MADNESS.
AN effectual remedy on the human body, for that dreadful malady the bite of mad animals—it being the remedy that Dr. Sroy of Lebanon, of Pennsylvania, has effected so many cures with—A number of persons have been cured by Dr. Sroy and himself, that had violent symptoms of the hydrophobia, from one to two days raging. The cure can be effected as long as the constituent part of the blood is not separated; which will happen sooner or later, according to the state of body, or the effect of the bite. I would advise every person to make application as soon as the person has received the infection. No trust can be expected for the above. Michael Schaag. Lexington, March 18th, 1805.

A GREAT BARGAIN.
THE subscriber intends leaving the State, and offers for sale the following property, with an indisputable title, and possession given immediately— ISLAND MILLS, &c. That valuable and well known tract or parcel situated at the mouth of Tates creek, 15 miles from Frankfort, on the main and leaden to Main court house, containing 1200 acres, or thereabouts, 250 of which is excellent bottom land, the remainder hilly, but well timbered. 80 or 100 acres cleared, part of which is well set with red clover and timothy. On the upper part of the tract is erected a Merchant and Grist Mill, both over-shot and double geared, with a pair of French Burrs and a pair of Laurel Hill stones. The house is large and convenient, being 50 by 40, with four floors, rolling screen, boiling cloths,opper boy, hoisting and packing works, by water and in good order; the dam is new built entirely of white oak, hewed and filled with stone, not inferior in any respect to the best in the State—the situation is perfectly secure, either from back water or fresher in the creek—distance from the river, 1 1/2 miles, and no hill interfering. On the lower part of this tract, and about a half mile from the river is situated the saw mill, in complete order, and capable of doing as much business as any in the State. A good framed dwelling, kitchen and store house, with a number of useful cabins, and a large and never failing spring convenient. A DISTILLERY, within 40 yards of the mill, with over-head waters, and two stills containing 250 gallons. That celebrated full blooded Stud Horse YOUNG BARONET. Rising six years old, full 15 hands 3 inches high, was got by the imported Baronet, who was equal to any horse ever imported; old Baronet was bred by Mr. John Webb, bar. got by Vertumnus, son of Eclipse, his dam called Peaulima, by Snap, grand dam by Cade, great grand dam by Crab, great grand dam by Flying Chilvers out of a Confederate filly; he was got by Grey Grantham, her dam by the Duke of Rutlands Black Barb out of Bright's Roan. Young Baronet's dam was got by the imported Othello, grand dam by the imported Figure, great grand dam by the imported Wild Dair, her dam was imported with Wild Dair, by Gov. Delancy—Wild Dair became so famous he was returned to England. Several brood mares with Baronet colts, and now with foal by the same horse. CATTLE. A small flock, among which are two valuable Yoke of Oxen; a large flock of Hogs, 40 or 50 at which are fit to kill this fall. As I intend positively to leave this state the ensuing spring, and not wishing to leave any property behind me, it will be well worthy the attention of any person inclining to purchase this kind of property; it will be sold at an under value, the whole together, or separate. In point of situation, there is no property of the kind in the State, that surpasses it. There is a thick settled, fertile country around it, where the greatest abundance of produce may be collected; the land abounds with good timber for boat building, and a very convenient spot for that purpose on the bank of the river Kentucky; boats for the Mississippi trade can be built, and loaded at the mouth of Tates creek with more convenience, less expense, and greater dispatch than at any other landing on the river. There is on hand a flock of well seasoned flour barrels, and sufficient for a number more. For further particulars enquire of the subscriber on the premises. Elisha L. Winter Jr.

FOR SALE,
18,000 Acres of Land, ON the left hand side of the three forks as you go up the Kentucky, and at their junction. This land runs along the river three miles, and nine miles back. The bottoms are rich land; the ridges are capable of producing wheat, and other small grain. The pasture is excellent for raising stock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane brakes, and pecans. All along the river is the sugar tree, wild cherry, and woods common to this State. When you go back for the pine; which is not an abundant tree; and close, extending hill, for also the wood also coal bank with yards. There is all coal banks which are, with easy access to coal yard and boat yard; said, several salt-petre caves bottoms and along the creek produce good cotton or hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country blacksmiths, consumed thirteen thousand bushels per annum we will suppose Frankfort five thousand, which sells at the landing one shilling per bushel, and twenty thousand might be sold: this might be made productive by a sum of small capital. Independent of these advantages, the mouth of the three forks is the best fishing place in the State. In a small crib they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a few five or seven hundred barrels per annum.

There are a number of acres of clear bottom land, and several log houses up on the above lands.

For the Kentucky Gazette.
To the Author of an Address to the Governor of the state of Kentucky.
THE appearance of this letter will probably attract your attention. The style may be as contemptible as your own, yet the sentiments cannot fail to be interesting; but I would with you to be assured, that it is not from any respect I entertain for you as a man, or your qualifications to perform the task of a biographer.
If you had been content to live as a private and unambitious individual; or if you had filled your station with modesty, your name and your quiet might not have been disturbed by the laughter of your country. You would, like many less elevated than yourself, have slept oblivious in your native insignificance; and your name, if mentioned by the world, would not have been loaded with derision and contempt. But sir, you have disregarded your own impotence, bid defiance to nature, and like other wretches who have offered sacrilege at her shrine, you will fall a victim to your own temerity.
You commenced your career in the world with those wanton depredations on character, which marked the depravity of your ignoble mind. While only known to the world by your vanity and affectation, you betrayed that itch for fame, and evinced that determination to purchase it, like the incendiary who fired the temple of Ephesus, at any price, which has since become so degrading to yourself and disgusting to your country.
To a virtuous and elevated mind, nothing is so pleasant as a retrospect upon its humble beginnings, and its progress towards the admiration of mankind. But you sir, are robbed of all the pleasures of recollection, you have nothing behind you but a dreary waste, marked only with your own presumptions, and mortifying disappointments. If you have yet any remains of your wayward sensibility, or of the ruins of your moral principles, you must ficken at the remembrance of a career begun in absurdity, and continued under the most woful delusion.
How can you look back, without shame, upon that period, which you think unknown, because it was obscure, when you sat at your table at which you wrote your first strictures on character? When you were nothing more than a calumniator at that age when the virtues ought to bloom? When with a youthful and sacrilegious hand, you laid the axe to the root of your humble virtues, and corrupted at their source all the honorable principles of the heart. But as was not to have been expected, after the repeated rebuffs you had met with, you did not stop here. It is the nature of a certain class of the follies never to cease grow until towards the goal of life, when they meet the corrective hand of truth. Then inbecility often shrinks to itself. Happy will it be for the ridiculousness of hidden from your departure to be embittered by the seeking-pursuit to yourself sense of your once your career, so have you effrontery of
to withdraw which you times, and servitudes a former oc- minently ri- our country, ece, with what germs of your our sensibility, it y remains of it, you are not incorrigi- difficulty, will point been recalling your re-
er portion of mankind seem the most hopeless apathy to merits; you seem to be of unhappy class: your whole charac- overes that you consider yourself un- leled; but by the pervading eye of genius, many points of resemblance are seen in the portrait of the coxcomb. I will not lengthen this letter by te- dious details, I will forbear to torture your almost extinguished sensibility, by fuming in all the follies of your life, a future letter may collect all the scattered sweets, and condense them until they torture the sense.
I warn you that there is no doubt of the governor's license on the subject of your letter. The constitution has wisely guarded the liberty of the press, that terror to evil doers—and whilst your scribblings contain unmeaning, ground- less insinuations, that charge not prove any thing but the author's imbecility, you are in no danger of a prosecution for a libel. But I farther warn you, that if you do not learn prudence on this occasion, the indignation of an in- dividual, offended beyond the point of endurance, by some future calumny, may draw you forth, not to be immolated at the altar of your country, because your
country concerns itself very little about you, but to chastise you for the grati- fication of personal resentment.
I am &c.

To the Editor of The Palladium.
Sir
I LATELY observed in the col- umns of your paper, a publication containing strictures on the conduct and views of the Indiana canal com- pany. In perusing those strictures, I was much surprised at finding my name introduced to public notice in the following singular paragraph:
"They (meaning Gen. Hovey and his associates) first approach the Senate, where it appears they had some friends and associates; the late Vice-President, Jonathan Dayton, an old veteran speculator, and John Brown were of this num- ber, and for the honor of the senate, we hope the only ones. The report of the committee (which was com- posed of Messrs. Dayton, Brown & Smith) was, as might be expected, a favourable one. And here we cannot forbear to regret, that Mr. Brown who has served his country so long and with so much honor, should have associated himself with this junto, and that too, at a time when he knew the legislature of his own state had taken up the subject, and had then actually incorporated a company for that purpose. That Congress ought to aid in this great undertaking, will not be questioned, but surely that aid ought to be given where the canal can be cut for the least expence, and where when cut it will best answer the purpose in- tended."
In replying to these charges and insinuations, so injurious to my hon- or, I do not feel the smallest dispo- sition either to comment on the prin- ciples in which they have originat- ed, or to descend to recrimination, or to personal invective. I shall content myself with proving that the charges are false—that the in- sinuations are wholly groundless.
That I was not associated with Gen. Hovey during the last session of congress, nor in any manner con- cerned or interested in the objects contemplated by his memorial, at any time during the period of my official service, the affidavit of Gen. Hovey himself hereunto annexed, (marked No. 1.) proves beyond the possibility of contradiction; yet in corroboration of this affidavit, were it necessary, additional testimony could be obtained from a gentleman of high respectability, whose resi- dence is too remote to admit of my procuring it at present.
After the adjournment of Con- gress, propositions were made to me, to become interested in the projected canal. The term of my official service being expired, I felt myself, as a private citizen, at full liberty to converse and act on that or any other subject which promi- sed public utility and individual en- olument. I then consulted with several gentlemen on this subject, and it was verbally agreed, that if an act of incorporation could be obtained from the legislature of the Indiana territory, such as we ap- proved, and the prospect of success should appear flattering, we would engage in the undertaking. But we came under no obligation to pro- secute the scheme, and to this mo- ment it is entirely at my discretion whether to subscribe or not. As yet I am not interested in the In- diana canal company, to the amount of a single cent, unless the advance of 250 dollars, to defray the expences incidental to the application for the charter and those which might be incurred in obtaining an accurate survey of the ground through which the proposed canal may pass, may be supposed to create an interest.
But it has also been asserted in the last number of your paper, that the Vice-President after associating himself with a junto of speculators, did appoint an interested commit- tee, consisting of messrs. Dayton, Smith and myself, to decide, and make a favourable report of Gen. Hovey. To repel this gross ca- lumny, advanced in terms so un- qualified, and accompanied by no kind of evidence, I have only to re- fer to the affidavit of Gen. Hovey, and to state a simple fact. It is well known to all who have ever read the standing rules of the se- nate of the United States, or wit- nessed their proceedings, that no committee was ever appointed by the Vice-President. A standing rule of the senate directs, that all commit- tees shall be appointed by ballot.
That rule has not in any instance within my recollection, been de- parted from. The committee in question was appointed in confor- mity to it, each member present putting into the ballot box, his bal- lot for the whole number of which the committee was to consist; of course it was the act of the house, not of the president, who had no other agency in the transaction, than to aid the secretary in counting the ballots and declaring the result. Corruption then could not have in- fluenced the choice unless it is ad- mitted that a majority of that hon- ourable body had previously com- bined together, and were actuated by unworthy and interested con- siderations.
The report of the committee is subjoined, (marked No. 2) and al- though it has been made the sub- ject of much animadversion, yet if candidly examined, I trust it will be found to contain nothing worthy of reprehension, or that can in any manner impeach the honor, inte- grity, or judgment of those by whom it was formed.
As I have no knowledge of the writer of the piece signed "A Yan- kee," republished in your paper, & have had no communication what- ever with him, I do not think myself responsible for any opinions express- ed by him, which have been ungen- erously misconstrued to my disad- vantage.
This, sir, is a correct statement of a transaction which has been so grossly misrepresented; I flatter myself that it will answer the pur- pose which has induced me (how- ever reluctant) thus publicly to vindicate my conduct—that it will satisfy the candid enquirer, and put calumny to silence.
JOHN BROWN.
Frankfort, Dec. 19.
No. 1.
I do hereby certify and declare that to the best of my knowledge & belief, John Brown, late a senator for the state of Kentucky, in the se- nate of the United States, had no interest either direct or indirect in the association formed by myself and others, for opening a canal at the rapids of the Ohio, relative to which I, on behalf of myself and associates, presented a memorial to the senate of the United States, in January last. That Mr. Brown did not while that memorial was depending before the senate, or during the last session of congress, express to me, or to any of my associates, as I ever heard, the idea of his taking an in- terest in the proposed undertaking; nor did I until the third of March, when his term of public service ex- pired, suggest to him the idea of his taking an interest. That General Wilkinson did inform me, shortly before congress adjourned that he had found Mr. Brown as to his willingness to become interested, that Mr. Brown had declined to hold any consultation on the subject, and declared his determination not to be con- cerned in the project so long as he filled a seat in the senate. That after congress had adjourned, Mr. Brown and several gentlemen of respectability, did meet and con- sult upon the propriety of taking an interest in the proposed plan, and did verbally agree to be con- cerned in the business, provided a satisfactory act of incorporation should be obtained from the legis- lature of Indiana. That to defray the expence attending the applica- tion for that purpose, and for fur- veying the route of the canal, Mr. Brown & the other gentlemen who attended, did voluntarily agree to advance 300 dollars, each; and Mr. Brown has paid me nearly that amount applicable to those pur- poses since his return to Kentucky.
Since the act of incorporation has been obtained, Mr. Brown has not to my knowledge or belief, subscribed a cent to the stock of the Indiana canal com- pany, nor is he, to my knowledge, under any obligation either verbal or written to take any interest in that concern.
Although not called upon for that pur- pose, yet in justice to my own feelings, and with a view to repel certain insinua- tions that are in circulation, I cannot forbear to declare that at the last session of congress, no member of the senate of the United States had to my knowledge or belief any interest whatsoever in the plans I then had in contemplation; re- lative to the canal aforesaid.
BENJAMIN HOVEY.
Franklin county. Sworn to before me, a justice of the peace for said county, the 12th Dec. 1805.
JOHN M. SCOTT.
No. 2.
"In Senate of the United States, January 28th, 1805. General Dayton from the commit-
tee" to whom was referred the memorial of Benjamin Hovey, in behalf of himself and his associates, reported that it ap- pears from the representation of the fund memorialists, that they have formed an association for commencing, and so far as in their power, for completing a work of no less magnitude than that of open- ing a passage for vessels of burthen, from the head of the foot of the rapids of the Ohio river, by a canal and locks on the west side thereof; and their prayer is, that congress will be pleased to afford them such aid and encouragement as may be deemed commensurate to the under- taking, either by a donation of twenty- five thousand acres of land, or the privi- lege of a right of pre-emption to one hundred thousand acres, to be located in four several tracts within the Indiana territory, at the same price for which the other lands of the United States are sold, but upon more liberal terms of cred- it, and without demand of interest. Your committee, all of whom have per- sonally visited and paid some attention formerly to this difficult and dangerous part of the navigation of the Ohio, im- pressed with a belief of the practicability of the undertaking, of its vast benefit & importance to the whole country, espe- cially to that part of it which is connect- ed with the western waters, and that it must necessarily enhance the value and greatly increase the sales of the public lands, feel no hesitation in recommend- ing a compliance with the request of the memorialists, by either making to them a gratuitous donation, or granting a right of pre-emption on the terms and to the extent prayed for. As, however, these associates, although believed to be highly respectable in point of numbers, character and property, have not yet been regularly organized and incorporat- ed, your committee forbear to offer any specific proposition upon the subject as the foundation of an act of the legisla- ture, believing that such a measure would be premature and improper, until those necessary preliminary steps have been taken by the memorialists and those who are or may be associated with him.

LEXINGTON, JANUARY 2.
Agreeably to the terms of this paper, an advance payment of Two Dollars is now due, from each of the subscribers, who commenced with the year. Although the Editor has not been much in the habit of dunning, yet he would assure his patrons, that his wants have been, and now are great and numerous—He therefore hopes, that all those in arrears, will make immediate payment of their accounts; without which, it will be impossible for him to extricate himself from some pecuniary difficulties in which he is involved. He assures them he is not jesting, and that by a compliance with the above he would be greatly relieved.
In the Danville Informant of the 10th ult. an anonymous writer has addressed the Governor of Kentucky, in a manner which would give reason to believe he had been guilty of crimes of the most atrocious nature. He promised in a future number, to come forward with his charges against the governor.
The reply to this writer in the Gazette of to-day, is almost a copy of his first address. In the same paper of the 17th, he has again made his appearance under the signature of "Decius," and in the same bold style, drags the Governor before the public, who are waiting with the greatest anxiety, to know the crimes of which their chief magistrate has been guilty. That anxiety is wrought up to the highest pitch by the following expressions:
"I fear, Sir, your race is almost lengthened to the goal. The load of your enormities has accelerated your approach to the climacteric of life. And I would warn you, as it were with a voice from on high, "that there is no repentance in the grave." As was to be expected, you have inflicted injuries upon your country that have traced their sensibility to the heart. The measure of our woes is almost full." And I would warn you of the perilous ground on which you stand. It would be better to retreat in time than fall a victim to the awful indignation of an injured country. You stand, Sir, upon the brink of a yawning precipice. And the offended justice of your country may fall upon you, deep and sudden as the lightning of heaven."
He next comes forward with his charges; when lo! the mountain, after the most agonizing groans, opened, but not even a mouse appeared.
1st. Upon the day you were sworn into office, you disregarded the constitution, and made a communication to the people of Frankfort, for which you deserve the odium of your country, and the contempt of intelligent men. I said I would convict you of a violation of the constitution—I have done so. And it remains for your country to offer you as a sacrifice to her insulted rights."
2d. (Speaking of the Governor's communication to the last Legislature,) "In those communications you give it as your opinion to the legislature, that the judiciary ought to be enlarged, the allotments ought to be varied, and the salary of judges ought to be increased. In doing this you have disregarded the constitution, and deserve for it the reprobation of your country."
After stating these charges, which are the only specific charges exhibited, he observes, "But Sir, I have arrested you in your course. I have performed a mere ministerial duty. It remains for your country to complete the task it owes to itself and posterity, by offering you up upon the altar of justice!"
Indeed, viewing the pieces altogether, it appears very evident the author is deranged.
Last evening the post arrived, bringing two mails which were due last Saturday and yesterday morning. He had been detained by high waters.
This arrival has furnished us with a feast of information, plentiful though not palatable—War and bloodshed compose a large portion of the repast.
We have received the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th official bulletins of the grand army of France, commanded by Bonaparte; by which we learn, that on the 8th October, an action took place at Wittingen, in which the Austrians were defeated, with the loss of their cannon, colours, 2 lieutenant colonels, 6 majors, 60 other officers, and 400 men taken prisoners, besides a great number killed and wounded.
That the battle of Wittingen was succeeded in 24 hours by the battle of Gunzburg, where the Austrians were again defeated, with the loss of 2500 men, (1200 prisoners) and 6 pieces of cannon—French loss, 400 killed and wounded.
That on the 9th, in a partial engagement, Marshal Soult beat Prince Ferdinand, and took 2 pieces of cannon, 2 captains and 120 soldiers.
That on the 10th, Marshal Bernadotte took the baggage of several Austrian generals, and made 100 prisoners.
That Marshal Davoust has in several skirmishes, made 500 prisoners.
That a decisive engagement was about to take place. The Austrian army had nearly all its communications cut off, and was nearly in the same situation as the army of Milas at Marengo.
All the particulars, with the situation of the several armies, must be deferred, on account of the late hour at which we received our papers.
The President of the United States has made a lengthy communication to Congress, of documents respecting our differences with Spain. They are of great interest, and although the substance of most of them has been published, yet when brought into one view, they swell the catalogue of our grievances to an enormous size.
A law has finally passed Congress, and received the approbation of the President, appropriating an additional sum of 250,000 dollars, towards defraying the expenses of the navy for the year 1805.
A bill is before the house of representatives for prohibiting, for a limited time, the exportation of arms and ammunition from the United States.
A resolution is also before them, for presenting Mr. Eaton with a gold medal, with suitable emblems, as a testimony of the high sense entertained of his gallantry and good conduct in Tripoli.
FROM NORFOLK, Dec. 4.
Just as our paper was putting to press, Capt. McKinley, of the ship Leonidas, from Liverpool, favoured us with a paper of the 9th October. The Prussians had taken possession of Hanover, and the blockade of Hamburg was expected to be raised immediately. The French on evacuating Cuxhaven, destroyed the batteries. The King of Prussia had forbidden the exportation of grain from his dominions.—American five flour on the 8th, 52 a 54s. sterling.—Extracts in our next.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 7.
The English East and West India convoys of 140 sail, with eight 54 and 74 gun ships, 3 frigates, 2 cutter brigs, and a number of transports, failed from Madeira on the 3d of October, in great haste, with 12,000 troops on board, under the command of Sir Home Popham, and General Baird, on a secret expedition, supposed for the Cape of Good Hope, the Spanish colonies in America, or for some other very important object.
A Letter from Greenoch, dated the 25th October, says, that advice had just been received there, stating that an engagement had taken place between the French and Austrian armies, in which the former were defeated, with the loss of 18,000 killed.
Borders of the Danube, 9th Oct.
The divisions under Marshal Ney, and some other divisions of cavalry, which he found between Neresheim and Houbell, are rapidly marching towards Ulm, by the right of the river Danube, passing by Dillingen, Lauingen and Gunzelingen. They write that the Austrians intended to evacuate Ulm to-day or to-morrow.
Many large magazines belonging to the Austrians, have fallen into the hands of the French.
We learn that the Archduke Charles had transferred his head quarters from Padone to Vicence.
The Austrian troops near to Field-kirk, are about to retire to the frontiers of the Swifs, and abandon the redoubt which they held.
Strasburgh, 20th Vendemaire.
We have just learned the official news, that Prince Murat has obtained a complete victory over the Austrians, after a severe contest, which lasted many hours. The Prince surrounded an Austrian division of 15,000 men, caused them to lay down their arms, and made them prisoners of war.
The division under Marshal Augereau, is expected daily.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 24.
On Thursday last, the Emperor, accompanied by Prince Czartorisky, Gen. Novositzoff, &c. set off to join the army on the frontiers. (the place of rendezvous in Brehlitoffeky,) whether it is said the British and Austrian Ministers will shortly follow:—The Russian army already marched, amounts to 320,000 men. The army of reserve consists of 300,000, and a general recruiting has taken place, which is to produce 250,000 men.
On Thursday last, the legislature of this state adjourned after a session of more than eight weeks. During their session the following laws were passed:

FROM THE PORT FOLIO. THE blooming garlands Flora shed, And summer's genial suns have shed, To bless rich Asia's fertile fields, Where sweets unbidden Nature yields; Where fragrance fills the gentle gales, That wander through the spicy vales; The hours successive pleasures cheer, And Love and Joy usurp the year.
On Boreas wings, with sullen gloom, See Winter, thron'd in tempests, come; Chill blasts the rustling forests sweep, And heave the billows of the deep; Thick snows descending clothe the ground, And desolation frowns around.
No more the music of the groves The heart to joy in concert moves; No more the walk at eve delights, Nor grateful breezes fan the nights; Yet many a pleasure cheers the day, Beneath stern Winter's rugged sway. The gales, that rush on hills of snow, The rosy cheek of health bestow; To manly firmness brace the nerve, And mental purity preserve.
Let soft effeminacy lurk Within the harem of the Turk; I rather would, with joy date, Bind to my foot the glittering skate, And course, to stir the sluggish blood, The chrysal surface of the flood; Nor, though to rosy sport inclin'd, Neglect the culture of my mind.
But chief the ancients should engage, And fire my thoughts with classic rage. Models of style, to Nature true, With boldest art her form they drew. O! would I, freed from studious care, Join the gay circle of the fair, Where wit and beauty shed their rays, And trace the dance's pleasing maze.
Thus would I choose to pass my time, Till, verging to this Northern clime, The summer suns again should rise, O'er greener fields, in brighter skies.
H. "TRIFLES LIGHT AS AIR."
A person said to a friend one day, with whom he was very intimate, "I am now going a journey, give me your ring, which I will keep about me, and whenever I see it I shall remember you."

VERSAILLES ACADEMY. THE trustees of this seminary inform the public, that having met at Woodford Court-house, on Saturday the 21st December, in order to arrange the necessary business of the institution; they elected Mr. John Wood president of the Academy, and adopted the following plan of tuition to be pursued in future. The branches of Education taught at the Academy of Versailles, to consist of the following: 1. English, writing, and the common rules of arithmetic. 2. The Greek, Latin and French languages. 3. Mathematics and natural philosophy. The 1st, together with the junior classes of the 2d, will be under the charge of proper assistants to be elected, when the students are sufficiently numerous to require that aid. In the 2d branch, the method pursued, will vary a little from that at present practised in other schools and seminaries. It is particularly recommended that youth should begin the Latin language at the age of six, or so soon as they are acquainted with the English alphabet, and the syllables of words, and to continue its study for six or eight years. The authors contemplated to be read after the rudiments, Corderus, and Cæsar, are principally the poets, Ovid, Virgil, Horace, Terence, Lucretius, Tibullus and Juvenal. The practice of committing to memory select odes and passages; of scanning; and composing Latin verses, will be early and frequently attended to. The Greek language will be commenced in the fourth year of the Latin, and the authors to be read; Anacreon, Homer, Aristophanes and Sophocles. The French will be taught towards the close of the studies of the Latin and Greek, immediately previous to the commencement of the mathematics. In studying the mathematics, a full knowledge of Euclid, plane and spherical trigonometry, the elements of algebra, fluxions, and the conic sections, is recommended previous to the acquirement of any of the branches of natural philosophy; as they are intended to be taught principally by the medium of geometry and algebra. The general art of design, or of drawing and painting, will be occasionally practiced as an amusement, and to relieve the mind from severer studies. The knowledge of all religious, ethical, and speculative tenets, will be excluded from this seminary; as likewise the perusal of such authors as may tend to influence the mind of youth in those respects; but the strictest attention will be devoted to the moral deportment of the students, and to the cultivation of the virtuous and sympathetic passions; nor will any amusements be tolerated in play hours, but such as may have this tendency. Although the above be the plan which is resolved in general to be adopted with the youth of the Versailles Academy; yet it will be frequently varied to suit the capacity, and intended professions of particular individuals; but not so as to occasion any derangement in the plan of the several classes. The terms of tuition in future, will be five dollars per quarter, for those only studying English; six dollars for Greek and Latin students; seven and one half dollars after the commencement of the French language, or any of the branches of the mathematics and natural philosophy. Two dollars and one half additional, will be charged to those who obtain a knowledge of drawing or painting, or those branches connected with the art of design, as military or civil engineering, &c. The fees of tuition are also required to be paid in advance, at the commencement of each quarter. The healthy situation of the town of Versailles is sufficiently known, without the untroubled urging any argument in its favor. It may however be proper to acquaint the public, that every necessary accommodation will be provided in the town, for the boarding of students, who live at a distance from their parents or friends.
