, rendered ferocious by despair, whose importunate clamours call for charity, and not only render it painful, but even dangerous for a christian to walk out. These are not evils afflicted by heaven, they originate in the avarice and despotism of the government, and still civil commotion has yet not reared her standard. Our public affairs have been in so critical a situation for some time, as not to render the decision of peace or war for one week certain."
NORFOLK, September 13.
Scarcely a publication of this paper is made, in which we have not the painful task of noticing the injuries committed on the commerce of our country, by some of the belligerent powers. We have been handed a letter from Gibraltar, by which we perceive the following vessels are detained there, viz.
Ship Paulina, of Alexandria, from Cadiz Argus, Norfolk, do. Moses Myers, Boston, do. Brig Rover, do. do. Alert, Alexandria, do. Betsy, New Bedford, do. A schooner, name unknown, do. And a brig from Malaga, bound to Boston.
The writer of the letter does not know the cause of their detention, but says that he understands the vessels from Cadiz are detained for a breach of blockade, in the egress. The cargoes, it is said, will be condemned. These vessels went into Cadiz, as we are informed, without any interruption, and were returning with the proceeds of their outward cargoes. Between the time of their arrival at Cadiz and sailing, the British put the place in blockade, forbidding the egress of vessels with cargoes.
The ship Calpa, captain Jones, of and from this port for Gibraltar, is captured and carried into Algesiras, and is expected, the cargo not having the Spanish Consuls certificate attached to the invoice will be condemned. A letter which we have seen states, that five other American vessels are at Algesiras, carried in under the same pretext, and likely will share the same fate.
In a few numbers back we stated the capture of the ship Recovery, captain Adams, of this port, taken by the Spaniards and carried into Algesiras. We are favored with a letter which states the following particulars. The cargo (not being furnished with the Spanish consul's certificates of neutrality) is condemned. The vessel restored and freight allowed: an appeal would have been made, but the court would not allow it, except for vessel, freight and cargo, in which case, the whole property will be detained until the appeal is decided, which would not be less than from 12 to 18 months.
Captain Adams says, "what would you think of a proposition from a judge to clear the property for 8000 dollars? Yesterday that proposal was made to me, but as I could get no receipt for the money, I refused."
RICHMOND, September 21.
EXTRACT FROM A LETTER, DATED
"Pittsylvania County, Sept. 7.
"The very great drought lately, has much shortened the prospect of our crops of corn and tobacco in this part of the country, and has also been attended with a consequence hitherto unknown by the oldest inhabitants.
"Almost all the fish in Staunton river, of every kind, have died; thousands and tens of thousands were found on the
shoals, sand bars, and banks of the river, as far up and down as any information has been obtained. From the intolerable stench, occasioned by their putrification, a contagion on the river must have followed; but happily there came a heavy fall of rain, which raised a considerable swell in the river, that carried the offending substance down.
"There is scarcely a fish now to be seen in the river (alive)—and such as are seen are of the flat perch kind. As well as I recollect, from the 20th to the 25th of August was the period most fatal. Some allege that the excessive heat of the season and the lowness of the water, which has been generally muddy, have occasioned this phenomenon; others ascribe it to different causes. But what seems strange is, that the fish, neither in Otter river or Pig river, have been the least affected."
MARTINSBURG, October 4.
Ruin of our Commerce .—It appears to be granted on all hands that American property to a vast amount scattered over every ocean and sea is daily falling a prey to some one or other of the belligerent powers of Europe under pretences which are a mockery upon the law of nations and an open outrage upon the rights of neutrals. We have the authority of an English newspaper for stating that orders have been given by the British government for the detention of all "American vessels having on board property not the produce of the U.S." Is this so or is it not? If such orders have actually been given, must they not have been known to our minister or consul? It ought not to be supposed that they are loitering about the court of St. James merely for the purpose of getting their salaries, totally unmindful of the duties of their stations. If they know of such orders, they must have informed our government of the fact at least as soon as it could be made known to us through the channel of English newspapers. What then, supposing the fact to be so, has prevented our administration from making the danger officially known and instantly calling congress together to deliberate upon the proper means of repelling such a flagrant act of hostility? If the whole is a mere unfounded rumour, that also ought to be officially known by our government; for upon the publication of the article alluded to it became the duty of our minister in London to demand an explanation; and if the orders were disavowed by the British government, that disavowal should have been made known without delay to our government, and officially published here.—Why then are we left so totally in the dark upon a subject so deeply interesting to the nation? We know, that the price of insurance within a few days, has risen in some cases more than a hundred per cent. We know, that armed vessels along the coast take and carry in almost every American ship that falls in their way; and we know further, that it was the duty of our government long since to ascertain whether these enormities are committed by the authority of the governments to which these vessels belong, and to have taken public measures accordingly. When we look at these things, and then turn our eyes towards the administration and see the members of it scattered about the country, engaged in paltry cabals about a petty state election, or something else equally frivolous compared with the momentous concerns with which their time and their talents ought to be occupied, we feel an indignation which it may not be prudent to express.
[United States' Gazette.]
We congratulate our fellow citizens on the singular and curious fact, that for once all parties in the United States are agreed on one very important point, the language of indignation against Great Britain, and determined resistance to any encroachment on our neutral rights. Different parties may be governed in this instance by different views and motives, but for once their language is uniform. The federalists in perfect consistency with all their principles and measures, both in and out of administration, are still the friends and firm supporters of the rights of commerce, and ready and willing to lend all their aid to its support and protection, by whatever power it is assailed. The democrats appear to hold at present the same language, not we hope from an ancient and inveterate habit of abusing the British government, but from a regard to the honor and security of the country and that general interest, in which they are themselves large partakers.
There appears then in this case no

possible reason, why our government cannot hold a language bold, manly and decisive. This is the most favorable opportunity for them to retrieve their suffering reputation from the charge of weakness and pusillanimity, under which it has long labored. Their interest then as individuals, and their duty as magistrates, concur in pointing out the same course of conduct. In the prosecution of measures, moderate and judicious, but at the same time firm and decisive, the federalists will as we most confidently believe, support them from principle. In measures calculated to oppose the encroachments, and obtain redress for the injuries offered us by Great Britain, we presume the democrats will support them from habit, and rooted prejudices against every thing British. [Bos. Gaz.]
It appears, that the late order of the British Government for bringing in American vessels, has been erroneously published here, and that it is even more oppressive, than we had supposed. In all the Boston papers the order is stated to be, as taken from the London papers, that "the cruisers detain all American vessels which have on board property not the produce of the United States." If this is correct, as we have every reason to think it is, our merchants may now as well adopt the wise scheme of the government, by laying up all their ships in an immense dry dock, till such time as the people shall again come to their senses, and appoint rulers capable of protecting us. [U. S. Gaz.]
Interments in the different burial grounds of the city and liberties of Philadelphia, during the week ending on Saturday the 31st ult. at 12 o'clock—103 adults and 30 children.
It must be truly gratifying to every American to observe the honorable manner in which the return of our late captive countrymen to their beloved shores is welcomed by their fellow-citizens. Every where they receive the congratulations and most respectful attentions of their rejoicing countrymen—the strongest manifestation of the lively interest they felt for their fate. [Wash. Fed.]
On Saturday the citizens of Washington gave Capt. BAINBRIDGE an elegant DINNER, in testimony of the sense they entertain of his merits, and of their sympathy in his sufferings. The warm welcome, so universally given our gallant countrymen, will be to them the highest evidence of national gratitude and affection. [Nat. Intel.]
We are informed from the best authority, that our unfortunate Ally Hamet Bey, of Tripoli, is expected here in one of the first vessels. That he is a brave, humane and princely gentleman; and that the stories told by his vile brother, of his being addicted to drink or any other excess, are totally unfounded. This may be depended on. [Wash. Fed.]
It was yesterday reported, and this morning we are told from a correct source, that the late Spanish intendant, Morales, has received orders from his court to sell all the vacant lands in East and West Florida, and it is said sales will be immediately made, even of lands within the boundary claimed by the U. States. [Orleans Gaz. Aug. 3.]
For the INTELLIGENCER.
For honorable age is not that which standeth in length of time, or that is measured by number of years, but wisdom is the gray hair unto men, and an unspotted life is old age.
APOCRYPHA.
OF the truth of the above observations, Solomon was, himself, an eminent example; and at whatever time of his life he may be supposed to have written them, they were the result of his own experience. Under the instruction and example of a virtuous father he early manifested a predilection for piety and virtue; he was therefore beloved of God, and permitted to ask him for a particular favour, with an assurance of its being immediately granted. His piety was so masculine, and his thirst for knowledge so ardent, that instead of asking the temporary blessings of wealth and honours, he made this request, that he might be endowed with wisdom to judge in righteousness the chosen people of God, over whom he was appointed to reign. In consequence of this, he was blessed, not only with an extraordinary degree of wisdom and sagacity to find out the truth; but with power, wealth and glory; in
which he far exceeded all his ancestors, and contemporary kings. Indeed he was so highly distinguished by God, for his piety and virtue, that, at an early period of life, his fame was sounded through the habitable world; and he attained the summit of human felicity, at an age, when others were engaged in the acquisition of that knowledge which was to be the foundation of their future fortune.
Among the many wise and useful lessons, for conducting mankind to virtue and happiness, which are found in the writings of this truly great man, is one, which, no doubt, he considered as the source of his own happiness, "The fear of the Lord," says he, "is the beginning of wisdom," and with this he advises youth to begin their researches after it. On this subject he addresses them with all the ardour of affectionate persuasion; and adds many cautions against the uncontrolled gratifications of sense and appetite; particularly the embraces of lewd and wicked women, which would inevitably destroy all their worldly prospects of wealth and greatness, and subject them to the hatred, and contempt of God, and good men.
Youth is certainly the most proper time to commence a virtuous education. The mind is then flexible and easily receives any impressions that may be given it, and if the seeds of virtue are early sown, and cultivated with care and diligence, by being wrought into habit, will have a great influence on future life. The memory is retentive, and seldom or never loses those principles early stored up in it. The passions are strong; but if they are properly seasoned with devotion, they will never entirely prevail, to extinguish the lamp of wisdom and virtue, kindled in the youthful mind. For although the vigour of early manhood, urged by a concurrence of those circumstances that usually assail the virtue of youth, may occasion a temporary departure from moral rectitude; consideration seldom fails to recall the wanderer, assert the empire of religion and virtue, and subdue the passions to a compliance with their dictates.
That the wisdom, which alone carries happiness in her train, begins with the fear of the Lord, is irrefragably true; whether we consider it as it respects this life, or that which is to come. The objects which seem, in a particular manner to engage the attention of mankind in this life, are wealth and honours; and these are often the combined rewards of virtue and talents. Goodness is synonymous with greatness; and exalted virtue, combined with genius, irresistibly attracts the confidence, the respect, and the admiration of mankind; and as they are the most proper qualifications for the highest office a nation can bestow, so they are the genuine foundation of popular favour. They are the high road to wealth and greatness, and seldom fail to attain the zenith of human happiness. But although virtue be found in a soil, too sterile to produce the luxuries of scientific research, it never fails to procure the substantial happiness, of a conscience void of offence.
It is the universal dictate of reason and revelation, that, the wisdom which begins with the fear of the Lord only, can, with infallible certainty, lead to an happy immortality. The essential attributes of God are happiness itself, which is necessarily communicated to every object of similitude. Virtue is the image, and peculiar object of the love of God; and there can be no distinction of the age in which it exists, that can render it more, or less acceptable to Him. The fear of the Lord not only restrains from vice by a dread of his power, but excites to virtue by a consideration of his goodness; it teaches to look up to Him in every step of our conduct, with awe and reverence, as the benificent Author of all good; it engages us in enquiries after his will, that we may conform to it; and by a suitable obedience to so divine a rule, become holy, as He is holy; in the same kind, though not in the same degree. In fine, the wisdom which begins with the fear of the Lord, is the mainspring of that virtue which receives by reflection, the resplendent beams of glory and happiness, which emanate from the supreme Source of light and life—the incomprehensible Fountain of all perfection, and embraces his own image in every direction.
The negative, as well as positive assertions of Solomon, at the head of this paper, were intended to encourage youth to adopt, and pursue the paths of piety and virtue, which, only leads to happiness. Honourable age is not that which standeth in length of time—no—virtue and honour are inseparable, and no length of time will procure the latter, without the former. But wisdom is the gray
hair unto men. A wise youth lives to all the purposes of maturer age; he is beloved of God and good men; he shall be honoured among the elders of his people, while many whose heads are silver'd over by time, have not yet begun to live to those purposes for which they were created; they have consulted only the sensual gratifications, and are strangers to those innate principles of virtue, which the fear of the Lord is calculated to inspire. Evil habits, inveterate and unconquerable, have an undisputed domination over the whole man; and even resolutions of amendment, however solemnly entered into, are ineffectual and abortive. How deplorable is this condition! hated of God, and despised by men; the body fast approaching to the embraces of its mother earth; while the mind is still enveloped in the darkness of ignorance and sensuality, without one ray of hope—one beam of comfort to cheer the benighted soul, through the valley of the shadow of death, one single reflection to sweeten the bitter cup of the king of terrors, or qualify the gnawings of the worm that never dies.
There are, no doubt, many who have been arrested in a course of vice and immorality, by a consideration of the evils inseparable from it. Happy indeed are they, who are thus wrought upon, as it is always wise to depart from evil, and cleave to that which is good: But it is a peculiar felicity to learn wisdom by the experience of others, and thereby escape the anxiety, the danger, and the disquietude that produced it. An unspotted life is old age; in this situation a youth has nothing to fear from death; "amidst the wreck of matter, and the crush of worlds," he stands secure, as seeing Him who is invisible. Be wise now therefore, O young man! "Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them"—no improvement from them.

A clear and unblemished character comprehends not only the integrity that will not offer, but the spirit that will not submit to, an injury; and whether it belongs to an individual or to a community, it is the foundation of peace, of independence, and of safety. Junius.
ALL persons who are indebted to me by bond or note, will please take notice that they are deposited in the hands of Dr. Cramer, of Charles-Town, for collection: As many of those notes, &c. are now due, and the remainder will become so in the course of a few days, it is expected that nothing farther will be necessary to obtain payment than this notice. Those whose accounts are still open, will also take notice, that I shall be in Charles-Town in a few weeks, when I flatter myself that they too will come forward and discharge their respective balances.
