THE DEFENCE.—No. XII.
[CONCLUDED.]
Though it will be partly a digression, I cannot forbear, in this place to notice some observations of Cato in his 10th number. After stating, that in 1784, the peltry from Canada sold in London for 230,000. sterling, he proceeds to observe, that, excluding, the territories of the Hudson's Bay Company, nine tenths of this trade is within the limits of the United States; and though, with studied ambiguity of expression, he endeavours to have it understood, that nine tenths of the trade which yielded the peltry, that sold for 230,000. sterling in 1784, was within our territories.
What part of this territory does not still belong to him, is a point not yet settled. The treaty of peace between the United States and Great Britain, supposes that part will remain to Great Britain; for one line of boundary between us and her, designated by that treaty, is a line due west from the lake of the woods to the Mississippi.
2. It is upon the suggestion of Great Britain having no ports on the Mississippi, that the charge of want of reciprocity in the privilege granted, with regard to the use of that river, is founded. The suggestion has been shown to be more peremptory than is justified by facts. Yet it is still true, that the ports on our side bear no proportion to any that can exist on the part of the British, according to some statements rate it between six eighths and seven eighths.
to the present state of territory. It will be examined in a subsequent place, how far this disproportion is a proper rule in the climate of reciprocity. But let it be observed in the mean time, that in judging of the reciprocity of an article, it is to be taken collectively. If upon the whole, the privileges obtained are as valuable as those granted, there is a substantial reciprocity; and to this test, upon full and fair examination of the article, I freely refer the decision.
3. The agreement to forbear to lay duties of entry on peltries, is completely defensible on the following grounds, viz. It is the general policy of commercial nations, to exempt raw materials from duty. This has likewise been the uniform policy of the United States, and it has particularly embraced the article of peltries, which by our existing laws may be imported into any part of the United States, free from duty.
Such a duty then being contrary to our established system and to true principles, there can be no objection to a stipulation against it. As to its having the effect of making our country the channel of the British trade in peltries, this, if true, and it is indeed probable, could not but promote our interest.
4. The fourth of the above enumerated suggestions is answered in its principal point by the practice just stated, of drawing back the duties on imported articles, when articles are re-exported. This would place the articles, which we should send into the British territories, exactly upon the same footing as to duties with the same articles, imported there from Europe.
5. As to the small population of Canada, which is urged to depreciate the advantages of the trade with the white inhabitants of those countries, it is to be observed, that this population is not stationary. If the date of the census be rightly quoted, it was taken eleven years ago, when there were already 123,082 souls.
6. With regard to the supposed danger of smuggling, in the intercourse permitted by this article, it is very probable it will be found less than if it were prohibited. Intirely to prevent trade between bordering territories, is a very arduous, perhaps an impracticable task. If not authorized, so much as is carried on must be illicit, and it may be reasonably presumed, that the extent of illicit trade will be much greater in that case, than where an intercourse is permitted under the usual regulations, and guards.
7. The pretended inequality of the article, as arising from the greater extent of the United States than of the British territories, is one of those fanciful positions which are so apt to haunt the brains of visionary politicians. Traced through all its consequences, it would terminate in this, that a great empire could never form a treaty of commerce with a small one; for to equalize advantages according to the scale of territory, the small state must compensate for its deficiency in extent by a greater quantum of positive privilege in proportion to the difference of extent, which would give the larger state the monopoly of its trade.
the case of Holland? for the United States are one hundred times larger than the United Provinces.
But how are we sure, that the extent of the United States is greater than the territories of Great Britain on our continent? We know that she has pretensions to extend to the Pacific Ocean, and to embrace a vast wilderness, incomparably larger than the United States, and we are told, as already mentioned, that her trading establishments now actually extend beyond the 56th degree of north latitude, and 117th degree of west longitude.
Shall we be told (hissing the original ground) that not extent of territory, but extent of population, is the measure? Then how great is the advantage which we gain in this particular, by the treaty at large? The population of Great Britain is to that of the United States, about two and a half to one; and the comparative concession by her in the trade between her European dominions and the United States, must be in the same ratio.
But the rule is in fact, an absurd one, and only merits the notice which has been taken of it, to exhibit the weak grounds of the opposition to the treaty. The great standard of reciprocity is equal privilege. The adventitious circumstances which may render it more beneficial to one party than the other, can seldom be taken into the account, because they can seldom be estimated with certainty—the relative extent of country or population, is of all others, a fallacious guide.
The comparative resources and facilities for mutual supply, regulate the relative utility of a commercial privilege; and as far as population is concerned, it may be laid down as a general rule, that the smallest population graduates the scale of the trade on both sides, since it is at once the principal measure of what the smallest state can furnish to the greater, and of what it can take from the greater, or in other words, of what the greater state can find a demand for in the smaller state.
In the case of a trade by land and inland navigation, the sphere of the operation of any privilege, can only extend a certain distance. When the distance to a given point, through a particular channel, is such that the expense of transportation would render an article dearer than it could be brought through another channel to the same point, the privilege to carry the article through that particular channel to such point, becomes of no avail.
The objectors to the treaty have marshalled against this article a quaint figure, of which from the use of it in different quarters, it is presumable they are not a little enamoured; it is this, that the article enables Great Britain to draw a line of circumvallation round the United States. They hope to excite prejudice, by presenting to the mind, the image of a siege or investment of the country.
Can any good reason be given, why one side of a country should not be necessary to foreigners for purposes of trade equally with another? Might not the cultivators on the side from which they were excluded, have cause to complain, that the carriage of their productions was subject to an increased charge by a monopoly of the national navigation; while the cultivators in other quarters enjoyed the benefit of a competition between that and foreign navigation?
The argument upon this article, has hitherto turned, as to the trade with the white inhabitants of the British territories on European and East India goods. But there can be no doubt that a mutually beneficial commerce in native commodities ought to be included in the catalogue of advantages.
In considering the subject on the side of a trade in home commodities, it is an important reflection, that the United States are much more advanced in industrious improvement, than the British territories.
In proportion as the article is viewed on an enlarged plan and permanent scale, its importance to us magnifies. Who can say how far British colonization may spread southward and down the west side of the Mississippi, northward and westward into the vast interior regions towards the Pacific ocean? Can we view it as a matter of indifference, that this new world is eventually laid open to our enterprise, to an enterprise seconded by the immense advantage already mentioned, of a more improved state of industry?

obtaining a free communication with all the territories that environ our country from the St. Mary's to the St. Croix.
In this large view of the subject, the fur trade, which has made a very prominent figure in the discussion, becomes a point scarcely visible. Objects of great variety and magnitude, start up in perspective, eclipsing the little atoms of the day, and promising to grow and mature with time.
The result of the whole is, that the United States make by the third article of the treaty, a good bargain—that with regard to the fur trade, with equality of privileges and superior advantages of situation, we take one against seven, or at most one against six—that as to the trade in European and East Indian goods and in home productions, we make an equal stake, with some advantages of situation—that we open an immense field of future enterprise—that we avoid embarrassments and dangers ever attendant on an artificial and prohibitory policy, which in reference to the Indian nations was particularly difficult and hazardous—and that we secure those of a natural and liberal policy, and give the fairest chances to good neighborhood between the United States and the bordering British territories, and consequently of good understanding with Great Britain, conducing to the security of our peace. Experience, no doubt, will demonstrate that the horrid spectres which have been conjured up are fictions; and if it should even be slow to realize the predicted benefits, (for time will be requisite to give permanent causes their due effect in controlling temporary circumstances) it will at last prove, that the predicted evils are chimeras and cheats.
CAMILLUS.
From the [New-York] Daily Advertiser.
To those Printers throughout the United States who are friendly to our happiness and existence as a nation.
IT is no longer a matter of conjecture, but of serious fact, ascertained by direct testimony, that there exists in this country an association, the object of which is, the destruction of the Federal Government; with a view possibly, to erect upon its ruins separate and independent sovereignties. The names of some of the traitors are already discovered; and why they have not been set to the bar of justice; is best known to those with whom that power is placed: certain it is, that the great spirits have as yet escaped, whilst the poor deluded instruments of their wicked machinations, have been apprehended and dragged before the feet of judgment.
To effect a purpose of such magnitude and temerity, and to form a chain of treason co-extensive with the United States; those who for a time exercised the arts of fly intrigue, at length accomplished an open rebellion, and, although this was happily suppressed, it has again assumed the appearance of conspiracy grown confident.
This is clearly evinced, by the undignified complexion of certain publications which have appeared in Mr. Bache's paper under the signatures of Hancock and Valerius, and of another at Richmond, inviting the people to insurrection.
Those authors, well persuaded, that if the administration of our government can be rendered unimportant, or contemptible in the estimation of the people, it must of course be inefficient, have undertaken to assail the official conduct, and traduce the character of the first magistrate of the union.
Many considerations present themselves upon a view of this desperate, but I presume abortive effort. These considerations however, with many others, will be reserved for a few lines to Valerius and his associates, and an address to the citizens at large.
I have observed that the publications alluded to, are noticed by very few of our Printers.—Altho' this omission may be evidence of their respect for the constituted authorities and happiness of the country, it is deemed by many an ill-judged policy, because every man who reads those publications, will be convinced that, disorganization is their only object, and that it is one great link in the chain of conspiracy. The more generally therefore they are circulated, the more extensively of course will the parricidous designs of the authors be exposed to the observation of the people. 'Tis therefore with regard that all the Printers would publish Hancock and Valerius.
Go on Valerius, don't shrink—be ready to your purpose—because much real good will arise out of your evil intentions. You and your accomplices have to be sure been defeated in one great project—but make another, may a third attempt, for nil defraudum must be your motto.

From the Maryland Herald, &c.
Mr. Cowan.
THERE are some very cogent reasons why a war would be a good thing—whether the treaty be rejected or not—The whisky patriots of Pennsylvania would set themselves loose from the tax upon their pleasures—and elsewhere the excise must fall—because it would not do to force the payment of it at a time when an external enemy engaged our attention, and might with to come in to settle any internal convulsion. The tax upon carriages would be unpaid in Virginia—and it would not do to march troops against them—The gentlemen of the snuff box might by some address too get rid of so unhandy a tax as that which is paid through the nose—These patriots made a good deal of noise upon its adoption—and tried to blind the eyes of Congress by throwing their pungent dust—but as most of the members take snuff I have been told who voted for it, the daily attendance of some of the Philadelphia snuff makers is said to have produced no other convulsion in the house except that of sneezing among the young members.—At present the country is amazingly well supplied with goods—enough to last two years—The merchant who has the luck to have a good quantity in hand would be very much benefited, as goods would instantly rise perhaps double, and he could buy very cheap of the farmer—and really the farmers have now grown rich enough—and as money is the root of evil they ought
to get rid of it by a good roaring war—besides that all brave nations go to war every twelve years to keep the hand in and get rid of superfluous wealth which is said to make people idle and effeminate.
But the best reason is certainly that during the hurry-burly of war and a little internal animation, if men managed their cards well we might get rid of all the federal taxes by amending the constitution: i. e. admitting "old Conti," again with a few other little alterations about funds and national debts, and courts, and the Senate, and a President, and such like, too numerous to mention in the present times, when a word will do as much as belong to the gang.
Yours, Mr. Cowan,
One of the Right Sort.
From the MORNING CHRONICLE.
LONDON, June 30.
The Paris papers, from the 22d to the 25th, both days inclusive, have brought the long expected report of the commission of Eleven upon the Constitution. From the destruction in which the memory of the principal authors of the Constitution of 1793 is now held, it was not to be imagined that much respect would be paid to it by those who have punished their crimes, or supplanted them in power. In the report of the Commission, it is accordingly treated as a concentration of the elements of disorder, the organization of anarchy, and consigned to the same tomb with those under whose influence it was drawn up and adopted.
It was indeed of little value, perhaps even in the opinion of its authors. They had long attacked the party of the Gironde upon their dilatoriness in preparing a Constitution, and drew upon its leaders no small degree of odium, by representing them as wilfully protracting the great work for the sake of prolonging their own power. When they got into power themselves, they were determined not to incur the same reproach. They produced a Constitution which they often boasted to have been the labour of no more than a fortnight; submitted it to the acceptance of the Primary Assemblies; and immediately declared it in a state of abeyance during the continuance of the war. Had they been the best intended, and the most enlightened of mankind, a constitution put together in such haste, and under such circumstances, could have contained little more than general principles, without the means of practical use.
However dangerous it may be to say a word except in praise of our own coalition, it is yet allowable to comment freely on a plan of constitution for the French. The commission of eleven, by introducing property as a necessary qualification for a legislator fundamentally contradicted their own principles. Property is no where the measure either of talents or integrity. Altho' no where justly entitled to more than protection, it will every where give to the possessor a considerable degree of influence, be his real worth ever so small.
To add to that influence by positive institution is to aggravate an inconvenience in society, perhaps insurmountable, but which it ought to be the study of the law-giver to render as little felt as possible.—It is to lay a foundation for an aristocracy of wealth, the most ignorant, the most sordid, and the most oppressive of all aristocracies.
The commission has introduced another measure of the legislative capacity, viz. that of age. This, although a very imperfect criterion of wisdom, has been adopted more or less by all societies. It is the best, and the least invidious that has yet been found, and is as applicable to the elected. By proper application of it, the inconvenience of assemblies held for the purposes of election degenerating, from their number, into mobs, might be more beneficially prevented than by any other mode. Our common law does not entrust a man with the management of his own affairs till twenty-one; where would be the injury, in not entrusting him with the management of public affairs till he had acquired a few years experience in managing his own?
It is proposed, at a future period, to restrain the right of electing to such as can read and write, or learned some mechanical trade. These will be good and reasonable limitations, if proper care be taken that every man shall have it easily in his power to qualify himself.
The commission proposes to exclude from exercising the rights of citizenship, servants, and all who are not inscribed in the Register of their Canton, as paying a certain contribution. This is neither more nor less than reviving the division of the constituent assembly into active or inactive citizens. It is liable to all the objections of the legislative qualification, with this addition, that it takes in the lower class of people subject to the payment of direct taxes, in every community the most dependent and the most exposed to improper influence of all kinds, to the exclusion of those who, without being subject to direct taxes, live upon the means or their industry, and are generally the most independent.
The experience of five years has amply proved the necessity of dividing the legislative body into two Sections.
PROVIDENCE, August 29.
COMMUNICATION.
In addition to the entertainment to be derived from the classical exercises on Wednesday next, we may expect the highest gratification from Mr. Harper and Company. The New Theatre, large and commodious, will then be opened; and the lovers of the Drama receive the highest pleasure which that entertainment is calculated to afford. From the accommodations of the Theatre, and the talents of the performers, much may be expected. The man of taste and sentiment is invited to attend at the opening of a Temple dedicated to Apollo and the Muses.
LANSINGBURGH, August 25.
The President of the United States has ratified the Treaty negotiated by Mr. Jay with England, agreeably to the mode advised by the Senate. Viewing the United States "as one great whole," without any partial or local reference whatever, the MAN of the People has, by this official act, declared the Treaty favourable to this country—and when it is examined with an impartial eye, every one must acknowledge it the most favourable Treaty we have with any European nation.
By the Treaty with France, we are restricted to two free ports in their European dominions, to one or more even ports in the West-Indies, but have no liberty to even call at any of their ports in India. By the Treaty with Holland, we expressly reserve to them the commerce of their East and West-India possessions.
NEW-YORK, September 2.
It was stated in our paper of yesterday that communication with this city is yet open, except in one instance. We are since informed the intercourse with Philadelphia, and one or two towns in Connecticut, is prohibited.
We cannot reason with fear; but we can contradict false reports. The accounts of sickness in this city must be amazingly exaggerated, to justify our brethren in this country in suspending all communication with us. From authentic accounts we can aver that New-York generally is healthier this year than it was the last, and healthier than some of the towns that have prohibited intercourse with this city. What turn the fever may take hereafter, cannot be determined. The fever is the same that has appeared in some parts of this city, at this season, for four years past, it is the same as appears every season in the southern States, but its malignity and the degree of contagion depend on season or local causes. At present it is so little contagious as to afford no ground for serious alarm.
The citizens of Trenton who passed resolutions in disapprobation of the Treaty, have notwithstanding signed a declaration, that they consider it a duty to acquiesce in the constitutional measures respecting its ratification.
Philadelphia,
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1795.
A letter from New-York to a gentleman in this city, dated yesterday, says—that a proclamation was to be made to the Authority there, that a proclamation may be issued to cut off the communication of Philadelphia with New-York, as they conceived that such a measure would be founded in greater propriety on account of danger, than the late proclamation of the governor of Pennsylvania.

NATIONAL CONVENTION, 16 Florial, May 8. Dufayx. You have honoured by your bounties the last days of the citizen Barthelemy . Our successors, it is not to be doubted, will hasten to concur in his memory, when the delay the law has fixed will permit them.
Let his former friend anticipate their kindness, and trace to you, in a few words, the rare qualities of this Master of French literature; it will be sufficient, perhaps, to say to you, as Xenophon said of the profound learning and simplicity of one of his cotemporaries: Barthelemy was an excellent man in every point of view. In effect, those who knew him did not know which to admire most, his immortal Anacharsis , or the dignified conduct of his whole life.
All his politics consisted in benevolence. The immense treasure of his science served only to purify the manners, to perfect taste, to make mankind more friendly, and contribute to the splendour of his country. A single trait will paint to you the goodness of his philanthropic soul. "Why is not the power given to a mortal," he would often say, "to bequeath happiness!" Sublime wish! But he suddenly became poor, after having been covered with the favours of fortune, whom he always mistroust, and who, inasmuch for him, had found him out. Far from losing by this, he acquired new means of displaying himself in a new aspect; and he proved, that intelligence worthily supported, was not less honourable than beneficent wealth. Soon after, persecuted, as all the enlightened and virtuous citizens were, he carried into the dungeons of
tyranny, which you have so gloriously destroyed, the company and serenity of Socrates. It was there this venerable Octogenarian offered to his companion, in misfortune the magnific spectacle of a good man thriving with adversity.
I have said he was once rich; but let us not forget that his income was expended for the benefit of the unfortunate. Besides, he adopted all the children of his numerous family; the republic has thereby gained good citizens, who have for her this day in a manner most useful and honourable.
Barthelemy foreknew the term of his career; he was worn out by long labours, and bowed down under the burthen of years; but all his sensibility awoke on the report of your just orations, particularly when he learnt that you intended to repair, as much as in your power lay, the unheeded misfortunes of so many thousand innocent men, reduced to misery the most frightful, and truly worthy of respect and pity; then, lifting his hands to heaven, "Glory to God," cried he, "honour to the national convention; I have lived long enough."
Our country at this time, waits for you to do him honour; I will therefore confine myself to requesting one favour, which will rejoice the names of the illustrious Barthelemy . One of his nephews, I do not speak of our worthy amba ador at Haïti , but of the citizen Courcay , his brother, who for the space of twenty-five years has fulfilled all the duties of a tender and respectful son, and who has supposed his place a long time as keeper of the medals and antiquities in the national cabinet; I demand that this good citizen be continued in the place which he has exercised with so much assiduity and success.
The national convention decreed the impression of the discourse, the insertion of it in the bulletin, and referred the demand to the committee of public instruction.
BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
NEW-YORK, September 3.
KINGSTON, [Jm.] July 25.
BY the Lucretia , Simpson arrived at this port in 24 days from Grenada, we have the following intelligence: The day before she failed a vessel arrived, with an account of one of our 74 gun ships having fallen in with, and compelled to strike, after a few shot from the upper tier, a large French frigate, off the island of St. Thomas. On running up along side, and preparing to take possession, the infamous commander of the frigate again hoisted his colours, and fired into the 74, by which several men were killed. Justly incensed at such atrocious conduct, the lower ports were instantly opened, and a broadside poured in, which blew the Republican to atoms, and in a few moments not a vestige of her was to be seen.
The humane conduct of the nobility of Denmark, deserves recording and imitation. After the late dreadful fire in Copenhagen, the hereditary Prince Federick relinquished his palace in favour of some of the sufferers, and daily had victuals prepared for their sustenance. The Duke of Augustenberg , on receiving the news of the disaster, sent an officer of his palace. By the orders of the King the magistracy of Copenhagen removed their court to the general post-office; in order to give similar accommodation. We have generally noticed a good understanding to prevail in that kingdom, between the people and the privileged orders.

BOSTON, August 29.
NEWS from EUROPE.
We learn by private letters from Bilboa , in Spain of as late dates as July 6, that the war was carried on in that quarter with the greatest activity and vigour. A few days before the date of the last letters, the French attacked and carried the Spanish lines, with great slaughter on both sides; and at the time of writing the letters, the French and Spanish were continually engaged, with various success. The first arrival from that quarter, must we think, bring the details of important advices.
In the North, nothing interesting has occurred since the surrender of Luxembourg . The army under Gen. Pichegru , it is said, has passed the Rhine; and it is expected will attack the Prince de Cobourg.
We are happy to hear that the labour of our industrious husbandmen, is likely this year to be rewarded with large and good crops of every species of grain, and other produce.—This is the best news that can be published.
The British government has granted a loan of one million and an half sterling, to the merchants and planters of Grenada and St. Vincent.
The new constitution of France contains much more efficiency, in several parts, than that of the United States. The election is not, however, so free as in America, as it disfranchises those who cannot read and write their names. Notwithstanding which it was received with loud applause by the spectators who heard it. After it was read, it was ordered to be printed, and sent to the several communes (towns) of the Republic, and the discussion of it in the Convention postponed to the 16th Messidor, (July 4.)
It is rather singular—but we are assured by a gentleman of information, that it is nevertheless true, that the treaty is as much condemned at Halifax, as being altogether favorable to America, as it is on the other hand, in the United States. Mr. Grenville is condemned for being overreached therein by Mr. Jay.

To be positively SOLD,
To the best and highest bidder, On Saturday Evening, September 5th,
Precisely at 8 o'clock, at the Merchants' Coffee-House, South
Second-street, Philadelphia.
ALL that well-known, beautiful and well-finished
BUILDING, lately completed (and formed of the
materials) by Joseph Cooke, on the corner of South
Third and Market-streets, being 81 feet front on Third-
street, and 26 feet on Market-street; built seven stories
high, including garrets and two under ground, ranges of
kitchens, pantries, necessaries, and wood vaults, with an
area round the entire, iron grating; the whole being now
divided into three separate houses, with an elegant geometrical
stair-case to each, with continued mahogany hand
rail six stories high, and a pump of fine water at the foot
of each stair case; the fourth house of which is 20 feet
front, and now leased to Mr. Andre for two years from
the first of October next, at 300l. per annum, but would
now let for 400l; from which it is evident the whole
would rent for 1000l. or upwards, being 107 feet
front, equally well built, much more convenient, and of
superior stead, the corner commanding two fronts; the
middle house is unoccupied, and immediate possession can
be had of it. The proprietor will rent the corner of the
purchaser, or remove at three months notice. The whole
of the premises are finished, from garret to cellar, in the
most elegant European style, with handsome mantles, marble
chimney pieces, Venetian windows and doors, secret
nailed floors, and elegantly palisaded and ornamented
round the roof. At the expense of two doors in the second
story, the whole may be turned into a most capital
dwelling, which, for size and convenience for a public
Coffee-Room, is not now to be equalled in the United
States, it being 81 feet long, and 26 wide with 5 fire
places, and the third story may be made the same size with
convenience, the fourth story and garrets are turned into a
number of lodging rooms. The ceilings are elegantly or
namented with spacious cornices, &c the fashes are all double
hung, from garret to cellar, and there is upwards of
3000 lights of glass in the building, with several doors of
looking glass. The floors are spacious, shelved and coun-
tered in the newest style, and fit for any kind of business,
as the stand is not to be equalled; indeed it far exceeds the
limits of an advertisement to describe the convenience and
elegance of this building—suffice it to say, that it is the
most extensive property, and will rent for more than any
other on the same scale of ground in the United States—it
cost the proprietor a very large sum of money, together
with three years strict application to the various mechanics
employed in the execution thereof; and he now hopes to
receive a compensation for his labor, which if he does, no
doubt he will continue to beautify the city; but be that as
it may, the whole must and will positively be sold without
reserve; subject to a ground rent of £. 200 per annum, or
if sold in separate tenements, each one to be subject to a
third of the ground rent.
Terms. One fourth of the purchase to be paid in hand
on the execution of the deed, the remainder in three equal
payments of 3, 6 and 9 months, with interest. The ground
plan and elevations of the premises may be seen at the Coffee
house, and for further particulars apply to the propri-
etor, JOSEPH COOKE, on the premises, or to
William Shannon, Auctioneer.

ADVERTISEMENT.
THE Grammar School formerly attached to this
College, having gradually declined through the
increasing infirmities of the late President for some
time before his death, it is proposed by the subscriber
immediately to revive it, and to put it under the most
careful instruction and government. The Latin,
Greek, and French Languages shall be taught in it, to-
gether with the principles of English Grammar, of
Geography, and practical Geometry. Parents, like-
wise, who do not desire that their children should go
through the entire course of studies in the College,
may now have them instructed in any particular
branches in the same manner, on the same terms, and
to the same extent as in the College—particularly in
the antiquities and mythology of Rome, in Geogra-
phy, in the Mathematics, in Natural Philosophy and
Astronomy, in Moral Philosophy and the Principles
of Civil Government, in Eloquence, and in the Ele-
ments of History. They may address their children
to any of the Masters in the College, or to
SAMUEL S. SMITH.
N. B. The young gentlemen shall be under the
same rules of moral discipline as the other Students—
shall be subjected to public examinations, and, at leav-
ing the College, shall be entitled to public testimonials
of the branches they have studied, and of their pro-
ficiency in them.
P. S. The School is already opened, and under the
direction of Mr. SCOTT.

PLUTARCH'S LIVES.
With Notes, Historical and Critical, and the Life of Plutarch,
by John and William Langhorne.
THE Editors think it would be an inuendo on common un-
derstanding, to expatiate on the merits of this work: they
content themselves with giving the following quotation
from the Preface:
"If the merits of a work may be estimated from the uni-
versality of its reception, PLUTARCH'S LIVES have a claim
to the first honors of literature. No book has been more
generally sought after, or read with greater avidity. It
was one of the first that was brought out of the retreats of the
learned, and translated into the modern languages.
CONDITIONS.
I. This work shall be
printed in weekly numbers,
of sixty-four pages, at twenty-
five cents each, payable
