Il is earnestly hoped that MIR. E. Ran.
dolph will carry into execution his inten.
ded plan of occurring either at the Capia
toll, or in some other convenient place, up
on Rhetoric, Law, and, perhaps Political
IEconomy.
| l.. H. Girardin has now removed hisfa-
mily to Richmond, with an intention to de.
vote himself more particularly than ever
to the instruction of youth. To the female
Ipupils Mrs. Girardin will extend par.
itlcular, and, indeed, maternal attention -
Young Ladies, may, for moderate dis.
tinct charge, acquire at the Academy, the
ornamental arts, such as Landscape, FL.
cure. and flower drawing and painting,
together with Vocal and Instrumental Mu-
SIC. The choice of Masters tor those
branches shall be entirely left to Parents
and Guardianship is contemplated spec.
I Oily to print both the rules and the terms.
Copies of the same will be delivered to APP
lplicants. Suificeit TO premise that the rules
shall be rational and mild, yet, such as
energetlcally TO promote both intellectual
and naoral Improvement. The primary,
the sacred objects OF school shall IN no
INSTANCE be sacrificed to undue considera-
tions.--As to the terms, l.. ii. Girardin IS
convinced that they wall b. found satis-
| factory, never having observed reluo-
ltance on the part of Parents and Guardi-
ans to be just, and even liberal, where a..
bilitits, zeal, and system are Combined.
4 4he above plan will be carried into o..
operation from the first OF september next,
at the house lately occupied by Mr.. f.!
Randolph. near the Capitol.
