4 NEW arrangement will soon be
"a made in the Academy, which, 1t Is
anticipated, will greatly promote the u
tility and importance Of the institution {;
facilitate the progress OF the ohola's |;
and conduce to their orderly and moral
department. All the small Scholars Will
be removed to the upper room where
they will be taught all the rhdlments OF
education, as preparatory to the other
rooms. The Inconvenience OF small
Scholars, in mixing and assoclatIng Wild
the large ones, will hereby be prevented:
The upper classes IN the Languages VIII
will he confined to the middle room.
AS it has long been the wish Ut the
friends of this seminary to annex to 1t a
school exclusively for the English and
Mathematical branches, an able and ex'
perienccd instructor in all these branch
es and also in the French Lang uage, has
been procured to take charge OF the lower
room. Exercises in parsing, and in &C
curing an accurate and practical KNOW
ledge of the English Grammar Geo
graphy and the use Of the Globes and
Maps Arithmetic and the various
branches of Mathematics will be attend-
ed 10 with the greatest care in this de-
partment.
1t is hoped that the manner in which
these branches will be taught and the
system Of English education, which IS
intended here to be established, viii
meet with the appreciation and encoa.
ragement OF the inhabitants of Alexan-
dria. The whole school will be inspect
ed every month by the Trustees. Those
who wish their children taught French,
are desired to apply early.

1t seems now pretty well understood that
the war harangues at Washington, the bills
for raising an additional standing army, and
for building and equipping navy, are likely
to result in nothing else than an increased ex
ecutive patronage, anda more rigid enforce
ment Of the Napoleon system OF restrictive
energies SO evident has this become, that
some Of the most eager applauders OF the
presidents message, and the report OF the
committee of foreign relations, are now sheer
ing with insufferablc disdain upon the admi-
nistration and their measures. Among the
most prominent of these are the Aurora and
the Baltimore Whig. Take the following as
one specimen from the Wing:

" The ulterior hoiicy Of the French Gove,1-
naent towards the United States."-
MESSAGE.
At this time of day it is impossible to mis-
take the uAerior policy of the French govern
ment towards us, and every nation else which
It can reach by its arts & its by arms. Alter
drinking the blood of near two millions OF Its
own citizens, it has constantly, under It's seve-
raj different forms for fifteen years at least,
been manifcsting furious lust Tor universal
dominion. Tho gorged with domination, 1t
is never satisfied; like the grave, 1T Says not,
"it is enough" The hellish machinery 1t has
used, from first to last, for crushing the ma
tons and making them the sport OF It's fury,
is compound of fraud and force. 1t embraces
them, and with the hug OF bear stties them
in the embrace 1t offers them liberty and
loads them with chains. 1t makes them first
its allies, and then its vassals.
This has been the steady course OF the
French government for even considerable
time before Napoleon Bonaparte became the
sole master, Of France ard he himself has
pursued the same course as steady as time,
and without single instance OF deviation
! Let facts speak.
1t was in the year 1875 that Holland yielded
to an alliance with France. The gates OF
Amsterdam were thrown open to French
army. They were received as friends and
brothers. The houses were illuminated.-A
general festival was kept throughout the
! whole city. The welkin as it were was rent
with destinations OF Joy. The Hollanders
had been promised over and over again, that
their rights should be respected. OFT and ma
ny time Bonaparte himself expressed SIN
eular love for the Hollanders. We need not
/. relate the rest.
!; Again, in the year 1898 (Bonaparte being
thenthe prime manager ofthe affairs OF France
!: in Italy, the gates Of Rome were opened 70
an army of Frenchmen, who wanted admission
for no other reason Gas it was pretended) but
to amuse the citizens with funeral Jefe
which they were ABOUT institutipg In honor OF
General Duphot. "The. tefe was very splen-
did, and naturally attracted the curiosity OF
most persons at Rome. The soIemn-drama
was acted in the piazza of ST. Peters. 1t
was received with universal applause. But

the spectators irnagined-for, while they were

We are indebted to Captain Barnard, of the

Nov. whose contents are principally anticipat-

MIR. Grswold, the bearer of dispatches from

BonAparte, before be left Holland, granted
sixty licenses for the importation Of certain ar

New licenses have been issued in England,
under the authority Of the board OF trade, on

For one ton Of copper in sheets, Ditto.

And for British cottons, cloths or woolens9,

Licences were also granted Tor the lmporta-
tion of gtaii from the Baltic.

Adyices from Paris TO the 9Th of Nov. stat
ed, that matters between Russia and France
remain as before Bonaparte has found 1t ex-
pedient to permit the Emperor Alexander to
regulate his own trade for the present; the af-
fairs Of Spain giving the former full employ
ment.
The Little Belt has been found unfit for the
service of government, and was advertised to
be sold at public auction; she IS stated to be
of the measurement of 462 tons.
Serious disturbances have broken oat in
Dalinatia, ard the adjacent provinces. The
oppression of the French government had
been found insupportable.
The island of Sicily was in great commo.
ton, the people and one party of the mobiles
being ia favor of becoming province of G.
Britain; from the complexion of the accounts
before Us, we are inclined to think, that Sicily
has become a British possession by this time,
at least, that the government has been taken
out OF the hands OF the late rulers.

Ssue, you acted upon your own responsible
~, and cannot blame the government
Sut. at all events, YOU have made an extra
profit on your goods; and YOU derive that
rrtTa profit from the circumstance of the
existence of the non importation law, which
prevented our merchants generally from
importing goods from England Why should
Iyou enjoy benefit from which as honest
men as YOU are have been precludedl At
any rate why should you reap an extra pro
hit! You levy that e.rtru profit from the
people; let it, therefore, go into the pubic
treasury for the good &c the people, and
content Yourselves with your usual profits
Such, we take to be the substance Of Mr.
Gallatin's opinion; and, if such it be, we
stand prepared todefend it.
The importers, Notwithstanding these de-
auctions, will be vast gamers; for it appears
IN evidence before the committee of WAYS
and Means, that, independent of the ezra
profit derived from the sale of their goods
in the United States, they purchased III Sc
goods, generally speaking, under circum-
stances, which yield them an extraordinar,
increase. For example; merchant here
sends cargo Of provisions to the Peninsula,
where he gets an advanced price for it
this constitutes the first hr fit on his capital:
de is there raid in bills on England at a dis
couht-thiss constitutes the second hrofi !:
He sends these bills to London, where. on
account of the non-importaton law, British
manufactures are purchased dog cheap
this is the third hrqjft. The extra profit on
sales in America is the fourth (r9ff. Now,
il is this fourth profit only that Mr.. Galatin
proposes to retain as the share Of govern
ment in the forfeitures, leaving the first
three profits and the customary profits of
les in the United States, tn the importers.
If there can be fairer offer than this, we
shall be glad to see it stated.
Besides, the present war is war for
commercial rights and there is no reason
why commercial men should not bear their
share of the expence; especially that class
of them who continue to encourage British
manufactures.
There are some few of the importers, no
doubt, who did not export provisions 20 the
Peninsula, and so did not reap the first pro
fit; but then they enjoyed all the rest; for
bills on England could be procured in our
own market at a very lucrative discount.
At what maximum Mr.. Gallatin may fix
the crtra profit, we do not know but we
hope he will not stint it. There is no doubt
that he knows quite as well as the impor-
tiers do what their profits are, or have been,
and will take care not to let the country be
defranded.
Indeed, we we're at one time inclined
think that the merchants bonds ought to be
entirely forfeited; and we shall not be at all
surprized if numrer of very enlightened
men advocate forfeitures to that extent. 1t
is highly probable that Mr.. Gallatin him
self may rate the ertra profit, in some cases,
10 that amount.
