BALTIMORE  YOUNG MISSES' ACADEMY. NOTHING, in this country, is so difficult to be met with, as good literary establishments, furnished with Teachers qualified to conduct Young Ladies through all the branches of instruction necessary and ornamental; and if there are some good Schools in the principal towns, as they do not in common take in boarders, the benefit is lost to many rich families living in the country, which would, at any rate, bring up their children in a distinguished way. This gave the idea of establishing a Boarding School, whose plan was first announced to the public three months ago in the Maryland Gazette, and which has already de- served the attention and encouragement of some of the most worthy families in Baltimore. Mrs. Lacombe, a French lady, Directress of this Aca- demy, has endeavoured to join every convenience that could possibly assist her in giving the most finished educa- tion to her pupils. English grammar, geography, and arithmetic, are de- monstrated by Mrs. Beck from London, who is also qua- lified to give particular lessons in drawing. French is constantly practiced in the school, besides the daily lessons given on grammar by a gentleman from Paris, who was there a President of a College. Writing, common sewing, and every kind of embroid- ery and tambour are likewise taught assiduously. The young boarders especially are attended to with the utmost care; the house is ample and convenient; accom- modations abundant; servants and superintendents num- erous; in short, nothing is spared that can afford them either utility or convenience. For further information, application may be made to the right Rev. Dr. CARROLL, or Mrs. Lacombe herself, South-street, opposite Water street. September 8, 1795. eod.3w.

PICTURE OF PARIS.
The following picture of Paris in the month of June last has been transmitted by a German traveller, residing in that capital, and published in a German paper. "Six o'clock in the morning nothing to be seen in the streets but women and children with pale faces, carrying to their respective habitations the allowance of bread for which they have waited one half the night at the bakers."
FROM THE N. Y. DAILY ADVERTISER.
THE ALARM!—No. VI. "The devil is in the fellow," said one democrat to another on reading a number of Camillus, "for I am sure that he is full of sophistry, and yet I cannot possibly point my finger to the place."
Gentlemen, I am sure that your inability to detect the errors of this writer is no argument that he is found. His errors do not consist so much in his pieces, as in the foundation on which they rest. He takes for granted that the treaty is good, and then goes about to prove it; whereas the treaty is bad, and thus his whole superstructure must fall.
FROM THE AURORA, Published by Benjamin Franklin Bache. To the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES.
SIR, THE proof of your fallibility may be deduced not only from the political history I have cited, and to which you have given all the sanction of your name and authority, than from the precipitate and extraordinary manner, in which you have executed the most important act of your life, the ratification of the British treaty.
Brown's evening gazette. This publication, as it invited, to it produced immediate public discussion. Town-meetings were quickly convened in Bolton, Charlestown, New-York, this City, Baltimore, Wilmington, Charlestown in South-Carolina, and various other places; all of which having testified their disapprobation of it, and actuated by the common apprehension that you would immediately proceed to act upon the treaty, dispatched by express, addresses and petitions, couched in terms of respectful decency, requesting and urging you to suspend or withhold your ratification.
NEW-YORK, September 19.
The following are extracts from a genuine letter from Burton in England, to a citizen in New-York, and a member of the Democratic Society, who has kindly handed us the same for publication.
MY DEAR FRIEND,
THE war, I'm sorry to say bids fair for continuance; at this very moment a powerful army invades the coast of France, composed of our own Regulars and the French Emigrant Regiments in our service, to act in conjunction with the royalists of Brittany and Normandy, and proclaim the new monarch.
I also believe another grand object with our executive, is totally to crush (if possible) the Dutch commerce, and annihilate it, as they have done by that of France! Indeed the war with Holland seems to give almost general satisfaction; her extensive commerce and rich prizes, are strong incentives to that love of plunder so natural to Sailors and Soldiers.
I think more popular than ever! and act just as they please: no wonder, when almost every person of property, in the nation is determined to support their measures—frightened at the excesses and instability of the French, and the idea of a revolution, they rush into the other extreme. I judge our Peasantry, Sailors, Soldiers, and Merchants, as very loyal, (a term you hate, but expressive of my meaning,) whilst the Manufacturers and Domestic in towns are many of them disaffected, but these latter are effectually restrained and kept in check by the Gentlemen and Yeomanry volunteers, who are regularly trained and accustomed to their duty, together with the Regulars, militia, Fencibles and Navy, (all vastly strengthened,) form between 4 and 500,000 men, in Great-Britain alone! This you may rely on as a fact, and believe me although such numbers have entered the navy, and army abroad, the country wherever I have been (far inland from Dover,) swarms with people!

party mount the rostrum, and glut the guillo- tine rarely!—The wonder is, that any sensible man are expose himself to such certain destruction. I firmly believe the people of France heartily wish for peace with England, in spite of the Convention- al bravadoes and Phillippics; and are as heartily tired of their revolutionary phrensy! I should be as loth to see their system introduced here, as for monarchy among your wise and happy republics.— Since the death of Robespierre, they treat our prisoners very kindly, and of late have released and set over most of our officers and ladies—but our seamen they wisely retain in durance vile."
Philadelphia, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1795. EXPORTS OF PENNSYLVANIA. The exports of the city of Philadelphia for three months, (April, May and June) 1795, were 3,898,400 dollars. Note. The exports of the whole year 1791, were only 3,854,969 dollars and 44 cents.
By Paris papers, received by the Four Friends, Capt. Gleng, we find, in the sitting of the French National Convention, on the 12th of July, the following letter was read from General Hoche, Commander-in-Chief of the republican armies on the coast near Breist, to the committee of public safety, dated
"Landesvan, July 4." The committee may be persuaded, that if I write it, it is not from negligence, but because very busy. The moment is come in which shells will be annihilated. Three times have republicans already made them feel the extent of our valour. We are but two leagues from the and when the committee receives this our country may have been avenged." Extract of a letter from a respectable character, dated Bermuda, August 3, via Norfolk.
It may not be amiss to inform you, that the privateers from this island, are bringing in all ves- sels from France indiscriminately, and all vessels from the continent bound to France with provisions on board. The Hamilton, from Alexandria, for France, arrived a few days ago. There are here now eighteen sail of American ships and brigs, and the conduct they are now observing to the captains and crews, is highly alarming and cruel. They leave no person on board the captured vessel, ex- cept the captain. The mates, seamen, passengers, &c, are kept on board the privateers, or ships of war, during the cruise, and made to do duty."
At a meeting of the inhabitants of the county of Philadelphia, at George Egbert's tavern, in the township of the Northern Liberties, on Saturday evening, the 19th September, 1795— It was unanimously agreed, That it is expedient and proper to fix upon a more general place for the county meeting, previous to the general election, than Germantown, the last place of meeting.
It was likewise unanimously agreed, That public notice be given, and public notice is hereby given to the inhabitants of the county of Philadelphia, that a meeting will be held on Saturday the third day of October next, at one o'clock, at the house of John Snyder, at the sign of the Robin Hood, in Poplar-lane, near Third-street, for the purpose of nominating suitable persons for the next general election, to represent the county of Philadelphia in the Senate and House of Representatives of the State.

ACTION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. Capt. BENNET, from St. Ubes, in 53 days, mentions, That a report was prevalent there, said to have been received from the Mediterranean, of an engagement between the French and English fleets in those Seas, in which the English lost Six ships of the Line. Both fleets we know have been at sea; and we have no later information to pre- vent our giving some credit to this News.

THE ARGUS. THE DEFENCE—No. XVII.
The eighth article provides merely, that the com- missioners to be appointed in the three preceding articles, shall be paid in such manner as shall be a- greed between the parties, at the time of the ex- change of the ratification of the treaty, and that all other expence attending the commissions shall be defrayed jointly by the two parties, the same being previously ascertained and allowed by a majority of the commissioners and that in case of death, sickness or necessary absence of a commissioner, his place shall be supplied in the same manner as he was ap- pointed; the new commissioner to take the same oath of affirmation, and to perform the same duties as his predecessor.
Could it have been imagined, that even this sim- ple and equitable provision was designed not to es- cape unenforced? as if it was predetermined that not a single line of the treaty should pass without the imputation of guilt; nothing less than an in- fraction of the constitution of the United States has been charged upon this article. It attempts, we are told, a disposition of the public money unwar- ranted by and contrary to the constitution. The examination of this wonderfully sagacious objection, with others of a similar complexion must be reserved for the separate discussion which has been promised of the constitutionality of the treaty.
Let us proceed for the present to the ninth arti- cle.
This article agrees, that British subjects, who now hold lands in the territories of the United States, and American citizens who now hold lands in the dominions of his Britannic majesty, shall con- tinue to hold them, according to the nature and ten- ure of their respective estates and titles therein; and may grant, sell or devise the same to whom they please in like manner as if, they were natives; and that neither they nor their heirs or assigns, so far as may respect the said lands and the legal reme- dies incident thereto, shall be regarded as aliens.
The misapprehension of this article which was first ushered into public view, in a very incorrect & injudicious shape, and was conceived to amount to the grant of an indefinite and permanent right to British subjects to hold lands in the United States did more it is believed, to excite prejudices against the treaty than any thing that is really contained in it. And yet when truly understood it is found to be nothing more than a confirmation of those rights to lands, which prior to the treaty, the laws of the several states allowed British subjects to hold; with this inconsiderable addition, perhaps that the heirs and assigns of those persons, though aliens may hold the same lands: but no right whatever is given to lands of which our laws did not permit and legal- ize the acquisition.
These propositions will now be elucidated.
The term, hold, in the legal code of Great Bri- tain and of these states, has the same and that a pre- cise technical sense.—It imports a capacity legally and rightfully to have and enjoy real estate, and is con- tradistinguished from the mere capacity of taking or purchasing which is sometimes applicable to the acquisition of a thing, that is forfeited by the very act of acquisition. Thus an alien may take real estate by purchase but he cannot hold it. Holding is sy- nonymous with tenure, which in the feudal system implies fealty of which an alien is incapable.— Land, therefore, is forfeited to the government, the instant it passes to an alien. The Roman law nullifies the contract entirely, so that nothing pas- ses by the grant of land to an alien; but our law derived from that of England, permits the land to pass for the purpose of forfeiture to the state.— This is not the case with regard to descent, because the succession or transmission there, being an act of law and the alien being disqualified to hold, the law consistent with itself calls no estate upon him.
The following legal authorities selected from an infinite number of similar ones, establish the a- bove positions, viz. Coke on Littleton, page 2, —3 "Some men have capacity to purchase but not a- bility to hold. Some capacity to purchase and a- bility to hold or not to hold, at the election of themselves and others. Some capacity to take & to hold. Some neither capacity to take nor to hold. And some are specially disabled to take some particular thing. If an alien christian or in- fidels purchase houses, lands, tenements, or heredita- ments to him and his heirs, albeit he can have no heirs, yet he is of capacity to take a fee simple but not to hold." The same, page 8. "If a man seized of land in fee, hath issue an alien he cannot be heir propter defectum Subjectionis." Blackstone's Commentaries, Book II. Chap. xviii. § 2. "Alienation to an alien is a cause of forfei- ture to the crown of the lands so alienated, not only on account of his incapacity to hold them, but likewise on account of his presumption in attempt- ing by an act of his own to acquire real property." Idem, Chap. xix. § 1. "the case of an alien born, is also peculiar, for he may purchase a thing but after purchase he can hold nothing, except a lease for a house for the convenience of merchan- dize."
Thus it is evident, that by the laws of England which, it will not be denied agree in principle with ours, an ALIEN may take but cannot hold lands.
It is equally clear, the laws of both countries, a- greeing in this particular, that the word hold , used in the article under consideration, must be under- stood according to those laws, and therefore can only apply to those cases in which there was a legal capacity to hold in other words, those in which our laws permitted the subject, and citizens of the two parties to hold lands in the territories of each other. Some of these cases existed prior to the treaty of peace, and where confiscations had not taken place, there has never been a doubt that the property was effectually protected by that treaty—Others have ar- isen since that treaty under special statutes, of par- ticular states; whether there are any others depend- ing on the principles of the common law, need not be enquired into here, since the late treaty will nei- ther strengthen nor impair the operation of those principles.
Whatever lands, therefore, may have been purcha- sed by any British subject since the treaty of peace, which the laws of the state wherein they were pur- chased did not permit him to acquire and hold, are entirely out of the protection of the article under
consideration; the purchase will not avail him; the forfeiture which was incurred by it is still in full force. As to those lands which the laws of a state allowed him to purchase and hold, he owes his title to them, not to the treaty.
Let us recur to the words of the article, "Brit- ish subjects who now hold lands shall continue to hold them according to the nature and tenure of their respec- tive estates and titles therein." But it has been seen that to hold lands is to own them in a legal and competent capacity, and that an alien has no such capacity. The lands, therefore, which by reason of the alienage of a British subject, he could not, prior to the treaty, legally purchase and hold—he cannot under the treaty continue to hold. As if it was designed to render the conclusion palpable, the provision goes on to say. "According to the na- ture and tenure of their respective estates and titles therein." This is equivalent to saying, they shall continue to hold as they before held. If they had no valid estate or title before, they will of course continue to have none—the expressions neither give any new, or enlarge any old estate.
The succeeding clauses relate only to descents or alienations of the land originally legally holden.— Here the disability of alienage is taken away from the heirs and assigns of primitive proprietors. While this will conduce to private justice, by enabling the families and friends of the individuals to enjoy their property by descent or devise, which, it is presu- mable, was the main object of the provision, there is no consideration of national policy that weighs a- gainst it. If we admit the whole force of the argu- ment, which opposes the expediency of permitting aliens to hold lands (and concerning which I shall barely remark here that it is contrary to the practice of several of the States, and to a practice to which some of them have hitherto derived material advan- tages) the extent to which the principle is affected by the present treaty is too much limited to be felt; and in the rapid mutations of property, it will every day diminish. Every alienation of a parcel of the privileged land to a citizen of the United States, will as to that land, by interrupting the chain, put an end to the future operation of the privilege; and the lapse of no great number of years may be expec- ted to make an entire revolution in the property, so as to divest the whole of the privilege.
To manifest the unreasonableness of the loud and virulent clamour, which was raised against this article, it has been observed by the friends of the instrument, that our treaty with France not only grants a much larger privilege to the citizens of France, but goes the full length of removing uni- versally and perpetually from them the disability of alienism, as to the ownership of lands. This position has been flatly denied by some of the wri- ters on the other side. Decius, in particular, after taking pains to show that it is erroneous—that the terms "goods moveable and immoveable," in the article of our treaty with France, mean only chat- tels real and personal in the sense of our law, and excludes a right to the freehold and inheritance of lands, triumphantly plumes himself on the detec- tion of the fallacy of the writer of certain "Candid remarks on the Treaty," who gives the interpreta- tion above stated to that article.
The error of Decius's interpretation, proceeds from a misunderstanding of the term goods in the English translation of the Article, to which he an- nexes the meaning assigned to that term in our law, instead of resorting, as he ought to have done, to the French laws for the true meaning of the corre- spondent term biens , which is that used in the French original. Goods in our law, no doubt, mean chattel interests; but goods or "biens" in the French law, means all kinds of property, real as well as per- sonal. It is equivalent to, and derived from the term bona in the Roman law, answering most nearly to "estates" in our law, and embracing inheritances in land, corporeal and incorporeal hereditaments, as well as property in moveable things. When it is necessary to distinguish one species from another, it is done by an adjective— biens meubles et immeubles ," answering to bona or res mobilia, or immobilia , things moveable and im- moveable, estates real and personal.

Philadelphia, September 23.
This morning about 4 o'clock, a fire broke out in a small wooden building near the corner of Vine and Water-streets, which consumed the fame.
Letters by this day's mail from New-York con- tinue to detail the unpleasing circumstances attend- ant on the raging sickness in that City.—The change of the weather has not produced any favor- able change in relation to the Disorder.—The alarm has at length become general, and the people are moving out of the City in great numbers. The Markets are very thinly attended—sixteen stalls are said to be vacated in the Fly Market.
The Butchers of Philadelphia acquired great credit in the time of the yellow fever in this city; by continuing to attend the market thro' the whole time. Those of New York, will we doubt not, follow so good an example. Thousands must re- main at all events in the city, and those thousands must be fed.

FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO, A Little Plain Truth to the Jacobins of America. IF the secret history of this debt contracted in France was published, it would discover the ori- gin of many fortunes which have astonished us. It is certain, for instance that M. de Vergennes dispo- sed of those loans at pleasure, caused military stores and merchandizes to be furnished by persons at- tached to him, and suffered not their accounts to be disputed. It is a fact that in his accounts with Congress, there was one million of livres that he never accounted for, after all the demands that were made to him. It is likewise a fact, that out of the forty seven millions pretended to be furnish- ed in the above articles by France to Congress, the employment of twenty-one millions is without voucher. Many fortunes may be made from twenty-one millions.
M. Beaumarchais, in a memoir published two years ago, pretends to be the creditor of Congress for millions. I have in my hands, a report made to Congress by two respectable members, in which they prove, that he now owes Congress 742,413 livres and a million more, if the wandering million above mentioned, has fallen into his hands. These reporters make a striking picture of the manœuvres practiced to deceive the Americans.
Will not the National Assembly cause some ac- count to be rendered of the sums squandered in our part of the American War? or rather the sums which, instead of going to succour those brave strugglers for liberty, went to adorn the bed-cham- ber of an actress? Adeline did more mischief to the Americans, than a regiment of Hessians.
Where are the accounts of her favorite Veymer- ange? Why has not Mr. Neckar drawn the impen- etrable veil which screens them from the public? and he himself has nothing to answer for the choice he made of corrupted, weak, and wicked a- gents, and the facility with which he ratified their accounts?

No. 59 South Water Street.
THE Subscriber respectfully begs leave to inform his friends and the public in general, that he has removed from No. 166 South 2d Street, to that large, commo- dious, House in Water Street, between Chestnut and Walnut Streets, lately occupied by Mr. Isaac Haackburgh, and on which he has spared no pains or expense, to make it con- venient and agreeable for the reception of gentlemen. The House being situated on the same spot where the noted Beef Steak and Punch house formerly stood, has the advantage of the best water in this city, known long since by the name of the Green Tree Water. As there are several elegant Rooms, sufficiently large to accommodate any Society or company of gentlemen, and from his well known abilities to please in the line of his business, he flatters himself with a continuance of that patronage which he has experienced since he first opened a Public House in this City, and for which he begs leave to make a public acknowledgment. For the accommodation of Small Parties, the Large Coffee Room on the ground floor is conveniently fitted up with a number of Boxes, constructed in such a man- ner as to admit Gentlemen to be as private as they please— Where may be had, at any hour, Soups, Beef-steaks, Relishes, &c. &c.
He has on hand, and will keep a constant supply of Spi- rituous and Malt Liquors, and of the best qualities. Breakfasts provided—Also Dinners and Suppers cook- ed in the most approved manner, at a short notice, and a par- try of all sorts, made to order, in the House, or to fend out at any hour.
He has several well furnished Bed Chambers, for Board- ers and Lodgers, by the Week, month, or year. SAMUEL FRUNCES.

EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, AUG. 1791, p. 468. “It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanied a young officer to America—the marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is poisoned, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover and treachery of his friend.”
The situations are artless and affecting—the description natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.”

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty-four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this Important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the inor. suspension indispensable.

PROPOSALS
By Benjamin Davies & Wm. W. Woodward.
FOR printing, by Subscription.
THE ANCIENT HISTORY OF THE Egyptians, Medes, and Carthaginians, Persians, Assyrians, Macedonians, and Babylonians, Grecians.
By the justly celebrated M. Rollin: Late Principal of the University of Paris, Professor of Eloquence in the Royal College, and Member of the Royal Academy of Inscriptions & Belles Lettres.
TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH. “In this work appears the same principles of religion, of probity, and the same happy endeavours to improve the minds of youth, which are so conspicuous in all the writings of this author.” “What you write,” says the learned bishop of Rochester, to the author, “may undoubtedly be read with pleasure and improvement, by persons not unacquainted in the learning of the same kind; for while you call to mind ancient facts, and things sufficiently known, you do it in such a manner, that you illustrate, you embellish them, still adding something new to the old, something entirely your own to the labours of others; by placing good pictures in a good light, you make them appear with unusual elegance, and more exalted beauties, even to those who have seen and studied them most.”
