Power, a gentleman recommended hy Eu :
ropean characters OF high responsibility
TO the venerable Doctor John Carol, Bish-
op Of baltimore, and whose conduct, and
display of abilities, have uniformly been.
such as to justify the eulosies of his
friends.
In letter to L. H. Girardin the r. Il.
Dr.. Carroll expresses himself, respecting
Mr.. Power, in the following terms. q
MIR Power very respectfully connect.
ed--his manners < address are highly gen..
tlemaniy. Besides, possessing the talents
requisite for teaching the branches
mentioned in your letter, he has res
pcctabie testimonials of his ability to give
lessons in the Classics, Greek and Latin,
and in the Mathematics, In short, do not
think that you can find in America q per-
son better fitted for the employment, in
respect both to character and abilities.
One of Mr.. Powers qualifications is to
speak the French language, &c,"
Very satisfactory specimens of Mr. Pow
er's penmanship may be seen upon APP

ents aud Guardians, as attach to that
branch peculiar value.
In consequence of the above, L. II. Cir.

1t is. earnestly hoped that MIR. T.. RAN
dolph will carry into execution his inten-
ded plan of featuring either at the Capt..
'ol, or in some other convenient place, up
on Rhetoric. Law, and, perhaps Political
ECONOMY.
l.. II. Girardin has now re moved his fa
mily to Richmond, with an intention TO de.
vote himself more particularly than ever
to the instruction of youth. To the female
pupils Mrs. Girardin will extend a par.
ticuiar, and indeed, maternal attention.
Young Ladies, may, tor moderate s
tinct charge, acquire at the Academy, the
ornamental arts, such as Landscape, FL
cure, aud flower drawing, and painting,
together with Vocal and lnstrume ntal Md
S c. The choice of Masters for those
branches shall be entirely left to Parents
and GUARDIANSHIP is contemplated spec.
Oily to print both the rules aud the terms.
Copies of the same will be delivered to ap.
plicants. Suffice 1t topremise that the rules
shall be rational and mild, yet, such as
enc rgeticaily TO promote both intelle ctual
and moral Improvement. The primary
the sacred objects of a school shall IN no
instance be sacrificed to undue considera-
tfons.--As to the terms, l.. Ii. Girardin is
convinced that they will bs found salts
factory, never having observed a reluc
tance Oh the part OF Parents and Guardi.
aus to be just, ana even liberal, where a.
bilitles, zetl, and system are combined.
The above plan will be carried into o.
perauon from the first OF September next
at the house lately occupied By Mr.. K!
Randolph near the Capitol.
