JACOB MIDDLECALF.
From the Literary Magazine,
A DESCRIPTION OF NEW-ORLEANS.
NEW-ORLEANS has become of so much importance by its transfer to the United States, and by being the resort of so many adventurers from the Atlantic coast, that we may naturally feel some curiosity respecting its real condition.
The following account of that city was drawn up by one who resided a considerable time within its precincts, before it passed under its present governors, and may afford no small instruction to those who have any thoughts of emigrating thither, or who are desirous of knowing something of a place lately so much talked of.
New-Orleans is situated on the eastern shore of the Mississippi, in north latitude 29 degrees, 57 minutes and 28 seconds, and in west longitude 90 degrees and 14 minutes, from Greenwich. It stands on a kind of peninsula, and, though apparently belonging to West Florida, does in fact form a part of Louisiana, of which it is the capitol. It is laid out on Penn's plan, with the streets crossing each other at right angles; and contains fifteen rows of streets, from N. E. to S. W. and seven rows in the opposite direction. It lies about 150 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, following the river; but across the country by land it is not more than 21 miles. The number of houses may be about a thousand, and the area of the city about 300 acres, the whole of which, however, is not built over, as many of the squares at the N. W. end are entirely void of houses. The principal buildings are as near the river as the plan of the town will admit; and houses situated near this spot are of more value than those situated farther back from the Mississippi. Fronting the river, and at an equal distance from each end of the town, there is a public square, left open as well for the purpose of beauty and ornament, as to expose to view a church which stands at the farther end of it. This church is a plain brick building of the Ionic order, and is the best edifice in the place. The other buildings are, the government house, the magazine of stores, the barracks, and the convent; the latter contains thirty or forty nuns; they are all very plain buildings, and attract very particular attention.
The whole of the city, except the side next to the river, is defended by a fortification, consisting of five bastions regularly laid out, and furnished with banquette, rampart, parapet, ditch, covert-way, and glacis: the curtains are nothing more than a line of palisades about four feet high, which are set at a small distance from each other, and consequently penetrable by musket-ball; these palisades are furnished with a banquette within, and a trifling ditch and glacis without. In the middle of each curtain there is a small redoubt or ravelin. The bastions have each sixteen embrasures, viz. four in each face, three in each flank, and two in the gorge to face the city. However, the whole of the works are very ill supplied with cannon, which I found arose from real scarcity; and by late accounts from this place it appears, that these defects have not yet been remedied. There was but two of the bastions that mounted more than four or five pieces of cannon. The eastern bastion, however, which defends the lower end of the city, had its full complement, besides the same number in the covert-way. The reason of this pecuniary measure I was unable to ascertain; for they could hardly apprehend an attack from below, as the river is well defended about eighteen miles farther down, and no nation would think of attacking it against the stream, which is exceedingly rapid. The only places which defended the town from above were the S. W. bastion, and a small redoubt on the bank of the river. This bastion was supplied with about twelve pieces of cannon, and was furnished besides with a counterguard and traverses; the redoubt had five pieces of cannon mounted. But, of all this force, not above ten pieces could be brought to bear upon any body of men coming down the river; and if they once effected a land-

ing on the open banks, which would be no difficult thing, as they are almost defenceless, the bastions would be of no farther service. The fortification of this place is not much security against even a few well disciplined troops led on by a skillful commander possessing a good local knowledge of the country: the number of Spanish soldiers kept up here is very trifling; so much so, that the inhabitants of the place are obliged to perform garrison duty, an office of which they complain bitterly. In fact, a spirit of disaffection appeared to run through the whole town, and they seemed ready to favour any attempts that were likely to relieve them from the Spanish yoke.
There are six gates, the two most considerable are near the river; the next in importance are the two at the back of the town, one of which leads to lake Pontchartrain: these last are defended by a small breast-work, which, however, is a mere apology for a defence. The gates are of wood, and formed of palisades about ten or twelve feet high. They are shut every night at nine o'clock, after which time they are not opened without much difficulty; and at this hour it is ordered that no one is to be seen about the streets, unless by permission of the governor; though except in the case of negroes and servants, the hour is generally extended to eleven, after which time all persons seen about the streets are stopped by the guard, and detained till morning.
The Mississippi, being subject to an annual overflow, like the Nile, is kept within its proper bed by a mound of earth thrown up along the shore: this is called the levee , and varies in height according to the surface of the adjoining country, from two to three, and even four feet. It commences at Detour des Angles , eighteen miles below New-Orleans, and is carried along the river as far as the German settlements, more than thirty miles above, making in the whole about fifty miles. This bank is of considerable width in some places, so as to form a handsome broad walk, and is kept up by the owners of the adjoining plantations, who are answerable for any damage sustained by the breaking down of the bank, if through their neglect. As all this country is very low and flat, and consequently liable to be overflowed, these levees are often continued round the whole plantation; so that, at the inundation, the surface of the surrounding water is considerably above the plantation, which seems to lie in a bed within it. This was the case when I was in New-Orleans, and the whole of the city was considerably below the level of the river's surface. The levee , which forms the boundary here, is a handsome raised gravel walk, planted with orange trees, and serves as a place of fashionable resort on a summer's evening. I have often enjoyed this promenade, admiring the serenity of the climate, and the majestic appearance of this noble river, which seemed to roll along in silent dignity at our feet, inattentive to the busy scene that was passing on its shores.
The houses are mostly of wood, and are raised about seven or eight feet from the earth, to make room for the cellars, which are on a level with the ground: for no buildings can be carried below its surface, on account of the height of the surrounding water. The upper part is furnished with an open gallery, which surrounds the building, a practice very common in warm countries.
In all societies where a number of people from different countries have met together, every one will naturally persevere in those habits to which he has been accustomed in his own country; and though a promiscuous intercourse may induce many men to relax a little, yet it will be long before they form a general character. The residents here are English, Irish, Scots, American, French, and Spanish; and though the four former constitute by far the greatest body of the people, yet the two latter form a distinct division, of which the Spanish are the least considerable. The characteristics of these nations are nearly the same as in the mother-country, though somewhat altered by that natural progress of assimilation already hinted at. The climate too may have some influence, and induce them to some little deviation from usage for the sake of ease and comfort; amongst the most baneful effects of which we may reckon that unconquerable disposition towards idleness so prevalent in warm countries. Nevertheless they are neat and cleanly in their houses and furniture, which, however, is a virtue of necessity rather than of inclination.
The diversion of the place consists principally of billiards, of which there are several tables. They have a play
house, which is rather small: it consists of one row of boxes only, with a pit and gallery. The plays are in French, and they have a tolerable set of actors. The inhabitants are musical; and gentlemen often perform in the orchestra at the theatre: in fact, they have no music, public or private, but such as is obtained in this voluntary way.
It is not in young colonies that we are to look for much improvement in the arts and sciences; it will be sufficient if they preserve those which they bring from the mother country, and do not degenerate too rapidly. Emigrants to such places are generally men of a speculative and enterprising turn; the connections which they form amongst each other are mostly for the sake of interest or immediate pleasure, and lose much of their relish for the want of that tie which is found to be the only true bond of society.
The climate during summer is intolerably hot: for a few days whilst I was there, in June, the thermometer stood at 117 degrees in the shade! It is deemed a very unhealthy place, which may probably be owing to its low situation; for there is scarcely a hill to be seen for many miles together; besides, the interior is full of swamps and woods; and the cultivated parts is in the immediate vicinity of the rivers.
The observance of the Sabbath is as loose and irreligious as in any other Roman catholic country. The morning is kept in the performance of a few forms and ceremonies under the roof of the church. This being ended, and with it the duty of the day, you every where observe the marks of hilarity and cheerfulness: scarcely has the priest pronounced his benediction, 'cre the fiddle or fife strikes up at the door, and the lower classes indulge themselves in juvenile diversions: singing, dancing, and all kinds of sports are seen in every street; and in the evening, to crown this scene of dissipation, the play-house and assembly-room are thrown open. This unbending of the mind from all worldly concerns, and suffering the gay dispositions of the heart to bear sway, took very much with the lower sort of people.
The trade of New-Orleans consists principally in the exportation of deerskins, bear-skins, beaver-furs, cotton, lumber, rice, and various other articles that are produced on the plantations up the river. The skins and furs are obtained from the Indians, who are continually bringing them down to this place, where they barter them for rifle-guns, powder, blankets, &c. The imports are chiefly West Indian produce, and such European manufactures as are most in demand amongst the inhabitants, or intended for the traders among the Indians. This latter is very profitable. There was a gentleman at this time at New-Orleans who had followed it for some years; he was then preparing for another expedition, and I proceeded with him about three hundred miles on his way to the province of Mexico. He told me, that though it was a life of extreme fatigue and much danger, yet it was difficult to be procured, as the Spanish governors were very jealous in admitting any one to this privilege; and it would be impossible to carry it on without their permission. His method of conveying such articles as he took out to them, was in little barrels placed upon pack-horses, three barrels on one horse; and in this manner he would travel for hundreds, I may say thousands, of miles through the woods of America, bartering with the Indians as he went along, and receiving from them skins, furs, wild horses, &c. which are all sent down to New-Orleans.
Most of the exports above-mentioned are the produce of the plantations within two or three hundred miles of New-Orleans; but flour, one of the most considerable, with a small quantity of hemp, tobacco, &c. is the produce of the American settlements on the Ohio, more than two thousand miles above New-Orleans! These articles are put on board a kind of boat, or rather raft, which is nowhere to be found but on these rivers: they are flat-bottomed, about twelve feet wide, and forty feet long, and carry from ten to fifty tons: they are made of the coarsest materials, because they are always broken up and sold when they arrive at New-Orleans, it being impossible for them to return against the stream. Early in spring these boats are loaded, and, floating night and day, they are soon carried by the force of the stream at the rate of five miles an hour, through a highly romantic country, down the Mississippi, where they arrive about the time that the inundations commence. In this river, the navigation of which is dangerous on account of the rapidity of the current, and the numerous logs that lie con-
cealed just below the surface of the water, the boatmen are obliged to proceed with caution, and it is near a month or five weeks before the voyage is completed; a voyage where you are secluded from all society of man, except in a savage state; but where the eye is relieved by a continual change of the most delightful and picturesque scenery, and some of the grandest and most sublime views of nature.
DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.
NEW-ORLEANS, July 4.
We are happy to announce the arrival in this city, on Wednesday last, of Col. Burr (late Vice-President of the United States) and suite, all in good health. We understand he will make only a stay of ten or fifteen days amongst us, when he will depart for the Western country, and will spend the latter part of the summer and fall in Kentucky.
LEXINGTON, July 12.
Some time during the last spring, it was announced, that a combination of the Indian tribes west of the Mississippi had been formed against the Osages, or Washaha, up the Missouri. Since that period, the account of this expedition has been doubted. We have now to inform our readers, that the intelligence has recently been confirmed by a Chickasaw Indian, who, with his companions, was in Lexington a few weeks past. He says, that not only his own nation have actually sent forward their warriors, but that the Cherokee, Chactah, and all the other tribes to the north had started on the expedition.
NEW-YORK, August 9.
Last Wednesday the ship Annawan , Holmes master, arrived at Philadelphia in 60 days from Liverpool. On the passage, June 22, captain Holmes was brought to by the British frigate Cerberus , and boarded by an officer, who informed him that off the Western Islands they had engaged and captured the new French frigate Ville de Paris , of 44 guns and 330 men, after an action of three and a half hours, and sent her for England. The Cerberus had 17 men killed, and 33 wounded. Among the former was the first lieutenant, and the latter the captain.
PHILADELPHIA, August 5. SPANISH AFFAIRS.
The present aspect of our relations with Spain is such as to warrant the expectation of an immediate rupture, the arrival of this crisis is no matter of astonishment: It is only to be wondered, by what ingenious humility the event has been deferred to this period. Since the occlusion of the port of New-Orleans (which was manifestly an act of studied insult and outrage) down to the present moment, the catalogue of Spanish wrongs has been increasing in number and magnitude. Forbearance on our part, has only provoked reiterated injury; and even when our government had assumed a few sparks of energy, they have produced from a corrupt enemy, nothing but prevarication and subterfuge. Washington and Madrid have alike witnessed the humiliation of a nation professing to possess all the prerogatives of independence. On the ocean, in our rivers, and in our harbors, our citizens and our laws have been derided and abused. Rights have been refused, indemnity for wrongs been denied; our foreign agents have been either totally neglected or openly insulted; unjust rigors and exactions have been imposed upon our commerce; and, as if the aggravation could not be too heinous, the honour of the government has at last been violated by an offensive attack on its regular armed force! Under this accumulation of injuries, to be quiescent, would be cowardice—while to act, would be nothing more than the dictate of ordinary feeling.
This state of things is manifestly the effect of the crooked policy of our own administration. In order to avoid war, Washington advised his countrymen always to be prepared for it. But what has been the practice of Mr. Jefferson? Has he, in his foreign transactions, impressed the nations of Europe with a competent idea of our ability to vindicate the national honour? Or, has he not rather thrown that scorn on the mercy of powers with whom he has negotiated? Even Spain, the humblest and most pusillanimous nation on the globe, has been truckled to? And she, as it were, ac-
quiring spirit from our evidence of the want of it, has poured out injury and insult with no sparing hand.
War, it cannot be denied, in its best shape, is an evil to any nation. Under our present circumstances, however, there are many considerations to diminish its inconveniences. Our country, throughout its whole extent, is agitated by rival contentions, by state jealousies, and local animosities. Indeed these passions have proceeded to so deplorable a height as almost to menace the federal compact with dissolution. Hence it is that at such a crisis, we conceive a foreign point of action for the feelings and energies of our citizens, might possibly tranquillize our domestic tumults, and consolidate into one uniform system, the principles and views of good men of all parties. We are indeed in want of some external pressure to force us to a proper estimate of our real situation and resources.
With respect to the precise state of our concerns with Spain, we only learn, that our government has proceeded so far as to intimate that her foreign agents here might depart at pleasure.
WASHINGTON-CITY, August 6.
Yesterday dropped down from the Navy-Yard in Washington, the United States' frigate Adams , Capt. Murray. She reached Alexandria last evening—it is probable she will not stay longer than part of to-day, when she will sail on a cruise off our coast, for the purpose of protecting our commerce from the marauding picaroons which have so long and shamefully been suffered to plunder our citizens of their hard earnings—interrupt us in our own harbors—and interrupt our intercourse with others. It is we think to be regretted that this cruise has been so long delayed—and it is surprising that government should not have tho't of it before. It has long been our opinion that one frigate at least should be constantly on our coast. Certainly our commercial citizens deserve every attention—it is from their industry and enterprise that government derives its revenue.
Extract of a letter from an officer of the United States at Syracuse, dated 11th May, 1805, to commodore Preble.
"The Commodore is still at Malta—his health something better. The Enterprise is expected every day from Venice, entirely rebuilt. Capt. Barron, of the Essex, left this port yesterday for Malta, leaving a brig, called the Franklin , which I believe he purchased at Trieste, intended for a Bomb. A Mr. Farquhar, arrived here a few days ago, from Alexandria; he says that Mr. Eaton had marched some days before (which was about the 4th of March) with 100 Christians, and the old Bashaw with about 4000 Turks; their hopes were very sanguine to get safe, and take possession of Derne and Bengozah. We have had no official account from Mr. Eaton as yet, but it is rumored at Malta, that he is in Derne. The Argus is expected to bring us news soon."
In addition to the information received by Mr. Harrod, arrived at Newburyport from Trieste, we are further informed, that "he learnt at Syracuse, that Gen. Eaton, who was in the vicinity of Alexandria, in concert with the ex-bashaw, were going against Tripoli, with an army of 20,000 Arabs. He also learnt that the American squadron would commence their operations about the 1st of July, when our "smallest competent force" will no doubt do all in their power to subdue this heretofore unconquerable race of barbarians."
Hints. —Bonaparte, so the report goes in the Mediterranean, employed all his influence over the king of Naples, to dissuade him from lending his gun boats during the present campaign to our squadron before Tripoli.
Bonaparte, it may be conceived, has employed all his influence over the king of Spain to dissuade him from executing the convention of 1802, and surrendering the eastern slope of Louisiana.
Who knows whether Bonaparte may not have obtained the cession of the Floridas from Spain, as he formerly obtained the cession of Louisiana?
[Richmond Enquirer.]
ALEXANDRIA, August 8. FATAL DUEL! It is with regret we announce the sacrifice of a victim at the shrine of the sanguinary practice of duelling. Yesterday morning, at six o'clock, a duel was fought between Mr. Enock M. Lyles of this town, and Mr. John F. Bowie of Piscataway, Maryland, at Johnson's spring, about 6 miles

from this town, on the Virginia side of the Potomac. They exchanged shots at 15 feet distance; when unfortunately, Mr. Lyles received his antagonist's ball a little below his right breast—the ball passed through his liver—and he expired a few minutes before 11 o'clock yesterday.
John A. Burford, the person apprehended on suspicion of wounding and robbing Mr. Peter, on Tuesday underwent a final examination before the magistrates, and was committed for trial at the next court, which commences on the fourth Monday of November next.
We have seen a letter from a gentleman in Leghorn, which contains an extract of a letter from one of the American captives in Tripoli, dated so late as April 9, giving the following very agreeable information. 'A fair prospect opens to our view of being restored to the arms of our country and friends.' Although we do not know the particular cause which gave rise to this pleasing expectation of our unfortunate brethren, we are persuaded from the character of the writer, that some occurrence has taken place to justify us in congratulating the friends of the captives and the country, on the prospect of a speedy release.
The ship Otis, arrived at New-York, brings London papers to the 18th of June, by which it appears that a negotiation between the belligerent powers was depending; but the overtures on the part of France prescribing the treaty of Amiens as a ground not to be departed from, little hope was entertained of a pacification.
The armament under Gen. Craig, after putting into Lisbon, had arrived at Gibraltar, whence it was supposed it would proceed against Minorca.
Advices had been received in England to the middle of January, from the East-Indies—they were said to be of great importance. General Lake, after a severe conflict, had defeated the army of Holkar, who after the dispersion of his cavalry, had taken refuge with his remaining troops in one of the forts, and it was expected he would soon be compelled to surrender. The loss on both sides had been very great.
MARTINSBURG, August 16.
From the Norfolk Ledger, August 9.
GREAT NEWS.
Just as this paper was put to press, arrived Captain Haynes, in the schooner Paragon, fifteen days from St. Bartholomews, from whom we learn the following particulars: That the day before he sailed information was received at St. Bartholomews from Barbadoes, which advised that a frigate had arrived at that Island after a short passage from England, with dispatches, which stated that the Brest fleet had put to sea, and that an engagement had taken place between it and the British channel fleet, in which six ships of the line of the French were taken, three sunk, and the remainder returned to Brest in a very shattered condition.
Foreign. —In the Glasgow Journal of the 14th June, we find the following remarks on the present situation of Europe:
Our foreign news for last week, has been inconsiderable. Russia, by accounts coming down to a late date in May, appears still to prosecute most strenuously, the extension of her power on the Black sea. The internal improvements of the empire advances at this time more rapidly than ever. The Georgians, Mingrellians, Circassians, and those other barbarous tribes which desolate and infest the regions between the Russian and Persian empires, are about to be subdued, restrained and civilized. The emperor Alexander seems to incline to peace with France, yet prepares for war. Sweden, speaking in some sort the very voice of Russia, declares against Buonaparte, with a spirit and firmness second only to those of Britain. Denmark is silent, on account of the vicinity of the French troops, or for other reasons, but will not ultimately resist the influence of Russia and Sweden. Prussia still maintains a doubtful part, cautious, but scarcely honourable, and certainly remote from sublime and manly wisdom. The Turkish government, acting like Sweden, under Russian influence, has boldly set the menaces of Buonaparte at defiance; Russia hesitates, maintains a threatening posture and aspect, and tries to wrest from Prussia, the pride of being umpire in the present contest: Portugal is still
secure in a sort of neutrality, by the prudence of its government, by the readiness of its contributions, by the danger least Russia should take arms, and Spain revolt, as soon as the Portuguese were actually attacked. We should not be surprised to learn that Buonaparte had offered to sacrifice all his other pretensions in an offer of peace upon terms which should procure the general recognition of his powers and titles as emperor of France and king of Italy.

From a Sermon preached at Newburyport (Mass.) by the Rev. Daniel Dana, March 31st, 1805, on the Importance of Virtue and Piety as qualifications of Rulers.
Open your hearts to the peculiar exigencies of the time—Attend to the important claims of this beloved country. Feel her interests as your own; and commit them to men of principle—of exemplary purity in private life—of open un-suspected regard to religion—and whose patriotism appears less in plausible and flattering professions, than in costly sacrifices, and substantial services. In short, manifest your affection and fidelity to your country by confiding her momentous concerns to the same hands to which you could cheerfully trust your properties, yourselves, your wives and your children. Remember that as our elections are important tests of national character, as they are fertile sources of public prosperity or ruin, if they are preserved pure, our nation will still be blest—If they are contaminated, the period cannot be distant, when this fair and favoured land will be deluged with irreligion and licentiousness, with injustice and confusion, and with the awful indignation of a righteous God.
The following correct remarks appear in a note in the 24th page of the same sermon.
There never was yet a flatterer of the people who had not some selfish purpose to serve. And the people may rely on it that none hold their understandings in more sovereign contempt, none are more completely indifferent to their interests, than their most abject flatterers. That flaming patriot, John Walke is a striking instance of the truth of this remark. 'I have,' says he, 'a real pleasure in finding out, and following the opinions of the people. I will through life be faithful to their cause. I firmly and sincerely believe the voice of the people to be the voice of God; I wish always to hear it clear and distinct.—When I do, I will obey it as a divine call, with spirit and alacrity fearless of every consequence, and dutifully submitting my own private opinion.' Yet this adorer of the people is well known to have frequently remarked among his intimates, that the public was a goose, and that a man was a great fool not to pluck a feather.—accordingly by a course of adulation and artifice, he possessed himself of a lucrative office in the city of London; from which period, his professions and the people were equally forgotten. He lived and died a supporter of the very men and measures he had formerly decried and opposed. Such are the detestable arts by which thousands have raised themselves over the heads of an abused and degraded people. The great master of the human heart has painted such parasites to life.
—Lowliness is young-ambition's ladder, Whereon the climber upward turns his face! But when he once attains the utmost round, He then unto the ladder turns his back. Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees By which he did ascend.
Many have been the accounts of the Mountains and fields of Ice, seen this spring in the Atlantic Ocean, but as we have seen none among them so circumstantial as the following, extracted from the journal of a passenger on board the Hercules, from this port for Europe, transmitted to his friend in this city, we give it, not doubting it will be acceptable to the most, if not all our readers. (True American.)
April 27. This evening we made the Grand Bank of Newfoundland, and are, by calculation 1200 miles from the Cape of Delaware.
April 29. There are now in sight 3 islands of Ice of immense height, they are afloat, but do not appear to have the motion of the sea. The Atmosphere in their vicinity is remarkably cold.—About twelve o'clock we passed what ap-
peared to me to be one of the most stupendous works of nature; a mountain of Ice, considerably higher than our main top-gallant mast head, we ran to windward of it, and so near, that we were within fifty yards of it.—At four o'clock we had passed seventy five of these islands—some had the appearance of large ships, bearing down before the wind—others of Churches and Lofty Steeples, and another cluster so large as to be called Neptunes Head Quarters.—At five o'clock we fell in with a large field of Ice, extending further than the eye could reach and which lay directly in our course—no person on board the Hercules ever witnessed such a scene.—Mr. H. who has been three years on the North West Coast of America, says, he never saw such mountains of Ice.—In consequence of this field, we were obliged to alter our course and are now going at the rate of seven miles an hour directly from our port.—About twelve o'clock at night we fell in with a field supposed the same from which we stood in the afternoon which obliged us to alter our course a second time; the captain thinks this a very extraordinary circumstance, being in the latitude of 47 North. April 30th, we are now entirely surrounded with mountains and islands of Ice; 11 o'clock A. M. we had passed 100 of these floating Wonders of Nature; one in particular had the appearance of a regular built House; followed by a large tail lofty Spire, much like the light-house at the entrance of Delaware Bay only to appearance about three times its height. These received the appropriate names of Noah's Ark and Pompey's Pillar.—We are now bearing directly from our port, and suppose we may count on at least, three days to clear the ice and run to a more southerly latitude. May 1st. several islands of ice in sight this morning, though not so numerous as yesterday—about 3 o'clock we descried a large field of loose and broken ice a head, the Captain hesitated in what manner to proceed. At five we came up with the main body and got so much entangled in it, that it required great attention to pass through. At eight o'clock we cleared the whole field and had a free and open sea.

English Education.
I PROPOSE opening my Academy at Mount Zoar, again, on the first Monday in September, and wish all who purpose to place their Children with me, to enter them that day, that proper classes may, at once, be formed, and suitable books, where they are wanted, be procured for the pupils.
As this Academy has been several years in operation, under the favor of considerable patronage, and consequently the course of education, the morals and manners, and the attention and care practised at it, as also the terms of Board and Tuition generally known, nothing on these heads need be said at present.
I will, however, just observe, that as an increase of attention is not herein promised, so, a diminution of it need not be feared.

L ITTLE Rambler of the night, Where and whence thy glowing light? Is it formed of ev'ning dew? Where and whence thy brilliant hue? Hark! methink's, a voice replies, He that form'd the azure skies, Great to least, and good to all, Lord of man, and insect small, He, it was, that made this vest, Search, adore, nor know the rest.
Little rambler of the night, Blessed be this voice of thine! He that cloth'd thy form in light, Is the God of me and mine.
Go enjoy in verdant fields, What his Royal bounty yields; Nip the leaf or taste the flower; Sup in Nature's roseate bower; Filling full the span that's given, With the boons of gracious Heaven.
